The following code generates output: Creating thread 0 Creating thread 1 Creating thread 2 Creating thread 3 Creating thread 4 while the same binary works fine on other linux machines. anyone has a solution ? I compiled with gcc -pthread and icc -pthread, both have the same problem. /****************************************************************************** * FILE: hello.c * DESCRIPTION: * A "hello world" Pthreads program.

I like smpppd, if only for the kinternet applet. Having control from the toolbar is handy. I just need to know how to set up the interaction between smpppd and pppoe.

Most tenacious settings for smpppd and pppoe
by Michael James 26 May '05

26 May '05

What are the most tenacious settings for smpppd and pppoe? I have a home server that I want up 24/7 If the pppoe internet connection drops out I want it to re-connect. If that fails I want it to keep trying. Waiting a minute or 5 between tries is no problem, but I want it to keep trying forever. key files are: /etc/ppp/options /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-dsl0 /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/provider0 Thanks for any tips, michaelj -- Michael James michael.james(a)csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 Internet Explorer is fine for downloading Firefox, but after that....

Printing from KMail on 9.3
by Robert Paulsen 26 May '05

26 May '05

Hello, When I try to print from KMail on SuSE 9.3 the printer light blinks a couple of time but there is no output. Printing from KNode works just fine and both seem to be using the same KDE printing subsystem. Worked for me on 9.1. Also, I can print to PDF and then print the PDF OK. All other printing applications I have run across so far work fine. It is just printing directly to printer from KMail that is giving me problems. Using CUPS to a network printer (HP2100M). No error message in /var/log/*. Has anyone else had a problem printing from KMail on 9.3?

syslog-ng configuration.
by Robert Paulsen 26 May '05

26 May '05

Hmm -- from 9.1 to 9.3 syslog has morphed into syslog-ng. I have my gateway/router set to send syslog info to my SuSE system. This worked fine on 9.1 but I can't figure out how todo it on 9.3. There are two levels of configuration one can deal with -- the individual package's config file (syslog-ng.conf) or the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file. All the documentation addresses the first, but comments in that file say to leave it alone and use the second. But there is nothing in that file that seems appropriate for enabling external connections. Anyone have experience with this?

Semi-successful SSL/Apache Configuration
by Robert Paulsen 25 May '05

25 May '05

Hello, I have been able to configure SSL/Apache so that it works, but I had to do it in a way that leads me to believe things aren't 100% kosher. If I set the following in /etc/sysconfig/apache2 apache will not start: APACHE_SERVER_FLAGS="-DSSL" I get an error message about port 443 being in use. It is actually NOT in use, as I can see via the netstat command. It appears that Apache is trying to bind to the port twice. If I start Apache without the above setting it starts OK and DOES listen to port 443. But, without the above setting an important part of the Apache virtual host config file gets skipped. I can only get it all to work by commenting out the "<IfDefine SSL>" Note that I have configured this manually based on the "vhost-ssl.template" file as I could not get the configuration supplied by yast to work at all. Can anyone enlighten me on what's going on here? Thanks.

TrippLite and Serial Ports
by L. Mark Stone 25 May '05

25 May '05

I have a new TrippLite SmartPro UPS 2200 I am attempting to manage via a box running SLES9. I connected the supplied DB-9 serial cable to the server, installed the PowerAlert monitoring utility and launched the console. The console says it can't find any UPSes. The command prompt from which I launched the console reports: ERR: VarRecord.update: PDU error 5 I believe this is a generic snmp error, likely indicating there is no communication between the UPS and the server. TrippLite tech support did not want to talk to me once I told them the box was running SLES; they claim they only support Linux. The tech did eventually volunteer that most problems are because the serial port needs to be set to 2400 baud. (He also told me his docs had no info for parity, data bits or stop bits, so who knows...). Being a newb to serial ports under Linux (but knowing a bit about serial ports in principle having done beta testing for Hayes years ago), I'd like to know the following if some kind soul could help: 1. Do I need to load a kernel module to get the serial port fully functional? setserial correctly reports the uart type already. 2. How do I set the parity, data and stop bit settings for the port (I'll start with N-8-1, preferably). 3. I think the port is already at 2400 baud, but I'd like to run something at boot time that definitely initializes the serial port. Setserial? Thanks!

