Resizing reiserfs partitions
by Michal Milos 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

Hello! I have some free space on my Windows NTFS partition and I want to add this space to SuSE reiserfs partition. My disk looks like this: -------------- ----------- --------------- ------------- | Windows NTFS | SuSE swap | SuSE reiserfs | Windows FAT | -------------- ----------- --------------- ------------- With NTFS partition it will be easy, I could use YaST or Partition Magic under Windows. But that about SuSEs space? Is there any way to resize reiserfs partition? Is it posible to move swap partition to this free space from NTFS and then on the rest of free space and the space after moving swap to resize SuSE main partition?[*] TIA [*]: ------- ----------- ---------------------- ------------- | Win...| SuSE swap | SuSE reiserfs | Windows FAT | ------- ----------- ---------------------- ------------- -- [ Pozdrawiam, Michał Miłoś :: Krasnall ] [ JID: krasnall_chrome_pl ][ GG 122583 ] [ Więcej o mnie na: http://Krasnall.TK ]

Problems loading kernel-source
by roger 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

I'm trying to to update my ATI display drivers for a Radeon 9800 to enable 3D on a SuSE Linux 9.0 Personal installation , following the instructions outlined here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/ATI/suse90/fglrx/3… Unfortunately I can't get the kernel-source to install. I tried several different routes to no avail (Kernel source option is grayed out in Online update in YaST, downloading and installing with rpm looks succesful but doesn't copy any files into /usr/src/linux, YaST installation of the rpm package starts but immediately returns without any message). What am I doing wrong? Is there an option somewhere in the Personal edition prohibiting the installation of source files? Any help appreciated. The rpm module I'm trying to install is kernel-source-2.4.21-144.src.rpm TIA

Audigy Rear Speakers
by Pacheco Jason NPRI 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

In SuSE 9.0, do the EMU10K1 drivers support all of the speaker configurations that the sound cards handle? I have an Audigy2 ZS, but I had the same problem with my Audigy Xgamer. I cannot figure out how to get the rear speakers on. Everything works fine in windows, so I know it's not a hardware issue. Is there a setting somewhere.

Inspiron sounds problems mostly solved, Except Xine with DVDs...help!
by Josh Poage 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

Hi all, I mostly solved my earlier sound problems (Dell Inspiron 2650). Somehow the modem driver installation had corrupted the ALSA drivers. Once i removed and reinstalled those (from Yast2) then sound came back. However, I am unable to get any sound from DVDs in Xine. I compiled and installed the newest version from xinehq.de. Everything else plays just fine, with sound, but playing a DVD I just get picture without sound. I did install libdvdcss. What should I do? Here's the output from Xine: :~> xine This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.9.23.

Internet Video

I've been trying to play a video clip on c-span .org. I've only been able to play it on XP with RealOne Player. I have RealPlayer as a plugin for netscape (I think, audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin) but when I click on the video link I only get the message 'document done' but the video doesn't play. Anyone know how to watch video on c-span? Thanks, Jerome

Charset problems
by Selim Ober 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

Hi, I'm using Kde with Suse 9.0 pro in English, my keyboard's layout is english also. My problem is with turkish caracters... I can't see them correctly, but this is not always true. For exemple in KMail, those caracters appear correctly in mails, but not in the mail list section, so I have two identical caracters in the same application, but one is correct, the other not. This is similar for Knode or Address Book also. I've looked for some global default encoding parameter in yast but i couldn't find out. Any idea? thanks

Re: [SLE] text to voice

I use rsynth-2.0 -- the linux driver included is 8 bit only (and needs a one line fix for it to work with SuSE). I have hacked together a 16-bit OSS (compatability) driver for it if you are interested. I have plans to write a native alsa and arts driver for it. The voices that festival produces are _slightly_ more natural sounding, but festival takes several seconds to start up on my K6-2/500 whereas rsynth starts instantaneously even on a K5/100. I used to use saytime to "chime" the time, but it writes headerless mu-law files to /dev/audio, and that causes SuSE-9.0 to hang solid looping, saying the time over and over, and the computer becomes totally unresponsive (an alsa OSS compatibility bug I have been too lazy to report). I now use a perl script to call rsynth to chime the quarter hour (also available if you are interested, but it is such a simple script I doubt there will be any takers.)

SuSeconfig Question
by Chuck Stuettgen 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

Does anyone know what configuration file controls the start order for the services in the /etc/rc.d/rcx.d folders? Specifically, which file resets the order to the SuSe defaults if the order has been modified? I know how to disable SuSeconfig, but at this point I am not interested in that. I simply want SuSeconfig to stop changing the startup order of the PCMCIA service. With Mandrake and Redhat once I changed the startup order so that PCMCIA started before network I *never* had to worry about Redhat's up2date or the Mandrake update utility changing it back. SuSeconfig on the other hand insists on setting PCMCIA to S08pcmcia which comes after S05network. I set pcmcia to be S04pcmcia so it starts before network. This insures that I always get a network connection no matter what network I am connecting to. I realize that hotplugger is supposed to start pcmcia but it is simply unreliable when it comes to pcmcia cards. I should note however, it works fine with USB devices. Before I changed the boot order so that PCMCIA would start first I would not get a network connection when first booted up. This because when the network is set to start first and the only connection to the network is a wireless pcmcia card, that hasn't started yet, you can't get an DHCP assigned ipaddress. So if someone can tell me which file I can modify so the startup order of PCMCIA won't be reset when yast or YOU is run I would be grateful.
