Stupid bug, but with great potential: kmix
I'd like to point out a lame bug that has good chances of being overseen and making it alive in the final release. This would cause a great deal of traffic on suse-linux-e, with the same question asked all over again by frustrated users. kmix is not working in first login after installation. It has a red "disabled" sign. Users will think their soundcard was not detected and attempt reinstallation and all sorts of fixing. Second login, or after restart, kmix is working but is muted (!). Unmutting it still won't be enough to produce sound because the sliders for headphones and PCM are at 0. I can only imagine the kilometers of thread about not being able to play shit, no sound, no mp3, SUSE sucks etc. So, please, please, nice and pretty please fix this :-) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=144525 Ugh, could anyone confirm the bug? Or is it only for my particular hardware (i915)? It has been manifesting since beta1, I think.

Yes, I have it on my Compaq nx8220 laptop and on my Pegasos PPC as well. But it was already mentioned somewhere (I can't find it, but I did not report it, as I remember so...). Bye, -- CzP http://peter.czanik.hu/

This is a known problem and fixed I think. Ciao, Marcus

Ok I'll wait for beta4 and cry louder then if I still see it :-)
It has been fixed in beta4. Excellent.
