9.2 install boot manager error
by Robert Fitzpatrick 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

Trying to install 9.2 on a Gateway laptop 600s, I get through copying of the packages and when it goes to 'Finishing Basic Installation', it hangs at 62% during 'Install boot manager'. The message at that point is 'Creating initrd...'. This laptop already has Windows XP/Red Hat 9 dual boot with the grub boot manager. I am trying to overwrite Red Hat and MBR keeping the Windows, which all shows up as expected under default New Installation settings. Can someone suggest what may be my problem? -- Robert -- _______________________________________________ ^ ^ / \ Robert Fitzpatrick <robert(a)webtent.com> \ / \ WebTent Networking, Inc. www.webtent.com \ / \ \ / \\|// \ Office: 813-286-6502 \ / \\\|/// \ Fax: 813-281-2077 \ / \\ ~ ~ // \ Non-Local: 1-888-WEBTENT \ / (\ @ @ /) \ \ / oOOo~(_)~oOOo \ "All your Internet needs under one tent" \ ~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

OpenOffice.org & ODBC hang
by Steve Dowe 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

Hi Folks, Has anyone experienced a complete hang in OOo when trying to access a MySQL database through ODBC? Although I can see table names of the database to which I have connected, I cannot perform a simple query (e.g. "SELECT * FROM <table>;"). I can perform the same query in knoda (KDE), which returns the expected rows. This makes me think there is something afoot with the OOo/ODBC interface. Would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced similar problems. Many thanks, Steve

Grip fails rip on SCSI CDROM after 2.6.8-24.10 upgrade (9.2)
by Philip Amadeo Saeli 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

[SUSE Linux 9.2 Professional] After the kernel upgrade to 2.6.8-24.10, Grip no longer will rip audio CDs. The Rip: progress indicator only blips for an instant than goes to Idle status. The Enc: progress indicator goes through all the tracks, spending approx 2-3 seconds on each track then finishes as if all was OK. However, no files are generated at all! Some clues: - Syslog has messages: "Dec 29 15:32:35 xxxxx kernel: sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive." - Running strace on Grip shows the following (in one of the threads): "write(20, "Unable to open cdrom drive.\n", 28) = 28" However, the open on /dev/sg0 succeeds earlier in the trace. All of the needed devices have appropriate permissions: - /dev/scd0 - /dev/sg0 I am using Grip's buil-in cdparanoia for ripping. Has anyone else encountered this? Everything was working just fine last week and there have been no hardware changes. I can find no other error messages!?! BTW, this system has all of the 9.2 security patches installed (via YOU). BTW, anyone know of any other audio CD rippers/encoders? Thanks, Phil -- Philip Amadeo Saeli SuSE Linux 9.2 psaeli(a)zorodyne.com

Re: [suse-xfree86] solution report: X.Org6.8 driver for ATI Radeon

Hello, > When the install was through, KDE came up with 640x480... > (The system is pretty much unusable, even the KDE control center cannot > be displayed correctly.) Have you run YaST online update (or you)? When I install 9.2 on my thinkpad T40 I run the update during the installation (or right afterwards using "you") because there is a corrective patch for Radeon video drivers. If I don't - I will have problems like you. So this helps James

X Server listening on loopback
by Jorge Fábregas 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

Hello everyone, I modified the following file: /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers so that my X server won't listen to tcp connetions. I added the "-nolisten tcp" to the main line there. I restarted the X Server and when I use netstat I don' t longer see any line listening on port 6000. Before I had: 0.0.0.0:6000 After the change I was expecting to see: 127.0.0.1:6000 The problem is I don't see anything now. How come? I thought that the "-nolisten tcp" argument meant that X should listen only on the loopback device. Isn't X client-server model? Or does it use IPC ? Thanks in advance, Jorge

Any diffs between 9.2 DVD (purchased) and 9.2 DVD iso on FTP servers
by Greg Macek 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

Just wondering if there is any discernable difference, such as different packages not being included on the DVD ISO download. Since it's being called an "Eval" version on Novell's/SUSE's site, I wasn't sure. Greg
