[opensuse] madwifi + wpa + sumf

Hi, if I switch the profile from wired lan to wireless lan, than I had to stop and start the ath0 interface manually to get the wlan work. Is this a known problem ?

[opensuse] ps vs. grep
by Anders Johansson 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Here's a phenomenon I haven't seen before I happened to see in the output from "ps aux" these processes ajh 31091 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mpl] <defunct> ajh 31476 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mpl] <defunct> ajh 31882 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mpl] <defunct> ajh 32288 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mpl] <defunct> ajh 32474 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mpl] <defunct> ajh 32517 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mpl] <defunct> ajh 32627 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mpl] <defunct> I didn't know what "mpl" was, and spent some time searching for it. Then, for whatever reason, I wanted to refresh the ps list, so I did "ps aux|grep mpl", and I got this ajh 31091 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mplayer] <defunct> ajh 31476 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mplayer] <defunct> ajh 31882 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mplayer] <defunct> ajh 32288 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mplayer] <defunct> ajh 32474 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mplayer] <defunct> ajh 32517 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mplayer] <defunct> ajh 32627 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Feb10 0:00 [mplayer] <defunct> So ps truncates individual fields in the output now based on the size of the output medium, instead of just cutting off the line? That's something I have't seen before Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Latest kernel update
by Ken Schneider 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

I see we have another kernel update, great job getting the latest security fixes out in a timely manner. :-) BUT, I don't see an update in the Nvidia repo that corresponds to this kernel update, Does that mean that the driver is included in the kernel update? Is this an oversite or are you hoping for a flood of emails from people bitching about how the latest kernel update broke their "X" system again. This is not good for openSUSE's reputation. A little more coordination is needed here I think. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openafs kernel mods
by David Bear 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Anyone know where I can find openafs kernel mods for 10.3? I found in the repositories openafs that have kernel mods for kernel 2.6.18.8 but not for the kernel in opensuse 10.3. -- -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU 411 N Central, Phoenix, AZ 85004 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] two hardware questions
by eddie 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

1) The sound on my laptop is pretty poor. I bought a pair of logitech usb speakers: They work fine under windows. However, in opensuse 10.3 they are are recognised, but I get no sound through them. I can select them through kmix but adjusting the control there does nothing for it. If I press the volume increase button on the side of the speaker and the laptop displays a volume window set to 11%. Repeated pressing doesn't change anything however pressing the decrease button displays volume set to 0%. I'd be really grateful if someone had any idea how to get them working or could point me in the direction where I can get some help. 2) My laptop has a built-in card reader. Is there anything I can do to get linux to detect and use it? Again it works well under windows. Thanks very much, in advance.

Hi there, I'm sorry to put a possible end to your hopes. I'm the proud posesser of an amilo xa2528 and, for starters, the DVD drive is not recognised. I've had a lot of communication with fujitsu-siemens and they are certain that it will be supported in the near future. It should be supported with kernel 2.6.24 howwever my first test was'nt succesfull. Have a look at http://www.amilo-forum.de/ maybe you'll have an answer there about your type of laptop.

[opensuse] Strange SATA problems with openSUSE
by Clayton 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

I've posted a couple times about this with no replies yet.... Earlier today, the entire computer came crashing to a halt... so it forced me to spend more time looking into the problem. The motherboard I have (ASUS M2N-e SLI) has 4 SATA2 ports. SATA 1, 2, 3 and 4. I also have a SATA1 RAID controller with 2 SATA ports. I have drives connected on IDE0 and IDE1 and they are working fine. Scenario 1: If I leave the RAID card out, and just connect drives to SATA 1 and SATA 2.... the computer boots fine. BIOS finds the SATA drives, and Linux is happy. Scenario 2: If I add drives to SATA 3 and 4 in Scenario 1, the BIOS sees all four drive2, but when I boot Linux, it errors out. I can boot the OS, but the error logs fill up with errors, and I have serious performance issues.. until it just dies altogether. The boot errors look like this: ----------------- <6>ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) <4>ata3.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x27) <4>ata3.00: failed to read native max address (err_mask=0x4) <4>ata3: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs <6>ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) <4>ata3.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x27) <4>ata3.00: failed to read native max address (err_mask=0x4) <3>ata3.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5) <4>ata3: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps <4>ata3.00: limiting speed to UDMA7:PIO5 <4>ata3: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs ------------------ and continue on for quite some time. Scenario 3: If I add the RAID card in to Scenario 1, but do not connect any drives to the RAID, all boots and works OK. Scenario 4: If I connect 2 SATA drives to the RAID card, and have two drives from Scenario 1 also connected, all works and boots OK. Scenario 5: If I connect a SATA drive to SATA 3 or 4 in Scenario 4, I get the same results as with Scenario 2... a long list of SATA errors on the boot. Has anyone encountered this before? Could it be a hardware issue.. a failing SATA controller on the motherboard, or is it some obscure Linux thing?

[opensuse] Passive FTP behind a MASQ firewall
by Gary Baribault 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hi All, I have am OpenSuSE 10.2 firewall that is masquerading a 10.0.0.0/24 network inside a modemcable Internet connection. I am Forwarding TCP 20 and 21 to 10.0.0.51 as well as TCP 9000-9025 to the same addr. The inside FTP server is a Windows Server box .. (I know .. yuck!). I can connect, send the user and password, but when the outside user issues a 'ls' the server on the inside goes passive and everything dies. I would like to remain with the SuSEfirewall setup, I have done all the RTFM and Google searches .. but unfortunately there is an overwhelming amound of information on old SuSE versions and FTP servers that reside on the Linux box, but I'm more of less stuck on the FTP server inside on a Linux box. Any suggestions? I have to have this up by Thursday evening.
