[opensuse] Xinetd question
by Kain, Becki (B.) 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hello all: I have a few boxes, built from the same os, with same application on there, that is started by xinetd. The config file is: service uptmagnt { disable =3D no flags =3D REUSE socket_type =3D stream wait =3D no user =3D nobody server =3D /opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptmagnt } Now, for unknown reasons, this agent doesn't respond on the port that's defined in /etc/services, some of the time and the only way to get it to respond is to restart xinetd. It's the only agent that is not responding and it's only on one of the many identical boxes. The only difference on this box, that I can think of, is the date gets changed on it, every day. But of course, every day, the agent doesn't stop working just *sometimes* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Unstable system - culprit identified
by Per Jessen 31 Mar '08

The saga is about to conclude. The Gigabyte motherboard GA-MA790FX-DS5 with an AMD Phenom quad-core is unstable under full load, period. I suspect the memory controller setup, but Gigabyte has been unable to reproduce (under Windows). Last week I purchased an MSI board (K9A2 CF) with slightly lower specs (primarily AMD790X instead of -FX chipset) - yesterday I installed it with the same components (cpu, psu, memory, disks etc.). Earlier this afternoon it completed a 24 hour burn-in run with mprime stresstests going at full throttle - showing no problems whatsoever. Right now it's running four copies of mprime plus a Kubuntu installation in Virtualbox, and a Firefox3 beta. (I'm browsing the net whilst waiting for Kubuntu to make some progress). IMO the Gigabyte board is faulty - I'll ask the dealer to take it back tomorrow. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] suse 10 freezes randomly on ibm blade
by ivszabm＠ivz.de 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

hi, we are testing several java (java-version: 1.5.0_10) applications on suse 10 (version 2.6.16.46) with 16 cpu´s (intel xeon 3.00ghz) and 4GB ram on a ibm blade. sometimes it happens that suse freezes randomly and i can´t access the machine via ssh or anything else anymore. i only can push the reset-button. there is really nothing useful in the log files. we have the same setup running on a second ibm blade with 8 cpu´s and 16GB ram - without any problems. you guys have any idea what could be the problem with the first setup (16 cpu + 4GB ram)? maybe little ram-memory? thanks in advance, marton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Thanks, I'd seen a little information searching on that particular symbol that seemed to indicate that this might be something I could do something about - seems that's not the case.

[opensuse] Lyris Listserver on OpenSUSE 10.3?
by Jim Henderson 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, I'm in the process of trying to set up some online resources for my local community organization - I've been using 10.3 for quite a while and am very comfortable with it. I'm trying to install the Lyris list manager in a XEN VM in order to manage some timed e-mails and such (I am familiar with Mailman and the other OSS solutions for this - however, I need some features of Lyris with regards to scheduled mailings and whatnot for non-technical people who will be sending mailings out). When I try to start Lyris, I get the error message: lyris: dynamic-link.h:57: elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed. /etc/init.d/lyris: line 8: 2013 Aborted PATH=/sbin:/bin:/ usr/bin /usr/local/lyris/bin/lyris -bd While I know this is more likely not an OpenSUSE issue but rather a Lyris issue, I wondered if anyone could tell me what the elf_get_dynamic_info error means - I can't seem to find a good definition of what it is in order to correct it. Thanks for any pointers.... Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] sound with wine

Wouldn't want you use one of those "lesser" desktops. :P > > > What's the player in Wine? > > powerpoint viewer Okay, just for the fun of it - because I have *so* much free time - I put together something for you. I fired up VMWare and launched Office XP. I then created this powerpoint: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2008/Test_Sound.ppt There are two slides -each has a sound. (You get bonus points if you recognize the source of either.) I then played it in both Open Office and in Crossover Office using Office XP in a Win98 bottle. In both instances, the sound played exactly as I expected. Then - just because I'm in a good mood and my five-year-old is watching Godzilla (with Raymond Burr) - I fired up some Toten Hosen on Amarok. I then tried to play the file in Crossover Office and see if I could hear the sounds above Das Wort Zum Sonntag. No dice. Muting Campino and the boys didn't do any good either. I then quit Amarok, quit Crossover Office and restarted Crossover office. The sound played just fine during the slideshow. I then restarted Das Wort Zum Sonntag in Amarok and opened the file in OpenOffice Impress. Sure enough both sounds played through the speakers - though there was a conflict and the slide show was louder than than Die Toten Hosen. I then tried a different approach. I fired up a nice quiet website - http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com - while playing the slide show in Open Office and die toten hosen. Sure enough, all three apps played nicely. My five year old then told me to shut the computer off because he wasn't able to hear Godzilla. IOTW, you might look and make sure that no sound applicaitons are - or have been - hijacking the KDE sound subsystem.

[opensuse] Factory repo rpm problem
by Dave Plater 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, I just tried to update OpenOffice from factory and (fortunately before downloading the real big files) every file, so far, fails with the rpm error :- "unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic" Anybody else know how many corrupt files are in the factory repo or if anybody is aware of this problem yet.

[opensuse] Custom filters in Kwrite
by Stan Goodman 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Is there somewhere a description of the requirements for writing a custom filter for Kwrite incoming mail? For example, how to call such a filter, how it should access the components of an incoming message (body, all headers, perhaps specific headers), how to return a filter action? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] natively supported external wireless cards?
by Sloan 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hello list, I'm trying to find reports of a natively supported, usb wireless card for suse 10.3 I haven't had any luck so far, so I'm reposting. Has anyone here discovered a usb wireless dongle which will work out of the box on suse 10.3? By "out of the box" I mean the device shows up in yast, and can be managed without command line activity. I don't mind some initial hassle to get it working, as long as it "just works" for a newbie user, once set up. Feel free to answer even if you haven't had any personal experience. I'm trying to track something down, anything, as long as it can be made to work reliably on suse 10.3 for a newbie user.
