[SLE] RealPlayer G2 on SuSe 6.2
by yh＠ottawa.com 03 Apr '24

03 Apr '24

Yesterday, I finally got sound going on my Linux setup. I downloaded RealPlayer G2 and it worked beautifully. Today, RealPlayer run but no sound coming out. All other sound functions still work. I can still play my CD, have system sound BUT no sound when I run RealPlayer. /var/log/message said kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? but KDE sound still work. I have re-installed RealPlayer 3 times now, still no sound when I run the RealPlayer. Any help is appreciated.

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

Hi: I just bought this printer, thinking it would work right out of the box. I'm running SUSE 9.3 with CUPS, and it does not seem to support this model. Anybody got this printer to work? Any pointers would help. Best regards. -- Alfredo Cole-Tuckler

[opensuse] kernel messages - disk errors?
by Dave Howorth 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

We had a generator test at work over the weekend that exceeded the UPS time limits so machines shut down. They've all come back but I'm seeing a lot of messages in /var/log/messages of one of them (every few minutes). I strongly suspect they're telling me to buy a new disk but I need to find and read the friendly manual to be sure. Can anybody confirm my suspicion and/or point me at the correct manual? Thanks, Dave Here's a sample of one burst of messages: Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: cmd c8/00:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: res 51/40:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 Emask 0x9 (media error) Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: ata3: EH complete Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: cmd c8/00:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: res 51/40:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 Emask 0x9 (media error) Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: ata3: EH complete Sep 28 13:50:15 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Sep 28 13:50:15 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 Sep 28 13:50:15 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: cmd c8/00:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Sep 28 13:50:15 suse1 kernel: res 51/40:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 Emask 0x9 (media error) Sep 28 13:50:20 suse1 avahi-daemon[3595]: Invalid query packet.

[opensuse] protocol not supported bluetooth
by Martin Mielke 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hi all, Version 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0) "release 155" running fine. When I execute kbluetooth I get the following error message after clicking on the systray icon: "protocol not supported bluetooth" ...when I click on "OK", Konqueror launches but nothing happens. However, I can discover devices with "hcitool scan" or even using "kbluemon"... and that's it. I've been reading some threads and it seemed to be a bug on previous KDE versions... which is odd because it was working like a charm under SuSE 10.3 Am I missing something here? -- # /etc/init.d/bluetooth status Checking service bluetooth (enabled) : hcid (activated) running hid2hci (activated) opd unused rfcomm (activated) pand unused dund unused # rpm -qa | grep blue bluez-utils-3.32-8.7 bluez-firmware-1.2-99.1 bluez-audio-3.32-8.7 kdebluetooth-1.0_beta8-109.1 bluez-libs-3.32-3.2 -- TIA, Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What is wrong with my NX server?
by Joop Beris 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hello listmates, I have recently installed NX server, after switching to openSUSE 11.1. However, I can't seem to log in. It used to work beautifully on openSUSE 10.3. What I did is the following: - First of all, to install the NX server, I added the following repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/RemoteDesktop/openSUSE_11.1/ >From that This resulted in the following packages being installed: - FreeNX - NX - freenx-client - libnxcl1 - After that, I ran nxsetup, which completed without errors. On the client, I installed version 3.3.0-6 of the NX Client for Linux from NoMachine. I chose this client because in the past, I have had bad experiences with the FreenNX client. The NoMachine client has always worked well for me. - Trying with the QtNX client, the client simply seems to freeze, without doing anything after starting the connection. - Up launching the NX client and entering the connection details, I start the connection. This takes a while, after which the client responds with: "Session startup failed". In the detail window, it says a lot more: NX> 105 /usr/bin/nxserver: line 1371: 13828 Terminated sleep $AGENT_STARTUP_TIMEOUT NX> 596 Session startup failed. NX> 1004 Error: NX Agent exited with exit status 1. To troubleshoot set SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0 in node.conf and investigate "/home/<user>/.nx/F-C-<hostname>-1000-8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C/session". You might also want to try: ssh -X myserver; /usr/bin/nxnode --agent to test the basic functionality. Session log follows: Can't open /var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionId{8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C}: No such file or directory. mv: cannot stat `/var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionId{8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C}'NX> 1006 Session status: closed : No such file or directory NX> 280 Exiting on signal: 15 FOllowing the troubleshooting advice above, I have set SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0 in /etc/nxserver/node.conf I also tried the command "ssh -X myserver; /usr/bin/nxnode --agent" to test the basic connection from the client. This gives me the following error on the console: NX> 1000 NXNODE - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0) NX> 716 Starting NX Agent ... Error: Aborting session with 'Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again'. Session: Aborting session at 'Thu Jun 4 11:07:26 2009'. Session: Session aborted at 'Thu Jun 4 11:07:26 2009'. NX> 716 NX Agent exited with status: 1 NX> 1001 Bye. I find this odd, since to me this seems to be a problem with X authorization, not something to do with NX. I have confirmed that while X (KDE) is running, no one is logged into the machine at this point. I have also investigated /home/<user>/.nx/F-C-<hostname>-1000-8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C/session, to see if there is some more information there. There, it lists the following: NXAGENT - Version 3.2.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2007 NoMachine. See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information. Info: Agent running with pid '15613'. Session: Starting session at 'Thu Jun 4 11:14:43 2009'. Info: Proxy running in server mode with pid '15613'. Info: Waiting for connection from '127.0.0.1' on port '5000'. Info: Aborting the procedure due to signal '15'. Error: Aborting session with 'Unable to open display 'nx/nx,options=/home/<user>/.nx/C-<hostname>-1000-8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C/options:1000''. Session: Aborting session at 'Thu Jun 4 11:14:43 2009'. Session: Session aborted at 'Thu Jun 4 11:14:43 2009'. I enabled logging in /etc/nxserver/node.conf, and the same information is logged there. I am a bit stumped as to what to try now. Does anyone have any suggestions, please? I'll be grateful for any help or tips which help me solve this.