More About Kat -- v 0.5.3??
by Randall R Schulz 25 May '05

25 May '05

Hi, Today I see that the supplementary KDE release area of my chosen SuSE mirror (<ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.3/yas…>) contains Kat 0.5.3. However, there is no mention of such a release on the Kat home page (<http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=22135>)! There is a mention of a bug whose fix will be included in an upcoming 0.5.3 release. I guess this means someone at SuSE is fond of Kat... Does anyone here know how these "supplementary" releases are managed and who (organizationally) has the responsibility for producing them? By the way, should anyone be tempted to run the version 0.5.3, you might want to hold off. It just crashed for me with a SIGSEGV while indexing. 0.5.2 may have hung while indexing, but it didn't crash and you could save a partial index after canceling the stalled indexing operation. Thanks. Randall Schulz

Dual head on an ATI9600 and SuSE9.3???
by Clayton 25 May '05

25 May '05

Has anyone managed to get dualhead working with SuSE9.3 using an ATI 9600 video card? I've been fighting with it for a while now... and not getting anywhere. System config: AMDx64 3000+ ATI9600 video (Identified as RV350 AS) I've installed the fglrx drive and the kernel modules as the intructions say on the SuSE ftp site. I've got the fglrx driver working with one monitor just fine. When I try to setup dual monitor it fails miserably. It tries to start X and fails... back to the command line.

9.3 Pro Headless Install Possible?
by Scott Leighton 25 May '05

25 May '05

I've done some googling on headless installs and have only been able to find references to SLES having that capability by using pxe and VNC. Does anyone know whether or not it is possible to do a headless install of 9.3 Pro, and if so, where there might be a howto on the subject?

desktop icons problem
by Radule Soskic 25 May '05

25 May '05

I just installed 9.3 on my computer. It was new installation but without /home partition formating (the previous system was 9.2 fully kernel and KDE updated) I updated my new installation via yast and installed a number of packages... I can not recall when, but sometime during this update/install process, my desktop icons started to behave strangely: "trash", "my computer" and "network browsing" don't work anymore. They just display "Malformed URL" error messages, with the respective url named in the message ("trash:/", "media:/" or "remote:/")... When I enter any of the urls in konqueror url field they work... I compared the properties of all three icons with another computer (clean 9.3 install) and they appear identical. I created a new dummy user - the desktop icons work perfectly there! I checked file associations in control center - they seem to be correct, compared with the same on another comp. What can I do? I think of either deleting some (hidden) files/folders on my comp, or copying them from another user or computer, but I don't know what files or what folders... This is not a major problem - it is just an annoyance, but I am really curious to learn how this stuff works. Where is this particular bit of difference stored on my system, can it be repaired and how? TIA & best regards, cikasole

For example, HP servers commonly use Integrated Lights Out boards that let you re-direct the floppy & CD/DVD drive of your local PC to the remote server, at which point you hard remotely hard reset the box, and it will boot using installation disc in your PC. You can also hard reset the box and access the BIOS menu using this method. The nice part is you access their boxes through a web browser which makes is very easy to manage remote boxes ni any state. I've also used Avocent KVM's which will give you remote keyboard, mouse and screen access but not removable media re-direction which wouldn't be any good in this case. The datacenter may have some other method and many will install a base OS for you, although they usually specify what OS's they are willing to install. It may be worth asking them what options you have available, as this is not an OS issue if I understand correctly.

Folks, I seem to have got it working now by following an earlier suggestion of settings: YAST ---> hardware --> Printer Select Other(not Detected) and press Configure Select --> Print Directly to a Network Printer Select --> Direct TCP Port Printing My question now is the port defaults to 9100.

Samba column and row - page setup
by Chadley Wilson 25 May '05

25 May '05

Greetings, I am running a suse9.2 box no gui purely as a PC-Server, it has a dit matrix printer attached to it and it works just fine. The client has now requested the printer be able to print label sheets. The sheets are also continuous feed like the paper except there are labels with no gaps. There are 5 across the top IIRC and can't remember how many down, but anyway. I know that I will need to setup rows and columns in the page setup. Anyone here know how, or has read something thing that could assist me in setting up samba to do this sort of printing? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated, Thanks (I hope I have explained this well enough) -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================

