Suse 9.1: Microphone doesn't work
by Sune Jespersen 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Hi. With Suse 9.1 on a pentium 4 pc and kernel 2.6.5-7.104-default, I am having trouble getting my mike to work (krecorder, skype). I am using SB Audigy 2 (configured in yast2), and it works well under Win XP on the same pc. The speakers work fine in Linux too. I turned up the mike volume in kmix. Blank screen under kmix input. Any suggestions? Sune -- Sune Nørhøj Jespersen

PGP keyserver
by Danny Sauer 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Ok, so this is really a gpg/pgp question, but what are you guys using for a keyserver? I have "keyserver search.keyserver.net" in my .gnupg/options and it never finds anything + never publishes my darned key. Is there a working keyserver out there somewhere that I can switch over to? This list is about the only place it matters, so I'm looking for opinions from you folks... Thanks. --Danny

yast & wifi
by Josephine 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Hello list got a sony vaio PCG-srx41P with Lucent/IEEE wifi card (orinoco chipset) that worked properly in suse 8.2 now i have 9.1 with 2.6.5-7.108-default kernel, yast2-2.9.60-5, yast2-network-2.9.57-0.2 and no acpi. I first tried to load the orinoco_cs modules, as Yast offered me as default. as iwconfig showed me nothing, i tried, from Yast, to load the prism2_cs modules. after letting yast save the configuration, i did lsmod. no prims2_cs there. to see all changes i tried with yast, I kept kwifimanager open. allthough i set with yast to use channel 6 and I gave the wifi the AP IP address, kwifi continued to show me channel 10 and no AP. so I configured the card the manual way. whoop, i have wifi again. clearly , my suse seemed not to care what I configure with yast. so I straced it and found nice stuff: 18517 stat64("/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/config", 0xbfffea50) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 18532 stat64("/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/wireless", 0xbfffe920) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 18532 stat64("/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifcfg-lo", 0xbfffe920) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) of course there is No such file or directory where yast is trying to write, because what he looks for is in /etc/sysconfig/network/. i tried then configuring the wired network. same problems. i had to manually configure it all. My question is: why is yast writing in the wrong place?? my wifi interface is eth1. how do i make changes permanent (writing to ifcfg-wlan0 helps with nothing)? thanks, Josephine

Hi everyone, I am running a SuSE 9.1 Pro I did all the available security update using YOU. And today i checked the Install/remove module (see SuSE-KDE list) to figure out if there were a problem (some people have to click twice to get it started). I don't have to click twice but surprisingly this message appeared (sorry system is in french !) #### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2004-09-01 19:11:08 #### yast2-packagemanager 2.9.37-0 conflit Requis par : yast2-packagemanager-devel n�essite yast2-packagemanager = 2.9.37- R�olution de conflit : ( ) Downgrade yast2-packagemanager-2.9.52-0.2 to Version 2.9.37-0 ( ) Supprimer tous les paquetages en r��ence 2 Suppression de yast2-core-devel Suppression de yast2-packagemanager-devel ( ) Ignorer ce conflit au risque d'incoh�ences du syst�e yast2-packagemanager-devel 2.9.37-0 conflit R�olution de conflit : ( ) Downgrade yast2-packagemanager-devel-2.9.52-0.2 to Version 2.9.37-0 ( ) Ignorer ce conflit au risque d'incoh�ences du syst�e #### YaST2 conflicts list END ### I didn't install nor remove any yast package myself, but maybe YOU did (security update). Is anyone know what I am suppose to do ?

installing emacs under SuSE9.1
by babu walad 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Folks, I tried installing the emacs packages under SuSE 9.1 and I got stuck at a missing package: emacs_program. The main emacs rpm requires that. I checked the 9.1 ftp server and rpmseek and there is no emacs_program rpm or an rpm containing this file. Any ideas what to do? Thanks, Babu __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
