annoying kscd pop-up
by Alex Angerhofer 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

Whenever I put an audio cd in my CDROM kscd pops up. I find this annoying as I don't always want to use it. This seems to be a behavior that the system has since installing 9.0. Is there a place in kde where this can be regulated? Thanks for any pointers, ALex.

SuSE 9.0 support for SATA sil3114
by Martin Cordova 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

Does anyone know where can I find a driver for the SATA controller Silicon Image 3114. This is a very popular controller, but SuSE 9.0 Pro can't detect the SATA harddisk using this controller. VIA is OK, but no luck with sil3114. Any help will be very appreciated. Regards, Martin _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

MOBO recommendation?
by Chris Carlen 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

Id like to build a new system, probably with AMD. I usually get Asus boards, but am open to others as I have had increasing failures with Asus boards. Also, I'd like to use SATA in the near future, so one that will have a compatible SATA controller would be good. I prefer no integrated sound, LAN, and or course video. Comments appreciated. -- _____________________ Christopher R. Carlen crobc(a)earthlink.net Suse 8.1 Linux 2.4.19

Mozilla 1.6 versus Mozilla 1.4
by John Boyle 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

To All: First of all what real difference is there between the two? Does that difference make enough to go through the trouble of installing? Has anyone asked SuSe-Novell if they are going to update Mozilla as part of their Linux? :-)

One in "/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf" the other in "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf" "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf" is in the Root Directory of postgres on my system so that's the one the system was using. I thought the system was using the other one: "/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf", the only one I knew about. Thank you for helping me figure it out, Jerome

Mouse problem
by Greg Dickinson 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Hello All, I have an HP Pavillion 6355 upon which I have installed SuSE 8.1. Everything goes fine during install, but when I boot up I no longer have a mouse. The cursor won't move at all and none of the mouse buttons click on anything. I have tried the original PS/2 mouse, a Logitech 3 button serial mouse and an USB mouse. None work. Can someone please help me out here? I am not a newbie to Linux and I have installed this same disks on a Gateway Machine at work. Everything works fine there. You can email me at bassman(a)sdf.lonestar.org or at Gregory.Dickinson(a)colorado.edu.

Fwd: K3b Burn Problems in SuSE 8.1 (and problems with CD-RW drive in general)
by Tom Reagan 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Charles and everyone, I guess I wasn't clear enough. can't even burn at all anymore. in fact, If I try to do "eject /dev/hdc" it gives the error i described earlier in the part of the message that says "SECOND, RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT"... Any ideas how to fix the CD-RW drive problem? Thanks! Tom Charles Philip Chan <cpchan(a)sympatico.ca> wrote: After burning a CD, press the "show debug output" button right next to the close button. Charles --------PROBLEM DESCRIBED BELOW------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 00:19:23 -0800 (PST) From: Tom Reagan (tom_is_my_name(a)yahoo.com Subject:K3b Burn Problems in SuSE 8.1 (and problems with CD-RW drive in general) I installed a new CD-RW drive on my desktop running SuSE 8.1 Professional Linux. Right now, I have two drives in the system. A regular old CD-ROM and this CD-RW drive. My CD-ROM (/dev/hdd) can read CDs just fine (audio or data). I tried to install a later version of K3b to no avail. It made me update to KDE 3.1. That's a whole other (very long, painful) story...I am back to KDE3.0.3 (I think/hope). Bottom line is that I'm using k3b 0.7 right now. Prior to the KDE sidetracking, if I did "eject /dev/hdc" my CD-RW would eject. If I did "eject /dev/hdd" my CD-ROM would eject. Further, k3b correctly(?) recognized/recognizes my reader as /dev/hdd and my CD-RW as /dev/sg0. I'm pretty sure that those are in fact the right /dev files because if I do "eject /dev/hdc" or "eject /dev/hdd" the drive I would expect to eject does. Two problems... FIRST, HERE'S WHAT USED TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE KDE3.1 SIDETRACKING: When trying to burn mp3's in k3b, sometimes (ie. rarely) the burn seemed to go okay. By this I mean that all the tracks are written and seem to be the right length. However, the tracks on the CD are nothing but static. Also, the very end of the songs--probably the last half second or so--seems to sound right. (Yes, it was set up as an audio project.) Most of the time though, I was getting the message "not all files have been buffered". I also noticed that the programs tccat, tcdecode, tcextract, tcscan, tcprobe, and transcode all seemed to be missing. SECOND, RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT, I CAN'T EVEN EJECT /dev/hdc (the CD-RW) ANYMORE AT ALL. I get the message: eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error I get the same message if I try to "eject /dev/sg0". Admittedly though, I never tried that before the KDE Sidetrack. However, if I go into K3b setup it STILL says the CD-RW is "Generic SCSI" and on /dev/sg0. I have the boot line in grub set for ide-scsi (or scsi-ide can't remember which offhand).
