/var/log/messages, kernel messages, what is this ?

by Sylvester Lykkehus

Hi All, In my /var/log/messages, these messages keeps appearing: Sep 30 18:01:18 SoliD kernel: b5:ad:12:d9:3f:d5:a3:9a:c1:d9:b2:fb:e0:a8:ab:bb: Sep 30 18:01:18 SoliD kernel: 28:5d:d1:4e:56:0c:da:4d: Sep 30 18:01:18 SoliD kernel: bc:19:d7:53:bd:db:92:53: Sep 30 18:01:18 SoliD kernel: ab:21:40:9d:be:b2:17:91:bc:99:88:ef:e8:23:99:f7: Sep 30 18:01:18 SoliD kernel: e8:09:71:33:8f:94:b4:76: Sep 30 18:01:18 SoliD kernel: 6f:34:4e:e7:a7:60:36:59: Sep 30 18:01:56 SoliD kernel: fb:00:34:29:17:9d:b2:15:ff:20:dd:dc:06:10:b5:93: Sep 30 18:01:56 SoliD kernel: c1:29:be:e7:4a:de:d2:4e: Sep 30 18:01:56 SoliD kernel: 72:98:6c:b8:14:a6:44:17: almost twice every minute, 3-8 messages per second. There seems to be no pattern in the messages. What could be causing this, and what does these messages really tell ?

10.1: No resume after latest kernel update

by Hermann J. Beckers

After upgrade to 2.6.12.21-0.25-bigsmp, my system doesn't resume anymore. Suspend works, resume starts, it even restores the data pages, but when control should go the reactivated kernel, it shows only the screen with the suspend messages. Any hints? hjb

Re: [SLE] SUSE = Ubuntu? (now power consumption)

Ok, again as promised, I measured my home system/network for a contrast comparison between all processors idle vs all processors pegged. First I established a baseline for the house (systems down) including my office cd amp (forgot that before). So... I removed the cd amp from the system load numbers. The entire network up and idling consumes 625 watts (see previous post for network compliment). I then shipped this command to each processor on the network to get it cranking on a computation of pi to 50,000 digits: time echo "scale=50000; 16*a(1/5)-4*a(1/239)" |bc -lq The scale was chosen significantly large enough so that even the fastest machine on the network could in no way complete the calculation before I could take the measurement. ( to see the pi calculation complete on your own system in a reasonable time set the scale to something smaller than 1000 ). Survey says.... With all processors pegged the entire network consumes *780 watts*. So, to put this in perspective, even with all processors pegged the entire network still consumes 5% less power than my coffee maker. Over an (8) hour day the network will consume 6.2 KwHr pegged vs 5.2 KwHr idling. The coffee maker consumes about 6.6 KwHr over that same period. Moral to the story?? Well, if I give up coffee.... I will be healthier and the savings will completely pay for running my home network. ;-))) -- Kind regards, M Harris <><

YaST and soundfonts

Has anyone managed to install soundfonts using YaST? I'm currently trying to run Solfege but without any joy. I have a soundblaster live card. Any thoughts on how to get solfege going on SUSE 10.1 anyone? Thanks Eddie

Firewall zones

by Paul Abrahams

I want to configure the SuSE firewall so that communication within my LAN is uninhibited but communication outside the LAN is fully protected. Looking at the firewall configuration in Yast, I see that the external zone is protected but the internal zone is not. However, I don't see how to specify that the internal zone consists of hosts with addresses 192.168.0.x. This would seem to be a pretty common requirement. It appears that the firewall configurator can specify that an interface is external or internal, but I have only one interface (network card). It connects to the LAN and to the router; the router in turn talks to the world. It's a very common setup. Paul

Block rug from updating?

by Anders Norrbring

How can I set packages to NOT be updated via rug? I don't see any options in the rug man page. Also, it's set as locked in yast, so 'yast online-update' doesn't try to update it, but rug does! -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

List of topics in /etc/sysconfig section of Yast is out of date

by Paul Abrahams

I have two machines running 10.0. On just one of them, probably because the installation was an update rather than from scratch, the list of topics in the left-hand pane of the Yast /etc/sysconfig window is out of date. (Under Firewall it lists personal-firewall rather than SuSEfirewall2.) How can I update that list? All my Yast packages seem to have the 10.0 version or better. Paul

jakarta-common-cli package?

by Sunny

Hi, I'm trying to use Azureus-console from packman for SUSE 10.0 x86_64. It requires jakarta-common-cli, but I can not find it any where. Any ideas? Thanks -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

Re: [opensuse] Howto enable mpg ou wmv files on 10.1

Hi Joao - please send your mails always to the list - some people do not want postings from email lists to their address and, additionally readers of the list do only get half the information. So - now to your problem. I do not know from your post, but I guess you used konqueror to browse to the packman repo and then right-clicked the file which for some reason did not work. I cannot help you there, since I never did that. But you could try it out this way 1. Load down the w 32 codec rpm file to the disk 2. In a text console go to the directory where you saved the rpm file 3. Change to user root 4. Do 'rpm -Uvh w32codec-all-20060611-0.pm.0.i586.rpm' (without the quotes), this installs the codecs on your computer 5. In order to check if it is really installed you could do 'rpm -qa | fgrep w32' (but if rpm does not show an error, I never encountered a case where the package was not installed, so this is probably not necessary) If that does not help, please make sure you have all the needed packages. If you have all the needed packages and it still does not work, please provide some more details and maybe someone knows the answer.

Caching DNS server in Suse 10.1

by Art Fore

Hi All I am in Taiwan, and the internet service really sucks. I can do a speed test from my ISP, hinet.net, and get the 8 Mbps they say they are providing. If I try the DSL speed tests from the servers in San Francisco or Los Angeles, I get, if I am luck, 1 Mbps. I have noticed that most of the time is waiding while looking up the site. Got some IP addresses of those site, and enter them in the web browser, and it goes about 10 times or more faster. It appears most of the time is for DNS lookup. Now my Question. Would setting up a caching DNS server help this situation and if so, does anyone have any guidance in doing this? I have checed out the DNS setup, etc. before, and find it very confusing, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Art
