Groupwise 8 + OpenSUSE 11.1

To use the Groupwise 8 client on OpenSUSE 11.1 x86_64 I had to:

sudo zypper in openmotif22-libs-32bit libstdc++33-32bit

After extracting the package, run ./install and it should work.

OpenSUSE 11 fglrx

I bought a HD3870 ATI card, and for some strange reason, using the proprietary catalyst driver on OpenSUSE 11, just by feel mind you, not benchmarks, is about 2x slower with compiz than Ubuntu. What does Ubuntu do that is different than OpenSUSE that could cause this? Both distro’s are using Xorg 7.3 so I am a bit confused. Compiz on OpenSUSE is 0.7.6, on Hardy its 0.7.4 but I couldn’t see that making that big of difference.

Anyone else experience this? One thing to make firefox usable I did is disable smooth scrolling, but the effects on windows are still very slow.

On a side note, DropBox works great on my Ubuntu box and OpenSUSE box, definitely a cool tool.

Haproxy packages

HAProxy is used for load balancing. There was a restructure for the queue system:

“haproxy versions 1.3.15.2 and 1.3.14.6 have been released to fix a major bug in request queue handling. The problem was that due to a design problem, it was possible for new requests to be immediately served by a server before a request in queue would be served. That caused some requests to remain in queue until they reached the queue timeout, after which either they would eventually be served, or return a 503 error code to the client”

So if you don’t want to return errant 503 codes, you should update your packages. I made packages for Ubuntu Hardy, SLES 9, SLES 10 and OpenSUSE 11, if you test them and they don’t work let me know.

Packages:
Ubuntu Launchpad PPA
OpenSUSE Build Service Repo
