Hi everyone! I am currently using Helix Gnome under Suse 6.3 and really like it. I have a couple of questions though, that I hope some one can answer: 1. Gnome Terminal: When running YAST1 within Gnome Terminal, the function keys (F3, F4, etc.) don't work properly. I looked at the preferences but I didn't see any setting that can be changed to fix this. 2. Sound: I am using the commercial OSS driver. Under KDE everything works just fine. Under Gnome, only some of the applications produce sound. For example, Real Player plays just fine, but XMMS is silent.

For xmms check to see if the output plugin is set properly. On a fresh install I have had this set to the wave output plugin, which will not produce sound.

Try using Alt+n instead of Fn (for instance F1 becomes Alt+1, F2 becomes Alt+2, F10 becomes Alt+0).

Are you using the correct XMMS output plugin for OSS? -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"

Alt+n doesn't work nor just typing the digit (since when there is an entry field which can display a list of values -- groups for example, the digit 3 is interpreted as an entry into the field). Unless there is a way around, it looks like I will have to use another terminal program when running YAST. As for the XMMS problem, you were all right in suggesting that I will check the output plugin. For some reason it was set to Disk Writer... Avi Jon Pennington wrote:

You'll want to look in your home directory. Disk Writer has probably written some very large files there.

You can just use the 0 (zero) key for F10, 1 for F1, etc.
2. Sound: I am using the commercial OSS driver. Under KDE everything works just fine. Under Gnome, only some of the applications produce sound. For example, Real Player plays just fine, but XMMS is silent.
Gnome uses the ESD sound server, in XMMS preferences, select the ESD output plugin. -- Rafael -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Yep, I had that problem too - the display doesn't update properly either. I'm not too sure what the fix is as far as sorting out the terminal goes, but you can start Yast in its own window with 'susewmif yast'. I have this behind a button on my panel, and it works just like KDE.

I had this too - or at least I had a problem with sound playing through ESD. Assuming you have XMMS set up right (as others have suggested), your problem may be due to a bug in ESD. Either wait for the fixed version to come out, or, if you know what you're doing, apply this patch and recompile ESD: ---<cut here>--- --- audio_oss.c-ORG Wed Mar 15 19:00:49 2000 +++ audio_oss.c Sat Jun 3 21:18:49 2000 @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ mode = fcntl(afd, F_GETFL); mode &= ~O_NONBLOCK; - fcntl(afd, F_SETFL); + fcntl(afd, F_SETFL, mode); /* TODO: check that this is allowable */ /* set for full duplex operation, if recording */ ---<stop cutting here>--- This ensures ESD blocks when the kernel can't take all the sound stream. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
