sysvinit bug in 9.1?
by Kastus 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Can anybody running 9.1 confirm the following? sysvinit-2.85-20 shipped with 9.1 has a bug setting HOME environment variable. If you run the command "tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/1/environ" as root, it reports: OME=/ TERM=linux vga=0x317 splash=silent Note missing H in HOME. Possible impact is on apcupsd package. Has anybody reported this to SUSE feedback? If not, I will do that. Thanks, -Kastus

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.

Philips Webcam module (pwc) on SuSE 9.1
by Jay Vollmer 01 Jun '04

Hi everybody. If I'm not mistaken, the pwc module is hosed in the 9.1 kernel. What are Webcam users among you doing to make use of your webcams, short of recompiling to include pwc? Thanks for any advice - but prefer good advice. -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER(a)CONSOLIDATEDLINT.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE

Looking for an explanation

This morning I couldn't log in (KDE), but could log in at console. After a good deal of searching and experimentation I discovered that my /tmp had run out of space, and that my /tmp/kde-eddie was 689MB! Can anyone say why kde-eddie should have grown to that size? How can I prevent a reoccurrence? By removing kde-eddie I can log in now and everything seem fine (so far). Any thoughts, anyone? Thanks Eddie

ntegrated card reader problem
by Shawn Tanner 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

I have a Gateway M675 laptop and have a small problem with the integrated USB card reader. If I boot with a card in the reader, it behaves as I believe it should. The card will be accessible and switching cards will result in a knoqueror window opening with the contents of the new card. There will also be an icon in the "My Computer" folder which links to the card. If I boot without the card in the reader there will not be a link created in "My Computer" and a konqueror window will not open up. In this case I can mount the card manually (mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /media/SDCard) and if I do, konqueror will suddenly pop up a window saying new hardware has been detected. This isn't catastrophic because I can acces the card regardless but I dislike having to access it different ways depending on how I booted. Any solutions or explanations would be appreciated.

PCMCIA help needed

I have 2 amd 64 laptops. Both loaded with Suse 9.1 32 & 64. The first is an Emachines 6807, the 2nd is a Compaq R3140. Problem -- Cards that can be setup and used on the Emachines (generic pcmcia controler) but not on the Compaq. The Compaq has a TI-1620 pcmcia controler that has to be accessed through a pci bridge. I have entered the following into my etc/pcmcia/config.opts --include port 0x3000-0x7fff, memory 0xe8100000-0xe97fffff This allows me to access the controler. Now a modem or aircard 555 are seen, but there is not connection to /dev/ttyS0. >From the system long on the 6807 --- May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: PCI: IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:0a.0 doesn't match PIRQ mask - try pci=usepirqmask May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:0a.0 May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:10.1 May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:00:0a.0 [161f:2032] May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: Yenta: Enabling burst memory read transactions May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: Yenta: Using CSCINT to route CSC interrupts to PCI May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: Yenta: Routing CardBus interrupts to PCI May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x0000, PCI irq 11 May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: Socket status: 30000010 May 30 23:06:39 linux91 kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean.