Two-weekly (!) cronjobs on SUSE 9.1
by pelibali 25 May '05

25 May '05

Hi! I setup a folder named '/etc/cron.twoweekly' and put few scripts into it. To ensure the execution of these files, I made a modification to the '/etc/crontab' file and added the following line 29 21 14,28 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.twoweekly The extra two-weekly jobs I configured run well, except, that in case in the above timepoint my comp was not turned on, no retry happens after x minutes as it is the case for all of the original cron.hourly/daily/... stuff happens. Any idea how could get the wished effect and get the scripts run when next time my computer is switched on? Thanks, Pelibali

kscd with digital playback w 9.3
by Joe Morris (NTM) 25 May '05

25 May '05

I know this was discussed a while back, with no resolution. Has anyone found out how to get kscd working again in 9.3? It worked with 9.2 and kde 3.4 with digital extraction. I even tried rebuilding the src.rpm but no go. It seems it is not allowed to reach a backend. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris(a)ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871

usb-stick not mounted automatically 9.3
by FX Fraipont 24 May '05

24 May '05

I've just installed 9.3 on my wife's laptop. With 9.2, when she inserted her usb-stick, it was mounted automatically and a konqueror window opebed and showed the contents. With 9.3, it does not work any more. mount /dev/sda1 (or sdb1 sometimes) -t vfat /media/usbkey works, but she can't write as user to the usbkey, and this procedure is not practical anyway. How can I revert to the 9.2 type functionality? Thanks Fx

RE: [SLE] linux clock drift

>Is every 30 minutes not overdone? This was in response to the original poster. His machine would drift 52 minutes in an hour. For me, I need to maintain accuracy in the milliseconds. Especially, since I don't want to monitor when the clocks might start drifting apart, this was a quick solution, not necessarily the best solution. I am still searching for a fix for this problem. When I find it, I'll post the answer. ~James

OpenOffice_org1-1.1.3-4.2 released TWICE (?)
by pelibali 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hi, I couldn't find a logical explanation, maybe someone could help me to understand the situation: Last month the youpdated version '1.1.3-4.2' of OpenOffice_org1 was released and few days ago '1.1.3-4.3' appeared on the mirrors. Until this point everything seems be fine, but while comparing the .spec files of the above source rpms, interestingly only a single line, containing the version numbers differs in them. Is there an explanation to release the same YOU update actually twice with different version numbers or do I miss something? Thanks, Pelibali

Hi Johannes, I was refering to the /etc/cups/ppd directory. It is empty for me. The /usr/share/cups/model does contain zipped .ppd files. Is this how it should be? After configuring the HP print server, it (yast) does not ask me anything about the actual printer. Do I need to go a second time through yast to configure it?

Enabling printing??
by Rich Goodwin 24 May '05

24 May '05

I upgraded from 9.2 to 9.3 a month ago. Printing to my Epson C86 worked perfectly under 9.2. When I installed (sorry - did not upgrade) 9.3, the printer was recognized and it looked like the print queue was setup. I just tried to print but things failed. I played with the firewall settings but have not enabled printing. Can someone clarify what needs to be done to the firewall?? I presume it's the firewall since I found references to this being a stumbling block.

strange keyboard behaviour with TightVNC
by Sunny 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hi, I have SuSE 9.1 Pro, with KDE 3.4. I have enabled remote sessions in KDE. Now, from my Win2K machine, using putty to tunnel 5901 port, and after that ThighVNC as client, I see very strange behaviour - whenever I want to type "$" - dollar sign, I get "4". CAPS, Shift, nothing works. No dollar sign at all. This is the only key which does not work, all other !@#%^&*() work OK with Shift pressed, but not the $. It happens in every program I start under KDE, even in the terminal window. But, if I type it in the putty text terminal, it works. Any suggestions? Cheers Sunny

[SLE] Random freezes, even after installing other distro!
by Guus de Bruijn 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hi all, I've been using 9.3 now for a while, but it's unusable, due to random lockups/freezes. The problems started after a clean install of 9.3. The system crashes at completely random times (using KDE as window manager). When the systems freezes, I'm unable to switch to another runlevel, and the music hangs. My Windows XP doesn't show this kind of behaviour, so I think it isn't a problem with hardware. I've installed today Fedora Core 3 with KDE 3.3, but the freezing problem was still there. Is it a problem with the kernel? With KDE? I dunno. I'm now quite desperate, because I absolutely don't now how to tackle this problem! My specs: AMD Athlon 64 2800+ 1024 MB Ram Sapphire Radeon 9600 Gigabyte K8VT800 Pro Mainbord Thanks in advance, Guuzjo

