Hi guys! Please post to the list and don't send it to me!

YaST online update question
by David Kanter 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

Is there a way to specify a different ftp server using the console-based yast2 online_update program? I've hand-edited the /etc/suseservers file but it keeps getting overwritten.

I am also working withe the laptop maker. Suse seems to be ignoring my request for help under the 60 day help for users plan though. I am really dissappointed in their lack of response. They used to be very good at helping solve installation problems. I guess they have cut to the point where there is no one left to help people who actually bought their product.

CD-R burning from drive to drive with SuSE Linux 7.3
by David List 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

On a system with a SCSI DVD-ROM drive and an IDE CD-RW drive I try to burn from the DVD-ROM drive directly to the CD-RW drive. With no luck. I am trying to do the same thing that works on other systems with the same setup: find the the burner drive with 'cdrecord -scanbus' and insert it into the line cdrecord -v [burner-drive] speed=1 -isosize [source-drive] On this system it becomes cdrecord -v dev=2,0,0 speed=1 -isosize /dev/sr0 I cannot do this as a regular user on this system. The message is: david@dt:~> cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=2,0 -isosize /dev/sr0 Cdrecord 1.11a05 (i686-suse-linux) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot do mlockall(2). cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns. cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority(). cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns. cdrecord: Operation not permitted. shmctl failed to lock shared memory segment david@dt:~> If I su to root and issue the same command, the usual startup-messages appear, but no real burning takes place when it should start. I just see this message: Waiting for reader process to fill input buffer... And the source-drive spins up and down forever. Burning from ISO-images to the CD-RW drive works fine. What could the problem be? TIA Best regards, David List

wird character msg.
by w 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

no matter what box i install 7.3 on, and no matter if it's a new ( clean) install or an update I get the following "information" in the xconsole. blas logger: Warning weird character in interface 'ppp*' ( no aliases, :, ! or *). I thought the first time I saw it that perhaps it had to do w/ a switchover from modem ( dialup isp) to the current dsl isp... but , as I said the same message appears even on a clean installation , w/ formatting disks etc. so now I am stumped !

Xinerama

Hi. My '/etc/X11/XF86Config' has these lines: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[0]" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "SendCoreEvents" Option "Xinerama" "off" Screen "Screen[0]" Screen "Screen[1]" RightOf "Screen[0]" EndSection (I use two screens and two mice). Mostly, things work. If I change Xinerama to: Option "Xinerama" "on" X doesn't start and '/var/log/XFree86.0.log' contains at the end: .................... (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse[1]" (type: MOUSE) (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse[0]" (type: MOUSE) PanoramiX error: Incompatible screens. No common visuals Fatal server error: could not create connection block info When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Please report problems to feedback(a)suse.de. (II) Screen 0 shares mem & io resources (II) Screen 1 shares mem & io resources TIA for any idea (apart from reporting to feedback(a)suse.de).
