[SLE] AD1881 3D Enhanced Codec
by novo＠uiuc.edu 26 May '00

26 May '00

Hi, I looked into suse hardware database but I don't see support for motherboard Integrated AC ' 97 Compliant 3D Audio Controller AD1881 3D Enhanced Codec Also, searching through past postings, I could find some references (mostly german... even after "online translation" was hard!), but I am still a bit clueless. Does anyone have experience with such sound "card"? I have a manufacturer driver, but it's for earlier kernel versions. Also, I would like to avoid a $30 fee to Opensound (OSS)... asking too much? Hope not! Thanks a zillion, Alvaro Novo SuSE 6.3 Kernel 2.2.13 KDE 1.1.2 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

by pwilke＠alaska.net 26 May '00

26 May '00

Need Help with my Hauppauge Wintv Card. I am running Suse 64. Matrox Millenium G400 32M Ram, 256M Ram, MetroX, and Video mode is 1280x1024 on 21" Display. The Hauppauge supports from 640x480 to 1280x1024 16m Colors. I know this be cause I run it on the other OS I run the least amount of time (NT4.0). It is the Hauppauge Model 400 WinTV-radio with dbx-TV stereo, FM Radio & Remote PCI. Neither the Radio or TV will work under linux. Although with xawtv I have been able to see the sync channel/. (top of picture). Any Ideas. Oh I am running either WindowMaker or KDE..

[SLE] Kickstart
by jont＠ii.uib.no 26 May '00

26 May '00

Is there anything similar to Red Hat's Kickstart or Sun's Jumpstart in SuSE? If not, could the wizards at SuSE please include this functionality in the next version of the distro. It would be a _very_ important feature to have for those of us who have to install Linux on a _lot_ of PCs.

[SLE] GNOME applets not appearing
by rjwohlfar＠bigfoot.com 26 May '00

26 May '00

GNOME will no longer display applets in the panel or capplets in the Control Center. Starting an applet or capplet in a terminal gives the following errors: Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcontainer.c: line 730 (gtk_container_remove): assertion `widget->parent == GTK_WIDGET (container)' failed. Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `(unknown)' to `GtkWidget' Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 3493 (gtk_widget_get_style): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed. Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkctree.c: line 5132 (gtk_ctree_node_set_foreground): assertion `GTK_IS_CTREE (ctree)' failed. I just upgraded to SuSE 6.4 from 6.1. And applied all of the pathces from the FTP site. Applets worked fine in 6.1. I thought maybe it was caused by old libraries or headers. So I uninstalled all of the GNOME, gtk, and shlibs5 packages. /opt/gnome/bin and /opt/gnome/lib were pretty much empty. I did a "find /usr/lib -name '*gtk*' -print" to look for old gtk files. Nothing suspicious turned up. Re-installed all of the GNOME and gtk packages. But applets still won't run. Has someone else seen this? Any ideas on how to fix it?

[SLE] emu10k1 question
by alex＠physical36.chem.ufl.edu 26 May '00

26 May '00

Hi list does anybody have an idea why the emu10k1 module shipped with SuSE 6.4 only support 8 bit sound? I noticed this when I upgraded from 6.3 to 6.4. While running on 6.3 I had manually installed emu10k1 from the Soundblaster web site and was running happily with 16 bit, but after upgrading to 6.4 I decided to use the stock module supplied on the CD's which bounced me back to 8 bit. After an application has come up that required a bit better sound resolution I decided to manually install the module from the most recent beta version 0.4b and am now back to 16 bit. It is weird though that while installing it my sound device got changed from /dev/audio to /dev/dsp and /dev/sndstat does not respond anymore. Can someone point me to a good sound tutorial or manual that covers the whole nine yards? So far I had to just piece the necessary information together from here and there.

[SLE] Creating sound device files
by abrahams＠valinet.com 26 May '00

26 May '00

I had been using the OSS sound drivers and am trying to switch over to the kernel drivers. I've reconfigured the kernel (stock 2.2.15, not SuSE) to include module support for my sound card, an Ensoniq 1371. But I don't see the messages I should be getting on bootup: Sound initialization started. . . . . Sound initialization complete. Also, cat /dev/sndstat doesn't yield anything. I've looked in the Sound Howto but it's of no help. What have I failed to do?

[SLE] Who makes /lib/modules/xxx/modules.dep?
by abrahams＠valinet.com 26 May '00

26 May '00

Does anyone know how the file /lib/modules/2.2.x/modules.dep is created? I did a `make modules modules_install' with a stock (not SuSE) 2.2.15 kernel and found that I still had an older version of that file, according to the date. I then tried deleting it and rebooting. I got a new copy of the older version.

I like the idea of /home/ftp. In my case I constantly backup /home, /var, and /root because they get written to the most often. I only backup /bin, /etc, /usr, /sbin before I make additions and changes.

There is nothing fool hardy about developing a web page in very much the same way you design DTP. This is the goal of "WYSIWYG" Web development packages. By WYSIWYG (the term started in the first thread of this email) for the purpose of these emails we mean what you design is what you see on the browser. And by WYSIWYG it is obvious we mean like VB. And, yes, they push the boundaries of the browsers - but at the end of the day it is a language - and programming languages today always push the boundaries of whatever it is run on. But, of course - the crap tools produce html that even the best fall over on. But get yourself a good tool and this doesn't happen. Unless you use NS4.x that is :) Kev -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

He's showing Linux users what can be done, it's just eye candy so it's not like IE users are missing out on some groundshaking information. If you run Linux at home and have good bandwidth at home, check it out when you get home. AFAIK IE doesn't run on Linux, does it? If he is precluding the latest Mozilla release or other Open Source browsers from viewing his page then he's being stupid. But as far as not being able to view it with IE, BFD. I use Navigator at work because as a home Linux user it's what I use at home. Why the hell would I use different browsers at home and at work if one is available on both OSes?
