Hi Patrick
Then do so in the wiki.
Hi Daniel :) I will as soon as everything is running, which I need, then I'll write down what I had to make it run.
AND video is not working meaning: I can't play DVD's, the message is: no plugin for the MRL found.
Video actually means "SaX detects the video card and configures the X server out-of-the-box". Playing DVDs legally under Linux is only possible with LinDVD or PowerDVD for Linux which actually is not available to end users. But this (and "I can not play MP3 files") has been discussed many times since I am on this list :). Just search the archive for "mp3" or "PowerDVD".
Hm xine played dvd's in the past under gentoo, well I can play mp3's. But okay, I will take a look at PowerDVD and archived threads, true I missed that, I didn't think, there was a big issue with playing DVD's legally...
Power Management is partially working: The light get's darker when I pull the plug BUT the cpu clockspeed is always on 598MHz, which can only be a bad joke. It should be there ONLY if the cable is unplugged. (I have 1600MHz at maximum, but not with the power management under openSuSE)
This is the default setting which powers up the CPU to the maximum just when it's needed. Start OpenOffice.org while watching /proc/cpuinfo. You will see that the frequency rises as soon as the power is needed. If you want to run at full speed, change the active power management scheme (right click to the plug icon beside the clock in KDE -> "Set active scheme" -> Performance).
Indeed, that's handy.
Printing does not work on my HP Color Laser Jet 1500, which should be connected over lpr on another machine(attached on usb port). I also had to use a special ppd file and the foomatic driver in gentoo for that, but in openSuSE there seems to be the same issue: It's not working out of the box, you need something else (eg. from linuxprinting.org). Not working means: I send a printing command to the printer and it's lamp blinks for a moment and then does nothing and the printing command is deleted.
There is a printer driver called "Color LaserJet Series PCL 6" and "Color LaserJet" in YaST. The latter one is a PostScript driver. If your printer supports PostScript, I would prefer that one (I actually could not find a HP color LaserJet 1500 on the hp website).
I can't find it there, either, but it exists: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-Color_LaserJet_1500
Next point is that I can't get entrance or enlightenment to work. under gentoo I could easily change under /etc/rc.conf which displaymanger was used. Now openSuSE seems to have another way but does not tell me which one. I went over to runlevel services under yast, activated entrance but nothing moved.
That's SUSE style. They configure everything in /etc/sysconfig. In YaST you will find an editor: "System" -> "Editor for /etc/sysconfig files".
Thank you is it normal, that when I go under Desktop/DisplayManager/DISPLAYMANAGER that there is no "entrance" in the dropdown? Just kdm, gdm, xdm, wdm, console.
There is another artwork thread here. If you do not like the SUSE theme, use another or uninstall "kdebase3-suse".
Probably no need for that for I will anyway switch to enlightenment, IF i manage to :)
Hotplug works good, but i'd rather see the usbstick in media:/ folder instead of in /media/usbstick but that's a detail. You see it in both places. The stick is mounted to /media/usbstick by the hotplug daemon. And KDE shows all media under "media:/".
No, that's not true, the usbstick does not show up under media:/ ! Of course I thought as well, it would, but it seems as if it automounts it under /media because if you see it under media:/ it's not mounted yet (but as said, I don't see it there).
The SuSE watcher seems to be for windows XP migrants :) but oh well, nice to have...
Well I think it is quite useful not to check for updates manually. And remember that the SuSE watcher was here before Windows XP offered its service.
How could I forget that, me!? A SuSE veteran? :)
apache2 works, all these processes just have to be activated first.
Yes, of course. But before activating it, configuring should be done. You can do that in YaST, too (network services -> http).
Of course, but the wizard there breaks after page 2 of 5 when I want to configure apache2. Without giving an error, the window just closes. had that now more than once, that the Yast Window just closed *shrug. Anywayhanks for your links and answers! best regards patrick
Yours, Dani
