APC UPS backup
by Richard 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

Trying to install a Backups Pro, it seems to be working except that it cannot connect through port 7000, returns message saying this port is already in use. How can I get around this? Can I just randomly assign port numbers until one works? Richard

Suse 8.2 Problems
by Praise 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, After having successfully installed Suse 8.2 in 4 computers, I have noticed the following problems. 1) On my laptop, the graphic board driver has some problem. This is my GA: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY After some minutes (or seconds) my screen looks like a zebra and it gets completely unusable. It worked well out of the box with suse 8.0 (3D too). I have got back to framebuffer, but I hope this is NOT the definitive solution. Any thought? 2) I have been installing Suse 8.2 booting from a CD-RW, as it was the secondary master and the MB did not boot from the other CD. Installation hung up after a while, but I have not understood clearly why, but I think it has something to do with having a CD-RW to boot from. I unplugged the CD-RW and installed everything, but this is not an ideal situation. I remember I got the same problem on another machine installing Suse 8.0. The configuration was the same (ie a secondary master cd-rw to boot from). I thought it was my cd-rw which did not read the cd correctly, but as this is happening again with a different PC and a different set of disk I am just curious. Is anybody able to replicate this problem? If I am correct, we should have a bug report. 3) My most powerful PC has two NICs. They are: 00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) 00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS) I configured the 8029 to be eth0, using the ne2k module, and the 8139 to be eth1, using the 8139too module. The error I get is: ... Jun 1 11:20:35 main kernel: 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.26 Jun 1 11:20:35 main kernel: PCI: Unable to reserve I/O region #1:100@dc00 for device 00:0c.0 Jun 1 11:20:35 main kernel: PCI: Unable to reserve I/O region #1:100@dc00 for device 00:0c.0 Jun 1 11:20:35 main kernel: Trying to free nonexistent resource <e3003000-e30030ff> Jun 1 11:20:35 main kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California Jun 1 11:20:35 main kernel: PPP generic driver version 2.4.2 Jun 1 11:20:35 main kernel: 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.26 Jun 1 11:20:35 main kernel: eth1: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xe0c4d000, 00:a0:a2:00:84:e9, IRQ 11 Jun 1 11:20:35 main kernel: eth1: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C' ... eth1 is not up, at boot time, I think it is because of this problem. dsl0 is not up too, because of that error. If I do "rcnetwork restart" everything gets up running. I hope this would be solved by 8139cp module, which I still have to try. I hope it is not a bigger bug:) Praise -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+2mDX6v3ZTabyE8kRAjPmAKDZ9Ih6v1UulH+Xudav/B5VXDrCyACgjnDd B5tG+FKHcN7hkIJKXoj1CaM= =L8ds -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I tried i think TWM on my login screen to see what that would do. Please help. Now I can't seem to get back to the FVM screen to choose KDE. Don't know how to exit this thing either. On reboot it goes right back to TWM. Thanks. Thom Nuzum (in DC)

Re: [SLE] 8.2 hangs at install
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Sounds like my problem. Just bought me a 52X drive and I have this problem. Before I start using my old cdrom 2X with its own bunch of minor problems, I would like to know if it is possible to lower the speed by using hwscan at the start of installation? The same question as with my badram. Is it possible to inform the cdrom at installation time about using a lower speed and to restrict the use of ram? I have only one memory chip and for the coming days no possibility to swap it with other chips. >Hello >I had exactly the same problem.

Xsane on 8.2
by Bruce Marshall 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Tried using Xsane on 8.2 today for the first time since installing (clean) 8.2. Upon scanning, it just kept repeating the scan over and over. I had to click on Cancel to get it to quit. I was not using the batch mode and a look at all the options didn't show me anything was amiss. Has anyone else experienced/solved this? -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Thanks, I did this, configure was happy, but it didn't compile. I guess kreatecd just doesn't go with qt3. I'll ask the kreatecd guys. Thanks H

Browsing DVD-R with Konq
by Rick Green 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

A friend passed me a DVD-R filled with their vacation pictures. It mounts easily in my DVD-ROM drive, but Konqueror does not display any files present. From a command line, cd and ls can browse the disk. xv will open the pictures. Xcdroast could see them, and allowed me to select subsets for copy to CD-R. On the subsequent CD-R's, Konq can browse and open files on all but one of the CD's. On this one (690MB full on a 700MB disk), it exhibits the same behaviour as on the DVD-R. System is SuSE 8.1. Any ideas why Konq appears to get confused with large iso or ubf filesystems? -- Rick Green "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin
