Firewire VIDEO
by Tom Emerson 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

Along the lines of the "firewire drive" thread, I have a question on how to get a video device working... setup: system: SuSE 8.1; kernel 2.4.19; relatively stock [one mod to usb module so far...] 466mhz celeron; soundblaster "audigy" card for the firewire port [though I also have a standalone firewire card available -- pyro brand card] ASUS motherboard camera: sony TRV-3011 following some advice dredged up on this thread, I tried modprobing the following drivers: ieee1394 ohci1394 raw1394 [then I stopped and thought about things; checked the /lib/modules... hierarchy, and found: video1394 plugged in the device, got the following at the end of /var/log/messages: kernel: ohci1394: $Rev: 530 $ Ben Collins kernel: PCI: found IRQ 11 for device 00:0d.2 kernel: ohci1394_0: OHCI-1394 1.1 (PCI): IRQ=[11] MMIO=[cc000000-cc000800] Max Packet=[2048] kernel: ieee1394: Host added: Node[00:1023] GUID[00023c0021006ee9] [Linux OHCI-1394] kernel: raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized kernel: video1394: Installed video1394 module kernel: ieee1394: Device added: Node[00:1023] GUID[0800460102328737] [Sony] kernel: ieee1394: Node 00:1023 changed to 01:1023 /etc/hotplug/ieee1394.agent[1233]: ... no drivers for IEEE1394 product 0x080046/0x00a02d/0x010001 [reformatted for readability] Is there then a sony-specific driver I need to be looking for? [does it exist?] {is sony "linux friendly"?} <sony consumer electronics division, that is...>

adding a mysql user
by eric.linux＠t-online.de 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

Greetings! I'm using Suse 8.1. While installing MySQL I created a user called mysql. The problem is now a /home/mysql entry exists and mysql has the ability to login. Can I just use /bin/false as the home directory for this type of user? Thanks, Eric

re CD-R(W) not accessible with SuSe 7.3)
by Richard Gelling 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

Hi, I dont know if this is relevant and probably isn't much help, but I had a similar set up and although Xcdroast and K3B all worked fine I have never got KonCD to recognise my CDRW or write a disc and I have tried on 7.3,8.0 and 8.1. So it might be an idea to try these other recording programs.I hace found Xcdroast very good.

SuSE next release?
by Matthew Johnson 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

All I wish to say on this matter is to please wait, who cares when RedHat or perhaps Mandrake release their next versions, let them release buggy pieces of no good rubbish, but let SuSE fix installation issues and other serious outstanding bugs before it hits the shelves :). Lets please wait until after the release of KDE 3.1. This is my New Years resolution, I want 2003 to be the year Linux breaks new ground, not just break... -- Matthew Johnson <matthew(a)psychohorse.com>

Conntrack IRC and Nat IRC modules
by Z_God 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

Hello I'm wondering why SuSEFirewall2 doesn't load the IRC Conntrack and Nat modules on my SuSE 8.1 installation. It does load the FTP modules. Are there any security issues or any other problems with the modules or something? Thanks in advance.

Is Panasonic LC5 supported?
by Mike 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

Does anyone here know if the Panasonic LC5 digital camera will work with linux? I've asked on a digital photo site (www.dpreview.com) asked panasonic and searched google. Panasonic said it won't but can be used fas USB storage. The LC20 is on a supported list as a USB mass storage device but not the newer models. thanks Does anyone here know if the Panasonic LC5 digital camera will work with linux?

More fun with Nvidia and k_athlon.
by Curtis Rey 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

Ok, more on the recent and never ending cludges with the nvidia kernel mods, drivers, Xserver, and Xconfigs. I updated my k_athlon kernel with the patch from the SuSe update dir (8.1) from x-66 ver to x-197 (or something along that line - you guys get the point). Now, as is often the case one must reinstall the nvidia packages after doing this, since certain aspect of the changes involved make the Nvidia mods unhappy/confused. I have had an extremely difficult time with 8.1 involving X, vid drivers, etc... Sax fails, I get a black screen, and when doing an lsmod I find the the formerly loaded modules agpgart and nvidia (formerly NVdriver in previous driver versions) is not being loaded. I have run ldconfig, SuSeconfig, etc... etc... I have tried install from both the *.rpm, *.src.rpm rebuilds and the tars, each time trying various methods suggested by both SuSE and Nvidia regarding their installation. Such things per NVidia like rpm -Uhv for the kernel mods, then rpm -e for the GLX mod followed by rpm -ihv for the GLX drivers. I have done a depmod -a at various stages, and basically everything I can think of to make this work (included a mk_initrd at various stages of my repeated attempts). I suspect this may be a problem with the binary nvidia drivers being made for the kernel install prior to the update patch. I have thought of getting the full rpm (rather than the patch) off the ftp site for the k_athlon kernel (which of course is larger). I wonder if anyone else has had similar problem, if so might you share your experiences/insights with any success or failures. TIA, Curtis.

can't mount nfs
by fsanta 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

I want to do this on the the server, 192.168.2.1: mount 192.168.2.2:/usr/local /mnt but I get this: mount: RPC: Program not registered does /usr/local have to be in /etc/exports on every client? It works fine via yast2 but it seems a long way around just to get a few files from a client. Cheers, Steve.
