[OT] Virtual Memory ?
by Mark Hounschell 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Can anyone tell me where to find info on Virtual Memory size limitations. By Virtual Memory I'm talking about the VIrtual Memory that is used when mapping physical pci controller memory to Virtual Memory space. What and where are the limitations of how much a system can use and so forth. I am running out of it and need to find out why and how I can (if possible) increase the amount available. I'm using 2.4.16-SuSE kernel. Sorry if this it WAY OFF TOPIC but I am using SuSE and I know there are lots of very knowledgeable people on this list. Thanks in advance Mark

Re: [SLE] CSV??
by Bill Sheehan 26 Feb '02

Hi Dennis, What is the context? CSV is comma separated values (a universally understood database format in which each record is separated by a comma), circuit switched voice, common services verbs (thank you, Microsoft), cash surrender value, and probably three or four other things. There's also CVS , which is either Concurrent Version System or a chain of pharmacies.

HELP: Bandwidth Accounting using RADIUS?
by Luke Loh 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Dear List I've been a SuSE user since 6.2. Recently, my boss presented me with a problem that has me completely stumped and I'm not sure what is the best way to go about things. Basically, we are in the early stages of setting up a simple ISP and we need: 1. An accounting system that will be able to track bandwidth usage (amount downloaded) by username / ip address. 2. Clients will be connecting to us via ethernet (they are in the same building), and later, wireless. 3. Clients need to authenticate against a server (can be RADIUS or some other) so that we can do proper accounting. I have tried: a. Setting up a RADIUS server (which seems to work) but all the example scripts I have from SuSE and the how-tos at linuxdoc.org all deal with setting RADIUS up with a modem server, but our clients will be connecting to us over ethernet. b. I'm not sure if RADIUS requires ppp to function (it seems to, but I might be wrong) and I am now stumped as to how to set up the radiusclient and pppd to dial-out using eth0 to request a static ip address and authenticate against RADIUS. I have how-tos that detail how to use radiusclient and pppd to dialout using a serial modem, but not eth0, and I have been unsuccessful in getting rp-pppoe to work with radiusclient. My questions: 1. Am I going about this the right way? Is there perhaps another accounting package that tracks bandwidth usage that is better than RADIUS for this particular scenario? I am happy with any solution that allows authentication and accounting. 2. Has anyone been successful in getting RADIUS to work with clients authenticating over an ethernet connection? Hoping that someone on this list will be able to lend me the benefit of their experience.

Re: [SLE] screenlock in KDE
by Eddie Howson 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Thanks very much. I much appreciate your response however, I am not using screensavers and therefore the password field is blank anyway. The solution needs to be such that it cannot be reset by the user. Our situation is that our machines (xterminals) are multi-user. If someone uses the KDE screenlock, others are not able to use the machine without rebooting it. We have setup xlock with a timeout function which we encourage our people to use, however (much to our annoyance) some people are still using the KDE "embedded" screenlock. Any help or advice would be most welcomed.

SAX2 & XFine
by Milnes Terry SSgt 52 LG/LGO 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

I am having problems using Xfree86 4.2.0 from the SuSE Supplementary ftp. When I ran sax2 I get an error. When I check the log file that it makes there is no error just some warnings. So I just use my old Xfree86 4.1.0 config file and it works fine. I just want to be able to use Xfine or Xfine2. When I try to use either I get an error of getsavedclock for Xfine and something different for Xfine2. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! NeoFax

Problems with Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000 & SuSE 7.3
by James Ogley 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Hi, I have a Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000, a USB device which uses the pwc.o module. I was previously using a SuSE7.1 box, to which I had subsequently added the cam, in that case, simply adding modprobe pwc to boot.local did the trick, the cam was accessible as /dev/video0 However, it doesn't seem to work with 7.3. Again, I have added the modprobe line to boot.local, and when it loads the module at boot, it says that it is registering the cam, but I can't access it at all. /dev/video* have the major number 81, and I've changed char-major-81 to pwc in modules.conf and run depmod -a I've tried using vgrabbj and camstream (which is produced by the author of the pwc module), vgrabbj gives the following output: (Tue 26 Feb 2002 13:41) ogley@jogley:pts/0 ~> vgrabbj Can't open "/dev/video0" as VideoDevice! Fatal Error (non-daemon), exiting... There was no map allocated to be freed... Device /dev/video0 was already closed... (Tue 26 Feb 2002 13:41) ogley@jogley:pts/0 ~> camstream is a GUI app, and when I try to add a cam to view, where previously I had a pull-down menu with the one cam I have listed, I now have an empty pull-down menu, which would seem to indicate that no Video4Linux devices are available. Also, I've had to use the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file to prevent the hotplug service from loading audio.o for the cam's microphone, as if this is loaded, I get no sound output from my onboard CS 4231 sound card. Has anyone else had these problems, and hopefully resolved them?
