Swapping motherboards...
by Christopher Reimer 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

Greetings! My file server has a K6-2 motherboard that I'm going to replace with an Athlon motherboard. I have the system drive connected to the motherboard IDE controller, and two drives in a software RAID-1 configuration connected to a IDE controller card. I'm using SuSE 9.1 with the default kernal. In the past, I have swapped motherboards of similar types (e.g., Socket 7) without complications. Are there any special issues when swapping motherboards of different types? Thanks!

9.1 Personal: 3Dfx Banshee X driver has bad signature...
by Christopher Reimer 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

I'm not sure if this has been reported or not since I couldn't find anything through Google or on the Suse website. It's possible that my Suse 9.1 Personal disc had a dirty spot for just one file. After switching out the motherboard, I decided to use an old 3Dfx Banshee 16MB card for my file server. The X driver file, XFree86-Mesa-4.3.99.902-40.i586.rpm, refused to install using YAST and SAX2 would bail out after starting up. When I tried to install from command line, the rpm reported that the file had a bad signature. I downloaded the file from the ftp server and it installed correctly without any additional problems. Thanks! Christopher Reimer

SIIG SC-PE4B12 booting and other drives
by Synthetic Cartoonz 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

I have a new (well, partially used) SIIG SC-PE4B12 ATA/133 PCI card. When the card is not plugged into the system it, of course, boots correctly with these existing devices/partitions reported in /var/boot.msg: <4>hda: SAMSUNG SV4012H, ATA DISK drive <4>hdb: Maxtor 6Y080P0, ATA DISK drive <4>ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 <4>hdc: HL-DT-ST GCE-8320B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive <4>ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 <4>hda: max request size: 128KiB <6>hda: 78242976 sectors (40060 MB) w/1824KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) <6> hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 hda12 > <4>hdb: max request size: 128KiB <6>hdb: 160086528 sectors (81964 MB) w/7936KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(133) <6> hdb: hdb1 I can't produce a log of the drives when the system boots with the SIIG card installed, because the system never gets past this point above. The reason is that the presence of the card appears to have shifted all the drives around, so the system never gets past looking for the drives/partitions to mount. hda is now the first drive hooked up to the SIIG board. hdb, hdc, hdd are nowhere to be found and I'll bet money that the SIIG board reserved those IDs for all its possible drives per interfaces, because hde is the drive formerly known as hda -- the boot drive hdf is the drive that was hdb and hdg is the CD-ROM, hdc The system obviously finds the boot drive and its partitions (at least the boot partition), because linux is starting to boot. But, when it goes hunting for the remaining partitions on the drive it boots from, it's still looking for /hda6 instead of /hde6. Are partition names stored explicitly? (How do people hot swap drives?) The board and some other hard drives are going to be used in another system as non-booting data drives. I don't have that system built yet, but I wanted to test out the SIIG card and setup the partitioning for the drives. Is there a way to make the SIIG board play nice and make its drives line up last as e, f, g, h instead of a, b, c, d ? Is there a way to convince linux that the boot drive relocated to hde is really hda? Thanks, Ken Jennings

Network adapter drivers
by Glenn Williams 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hello: I am back again after many months absence. I still have a copy of SuSE version 9.1 on my laptop. It is pretty useless right now, but let me explain. I have never been able to find a driver for the D-Link DWL-650+ PCMCIA wireless network adapter card in my laptop. (Actually that is not entirely true. I did purchase a wireless network adapter driver that uses a Windows wrapper to install it. But I was never able to get to work. Or maybe it was the other way around - a Windows driver in a Linux wrapper.) As I see it, there are two major hurdles that stand in the way of my using Linux on the laptop. One is the lack of a wireless network adapter card driver, and the other is a good voice recognition program for Linux. If any of you have knowledge of breakthroughs in either of these areas, I would greatly appreciate hearing the details. Regards, Glenn

Radeon 9600XT Revisited
by Mark Annandale 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

oops, sorry should have added this to my last message..... It would also appear that ATI do not have any support for X-Org stuff and only XFree. Is this the case? My reason for asking is that I would like to try out a few games supplied with 9.2 and at the moment the graphics are incredibly slow and I get an error message about "No 3D graphics card found2. As far as I am aware the Radeon 9600Xt is capable of 3D. Thanks again. Mark

