RE: [SLE] Shameless plug: Vote for SuSE

They state that they have logs of the abuse, and that they are expecting an apology from SuSE. They claim that one of the SuSE employees found a hole in the filter, and was circumventing the software. Whether I believe them or not, I am not sure. The e-mail I have received for a Steve Emms, has been very short. If an employee did it, SuSE does owe an apology to them, and if they "the poll takers" are whining, then they need to grow up. -- Kirk Moore EPM - Release Management environments - STL's 425-965-6543 (desk) 425-797-9092 (pager) Black holes are created when God divides by zero! > ---------- > From: Jon Tillman[SMTP:tillmanj@sccoast.net] > Reply To: tillmanj(a)sccoast.net > Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2000 12:19 PM > To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com > Subject: Re: [SLE] Shameless plug: Vote for SuSE > > On Thu, 29 Jun 2000, Jack Barnett spewed forth into the void: > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Rafael E.

[SLE] Problems with Java
by jramberg＠looksmart.net 29 Jun '00

I traced my java problem to the kernel and sigsuspend.c. I remember that there was a problem like this mentioned for 6.4 and someone posted a solution. I was wondering if a similar fix exists for 6.3 [Here is my gdb output] tarting program: /opt/jdk1.2.2/bin/i386/green_threads/./appletviewer [New Thread 18059 (manager thread)] [New Thread 18053 (initial thread)] [New Thread 18060] [Switching to Thread 18060] Program received signal ?, Unknown signal. 0x4017d41e in __sigsuspend (set=0xbf7ffc98) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigsuspend.c:48 48 int result = INLINE_SYSCALL (rt_sigsuspend, 2, set, _NSIG / 8); (gdb) where #0 0x4017d41e in __sigsuspend (set=0xbf7ffc98) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigsuspend.c:48 #1 0x40296c19 in __pthread_wait_for_restart_signal (self=0xbf7ffe40) at pthread.c:785 #2 0x4029966e in __old_sem_wait (sem=0x80c922c) at restart.h:26 #3 0x400ebb0a in _start (tid_=0x80c91b0) at ../../../../../src/linux/hpi/native_threads/src/threads_md.c:323 #4 0x40294976 in pthread_start_thread (arg=0xbf7ffe40) at manager.c:241 Thanks to all that can help Jim -- 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] Nameserver probs
by R.Noordanus＠nl.worldonline.com 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

When i'm creating the file /etc/named.conf, and set the general options to listen-on { 212.204.227.85; 212.204.227.86; }; And /etc/resolv.conf to nameserver 212.204.227.85 and nameserver 212.204.227.86, it's very hard to ping altavista or other hosts. A nslookup takes aprox 30 seconds, I think that's not right. When leaving the rule listen-on { 212.204.227.85; 212.204.227.86; } from named.conf and setting /etc/resolv.conf back to nameserver 127.0.0.1, a ns lookup will be done directly. My ripe range is 212.204.227.81-90. So I think that's no problem. The system is on the domain click2c.net (hosted by an other DNS and not in mine DNS). I'm running suse 6.4. Could somenone help me.......

Re: [SLE] gz versus bz2

gz is much faster to uncompress eventhough a little bigger... gz --> gunzip bz2 - bunzip You can always do it at once... tar.gz --> tar xvfz file.tar.gz tar.bz2 -> tar xvfI file.tar.gz Best regards, Nelson >I noticed that the kernels at ftp.kernel.org are available >either in gz or in bz2 format.

[SLE] Kernel module version mismatch
by abrahams＠valinet.com 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

Today I downloaded the patch file for stock kernel 2.2.16 (the one from kernel.org) and then rebuilt my kernel and modules (after make oldconfig). Now, when I boot I get the message: kernel module version mismatch /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/sound.o was compiled for version 2.2.15 while this kernel is version 2.2.16 I get those same messages with "modprobe sound.o" after bootup. I built the kernel and modules with this command: make dep clean bzlilo modules modules_install I've repeated the make modules modules_install tep several times and also have checked that the sound.o file was compiled just a few minutes ago. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

My sentiments exactly. Perhaps they're thinking that Lenz 'abused' the poll by asking the list to vote for it. I don't really think so - if we didn't like the SuSE distribution best, we probably wouldn't have even bothered to check that site out (or join the list, for that matter). Perhaps they really _are_ sponsored by RH, or someone there just felt a bit like whining...

[SLE] Firm applies Linux to mobile phones (fwd)

" Subject: Firm applies Linux to mobile phones " X-URL: http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/news/2000/06/__10/20000630_1020.htm " Firm applies Linux to mobile phones " A Korean venture firm has developed a Linux-based software for smart phones, enabling users to change the functions and features on screen. Palm Palm Technology said the world's first Linux-embedded mobile phone will make its debut as early as November. Linux is an open-source operating system that its supporters claim is more stable and flexible than Microsoft's market-dominating Windows, which is closed and proprietary. Linux can be modified, changed and improved by software developers with all those changes shared with other developers. The company has recently succeeded in developing a Linux operating system, called "Tynux," for use in wireless Internet access terminals including cellular phones. "Mobile phones offer fixed interface and applications that users can's change. With the open-source operating system, they will be able to change the configuration and programs to their tastes," Chang Jong-a, an official of the company. The company is currently developing commercial wireless Internet devices, jointly with companies including SK TeleCom. The company plans to optimize the system further for other applications including personal digital assistants, videophones and set-top box. He said the firm is in talks with Chinese firms for a joint development project, an effort to advance into the huge market where Linux is most popular as an alternative to Windows.
