Well, you gave me enough hope that I d'led plugger.rpm from Suse (25K file), applied it and now I am back to Bus error. I changed permissions on /tmp/ndebug to 660 (it did get written, even with the new plugger). Maybe you could give me the URL for the correctly compiled plugger; I may have gotten the one that they were putting on the CD. Seems like it had an April, 2000 date stamp.

Message-ID: <F8E00308D321D41185F800902727D71EC183@navi-aktuel> From: Lars Lindegaard Hjorth <LLH(a)admit.dk> Date: Sat, 2 Dec 2000 15:33:15 +0100 Subject: Support for 2GB+ files i Samba in Suse 7.0? Hi I've installed Suse 7.0 pro. with Samba and everything works well until i tried to get a 2.5 GB database from an NT server. I've checked the source for Samba and it seems that a compiler directive "HAVE_EXPLICIT_LARGEFILE_SUPPOR" must be enabled for that to happen, or am i wrong here? Is there a method to check the running Samba for its support for files larger than 2 GB? If not, do some of you have a compiled Samba for Suse 7.0 that supports those big files? The big file is database for an accounting program. I'm very new to this stuf and i'm not familliar with the C-language (old pascal guy) thanks Lars

I just installed 7.0 (a clean install), including KDE 1. All seems to work well, but when I close down the X server I numerous repetitions of "Kmix : Could not write to mixer". The sound card is a Soundblaster Live Value and has the appropriate driver. The Kmix runs and works fine. The various /dev/mixer devices have the same permissions as all other devices. Any ideas please ? Thanks in anticipation. Geoff _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

I have kde2 and kde1 living happily together (it seems). Every thing else seems to work ok. The new kde2 mp3 player kaiman plays them when I login using kde2 but When I login using kde1 kmp3 doesn't put out any sound. It says it's playing but no sound and no increment of the progression indicators. Any one else seen this. I've got 3 machines all doing the same thing after these 2 upgrades. Under kde1 and kde2 xmms still plays them. kmp3 is the only one that won't????? -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh(a)cfl.rr.com