Maybe I could have saved the $29.95, but I've got to say that EXTFS Anywhere 3.0, so far, looks pretty darn good for the money. I have, on my Windows machine -- * Successfully mounted the EXT2 partition on my USB drive on my Windows machine (very simple -- go to the MOUNT option (straight off of the START menu selection), select the partition you want to mount, and hit enter. * Copied a new file to the partition, moved the drive over to my Linux machine, mounted it and accessed the file. * Copied a 6G file from the partition onto a different Windows NTFS partition. * Renamed files on the partition (from Windows, it looks just like any other hard drive, so, as usual (say using Samba), you see directories as folders. The installation is as basic as you can get. You download the file, unzip it, which gives you a single EXE Windows installer file, and execute that EXE. Once installed, you simply select EXTFS Anywhere from you START menu and it launches the application. To mount, you simply highlight the Linux partition and either accept the drive letter it suggests for mounting it to or choose a different one. To unmount (this one is sort of obscure), you select mount (seems like they should have a separate unmount menu selection) and tell it to not assign a drive letter (which, in effect, causes an "unmount"). Maybe there are glitches that I have yet to encounter. I haven't tried writing a large file to it, so I can't say what would happen if I tried that (I don't personally need to be able to do that, at least not at present). Maybe there are other problems I just haven't hit yet. But, so far, it's looking pretty darn good for $29.95. Greg W.

sles9 ps issue -threads/children show no usage.
by Rod Rioux 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Since this list was so helpful last time, Thanks to everyone that replied. I seem to be having another issue, it seems when I run a multithreaded app the when you look at it with ps it doesn't report the cpu usage for any of the threads. The parent process ramps up at startup, but goes to 0 while running, and when you stop the process the parent ramps up, while all of the children stay at 0. These are our load tests so they should be showing some sort of information, considering that they really hammer the box. Has anyone seen anything like this before ? Any help would be great .. /rod

Speed comparison - SuSE 9.2 compared to Fedora Core 3
by Steve Kratz 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

I was playing around with my old "test" laptop this weekend (Celeron 366, 256mb RAM, 20 gig HD) and decided to try Fedora Core 3 out to see what it was like. Now, I'm completely convinced that I want to use SuSE over FC3, but one thing I noticed with Fedora is there's a dramatic speed increase - everything feels more responsive. Both FC3 and SuSE 9.2 were running latest updates available, acpi=off, apm=on, FC3 had pretty much everything on for services while SuSE had most of the "extra" stuff off (ISDN, hardware probing, postfix, etc...) Anyone ever looked into performance tuning on 9.1/9.2 for a machine with decent RAM specs, decent HD space, but lacking in the CPU department? TIA Steve

nfs "permission denied"
by Tim Hanson 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

After installing 9.2 on both a server and a client, I started nfs on the server without problems, but attempting to start it on the client turned up a "permission denied" message. The last time I used nfs, if memory serves, was on 9.0, and the same /etc/exports file and entries into /etc/fstab on the client were successful. /etc/exports was a simple: * /home (rw,no_root_squash) * /var (rw,no_root_squash) /etc/fstab on the client side: suseutil:/var /var/suseutil.var nfs defaults 0 0 suseutil:/home /home/suseutil.home nfs defaults 0 0 As I said, these entries have worked with past SuSE versions. My conclusion is that SuSE has tightened something. Does anyone know what it is or where I should start looking?

Kuickshow not in 9.2
by dries 26 Nov '04

Hello All, Kuickshow is missing from 9.2 instead a util called 'gwenview' which is (in my case) unusable, it freezes the system completely. Is there an alternative (good simple and fast) picture viewer (i now use xzgv, but i cant get it to work on directories by clicking on a jpg in konqueror, it will only show this one jpg).

Disable .local multicast DNS resolution?
by Sean 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hi, Just tried installing Novell Linux Desktop 9 and found after several hours that there is "special" handling of .local top level domains. The system decides to use multicast instead of standard DNS resolution. The release notes say to stop using .local but there's just no way we'll be able to do that any time soon. Has a configuration option to disable this behavior been added since the release? Thanks, Sean

TV cards and 9.2
by David Bottrill 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

