CDs not Playing again
by Thom Nuzum 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Hi Folks, I just installed SuSE 9.0 and cannot play cds. In 8.2 it seemed to work with at least xmms player. It would like to play CDs with all the other players too of course. I have a LG DVD-ROM DRD8160B player. I installed the SuSE DVD with it no problems. Also my sound card is a blaster live I think. I removed the sound card and am using on board sound (soyo board) in the hopes that is was the lack of cable between DVD-ROM and sound card. CDs still don't play: i.e. I can see them playing, but hear nothing. I have both physically a dvd-rom and a cd-rw and icons for both. In dev/media there is cd-rom, dvd, and cd-rw. I have tried removing autodetect and changing to Alsa and playing with mixers and increasing sound. Still even xmms (which I assume does not need sound card cable) pplays but without sound. I've heard LG is crap and am thinking of buying a new dvd-rom that will play cd music in SuSe so any suggestions to that affect would be welcome. Thanks in advance. Everything else in 9.0 works great. Thom Nuzum thom(a)cavtel.net

mtink / Epson C84
by Michael Satterwhite 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I recently upgraded my printer from a Stylus Color C82 to a Stylus Color C84. On the linuxprinting.org site, it says to configure it as a C82, which I did. It prints perfectly. The problem is that mtink is no longer able to work with this printer. It reports an error in communication. I'm running 0.9.51. Does anyone know where I can get the 0.9.56 version that will run on SuSE. Alternately, is there another fix available for this? - ---Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/pTTdjeziQOokQnARAlG8AKCVKKjWCCVZwKDDNxnFyeIQgS7WpgCeLuKb PCXFE83fPAmhkm34faYf3Go= =WOka -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

How to use a WIndows XP printer via samba?
by Gustavo Rahal 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hi I'm trying to configure suse 9 to print to a Epson CX3200 that is on a shared windows xp machine. When configuring the printer on yast I selected "Print via SMB Network Server" and followed all the steps. Everything seemed to be right (yast detects the printer on winXP). The only problem is that nothing is happening! When sending a job the "processing" state remains forever... Does anyone have any idea? Thanks Gustavo

QT Java Bindings
by Kenneth Payne 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hi - Has anyone ever got the qt to java bindings to work. On both SUSE 8.1 and now 9.0 I find I can compile java programs using the qtjava.jar file but the programs will not run. Last time I complained about this the experts on this list told me it was because the libqtjava shared library was compiled with the wrong version of gcc. Shouldn't this have been fixed by now? Best wishes - Ken

re. Problem w/proliant

Thanks to everybody who replied. I tried the various boot parameters that were suggested but all they did was change the point of failure. pheonix1t suggested (off list) getting an HP "smartstart" disk and I have ordered one. If it works I'll advise the list. George -- "Some mornings it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps." Emo Philips

Kernel upgrade with Suse 8.2
by marcia 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Dear All, I have an Athlon xp 1600+, 512 megs of ram, 60 gigs of harddrive running Suse 8.2. I had to upgrade the kernel because for some reason usb would not work at all until I did. I used k_athlon-2.4.21-108.i586.rpm which was working great for 2 weeks. My usb worked and it was faster. Now, I am having major problems and I am wondering if it would be good to upgrade again from source. Or I could just reinstall Suse 8.2 from my CD but then my usb will not work again. Is there a possible usb fix for the athlon's that anyone knows of that will not require upgrading the kernel? Also, I would like to make my own bootable CD of my optimized Suse system once it is the way I want it. Is this possible and how would I do that? Thanks for any suggestions or help. Marcia
