[opensuse] Open Suse 10.3 64bit Hardware Compatibility "problem"
by AleXX® 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hi all, I am running OpenSuse 10.3 64bit on a Intel Dual Core 1.6Ghz CPU and MainBoard Asus P5KPL-VM (Chipset Intel CH7) and a Silicon Image SiI 3512 Sata Raid Controller (Mirror), the scope of this server is to play File/Print/Fax Server Role and I need to use the console trough the serial interface. My problem is about Hardware: The Modem I am using has to be PCI (because the only com port available has to be used for console) and I have a Conexant modem with the Linuxant Drivers Installed. The whole server is working fine unless Hylafax tries to send a Fax. Sending a fax is causing a total freeze of the server at the end of the fax handshaking... So I tried to use a different (PCI) modem with a Motorola Chipset (SM56) but I wasn't able to find any driver to make this work. So, again, I re-installed OpenSuse 10.3 32bit and the Modem started working great... but the whole system began to be pretty unstable (there is some issue with IRQ's and similar stuff...) So, again and agan, I re-installed the 64bit version of OpenSuse 10.3 and the system is Rock-Solid but the modem problem is still there... So, I am writing here seeking help in one of those option: a. Someone who can help me to fix the Conexiant Modem in the 64bit OpenSuse b. Someone who can tell me where I can find a PCI Modem Working with OpenSuse 64bit c. Someone who can tell me how to get the Motorola SM56 Modem Working d. Someone who can tell me where I can find a PCI Card with an extra Com Port that is supported by OpenSuse 10.3 (so I can use an External Serial Modem) I am totally lost in that... I've been working night and days to find some solution but I am flat and I am in a hurry... :( Thank you all...

[opensuse] Display problem with a NVIDIA Geforce FX5500 card
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

My system is 10.3, fully updated, KDE as GUI. After playing around with my NVIDIA settings I found out that I am not able to reboot anymore into my KDE environment Do not know what is broken and reading the Xorg.93.log did not help. The boot stops with a message saying: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x81) [0x80e6d81] 1: [0xffffe420] Fatal server error: Caught signal 4. Server aborting This is also the last part of the Xorg log file. The messages in the logfile seem normal to me and I see no possibility to get my GUI back. YAst and sax in the console refuse to work on the monitor graphic card. How to get my gui back. Where should I start deleting config files in order to get sax working on a new setup? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Why are there not more using Linux?
by Simon Roberts 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

