8.2 install problem
by Stephen W 31 May '04

31 May '04

Oops - sorry, pressed the wrong key... Have a Maxtor DiamondMax 160 GB HD C= 16.6 GB D= 7.8 GB E= 128.0 GB All are FAT32 format Windows-XP pro is on C, D and E and empty. Try to put SuSE on what Win calls E... but when it tries to repartition and format with reiserFS I get errors. QUOTE: Information section has wrong parameters. FS reporting free space as 0 cluster, should be 4196658. A resizing error has occurred. Thought perhaps SuSE could not use that large of a HD, but when I said use the whole disk it went fine. However, I do still need some Win programs ... :-( Thanks ===== Stephen W Sarasota, FL "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine ..." Proverbs __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Xircom 10/100 pcmcia cards
by Carl Smith 31 May '04

31 May '04

Hi, Im new to Suse and trying to load 9.0 on my laptop. Im using Xircom Realport PCMCIA cards (RE-100 and RBEM56G-100) but there are no drivers on the boot CD that I created from the FTP site. Looking in the hardware datebase these seem not to be suppported ... how do I get one of these cards running so I have a network connection to install through. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Re: [SLE] K3B & Ripping

Erik, A bit confused here... Do you mean you want to burn a CD in k3b? If so, yes I can do it. What error are you getting? --OR-- If you want to rip the files from the CD to your hard drive, check out the Audio CD Browser in konqueror. (I just had an entire thread on this the last few days, so if you have any problems, check that out.) Type "audiocd:/" in the Location bar in konqueror with the audio CD in your CD-ROM drive. Then just drag and drop. (This takes a while, so just be patient.) wmeler -----Original Message----- From: Erik Jakobsen <eja(a)urbakken.dk> Sent: May 31, 2004 1:29 AM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SLE] K3B & Ripping Hi. I'm using SuSE 9.1, and would rip an audiocd with K3B, but I couldn't do it. Can anybody of you do it, and how did you solve the problem ?. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards Erik Jakobsen - eja(a)urbakken.dk SuSE Linux 9.1 Proff. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com Cheers, wmeler

SuSE 9.1 vs Windows XP
by William G. Westfall 31 May '04

31 May '04

Well, I have a duel boot system because I have certain games I adore and Linux has yet to pick them up. But.... I have always wanted to be able to watch TV while computing. Recently I purchased a Haupauge WinTV card and initially installed it in Windows XP, since that is the software that came with it. After 3 crashes and it barely working I booted into SuSE 9.1 to give it a shot. WOW, Linux is on the verge my friends. Kdetv worked perfectly the first time, card recognized... channels set, and blast off. Still waiting for some sound configuration problem or crash.... been running it for 10 days now, LOL. Windows days are numbered, just get the games ported and windows is history on this guy's machine!!!!!! Proud to be an advocate of Linux.... put 9.1 on 3 of my friends machines so far. Hoping for more. -- Made with____________________________________________ Linux 2.6.4-54.5 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.1)

Installing from Secondary CD-ROM
by Lucky Leavell 31 May '04

31 May '04

OS: SuSE 9.1 I am currently installing from a combo DVD-DOM/CD-ROM drive (/dev/hdb) as that is the only one I can get to boot from CD. The secondary CD-ROM (/dev/hdd) is recognized by the BIOS but for whatever reason will not boot from either CD. (I switched the IDE cables when attempting to boot from the CD-ROM, making it primary slave for a while to no avail.) Problem: The DVD drive apparently needs cleaning and I do not have a drive cleaning kit here. It has popped up the dialog stating it cannot find some packages. Occasionally a retry works but I usually have to Ignore the package to continue. Question: Once the install completes, assuming it is even useable, is there some yay to make YaST install the missing stuff from the secondary CD-ROM? Alternatively, it there any way I can boot from diskette and thence from the secondary CD-ROM drive? (I tried booting from CD2 in the primary (DVD/CD) drive but it failed trying to read the floppy drive for some reason.) (I'll fetch the drive cleaner tomorrow but, hopefully, will already be done.) Thank you, Lucky Leavell

Lee, This did the trick. Thanks a lot! wmeler -----Original Message----- Install the program "Lame" from Packman's site or some other mp3 ripping program. MP3s will then show up in your Audio Browser as well as OGG. Lee Cheers, wmeler

statd
by Miguel Afonso Oliveira 31 May '04

31 May '04

Dear All, I've just installed SuSE 9.1 and I'm trying to pin down the ports used by several services. One of these is NFS but I can't find where statd went to??? It used to be started from the nfslock script but now only the lockd is there... The service is however listed in rpcinfo -p. Anyone knows what happened with statd in this version? All the best, MAO -- ============================================================== | | | Miguel Afonso Oliveira | | | | Computational Spintronics Group | | Physics Department | | Trinity College | | Dublin 2 Phone: +353 1 6083262 | | Ireland Mobile: +353 87 7471703 | | Fax: +353 1 6711759 | | Email: m.a.oliveira(a)tcd.ie | | | ==============================================================

by Martin Mielke 31 May '04

Hi all, yesterday I upgraded a SuSE 9.0 Pro system to KDE 3.2.2. Everything went smooth but now it's not possible to use the mouse-wheel... Is it KDE or XFree86 related? :/ Thanks, Martin

Re: [SLE] Konqueror Audio CD Browser Not Working

One problem solved, one to go... 1) Anders, You were 100% right. When I used /dev/sg0 in Control Center, the error changed to "Could not write". I then checked the permissions: >>>ls -al /dev/s?0 crw-r----- 1 root disk 21, 0 Sep 9 2002 /dev/sg0 brwxrwxrwx 1 wmeler disk 11, 0 Sep 9 2002 /dev/sr0 crw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 0 Sep 9 2002 /dev/st0 When I did a simple 'chmod 777 /dev/sg0' everything worked. Thanks!!! 2) Everyone, I have another problem now with the Audio CD Browser. I can see WAV, CDA, and OGG files. OGG is nice, but I'd like to use the MP3 functionality. There is an "Ogg Vorbis" directory, but no MP3 directory. How do I get the MP3 functionality? wmeler -----Original Message----- From: Anders Johansson <andjoh(a)rydsbo.net> Sent: May 30, 2004 2:49 PM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Konqueror Audio CD Browser Not Working On Sunday 30 May 2004 19.55, wmeler wrote: > An error occurred while loading audiocd:/: > Access denied to /dev/sr0 Check the permissions on /dev/sg0 too, I believe that is the important device -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com Cheers, wmeler
