flashplayer plugin problem?
by Carl Hartung 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Hi everybody, Could I please get some feedback regarding a simple animation? (FYI, it's a "Floodle"; a nonsensical, amusing doodle in Flash that serves no real purpose other than to amuse.) I've uploaded the file here: <http://www.cehartung.com/images/ceh-ball-bounce.swf> It played through just fine in my SuSE 9.2 setup, but now stops soon after loading in every browser I have in 9.3 and 10.0 beta 2. (Konqueror, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera.) Also, it plays fine in all the testing browsers I've got on the M$ boxes (Opera, Netscape, Firefox, Exploder...) I'm wondering if I've somehow screwed up my plugins? Ideas? Thx! - Carl

Re: [SLE] Order of items in /etc/fstab
by Adam Vazquez Kb2jpd Mobile w/ Treo 20 Aug '05

Guess it is time to hit the source code. The mission critical entries in /etc/fstab go first. If the system is truly depended on a partition, it is within the first four partitions /,/boot,swap,and an 'other'. All user installations' partitions use a / entry, and most of them have a swap partition unless it is an embedded system. Most conventional installations have access to a alien partition. Thats seems most obvious.

Is there any fixed set of rules that determines what order the entries of /etc/fstab should be in? Is it okay if /foo/bar is mounted as /tea/cup before /foo is mounted as /coffee? Is it okay if /foo is mounted as /tea/cup before /koo is mounted as /tea? Other such superficially-conflict-looking examples? Thanks for your patience. --

It has to be some SUSE problem because with Mandriva 2006 I had no problem with sound on NX6110. Problems are with SUSE 9.3 and OpenSUSE. juraj

Re: [SLE] DMA killed IDE disk
by Adam Vazquez Kb2jpd Mobile w/ Treo 20 Aug '05

Did you format the disk by its own IDE controller prior to the SuSE installation? IDE is run by the microprocessor and thus a pulled hard disk can lose data when going i/o. Don't you still have the original SCSI drive with the data? Either get a SCSI controller install it to the new machine or get a replacement new IDE drive and redo the data transfer. And someone should do a true backup. Adam -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Stringer <qube(a)firstnet.co.uk> Subj: [SLE] DMA killed IDE disk Date: Sat Aug 20, 2005 11:41 am Size: 1K To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com I've got an old Compaq ML370 server with SCSI disks and RAID 5. The operating system (red hat 7.2) had died so I was asked to rebuild the machine with Suse 9.3 So I copied using rsync the entire SCSI drive over to a 120GB IDE disk. Flattened the machine and installed Suse. Everything went well, mounted the IDE disk and wanted to restore the data. However the IDE disk was performing really slow as DMA mode wasn't enabled. I had 70GB worth of websites to restore ASAP as customer was offline, I didn't want it to take forever. Opened YaST and enabled DMA. However when the server rebooted it complained that the IDE disk couldn't be mounted, concluded it must be due to the DMA mode so switched it back off and rebooted it again. Still couldn't mount it. Ran FSCK but it couldn't see a filesystem, ran fsck.reiserfs which told me to use the --rebuild-tables switch. Done this but the contents of the disk have been destroyed in the process. I'm in the shit now as the customer has lost 300000 pictures that weren't backed up (their fault for no backup). However, although I've learned not use do this again in the future, it would be nice to know why this simple function was able to destroy the contents like that!

MIDISport Uno
by Bill M. 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

I have a M-Audio MIDISport-Uno, have unpacked the midisport_firmware-0.5 and copied the Windows driver loader, USB11LDR.SYS, from an archive on this PC into the same directory, I also made a fresh copy from a Windows XP box across the network. My SuSE 9.4 Pro has hotplugged and recognized the MIDISport Uno, but has not configured it. (It's found in hardware list and the SuSE Hardware Tool reports it.) I ran make install as root and recvd the following output: cc extractfirmware.c -o extractfirmware ./extractfirmware processing USB11LDR.SYS ... invalid PE header offset make: *** [install] Error 1 Is the USB11LDR.SYS file mangled and that's the error? I also made a backup copy and then edited the /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap file -- it was already commented out completely. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! TIA. -*-Bill

Weird Samba problem in SUSE 9.3
by Kenneth Payne 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

I've just upgraded my SuSE 9.0 machine to SusE 9.3 and something has gone wrong with my samba functionality. Under SuSE 9.0, my machine worked great as both a samba client and a samba server. Now that I've upgraded I have a strange problem as a samba client. I find that smbclient hangs when I try to access files on a particular Windows XP share. The oddest thing is that I can access other shares on the same XP machine. I also have no problems accessing shares on a windows 98 machine on the same network. Just to make it doubly weird, my SUSE 9.2 machine upstairs can access the trouble-causing Windows XP share with no problem. Here's some diagnotic output: ******** first check service ***************** kmp@ravenclaw:~> smbclient -L hp Password: Domain=[HP] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- hppsc120 Printer hp psc 1200 series IPC$ IPC Remote IPC print$ Disk Printer Drivers SharedDocs Disk SHP Files Disk transfer Disk Optimise Disk Domain=[HP] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- *************** now get content of a directory **************** kmp@ravenclaw:~> smbclient //hp/SharedDocs Password: Domain=[HP] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] smb: \> dir .

My 9.3 machine still works absolutely fine as a samba server. Any ideas on this? Is this some conflict caused by upgrading from 9.0 to 9.3? Or is it some obscure firewall problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks - Ken
