Types.h Possible Bug?
by Ryan Kather 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Greetings, I am witnessing a conflict of opinions between /usr/include/sys/types.h and /usr/include/linux/types.h while trying to build a program with gcc (aireplay-ng). It appears that when the /usr/include/sys/types.h header is referenced make fails with errors that the type definitions are already defined (and different) within /usr/include/linux/types.h. Which header is correctly defining the data types? linux/types.h or sys/types.h ... why do they differ? This is occuring on a fully patched OpenSUSE 10.1 box. uname -r output 2.6.16.13-4-default. I have appended the compile failure below, but am not sure how to submit this as a bug (if it is a bug), as gcc bugs are preferred to exclude the headers, but it appears the headers may be the issue. Has anyone else experienced this? How should I proceed? Ryan Compile Failure: ---------------- gcc -g -W -Wall -O3 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 src/aireplay-ng.c src/common.c -o aireplay-ng In file included from src/aireplay-ng.c:27: /usr/include/sys/types.h:52: error: conflicting types for ‘ino_t’ /usr/include/linux/types.h:24: error: previous declaration of ‘ino_t’ was here /usr/include/sys/types.h:62: error: conflicting types for ‘dev_t’ /usr/include/linux/types.h:23: error: previous declaration of ‘dev_t’ was here /usr/include/sys/types.h:67: error: conflicting types for ‘gid_t’ /usr/include/linux/types.h:53: error: previous declaration of ‘gid_t’ was here /usr/include/sys/types.h:72: error: conflicting types for ‘mode_t’ /usr/include/linux/types.h:25: error: previous declaration of ‘mode_t’ was here /usr/include/sys/types.h:77: error: conflicting types for ‘nlink_t’ /usr/include/linux/types.h:26: error: previous declaration of ‘nlink_t’ was here/usr/include/sys/types.h:82: error: conflicting types for ‘uid_t’ /usr/include/linux/types.h:52: error: previous declaration of ‘uid_t’ was here /usr/include/sys/types.h:90: error: conflicting types for ‘off_t’ /usr/include/linux/types.h:27: error: previous declaration of ‘off_t’ was here In file included from /usr/include/sys/types.h:133, from src/aireplay-ng.c:27: /usr/include/time.h:105: error: conflicting types for ‘timer_t’ /usr/include/linux/types.h:32: error: previous declaration of ‘timer_t’ was hereIn file included from /usr/include/sys/types.h:220, from src/aireplay-ng.c:27: /usr/include/sys/select.h:78: error: conflicting types for ‘fd_set’ /usr/include/linux/types.h:22: error: previous declaration of ‘fd_set’ was here make: *** [aireplay-ng] Error 1

[opensuse] what is the suse support mailing list and webpage
by Chuck Payne 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hey, I got a question about the build in firewall, and I know if I ask it here, I will get pointed to the suse support mail list so if someone can get the link to it that would be great. I need to be able to block an ip, and I am wondering if the suse firewall will let me do that. Thanks, Payne -- Do you know why we fall Master Wayne...so we can learn to get up.

KVM switch?
by Greg Freemyer 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

I'm thinking of getting a GCS78 8-port KVM switch from Iogear. http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GCS78KIT&name=8-Port%20KVM%… Anyone have any first hand knowledge of the company or the switch. I'm going to have a mix of Windows and SUSE behind the switch. I'm hoping it will handle the mouse well enough that I can run X occasionally behind it, but I can live with CLI only. I definately need the mouse to work well in Windows. Thanks -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

[SLE] dependency issue with yum
by Don Bedsole 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hi, I decided to use yum for updates, at least temporarily, and it has been working ok. But over the past 2-3 days I have run into a problem. Here is the relevant part of the yum output: Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package NetworkManager.i586 0:0.6.2-32.11 set to be updated ---> Package cron.i586 0:4.1-45.3 set to be updated ---> Package syslog-ng.i586 0:1.6.8-20.3 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: dhcdbd >= 1.12-19 for package: NetworkManager --> Processing Dependency: sysconfig >= 0.50.9-13.3 for package: NetworkManager --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: dhcdbd >= 1.12-19 is needed by package NetworkManager Error: Missing Dependency: sysconfig >= 0.50.9-13.3 is needed by package NetworkManager Sure enough, yum is telling the truth. A check of my system reveals that my installed versions are: sysconfig: 0.50.9-13 dhcdbd 1.12-14.2 I am using SUSE 10.1 btw. Questions: Why have these two packages not been updated before? Is it possible that through an oversight, they were not added to the update repository? That's the only thing I can think of.

[opensuse] Installing 10.1 from CDs oddities
by BandiPat 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hi all, I'm throwing this out first to see if others have experienced the same thing, before I report it to bugzilla. When everyone first started to complain about 10.1 and the few problems it seemed to have, updater, missing proprietary kernel modules, etc., I suspected it was only the usual whining that came about from a new release with some changes. I think I may have to join the group though, if the latest experience I have had is the normal behavior. Let me try to explain. While trying to install 10.1 from the 6 CDs on a pretty ordinary machine where all other SUSE installs have been no problem, things did not go well. I've spent about one & half days now trying to get 10.1, boxed, to install. First problem I ran into was the software installation getting to the 3rd or 4th disc and yast reporting that it could not find the file on this disc. Nothing unusual, right? Retry, abort, ignore. I asked it to retry and immediately it dropped out of yast to continue booting to the login screen. Of course, it's very difficult to login if there are no users or passwords established. Tried several things without success. Restarted the install process with another set of 10.1 discs, thinking something wrong with first set. During the second install, at the installation, update or other screen, I made the mistake of selecting the add source for other addons (not exact wording). I think someone else may have mentioned this problem/bug and it would seem to be a problem. Thinking I needed to add disc 6 with this, I proceeded. Tried to add, it couldn't find a catalog, so went back a step without selecting anything. Suddenly the machine seemed to be maxed out on the cpu. Slow response on everything, machine mostly unusable! Tried getting the disc out of the drive, but couldn't, it was locked. Again, I restarted the installation. Ok, third time I have everything figured out and should work. Wrong! Again, died at 4th disc with couldn't find file. Abort, retry, Ignore. Ignore this time and here it goes, booting to login screen. Again, tried several things in an attempt to have it continue, but no luck. Ok, so something is wrong with the discs, the brand, the burn, something or the ISO it was made from. I start a fourth time, with a new set of burned CDs only to get to the 4th disc to not find the file again. Same thing, boot to login screen. I do the old ctrl-alt-del key sequence for a reboot, but before I could change the disc to CD 1, it starts the process, but goes back to the installation screen asking for disc 4! Installation proceeds from there without further problems. Frustration had already started to settle in, let me assure you and the 10.0 discs were ready and waiting for their problem free turn! I've never had an install take as long as this nor so many problems on hardware that is very Linux friendly. Installing from the DVD on my main machine was a breeze and problem free, except for the terrible mono updater and other things everyone else has mentioned. Overall, 10.1 just has not felt right, not complete or something. I am sure neither I nor many other long time SUSE users were expecting this from such a seasoned Linux distro. As scsijon mentioned in his mail, I also will not recommend my customers to upgrade to 10.1, as 10.0, by far, felt more finished & stable. I would like to know if other CD users have experienced such problems and should it be reported to bugzilla?

Anyway, we are just getting the led power greening on. No link at all. The way you manually installed it, YES, this means that ndiswrapper has installed the proper driver for a device that is present on your system. > Thanks for your help, > > Ricardo Ed Harrison, Linux User # 199533 SuSE10.0, Kernel 2.6.15 PolarBar Mailer 1.26 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com
