11.2, KDE3.5, K3B 2.pm - can't reuse DVD-RW
by Felix Miata 27 Aug '10

27 Aug '10

K3B.pm for 3.5 worked fine before I replaced 11.0 with 11.2. The only way I can get K3B 2.0.0 1.pm.2.11 in 11.2 to burn an ISO file to a -RW disk is to use a new one. Always reusing gives errors, even if forcing a format first. Last try: Writing DVD-RW in restricted overwrite mode Using Wodim 1.1.9 ... Starting Restricted Overwrite writing at 4x speed Unable to open new session Probably a problem with the medium I see no apparent help in /var/log. Suggestions from Googling a fix for this are all over the map. Should I just dump K3B4 for K3B3? Is there a simpler solution, maybe some setting other than the defaults, maybe sequential instead of restricted overwrite? BTW, using another machine booted to 11.2/K3B 2 fails exactly the same, while booted to 11.2/K3B-1.0.5-0.pm.7 works as expected with exactly the same source and destination media. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

rtmp protocol on 11.2
by Felix Miata 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

I asked the following on a web forum yesterday: "According to http://www.downloadhelper.net/other-tool-check.php I need Replay Media Catcher in order to fetch TV episodes from http://www.fox.com. That's proprietary software only available for windoz. I don't use proprietary stuff like that, only whatever's free for Linux..." The reply: "Well, the rtmp protocol itself is proprietary, so... But anyway. You can use the open source rtmpdump to record those rtmp streams. Because of rtmp's proprietary nature, however, the project has faced challenges from Adobe." zypper se rtmpdump produced nothing, as did http://software.opensuse.org/search Anyone know how to fetch TV episodes from fox.com? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

zypper on 11.2 - error retrieving metadata
by Felix Miata 24 Aug '10

File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/11.2/' Warning: Disabling repository 'Packman Repository' because of the above error. Failed to download /repodata/repomd.xml from http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/11.2/ Warning: Disabling repository 'VideoLan Repository' because of the above error. It seems every month or two a zypper ref causes this to happen again. After waiting a few minutes and doing another zypper ref it works. What's going on here, a zypper bug? Curl?

by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 17 Aug '10

Hello Mates, i've got a new PC (ASRock N68-S Board) with a VIA VT1708S Chip. My Headset is plugged in into the pc's backside. And i also tried the FrontMic. Sadly i can just hear, but the mic isn't useable. I've launched alsa-info.sh and i've placed it there: http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=ee9a92b31b4cecfff9c044e8026342fe6e35630e Has anyone experience with this Chip and has maybe a solution? That would be great... -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns open-slx GmbH openSUSE Community & Support Agent openSUSE Marketing Team Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com Web: http://www.open-slx.de (openSUSE Box Support German) Web: http://www.open-slx.com (openSUSE Box Support English)
