[opensuse] Router? Splitter?...
by Insomniac 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm looking into getting satellite internet, since all the dial-up ISP's are making it harder and harder for me to stay online the amount of time that I do (I'm disabled and being on the computer is all I have to keep myself occupied and from going insane with nothing to do). My mom will also be sharing the satellite hookup too, so we only have to pay for one modem etc. My question is: What would be best to use so that all I have to do is run a cable from her computer and one from my computer to the modem. I mean, how should I set it up so that both of us can use the same, single satellite modem? What would be best, and most importantly, easiest? Also, will our opensuse 11.3 pick up this new connection readily? Or will I have to do a bunch of cli stuff and wondering what and how to get connected? Any advice and help with this is greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] How to remove a user from the group "users"
by Sven Hartrumpf 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi all. I am trying to remove a user from the group "users" (for reasons of access rights): in yast, I changed the default group for this user from "users" to "nogroup". But afterwards I still get for this user: > groups nogroup users Anything to restart?

[opensuse] EliteBook 8460w, openSuSE 11.4 and graphics card driver
by Peter 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

I have been given a HP EliteBook 8460w, and I have made it dual boot with openSuSE 11.4 64-bit, but there is no working driver for the graphics card, AMD FirePro M3900 Mobility. I have visited the AMD web site looking for a driver, but they pointed me to HP, who only have drivers for SuSE Linux SLED 11 SP1 (2.6.32.12 Kernel), and having spent time on the phone with HP, they suggested getting back to AMD. Does anyone have any suggestions to get a driver for this graphics card that will run under 11.4. Thanks in advance Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dmesg in Gui?
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

In former versions of Yast I remember that there was a possibility to look at the boot log, get a list of warnings, errors and lots more info in an automated way. I have the feeling that such diagnostic program is really missing because the Yast program gave nicely portioned parts of what has now to be done with dmesg and grep etc.. Is there some Gui program which could do as the old Yast could do? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-rc4-2-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.4 (4.6.4) 20:50pm up 2:23, 3 users, load average: 1.02, 0.45, 0.42 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

In my dmesg I have a lot of message lines which all start with and have all the same content. Googling gave me discussions since 2004 but no real solution. The only info somewhere was that it is: Multicast DNS, if you don't need it, disable it edit your /etc/host.conf and set mdns off For the time being I have disabled mdns but would like to find some background information. Do I need Multicast? Why does this message creeps into Linux since 2004? Whatis SFW2? Something that drops does not sound good. What drops? Somebody with answers? One of the complete lines I find the dmesg full with is: [60253.528099] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=5e:61:19:e7:2a:36:00:25:86:cf:8d:ae:08:00 SRC=64.41.4.144 DST=192.168.1.101 LEN=54 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=113 ID=6668 PROTO=UDP SPT=27896 DPT=1620 LEN=34 -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-rc4-2-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.4 (4.6.4) 11:16am up 17:01, 3 users, load average: 0.46, 0.36, 0.82 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] If I got SLES would my problems be solved quicker?

There has been a lot of progress in the plasmoid so trying it is definitely worth it. Yeah. Thanks. Only just got around to it. It works well with supported wirless chipsets. But it still doesn't work with broadcom. I tried to install one and ended up having to leave her with a cable. This and graphic tablets still need attention I would say. Then opesuse would be a killer. Unless you pay for a wacom and even then it doesn't work. The Samba with apparmor still doesn't work. Serious network users need networking That Works out of the box. If I bought SLES would my problems be solved faster? Cheers. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

My friend has a problem with his sound, when using speakers on his rear connection all sound is making a strange crackling sound. This machine didn't have the issue under its previous operating system. Also when headphones are plugged.into the front headphones socket the sound is not turning off at the back is it possible to configure this? I have included the hardware profile below.

27 Jun '11

I have noticed that the configuration file for DVB tunner for Paris area, found in this location: /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/fr-Paris is too old and needs to be updated. I have been able to do so and I would like to propose to change the old settings file. Could someone tell me which person should I contact for this ? thanks Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