I have two TV cards that I have user in the past with SuSE on in an old IXMicro card the other is a PixelView card. The last version of SuSE O had these working with was 9.0 since then neither card has worked. To prove a point I downgraded my test machine (removeable discs) from 9.2 to 9.1 and neither card would work. I then went back to 9.0 and at least the IXMicro card works, I didn't try the other. 9.0 was the last SuSE distro to use the 2.4.x kernel so my questions are: 1) What has broken, does anyone have any clues? 2) Alternatively what TV cards will work with 9.2? I'm in the UK and so use the PAL-I TV standard. The symptoms are the bttv module loads, kdetv or other TV programs see "snow" but scanning for channels fails to find any signals. I have let YAST autodetect the cards and I have manually configured the cards including specifying the tuner module to no avail. I'm getting the following errors in the log: bttv0: SCERR @36531000,bits: HSYNC OFLOW FBUS SCERR* bttv0: timeout: drop=54 irq=55138/61043, risc=2264104c, bits: HSYNC OFLOW FDSR Whilst kdetv is running and with some logging enabled for the BTTV driver I get something like this repeated over and over although this may just be ongoing logging of normal operation: bttv0: risc packed : line 0 ptr eb7840010 (repeated through to) bttbv0 risc packed: line 157 ptr eb7845f8 bttv0: risc packed: 64 sglist elems bttv0: loop=0 fc=4955 riscs=1, riscc=366fa01c, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC bttv0: loop=0 fc=4956 riscs=1, riscc=32d22024, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC bttv0: loop=0 fc=4957 riscs=1, riscc=3b2c05a4, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC 7 FDSR bttv0: loop=0 fc=4958 riscs=1, riscc=366f103c, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC FBUS bttv0: loop=0 fc=4959 riscs=1, riscc=32d2301c, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC bttv0: loop=0 fc=4960 riscs=4, riscc=2b7bf01c, bits: HSYNC 7 RISCI* FDSR bttv0/vbi: buf prepare c19ca6e0: top=c19c1784 bottom=c19ca791 field=seq-tb tbbv0/vbi: queue c19ca6e0 Thanks in advance for any advise guys. -- David Bottrill david(a)bottrill.org www.bottrill.org Registered Linux user number 330730 Internet SIP Phone: 1-747-244-2699

YOU question
by B. Stia 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hello SuSE people, Just installed 9.2 on my brand new AMD 64 system. Installed like a dream come true. (no dual layer DVD problems) Then restored all of my old 8.2 /home and /data stuff without any serious (but sometimes problematic issues) with Kdar. This system FLIES !!! Open Office and The Gimp open in less than 10 seconds. Konqueror, Kmail, & Firefox open almost immediately. I am a very happy 9.2 user! Now, for the question - Figured I would do the YOU update. (Never did one before since SuSE 6.or 7. or whenever it was available) Always used Apt. (and will again for package updates) (The 9.1 64 bit of Apt won't install - yet ) Connected to the server and there was a huge list of update patches. (Many megabytes) Some are red, some are blue, and some are black. All have checkmarks next to them to be updated? Question is, what am I looking at? Do they all need to be updated ? (excluding, of course packages that I don't need or want) Looking for a little guidance here. Bob S.

Alsa 1.0.7: No SB Audigy LS Soundcard found
by Terje J. Hanssen 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

I just upgraded to the Alsa 1.0.7 rpms on Suse 9.1, because it should support my Creative, SB Audigy LS sound card (according to the alsa driver developer). However, Yast2 still doesn't find or list this card. I also tried to run alsaconf in a terminal, but got the message: "No supported PnP or PCI card found". However, using the Yast2 hardware info, this card is listed under the sections PCI and Sound as "Creative Multimedia audio controller". (and it works on the same multiboot PC on Win2k, so the hardware should be correct installed). Is there something more that has to be done to get the sound card to work on Suse 9.1? (for example recompile the kernel or edit the /etc/modules for the correct settings for the card) Regards, Terje J. Hanssen

9.2 Any write to screen while in "dpms off" turns monitor on
by Mark Gray 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

I just ran across an annoying new feature in 9.2 which I cannot find how to disable: whenever you have your montor in "dpms off" mode, if a program writes to the screen, or the fan comes on, the monitor is turned back on. I have searched high and low, but cannot seem to find a mention of this feature or how to disable it. (Or is that the way it was supposed to work all along, and not turning back on was a now fixed bug?) My laptop is an HP Pavilion xz355, using an Intel Corp. 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset Host Bridge, PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0, and during boot Linux has always warned me: Warning: The ACPI AML in your computer contains errors, please nag the manufacturer to correct it. I have already applied all the updates available from YOU. What has changed? thanks for your time.

Hi all! I am on the verge of building my new Linuxbox. I am looking at the ASUS PC-DL motherboard for Dual XEON CPU's. Does anyone have any experience running Linux on such a board? I want to know if i should go for that particular motherboard. Does Linux find everything?

Chemsketch equivalent for Linux ?
by Kaare Rasmussen 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi My daughter has been told to use chemsketch for her lab reports in chemistry. As I understand, it is not for drawing molecules, rather to draw laboratory equipment. Test tubes, bunsen burners, etc. Does anybody know a program that can do this in native Linux ? I see on the homepage of chemsketch that it can be made to run under Linux through Codeweaver's Crossover. But I'd rather let her run a native Linux program if possible. And I'd rather save the 40 $ if possible. -- Kaare Rasmussen --Linux, spil,-- Tlf: 3816 2582 Kaki Data tshirts, merchandize Fax: 3816 2501 Nordre Fasanvej 12 Åben 12.00-18.00 Email: kar(a)kakidata.dk 2000 Frederiksberg Lørdag 12.00-16.00 Web: www.suse.dk

