[opensuse] Using Zip Drive on 10.1
by Billie Erin Walsh 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

I moved my external Zip Drive to my Linux box to access a file stored there. KDE popped an icon on the desktop. HOWEVER, when tried to access it this came up: Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist In my 10.0 installation this method worked just fine. Well.... at least clicking on the desktop icon worked just fine. I use an external hard drive sometimes on the USB port also. What does this message mean and how the heck do I access my drive? -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

There is MORE repositories on the market than PackMan and Guru. For some reasons, the videolan project decided to have it's own control over RPMs for openSUSE. Probably due to some reports from users which were not satisfied with the packages, be it for features or for whatever. As you might know, on their website was written that they were looking for a packager... but for the meantime get the one from Dennis Quentin (packman). This changed and there are now official rpms at videolan.org. Just because something is not comming from packman and/or guru does NOT Mean it is not an RPM for SUSE Linux. The chosen name 'libmad' reflects exactlz what is inside the package. So: start looking forther than your nose. And help users in a constructiv way. Not everybody wants to have their system killed / in an unsupported way by adding a repo that replaces system libs (like alsa for example). There are users that would like to stay on the 'supported' level. Ever tried to report a bug against suse and then it comes that a system lib was replaced? Forget about the report immediate. will most likely end up in a 'works for me' . Don't misunderstand me: I appreciate the huge collection of rpm's at packman and guru and I happen to install some packages from there too. But under no circumstances I would like to have these repos as full featured in my update repos.

[opensuse] moodbar and MP3s
by David Geiger 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi, I'm just trying to set up the moodbar for amaroK. Unfortunately, it doesn't decode mp3s for me. As mentioned on http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Moodbar, I have installed the following packages: gstreamer010 gstreamer010-plugins-base gstreamer010-plugins-good gstreamer010-plugins-ugly gstreamer10-plugins-moodbar Works fine for wav-files but when I try it on an mp3 I get a bus error: # moodbar -o test.mood test.mp3 Analyzing file test.mp3 Bus error: Internal data flow error. Anybody familiar with this? David -- David Geiger lists(a)david-geiger.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I have a 100GB Seagate external drive (USB connectivity) that's not being automounted in 10.2.

USB thumbdrives are automounting with no issue, it's just this drive that's not. It was mounted automatically in 10.1. The machine in question has 2 internal SATA hard drives. Bug, known issue, other...? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DNS not responding through firewall
by James D. Parra 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hello, I set up DNS to on Suse 9.3 and it is not responding to requests coming through the firewall (Mikrotik). Everything else is coming through the firewall, mail, ftp, web, .etc., so its not the firewall. I can get DNS requests to respond from the server from the local LAN, but not externally. The firewall is off on the DNS server. Any suggestions? Thank you, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