OK, I've been wanting to answer this question for ages, but there's just so much to say. In the end, I've given up trying to say everything completely cohesively, and I'm just going to allow myself to ramble and hope it helps some. First, a little background. I have a pretty good computer background. I wrote 6502, Z80, 8088, 68000 and other machine languages starting 25 years ago. I was a programmer for 15 years, writing network protocol software before the TCP stack was generally available, Unix device drivers, and a bunch of distributed control systems. Eventually I moved to corporate teaching, which I still do. I was using Linux to teach TCP and Unix system administration in 1994, and other than Linux, I'm mostly a Solaris body. I have 3 Linux systems at home, two of which dual-boot with windows so I can run Photoshop in a color managed environment. I use VMWare for some other windows stuff that's less crucial to me. I also have a dual processor SPARC/Solaris 10 system. I loath and detest bill gates and everything he stands for. I regularly point out to my students that his company is a marketing company (very effective one, sadly) not a technology company. I believe they've never invented anything good, and have damaged many, if not most, of the ideas they've "appropriated". Until about 6 months ago, I was on a one man crusade to try to get my friends all using Linux. Around about then (after one success,yay! :) I finally gave up :( I can't begin to tell you the heartache, sadness, and sense of failure I felt when I reached that decision. Anway, what follows are some of the key/memorable personal experiences that wore me down and made me give up. Please remember that I love Linux, I love the people who put their effort into creating and maintaining it, and I think it has improved tremendously in recent years. I blame nobody for the "weaknesses" outlined below, other than what I see as bill gates' unreasonable and amoral (but sadly, probably entirely legal) practices. 1) Hardware issues. If you just walk into a store and ask for a machine that will be good to go with Linux, they'll look at you blankly. It's a major effort to check the details yourself. Most off the shelf machines don't tell you exactly what cards they contain, and then it's often hard to find the devices in the HCLs. New hardware--inevitably--is most likely to be unsupported or buggy. Finding the HCLs used to be hard. I just checked, and this seems to have been fixed (thanks someone! :) HCL is online, and I don't usually have access to the internet when I'm in a store browsing! Whichever way you slice it, having to care about the exact hardware is a pain. I don't see any way (other than having the leverage of micky$loth) to get round this, and I certainly laud the efforts that have been made to improve life 2) Photography related. I use Windows to run Photoshop CS2 in a color managed workflow. In this, Linux doesn't cut it for two reasons: Color management. I tried to work out how to do the LCMS stuff, and a bunch of related color management options I though I was looking at, and just gave up, too much like hard work. Also, I seem to have the wrong colorimeter hardware already and am not willing to pay all over again for something else. GIMP is only 8 bit. That's fire in theory, but when you mess with stuff much, you quickly run into posterization (I see this even in some professional's work and while those in question don't seem to care, I personally hate it). 3) Irritations with web plugins. Idiots out there keep writing stuff that's windows only, and there always seems to be trouble trying to get the latest Flash player. When it's available, it's tricky to install. 4) Palm pilot-: Several versions of palm device just don't sync, needless to say, this includes some that matter to me. I don't know how to sync my palm and evolution-etc. with web calendars like google or yahoo. That's important to me. I gave up using my palm pilot because of this. Consequently, I'm appallingly badly organized and regularly double book myself and miss meetings. 5) Video; I have failed repeatedly to build a system that plays all reasonable kinds of video. Mostly this seems to be a deliberate policy on bill gates' part (and the lawyers and the evil patent system, of course). I've reached the point where I can do most file types with the exception of AVI with the type 9 codec. 6) Strange inconsistencies ("That can't happen"): These are really hard, time-consuming, and often fruitless to debug. My laptop (dual core 64bit Intel) won't shut down without crashing the kernel. It will hibernate, and the file system journaling means that I've been able to kill it when I have to shut it down completely, but it's still irritating, and I long-ago gave up trying to fix it. Updates that break things, the various methods that I've found my systems using to auto-patch seem prone to failure. Usually complaining about something incompatible. I have one machine (admittedly running 9.3) which has been trying to upgrade Mozilla for the last two years. I can't seem to stop it trying, the warning blob thingy always says updates are ready. I don't really care, but it's not reassuring. Biggest pain for me is that it seems like every time I decide I want to use/install/build a new piece of software, I have trouble with dependencies. I fetch a package, but then it won't install because something is missing, or the wrong version. I try to find the required stuff, but that won't install because something else is missing, or it's incompatible with something I already have. It might well be that I'm doing it all wrong, but I only have so much time to give to this stuff. Mostly I want a machine to just work. Usually, I give up and accept that I'm going to live without whatever new function it was that seemed exciting. All of which sounds like I'm really unimpressed with Linux. That's not the case. I know what work goes into this stuff, and I use it as much as possible anyway (the only things I do with Windows are run Photoshop, for the reasons given, and one check-writing program that I run under VMWare, because I always did, and GNUCash was too complicated to bother finding out about, and too much like hard work to migrate to). My problem, which is a huge personal disappointment, is that I realized about 6 months ago that I can't ask my friends to move to Linux. They just don't have what it takes still to cope. Me, sure, I can muddle through, but then again, I don't like to make this effort and I tend to accept restricted functionality as the price I pay to take my moral high ground and reject gates as much as possible. I also prefer the relative security that I get from avoiding "the Internet's petri dish" Generally, I would prefer to see less effort on "improvement" and more on stabilization. Pin down the compatibility issues (remember the Unix wars?--I do.) between versions of libblahdyblah or whatever, so I can just fetch a package and use it. Meanwhile, Linux seems to me to be a good choice for companies where one install effort can be rolled out to hundreds of users, but less viable for intermediate home users who want to do interesting and different things, but aren't able to help themselves. The really basic users, who browse, send email, write the odd document, and look at jpeg images from their cameras have no problem. I have one such friend that is completely computer illiterate and quite happy using OpenSUSE 10.1 with ICE window manager (old, weak hardware, couldn't run Gnome or KDE adequately). All other attempts to migrate my friends were met with legitimate objections that I couldn't counter. With thanks to all who've made this what it is, and with continuing faith that one day it'll be what it deserves to be, and have the acceptance and mainstream support it deserves.

On my work machine (10.3, x86_64, nVidea GeForce 6200) today it suddenly logged me out and now has reset to 1280x1024 instead of teh 1600x1200 that I am used to and the screen expects. Every time I start sax2 it says some thing abouyt unable to use 3D, which is OK as I have zero need for it. But while it says 1600x1200 the test come up in 1200x1024, and the screen is unreadable (fuzzy, indefinte) I seem to remember some mail about thi sor a similar problem, but I did not understabnd it. The nVidia drivers were taken from the OpenSuSE commuynity repository. How do I get a visible screen back? ==John ff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox 32b

ref: opensuse 10.3 64b Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071128 SUSE/2.0.0.11-3.1 Firefox/2.0.0.11 I would like to try firefox 32b in opensuse 64b. 1. I can download it from mozilla.org and run it. 2. I can also install it from one of the rpm from the repository Q: do I have to remove firfox 64 in either of both options? Of course I will delete the present ~/.mozilla folder (well just rename it) Q should I use #1 or #2 The decision I had to make is why do I need to run firefox 64b when some of the plugins do not work mainly java (I tried blackdown without success). Also shockwave that is only available in 32 and I can run with crossover. I know I can run java in Konqueror so is not a big deal. Any thoughts.
