Cant get Azureus to install on 9.2
by Richard Atcheson 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

I just upgraded to 9.2 and am trying to get Azureus to work.. I download the latest version, un tar it and type the ./azureus. After a short while it aborts with the error message: Couldnt find per display information. I've googled, gargled and giggled all I can and can only find a reference to the command xhost which when run gets me this error: xhost: unable to open display "richdell.mojado:0.0" I've tried it as root and user with the same results. I suspect it has to do with the setup/config of x.org but cant find anything and I'm not smart enough to figure it out. Can anyone give me a hint? TIA, Richard

Just installed 9.2 and having trouble finding some files
by Gil Weber 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

Maybe I'm just missing something sitting in front of my nose... But I just installed 9.2 (clean install) and I can't find kuickshow to use for viewing my .jpg files, .tiff files, etc. I did a search in "install and remove software" under Yast2 modules (control center) but found nothing. Where is kuickshow? Thx! Gil

I don't think the modules in the package was meant to work with a newer kernel, i.e.2.6.

Right now I am running a patched 2.6.10 kernel.org kernel. If you think it is the kernel modules, I would suggest getting a generic kernel, compile it and add it to your menu and try it. Or, since you may already have the kernel sources installed, you could maybe do some diff checks in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net of the kernel that doesn't work and the older one that does. >P.S.: Your mail server doesn't like me. > ><Joe_Morris(a)ntm.org>: host mxpool2.postoffice.net[165.212.65.113] said: 550 > Mail from 213.94.7.77 refused. ?Please refer to > http://www.dnsbl.us.sorbs.net/faq/ for an explanation.

Apache question from a newbe
by Robert A. Rawlinson 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

I have to develop some html-perl scripts to run on apache. I want to test them out so I used yast to install apache2. I have spent all day trying to find where I put the file index.html to get it to run. I have read the FAQ's and I still can't find out how to point-to or where to install the index file to get it to run. Has anyone got this to work? If so how do I get my scripts to run. Please!

Very good! And thanks once more. Now to get to work. This is what I wanted. Now I can start to check out the scripts I have written. Bob Rawlinson

usb storage does not work
by Roberto Ugoccioni 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

Hi all, I recently installed SuSE Linux 9.1, and usb-storage does not work. I have been using SuSE 8.1 all along on the same hardware, using several usb devices which require usb-storage, including memory sticks and digital cameras. Notice that the usb part in general works in 9.1 (e.g. the scanner works), just storage devices don't. SuSE 9.1 is not un upgrade, it is a fresh install. I tried updating all packages, including the kernel, two days ago, but the result is exactly the same. I also installed Fedora Core 2, but exactly the same result occurred. SuSE and Fedora handle automounting differently, so I think this is related to the new kernel 2.6. Google showed some posts from last summer which stated the same or a very similar problem, but no solutions! I did not save /var/log/messages in SuSE, but here is the Fedora one, which is very very similar: kernel: usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2 kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 4 kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices kernel: Vendor: Generic Model: Rev: kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered. kernel: SCSI device sda: 251904 512-byte hdwr sectors (129 MB) kernel: sda: Write Protect is off scsi.agent[2981]: disk at /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.2/usb1/ 1-1/1-1:1.0/host0/0:0:0:0 kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: port 1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...<6> In all cases it never got to attaching the device - on other systems with SuSE 9.1 and working usb-storage there follow lines like these: > kernel: sda: sda1 > kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, > channel 0,un 0 > kernel: Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0,id 0,lun 0,type 0 > /etc/hotplug/block.agent[32184]: new block device /block/sda/sda1 > /etc/hotplug/block.agent[32162]: waiting for /var/lock/block.agent.lock, > process 32184 holds it > /etc/hotplug/block.agent[32184]: mount > by-path/usb-storage-193118B21071:0:0:0p1 > /etc/hotplug/block.agent[32162]: new block device /block/sda I stress that the above does not happen on my system. In addition, "ps -ax" shows a 'modprobe -s usb-storage' process which never proceeds, it stays there until reboot, while "lsmod" shows the usb-storage module in the listing and "rmmod usb-storage" complains that it cannot remove the module because it is in use. Finally, I found out that any attempt to read /proc/bus/usb/devices hangs and cannot be interrupted. The motherboard is an AOpen AK73 Pro(A) with an Athlon 1000, the options "assign IRQ to USB" is disabled in the BIOS (this was needed for SuSE 8.1 usb to work). I also tried booting with "noapic acpi=off" without success. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance Roberto

[SLE]Kernel Update and Watcher.
by Schwartz 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Hi! I'm running SuSE 9.2 Pro, but i manually compiled kernel 2.6.10 for himself. Now, there's a security upgrade for the SuSE kernel (which is still installed, but not activated), and even though i sets the kernel upgrade as "Protected - Do Not Modify" or "Taboo - Do Not Install", SuSEWatcher continues to complain at him about a security update. Should i uninstall the SuSE kernel altogether, update it to get SuSEWatcher to shut up, or is there an easier way? thank you. -- Telecom SUCKS!!!

hda bad?
by James Hatridge 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Hi all... Looking at tty10 where the error messages are I see this: ide : failed opcode was : unknown hda : drive not ready for command ide0 : reset: success hda : irq timeout: status = 0x80 { Busy } Should I worry about this? Is my brand new 80gb disk going bad? A few minutes after I wrote the above I had the system freeze up on me and I had to do a hard reboot. I noticed that this happened just after I had loaded some pictures from my digital cameria disk using a USB card reader. After I loaded the pictures I tried to burn them to a CD. K3B gave me an error and kicked the cd out. I tried to reboot and everything locked up. I unplugged the USB card reader and did a hard boot. Now it seems to work fine and I don't get any errors. Could the USB system be a problem? A couple of hours later, it seems that I still have this problem at odd times even without the card reader. So far I've not had to reboot, but a couple of times I've got the errors above and the system slowed down, even stopped for a couple of seconds once. What do you guys think?

If you launch gtk-gnutella from a konsole it bombs out but gives you a message. In this message is all you need to do to get things loaded (I hesitate to use "running" as i cannot seem to get things working once loaded). It has something to do with (i think) SuSE suing an older version?? Tim
