I am converting over from being a windoz / red hat user to suse, and I love it. The best desktop distro ever made IMHO. I do have 2 questions that I am hoping someone can answer for me.
Welcome to SuSE.....
1) I have a samba server on my network, and I mapped a folder to it with this command:
mount -t smbfs -o username=rob,password=xxxxxx //192.168.1.69/data /data
It connects great, but when I try to copy files over 10 megs, My suse stalls and just sits there until I kill it or reboot it.
I had this problem long ago... and it's not a question asked very often. What solved it for me was to replace the following line in your /etc/samba/smb.conf socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY with: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=32768 SO_SNDBUF=32768 SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY (all one statement) My symptoms were the same as yours. Worked ok on small files, would die on large ones. Give it a try.
2) I am sure this is a common question, but I have not figured out how to do this. I have a bunch of wmv files, but can not play them. I tried to instal vlc, but I was missing a bunch of dependancies even after using this link http://packman.links2linux.de/?action=377.
I tried to install the w32codec-0.90-3.pm.0.i386.rpm, and it installed fine, but still no playing of the wmv files.
Is there some way of getting these to play?
I look forward to being an active member of this great distro! I am sooooo excited to almost be rid of windoz forever!
Thanks in advanced
Rob
