Now, launching anything is very slow. Kmail is very slow in just about all aspects. Clicking a web link in Thunderbird should display that page in Chrome but that takes about forever even when Chrome has already been launched. The whole desktop is nearly unworkable. CPU load is minimal Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on the Kmail icon on the dashboard 2. Run Gwenview either from the launcher for from a shell 3. Launch akregator form the dashboard Actual Results: The application is slow to launch. When kmail is very slow toaccess email, akregator is equally slow. Expected Results: Wait, wait , wait If kmail does not find a certificate for the server of some email information, it will continue sending out messages asking what to do for a long time (20 minutes or so, depending) The messages from the gwenview launch suggest that it is a KDE problem. The odd names for the disk drives are a problem that originated with some version of opensuse from long in the past. I have been using suse/opensuse since version 8.x the fonts bit is something I see a lot of but does not cause any problems Under KDE 4.10.2, I had no such problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 803536] New: phonon/KDE thinks devices have been removed, ALSA still has them

Frequently, but not always, when booting into 12.3, KDE thinks the sound devices have gone missing. KMixer goes to "Dummy output", and when opening the Sound panel in KDE configuration, it says "These devices have gone missing, shall I forget about them permanently?" (and I obviously say 'no'). Curiously, alsamixer still has all devices. 'rcalsasound restart' does not help. The sound cards show in YaST as: 0: ATI Technologies Inc; driver snd-hda-intel 1: SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA); driver snd-hda-intel Hardware is Asus M4A89GTD mainboard with onboard Realtek ALC892 audio, 192KHz/24bit, and Radeon HD4290 onboard video with HDMI out. Device 0: is the ALC892 DAC; Device 1: is the HDMI output (not in use). It may be worth pointing out that the Radeon is running on the 'fbdev' fallback driver at the moment (X11 doesn't like the 'radeon' driver) which may explain the HDMI part acting funny, but I don't think this should affect the ALC892...? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Checking /var/log/messages always contains 5 messages before the system freezes: xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD Kernel changelog 3.4.5 mentions this message. I checked the kernel 3.4.6 source on my system and xhci-ring.c contains the fix, so there probably is another cause for this problem. See: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ChangeLog-3.4.5 A suggestion could be 'use a usb 2.0 port' but I get other problems when using a usb 2.0 port: [ 50.956136] ALSA endpoint.c:838 cannot submit datapipe for urb 0, error -28: not enough bandwidth [ 53.149070] ALSA endpoint.c:838 cannot submit datapipe for urb 0, error -28: not enough bandwidth I'm unable to record through that usb device then. So it's either usb 3.0 recording with random freezes or usb 2.0 not recording at all... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect a usb 2.0 audio device to a usb 3.0 port 2. Start recording and playbacking with as many times as possible (I tried several audio applications, all of them cause the system to crash at a certain moment. They work for a while, and then freeze) Actual Results: 3. At a certain moment, the screen goes black and the system freezes 4.

When building the kernel the preinstall step is skipped. A workaround I'm using at the moment is to build another package (screen-4.0.4-2.2.1.src.rpm) that does correctly the preinstall step.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802786 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802786#c0 Summary: installation process is hanging on /sbin/blkid -c /dev/null if no floppy drive is installed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: RC 1 Platform: All OS/Version: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb(a)elstel.org QAContact: jsrain(a)suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; Warp 4.5; rv:10.0.10) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.10 On a certain computer of mine (Frontman) the installation process always hangs for a long time on 'seeking for Linux partitions'. A pstree has revealed that /sbin/blkid -c /dev/null is executed at this time. The thing is that /sbin/blkid /dev/fd0 hangs while /sbin/blkid /dev/sda executes instantaneously. The same is for partprobe. This is due to a floppy controller being installed on the given computer but no actual floppy drive being present. Please change the blkid command execution to only affect /dev/sd* or at least not fd0 so that the installation process can process hang-free.
