Re: [SLE] {OT} Mixing audio from 2 SuSE systems into 1 speaker system

You need what is known as an A-B switch for stereo speakers. Any Radio Shack, or stereo shop should have them. It is not a good thing to put a signal into the output of a sound card. Been there, done that, replaced it.

Modules won't load.
by Shonne Beavers 09 May '01

09 May '01

I am using SuSE 7.1 with kernel 2.4.2. I recompiled it with 4GB memory and SMP. So this creates the modules in /lib/modules/2.4.2-4GB-SMP. The problem is that machine 'wants' to load modules from /lib/modules/2.4.2. How do I correct this? I have rebuilt the kernel about 4 times, same problem.

LILO order of boot choices on diskette
by Peter B. Van Campen 09 May '01

09 May '01

Using YAST2 the installer put LILO on a floppy. On another system LILO went on the MBR. On the LILO on MBR system I was arrange the order of the listed LILO options by editing /etc/lilo.conf, but on the sys that has a LILO boot floppy editing the /etc/lilo.conf does NOT change the screen order at the lilo prompt screen. Must something on that floppy be edited? I have not been able to mount that floppy from root logon; is there something special about that lilo boot diskette? Regards.................

Does Oracle work with the 2.4 kernel? Getting SIGSEGV
by Barnet Wagman 09 May '01

09 May '01

I'm trying to install Oracle 8i (release 2) on a SuSE 7.1 system with the 2.4.2 kernel. Immediately after invoking runInstaller, I get the error SIGSEGV received at bfffd97c in /cdrom/stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/linux/lib/native_threads/libjava.so Any idea what this means and how to fix it? Is anyone running Oracle with the 2.4 kernel? FYI I'm using a kernel I compiled myself (the precompiled ones seem to have problems with basic networking, at least with the k6 processor). My kernel config is quite conventional (except that the processor type is k6). Thanks, bw

Where does Sax2 store the configuration?
by Paul Abrahams 09 May '01

09 May '01

I'm running Suse7.1 with X4.0.3, and I want to include the TrueType fonts from my Windows partition in the fonts list. I went into SaX2 and added the appropriate directory to the list shown there (by the way, is it possible to reorder the list as well as add and delete items?). However, when I exited I discovered that /etc/XF86Config hadn't been modified. I went back into SaX2 and verified that SaX2 knew about the addition to the font directory list. So where is that information being saved, if not in /etc/XF86Config? Also, how can I tell if my X server now can see the TrueType fonts and what its fontlist really is? Paul

Email Server II limiting name length
by Mark Knecht 09 May '01

09 May '01

Hi, Email Server II seems to be enforcing some rule that email names can't be longer than 8 characters. Anyone else seeing this? I'm trying to convert an existing set of users from Exchange Server to Email Server II and asking folks to change their existing addresses is not an attractive solution. Does anyone know how to get around this? (I'm pretty sure it's not a postfix limitation...) Mark

RE: [SLE] Handling unknown users in Email Server II
by Mark Knecht 09 May '01

Wilson, It runs postfix. There are two setup pages, one of which has about 100 parameters that can be set for more advanced features. Possibly this is one of them? If you happen to know what parameter would make this work, then I'll look for it inside the tool.

mantel 2.4.3 kernel, SMP /1Gb
by Gerhard den Hollander 09 May '01

09 May '01

I installed a 2.4.3 suse kernel on some of our machines here (SMP support, 4G mem limit) The kernel works fine on single CPU machines, installing the same kernel on an SMP machine with 1G of ram causes the kernel to hand immeditaley after freeing unsused kernel memory (just before it sais INIT version XXXX ....) Doing an append="MEM=768M" in lilo makes the thing work just fine. Anyone outthere with an SMP machine w 1G (or more) who has got that kernel (or a later one, at least one with the knfsd/reiser patch) working with 1G ?
