MIDI question
by Dominique Michel 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

My MIDI sound is not working with my i815 soundchip and SuSe 8.0. I have downloaded the upgrade and configurated it with alsaconf, but it's not working more, the driver is the correct one, the snd-intel18x0.o. Only the PCM sound is OK, timidity is working fine. With Mozilla, it's strange: if the link is a direct link to a MIDI file, it's working, but if the MIDI file is linked with an embed tag in the code of the page, all i get is a little comment at the bottom "running helper..." and no sound at all. If i try with configuration, son, MIDI in the kdm menu, i get at i have no MIDI port. In the config menu, sound, mixing console is not working at all. Kmidi is working but i can see the leds taht go up and down, but i hear nothing. With kmid, it's worse, i get only a crash with signal 11 from it or kdm. The sound part of the module.conf is as follow: # Aliases for OSS # alias sound off # alias midi off # OSS/Free setup alias sound-services-0-0 snd-mixer-oss # uniq.virtual:Sound card # # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0666 options snd-intel8x0 snd_index=0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- Can somebody help me with to fix this problem? I'm sure at it must be a possibility to have the seuquencer working. I have proved with timidity as server, but i don't now how i must configure the MIDI ports to have them to work, all i get is a message like what timidity was working and att it was 2 Midi ports, but back in configuration, sound, midi, nothing is here.. Thanks Dominique Michel

Shell Scripting question
by Greg Freemyer 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Guys, I'm trying to write a shell script to submit to the xfs team as an additional regression test. To fit into there test framework, it has to produce identical out put every time it is run. Unfortunately, I am getting some shell notification messages that are causing me problems. i.e. # sleep 60 & [1] 6728 # kill $! # (wait a couple of seconds then hit a return with no input) [1]+ Terminated sleep 60 # It is the 2 shell notification messages above that are giving me problems. Does anyone know a way to capture them, or turn of this type of notification?

by Jorge de la Vega 27 Aug '02

The system starts with an xconsole giving system information every other time I boot. Is this normal? I would expect to start with the log window every time.

Another Procmail issue
by Thomas Nyman 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Hi Again Susers! I run jhardins Sanitizer on my mailserver, and as far as I can tell it works nicely. I've tried reading the man pages for procmail and a few other items but I'm still unsure about one issue. Postfix uses procmail for delivery and in /etc I have the relevant files for the system, however what about locally for each user..if I create a procmailrc file in $home/user will that file run instead of the procmailrc file in /etc ?, or will it run after the /etc/procmailrc file? I would like hardins sanitizer to execute and after that for individual users to be able to add their on filtering rules or whatever? Anyway, which order are the procmailrc files executed, which takes precedence? Thomas

re[2]: [SLE] reiserfs vs xfs vs jfs
by Greg Freemyer 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

>> AFAIK xfs is not part of standard kernel. It is in the -aa kernel, and has been for a while. Most distributions already have it added in, but Redhat is pretty adamantly against it because they are not convinced that it has stabilized and they don't want to stuck supporting multiple incompatible rev. levels. The xfs team thinks that the incompatible change they made with the 2.4.18 kernel will be the last one, but that assumes the main kernel developers don't force them to change something. (They did with 2.4.18, so the xfs team could do nothing about it.) Also, if it gets officially into the 2.5 kernel, that should nail down any remaining API instabilities and encourage Redhat to add it their kernel. The xfs team is trying hard to get it into the 2.5 kernel (i.e. unstable by definition) before the 2.5 feature freeze at the end of Oct. If they make it, they should be part of the official 2.6 kernel (i.e. stable) that is likely to come out in the spring.

SLES7 (Suse 7.2) and runlevel
by Dmitry Melekhov 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Hello! I have "strange" ;-) (for me) problem. I have several self written scripts in /etc/rc.d I linked them with ln to appropriate runlevel as I usually do on RH ( I don't like chkconfig). But I found that yast2 renames my link names from S20... to S00 or S01... How can I tell to yast to not do this? Thank you!

Cannot activate Java plugin with Mozilla v1.0
by Simon Heaton 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Hi Folks, I have a problem with my SuSE v8.0 install complete with Mozilla v1.0 and Java v1.4.0_01-b03 in that any attempt to access a page which requires Java support causes Mozilla to fail. I have trapped the following error message: INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2 < System error?:: No such file or directory Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server localhost:0.0. INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from browser System error?:: No such file or directory I have tried Java plugins from different JREs (v1.4 and 1.3 releases) but always with the same problem. Of course Netscape v4.79 works without problem! Does anyone have any ideas as to the possible cause? Kind regards, Simon
