[opensuse-kde3] sound and shutdown on 12.1
ok, one more 12.1 question. kde3 was installed on top of kde4. everything seems to work, except sound and there is no suspend option on the logout menu, that is no suspend to ram and no suspend to disk. everything works w. kde4, so the hardware is fine, what packages do i need to look closer at? is the suspend problem due to the lack of the correct kdebase3? shutdown is installed. thanks, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

Try to instal kde3-kpowersave from KDE:KDE3 repository. Also enable hald service via Yast. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

I cannot tell about sound. Check whether you have the sound level at maximum, try to run command "killall pulseaudio", check sound properties in the control center... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

powersave did the trick:) the installation also pulled in hal && other shtuff, nice work on the deps:) also, "killall pulseaudio" restores the sound in kde3. going back to kde4 restarts pulse so kde4 stays "unaffected". vlc runs fine in kde3 as does flash, don't know if other kde4 apps running in kde3 will also behave well. one must admit tho, the kde3 AND kde4 integration we see in 12.1 is a very sweet thing. i guess i will be switching to 12.1 as my main os within a week. and thanks again Ilya for some fantastic kde3 support:) d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

Please by all means report a bug against pulseaudio. Meanwhile you can disable pulseaudio completely in Yast although I did not try it (this should make KDE4 not use pulseaudio as well). On my system currently pulseaudio works normal under KDE3 although there were problems before.

Installed 32 bit 12.1/KDE3 onto desktop PC wonderfully, using HAL-enabled extra repo. Only problem is with shutdown, where it seems to go 99% there, but PC stays on at end of shutdown when using kmenu or logout right-click option. It will reboot properly, though, using this method. Does it with/without kpowersave installed and running. "Shutdown -h now" in Terminal works fine. Anyone else hit this problem? Kpowersave wasn't necessary for me to install in 11.4_32bit/KDE3, to shutdown successfully. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

I also have freezes on shutdown sometimes but not always. Did you try to use sysvinit instead of systemd (F5 in Grub)? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

This is systemd problem: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.1/repo/oss/docu/RELEASE-NOTES.e... Correct [Shutdown] section in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. Probably we need a patch for oS >= 12.1. -- WBR Kyrill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, that did it (at least for 3 consecutive shutdown tests). Tried first with F5 and, after that worked, installed "sysvinit-init" to make permanent (which uninstalls systemd-sysvinit, which causes the problem). Thanks also to Kyrill ... yes, I did read the release notes before installing 12.1, but it wasn't immediately intuitive to me that there was a connection between 12.1 not shutting down completely, and systemd. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

fyi, when kpowersave is installed, everything in shutdown works, including suspend to ram and suspend to disk. an occasional problem is reconnecting to the last wireless router on restart, once in a while the connection needs to be manually reset even though wicd thinks the connection is there. no, never had any luck with *any* knetworkmanager, never in kde3, never in kde4, so i am very thankful that wicd exists... now, can someone please add a couple of explanation phrases about this magic sysvinit? thanks, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
