  Hi Zach,

  The sound stuff in Linux can be funky sometimes. I've noticed that once in a 
while out of nowhere, I'll get the same popup, telling me no soundcard has 
been configured yet, but the sound will still work. What I do then, is just 
open a console, stretch it out a bit (640x480 is fine), and as root, do 
alsaconf . Once I'm done, it *usually* fixes things, sometimes it doesn't, 
and then I just delete the soundcard in YaST2, and 'make a new one'. It 
doesn't take hardly any time at all, and one or the other gets things back 
straight again...for me at least.

  John

I needed fresh bugs for my SuSE gecko,
and Linux penguin. So I went out and
caught this huge ugly blue and red 
and green and yellow butterfly. 
They won't need fresh food for 3 months now.
