[opensuse] Adding php-mssql shared object to opensuse 10.3 to use freetds
Hi, My name is Jim Taitt, I am running openSUSE 10.3 x86 where I am trying to build a Website which has to connect to a remote Windows 2003 server over the internet and connect to MSSQL Server 2000 to process orders. I have been able to do this using freetds and the php-mssql library which comes packaged in Fadora and RHEL, but my whole system of choice is SUSE. I am a programmer with a little knowledge of linux administration, so please forgive me if my questions are not expertly written. As far as I can see, OpenSuse does not have the php-mssql module as part of their distributions. I have compiled from source freetds and am able to make a test connection to the remote server from SUSE 10.3. The part I need help with is how to compile and add php-mssql to openSuse 10.3 ? If I were to compile php from scratch, I would add the configure flag with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds. It would be easy if I could just compile the module by itself and just add it to my existing setup of SUSE, but dont know what flags to choose for configure. Or better yet, could I get a file with the list of flags to set as they are in the current compilation of php 5.2.5 as they are in the current compilation of SUSE 10.3 , so I can compile my own complete version of PHP and have the confidence it is configured correctly to use in a production environment by using the same flags as used to setup openSuse 10.3. Oh yes, I have never worked with RPMs outside of Yast so I hope what I am asking makes sense in the above context. Thanks to all for any input. I have been working on this for a couple of weeks and am a really concerned that I get it configured correctly .

Re: [opensuse] Installing SLED on top of SLES
Frank Steiner wrote:
Hi,
a little HOWTO for people who are interested in this :-) What I do is
installing SLES and SLED on top of a SuSE 10.1 installation. Installing
SLED on SLES (or vice versa) will work the same way.
That presumes that the RPM's for SLES and the RPM's for SLED
are identical for each package.
Seems to me some things could be tweaked just a little bit
differently since the two products are aimed at substantially
different target machines (SLED providing desktop applications,
and SLES providing centralized services), and thus differing
presumptions of memory availability, chron jobs, etc.
I'm willing to bet that your frankenstein installation isn't
as coherent as you believe it to be without a LOT of checking
to prove it to be so.
I can see storing the SLED RPMs in a directory tree on your
SLES machine for local availability... installing one on
top of the other... not something I would advise others
to do without spending some significant time comparing
all of the packages on both distributions.
Why doing that? We need hosts that have the huge software repository that
you find in a (open)SuSE system but can run longer than 2 years. So my
idea was to install SLES and SLED over the SuSE system so that I replace
almost all packages with their SLES/D pendants and can use the SLES/D
security updates for a while.
This works because SuSE 10.1, SLES10 and SLED10 have a common code base.
There are a few packages that are in SuSE and not in SLES/D, very useful
ones like sshfs or wipe. Of course you can install SLES+D and add those
few packages from SuSE if you need them. Or you install SLES+D on top
of SuSE.
I describe what I did for installing SLES+D on top of SuSE 10.1. The
decision you must take is what should be your main system. In my
case, suse-release.rpm is installed, marking the system as a SuSE
system in /etc/SuSE-release. If you start with SLES and install SLED
on top, you will have sles-release.rpm, thus a SLES system + SLED
packets. If you start with SLED, you have a SLED system + SLES rpms
and sled-release.rpm.
Usually that should not be very important.
What I did (very short description because I expect that people who want to
do that know about autoyast, pxe etc.):
- made a local NFS repository for SuSE 10.1
- setup AY installation for SuSE 10.1 from that repository.
Due to some bugs in the 10.1 installer I use the SLES10 installer,
i.e. "linux" and "initrd" from the SLES10 loader/ subdir for PXE.
Note that it is not possible to use the SLES10-SP1 installed for
installing SuSE 10.1, but for combining SLES SP1 and SLED SP1.
- setup an updates/ directory below the SuSE sources with the
create_update_source.sh script from autoyast2-utils.
- rsync all RPMs from SLED-SP1, SLES-SP1 and SDK-SP1 into
that updates/ dir. I.e.,
rsync -avP /{SLED10,SLES10,SDK10}-SP1/suse/
/10.1/SuSE/updates/suse/
You can indeed rsync the i586 and x86_64 versions of SLES/D into
the same updates/suse/ dir. If you install SLED on SLES you don't
need that because they have seperate i586 and x86_64 versions anyway.
- in updates/suse/ call the /usr/bin/create_package_descr script like
create_package_descr -l english -l german -x `pwd`/setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV
or whatever languages you need. The script is part of autoyast2-utils, too.
- make the updates/ dir known by adding sth. like
nfs:10.1/SuSE/updates
to the file /10.1/SuSE/add_on_products
When you start AY now, it will just take the RPMs at SuSE/updates/suse/
as additional RPM repository, not knowing about SLES and SLED. To the best
of my knowledge this is the only way to solve the conflict between SuSE,
SLES and SLED. Any other method (adding the whole SLES directory as addon
product e.g.) will result in a conflict at least between suse-release.rpm,
sles-release.rpm and sled-release.rpm.
Now you can chose your packages in AY or add your own selection (if
based on SuSE) or pattern (if based on SLES) in updates/suse/setup/descr/.
Check the AY mailing list or AY homepage for further details.
One problem I stepped on: We are using lilo and with the new package set
there was some problem when AY tries to write the lilo.conf after installing
all packages. Maybe because I use the SLES10 installer to install packages
from SLES SP1. Some AY libraries seem to be incompatible there. I guess
the problem wouldn't occur when you just install SLED on SLES. For my setup
I just removed "limal-bootloader-*" from the updates/suse/ dir and it worked
again.
Now what about updates: I guess this will be a problem using the SuSE tools
because you system will identify as SuSE or SLES e.g., but you will need
updates for e.g. SLED, too. I never used the SuSE update mechanism, so I can't
tell. We have been using autorpm here for years. This is a perl script that
works on arbitrary directories (or ftp servers) and just scans all RPMs
in there, resolves dependencies and takes the latest versions of all
packages. There are man

