Eval vs. Professional?
by Chris Carlen 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

Hi: Here it says that the Eval version (.iso download) has 1000 packages, while the FTP version has 3500. Couldn't one simply install the Eval version, then install any other desired packages through FTP? Could this be done through Yast, or would one have to download and install such packages outside the set of 1000 manually, since the *index* of known packages to the Eval version is only 1000 or so long? Thanks. -- ____________________________________ Christopher R. Carlen Principal Laser/Optical Technologist Sandia National Laboratories CA USA crcarle(a)sandia.gov

Hi all

Hi all, This is my first posting to the list. And the second attempt of using Linux Suse (now 9.2, the first was 8.0). And I was surprised to see how much improved it is. It's astounding. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | http://linux2.arinet.org 21:28:11 up 10 min, Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Official) for i586 public key: https://www.arinet.org/fajar-pub.key

Configure MySQL for InnoDB
by devosc 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

Hi, I wonder if some could help advise how to get MySQL to run with InnoDB support. Having MySQL already installed I then installed mysql-MAX via YaST2, and uncommented the InnoDB settings in etc/my.cnf, restarting mysql via YaSTS2 run-level editor, mysql seemed to restart ok. But I don't think InnoDB support has been enabled, and so I thought I might try and restart mysql via the command prompt, however when I did ~mysqld --help I got the following msg: mysqld: ERROR: unknown variable 'innodb_data_home_dir=/var/lib/mysql/' >From the above I was looking for the cmd to restart like mysql-max-nt ??? The default uncommented settings are below. # Uncomment the following if you are using InnoDB tables innodb_data_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/ innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend innodb_log_group_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/ innodb_log_arch_dir = /var/lib/mysql/ # You can set .._buffer_pool_size up to 50 - 80 % # of RAM but beware of setting memory usage too high innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M # Set .._log_file_size to 25 % of buffer pool size innodb_log_file_size = 5M innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1 innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50 G. -- devosc

DVD question [again]
by Hans du Plooy 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

Sorry for stirring this topic again, but I have another question. There seems to be a difference between "dual layer" and "double layer." Reason I suspect this, is because I bought a Verbatim "Double Layer" 8.5GB DVD and copied the 9.2 Pro DVD onto it. Unforunately my normal DVD-ROM, and no other DVD-ROM I tried. It does work on a few DVD writers though. Thanks -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com

*&^^%$ Resmgr again
by Bruce Marshall 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

I have a new Canon S1 camera that wants to talk in PTP mode. I can run digikam as root and the camera gets connected just fine. But I cannot for the life of me get it to run as a user. I get the wunnerful resmgr 501 and 502 errors. I've done the following: 1) Gone through google with site:suse and found a thread two years ago where I was trying to solve the same problem for a different camera. 2) I've done everything suggested in (1) 3) I've gone through the doc in /usr/share/packages/libgphoto2/linux-hotplug etc etc etc. 4) I've made changes to the /etc/hotplug/usb files suggested in (3). 5) I've made a change to fstab that is supposed to allow users access to any usb device..... yada yada yada. But I still can't access the camera through digikam as a user even though it does detect it. I've been here before.... but have lost the secrets of life. Can someone give me a clue? Thanks.

Thunderbird segfault in 9.2
by Jason Joines 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

I've been using Thunderbird as my mail client fince I installed SuSE 9.2 months ago. I installed via YaST which gave me MozillaThunderbird-0.8-5.0, then upgraded to MozillaThunderbird-1.0-0.1 via the SuSE projects RPM. It's been running fine until 2 days ago. Then I shut it down for what was probably the first time in a few weeks. When I tried to fire it up via the KDE menu, it showed up in the task bar for just a few seconds then went away. When I tried running /opt/MozillaThunderbird/bin/thunderbird.sh I got "Segmentation fault". Then I tried running /opt/MozillaThunderbird/lib/thunderbird-bin directly and got "/opt/MozillaThunderbird/lib/thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I looked for this file and found it in /opt/MozillaThunderbird/lib/, the same directory thunderbird-bin is in, so I ran ldd on thunderbird-bin and got: > ldd thunderbird-bin linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libmozjs.so => not found libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x4002f000) libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x402f5000) libatk-1.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 (0x40364000) libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0x4037f000) libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 (0x40394000) libpangox-1.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0 (0x40399000) libpango-1.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0 (0x403a5000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0x403d9000) libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0x40413000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40417000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x4041b000) libxpcom.so => not found libplds4.so => not found libplc4.so => not found libnspr4.so => not found libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x4049b000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x404ad000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x405aa000) libpng.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 (0x405cd000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x405fb000) libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x4061a000) libsmime3.so => not found libssl3.so => not found libnss3.so => not found libsoftokn3.so => not found libldap50.so => not found libprldap50.so => not found libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4062c000) libXp.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x40680000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40688000) libxpcom_compat.so => not found libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x40696000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40753000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x4075b000) libXft.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x40872000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x40885000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x408f4000) libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0x4091e000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x40922000) libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1 (0x4092a000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x40934000) libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 (0x4093c000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40961000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40969000) libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x40982000) Next I added /opt/MozillaThunderbird/lib to ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig.

I decided I must've updated something via YOU while it was running and broke something that I just hadn't noticed until I restarted. I uninstalled MozillaThunderbird, then installed again from YaST but had the exact same results with MozillaThunderbird-0.8-5.0. Then I ran YOU again and got MozillaThunderbird-0.8-5.5 but still had the exact same results. I again tried upgrading to the projects version, MozillaThunderbird-1.0-0.1, but still have the same problem. Any ideas? Jason Joines ================================
