[opensuse] Call for testers
by Dominique Leuenberger 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hello everybody, during the openSUSE Packaging Day(s) [1] last weekend, I 'created' several packages. It was a very nice atmosphere in the channel and I felt people were very helpful to each other. I would like to express a big thank you at this place to all participants! I would like to get some testing on them, so I can start moving them to some more prominent places (especially out of home:). the packages are: * Misfit Model 3D (3D modeling) As requested by Beineri... I have no clue what that product should be able to do (it starts at mine). So please: give it a test run and if you tell me it's ok, we'll try finding a nice place for it * Nautilus Image Converter (from the gnome-wish list) A very nice small addon for Nautilus (resize / convert images with right clicks). It works (I have it installed myself), but more testing is always welcome. -> I would somehow like to see this in GNOME:Community or GNOME:Stable, opting even for Distro inclusion. * KCometen3 (OpenGL KDE Screen saver / ready. Thank you Dirk!) As requested by Beineri. He made a short test and it seemed ok for him. I lack KDE, so I can't test myself. * FreeCol (games-wish list / ready) A nice looking game. With some test reports, I will move it to games:strategy:turn-based * Comix (gnome-wish list / ready.. tester needed!) Was a request from the Gnome Wishlist. I have no CBR files and can thus not test much. The program starts though. Testers and feedback wanted please. * Tomboy-Reminder 0.9 (gnome-wish list / not compatible with tomboy >= 0.7.2 thus only package for OS 10.2) This PlugIn for Tomboy was packaged. But only for openSUSE 10.2. Tomboy changed the interface with Version 0.7.2, and they do not have Plugins anymore. They now have Addins. So I'll try to get in touch with the original Author to see if there is an update available / planned. Testing is welcome here too * Super Maryo Chronicles (games-wish list) That one was a nasty chicken: packaging did not cause much trouble (sound addon is missing yet), but on start it segfaulted. The problem was localized in the used libdevil 1.6.8rc2 library (copied from games:libs) and a patch was added to that library. So if you should wish to test this game, please make sure to take libdevil also from my home: repo! After the lib will be updated in games:libs (maintainer contacted already), I will move the game to games:arcade So now, where can you find all those goodies? Head right over to [2] Thanks for your valuable testing time!

[opensuse] Any news on SiS SATA problem
by Bob 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Each kernel update gets me excited as I hope they will have solved the problem of openSUSE 10.3 being unable to see SATA hard-drives with certain SATA chipsets (SiS being one of them). I have just upgraded to 2.6.22.13-0.3-default, but my second (SATA) drive is still unusable :( Fortunately, my other drive is EIDE. Does anyone know when a patched kernel will be available? -- Bob openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default, KDE 3.5.7 r72 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] lvm on raid
by Hans Witvliet 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi all, Followed the thraid on raid, and thought to have another spin at it, Read the pointers "how install SL on soft-raid" and lvm-on-raid. In the example the make two raid-devices, md0 and md1 md0 is used for root and md1 is the physical volume for the lvm. However, from yast, during install, after creating md1, you can either format the md1, with the options of ext2,ext2,swap,vfat,etc etc. Or choose not to format. But here, it is not possible to choose to label it with lvm Did I miss something (the obvious option) or is there something missing in Yast??

[opensuse] unable to activate Auto-Scan (KlamAV)
by williamkow 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

I would like to ask about the KlamAV's Auto_Scan. When I “Enable Auto-Scan” for KlamAV, it prompt ..need to load 'dazuko' first which allow KlamAV to gain real-access to files...”. Then I click “Load Module” button, then enter root password, when it prompted, then it prompt error message : Dazuko was not loaded successfully. Please check your installation. But I have already installed dazuko in YaST, before trying activate the Auto-Scan. BTW, my computer is running OpenSUSE 10.3 (KDE), please advise me.

[opensuse] soundcard disappearing
by benefici＠fastmail.fm 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi, My PC has two sound cards, one integrated (HDA NVidia adapter in an ASUS M2N-E motherboard) and a Sound Blaster Live Value. Both are configured in Yast. Additionally, I also have a webcam (Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000). This webcam is also registered as a USB sound device. That's a total of 3 devices out of which I usually get 2 working after a boot, the SB Live card is not working usually. After "rcalsasound restart" I get the HDA NVidia and SB Live cards both working but the USB device disappears. I don't really care about the mic in the webcam, I think it never actually worked but would like to have the SB Live card to be always available. Any idea why it doesn't always show up and how to fix this? I have openSUSE 10.3 with the default kernel (2.6.22.13-0.3-default) and alsa-1.0.14-31.

[opensuse] audio trouble in Opensuse 10.3 ... after login
by Gene A. Anderson 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

I'm a fairly new Linux user who is completely new to Opensuse. I have recently installed the Gnome desktop version of Opensuse 10.3 to an old Compaq Presario desktop computer that also can boot up in Windows 2000. When I login the desktop icon for the volume control has a red X. When I click on it I get the following error message: "This volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed or that you don't have a sound card configured." The YaST sound configuration window shows that the ESS1988 Allegro-1 was configured as sound card number 0. It also lists the driver as snd_maestro3. So that seems like the card is being found. Most bizarre to me is that in the login window when my cursor is in the empty field in which to type my user name, I can hit the backspace key and get a healthy beep out of the speakers as if the sound card is correctly configured and ready to work and somehow the login process disrupts that, because after logging in I can get no sound whatsoever out of the speakers. I'm looking for any suggestions and I'm willing to provide any information that would be helpful. Please remember that I am something of a beginner, so please try to keep that in mind when advising me. Thank you.

[opensuse] 10.2 - printing sorta works
by Felix Miata 04 Dec '07

My printer is a LaserJet 4M with PS on ethernet. Printing a test page with YaST, or web pages with FF, SM & Konq all work, but no matter what app I use to try to print a PDF, the online and form feed lights do their thing, but after a while stop without ever printing anything. Anyone know what to look for? -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God." John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Trying to install the sk98lin driver for a Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet controller, I run into an error message saying "Kernel header not found. Please install the linux header files development package." There are several header files on the Software Management list in Opensuse 10.3 but I cannot identify the appropriate file(s).
