Panorama Tools

Has anyone got the software from http://www.path.unimelb.edu.au/~dersch/ working? A functional RPM? I have been battling for three days with sources, libraries, dependencies and shit to get the PTEditor and others to work. But so far nothing works! Yes! I know hugin exists, and no it doesnt help me as it is far to inaccurate some of the times. (The panoramas are faulty) I havent found any concice pages to follow for install instructions. Nor have the readme and install files helped either I run a 9.2 system updated with apt so most (if not all) libraries and such should be up to date. In short: HELP!!!

Can't get my Audigy2 card to work right with Suse Professional 9.3...
by Braun Brelin 07 Aug '05

Hello all, I'm running Suse Linux on my AMD Athlon 64 system. When I try to do a modprobe snd-emu10k1 I get the following error: WARNING: Error inserting snd_hwdep (/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-20a-default/kernel/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting snd_emu10k1 (/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-20a-default/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) I'm guessing that the driver i have (downloade dfrom the ALSA web site) isn't compatible with my version of Suse Linux??? Note that I'm running the 32 bit version of Suse Linux on my 64 bit system if that makes a difference. I've also loaded the AC97 driver for my onboard sound card but I'm trying to set up both sound systems and switch back and forth between them. Is this do-able? Thanks, Braun Brelin

SuSE 9.2 on dual AMD with 4GB crashes
by Jan Wielemaker 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Hi, I just upgraded my machine from 2 to 4 GB main memory and now get bad crashes as soon as memory starts to fill up above the 2GB limit. A rather short run with memtest86 (1 hour) reveils no problems. System details: SuSE 9.2 Professional Stock kernel from kernel-smp-2.6.8-24.17 Tyan S2466 motherboard Original BIOS (can I get the version from Linux?) 2 AMD 1600+ CPUs (AthlonMP) 4*Kinston 1GB modules (KVR266X72RC25L/1G) Matrox 450 video card Soundblaster live audio Kernel says system has 3.7GB main memory, which is about as expected. It produces crashes in applications (gcc internal errors on code that compiles fine with only 2GB main memory) as well as kernel oopses and total freeze. My most important question is whether this is almost certainly a hardware problem or whether there are known problems with this kernel on this type of hardware and 4GB (system is rock-solid on 2GB). Any ideas? --- Jan

Can't find TFM, voice-mail and fax
by Simon Roberts 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Hi all, looking at the contents of yast, I believe I can configure my system to provide voice mail and fax services. Unfortunately I've totally drawn a blank trying to find any documentation on either idea. The config screens that are presented for these features in yast don't really mean a lot to me either. I've searched for fax, voice, and answer in the admin guide, user guide, and with apropos, and can't find anything that makes clear sense. "vbox" looks like it's for ISDN, but I'm using a normal phone line with a modem, so that's wrogn, right? Any pointers, can I do this, and if so, how? TIA, Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions."

BlueTooth GPRS internet
by Andre Truter 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

I have a Nokia 6600 phone and I have previously (about a year ago) managed to use it to connect my laptop to the internet via the Bluetooth interface. Now I am trying to do it again, but I get a weird failure. When I try to bring the ppp interface, I get the following error: Failed to open /dev/rfcomm0: No route to host I have checked and the laptop can ping the phone over the bluetooth interface with l2ping: --<snip>-- # l2ping 00:0E:6D:5D:4C:9A Ping: 00:0E:6D:5D:4C:9A from 00:0F:B3:91:13:D8 (data size 20) ... 0 bytes from 00:0E:6D:5D:4C:9A id 0 time 43.54ms 0 bytes from 00:0E:6D:5D:4C:9A id 1 time 17.62ms 0 bytes from 00:0E:6D:5D:4C:9A id 2 time 28.54ms --<snip>-- The rfcomm device is up: --<snip>-- # rfcomm -a rfcomm0: 00:0F:B3:91:13:D8 channel 1 clean --<snip>-- I googled for the error an only found two references to it, but one is in Polish and the other in Russian and the translators I tried failed to translate it into anything that makes sense. Any idea what could be wrong?

IP aliasing

This is a repost from SLES list: HTH wrote: >The "ifconfig" and "route" commands deprecated to some degree and the use of >"ip" in their place is encouraged. You may want to have a look at what >"ip link show" and "ip addr list" tell you instead. And what would be the proper way of making virtual aliases created with 'ip' permanent (survive reboot)? Anyone? -- Warm regards, Michael Green

Printing fails under 9.3
by Ulrich Leopold 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Dear list, I am trying to print under 9.3 over the network. The printer seems to be configured correctly as I can print test pages from the YAST printer configuration interface. But I cannot print as a user or as root later. lpr and lp do not work. Strangely enough, I can send test pages from the from the gnome cups manager as a user??? How can I check where the printjobs do go to or disappear? Any ideas how to solve this problem in general?? Thanks for your help. Ulrich

Public yum repository now available for suse
by Richard Bos 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

The awesome server gwdg.de is doing it again, this time providing a yum repository for suse93-i386. It provides all the goodies that we already know from the apt server, but the security component. You can find the repository at: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-i386/yum/ Don't ask me how to configure yum for it, I don't know. But for sure there are others that know this :) -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Reiserfs corrupting on IDE HD with 9.3 (and not 9.2)
by Carl E. Hartung - SuSE Mail List Account 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Hi All, I've got a Reiserfs file system corruption problem happening here with 9.3 :-( I know it's related to 9.3 since 9.2 doesn't skip a beat on this hardware. To make sure, I reinstalled 9.2 and ran it again for three days without a symptom, However, after installing 9.3 (this is my 3rd time) within an hour of running YOU I start noticing little 'ticks' in the file system like this one I just found in /usr/bin: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 77872 2005-08-03 20:58 ./ drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 344 2005-08-03 17:08 ../ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24916 2005-03-19 15:28 [* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8818 2005-03-22 06:12 3Ddiag* <snip> If it follows the same pattern this time around, the system won't be bootable in another hour or two and I'll need to reinstall 9.3 again. I'd appreciate some more enlightened ideas about the best approach for narrowing down the possibilities. TIA & regards, - Carl --