Given that you want to be absolutely certain you didn't break it you effectively need to retest. But obviously once again we are serving and relying on hordes of Joe Random Hackers that will retest the driver and report. Single regression for 'normal' user would probably render the whole thing useless. So most certainly maintenance is not done. And actually, most of the testing effort done against the original driver was just rendered useless with the API tweak. No, not at all. That's just not how the Linux kernel development process works, sorry. I can go into the whole testing process if you really want to know, but that has nothing to do with the change of APIs. Well, duh. Of course any change, API or otherwise, can trigger a regression. And the regressions make it sure real life John/Jane Does fail using Linux. I use the word 'regression' because 99.999% of all imaginable things have used to work in some version of Linux.. I find it odd that people who do not have experience in doing Linux kernel development and API changes would insist that the current model we are using is broken... No no, you got this all wrong. I'm not saying I know a better solution - far from it. All I'm trying to say is that current model does *not* serve _regular_ users. Linux is a hacker tool for hackers. That's what the topic was all about. No, not at all. You should be able to drop in a new kernel just fine, with only minor package updates at times. Joe Random Hacker can, regular user can't. rpm -ihv new_kernel_package.rpm zypper install new_kernel_package.rpm You really can't be serious here. Now, please explain in detail what regular user would do if that left him/ her without a working kernel. This happens at least once per month to me. Not a single IT department on this whole planet would allow you to reinstall kernel to get one bloody driver update. It usually takes gazillion geeks to fix the regressions that show'd up. This costs some serious money. Really. or use some gui tool. People do it all the time. And they help us out with testing in ways that we developers can not do. So yes, "regular user" can do this, and they do, every single day. You obviously have very different view of 'regular user' than the rest of us. John/Jane Doe can NOT help you debug a kernel.

And if Microsoft doesn't at least open up the sources for their libraries, eventually people are going to stop slamming their hand in the door on purpose and write in an environment where they do have source for the libraries.

The problem is that such threats are only plausible if the customer doesn't have plenty of data locked in a format that only Autocad can fully understand, or will never receive from partners or potential customers files in such formats that need to be read or modified. Not really likely, see: cfr the Autocad paragraph and links in the second part of: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/focus_format_history/ Same scenario here: > Once Linux captures a significant share of business desktops this won't happen until those business users continue to receive (or are required to send) files in the latest Microsoft Office formats, whatever that is in any given moment. In both cases, the most effective strategy, even if it's unglamourous, to get to the point where you can really do everything you need under Linux may be to demand laws that force all Public Administrations to only accept, store or distribute files in non proprietary formats, or at least formats that are 100% guaranteed to be fully usable under any operating system, with _more_ than one software program. Once businesses know that to keep selling goods or services to the state or city Government they MUST deliver contracts, bids, technical drawings, whatever, in formats that are completely usable with any operating sytems, the rest will happen by itself. And much sooner than if we wait for businesses who couldn't care less of the license of the software they use, not when changing it would make their existing files less readable (= interfere with "business as usual").

