Hi Carlos, Thanks for all your suggestions. Being a newbie it may take me days to try your tips out. CU. JPA On Monday 27 July 2009 02:50:45 am Carlos E. R. wrote:

As a newbie I have managed for years to get going easily enough with regular openSuse updates and always set up my system, comm line, printer etc. single handed.
The thing is, if there is a bug that impedes your machine from shutting down, it will never be solved for 10.3. Your reports will be ignored... that's life.
If there is a configuration trick that solves our problem, and somebody knows, then you will be fine. But bugs... most likely, no. Not for an old version.
Then, that bug/problem might have been solved already on a later version. There is also 11.0, if you don't like 11.1. Or you may try "factory", and if it doesn't work, report your problems so that the comming 11.2 version is corrected in time.
Now why do I buck ? You see with the 11.1 mess I decided to now understand what's Linux all about. I bought myself a combo course with cbt nuggets. It shipped:
- Linux can't read the DVD's
What error?
- Cbt nuggets sent me the file in bits which I stored on my Desktop
- Cbt nuggets told me to load VLC soft to read this video file.
You can use mplayer or xine to watch videos - but use the version from packman.
- With Yast I downloaded the VLC soft.
- I can visualize the course but don't get any sound. No matter how much I toggle the settings.
I assume sound works on another program?
