[opensuse] From a Newbie
Hi Guys, First of all greetings and congratulations for building such a wonderful linux distro. I have a long 8 years of hardcore windows programming, delved a lot into windows internals, embedded, systems stuff. After this bout, I thought I had enough of ms windows and shifted my base to linux. Wiped of windows completely from my laptop (AMD 64 Turion, 756 MB RAM, 80 GB HDD).....and since last one month , my everyday computing - programming is based on linux, I must say I am totally at ease and enjoying linux thoroughly ... TUX just rocks ... However I had certain observations. I do not know, whether I am posting this in the right forum or whether these can be at all called bugs..., I thought of sharing these infos ... 1. For some reason the Volume of my laptop speakers sounds lot less and mild as compared to the same volume level in windows. 2. Irrespective of the fact, that I had set a LOGIN and LOGOFF sound in open Suse 10.1, but whenever I am booting in GNOME, I do not hear the login/log off sound. This shows a irregular pattern where sometimes I hear the sounds and sometimes I do not ........ However, with KDE, this works absolutely fine. (I have a Conexant AC'97 Audio controller...) 3. Even If I have given correct settings in the Power Management module, even when my laptop is on battery powered, it shows the AC Plug icon in the system tray and as a tool tip, it shows (AC Powered fully charged ...) (This happens both in GNOME and KDE) ....And one day I got misleaded by this tooltip and after a full battery discharge without any warning, my laptop went to a power off mode. I lost some data. The only thing I can mention, is while my laptop boots to linux, two tasks among all other shows a failure status.. which are 1. Loading IRQ Balance ..... (this fails some times and some times it works fine..._) 2. Failure to Load the Dazuko Kernel module ..... (no idea what it is...) Other than this, all tasks shows a 'done/success' status. Could anybody throw some pointer on the above issues.... I had initially started with open Suse 10.0 and then my friend informed me about the availability of 10.1, and I moved to 10.1 thereafter. Somehow, its just a feeling that in performace, open Suse 10.0 is faster than 10.1. Otherwise, I am perfectly fine and comfortable with linux, and believe me its my first peek into non windows systems... My eternal love for C/C++ has increased further with my experiences in Linux .... Great work guys, and with the stuffs delievered as 10.0 and 10.1, I have a lot of expectations from 10.2 .....

I have a serious doubt that you had 'hardcore' programming. If you write your code like your mails, I can imagine what your definition of 'hardcore' means. Do not take this as an offense, but it's like that: it sounds ridiculous.
1. For some reason the Volume of my laptop speakers sounds lot less and mild as compared to the same volume level in windows.
No one ever said they are the same. Depending on hardware, volume control is more or less precise. Some hardware divides the available volume range into 8, 16, 32 or 64 points, and your Volume Level Program maps that onto a bar from 0 to 100%. This division leads to spurious happenings like going from 57% to 59% instead to 58% - this is the 'roundup' error you get. Maybe Windows handles this differently, but what most annoys me about "mild" is that some soundcards are so terribly silent that maxing their volume can barely build some proper volume level on (non-amplified) headphones. Then, it's just better that Linux has high volumes (as in dB) at low values. One can always turn down the volume, but turning it up has a limit.
2. Irrespective of the fact, that I had set a LOGIN and LOGOFF sound in open Suse 10.1, but whenever I am booting in GNOME, I do not hear the login/log off sound.
You probably set the KDE login/logoff sound.
3. Even If I have given correct settings in the Power Management module, even when my laptop is on battery powered, it shows the AC Plug icon in the system tray and as a tool tip, it shows (AC Powered fully
Run `powersave -B` from a console and see if it says battery or AC Online. Any program that differs from what powersave says is broken.
1. Loading IRQ Balance ..... (this fails some times and some times it works fine..._)
In case you have a uniprocessor, this should not fail but rather be skipped.
2. Failure to Load the Dazuko Kernel module ..... (no idea what it is...)
Neither do I, since it is not included in the normal SUSE Linux.
Could anybody throw some pointer on the above issues....

I had initially started with open Suse 10.0 and then my friend informed me about the availability of 10.1, and I moved to 10.1 thereafter. Somehow, its just a feeling that in performace, open Suse 10.0 is faster than 10.1.
Of course. If you try to run a SUSE 6.x nowadays, it is ultra-fast. Which means that all programs are becoming fat over time.
Otherwise, I am perfectly fine and comfortable with linux, and believe me its my first peek into non windows systems... My eternal love for C/C++ has increased further with my experiences in Linux ....
Try Cygwin, giving you an UNIX environment on Win32.

Yes it is. It is a kernel module that enables file access monitoring for Antivir. It gets installed when you install antivir (see hbedv-dazuko-kmp-default.rpm

Conflicts with AppArmor I guess. Ciao, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
