[opensuse] sound problem after reboot
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

After every reboot I end up with all sound volumes reset to zero. Can be solved by using yast but this setting does not remain after a reboot. So I would like to find out where I could remove the resetting of the sound volume or which file I could edit to fix the volume settings. I have this problem since 11.4 and have never been able to find the culprit. This machine is updated since an original 12.0 so it may be a left over from an older version. -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 12.3 Milestone 0 (i586) Kernel: 3.6.0-rc7-1-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.9.1 "release 561") 11:24am up 0:14, 1 user, load average: 0.62, 2.31, 2.31 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Lenovo G470 intermittent Boot problem
by Marco Calistri 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Hello openSUSers, First of all this post could be classified as Out-of-topic since it is not related upon operating system issues but just on hardware or possibly system firmware, but I would like to try if somebody could provide useful suggestions regarding a very strange problem I am facing out on my Lenovo G470 notebook. Whenever I try to boot the machine after it was powered off since several hours, it fails repeatedly, I see just the power-on and battery led on, no screen bios information at all nor hdd activity, just a blank screen. By insisting several times to power on, then suddenly it boots showing bios menu and finally the operating system went initialized (Windows 7 in this case). Sometimes happens that after few minutes the system shut-down spontaneously and reboot itself but normally after this random behaviour it stays on stable and working perfectly until I power-off. I already opened a maintenance ticket with Lenovo and I am ready to deliver my notebook to authorized center for repair but I would like to know if somebody could guess which kind of failure may be causing this issue. Thanks.

[opensuse] OpenSuse 11.4 and bad Java installs
by James D. Parra 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Hello, I've have wrecked my Java build on my 11.4 box and I am having a hell of time getting it to work properly. After installing and uninstalling each of the following; jre-6u35-linux-x64-rpm.bin, jre-7u7-linux-i586.rpm, jre-7u7-linux-x64.rpm, ...,I finally installed openjdk and its corresponding plugin to finally get some java capabilities in my browsers, Firefox, etc. However, I still get javascript errors on many webpages and I am almost at wits end. I would like to start from scratch by uninstalling all instances of Java and clean up /etc/alternatives, or whatever needs to be done to get a nice clean, properly linked java install with the browser plugins working properly. Could someone point me to a link or howto that can show me how to accomplish this? Many thanks in advance, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
