Hello everybody! I have problem with clock in SuSE Linux Professional 8.0 installed on Hewlett-Packard tc4100, 2 * Pentium III 1.4GHz, 512 RAM, 2* SCSI 18 Gb. So sometimes clock stops! I enter command ▒date▓ : PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:24:01 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:23:59 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:23:59 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:23:59 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:24:00 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:24:01 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:23:59 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date -s 09:40 Sun Jun 1 09:40:00 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:40:00 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:40:01 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:40:02 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:40:02 MSD 2003 PO:/home/bloom # date Sun Jun 1 09:40:01 MSD 2003 System becomes slow and freeze.

Smart Microsoft researchers (or fired researchers)
by Jon hoffman 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

I am suprised noe has sent anything to the list about this one. It is from slashdot.org and links to a NYTIMES article (that you have to register before you can read it, which I hate doing but it was worth it for this one). The key is to remember that they are microsoft researchers :O) You can find the full article at http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/02/technology/02SUPE.html securitas writes "The NY Times reports that a pair of Microsoft researchers are challenging the federal policy on funding supercomputers. Gordon Bell and Jim Gray argue that the money would be better spent on massive storage instead of ultra-fast computers because they believe today's supercomputing centers will be tomorrow's superdata centers. They advocate building cheap Linux-based Beowulf clusters (PCs in parallel) instead of supercomputers." NYTimes free reg blah blah.

What type of CD are you trying to mount? Can the drive mount any CD's or does it only bomb out on this one?

domxml_xslt_stylesheet() missing
by Geoff Horn 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

Does anyone know why the PHP function domxml_xslt_stylesheet() is not found under SuSE 8.2 Pro? phpinfo shows that xml and xslt are enabled but where are the functions located - nothing viewable in YaST installer. I'm trying to run I know very little about PHP and I'm trying to run Komplete Lite because the midgard package from 8.2 won't run either. Otherwise PHP runs other packages OK. Geoff

RE: java plugins issue?
by Martin 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

I came across a web page at smartmoney.com where clicking on the the link I've got message about missing plugins. Playing around a bit and installing j2re1.4.1_03 plugins I got the url to display the form content but using mozilla form pull down menu didn't work. Netscape 7.02 was better, menu worked but I still couldn't see anything I typed in to the form. Am I missing something or it's just lousy plugins & browser combination? Konqueror was not any better. I tried my teamate MS IE and everything was perfect - what a shame :(. Martin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

cat of proc/asound/seq/clients is not happening?

la /proc/asound/seq/ total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2003-06-05 23:53 . dr-xr-xr-x 6 root root 0 2003-06-05 23:53 .. -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2003-06-05 23:53 clients -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2003-06-05 23:53 drivers -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2003-06-05 23:53 oss -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2003-06-05 23:53 queues -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2003-06-05 23:53 timer Note that all file size = 0. I had recently installed the latest alsa stuff, all of it. I followed the readme and used checkinstall. I noticed that I had problems initially because there's a script in the alsa-driver to install the sound device -- ./snd-devices. Once I did this a query of my packages showed the latest was installed (previous queries showed the SuSE default cvs packages). I am having a hell of a time getting some programs to find the sound cards or they report there's no sound device. With the audio/midi players and progs this is not a problem per se - they generate sound (and most others - like games, etc). However, dvd players, read xine, won't use the sound. I have all the libs installed (at least I think so) and liba52 (ac3) is in and recognizes. So, how do I get the /proc/asound stuff to register correctly again. I understand them to be symlinks to /dev/snd stuff? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Curtis.
