Fixing undefined reference to atexit
by Max Bane 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

I use SuSE 7.1 and seem to have the atexit bug, where many programs fail to link during compilation because of an undefined reference to atexit, despite the fact that nm clearly shows atexit is defined in libc.so.6. I've read that this is due to a combination of certain versions of glibc and gcc. I have also found several solutions to this that involve patches to the gcc/glibc source code. These are, of course, useless to someone on an RPM system like SuSE. What is the best way to fix this with SuSE? My system installed (from the cd's) with glibc 2.2.4, but I notice that SuSE's ftp distribution has glibc 2.2. Does this mean I should downgrade my version of glibc? Any help would be appreciated. -- Max Bane Endless Loop: n., see Loop, Endless. Loop, Endless: n., see Endless Loop. -- Random Shack Data Processing Dictionary

SuSEFirewall2 and Port 113
by SMD Alachouzos 09 Feb '02

By default, port 113 -- which is required for ident/authentication purposes by some servers -- is merely closed, rather than fully stealthed, by SuSEFirewall2. Anyone know how to stealth it? Michael Alachouzos

Recompile kernel with no 4GB support
by Pep Serrano 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

Hello list, I was trying to recompile the stardard kernel source that comes with 7.3 (aka 2.4.10). When I try to switch off the kernel support for 4GB (that I do not need in a 128Mb laptop) I am no longer able to boot this kernel. The system hangs at boot time with a kernel panic message: unable to mount fs. By the way I use Reiserfs in my root partition and I do create init images with mk_initrd for loading this module at boot time. It works fine... until I switch off 4GB support. Does it concern the file system? Why it isn't able to mount the fs without 4GB support? Is this something weird or I do miss something important?

If I try to run amixer, I get Mixer attach default error: sount protocol is not compatible. Does anyone know what this means and how to correct it? Art
