enabling swap space
by Greg Freemyer 06 May '03

06 May '03

During installation of 8.2, how do you enable swap space? Or do you have to do it later? === Why I ask I'm installing 8.2 for the first time on a new machine. I'm trying to roughly duplicate an existing 8.0 machine. During the initial 8.0 install I marked one of the partitions as "swap". However, if I now do a "swapon -s" on that old machine, it is not showing any assigned swap space. Nor do I see a swap entry in /etc/fstab. I'm concerned that I screwed up somehow.

X-CD-Roast is locking up my machine.
by Tom Nielsen 06 May '03

06 May '03

I used this product on 8.0 and started having problems when I got KDE 3.1. I've sense then upgraded to 8.2 and this happened.... I used it for the first time tonight to burn a couple CDs. Setup went fine and all the drives were found and associated perfectly. Everything went fine. I copied the songs from the CD to the drive, burned the CD and life was good. I then deleted the song via CD-Roast and dropped in a new CD to copy. I copied files from the CD to the drive. I dropped in a blank CD and started to burn. The burner spun up and down a couple times and then the lights on my keyboard started to blink and my maching froze. I had to use the bailout button and restart my machine. I then tried it 3 other times each time having to bailout. Anyone have any ideas? I had the same problem on 8.0 after I upgraded, but thought the new 8.2 would fix it. No luck.

GCC-3.3 in SuSE 8.2 --> kernel compilation crashes!?
by Alex Daniloff 06 May '03

06 May '03

Hello SuSE folkz, I've got an issue with plain kernel 2.4.20 compilation using gcc-3.3 (Pre-release) which came as default gcc with SuSE 8.2. I couldn't find solution to the problem when kernel compilation terminates with warnings. Is there any chance to downgrade or upgrade gcc-3.3 to more stable version without sacrifying SuSE 8.2 system integrity? Or could somebody please give me a hint what patch, option or other thing should be done to the plain vanilla kernel 2.4.20 in order to compile it correctly with existing gcc-3.3? How did SuSE developers compile their kernels, if even in the kernel news groups I've seen the same complains about compilation problems with gcc-3.3? Thank you in advance for any help. Alex

RE: [SLE] ATI Rage 128 video?
by Alleman, Lowell 06 May '03

06 May '03

I have a Rage 128 M4 (mobile) on my Laptop. It works ok in general. XV will scale wrong if I'm not running at the natural LCD size (1400x1050). I can only run 16bpp reliably (8bpp and 24bpp both cause weird system lockups). DRI stuff seem to work OK, but when I try to enable GLX and play some games I get frequent crashes. I think that the first two are due to the whole LCD thing, but I'm not sure. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M4 AGP Hope that helps.

gFTP: Poll
by James Ogley 06 May '03

06 May '03

I've noticed a lot of discussion about gFTP being b0rked in 8.2, now I've had no problem with it (apart from the missing GNOME Menu Entry), and given that 8.2 includes the latest version, I wasn't going to do a package until a new version was released. However, if people think they would find value in me doing a package of it, I'll do so, so let me know. Your choices are: A) Yes James, please do a package of gFTP B) No thanks, I'll stick with SuSE's Remember, if you don't vote, don't complain about the outcome - use your voice! :) -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james(a)rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter(a)myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2).

Newbie help... cloning a disc. [Serial again...]
by Adam Kimball 06 May '03

06 May '03

Hi all, Well, I did find a good resource for people with Seagate SATA drives and Nvidia chipsets, check out: http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15875&sid=9231c20499b81d 2c81946df2fe60dd54 Just a couple of quick fixes to get out of PIO mode and move a _bit_ more quickly. Since this machine is intended for work, and I've already spent the same boring hours doing ClearCase, Oracle, JBoss, etc.. I need real speed now. I'll wait for better drivers. Today, I'll have a new Seagate Barracuda IDE drive and what I want to do is clone it. My guess is that there must be some way to boot into rescue mode, and make an absolute sector copy of one drive to another. That is, to clone my serial drive to the ide drive. I really, really, don't want to have to reinstall everything again (as many of you will surely feel for). Again, is there some relatively simple way for me to clone the serial drive to an ide drive? I can't use any low-level dos stuff since I don't have an acpi driver for the onboard sata, but since suse recognizes it, there must be a way. If so, could someone please take the time to spell it out. I get around Linux fine, but when it comes to the guts, I'm a dentist. Thanks in advance (please!) -Adam

ldconfig in rpm
by Richard Bos 06 May '03

06 May '03

short question about what to put in an rpm (or not); Should ldconfig be put in a (suse) rpm or not (as SuSEconfig will take care of it). I found an rpm macro %run_ldconfig as well, what does the macro do (what does it different compared to ldconfig? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
