Soundcard problems
by Klaus-F. Kaal 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Hi, my soundcard was auto-configured and works fine. Unless I change the user in KDE. Then, I have to go to yast, delete the soundcard from the soundconfiguration list. Then I add a new soundcard which is recogized well and installed. After that, the sound works again. The soundcard is aVT8233/A8235/8237 AC97 Audio Contoller Type. Any hints, what to do? Thanks Klaus

by Thomas Wedehase 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

Hallo Liste, seit kurzem habe ich zwei Konten bei KMail eingerichtet, wenn ich nun die Emails abrufe funktioniert dies auch wunderbar, nur wird mein System unheimlich langsam während die Emails abgerufen werden. Hat jemand dieses Phänomen beobachtet oder kann mir sagen ob ich das irgendwie ändern kann?? Gruß -- Thomas Wedehase Nuernberg, Germany www.thomaswedehase.com PGP-KEY: 0x3337F9AC

KDE: cannot log in as root
by Klaus-F. Kaal 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

Hi, I installed Suse 9.0 and upgraded via 9.1 to 9.2. Under 9.0, I could login KDE as root without a problem. Since my upgrade to 9.1, this does not work anymore. If I try to login as root, the screen turns to black for 3 secs, then the login-box comes up again without any warning. The log writes for that time: ------ Jun 12 13:45:03 netcharly kdm: :0[14039]: pam_unix2: session started for user root, service xdm Jun 12 13:45:03 netcharly kdm: :0[14039]: pam_unix2: session finished for user root, service xdm ------ I checked KDM for AllowRootLogin. But this is set to true. Any thoughts, what this could be?? Thanks for your hints. Klaus

Mounting Reiserfs partition
by Vladimir Niksic 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

I just bought a new hard disk, made partitions with fdisk, and formatted it using mkreiserfs. I edited /etc/fstab for that partition: /dev/hdb1 /data reiserfs defaults,user 0 0 I can mount it just fine, but I can't write a single byte to the partition as a user. I'm obviously missing something here, but I don't know what. What else do I have to add to this line so I can write to the partition as user. Thanks in advance.

What does and 'ls -ld /data' show?

Suse crashing very reliable
by Matthias Pospiech 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Two Problems (Suse 9.3, KDE 3.4.0/1) 1. Konqueror crashes when deleting files 2. System/KDE crashing when halting the system. I end in X-Window with a black screen with only the mouse pointer. The Console is blinking in every color of the visible spektrum. The 2. Error means that I cannot turn off the computer. I have to press the power button. Other people have the same problem as shown in http://www.linux-club.de/viewtopic.php?t=34608 Both errors mean that I cannot recommand Suse 9.3 at the moment.

RE: [suse-kde] Odd KDM behaving, all users listed, profiles
by Black, Alain 09 Jun '05

Verner, Can you telnet/ssh into the machine from another computer when it's hung at the blue screen? Check your /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager and /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. For KDE windowmanager should have: DEFAULT_WM="kde" And displaymanager should contain: DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" The only times I've had a similar experience is when those got changed to a different window manager, twm or something similar. Also, check the dates on those files to ensure that they haven't been updated anytime recently. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Verner Kjærsgaard [mailto:vk@os-academy.dk] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 2:14 PM To: suse-kde(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-kde] Odd KDM behaving, all users listed, profiles Hi list, - I've ended up in a mess, now hear this... My SuSE9.3/KDE plain vanilla used to work like a breeze - with profiles and all. Somehow, while setting up the ThinkPad to work in a temporarily new wireless environment, I landed at this scenario: a) I edit /etc/inittab into runlevel 3. This causes a (as expected) textmode boot-up from where I can log in and to "startx". All is normal and life is good. However, if I (in textmode) fire up "mc", I get the most strange linedrawing characters. I.e., "mc" is useable, but looks very odd. b) I edit /etc/inittab or YAST into runlevel 5. Reboot. Now I get KDM with a list of ALL users and systemusers (from /etc/passwd I think) listed. If lucky, with a working keyboard and I can log in. But, alas, only to a blue background with a very primitive Xterm - that doesn't respond to the keypad. I cannot do CTRL-ALT-F1/F2 etc., to get a shell. I cannot do anything - only switch off the machine. This leaves the runlevel set to 5, so a rescue CD is in order. Once fixed I'm back in scenario a). Question: where does KDM get its list of users from, where is (if any) its configuration file? How to get back normal life again? And, oh, thank you in advance and sorry for this long writing! -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Open Source Academy www.os-academy.dk Denmark +45 56964223 +45 2014 5551 ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, email: suse-kde-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands, email: suse-kde-help(a)suse.com Please do not cross-post to suse-linux-e
