Re: [opensuse] Beagled taking too much memory 2GB+

Hi Rui and all, as I wrote on a previous email to the list (still no replies, though), I decided to remove the complete Beagle stuff. Not only it was (over)loading the system from time to time, it also created a lot of zombie/defunct processes, ate a lot of memory, etc etc. Anyway, it's normal that your Linux system takes up as much memory as possible. I read somewhere (maybe in this list) "memory not used, memory wasted"...

[opensuse] nvidia binary driver - Lcd can't display at 60 Hz
by Don Raboud 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi all, I've been following some of the advice on the list recently about improving the fonts in 10.2. I have seen a huge improvement so far, but there are still some issues. In looking into all of this however, I have discovered that I can't get my monitor to display at its native resolution (1280x1024) at 60 Hz. NOTE: I'm using KDE and to get the refresh rate I right click on the desktop, choose "Configure Desktop..." and then look at the refresh rate under "Display". Is there a command line alternative to get this info? Monitor: LCD BENQ FP937s Graphics Card: NVidia GeForce PCX 5750 NVidia Driver: 1.0-9746 I have been using sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia and have tried many variations but I can't get 60 Hz. I have tried selecting the generic LCD monitor (instead of the BENQ) and explicitly choosing the "1280x1024@60" mode, testing looks ok and claims to be at 60 Hz, but when I save the results and go to init 5, the display is back at 50 Hz. I've also tried (even though I don't know if I should) sax --vesa 0:1280x1024@60 which didn't help. I've also tried to generate another modeline using gtf 1280 1024 60 and replacing the modeline in xorg.conf with these values. This allows me to select between 50 Hz and 55 Hz from the KDE desktop settings, but still no 60 Hz. Finally, if I modify my current xorg.conf file and change the driver from "nvidia" to "nv" (and make only that change), I can get a display at 60 Hz, but I lose the 3D acceleration and some of the font improvements as well. Does anyone know how I can get 60 Hz on this monitor with the binary nvidia driver? -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Compiz modules
by Silviu Marin-Caea 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

On SUSE 10.2, enabling Xgl in KDE seems to be just as easy as specifying Xgl instead of Xorg in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER I see that this setting alone will take care of running compiz instead of kwin. The problem is that it runs compiz with a list of modules, not with "compiz --replace gconf" That can be seen with ps axl | grep compiz Where does it keep its list of the modules it runs compiz with, how can I change that?

[opensuse] cron job email attachment.bin
by Dave Howorth 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

My daily backup script on a server mails the output to me (it's a cron job run by root). Recently, instead of sending me a plain text email message, it's started sending me an empty email with an attachment called 'attachment.bin'. This is just a plain text file with the same old content. Does anybody know how to make it send me plain text messages again? The only notable difference I can see in the messages is this header: < Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii --- > Content-Type: application/octet-stream; charset=us-ascii I certainly haven't deliberately changed any settings, but is there a setting somewhere that controls this header? Does it depend on the settings on intermediate boxes that the mail passes through? The server is running Suse 9.2.

[opensuse] I give up!
by charles＠daphatbell.com 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

This has to be the most ASSININE thing I have ever had to deal with! I have wasted darn near the whole weekend trying to get one stupid a$$ed bootloader to install and nothing on this earth should be this darn difficult! Even using the numbering system that was confimed/agreed to, it still gives me the error 23 statement. The main reason I liked SuSe is because it does mount (automatically) my Windows partition, thus I have access to different files. On Mandriva, although it installs in over half the time, and it's actually WAY faster than 10.2, and the bootloader ACTUALLY works, it's a pain to get the partitions to mount, I have to do a hard shutdown because there's no "restart" or "shutdown" command when you log off, which tales you to the login screen, which doesn't have a way to shutdown or reboot the computer. Ubuntu is a whole story by itself! Maybe in a few years when I'm 70 will Linux FINALLY be ready for prime time! Just think, I haven't even gotten to the HARD parts yet! Anyway, I really do appreciate all the help I have gotten on this. I need to go lay down, my head is about to freaking explode! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] JRE on Firefox 2.0 & SuSE 10.2x64
by Daniel Antonio Peraza Cedrez 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi. I recently installed SuSE 10.2 on a Sun Ultra 40 Workstation and I have noticed that even when I have Java installed on my system (actually I use NetBeans 5.5 to develp Java applications) Firefox isn't able to start applets from a website, instead it tells me that the JRE plugin is needed in order to do so, then I click it to start searching the plugin and tells me that it is not available and a manual installation is needed. I guess that Firefox it's not registered as a browser that JRE should know. Could someone help me to fix this problem??, I think I know how to fix it in Windows XP (Java module in Control Panel) but not for SuSE. Thanks in advance!!!. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Network PMTU -- optimizing performance...
by Linda Walsh 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

