Install from Boot Floppies
by Andy Coleman 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

I'm trying to install 9.2 on an older machine that doesn't have a cdrom drive so I downloaded the floppy boot disks and module disks from the suse ftp site. In ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2 I only see bootdisk1 bootdisk2 and bootdisk3 Every time I try to install I get to a certain point that asks me for bootdisk4. I've tried 1, 2, and 3 at this point and also the module disks to no avail. I googled and found absolutely nothing helpful. Has anyone seen this silliness?

How to deactivate SuSEPlugger and SuSEWatcher on GNOME startup
by Mike Béla 04 Jun '05

04 Jun '05

The SuSEPlugger and SuSEWatcher services can be easily deactivated in KDE sessions, but not in GNOME (SuSE 9.3). The new GNOME login automatically starts these services. What scripts should be edited to deactivate them?

tg3 Drivers for Broadcom Network Cards on Dell 2650 and 6650 Servers.
by Ben Higginbottom 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hello all, Has anyone had any recent issues with the tg3 driver on the hardware of either of these servers (all running various revisions of the 2.4 kernel). specifically with auto negotiation and crashes caused by it. Or is the bcm5700 driver still the better option? Alternatively am I better off ripping out the cards and sticking in something that uses the e1000 driver. Thanks, Ben

cable modem
by James F. Pirtle 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hello List; My SuSE 9.1 thinks it is on a 56K dial up modem. It is really hooked up to Warner Cable's Road Runner service. Any suggestion on the best way to get the correct setup? The current modem is a Toshiba PCX 1000 and there is a Linksys cable DSL router between the box and the modem. Not married to either piece of equipment and could change if necessary. Thanks in advance. -- "God bless us everyone."

KSCD cdda not working in 9.3
by Joe Morris (NTM) 03 Jun '05

I am still trying to track down why cdda does not work in 9.3. I am hoping some of you more programmer types can help. Here are the relevant config.log entries, followed with the results. BTW, this is on a x86_64 computer, but I know it also affects i586 as well. configure:41058: checking if kscd can be compiled configure:41068: result: yes configure:41084: checking for CDDA configure:41119: checking pthread.h usability configure:41131: gcc -c -ansi -W -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT conftest.c >&5 configure:41137: $? = 0 configure:41141: test -z || test ! -s conftest.err configure:41144: $? = 0 configure:41147: test -s conftest.o configure:41150: $? = 0 configure:41160: result: yes configure:41164: checking pthread.h presence configure:41174: gcc -E -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT conftest.c configure:41180: $? = 0 configure:41200: result: yes configure:41235: checking for pthread.h configure:41242: result: yes configure:41281: gcc -c -ansi -W -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT conftest.c >&5 In file included from /usr/include/asm-x86_64/byteorder.h:31, from /usr/include/asm/byteorder.h:4, from /usr/include/linux/cdrom.h:14, from conftest.c:104: /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:43: error: syntax error before "__cpu_to_le64p" /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h: In function `__cpu_to_le64p': /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:45: error: `__le64' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:45: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:45: error: for each function it appears in.) /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h: At top level: /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:47: error: syntax error before '*' token /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h: In function `__le64_to_cpup': /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:49: error: `p' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h: At top level: /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:67: error: syntax error before "__cpu_to_be64p" /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h: In function `__cpu_to_be64p': /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:69: error: `__be64' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:69: error: syntax error before "__swab64p" /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h: At top level: /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:71: error: syntax error before '*' token /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h: In function `__be64_to_cpup': /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:73: error: `p' undeclared (first use in this function) conftest.c: In function `main': conftest.c:111: warning: implicit declaration of function `ioctl' /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h: In function `__cpu_to_be64p': /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:67: warning: unused parameter `p' configure:41287: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ Result in config.h //* Define if you will CDDA support in kscd *// //* #undef BUILD_CDDA *// //* Define if you have cdparanoia installed *// #define CDDA_PARANOIA 1 Since it is not defined, it does not compile and therefore kscd is not compiled with cdda support, which is why digital extraction is not working in 9.3's kscd. The little_endian.h problems may be the problem as far as I can see, which is quite different than 9.2 little_endian.h, but that is perhaps the limit of my ability.

SuSE x86_64 and java
by Phil Savoie 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Hi All, Just installed by boxed 9.2 on my AMD 64 platform and was surprised to notice java was not integrated with mozilla as is on the i386 install I have running on another of my platforms. Sure would like to see java working here but not sure what's up. Could anyone please lend a hand? Thanks in advance, Phil
