9.2, problem with suspend to ram
by Ernest Byaruhanga 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

hi, i've just installed suse 9.2 pro on a dell latutude d600. i have a problem with suspend to ram. it suspends well but cannot resume. when it resumes, i can hear that the cpu has woken up, all led's come on apart from the display. the keyboard also does not come up since pressing caps-lock wont light the caps lock LED. can someone with a similar laptop advise if they have got suspend to ram working well with suse 9.2? NB - suspend to disk works fine.. but it takes long to resume :-( thanks! e.

I have an RCA Lyra RD1090 and am running suse 9.1 kernel 2.6.9. I have tried the usbat 2 driver and it didn't work. How am I supposed to get the stupid mp3 player to even be seen correctly under linux? When I go to mount it, it says that it can't read the superblock. Can ANYONE help me?

LVM and df
by Vanderstucken François 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Hi, Obtained during installation a freespace problem on a LVM filesystem. Extended this filesystem with command lvextend from 300MB to 450MB lvdisplay shows file was extended to 450MB (so lvextend worked well). Yet still same problem when restarting the installation. df command shows the size is still 307184KB (same as before the lvextend command). What is blocking? François Vanderstucken

SuSE 9.2: mysql-shared-compat?
by Chris Carpinello 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

I have a need for mysql 3.x compatibility libraries, but I didn't find a mysql-shared-compat RPM on the SuSE 9.2 CDs. Any chance we'll be seeing official support for this, or are we on our own? - Chris

9.2 Install
by Darrell Cormier 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Has anyone done an install or upgrade from a hard drive local to the machine? I am trying to upgrade a 9.1 box using it's local harddisk. I have the contents of DVD1 at /data/suse/9.2/install/ (built from a mounted iso image of dvd1). /dev/hda4 is mounted at /data. So when I boot using the 9.2 boot disk, at the boot manager (grub) screen I tell it installation, then I hit F3 to change the installation source. I select "Hard Disk". Then in the next dialog I put: Disk Device: /dev/hda4 Directory: /data/suse/9.2/install For the above I get the following message: Could not find the SuSE Linux installation source. Activating manual setup program. I have tried the following combinations and still get the same result: Device | Directory /dev/hda | /data/suse/9.2/install/ /dev/hda | /suse/9.2/install/ /dev/hda | suse/9.2/install/ hda | /data/suse/9.2/install/ What am I doing wrong. Could not find any info while googling (maybe my search criteria is wrong). Tried searching SuSE sight for installation from hard disk, but didn't find it either. I have also tried installing from an nfs server but it only gets part way and craters with no recovery and it leaves me starting over. :-( Thanks, -- Darrell Cormier Registered Linux user #370711 http://counter.li.org

Suse 9.2. I actually got it loaded, had to delete all instances of ieee80211 that suse came with, so it would use the new driver ones...but I still can't ping anything!! -----Original Message----- From: Khanh Tran [mailto:khanh@slc.edu] Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 3:38 PM To: Thom Nowakowski; suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: RE: [SLE] ipw2100 1.0.1..help!!

Hi guys, here was my issue at first; I tried connecting with my Compaq X1000 laptop to a wireless router It's a centrino chipset I set up the essid and crypt correctly...got a signal and was connected. The wireless router issued me a ip address, iwconfig confirmed I had an address I tried pinging my router...unreachable, checked route -n and noticed I didn't have a default gw. Added a default gateway hoping that would fix it..NOPE, no luck! Link says 100..ultimate line quality. My router says I'm connected to it..however I can't ping anything!! I pinged my laptop ip to be sure, I got a reply. Went to freenode.org and tried asking around. They thought maybe I needed to upgrade the driver. Downloaded and installed ipw2100 1.0.1, but now it won't load, getting the following error; WARNING: Error inserting ieee80211 (/lib/modules/2.6.8-24-default/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee8 0211.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Unloaded all ieee modules...still didn't help. Can someone please help me? I have no idea what to do next?? Thanks!! Thom
