Suse 9.3 Threads (Linux or NPTL) question
by Adolph Weidanz 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Now that I've switched emails, hopefully this goes through.. I posted it in alt.os.linux.suse, but if I can this through it probably belongs here instead... I was reading this months issue of Dr. Dobb's and they have an interesting (at least for me ;^) article on Linux threads. So I went my development machine and did the test they provided. According to the program they had in the listing (tested the thread PID with the process PID) and it reported that I was running with LinuxThreads however when I : getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION I got NPTL 2.3.4. Specs: gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.5/specs Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr - --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info - --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java,ada - --disable-checking --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-libgcj --with-slibdir=/lib - --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit i586-suse-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) glibc ver 2.3.4-23.4 kernel 2.6.11.4-21.7-default KDEVELOP 3.2.1 KDE 3.4.1 level "a" with -lpthread as a compile option checking Glibc /lib/libc.so.6 reports that it is using linuxthreads. when I set the CFLAGS to -pthread -l/usr/include//nptl -L/usr/lib/nptl and compile I still get that it is using the linuxthreads and not nptl. I found one thread on another subject where they said that if I was using the i586 version of glibc it would use LinuxThreads instead of NPTL. To get around this they said to use the i686 version. Problem is I am already using it. Am I missing something.. Or totally missing the point??? - -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes ?To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.?

YaST keeps asking about dual monitors on every system restart.
by Magr 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

At every system restart YaST asking me about "Video settings". Everything is in order, and all what I have to do is press "Enter". I wouldn't ask such question if it was once after setting "Dual monitors" ... but it keeps asking every restart. How to get rid of these questions every restart ??? Thanks in advance.

27 Jul '05

Hello, Is anyone on this list familiar with Open Exchange server? I want to replace Exchange 5.5 with OE, however I still need shared contacts & Calendar for our sales staff, who will still be using Outlook. If OE can do this then I would abandon MS Exch quicker than quick. Exchange has been the bane of my IT existence. Thank you, ~James

Re: [SLE] Does anybody know if this system will work with SuSE 9.3?

So if you have a technical problem with your HP desktop, then ask HP... that's standard fare from my experiences. I didn't see any 'NewEgg' brand pc's which on the other hand I would expect them to support. I'd suggest you visit the manufacturers' website to check for SuSE compatibilty, else check the SuSE 9.3 hardware compatibility list against the components inside the name brand box you're going to buy, although asking this list is always going to be beneficial as well! Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see the problem with newegg.com vs any other online discount reseller... Most do DOA only and rely purely on the original equipment makers warranty apart from what's required by law. SteveC

Help with NFS
by Donald D Henson 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

(SuSE Linux 9.3 Pro) I'm trying to set up a Linux-only network to use the Network File System (NFS). The description of NFS sounds like just what I need but I'm having problems trying to set up an NFS server. I've seen the note in the SuSE admin manual stating that I need to have a DNS so I decided to try to set that up first. YaST says I need something called a "forwarder". My first problem. I have no idea what a forwarder is and referencing the SuSE admin manual was no help. Can someone explain to me what a "forwarder" is? Some other questions. I assume that DNS requires static IP addresses. Is that true? If so, how can I reconcile that with DHCP? If not, how do I tell DNS that I'm using DHCP? In short... I am completely lost in the terminology and processes needed to set up NFS. Can someone point me to a starting point and give me a few pointers on how to proceed. I will sincerely appreciate any assistance. -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules

kprinter or me - Who is to blame?
by Alfredo Cole 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

Hi: Ok. I did it again. I changed kprinter's system options and left the server and port blank for the cups configuration. Now kprinter tries to start the cups server everytime I call it, and it will hang forever. Needless to say, it won't print. Anybody knows where kprinter stores it's configuration so I can restore that information? Thank you. -- Alfredo J. Cole Grupo ACyC

[SLE] NFS install of 9.3 from downloaded FTP directory
by Ubence Quevedo 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

I am having some problems doing an NFS install of SuSE 9.3. I've done plenty of NFS installs with both SuSE and RedHat and have never had any problems. I've downloaded all of the files off of an ftp mirror [ftp.oregonstate.edu] I downloaded all the files that I thought were necessary [all the files at the top level of the 9.3 directory, the boot, docu, dosutils, media.1, and suse directories]. I did not however not download the nosrc, src, and x86_64 directories because I didn't see them on the .iso files, plus I don't need the 64-bit files because it is a 32-bit system. I'm not using the .iso files because PostgreSQL is not included. I put the files on another system, shared out the directory to the world with read rights, and connect to the NFS share just fine to do the install, it is when it comes to the graphical part where it tells you what it is going to do with your system is that it says it can't find the installation files. I have the i586, i686, noarch, and setup directories in a suse directory that resides in the NFS share. Isn't this all that I need? I'm not entirely certain what I should be looking for, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You -Ubence

Console and X-term differences??
by david rankin 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Ok, Mates, I have a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway. What is the basic difference between a "konsole" window and an "x-terminal" window in KDE? Seems like they behave pretty much the same to me. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

MPlayer on SuSE 9.3
by Robert Paulsen 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

I downloaded MPlayer from packman but get the following when I try to install it... # rpm -ivh MPlayer-1.0pre7-pm.2.i686.rpm warning: MPlayer-1.0pre7-pm.2.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5f6842a4 error: Failed dependencies: liblzo.so.1 is needed by MPlayer-1.0pre7-pm.2 libmad.so.0 is needed by MPlayer-1.0pre7-pm.2 libmp3lame.so.0 is needed by MPlayer-1.0pre7-pm.2 I can't find all these dependencies on the SuSE DVD. There is an lzo package that might satisfy the first dependency but I can't find anything at all on the other two. Any advice? Thanks, Bob
