9.1 unuseably slow
by David Bottrill 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

We received a copy of 9.1 today at work and I have installed this on three machines with dissapointing results. The first machine was an IBM Thinkpad R40 with a Centino 1600 CPU. This machine worked fine and the performance was great. The second and third machines were unusable, KDE takes serveral minutes to start, attempting to start YAST for instance will take about a minute for the SU box to appear and then another minute for YAST to load. I get similar results for all applications I have tried, in all instances the system performs like a P100 with very little RAM. The machines that run slowly are both Athlon XP based machines, one being an Athlon XP 2400 with 1GB of DDR RAM on an ECS Elite motherboard. The second machine is an XP2000 with 512MB of PC3200 RAM on a PCChips motherboard. I have applied all the updates with no effect. Any ideas would be appreciated, I've had to switch back to 9.0 as the whole 9.1 experience is unuseable has anybody got any ideas?

DVD playback...
by Matthew 14 May '04

14 May '04

Good day, Yes there are legal reasons why SuSE cannot have DVD playback of those pesky movies, but what be done? Would it be too expensive for Novell/SuSE to license a codec? Seems like there is a new copyright law in Germany that has made PackMan be more cautious. No one has made a player for Linux that is 100% legal, is it due to expense? Matt

Works smooth as silk if I stop Setiathome, but remains unusuable if seti or anything cpu intensive is running. This in itself isn't so bad, except that I didn't have this problem under 8.1 and 8.0, where I had seti runing with nice=1 all the time and OOo was working smoothly. Just trying to understand this Thanks Hans

Hi Folks, I can't seem to get any of the Screen Savers to start in Gnome, though they are all working in KDE... or are they only for KDE? They are in the Gnome menu:system Screen Savers. Thanks (i know they aren't so important)

No route.
by Erik Jakobsen 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

Hi. I use a socalled Clarkconnect server based oh RH9.0. I very often have used the ssh command the a local machine running SuSE 8.2. If I enter ssh 192.168.1.xxx, I receive this: "ssh: connect to 192.168.1.xxx port 22: No route to host." What does this indicate, and what possible services are maybe not running ?. It came suddenly and so far I'll say, that I haven't touched anything, that could have done it. Advices are more than welcome. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards. Erik Jakobsen - eja(a)urbakken.dk.

5-button USB wheel mouse configuration for double click, SuSE 8.2
by expatriate 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

Hello Two hours of Google and Linux websites and I can't find the answer. My wife has RSI and would like to use one of the buttons on her mouse for doubleclick. Here is how her XF86Config looks: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection After running xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 6 7 4 5" ! note left-hand mouse Everything works OK except that the side buttons behave as buttons 1 and 2 (as reported by xev). Just like a three-button wheel mouse. Can the side buttons be differentiated? Is it possible to assign a doubleclick to one of them? Is it possible to assign a drag lock to the other one? TIA & cheers P.S. Kensington Optical Elite mouse.

But now I am getting lots of martian messages sort of: martian source xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx from 127.0.0.1, on dev ppp0, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my public IP, the IP address in the interface ppp0. I got an ADSL/Ethernet modem in ppp0 with the public fixed IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx connected to my host by means of eth0 0.0.0.1/255.255.255.0 Also I have another ethernet interface eth1 192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0 to connect to my internal home network. Here is my routing tables: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.254.254 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 ppp0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.254.254 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 ppp0 Anyone can tell me what sort of illegal trafic is catching my kernel?

KDE-kiosk.
by Prabu Subroto 23 Oct '03

23 Oct '03

Hi everybody.... I am using KDE 3.0.x not yet 3.1 and SuSE Linux 8.1 . I have written a web enabling database application with PHP4. The users use the application with internet browser mozilla. My boss said that his sellers may only use the internet browser for the database application. So how can I lock everything in KDE 3.0.x ? I want after the user login, the mozilla will be automatically launched. I also want if they close the mozilla than the user will be automatically kicked out (log out). Is it possible with KDE 3.0.x? Do I have to upgrade 3.1 ? Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
