Kuickshow not in 9.2
by dries 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hello All, Kuickshow is missing from 9.2 instead a util called 'gwenview' which is (in my case) unusable, it freezes the system completely. Is there an alternative (good simple and fast) picture viewer (i now use xzgv, but i cant get it to work on directories by clicking on a jpg in konqueror, it will only show this one jpg). Grtz Dries Pruimboom -- 01110111 01110111 01110111 00101110 01110000 01110010 01110101 01101001 01101101 01100010 01101111 01101111 01101101 00101110 01110100 01101011 <End of message>

Disable .local multicast DNS resolution?
by Sean 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hi, Just tried installing Novell Linux Desktop 9 and found after several hours that there is "special" handling of .local top level domains. The system decides to use multicast instead of standard DNS resolution. The release notes say to stop using .local but there's just no way we'll be able to do that any time soon. Has a configuration option to disable this behavior been added since the release? Thanks, Sean

TV cards and 9.2
by David Bottrill 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

I have two TV cards that I have user in the past with SuSE on in an old IXMicro card the other is a PixelView card. The last version of SuSE O had these working with was 9.0 since then neither card has worked. To prove a point I downgraded my test machine (removeable discs) from 9.2 to 9.1 and neither card would work. I then went back to 9.0 and at least the IXMicro card works, I didn't try the other. 9.0 was the last SuSE distro to use the 2.4.x kernel so my questions are: 1) What has broken, does anyone have any clues? 2) Alternatively what TV cards will work with 9.2? I'm in the UK and so use the PAL-I TV standard. The symptoms are the bttv module loads, kdetv or other TV programs see "snow" but scanning for channels fails to find any signals. I have let YAST autodetect the cards and I have manually configured the cards including specifying the tuner module to no avail. I'm getting the following errors in the log: bttv0: SCERR @36531000,bits: HSYNC OFLOW FBUS SCERR* bttv0: timeout: drop=54 irq=55138/61043, risc=2264104c, bits: HSYNC OFLOW FDSR Whilst kdetv is running and with some logging enabled for the BTTV driver I get something like this repeated over and over although this may just be ongoing logging of normal operation: bttv0: risc packed : line 0 ptr eb7840010 (repeated through to) bttbv0 risc packed: line 157 ptr eb7845f8 bttv0: risc packed: 64 sglist elems bttv0: loop=0 fc=4955 riscs=1, riscc=366fa01c, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC bttv0: loop=0 fc=4956 riscs=1, riscc=32d22024, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC bttv0: loop=0 fc=4957 riscs=1, riscc=3b2c05a4, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC 7 FDSR bttv0: loop=0 fc=4958 riscs=1, riscc=366f103c, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC FBUS bttv0: loop=0 fc=4959 riscs=1, riscc=32d2301c, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC bttv0: loop=0 fc=4960 riscs=4, riscc=2b7bf01c, bits: HSYNC 7 RISCI* FDSR bttv0/vbi: buf prepare c19ca6e0: top=c19c1784 bottom=c19ca791 field=seq-tb tbbv0/vbi: queue c19ca6e0 Thanks in advance for any advise guys. -- David Bottrill david(a)bottrill.org www.bottrill.org Registered Linux user number 330730 Internet SIP Phone: 1-747-244-2699

YOU question
by B. Stia 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hello SuSE people, Just installed 9.2 on my brand new AMD 64 system. Installed like a dream come true. (no dual layer DVD problems) Then restored all of my old 8.2 /home and /data stuff without any serious (but sometimes problematic issues) with Kdar. This system FLIES !!! Open Office and The Gimp open in less than 10 seconds. Konqueror, Kmail, & Firefox open almost immediately. I am a very happy 9.2 user! Now, for the question - Figured I would do the YOU update. (Never did one before since SuSE 6.or 7. or whenever it was available) Always used Apt. (and will again for package updates) (The 9.1 64 bit of Apt won't install - yet ) Connected to the server and there was a huge list of update patches. (Many megabytes) Some are red, some are blue, and some are black. All have checkmarks next to them to be updated? Question is, what am I looking at? Do they all need to be updated ? (excluding, of course packages that I don't need or want) Looking for a little guidance here. Bob S.

Well, it has to be something beyond the SuSE list, otherwise I'd be seeing it to. That leaves you, your ISP or some intermediate point.

Alsa 1.0.7: No SB Audigy LS Soundcard found
by Terje J. Hanssen 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

I just upgraded to the Alsa 1.0.7 rpms on Suse 9.1, because it should support my Creative, SB Audigy LS sound card (according to the alsa driver developer). However, Yast2 still doesn't find or list this card. I also tried to run alsaconf in a terminal, but got the message: "No supported PnP or PCI card found". However, using the Yast2 hardware info, this card is listed under the sections PCI and Sound as "Creative Multimedia audio controller". (and it works on the same multiboot PC on Win2k, so the hardware should be correct installed). Is there something more that has to be done to get the sound card to work on Suse 9.1? (for example recompile the kernel or edit the /etc/modules for the correct settings for the card) Regards, Terje J. Hanssen

I check Packman and couldn't find a plug in for xine for wmv format files. Where can I get it for 9.2? Thanks! Fred -- "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin 1759