It's true there's a mix, but the workhorses of their on-line presence are all Linux. Their data warehouse is based on Oracle, but I'm not sure which OS platform runs it. Many desktops within the organization are Windows, of course, but the software developers mostly use Linux. They do use virtualization, but it's Xen and both the host and guests are Linux. But the preponderance of their operational IT infrastructure is vastly dominated by Linux.

While advocating Linux for the data center the topic was brought up that we should use a "true server" such as FreeBSD UNIX or another UNIX variant. I then reminded my peers that Linux runs several thousands of "true servers" and we should be the ones to talk, since we run Windows Workstations in our data center, with the exception of one ancient HP 3000. Oh, and FWIW, Amazon runs everything - Windows, Linux, UNIX, MacOS. They have no "platform of choice" and run "whatever works" for the API.

Check that clamd actually is running:
rcclamd status
and is set to start at boot:
chkconfig clamd on
and finally, that you call fresh-clam from cron.
Interesting. I never noticed before that the default amavisd setup is
to NOT use clamd as a primary antivirus scanner (but antivir is). Mine
sees antivir as primary and clamscan as secondary. So the problem for
the OP is he only has clamav installed and no primary (by default). I
assume he could correct the socket path and uncomment the section for
clamd to allow it to work as a primary scanner. Best I assume would be
to install a primary scanner from the offering in amavisd.conf, and
leave clamscan as a secondary.

Presumably the OP wanted to boot some other OS off of the USB disk. You are going on about initrd like you ASSUME he is going to boot linux off of a USB. Say he has Windows on the USB device. Then what? You expect that to boot with linux drivers? GRUB is a boot loader, a mini operating system all to itself. It does not relay on Linux. It can boot almost any OS, BUT ONLY if it can read the media.

Interesting. It might be possible to modify the firmware image before re-flashing the device, if it is a bootable disk image. For example, the IPcop router software is available as a bootable image that can be transferred to a flash card and booted on a diskless system. What does "file " show?

Re: [opensuse] question
Victor, I recently had a problem with Google Earth. It had been working fine until a recent update. Then, opening the application caused everything to crash and put me back to the log in prompt. A bit of searching on google came up with this. Check /usr/lib/googleearth to see if you have the file libGL.so.1. If not, then go to http://www.ground-impact.com/libGL.so.1.2. Down load the file and rename it libGL.so.1 and copy it over to /usr/lib/googleearth. That took care of the problem for me.

Don't be so quick to be critical. I took Carlos statement to mean it was not possible on the REMOTE system, but it is certainly possible on his local one, which is all that is required so far as generating keys goes. However, it may not be possible to copy his public key to the "'remote' router with embedded" (linux?). Carlos didn't say what limited commands were available, or whether it was even possible to copy files onto the router.

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 11.0 alpha 1running in VirtualBox container : great way to test a new version!
Hi all, Just thought I'd pass this on in case anyone else wants to try it. I got 11.0 apha1 running in VirtualBox. The first install attempts seemed to work - got all the way through the install, but the first reboot failed with a message. This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU : 0:6 Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. I got some help from the VirtualBox end user forums. Turns out that you can't use the PAE kernel, which is the SuSE default at install time, in a VirtualBox container. Selecting kernel-default and deselecting kernel-PAE at the software configuration step solves the problem. Now I can test 11.0 without even a reboot of 10.3. Cool.

Nvidia linux drivers are always kept up to date, tracking kernel changes within a day or so of kernel releases, are full featured and performance is on par with ms windows. ATI drivers lag kernel and X11 releases by months, are lacking features compared to the windows versions, and performance is bad compared to the windows versions. But it will all be a moot point soon, when the official OSS ATI drivers are in the mainline kernel. At that point I might well agree that ATI is the way to go, but for now, I try to avoid the hassle.

In reading your posts (this one and others), I've not seen any scenario since the crash where disks on SATA ports 3 and 4 work with 10.3, at best they are recognized by the bios. Have you eliminated the possibility of any hardware problems with those two ports? I would suggest booting your Scenario 1 but with the two disks attached to SATA 3 and 4 (instead of 1 and 2). (You might have to adjust /boot/grub/device.map temporarily.) Perhaps boot just one disk at a time? Maybe boot with a live CD to see if there is something specific to 10.3? Not sure what else to suggest. Best of luck. -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry, but providing a "shim" does not protect you from the GPL license of the Linux kernel. The Samba group has proved this many times in the past with lots of precident in going after companies that tried to do this with their code base. The Linux developers have also successfully enforced this in the past, so there really isn't any discenting opinion here among the legal community that works with the GPL. I prefer not to get into the legal details as I spend enough time talking to lawyers. Also, don't take legal advice from a programmer, just like you should not take medical advice from a lawyer.

