Opinions on how to proceed with sound card issues.
by Marshall Heartley 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Hello list, I have recently obtained a Audigy2 sound card and am having a few issues with it and I need some help/advice. I installed the card and went to packman's site and downloaded the new ALSA for SuSE 8.2. Installed it and tried to configure my sound card. Well it found it as a Audigy and I heard a pop through my speakers indicating that the system was trying to initialize the card. Tried to play a sound with it and all I got was silence. Well I went to opensource.creative.com and got the drivers there. I was able to compile them and after unloading the ALSA stuff out of the kernel, insert the module into the kernel. Well I got sound! On the next time I brought the machine up, I heard silence. Repeated the procedure again and I have sound once more. So I modified the modunes.conf to load just the one I compiled and not the ones that come with ALSA. This did not work. It looks like that I need the ones in ALSA to initialize this card then install the one I compiled. My question is this, Is there a way to put the 2 togeather so that everything will play nicely? Or am I going to have to do this procedure when I want sound? Any help will be appreciated! -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."

remote smtp using postfix question
by Tom Nielsen 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

I'm running postfix at my office and just setup my firewall so that I can send mail through the office while at home. I did so by only allowing my IP in. My question is if I can setup postfix or something else so that a password will be required before sending mail to my server IF it's coming from the outside world? Thanks, Tom - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

Fwd: Re: [SLE] Replacing SCSI CD-ROM/CD-RW drives with E-IDE
by Werner Guttmann 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Excuse my ignorance, but can please explain to me why I need to add these statements, and what their effect on my current system is. Btw, I've forgotten to mention that so far I've got SCSI disks only ... are there any reverse effects on these by turning on ide-scsi ?

Save current session(8.2, KDE 3.1.3)
by Franklin Maurer 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

I just upgraded gkrellm and now it no longer starts when i login to kde. How do I save the current session? I thought it was in the kmenu but can't find it. In control center > kde components > session manager I selected start previous sesssion but that doesn't work, so I'm assuming if I change it to start manually saved session, and save this session all will be back to normal.

Re: [SLE] inetd or not (Conclusions)
by Marius Roets 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Thanks for all the helpful answers on this. I have decided use xinetd. The reason being mostly that this seems to be the new technology. I appreciate that some people believe that the added complexity is not justified by the added functionality, but since Suse standard install includes xinetd, and not inetd, I think that this is probably the way to go in the future. Thanks again for all answers Regards Marius. >>> "Marius Roets" <Marius.Roets(a)eskom.co.za> 28/08/2003 10:42:31 >>> Hi everybody, I used to use inetd to enable and disable lesser used protocols on some servers. I have recently upgraded from Suse 7.3 to 8.2. I notice now that inetd is no longer installed by default. Before installing it, I was wondering if there is now a newer (better?) way of doing things, and if not, why is inetd not installed? I'm not an expert on network technologies, so I would appreciate explanations that assumes I'm an idiot:-) Thanks Marius -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

ehci-hcd acpi hang in 8.1
by Roger James 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

After using online update to apply the latest kernel updates to my 8.1 kernel I find that my system can no-longer boot with acpi enabled. The boot processing hangs when hotplug tries to load the ehci-hcd module. Booting with acpi turned off in the kernel parameters allows the boot to complete successfully. The Motherboard is a Jetway with an Nvidia nForce chipset and an Athlon 2.2. Video card is a GeForce 2. Has anyone else come across this? Does anyone have a fix? P.S. Is there a searchable archive of this list anywhere? Roger

Replacing SCSI CD-ROM/CD-RW drives with E-IDE
by Werner Guttmann 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Hi, I am just about to replace SCSI CD-ROM/CD-RW drives with IDE ones. Can anybody think of any problems that I might occur, or is this a straight-forward process where SuSe 8.1 will detect the new drives on first start-up and integrate them in a seamless way (or offer me the option to adjust configuration) Werner
