[SLE] Questions about performance and hdparm
by lfent＠esker.com 05 May '00

05 May '00

Does anyone know a good benchmarking program? I guess what I'm trying to figure out is if my UDMA/33 Drives are working as they should, of if I'm settling for a PIO mode 3 access because I don't have something turned on. I've looked at the Benchmarking how-to and it doesn't seem to cover what I'm looking for. Can anyone suggest a way to get the maximum performance from your HDD's?

[SLE] Choice of Portable system for SuSE 6.4
by DNess＠Home.Com 05 May '00

05 May '00

I am very happy with my instillation of SuSE 6.4 and now want to put it up on one of my portables. I have the choice of installing it on a Dell Inspiron 7500 or on a Sony Vaio N505VE. I am curious if anyone can suggest a reason why one of these choices might be better than the other, as I am pretty much free to choose. Any reported experience with either system would be helpful to me in making this choice. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] No laptop sound
by fountai＠hursley.ibm.com 05 May '00

05 May '00

I've got a new Dell 5000 laptop and I'm having trouble getting sound out of it using Alsa. I'm running SuSE-6.3 which carries an old version of Alsa which doesn't support the Maestro sound card, so I got the latest version via Freshmeat. Following the ALSA-HOWTO, I load the modules using 'modprobe snd-card-es1968' and 'modprobe snd-pcm-oss' and all the device files appear as expected. When I try to 'cat largefile.txt > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p' I get an error saying "cat: write error: File descriptor in bad state". What am I doing wrong? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Hi everyone, Is there a way to remove a mail from the que. When a user writes a wrong address the mail is deferred and it is kept in the que. Is there a command to kill that specific mail before you start receiving the mail is delayed continuously -- Togan Muftuoglu toganm(a)turk.net -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

If linux is shutdown you should be able to turn off the power by holding the power button down (about 5 or 6 seconds). Usually this is configurable in the bios so you should have the option to change it to power off without the delay. As far as apm goes, the best I can do is recommend that you install the apm kernel from the CD (depending on which version you have) since I haven't played with apm or looked at the options carefully enough to guide you.

[SLE] Processor Upgrade
by mflores＠midway.uchicago.edu 05 May '00

05 May '00

I just upgraded my P120 processor (Intel AN430TX mobo) using an Evergreen Spectra 400 that has an AMD K6-2 400mhz chip on it. After the upgrade and after flashing the BIOS with the latest version, BIOS reports that it has a 300mhz chip on it. I run KDE and used the Control Center to look at the hardware information and it reports that it has a 400mhz processor (correctly identifies that it's AMD K6-2 also). How will I truly know that Linux recognizes that it's using a 400 mhz processor? Is there a software I can use to confirm this? I'm using a SuSE 6.2 installation . . .
