[opensuse] No stream found to handle url dvd://1 opensuse 11.1 mplayer
by Dog Walker 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

I get the message "No stream found to handle url dvd://1" in a dialog when trying to play a DVD in the graphic interface of mplayer (gmplayer). I can play the DVD without problem using the command line interface mplayer. (But before it would work I had to do this: sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/mplayer) gmplayer's preferences have the video device /dev/dvd which is symbolically linked to /dev/sr0. All permissions are the same on 11.1 as on a working opensuse 10.2. gmplayer plays .avi and .mp3 without incident. ftw, both xine and kaffeine will not play the DVD. -- I have seen the future and I'm not in it! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox 3.0.12 newer than Firefox 3.5.0?

I know the cause for this, my update repo is higher priority than the Mozilla repo but that is just crazy. Doesn't YOU and kde-updater program also take version numbers into account? -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."

[opensuse] Whoa, top shows CPU use at 160% on a Phenom 9850
by David C. Rankin 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Listmates, Curious. I've never really put my server under much of a load, but tonight with my dvd creation headaches creating ifo files, I decided to use the ifoedit under windows to see if that would work without demuxing, decoding the perfectly good vob files I had. I have xp as a guest under virtualbox, so from my laptop I used tightVNC to establish a remote session, fired up virtualbox, started xp allocating 2G to the gues, loaded ifoedit, and pressed the go button. It is working great, you just give it the starting vob file and it will step though the remaining vobs in the set creating new ifo files for you. Since processing video takes a while, I thought I would look at the load the server was under and started first with top. top showed 152%, then 157% then 160% and then bounced around between 150-160%. I guess that is due to the quad core and top probably handling 2 cores fine, but getting confused with 4. Anybody else see this? Does it need reporting? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] nvidia fan NOISE -- again .. initial temp causes loss of fan control
by David C. Rankin 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Listmates, Nvidia graphic card fan noise has always been an interesting challenge. I have run into it again, this time with a couple of new symptoms and I thought I would put this out to the collective wisdom of the group to see if any new solutions were available. Scenario One box has a msi k9n2 platinum board with a phenom 9850 processor and an evga 8800gt in it. I thought I would stick a spare 9600gt in it to compare specs (9600 being slightly faster in both core and memory clocks than the 8800 (700/950) compared to (650/800). When the 9600 was first booted (cold) all was fine, the fans spun up and made lots of noise until kdm was started (normal) and then fan control proceeded fine. Card temp hovered between 49-52 degrees. I booted the machine again to boot another OS and this time, the fans speed stayed at "launch" speed making all kinds of racket. The card temps were the same 49-52 degrees. WTF? For those with similar cards, you know how loud these fans can be. I went through the normal steps, installed nvclock, played with --fanspeed and nothing changed. It was like the fan was locked at 100% and stayed there no matter what --fanspeed was set to. I could change the --fanspeed parameter just fine and the software indication from "nvclock --info" changed accordingly, but there was No hardware effect at all. So I swapped the 8800 back in thinking I would try another cold boot with the 9600 after it cooled. (It wasn't that warm on removal, very comfortable to the touch even on the heat-sink). An hour or so later I booted the 9600 again and like the first time, it booted just fine and fan control proceeded just fine. However, if a reboot is needed, then the fan will stick and 100% again until then next time it is cold booted. I have experienced this behavior on both the 8800 and 9600 cards. The actual card temp doesn't seem to matter. If the card is the least bit warm on boot, the fan sticks at 100%. Does anybody know of a workaround for this problem?? (Yes, I know about the $60 Zalman solution) The problem is obviously driver related and how the initial card temp effects fan control on boot. Is there anywhere to report this information withing openSuSE (like some opensuse-nvidia group) or is this just something to feed back to nvidia? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Problem with shortcut trigger in KDE-3.5x vs KDE-4.x
by Roman B. 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Listmates When I was using KDE-3.5 , I created a shortcut trigger ALT+CTRL+K to open konsole. After transitioning to KDE-4.x, I noticed that I could no longer use this trigger sequence. It always switches to CTRL+ALT+K The problem is KDE-4.x has assigned CTRL+ALT+K as a shortcut trigger for switching keyboard languages. I'm wondering if this is a bug? Any thoughts? Cheers!

[opensuse] seek answer for boot sequence
by aXqd 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hi, all: I want to make one of my init.d script *START* in the END of bootup process, and meanwhile, *STOP* in the END of shutdown/reboot process. On redhat, I can just change the numbers to adjust the boot/shutdown order of my init.d scripts. Can I do the same on openSUSE? I am not quite familiar with the dependency things. Thanks in advance. -- Best Regards. -Tian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] format 160Go fat 32 hard drive
by jdd 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hello :-) Can you give me the right options to format with FAT32 a 160Gb hard drive (USB). I need it to use with a databank (flash card copier) that reads nothing else. I *could* format it successfully with a windows utility (but with XP in virtualbox, not handy), but would like to do in linux :-) mkdosfs -F32 -n photos -v /dev/sdb1 seems to work but ends in some seconds (too fast) and the result is not seen by the device thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
