TV Tuner - Leadtek winfast_pvr2000 and MSI TV @anywhere Master
by AV 24 Oct '04

Hi, does any one knows something about this card? http://www.leadtek.com/multimedia/winfast_pvr2000_1.html Is it works in SuSE? I can not find what type of chips they are using. And one friend of mine is giving away MSI TV @nywhere Master, because he can not install correctly this card in Windows XP. Will this card work in SuSE? -- AV SuSE 9.1 Pro RLU #128180

This problem prevents me to press OK button or access some settings (I use Alt+mouse to move). Is there some settings to solve this? 4- Can KDE menu go to transparency mode as well as its task-bar panel? What about Gnome? 5- I installed SuSE "Neverball" rpm in RedHat 9.0; It works well for all graphics, musics, and sound effects, except one: the woman's speeches. Can by some settings it appear or I have to find and compile the source code only? 6- (Too stupid question?!) Can I install YaST for RedHat? 7- Why the gnome menu icon is intact (unlike the KDE one which is altered to SuSE)? In RedHat, It is a red hat ;-) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Some questions have not been replied yet (1, 4, and 5). Thank you for your help in all other questions.

kdar backup question.
by Bob S 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

Hello SuSE folk. Congratulations to me. Just got message 9.2 has been shipped to me. Awaiting it is a brand new AMD 64 system. Intend to swap both old hard drives into the new box with 512 megs of ram. The drives are 6gb (hda windoz) where the backup is, and a 80gb llnux (SuSE 8.2) which I will wipe and repartition for 9.2 (Should I use "virtual" drives to avoid the hassle of determining partition sizes?) Preparing for this, I have been doing kdar backups of my /home partition and some other /data partitions which I want to keep onto the other drive in my old system. (hda, as above) Now, after installing 9.2 onto hdb I will need to restore my /home and the other / partiions which I have saved-backed up. I guess the first order of business would be to install kdar since it would have been wiped with the repartioning process. Not sure about this but I think I can pick and choose from the backup on hda to my new partitions on hdb. Next, (or before) I would have to go and download apt, right? It is a different version for 9.0 and higher than my 8.2 version I think. I have always thought that apt and Yast2 were mutually exclusive, You can only use one or the other, but lately on the list people have been saying they can use both. I really love apt and have been using it for years. Have never ever used Yast for updates. Question is: Am I going about this in the right way? Any suggestions, corrections from the guru's on this list? Bob S PS There will probably be some 64 bit questions coming soon.

I tried to use Yast's 'Change Source of Installation' to change my source of installation to: 'ftp.suse.com/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source', but my attempt failed: Unable to create installation source from URL 'ftp//ftp.suse.com/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source'. Details: ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media) Try again? What do I need to do to make this work? Thanks, Jerome

"Device Busy" CDR's and DVD's
by Joe Polk 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

Q: Lately, everytime I insert a CD into either my CDR or my DVD I get a "device busy" error when I attempt to eject or umount. Even if I'm not in that directory and nothing is open running from there. If I try to umount -f I get "illegal seek." I'm running SuSE 9.0 Pro. I hadn't noticed this before, but then again I've recently begun going through my old backups on CD and removing junk. -- <<JAV>>
