CUPS
by Fred A. Miller 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Something I noticed since getting 9.3, but failed to report is that CUPS takes near 100% of the processor when printing. This is extraordinary, and HASN'T happened in previous releases from SUSE, or at least I don't remember it. Is there a fix, or am I the only one who has the problem?

cups periodically "freezes"
by Verdi March 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hi, on 9.3, cups periodically produces this error (in log file): Unable to accept client connection - Too many open files. AddCert: Unable to create certificate file /etc/cups/certs/0 - Too many open files When it happens, kprinter will freeze when trying to fetch the list of available printers (all are samba printers). I have to restart cups to be able to print. Any solution is appreciated.

RE: [SLE] ls segmentations fault on sles9, sp

a bit more info: sles9, service pack 2, fully patched. the files were restored using arcserve 11.1, and come from an xfs filesystem with acl's. reiser is also mounted with acl support. i can see the files through midnight commander, can even delete files/directories. touch and mkdir also work without problems in the affected directory.

ls segmentations fault on sles9, sp
by mourik jan heupink 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

dear list, I have a lvm volume mounted as /recycle with reiserfs. reiserfsck reports no problems on /dev/mapper/system-recycle. mounting works fine, using mc (midnight commander) i can browse through the directories, but 'ls' gives a segmentation fault. Never seen this! (and this is on my production machine....) it's a brand new sles9 install, only packages from suse cdroms, and the directory in question is a restore from tape. (originally the files were on xfs, and now on reiser) Anyone ANY ideas?? (as this is my production machine, this is a bit urgent...) Yours, Mourik Jan

Can't install SuSE 9.3, need help
by Marc Chamberlin 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hump! A while back I attempted to upgrade my desktop from SuSE 9.1 to 9.2 and I failed to get the installation to work. I asked and got a few replies/suggestions from this group but eventually gave up and continued to use 9.1. Now that 9.3 is available I thought I would try again so I am trying to upgrade from SuSE 9.1 to 9.3. I just downloads the 5 CD iso image files for SuSE 9.3 installation (which took me 2 days!) I verified the md5 checksums were OK, using md5sum on each of the iso files. I then used K3b to make an iso9660 image copy from the downloaded iso files onto 5 cd disks. Then proceeded to do an installation to upgrade my SuSE 9.1 system to 9.3. I once again got no more than a minute into the installation process before encountering a major failure. Not a good time investment ratio!!! The first point of failure occurred when the installation program ask to do a media check. Here it calculates an md5 checksum for each CD disk and the very first one failed. Reading the short instructions supplied, I noted the instruction that I should have used the "pad option" when I created my CDs. (I wonder if the engineers at Novell/SuSE tested their installation procedures or even care about having a user friendly installation procedure? Sure would have been nice to have been TOLD this BEFORE I created the CDs, not afterward when I have already made the copies - during the installation process. Even better idea, don't make a user even care about such a thing as a "pad option"! Sigh....) So I go back to the K3b utility I used to create the CD's and I can find NOTHING regarding a "pad option" Can anyone help me here? (It has something to do with the empty space at the end of a CD, I gather, but beyond that I am just another poor user wanting to upgrade my SuSE installation, and I want to have a SIMPLE installation process to follow. I really DON'T want to become an expert on CD drives/utilities and have to figure out this sort of nonsense....) I decided to proceed with the installation anywise and skip the media check. Got asked to accept the license, select my language which seemed to work OK. When I did a standard installation, some screen then flashed quickly (probably the Installation Settings page) then it dropped out of the graphical interface back to the text screen (virtual console???) showing the output from the installation scripts. The last few lines were as follows- Initializing virtual console... Found a Linux console terminal on /dev/console (158 columns x 59 lines). /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.call: line 277: 2431 Killed y2base "$Y2_MODULE_NAME" $Y2_MODE_FLAGS $Y2_MODULE_ARGS $Y2_MODE $Y2_QT_ARGS cp: error while loading shared libraries: libac1.so.1: object file has no loadable segments mv: error while loading shared libraries: libac1.so.1: object file has no loadable segments awk: cmd. line:1: fatal error: internal error /sbin/inst_setup: line 254: 3626 Aborted awk '{ if($2 " /^\/var/) system("umount " $2) }' /proc/mounts and kaboom! my computer hangs and goes no more.... When I did an installation with the ACPI disabled and also with Safe Settings, I got to the Installation Settings page, see a bunch of hardware being probed and then kaboom! Computer hangs and goes no more.... I can't do anything this time, not even move the mouse cursor, so have to power off the computer and power it back on..... I ran the Memory Test, nothing reported any errors. Whats up docs? Anyone got a clue as to what/why/how I should proceed? Please consider me a relatively new Linux user, NOT and expert! So keep the geek speak to a dull roar and don't assume I will understand the lingo.... - a rather frustrated user who is still stuck with 9.1 and really needs to upgrade but cannot afford a new computer right now... Marc....

compile error.
by mikael persson 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hello list, am slowly getting more and more familiar with linux. But this compile business still is quite hard to get my head around. Could anyone maybe tell me how to solve this one: ---------- checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! ---------- I am very confused by it. I am running KDE so shouldn't it be fine? Or is there something I can do to make it happy? Are there some websites out there that goes into a bit more detail about how the compilation business works? Or is that a programmer degree I am lacking? Mikael (linux newborn)

Looking for a network clipboard that works..
by Michael W Cocke 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Does anyone know of a network clipboard app that is KNOWN to work? I've tried a dozen of them in the last few days and haven't found anything that works consistantly. I used to have one written in tcl/tk but I've lost the file and can't locate it on the net. SuSE 9.3, KDE optionally, but console windows a must. Thanks! Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.
