Sounds dies in 9.2
by Brooks 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

I've noticed that my sound dies in 9.2 after I leave it on overnight. I have no idea what causes it or what to look at. When I check it in YaST it tells me that everything is fine. So, I have to reset it in YaST and then reboot to get it going again. Has anyone else run across this? If so, how did you fix it? Thanks in advance Jack

I'll let you know whenever I get my 9.2 installed - I've had it sitting in it's box for several weeks now, and just haven't been able to get to it. :( I'll try installing Civilization when I get 9.2 up and running...

RE: [SLE] network interface not found
by Ricci Graham 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Sid, On boot, it shows the Compaq Netelligent card and then it does mention the eepro100 also. In Yast it does NOT recognize a NIC at all. When I go in to Yast and configure the NIC as a Compaq Netelligent, is says the device is busy. When I configure it as a Intel EE Pro 100 it says it find the interface. Then when I do a "dmesg" it says "TLAN: Cannot open eth0 because IRQ 0 is already in use" Any ideas on how to get around this.

You should be able to delete and add devices in YaST. If you have both cards installed, do you see both devices in YaST? In dmesg, on boot up or in /var/log/boot.msg does it mention the eepro100? If just the eepro100 is installed, you may have to mv ifcfg-eth-id-00:04:61:4e:bb:5b to a different filename and try YaST again. "lspci" should also show what Ethernet Controllers have been found.

Nvidia woes after upgrading to kernel 2.6.8-24.5
by Stephen Boulet 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

_________Has anyone else had trouble after upgrading to the latest kernel update from Suse? After a reboot X didn't come up. I'm getting a message saying 'failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel driver'. I can insmod it, but the message is still there. I did use YOU to reinstall the driver. Any help *much* appreciated. Stephen If your desktop gets out of control easily, you probably have too much stuff on it that doesn't need to be there. Donna Smallin, "Unclutter Your Home"

by Pagan 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

-- I've been running 9.2 pro for a while now, and noticed this problem on two installs. Anyone have any suggestions or encountered this one? I can send emails fine with Kmail. However, when I attemot to sign them with my gnupg key it fails. Here's the breakdown: Compose message click send Whenever you would normally get a dialog box prompting you for the passphrase the program freezes. I have no choice but to close it down. I have tried this using Any, inline gpg, smime and gnupg All yield same results. Any help?

Unexpected ssh, firefox and thunderbird behavior
by Jim Sabatke 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

This just started happening with new versions of firefox and thunderbird. With firefox: 1. ssh to remote machine. Same user name as on both boxes 2. Start firefox on remote machine 3. firefox runs, with setup from the "local" machine. Remote machine has no bookmarks. Bookmarks and all other setup data, only available on local machine are displayed. 4. No matter what user runs firefox on the remote machine, the local machine's user's data are used. 5. Downloads are saved to the user's directory on the local machine. Biggest annoyance: Don't want local anything when running webmin and similar web apps. I often have multiple instances of firefox running on different machines, displayed on one box. With thunderbird 1. Won't run an instance of thunderbird on remote machine if username is the same as a user running thunderbird on the local machine. 2. Will run an instance of thunderbird, with proper configuration, if the same username is NOT running on the local machine. Biggest annoyance: It isn't really. I don't care about this one really, but tried it after the firebird problem. I don't understand how this can happen, as I thought ssh would run the program on the remote box and only display it on the local box. Is there some sort of option I'm missing? I ssh to the remote box with "ssh -X name@machine" Am I seeing something strange, or misunderstanding ssh, or is this a software problem with the Mozilla stuff? Thanks, Jim

SUSE taking over the World! Finally!
by Allen 02 Dec '04

http://pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/pcw.nsf/0/4662743FE8FF0106CC256F56007A25C7?Ope… Long link but a good read. I've been plugging for SUSE since I first used it and nothing can touch it. The only thing that even comes CLOSE is Slackware. SUSE is really getting up to par on the business world, and I think it's great. And look at the screen shot towards the bottom! BEAUTIFUL! Take that XP, RedHat, Sco, And every other shitty OS.
