9.1 unuseably slow
by David Bottrill 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

We received a copy of 9.1 today at work and I have installed this on three machines with dissapointing results. The first machine was an IBM Thinkpad R40 with a Centino 1600 CPU. This machine worked fine and the performance was great. The second and third machines were unusable, KDE takes serveral minutes to start, attempting to start YAST for instance will take about a minute for the SU box to appear and then another minute for YAST to load. I get similar results for all applications I have tried, in all instances the system performs like a P100 with very little RAM. The machines that run slowly are both Athlon XP based machines, one being an Athlon XP 2400 with 1GB of DDR RAM on an ECS Elite motherboard. The second machine is an XP2000 with 512MB of PC3200 RAM on a PCChips motherboard. I have applied all the updates with no effect. Any ideas would be appreciated, I've had to switch back to 9.0 as the whole 9.1 experience is unuseable has anybody got any ideas?

DVD playback...
by Matthew 14 May '04

14 May '04

Good day, Yes there are legal reasons why SuSE cannot have DVD playback of those pesky movies, but what be done? Would it be too expensive for Novell/SuSE to license a codec? Seems like there is a new copyright law in Germany that has made PackMan be more cautious. No one has made a player for Linux that is 100% legal, is it due to expense? Matt

Works smooth as silk if I stop Setiathome, but remains unusuable if seti or anything cpu intensive is running. This in itself isn't so bad, except that I didn't have this problem under 8.1 and 8.0, where I had seti runing with nice=1 all the time and OOo was working smoothly. Just trying to understand this Thanks Hans

Hi Folks, I can't seem to get any of the Screen Savers to start in Gnome, though they are all working in KDE... or are they only for KDE? They are in the Gnome menu:system Screen Savers. Thanks (i know they aren't so important)

SuSE 9.0 install on HP W4000 using S-ATA disks only
by Joaquim Homrighausen 14 Nov '03

14 Nov '03

I am having trouble installing SuSE 9.0 Pro on a brand new HP W4000 that is configured only with a S-ATA disk (120GB) attached to the motherboard. Other configuration options include 1GB ECC RAM; everything else is pretty much standard. It just doesn't want to work -- -Joaquim

Can anyone recommend a DVD player that works in SuSE. (plays both cds and dvds) I'm thinking an I/O magic as I can't find any of the devices on the hardware compatibility lists in shops. Thanks Thom Nuzum thom(a)cavtel.net
