Sound issues and setup
by Terje J. Hanssen 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Sound has always been more or less troublesome, at least for me on my machines. To start with No login sound on 11.2: None of my two machines get any login sound, just a quiet login. There are at least some sound booting openSUSE 11.1 or SLED 11 on these machines. 1) HP8710w (x86_64) mobile workstation 'yast2 sound' shows: sound card: 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller driver: snd-hda-intel Play Test sound: NO Pulse Audio Enabled 2) K7 i386 PC sound card: SB0312 Audigy LS driver: snd-ca0106 Play Test sound: YES Pulse Audio Enabled Sound Preferences on the Gnome Panel Speaker applet are set to: output volume: 75% else default Can someone tell me how to setup Login Sound (and more) correctly?

by Birger Kollstrand 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Hi, I just tried a complete install to test from the 11.2 final releases and the Nvidia and ATI driver repositories are not in the Community lists? they have "always" been there for the previous releases. Is there a policy change or? Birger -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

Encrypted root
by Vojtěch Zeisek 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Hello, I have Lenovo R61 (160 GB disc). I did fresh install of openSUSE 11.2 with ext4 and I wished to have encrypted root (LVM based solution as described in manual). So I choose automatic way without separate /home. It proposed about 76 MB /boot and LVM covering rest of the disc (almost 160 GB) containing 2 GB swap and "/" of size about 15 GB! It looked like this is maximum size and there was no way to resize it to correct size. There was no trace of resting 145 GB. So I deleted proposed partitions, made it by hand and it works fine (correct sizes). It is strange. Did You see similar behaviour? Small cosmetic problem is that I can see bootsplash only before I type passphrase for root partition. After it I see text output. I do not care at all, but it is a tiny bug. :) After hard installation encrypted partition works fine.

Free Box to Testers a Dead Tradition?
by Felix Miata 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Since I saw no notice that those who wish would receive as after prior releases, I tried replying as before, as if I had missed the notice. That email bounced. Then I tried similar addresses, and they bounced too. Those that bounced: rplewe(a)suse.de (that used for 11.1) rplewe(a)opensuse.org rplewe(a)novell.com I guess whoever managed the previous giveaways was one of the budget cut casualties? -- The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 1 Corinthians 7:3 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

automated installation testing
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hello Testers, as has been discussed on last meeting, we want more automated testing. Thus I have spent some hours to create scripts that run a openSUSE-11.2-DVD install by generating qemu-kvm sendkey lines with the proper timing for my Phenom X4 9550. Should work on all faster machines as well. http://www3.zq1.de/bernhard/git/autoinst/ usage is ./start.sh or INSTLANG=de ./start.sh or INSTRAID10=1 ./start.sh you can write "exit 0;" in the top part of autoinst-partitions.pl to have the installation use the default proposed partitioning. Otherwise, it will create a RAID6 or (if INSTRAID10 is set) a RAID10. you can see user:pass with grep autotype autoinst-yast.pl Feel free to improve on this work. Reason for this work was missing past coverage of https://bugzilla.novell.com/tr_show_case.cgi?case_id=886392 issues discovered: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556868 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556953 Ciao Bernhard M.

Octave
by Vojtěch Zeisek 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello, I have installed Octave from Pakcman repository, bud it does not work with QtOctave, because QtOctave in Packman requires Octave 3.2 and higher. So I installed Octave from Contrib. I have 64bit system and I was not able to launch Octave from Packman neither Contrib. Command "octave" caused error octave: error while loading shared libraries: liboctinterp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Libraries of Octace are in both packages located in /usr/lib64/ and octave binary is not able to find it. I had to execute as root echo "/usr/lib64/octave-3.2.2" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/octave.conf && ldconfig Then it works. I do not know which mailinglist is the best for this issue, so I pleas maintainers of those repos and packages to fix this... Thank You...

installation appears to choose wrong resolution?
by Per Jessen 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

I'm doing an installation with ssh+nfs - on the boot menu, the resolution defaults to 1280x1024, which looks fine, but once the installation gets going, my monitor reports "out-of-range", and shows no picture. To get it to work I have to manually reduce resolution to 1024x768. I haven't reported this yet - it's not really important to me, but if anyone thinks this is important, I'll be happy to open a bugreport. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org