USB disk hotplug sync mounting
by Jan Romportl 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hello everyone, could you please give me an advice how to solve the following problem: I've got an external 200GB Maxtor USB harddisk. In SUSE 9.3 it is automatically mounted as a subfs hotplug device to /media/usb_disk. It is mounted with synchronous acces (i.e. sync option for mount). However, this sync causes that the writing speed can be only 2MB/s with 100% cpu load (it normally writes about 20MB/s). In SUSE 9.2 I figured out that when it is mounted without sync, the performance is OK (i.e. 20MB/s writing). I have modified /etc/hotplug/hotplug.subfs.functions (i.e. deleted 'sync' from the mounting line there) and after that all worked fine. But in SUSE 9.3 (which I currently use) no matter what I change in /etc/hotplug/hotplug.subfs.functions, the USB disk is always mounted 'sync' (with that horrible writing performance). I understand that it's got something to do wit HAL, but I desperately need to mount the USB disk without sync. Can anyone tell me how to do that? (or even better - how to make sync mounted usb disk write faster than 2MB/s?) Thank you very much in advance Jan Romportl

ATI Radeon VE and OpenGL
by Steven T. Hatton 24 May '05

24 May '05

I'm having a problem with a program I wrote using OpenSceneGraph and OpneGL. The program builds a 3D tree of arrows with n branches from each parent branch and m levels of branching. Note: what I call a branch, other often call a subtree. Birds don't sit on subtrees, they sit on branches. When I build the tree with more than 3 levels of branching, it locks up then either fails like a nice application and gives me back my display, or locks up various subsystems sometimes to the point where the only option is the on/off I/O device, i.e., can't ssh in. The program runs fine on XP. On SuSE 9.2, running on the same box, I receive the following errors: "Warning... Video Sync not working correctly" (from Producer) and "radeonWaitIrq: drmRadeonIrqWait: -16" from who knows. One suggestion I received was that I might have something from Mesa installed that I don't need. Is there such thing as a Mesa video driver that could be substituted with an ATI driver? Here's all the relevant configuration info I can think of. The box is a P4 2.4 with an intel MB, and a gig of RAM. Not that the fglrx README does not specifically name my hardware as supported, but the problem happens whether that is installed or not. Any suggestions as to what I might to to fix this? ljosalfr:~ # hwinfo --gfxcard 18: PCI(AGP) 100.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.273] Unique ID: VCu0.G_wQWNYi3c6 Parent ID: vSkL.HMrCSWFGDg0 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:01:00.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "PC Partner RV100 QY [Sapphire Radeon VE 7000]" Vendor: pci 0x1002 "ATI Technologies Inc" Device: pci 0x5159 "Radeon VE" SubVendor: pci 0x174b "PC Partner Limited" SubDevice: pci 0x7112 "RV100 QY [Sapphire Radeon VE 7000]" Driver: "radeon" Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff (rw,prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0xc800-0xc8ff (rw) Memory Range: 0xff8f0000-0xff8fffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xff8c0000-0xff8dffff (ro,prefetchable,disabled) IRQ: 11 (234010 events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Driver Info #0: XFree86 v4 Server Module: radeon Driver Info #1: XFree86 v4 Server Module: radeon 3D Support: yes Color Depths: 16 Extensions: dri Options: Config Status: cfg=yes, avail=yes, need=yes, active=unknown Attached to: #11 (PCI bridge) Primary display adapter: #18 ################################################################ ljosalfr:~ # 3Ddiag 3Ddiag version 0.722 Verifying 3D configuration: Using 3dinfo ************************************************************ Verifying 3D configuration for 3D board "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon VE (1002@5159)": Tests for X.Org configuration: Config File /etc/X11/XF86Config ... done.

hotplug & its mount point
by John Sowden 24 May '05

24 May '05

I would like to plug in a usb memory stick, or a usb hard drive and know in advance where it is going to mount, extactly. My backup and archive programs check to make sure the correct removable device is installed (using dosemu) and DVD-RAM media, sparq media and ubb sticks. I cannot do this under linux without knowing the mount point of the device. I am running suse 8.2. I like to put my external media in a directory called /media. I would like to name the device, especially the mem sticks, as I have several and I could put a label on the device. Alse, since I use different encryption keys for different pieces of media (not type), ID becomes an issue. I checks man pages, info pages, admin manual in the suse help. none address this issue. tia --- John Sowden American Sentry Systems. Inc. 1221 Andersen Drive San Rafael, CA 94901 U.L.