Problem after install ULB gnome 2.8 from usrlocalbin.org (JAMES OGLEY)
by dclemen 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi. I'm using Suse 9.1 Pro. I have a very low Internet conection, so to update Gnome to 2.8, in work I go to usrlocalbin.org, and donwload all files, burn to CD and go home to update it. First, I try a "rpm -Fvh --test *.rpm" to see dependencies problems. I have several. Some of them was solve installing rpms that was in cd but not installed yet, so "-F" don't try to install. Other, as Evolution can solve, then, cause I don't use evolution, I uninstall evolution from my machine, so this will not be update. I have to install other packages from Suse9.1DVD, as gail2. After that, only a package was not solve "gswitchit" or something so. This package, that was installed, conflict with new gnome-applets-2.6.0. I try to uninstall gswitchit, but this no solve. I don't understand who a package that was unistalled can cause problem with other new ¿?. Finally I force install with "rpm -Fvh --force --nodeps *.rpm". After that reboot. First problem was gdm. It did not work. It complain about gdm.conf. File exists, but maybe worst configuration. Well login in terminal mode, and after that run "startx" (I usually do when not using gdm some years ago). X starts and seems to begin gnome, but it paint light blue background, and display a rectangle in the middle of screen, but this was white (no icons or image in this rectangle). After a few minutes, X close. Gdm is important, but I prefer now to solve gnome 2.8 load problem. What should I do to solve this problem?. What's log do you need to help me?. XFree works fine, so you don't need XFree logs. Thanks

Fresh installing 9.2 over 9.0 and partitiong CONFUSION
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

I have a working 9.0 system now and am getting 9.2 tomorrow. I figured that as long as I had a backup of my /home and /etc directory, I'd let the new 9.2 system configure as much as possible, using the partitions I had setup for 9.0, and then restore my /home backup to the new /home partition on 9.2. Now I am seeing that I can install 9.2 over 9.0, redefine the partitioning and if unsatisfied could roll back to 9.0. Given that I have precious little extra free space on the partitions, how could I repartition and then possible roll back to the old partitioning? To my knowledge a disks partitioning is read before anything else and is 'hard coded' into the HDD, overwriting the old stored partition values, when you partition it. So how can I 'roll back' a 9.2 install to 9.0 given that the partitions it used have been overwritten by the new 'unwanted' 9.2 system?? -- The Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 Licenced Windows user ========================================================================

random nfs server permission problems
by Staněk Daniel 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi I am using Suse 9.2 professional as NFS server and second machine with Suse 8.2 professional as NFS client. When I try to access files on nfs server everything is ok but after a while I get random permission denied error while reading some file. From this moment I cannot read any file from nfs share, I can read only files I've red before error. I have found that kernel update may solve this problem: 29 Oct 2004 um-host-kernel: The User Mode Linux kernel.

I'm not clear on that, I mean, I'm not sure. I can't analyze if it is SuSE, because the spamassassin headers that SuSE puts there are removed by my local spamassassin run. But have a look at "http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Nov/". There is at least one message with the *spam* subject line, and the one in question is missing from the archive (our answers are shown, but not the fist message).

Is SuSE 9.2 worth it over SuSE 9.1?
by Preston Crawford 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

After seeing all the bug reports and problems people are having I'm starting to reconsider upgrading (I'm currently running SuSE 9.1). I generally do. Both to keep current and because I like giving Linux companies my business, but I don't want to break a system that works fine right now. Is it really that bad? Or is this just a squeaky wheel thing?

SuSE 9.2 DVD readability
by Jerry Feldman 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

I received my personal copy of the DVD on Monday, but have not had time to try it out until last night. The DVD would neither read nor mount on my laptop. To rule out bad hardware, I was able to successfully mount and read the source DVD. I have since contacted Amazon for a replacement. However, I was able to use another DVD reader here at work, and copy all 8GB to my laptop. One possibility is simply that my laptop DVD reader is a bit off register and the DVD is good, or the DVD is marginal. In any case the replacement will tell the story. -- Jerry Feldman <gerald.feldman(a)hp.com> Partner Technology Access Center (contractor) (PTAC-MA) Hewlett-Packard Co. 550 King Street LKG2a-X2 Littleton, Ma. 01460 (978)506-5243

Via EPIA Mini-ITX Motherboard & SuSE 9.2 locking up.
by Graham Smith 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Just a bit of information relating to VIA EPIA Mini-ITX Motherboard and lockups when running SuSE 9.2. I've been having problems with SuSE 9.2 on a VIA EPIA Mini-ITX Motherboard. SuSE 9.2 would either lockup solid during the boot process or if I managed to login it would lockup when running programs like MC or YaST. I initially thought the problem was memory related. But after running the memory test for a day ruled that out. I appear to have isolated the problem to the power management package. I'm still testing but when the powermanagement is disabled I have yet to have it lockup on me. I'll repost if I find out further details. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
