SuSE 9.2 Pro and Touchpad Issues
by cms 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

Hello all, Just received my copy of SuSE 9.2 Pro and completed a clean install on my Toshiba Satellite 2435 laptop. For whatever reason, the laptop's touchpad was not detected/installed correctly. Using the laptop has become extremely difficult. The mouse opens *almost* every window and app that it trails over and hardware clicking/tapping doesn't work. I don't recall what driver I've used in the past with SuSE and this laptop--truth is, I never looked. Currently I'm using the generic PS/2 Mouse (Aux-Port) driver as indicated in the Hardware section of YaST's Control Center and the touchpad is somewhat functional, albeit with irritating side effects. With previous versions of SuSE the touchpad was detected/configured correctly and without my intervention. Anyone using SuSE 9.2 with a similar machine? Searches on SuSE's Support Portal turned up zero articles related to ALPS Touchpad devices. This is a snippet of dmesg, related to the mouse/touchpad: ------- SNIP ------- mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64 alps.c: E7 report: 73 02 0a alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64 alps.c: E7 report: 73 02 0a alps.c: Status: 15 01 0a ALPS Touchpad (Glidepoint) detected Disabling hardware tapping alps.c: Status: 11 01 0a input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS TouchPad on isa0060/serio4 input: PC Speaker md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 ------- SNIP ------- Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA Chris Shanahan

SuSE 9.1 crashes after KDE logout
by Ohadi, Hamid 26 Feb '05

26 Feb '05

Hello all, I've this weird problem with my SUSE 9.1 pro. Every now and then when I log out KDE it freezes. The computer is so dead that I can't even do anything and I have to restart it. I'm not sure where I must start to debug it. I couldn't find uot anything wrong in /var/log/messages just before the freezing.I have a samba server 3.0.9-2.6 on it but apart from that I'm not doing any kind of networking. I have installed all the pathces via YaST but see no Difference. I would be grateful if somebody could shed light on it. regards Hamid -- QOTD: "I only touch base with reality on an as-needed basis!"

Amarok dependencies
by sargon 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

I tried to upgrade via apt to the new amarok package in Pascal Bleser's repository, but apt refuses to install it. I then tried to compile the source RPM, but I get a dependency error---glx is needed. "apt search glx" lists packages containing/providing glx, and I have all the relevant xorg packages installed. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Show specific device icons
by Darko Mocelj 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Hello list, I'd like to display only specific device icons on the desktop. The usual way to activate the device icons is right click -> Configure Desktop -> Behaviour -> Show Device Icons. That work's fine. Now I would like to enable only specific devices to be shown on the desktop, eg. if one enables show mounted partitions is there a way to choose the partition which should be displayed? And if so, can one also change the name which is displayed on the desktop? Thanks for any hints. Darko

kicker vanishes on startup
by Chris Papadopoulos 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hi all, Yesterday, without doing anything special, the KDE panel stopped working. It is nowhere to be found, although 'ps aux' shows that kicker is running. Killing the process and restarting it gives the following warning (not an actual crash, but effectively one :) ) kicker: WARNING: cannot open extension: because of Library files for ".la" not found in paths. I don't remember changing anything in the paths. Using SuSE 9.2, KDE 3.3.92 from cvs. I have tried recompiling kdebase etc, but the problem seems to be persisting, and is not a problem of the specific user, since root sees the exact same thing. Does anyone else see this and know what to do? Otherwise, everything seems to be working fine with KDE. Thank you, Chris

Juk, Amarok... Help, Thanks!
by Michael Colligan 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

OK, first some background... Suse pro 9.2, apt-get kept up to date with the following config: rpm ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.2-i386 base update security rpmkeys suser-rbos mozilla kde packman packman-i686 First, thanks to everyone involved. SuSE 9.2 was my first SuSE version from a Slackware background. Very nice and I appreciate the ability to run updated software via the supplementary stuff. Great! Currently with Juk (2.1.2 on KDE 3.3.2 Level "a") I cannot play, import MP3's. Juk doesn't even see them in its filebrowser. I can play them fine with Amarok. Am I alone here? On Amarok, how can I save a playlist properly? When I do the links to the files always append together ala: This file does not exist: /home/mcolligan/.kde/share/apps/amarok/playlists//media/usb-100:0:0:0p1/MyMusic/Vic_Chesnutt_Left_To_His_Own_Devices_2_Very_Friendly_Lighthouses.mp3 Thanks, Mike

amaroK 1.2 crashing in 9.2
by Craig L. Patterson 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

I updated my KDE to the latest on SUSE's ftp site. Including amaroK 1.2. Everything generally is running fine, except amaroK. It will start up OK, I can set a playlist and start it playing. It will play for a while (2-3 minutes) and then quit. The playlist window freezes, and is totally unresponsive. Rebooting does not help. Anybody seeing similiar behavior? Any advice? Thanks

I would like to use kjobviewer to manage print jobs and spools, but it doens't show jobs, current or past (they are shown in the web interface), just shows the empty screen and greyed buttons. Played already but all the menus and can't find something to make it work. Distro: Suse Pro 8.2 KDE: 3.1.1 PS: Realy never used the GUI, now i'm interested because of the advanced spool management Thanks in advance CI.-

Krusader in the standard SuSE distribution (fwd)
by Karai Csaba 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

Hi! I'm a developper of the Krusader team (the twin panel file manager, Total Commander clone) on linux. Personally I also use SuSE linux, and noticed, that our program is not in the standard distribution. Krusader 1.11 was the last version included at SuSE 8.0, and after that it was removed. Total Commander is very popular in windows, and I think, it would be reasonable to include the linux clone as well. We have great many users, and the project is developping rapidly. My question is, that what was the main reason of removing Krusader? What should we do to get into the standard SuSE distribution? What requirements should we meet for this? Thank you, in advance, Bye, Csaba Karai
