[opensuse] Bizarre sound issue with Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value using IEC958 Digital Stereo
by Roger Luedecke 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

It was working perfectly, better than in 11.4 which was still glitchy and suddenly its acting worse than before. I made a forum post, but am out of ideas for finding out how to debug it. The link will show you what the issue is and what I have done so far. http://goo.gl/Iut0B -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.

[opensuse] How-to stop/break the automatic installer?! (VMware install)
by Adam Tauno Williams 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

I feel stupid. I'm trying to install openSUSE in VMware workstation. No matter what I do the automatic installer takes off and installs the 'default' [default partitions, KDE, etc...] configuration. I can't get it to let *me* pick the options like it did when I installed on metal. I've told VMware that it is a 'generic' 64-bit operating system, I've started the installer in text mode, an no matter what it just takes off running. I'm installing from an ISO image of the DVD.

After several instances of finding adobe acroread consuming four of my twelve cpu cores and generally warming the cabinet, I have changed firefox to use okular. Should the excessive cpu usage be bug reported. 12.1 gold x86_64 3.1.0-1.2-desktop tumbleweed from 11.4 -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how do I remove openjdk?
by lynn 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Hi 12.1. Yast I try to remove openjdk1.6 but it then selects openjdk1.5 and sets update-alternatives for 1.5. Removing 1.5 installs 1.6 and sets update-alternatives for 1.6. openjdk1.6 is broken: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732679 I installed oracle java jdk1.6.0_29 over the top of openjdk but the installation has to be done by hand, iced tea is still selected for Firefox and has to be removed by hand as is /usr/lib/browser-plugins/javaplugin.so for Chrome which has to be disabled and replaced with/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_29/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so. The oracle version works fine but any Java developer coming new to 12.1 will be totally stuck. Is there an official method for removing openjdk?

Yep. I had the one ooops right after installing 8.0.1. Since then, after a reboot, it has been stable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 12.1 is not a major release

Perhaps, but openSUSE 12.1 is not a major release.

I completely understand your frame of reference, but it simply does not apply here. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.1 Yast CA Management broken
by lynn 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Hi Yast CA management module is broken in both 32 and 64 bit versions of 12.1 I've filed a buzilla under 'other' as there is no section for 12.1 bugs as of an hour or so ago. The error is: Error while creating client module ca_mgm Meanwhile, can anyone recommend a tool where I can create a CA certificate to sign a servercert and key to use with the ldap module? I need to be able to specify the CN of the cert. Thanks L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