I have a few different computers on my house network. Several have been upgraded to 1Gb ethernet. Doing benchmarkings, I find that a significant part of the speed seems to be related to "per-packet" delays -- I found I could get 2-3 times the performance if I could set two machines to talk to each other with a larger MTU. Having them use a 6000 byte MTU vs. the old max of 1500, made a big difference. However (there has to be a catch, of course), most of the computers in the house don't support jumbo packets. I think some may still be at 100Mb. Fortunately, different speed (10Mb,100Mb,1Gb) cards can all share the same network with 1Gb-1Gb conenctions running fast, but 10Mb-1Gb connections still working -- though significantly slower. :-) I'm having a problem doing the same with the different cards that support different PMTU's. One card supports up to 9000 byte MTU's (I think that's the current max "jumbo" size). I'd __like__ to set each card to it's maximum so each machine pair would use the most efficient MTU possible. Theoretically, TCP/IP does PMTU discovery and was designed to work over different network types using different MTU's. I don't have the kernel param "ip_no_pmtu_disc" enabled, but... it seems the opposite of "no" may not be "yes". ;-( A small PMTU machine ("smallpack") can be logged into a large PMTU machine ("bigpack") and they talk fine (using small packets), but trying to send a file (>MTU), or using a ping packet size > PMTU (like 3000) and the communication is dropped. If both machines are set to use the same PMTU, then all is fine and large ping packets are automatically fragmented. Forcing all cards in the house (including housemate computers) to upgrade to some "same" brand that supports the same jumbo PMTU size isn't really an option. Why isn't PMTU discovery working? Am I missing something obvious? Why does it appear that the MTU's have to be equal on all machines? What part of "discovery" am I not understanding? Even using the ping "-M want" ("do PMTU discovery") does NOT work. Am I missing something obvious?

[opensuse] Dell HD Audio Controller on Dell E520 and openSUSE 10.2

Hi Everybody. This past weekend I installed openSUSE 10.2 on a new Dell Dimension E520. So far everything works fairly well - except for the onboard audio which I can't get to work. This is a Dell HD Audio Controller which the installer recognized and loaded the snd_hda_intel module, but the beast won't make a sound.

Thank you for the tip. I am familiar with KnoppMyth is great mainly for new users of myth. I have run myth with other distros also. However I use SuSE and has been great. The new part I want to try is the pcHDTV which I've just got and the new nvideo cards. But I want to have the other part OK before I jump with the new things. BTW I did install ivtv and myth in SuSE 10.2 both using the rpm and the kernel module and building the whole thing from source. Both worked very well. I use the 2.6.18 kernel that come with the distro and also the 2.6.19.2 that I compile wiht the same config. All works very well. The problem with this distro has been the dvd burning which I have not been able to do. So now I am back in 10.1.

[opensuse] a user call for attention on SuSE's mp3 support issue
by Zhang Weiwu 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

