[opensuse] Blue screen whenever trying to view video
by Richard Atcheson 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

I have a Dell Inspiron 1150 with an Intel 855 video card. Prior to installing 10.3 I had no problem playing any kind of video via MPlayer, Xine, Kaffeine or any other video player. With 10.3 all I get is a blue screen on any video player I try. I can hear the audio for any movie/video I try to play. I have googled and searched the opensuse lists and forums and tried everytghing from settin the vga on boot to changing the video drivers in the settings menu. Nothing works, My wite's Dell has a real video card in it and works fine with 10.3. Any suggestions are appreciated.

[opensuse] Display Power Management Ceased Functioning (SuSE Linux 10.0 / KDE)
by Randall R Schulz 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Hi, Several days ago my DPMS stopped working. I'd had no trouble with it for a very long time, did not perform any software updates nor change any KDE Control Center or YaST / SaX settings. As far as I can tell, it just spontaneously stopped working. A possible clue is the fact that the screen saver is replaced by a size-varying, (slowly) jumping X logo (as in the X Window System logo) at the time that the monitor should go into standby mode. I've tried resetting the DPMS settings in KDE Control Center, but it had no effect. Can anybody suggest what the problem might be or how I might diagnose the problem? Thanks.

[opensuse] Suse 10.3 hangs for 2 minutes at start of boot sequence.
by walt 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi, I tried to upgrade Suse 10.2 to 10.3 but that failed so I did a clean, fresh install with a freshly partitioned harddisk. Suse displays the boot options screen and then switches to the normal splash screen where you should be able to press esc to get to text screen showing you what its doing. And this is the problem, its sits there for 2 minutes or more and the keyboard won't respond. Then it finally starts the boot process at which point I can press esc to see the progress. Once it starts it behaves normally but I have to eliminate the long delay before it boots. Any ideas? I have already removed all peripherals especially usb devices but to no avail.

Lilo then worked upon first try. Kind regards Philippe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox Upgrade Dependency
by Bryen 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

I'm running 2.0.0.8 Firefox currently. Yesterday's updater tells me that 2.0.0.10 is now available. However when I attempt to install it, it says Can't satisfy requirement MozillaFirefox == 2.0.0.9-1.1 for MozillaFirefox-debuginfo-2.0.0.9-1.1.i586. I'm given the option to delete MozillaFirefox-debuginfo Ignore this requirement here Generally ignore this requirement I never got a 2.0.0.9 update, and I think someone mentioned here the other day that we were skipping that version and going straight to 2.0.0.10. Any insight? -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] iPhone + openSUSE?
by Thomas R. Jones 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hello all, I was wondering if anybody here has had the opportunity of syncing a iPhone on a openSUSE system? Preferably the 10.3 release. Got mine today, it recognizes the device as a camera. F-Spot downloads images. But I haven't tried to go any farther yet. Any caveats, workarounds, and general tips or tricks. Cheers. Thomas R.

[opensuse] Volume Labels
by Donald D Henson 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

I have four partitions on three external disk drives. They show up in my Gnome Places Panel as <capacity> Volume. For example: 129 GB Volume I would like to have them show up with a more meaningful name, such as: Public This seems like a problem with a simple solution but the articles I've found so far go into theoretical kernel jargon, about 99% of which I don't understand. Can anyone point me to an easily understandable procedure for naming a volume? I'd appreciate any assistance.

[opensuse] Volume Mount Sequence
by Donald D Henson 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

I am running OpenSuSE 10.3 with the 2.6 default kernel. I have four partitions on three external disk drives. Every time I reboot, not often but it happens, the partitions mount in what appears to be random order. One time, a partition will be mounted as '/media/Disk-2' and the next time 'media/Disk'. Since each one contains NFS exported folders, I have to manually change the pathnames, etc. As I said in another post with a related problem, this seems like a problem with a simple solution but the articles I've found so far go into theoretical kernel jargon, about 99% of which I don't understand. Can anyone point me to an easily understandable procedure to make the external drives mount to the same mount point every time? Any assistance will be sincerely appreciated.

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 10.2 missing vncconfig?
by Chris Worley 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Xvnc's "man" page says vncconfig is a necessary companion to vncserver/Xvnc: -SendCutText Send clipboard changes to clients (default is on). Note that you must also run vncconfig(1) to get the clipboard to work. -AcceptCutText Accept clipboard updates from clients (default is on). Note that you must also run vncconfig(1) to get the clipboard to work. ...But, vncconfig doesn't exist in any of the vnc RPM's???
