SuSE 9.2 came and...my opinion: the worse version.Sound doesn't work under KDE. Suseplugger show me Creative SB Live! EMU10k1, everything is OK but there are not sound. I i run KAMix i got a msg that there are not soundcard available. ATI Radeon 9000 works ugly. Second day and i still try to configure KDE. Problem is also with firewall (all 3 phase): Starting Firewall Initialization (phase 3 of 3) WARNING: Error inserting ipfwadm (/lib/modules/2.6.8-24-smp/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko): Device or resource busy SuSEfirewall2: Firewall rules successfully set from /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 Thank you.

For my part, I've managed to get 9.2 installed and working beautifully. The only thing that I can't get to work is the 3d acceleration for my nvidia GeForce MX/MX 400. I've tried to follow the instructions from the guy that gave me directions earlier (sorry, I've since lost that email since I had to re-install) and the instructions on nvidia's website, but either I'm doing something wrong (most likely), or my machine just doesn't like it. Each time I tried to manually install the nvidia driver I somehow completely screw up Xserver and my computer ceases to function properly. So, after three or four failed attempts, I've given up. If my only problem is not being able to play bzflag and a few of the other games, I think I'll be fine. However, if someone sees that SuSE issues a nvidia package that actually works like it should, I'd very much appreciate the heads up. Jack

Install kernel-source and gcc, then: run fetchnvidia from YOU. or init 3 and run the package from nvidia

Did you reboot since the installation? There was a kernel update in YOU, and at least your soundcard problem sounds suspiciously like a thing I'd expect to see if you update the kernel and then don't reboot

I didn't update the kernel and after installation i did reboot.

I didn't update the kernel
then do. The kernel on the discs was broken in more ways than one. And reboot afterwards

I did update but problem is still here. If i run KDE as root sound works but as user no.

I had a similar problem.
I went into YaST, removed the sound card, and then let it re-add it
(simple automatic way or whatever) and now it works peachy.

I did same several times. When press ''test sound'' is OK but i am still without sound as user.

SuSE 9.2 Updated
I have the same problem. Yast2 and "Test" works fine but as a user or
root I get the same error message. So, kmix, gamix or smix gives me a
message about /dev/mixer and file.c:80 (or something like that).
Checking "ls -l /dev/mi*" find all kinds of mixer[0-#].
This happens in KDE and fvwm2 (without kde being run after reboot).

Regarding getting the nvidia driver to work with 9.2 - has it changed much
from 9.1? As far as I can tell you should still run:
nvidia-installer -f
to download and compile (you need the kernel source installed) the driver,
then run:
sax2 -m 0=nvidia
(Note that you should perform all these steps from the console, i.e. if you
are
in KDE/Gnome, then as root type:
init 3
you will then need to login in as root again.
Once all the above steps are complete, reboot!
There are SuSE specific instructions on www.nvidia.com -> Linux/FreeBSD
driver -> SuSE howto
Good luck!
Jon.

It seems mine is working again. Yast2 "Test" worked but the sound "gamix" failed to come up. First I ran "SuSEconfig" manually and it must have changed a permission (/etc/permission.easy). Also I did recently check the "group" setting to /dev/mixer and I didn't find it in /etc/group. So, I added it. You might also check all of the groups that pretain to your system I am not sure which thing fixed it but it is working again. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __" http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 Dump Microsoft Software - Stop virus email Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316

That's not a "problem", that's known as a splash screen. If you don't like it you can do echo "0" > /proc/splash and edit /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash and set SPLASH to no to make it go away on future boots

I was trying to setup Skype ( VOIP telephony ) and couldn't get the sound to work. What I didn't realize was tht my sound hasn't worked since I upgraded to 9.2 . I had to go in to the sound ( control panel) and save the settings again, which made it stop & start the sound system. THEN it worked. I never had to do that under 9.1 . -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800
