Sour wine in SuSE 9.3
by eddieleprince 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

What the latest with wine? After reading an article about wine, I decided to give it a try (I have played with it in the past). Running wine or winetools from the commandline I get: ls: /home/eddie/.wine/dosdevices/: No such file or directory rm: cannot remove `/home/eddie/.wine/dosdevices/f:': No such file or directory no wine directory found... trying to create one wine: creating configuration directory '/home/eddie/.wine'... What is created is .wine-HqL3jh or something similar for each instance that wine or winetools is run. Renaming .wine-HqL3jh to .wine didn't seem to help. When I attempt to run a program e.g. wine notepad.exe nothing happens. Does anyone know what's going on or have a fix for it? Thanks Eddie

Linux-ABI with SuSE 9.3
by Coach-X 06 Jul '05

Does anyone know if SuSE 9.3 still supports Linux-ABI. The info for Linux-ABI is still listed in /etc/modprobe.conf but most of the modules are not there.

PHP & Oracle 10g on SuSE 9.3
by Chuck Carson 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

I have been told that php works with oracle 10.1.0.3, however I can't get it to work nor find anyone that has it working on SuSE 9.[123]. Is anyone here using php 5.0.x with oracle 10.1.0.3 on SuSE 9.3? The error I get is a call to undefined function Ora_Logon. (It also fails when tying to use OCILogon). It compiles cleanly, the output of phpinfo shows oci8 support enabled, the libphp5.so library shows it is correctly linked with the oracle client library. Anyone have any ideas or know if something is broken on 9.3 that could be causing this? Thx, CC

Compiling Courier authlib on Suse 9.2
by Rob Brandt 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

I'm attempting to get courier-imap & maildrop with mysql authentication compiled and installed through an rpm on a new server, an AMD Opteron (x86_64). I am following the FAQ on creating an rpm on the courier web site using the latest version of all files, however I am getting a dependency failure on openldap. This is on courier-authlib. I have "openldap2" properly installed from the SuSE server. So it seems to me that I have either a newer version than what's required, or my version is simply named differently than what courier expects. I'm tempted to comment out the openldap stuff in the .spec file, but the docs warn against this. I will not be using openldap, only mysql authentication. What to do? I haven't done much rpm work before... Thanks Rob

OT Memory question(s)
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

Running 9.3 on my Pentium II and KDE is still a satisfactory experience. I have some memory added to my main board and have heavily used the memory test program because I had the idea that some of the memory was defect. Memory test has run over an extended period and indeed it seemed that I had a defect in one of the memory chips. Rearranging the memory chips gave me although a total different result. Suddenly the memory banks seem to be free of defects. Is that possible? Can it be that somewhere in the three memory banks there is some small defect? I am a little bit troubled. Especially after the new arrangement the 256M chip only seems to show 128 M. Together with the 128M chip and a 32M chip it gives now a total of 288M, slightly lower than the 256M and 60 M from the chip which was shown as defect. As the 256 chip is newly bought I will exchange this chip with a new one (guarantee) but I would like to know if I have overlooked something.

Only the usb floppy - wierd I know. Thanks to everyone who gave this problem any thought at all. The solution is . . . ftp the SUSE 9.1 boot and module disks Boot from said disks only have the suse 9.3 cd in the cdrom drive. It is going a little slow, but it is installing away as I write. I tried the bootdisk from 9.3 on three other computers and they don't seem to work on anything. If all my hardware is that picky then something is still wrong. I used linux back when slackware was the only game in town. I also used SUSE a lot back around 6.5, but switched away because of work. Must admit I almost gave up on this and went with debian. Not that there is anything wrong with either, I just wanted to give SUSE a try again and I am glad to say it looks like I am going to get my chance. My Mandrake 9.2 box will become a debian box in a couple months. First I have to figure out how to replace caps on the mother board - it is always something. Rafe

Qt version issue.
by mikael persson 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

[complete linux-newbie alert] Hello list, I am trying to install the latest version of kaffeine in hope of being able to watch DVDs and other avi formats. But it complains over a Qt error: ------------------------------------ checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. ------------------------------------ the config.log doesn't tell me much really. Strange thing is that YAST claims that that version of Qt is installed. I've also tried installing the latest Qt version from trolltech. But that install gives me some serious errors. ------------------------------------ ../../src/corelib/tools/qbytearray.h:386: internal compiler error: in pop_binding, at cp/decl.c:1433 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://www.suse.de/feedback> for instructions. The bug is not reproduceable, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem gmake[3]: *** [.obj/release-shared/qtextdocumentfragment.o] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/download/qt-x11-opensource-desktop-4.0.0/src/gui' gmake[2]: *** [release-all] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/download/qt-x11-opensource-desktop-4.0.0/src/gui' gmake[1]: *** [sub-gui-all-ordered] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/download/qt-x11-opensource-desktop-4.0.0/src' gmake: *** [sub-src-all-ordered] Error 2 ------------------------------------ Anyone out there that can shed some light on this issue? Before the attempted install of kaffeine I installed the latest xine version. Or would I be better off using VLC instead? I am running suse9.2 and have yet to update to the latest kernel. cheers, Mikael [/complete linux-newbie alert]