Works like a charm. That's interesting - we didn't have any luck with that, couldn't ever get the freetds drivers to connect successfully to the pc sql server and ended up going with the easysoft odbc drivers, which worked like a charm out of the box. Does the pc sql server have to be operated in some sort of compatibility mode or something, to allow interoperability with the freetds drivers? I'm curious if we might have missed something.

Just this week I had a friend call and say his big 24" LCD monitor wasn't working anymore - no lights, no display. After poking a lot of buttons I finally figured out that it had just lots it's mind - was listening to the wrong input, was set to partial resolution, a bunch of things. I assume a surge hit the monitor or something. You are saying, I take it, that you do not see even the BIOS messages scrolling by when you first boot up. That makes me wonder if the BIOs is set to send it's output to something other than the AGP/PCIe port. Is there a built-in VGA on the mainboard that you are not using? If so, plug your monitor into it and see if it's getting signal. If so you'll have to go into the BIOS and tell the BIOS to use the AGP/PCIe port (it will probably be an options called "Init Display First" You might also need to clear your CMOS memory. How to do this depends on the specific computer. Its usually done by moving a jumper temporarily. Is the computer turning on at all? Go you get power lights, do the fans start to turn when you turn the computer on? If so and my pervious advice still doesn't work, you might try using a PCI video card too, at least temporarily.

No VGA Input (was: Re: [opensuse] WARNING! - Latest Update Kills Server)
I apologize for not responding to some of you but the symptoms have changed. I'll get to that in a moment. First, I want to clear up some apparently mistaken assumptions about me and my system. From some of the comments, it appears that many of you think I'm a professional system administrator with a 'significant' system. (I take this as a complement, by the way.) While I am an IT professional, I'm not a *professional* system administrator. The system I administrate is a small home network with a server/workstation (the one that's broke), a dual-boot workstation, and a Windows laptop. I guess you could say that I'm a part-time administrator. Now to the new symptoms. I now get no display at all, not even the stuff you normally get when you boot the system. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't any PC monitor display that stuff, regardless of whether or not a driver is installed? All that I do get is "No VGA Input" and "Monitor going to Sleep". This sounds like a hardware problem. I removed my existing card (GeForce 2) and installed a newer one (GeForce FX 5200). No display. Reinstalled the older card. Replaced VGA cable. No display. Removed power for 20 seconds & reconnected power. No display. Replaced monitor with known good monitor. No display. Now I'm really lost. Anybody have any suggestions on how to proceed?

Local mails are sent to smtp.telefonica.net too - including emails of the content filter :-/ I then try: localhost smtp:nimrodel.valinor valinor smtp:nimrodel.valinor nimrodel.valinorsmtp:nimrodel.valinor *smtp:smtp.telefonica.net but I can't send local mails: Jan 25 15:10:04 nimrodel postfix/smtp[721]: 66E8DD2D91: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=0.11, delays=0.11/0/0/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for nimrodel.valinor loops back to myself) So... what is the proper configuration of the transport file, so that all mails are sent through my ISP relay host, with some exceptions, like local mail? I think I also need to define my transport based on the "FROM" address, not the destination, but I don't know or rather forgot if this is possible. Guess I'll have to RTFM.

I have been able to do this using freetds and the php-mssql library which comes packaged in Fadora and RHEL, but my whole system of choice is SUSE. I am a programmer with a “little” knowledge of linux administration, so please forgive me if my questions are not expertly written. As far as I can see, OpenSuse does not have the php-mssql module as part of their distributions.

If I were to compile php from scratch, I would add the configure flag –with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds. It would be easy if I could just compile the module by itself and just add it to my existing setup of SUSE, but don’t know what flags to choose for configure. Or better yet, could I get a file with the list of flags to set as they are in the current compilation of php 5.2.5 as they are in the current compilation of SUSE 10.3 , so I can compile my own complete version of PHP and have the confidence it is configured correctly to use in a production environment by using the same flags as used to setup openSuse 10.3.

Re: [opensuse] Why are there not more using Linux?
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 fai

[opensuse] Strange SATA problems with openSUSE
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?
