Actually, it fails on the configure. Using the line, "./configure --enable-gui," I get the following error:

Checking for FLAC support ... yes (using internal libmpflac) yes Checking for inet6 ... yes Checking for gethostbyname2 ... yes Checking for GUI ... yes Checking for XShape extension ... yes Checking for gtk version ... Error: the GUI requires GTK (which was not found)

Last line of configure.log is:

============ Checking for gtk version ============

I had the same problem, it is because GTK (and GLIB) are in non-standard directories. Use the following line: ./configure --enable-gui --with-gtk-config=/opt/gnome/bin/gtk-config --with-glib-config=/opt/gnome/bin/glib-config it worked on my system, although I get an error about subfont.ttf on startup. I haven't tried to play anything yet. I just found rpms for SuSE 9 at: http://packman.links2linux.de/?action=128 just finished downloading them, I'll let you know how they work. -- Hugh mailto: hrtlist@cpia.jhu.edu

Thanks Hugh - that worked. I got around the subfont.ttf error by making a symbolic link to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf from $HOME/.mplayer/subfont.ttf -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER@CONSOLIDATEDLINT.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE

Glad it worked. I didn't think of doing the link to fix the subfont error, ended up using the rpms. Do you know of anyway to prevent the player from opening in the lower right corner (hidden by the menu bar), I had the same problem on my old Redhat system also.

I did not need to do a symbolic, just the fonts through the preferences menu. You can browse to the directory containing the fonts. Hope that helps - Stan

Or... you could read the documentation for MPlayer... which tells you: 1. Download a font pack from the MPlayer site 2. Uncompress the font pack which will give you 4 directories... one for each of 4 font point sizes. 3. Copy the contents of one of the 4 diectories to $HOME/.mplayer/font

That's all you have to do... none of the messing about with symlinking etc....just read the docs... it is in there.. albeit buried a bit deeply.

C. IIRC, it was the MPlayer docs that told me to use the symlink.

I have this problem as well. I have a Toshiba Satallite with an Orinoco Gold pcmcia card. Thing is, the card works fine with my Windows XP partition, it's worked well with my distributions of Red Hat and Mandrake and EVEN worked on Suse 8.2. I know it works because when it didn't work with Suse 9, I blew away the linux partition and reloaded Suse 8.2. Wireless came up and worked like a champ. So I dropped my Suse 9 cd in and reloaded that, immediately stopped working. Built in Ethernet works great, rewrites the resolv.conf file and life is dandy. But the minute I put that wireless card in, the only thing I get in is an ip address, and the only thing in resolv.conf is my domain name. So, if anyone from Suse is listening in, this isn't an isolated problem. You've downgraded the wireless performance. Really hope someone comes out with a fix that DOESN'T involve manually setting routes and manually configuring the resolv.conf file. We never had to do it before, shouldn't have to do it now.

Initially I thought I would have to set my gateway to my router's address (192.168.1.1) but I've found that doesn't make a difference. I've tried this at home (w/ a Linksys router). Even if I activate eht0

(embedded wired nic) first & get the nameserver info entered into resolv.conf then turn off eth0 I cannot get past a my router. Furthermore when I plug the ethernet back in and remove the wireless nic & restart the network service (/etc/rc.d/network restart) I still cannot get out. From that point I'm stuck with a reboot and letting the system come up without the wireless nic installed.

I guess the first question would be: Does anyone know why my wireless will not acquire the nameserver info whereas the embedded nic will?

Secondly, even once I enter the nameserver info manually, why will the wireless not hit the Internet?

I have my SSID & encryption set correctly or I wouldn't be getting even an ip address & the ability to browse the internal network. I've also tried turning the encryption off to rule that out but with no luck. Also as FYI I've not touched the firewall this time. I've went with the default install settings.

Any ideas? You have not told us about your setup. I am guessing some form of broadband router connected by ethernet to a wireless access point, or directly to the PC. So when you ask the access point, via dhcp, for an IP you also get routing infomation. But when you ask the access point you get only an IP. If this is the problem then try reconfiguring the access point to pass DHCP though to the router. David

Gentlemen, Check a bit farther down the list archives -- within the last day or so. I recall that someone had worked around the problem by connecting to his network first by cable, then somehow copying the information from that version of resolv.conf to the version his wireless card looks at.

I havn't seen that post, but I've read similar ones. Unless everytime after that it would always use the copied resolv.conf information whenever I connect to wireless, this really isn't that useful. What's the point of having a wireless network if the only way you can make it work is to connect to ethernet before enabling your wireless card. The point is, it worked in 8.2, it doesn't work in 9. So it must be a change somewhere. I'll have to check into the susefirewall posting. I didn't notice if it got installed or if it was even enabled. I'm thinking it's not, but worth looking into.

Pete - I did see that posted yesterday I believe, and I tried it last night to no avail. In theory that work-around should work, but it didn't for me. Also in theory hard coding my resolv.conf should work as well and it didn't. I can go on without wifi for a bit while I assume this issue is being addressed, but in the long term if it is not solved it would force me to give Fedora a bit more of a look. I like what I see from Suse thus far and I am a bit surprised that wifi seems to be an issue when it is my understanding that it worked in past versions (I have Suse9). -- ______ Vince Scimeca - Senior Technology Manager Jupitermedia Corp. vscimeca@jupitermedia.com ______ -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

You may have answered this, but ,<shrug> Have you set up the wireless app, and included the ip number of your router? As well as any info about wep etc. ? My wireless cf card needs to know where it's *gateway* address is.

I ran through as many different combinations as I can think of. I never bothered setting a default gateway since I'm trying to figure out why it's not getting one from my router. I checked the things others have mentioned here as well such as the firewall, which is installed but not configured or even on.

I really think that it might just be a change in how the dhcp client gets it's information or it's something in the kernel configuration. I pulled it off for the moment to put Mandrake 9.2 on. Wireless works great, but I'm having issues with the keyboard and I really do prefer Suse 9, so I'm going to dump the /etc directory, then reload either 8.2 or 9 and just start working my way up till I figure what the problem is. (but I'll take any and all help, suggestions, etc :)

<snip> When experiencing similar problems, the following format of dhcpcd command was used as it provides more information : dhcpcd -n -d -B wlan0. Replace wlan0 with the network interface requiring an IP address from a DHCP server. Under YaST2, launch the yast2->system->sysconfig module and search for "resolv" and "dhcp". Review the flags for the various settings. It possible that the variable "dynamically update resolv" is switched off. This should be switched on. Similarly, check any other flags relating to dhclient and resolv are flagged to update routes and gateways. If these are turned off, the routing will not be set as expected. Turn these on. Before using the internet, on the pc here the firewall and DNS has to be restarted. HTH. LW999
