See below for growisofs error codes... > http://pcburn.com/article.php?sid=2127 After reading that page more carefully I realized that it basically says "if your DVD burner is connected to a UDMA/33 cable and the system tries to use it as a UDMA/100 device, you'll experience errors". So: 1) can it be something similar in my case? Considering that that drive (IIRC) burned CD-roms just fine? And the fact that the error code i get is not exactly the same? 2) How do I check it for sure, that is how do I recognize if there is a UDMA/33 cable while the system believes to have a UDMA/100 device? And how do I fix it if this is what happening? In the bios? How? Or in some config file? (changing the cable, ie turning off the pc, I'd rather avoid it if at all possible, since as I mentioned the system is quite unstable and it would really be better to burn the dvds before powering it off) Thanksa thousand!

If you have installed the GUI interface of clamAV == KlamAV it is still beta however it will inhibit s2disk and suspend2ram. It seems the real-time agent cannot be halted. If other find this an issue and you cave confidence to write a bug report hears a heads up. IF KlamAV whilst resident will suspend for you please let me know Morning to all 08:45 GMT +10 Scott

[opensuse] apparmor and bin.ping from factory
by Jan Engelhardt 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Hi, so by default, the yast control panel apparmoar/"Profile Mode Configuration" shows: bin.ping enforce sbin.klogd enforce etc. With bin.ping being enabled, one cannot use the ping utility anymore, neither as normal user nor as root. According to strace, socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) already fails. Is this really intended?

Hi It's time to find me a new machine for home office and related work. But what is the best choice right now? It's a tough one. I need to balance the requirements and make choices like - 32 or 64? - Motherboard - Disks - Graphics adapter - Low consumption vs performance Anyone has any input to this? Any sites that can help me with the configuration, any do-it-yourself sites? Or irc channels where this is discussed? -- Med venlig hilsen Kaare Rasmussen, Jasonic Jasonic Telefon: +45 3816 2582 Nordre Fasanvej 12 2000 Frederiksberg Email: kaare(a)jasonic.dk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

You mean the actual drive (meaning it's physically unable to burn DVD-R, but that's not the case from the reviews I've found) or its software driver / device file?

On a related note, did i do wrong or right to blank the dvd before attempting this write command (see original message for the exact syntax)?

This shuld be enough. You mean I can try again to burn DVDs after changing this only option? Or is also the second part mandatory? Also: > Take good care with following.

I am not sure I understand this part. The motherboard is a "ASUS A8N-VM CSM" with everything integrated, disk controller included, and it has been running a sata hard disk and this ata DVD drive (nec nd 4550) for months before having problems). It means it has the equivalent of a "ata card" installed, or not? Thanks a lot to you all, guys.
