am I hacked ?
by Damir Buskulic 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi, I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev" and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0 length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have installed a rootkit or some such ? I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.

SEGV while working with va_list
by appy 80 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hi, The following program crashes on suse-ppc. I am trying to copy the command line parameters to a string buffer. I tried this on suse i386 and its working fine. Its crashing on suse-ppc. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdarg.h> main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char Buffer[1024]; va_list ap; //ap = argv; //works fine on i386 va_copy(ap,argv); // cant use ap = argv on ppc. Need to use va_copy vsprintf(Buffer,"Command Line arguments: %s\n",ap); printf("%s", Buffer); } Please help me in resolving this. Thank you, Appy.

Over-ride MD5SUM errors during install
by larrystotler＠netscape.net 27 Oct '06

27 Oct '06

Is there any way to tell YaST to ignore MD5SUM errors during installation? I have had some serious issues with the install CDs since v10.0. I get MD5SUM errors during package installations as well as when I run the check media during the installation. I was just installing on a dual Xeon-64 system, and I got an error installing MainActor and when I hit ignore, the installation failed and dumped me to the text mode. I get this on x86, x86-64, AND PPC. It is really annoying. Or is there any way to have the installer realize that a previous installation has failed and to start from that point? Even Windows can manage that, but I have NEVER seen YaST offer to do this. I've burned the install CDs with SuSE v9.2, 9.3, 10.0, 10.1 using K3B as well as under Windows and I have problems way too often. I can't imagine that all my drives are bad, I have dozens. I could care less about the MD5rSUMs of a package. I just want to be able to install without having to restart over and over.... It also doesn't matter what speed or type of machine. I have had erros with 200Mhz 604es as well as 2.8Ghz 64bit Xeons and 400Mhz G4s, 400Mhz G3s, 466Mhz G3s, etc. Sorry to vent, but I have posted about this before, and it keeps haunting me. ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection.

Hi, I check the path that you told me and see the "powersaved" is "yes" then i do your suggestion again and click on finish but when i boot the system i get the error again.

Scroll down to "powersaved" and Enable it by clicking the "Enable" button below. It should start and handle any dependencies automatically. When you click "Finish", I think it asks if you want to keep the changes, say Yes and that should handle it.

Strange memory limits
by Narayan Newton 19 Oct '06

19 Oct '06

Hi, I have been chasing a problem for the last couple of days that has me stumped. I am running SLES9 on a POWER machine with around 30 gigs of ram. I want to run some analysis processes that will take up about 10 gigs of ram each. However, for some reason processes are running out of memory at the 3.7 gig mark on this machine. Actually, Python procs run out at 2.1 gigs and C programs start getting ENOMEM errors at 3.7 gigs. I don't have any per process memory limits set and this problem has me baffled. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks. --Narayan Newton