As I recently discovered it is not very easy to enable mp3 on most media players of OpenSuSE (except RealPlayer). I am getting upset for this, because this might block a lot of non-techie user using SuSE (after all RealPlayer is not the default player in SuSE). Maybe I am doing something stupid (I am only a one year old SuSE user after all, and not a community organization expert) but I wish to call SuSE user and developer's attention to this issue so that: I. as a best solution, motivate opensuse to enable mp3 by default on bmp, xmms, banshee, rhymbox, gstreamer (including totem) and all players; II. as a fall back solution, let's collect solutions on how to enalbe mp3 on various players and make sure end users can easily find these solution, and these solutions are not too complex. These solutions must make their way on the web so that users can find them very easily, things appear in second google search result won't be a lot helpful for users. (I knew there are already a lot of "solutions" but they are often either not easy to find or doesn't work. Check my ealier post.) III. if OpenSuSE decide not to enable mp3 support because it's not "Free" by GNU definition, at least we can try to submit some patches and make these patchs gets into opensuse so that when a music play failed to play mp3, it prompts with some user-friendly message that you need to look up this and that webpage for solutions on how to enable mp3 support. I myself am still looking for solution to enable mp3 on either Banshee or Rthymbox. Looks so far Banshee it's easiler to find a solution for Banshee. I am still working on it. Study shows not every "ordinary users" actually use google to search for a solution when they got a problem. So if people have to search for how to enable mp3, we already know many people has given up. And also study shows even in opensource world, only 1/7 people go ask questions on forum or mailing list. So if a google search doesn't leads to a workable solution, 6/7 people perhaps give up, only 1/7 will post something like me. Well perhaps only a very few percent will have a true hacker's spirit and hack down a solution when questions on forum/lists doesn't get a solution. P.S. I read some forum threads saying SuSE Enterprise Linux Desktop have mp3 enabled by default. Is this ture? If so I'd like to try it and recommend other people to use that one in place of opensuse provide it's not too expensive for most users. P.S. "If it's not working, source is there and why not work it out yourself?" Well, I'd be glad to hack the source to solve it myself IF THE MUSIC PLAYER don't support MP3 NATIVELY. But the mp3 problem we are facing is already solved by all Linux music players, the situation is music players support mp3, SuSE removed it. So this is a non-technical issue.

[opensuse] USB card reader and memstick are not recognised

Had a good working 10.1 system and changed to 10.2 after a hd breakdown. Everything nicely installed and most things working.

In 9.3 I believe and as far as I remember also in 10.0 and 10.1 a memorystick or any card in the card reader would activate Konquerer and I could read my inserted units.

[opensuse] ssh problem from remote LAN
by James D. Parra 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Hello, Set up a SLES 10 server and although I can ssh to it from any box on the local LAN I can't get to it from a remote LAN even though I can ssh to any other box on the local LAN via ssh. All of the other servers are running Suse 9.1 to Suse 10, while the one I can't connect to remotely is running SLES 10. The sshd_config is identical to the other servers and the firewall is off. Nmap results show that the ssh port on the SLES 10 server is appearing as filtered from the remote network and open from the local LAN. Only the SLES 10 box has this behavior. Any ideas? ~~~ Local LAN - 192.168.0.0 to SLES 10 server on 192.168.0.0 ~~~ Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2007-01-30 10:04 PST Interesting ports on 192.168.0.6: (The 1656 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 111/tcp open rpcbind 389/tcp open ldap 427/tcp open svrloc 631/tcp open ipp 888/tcp open accessbuilder 10000/tcp open snet-sensor-mgmt ~~~ Remote LAN - 192.168.1.0 to SLES 10 server on 192.168.0.0 ~~~ Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on (192.168.0.6): (The 1594 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 22/tcp filtered ssh 111/tcp open sunrpc 389/tcp open ldap 427/tcp open svrloc 631/tcp open ipp 888/tcp open accessbuilder 10000/tcp open snet-sensor-mgmt ~~~ Remote LAN - 192.168.1.0 to Suse 10 server on LAN 192.168.0.0 ~~~ Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on (192.168.0.44): (The 1593 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 22/tcp open ssh 111/tcp open sunrpc 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds 631/tcp open ipp 888/tcp open accessbuilder 5432/tcp open postgres 10000/tcp open snet-sensor-mgmt Thank you in advance, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] no sound recording on 10.2

Hi there! have you tried with alsamixer? make sure that the "Capture" settings are reasonable... HTH, Martin ----- Original Message ---- From: Istvan Gabor <suseuser04(a)freemail.hu> To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 10:41:20 PM Subject: [opensuse] no sound recording on 10.2 Hello: Now I am having a problem with sound capturing/recording in SUSE 10.2. The hardware is OK since in 10.0 on the same machine this function works fine. Voice coming from the microphone can be heard in the speakers/headphone but it is not captured/recorded. For this reason skype does not work either. I've tried several possibilities to activate capturing using KMix and Kamix w/o success. Once more, I have no problem in SUSE 10.0. How could I fix this, what should I check? Any suggestion is appreciated! TIA, IG _______________________________________________________________ Ne csak a lakást nézze, hanem a környéket is!
