9.1 unuseably slow
by David Bottrill 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

We received a copy of 9.1 today at work and I have installed this on three machines with dissapointing results. The first machine was an IBM Thinkpad R40 with a Centino 1600 CPU. This machine worked fine and the performance was great. The second and third machines were unusable, KDE takes serveral minutes to start, attempting to start YAST for instance will take about a minute for the SU box to appear and then another minute for YAST to load. I get similar results for all applications I have tried, in all instances the system performs like a P100 with very little RAM. The machines that run slowly are both Athlon XP based machines, one being an Athlon XP 2400 with 1GB of DDR RAM on an ECS Elite motherboard. The second machine is an XP2000 with 512MB of PC3200 RAM on a PCChips motherboard. I have applied all the updates with no effect. Any ideas would be appreciated, I've had to switch back to 9.0 as the whole 9.1 experience is unuseable has anybody got any ideas?

DVD playback...
by Matthew 14 May '04

14 May '04

Good day, Yes there are legal reasons why SuSE cannot have DVD playback of those pesky movies, but what be done? Would it be too expensive for Novell/SuSE to license a codec? Seems like there is a new copyright law in Germany that has made PackMan be more cautious. No one has made a player for Linux that is 100% legal, is it due to expense? Matt

Unofficial SuSEFAQ project needs your help
by Togan Muftuoglu 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Hi everyone, As the subject header says the project needs your help in adding new content. While I am still unpacking the big part is finished and I can play with my projects again. However, while I was away SuSE 9.0 came lots of new comers joined etc. etc . As a result I was not able to follow the current threads since October and that is in a few days two months time. So I need FAQ entries the question and the answer just in simple text format (yes putting url links so that I can follow the thread will help) Any mini howto's are also welcomed send it to my direct attention note: my mail server does not like spam at all so make sure you have your reverse address delegated. If that becomes a problem please post it to the http://sf.net/projects/susefaq Thanks in advance. -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://susefaq.sf.net

No CD sound with SUSE 9.0
by Karel De Vriendt 22 Feb '04

22 Feb '04

I did a standard install with SUSE 9.0 on my computer. I have a Creative SB Live!Value sound card. YAST detects my sound card as "CT4832 SBLive! Value" and when, in the sound configuration dialog, I test the volume, I can hear the music. But I do not hear the sound associated with events in GNOME (of course after having started the sound server) and when I play a CD with xmms, again no sound. In the startup sequence of the computer, I see - start sound driver: emu10K1 - restoring previous sound settings Can somebody suggest how to proceed? Thanks in advance, Karel De Vriendt

Can anyone recommend a backup program/script for home user?
by Tom Nielsen 19 Feb '04

19 Feb '04

I was just about to setup a raid 1 when I realized I didn't want to really accomplish that. What I want is something to backup my system incase I fubar something. So, rather than dd my drive every night, I'm wondering how I can backup my system where only the changed files get backed up rather than the whole drive. I looked at rsync but I'm not sure if that's what I want. Any advice? Tom

No fonts in kde, gnome after apt updating
by E.F.Maurer 12 Jan '04

12 Jan '04

I just recently ran a selective synaptic upgrade, everything except a few gnome packages that were going to replace ulb packages. I finished the upgrade in windowmaker because I was going to upgrade kde, logging into kde this morning k mail had no fonts. Konquror as well. the desktop however looked normal, it seems it's just kde apps. I tried gnome but gnome has no fonts anywhere. I ran SuSEconfig which didn't fix it. I have a edited sources.list base funktronics kde packman packman-i686 security update suser-rbos usr-local-bin wine Any ideas on how to get kde apps in kde, and gnome working again? Sorry if this has been asked but with my new job I can't read as much of the mail from this list as I used to. TIA -- E.F.Maurer Using SuSE 9.0 Pro

Re:[SLE] Quake 3 and sound in Suse 9
by sebastien 05 Jan '04

hi, got the same problem as you : Since I installed SuSE 9.0, no sound with quake 3, with the same error message. And I can't get alsa ouput work with xmms (oss works fine). It tells me there is no output device. What kind of chip you are using for sound ? I use a SiS chipset for sound, the one which is integrated on the motherboard. I tried different kernel (2.4.22 and 2.4.23rcX) and i updated the alsa drivers, but this did not fix the sound problem with quake 3 and xmms. I think I will buy a cheap sound blaster live which is better supported. ---------- Initial Header ----------- From : Glenn Pedersen <glennped(a)optusnet.com.au> To : Suse <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Cc : Date : Fri, 28 Nov 2003 09:29:27 +1000 Subject : [SLE] Quake 3 and sound in Suse 9 Hi guys, Just recently got Suse 9 and am having problems with the sound in quake3.
