[opensuse] [maybe OT] Mic on Skype won't work
by Martin Mielke 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Hi all, the mic won't work on openSuSE 10.2 when using the latest Skype version for Linux. That is, I can hear the other party but they can't hear me at all. Reading on the Skype forums I found this: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=9147fe18079ca59d058dcf0983dc5385&showtop… and that leads me to: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=66109 so... I double-checked with alsamixer and kmix that nothing needed was muted or disabled. And yes, cables are correctly plugged :-) Afterwards I also tried downgrading to Skype 1.2.x ... but it still doesn't work as it should. I also tried with the OSS wrapper aoss, just in case, with no luck at all... Then I fired up krecord and checked that it was possible to record/playback my own voice Has anyone found a solution for this??

[opensuse] Changing Remote Administration screen resolution
by Tim Nicholson 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

The default Screen resolution for Remote Administration is set to 1024x768. I presume this is from the setting in file /etc/xinetd.d/vnc. I would like the option to switch to a higher resolution, and the above file seems to allow for such things. I have enabled the higher res option on port 5902 in the above file, (default is disabled) opened 5902 in the firewall, and restarted X. However I cannot connect to my server on 5902 (5901 works fine).

Hi Vince, have you tried to escape the \'s ? something like: cd c:\\foo\\bar HTH, Martin ----- Original Message ---- From: Vince Oliver <vince(a)complex.elte.hu> To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org Sent: Wednesday, March 7, 2007 2:49:37 PM Subject: [opensuse] change directorie hi All, When I want to change directory in Cygwin I simply copy the path from Windows's Command Prompt or Total Commander to Cygwin command line like (I do that when path is very long): cd c:\users\oliver\temp But it does not work since it can not recognise '\'.

[opensuse] Beryl and xgl
by Hans van der Merwe 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

I have done a bit of googling but still cant find anyone else with this problem. I have beryl, xgl, working, but slowly, on Intel 945GM (followed instructions on suse and beryl forums) Before I run "gnome-xgl-switch", glxinfo indicates direct rendering: Yes, X nice and fast After "gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl" and X restart I get direct rendering: No, and X is really slow, unusable (before even starting beryl) Beryl performance is ok, not great, but I guess that's because of rending being off. Any ideas ps xorg.conf has got all the settings prescribed by beryl install instructions E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] install tomcat 5.5 with jdk 1.5 from APT on 10.2
by Zoltan Levardy 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

dear All, i am new to the list, and first of all would like to say hello all of you. Trying to get tomcat 5 (or 5.5) installing with APT. The problem is i am unable to decide which APT extra repository to use for tomcat 5.x (+jta, jaf, javamail - these dependencies are broken with default suse installation, mightbe due to jdk1.5 is being used instead of 1.4). my sources.list has the next lines: repomd http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386 update/10.2 repomd http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution 10.2/repo/oss/suse repomd ftp://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories Java:/addon/openSUSE_10.2/ the last one about to have tomcat 5.5 with jdk 1.5, but those RMPS having unknown signature, for example: Unknown signature /var/cache/apt/archives/tomcat55_5.5.17-4.4_noarch.rpm: sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#6b9d6523) Anybody has hints or ideas how to get tomcat5 with jdk 1.5 on my box? (1) how to surpress the digital signature checking? (2) using alternative repository (3) do not use those rpms for any reason many thanks, z -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Any ideas on how to fix it? Perhaps your /etc/localtime was just a copy from a previous timezone package. Suggest you re-run tzselect and/or move it out of the way and then re-try tzselect. ~~~ Changed the name of /etc/localtime to /etc/localtime.old and ran tzselect, however it did not create a new localtime file. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello all, We have been having this problem for a while now...but we really don't have any idea what to do about it. When the system boots to the desktop, I get this error window: "System.NullReferenceException. A null value was found where an object instance was required" Server track trace at:Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Packaging.PackageManager.GetUpdates(0x00000) at Novell.Zenworks.ZmdPackaging.PakageManager.GetUpdates0(0x00000) at Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Packaging.RemotePackageMa" After clicking the CLOSE button on this error screen the Zen update icon in the tray disappears and never returnes. On another systems this error doesn't show up...and the Zen update icon is in the tray but NEVER indicates that there are any updates Any help would be much appriciated.
