Serial ATA drives, controllers
by Adam Kimball 04 May '03

04 May '03

Hi all, I am using an Asus A7N8X deluxe mobo with a serial Barracuda drive attached to the onboard Silicon Image controller. Well, it works. But in PIO mode. My new 1GB, Barton 3000 now runs like a PIII 600Mghz. Great. If anyone has figured out how to get this drive cruising, please let me know. Otherwise... Maybe I'll buy another controller. Does anyone have experience with the Promise, Hight Point, etc - controllers? Two drives isn't going to cut it for me, so buying another controller isn't a huge deal. If anyone can recommend a controller that I can drop into 8.2 and get ata100 speeds, please let me know - because this sucks. Thanks, Adam

[SLE] Weird cdrom mount error
by VB 03 May '03

03 May '03

Hi, I'm getting a weird error when I attempt to mount my cd drive. I am able to "mount /dev/cdrom' successfully once, but then I get the following errors any subsequent mount attempts: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems /dev/cdrom is "pointing" to the proper /dev/hdc. I'm confused why I can mount and properly view the cd's contents once, but not more than that?? Any ideas? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.

ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0)
by Rikard Johnels 03 May '03

03 May '03

Hello all! I run a 2.4.19-SMP "home brewed" kernel on 8.1. My GRUB menu.lst states: title linux kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hde3 hdc=ide-scsi vga=788 initrd (hd0,0)/initrd But i cant seem to get the IDE CD-RW to work. i get all these ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 64 ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 66 ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 68 ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 70 ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 72 ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 74 ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 76 ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 78 cdrom: open failed. I *think* i have the right mudules installed, atleast a lsmod gives me: ide-scsi 8912 0 I have VmWare installed, but even without it running it fails. Any clues? As it is now, i still run a Windows2000 box just to be able to burn CD's. I would like to retire that beast (or turn it into something more useful) -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rjhn(a)linux.nu Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 70 464 99 39 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

Re: [SLE] error in sendmail standard config?

Thus, you could increase those delays, as long as total delay is >below 30". Maybe 4" and 3" (RETRANS/RETRY) would be safer :-? The question is, how long one try is during. If it is - and that's what I assume - 10 seconds, then a RETRY of 3 is already too much to stay below 30s. I don't know, if the 10s are right, but if I do a manual nslookup to a 'dead' RBL-server, it waits for about 10s until I get a "No response from server". >I used to call sendmail with -v parameter from my ip-up script; that >might be enough.

Thanks for the hint! The setup of syslog was no problem so far. But I cannot verify, if the "-v" parameter was passed to sendmail. In "/etc/sysconfig/sendmail" I added a "-v" to the ARGS variable SENDMAIL_ARGS="-v -L sendmail -Am -bd -q30m -om" and restartet sendmail; but this didn't work. I also tried to add "-v" directly to "/etc/init.d/sendmail" with if test -z "$SENDMAIL_ARGS" ; then SENDMAIL_ARGS="-v -L sendmail -Am -bd -q30m -om" but this didn't help either. I still have the same messages in "/var/log/mail.debug" as I had (before changeing syslog.conf) in "/var/log/mail". I also tried "-d", "-d8.1", "-d99.100 -d8.1" but nothing special showed up in "/var/log/mail.debug". Only with the "-d" parameter some debug-output appeared on the console when starting sendmail with "rcsendmail start". I also tried "-X /var/log/mail.traffic" which gave me exactly what I am looking for! But unfotunately without any timestamp. So I'm still unable to verify the time-behaveiour of sendmail during name lookups... What did I wrong? Thanks, Patrick

device mounting question
by Dennis Tuchler 03 May '03

03 May '03

I have an IDE Seagate Travan Tape drive (4G/8G). How do I mount it (e.g., what file system should I enter)? I suppose it would be a good idea to put an entry for it in my fstab. I did a quick hardware check using YAST2 and discovered that the device is hdd. Of course, this may not mean much since the hardware specs include my CDROM driver as hdc, while it is entered on fstab as /dev/cdrom. Thanks for your help -- Dennis Tuchler <dtuchler(a)earthlink.net>

When I get an email from someone and I reply to it, my signature ends up at the very bottom of the email. Is that typical protocol? I would like it to be under my email and not the entire thread. Does anyone know how to do this? Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

USB webcam
by Ernesto Marquina 03 May '03

03 May '03

Hello there, I'm trying to setup my USB webcam (Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000) under SuSE 8.2, with no success, the weird thing is that when I used to have SuSE 8.0, the same webcam was working perfectly with gnomemeeting (and I didn't have to cnofigure anything). Now with 8.2, it doesn't seem to work. When I try to use it under gnomemeeting I get the following error: Error while opening device /dev/video0, channel 0. A test image will be transmitted. Your driver doesn't support YUV420 format Then I went to SuSE knowledge base and there is a how-to to setup some specific webcams (specific chipset), I also tried that, and when I want to test it with motv I get this error: This is xawtv-3.85, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.20-4GB) /dev/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=7): Invalid argument v4l: timeout (got SIGALRM), hardware/driver problems? ioctl: VIDIOCSYNC(int=0): Interrupted system call ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=5): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=4): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=1): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=13): Invalid argument no way to get: 384x288 32 bit TrueColor (LE: bgr-) Does any knows what exactly is going on or how to configure a webcam under SuSE?, it was working on version 8.0! Thanks in advance Ernesto

RE: pls help with script
by Martin 03 May '03

03 May '03

I'm trying to understand how does this part of apmd_proxy script work. It seems there is some issue executing '$XLOCK' which is actually /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock but I don't know why. When I added 'echo' line there, it got executed with no problem as I can see date in filexxx. Thx, Martin if [ "$APMD_LOCK_X_ON_SUSPEND" = "yes" -a -n "$XUSER" ] ; then if command_available $XLOCK ; then echo "`date` locked" >> /tmp/filexxx su $XUSER -c "$XLOCK -display $DISPLAY" &>/dev/null </dev/null & fi fi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
