[opensuse] Soundblaster 24 live!
by Bob Ewart 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

I have a Sound Blaster 24 Live! board on a older Dell machine. It works in Windoze and Kubuntu, but not in openSUSE 10.2 or 10.3 alpha 6. It used to work on older SuSE releases. In 10.2 YAST says it's there and configured. KMix comes up with a little red x on the icon and the mixer window shows nothing. In 10.3 alpha 6, YAST says it's there and configured. KMix comes up normally and the mixer window shows all the sliders. Still no sound. lsmod shows that the ca0106 module is loaded. I've been trying to figure out how kubuntu and suse configure the sound system, but no luck so far. Any help would be appreciated. -- Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

RE: [opensuse] Re: upgrading Apache (Suse 10.0)
by James D. Parra 21 Jul '07

In order to avoid breaking stuff you should do the following. add this repositories: http://software.opensuse.org/download/Apache/SUSE_Linux_10.0/ http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/php/server_apache_SuSE_Linux_1 0.0/ the remove your old PHP installation **completely** ( in case you are using the version included in 10.0 of course) then reinstall apache2-mod_php5 apache2-prefork, the needed PHP modules... ( you may need to upgrade more stuff depending what other software in your system uses libapr* ) ~~~~ Thank you Cristian for the info. The install went great, however I am getting the following error when starting apache; # rcapache2 status Checking for httpd2: unused testserver:~ # rcapache2 start Starting httpd2 (prefork) (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork: 1 failed How can I fix this?

[opensuse] Was someone able to install SAGEM FAST 800 (E4 firmware) modem (-router)?
by Giorgos 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Hi! :-) Was someone able to install SAGEM FAST 800 modem (-router), with the latest firmware (E4)? Seems like previous firmware versions (E1-2-3), was linux combatible, but the latest E4 version, has broken linux combatibility (no matter, what distribution you are using). I have this, from my ISP provider. I couldn't install it. Maybe a good idea, is to buy a new one (not windows specific). Greets!

[opensuse] problem on reboot - no sound....
by Clayton 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Ok, this is a problem I've had before and I have never resolved it. I'm using openSUSE10.2 with all the usual updates that most of us pull from Guru, Packman etc. Sound hardware is SBlaster Live 5.1, nVidia 7600, AMD 64 X2 processor. I rarely reboot, but happened to do a restart today. On restart, sound was not working. I started YaST and the sound card appeared to be recognized, but it was configured incorrectly. Almost as if it was crossed up with another sound driver (worth noting I have a webcam and a Logitech USB headset, both of which show up as sound devices). If I delete the existing sound card in YaST, I immediately loose my desktop background and all desktop icons (the desktop goes black). I can add back the sound card using the default quick setup, and immediately sound starts working again... the desktop is still broken (no icons ect.) To "fix" the Desktop I have to restart X (log out of KDE and back in again). I can easily duplicate the problem... it happens on every reboot (loose the sound card, and when I add the sound card back in I loose the desktop). It seems to make no difference if my webcam and USB headset are plugged in at boot or not... the problem still persists. I have read through my messages, warn, and Xorg logs, and there are no error messages (that I can see). Nothing to indicate why my sound card is broken on restart, or why when I remove the sound card using YaST, I loose my Desktop icons and background. How are these even remotely related? Does anyone have any ideas here? C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Making my system beep at completed runlevel?
by Rikard Johnels 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Hi all. I have a "headless black box" in a closet that i fiddle around with quite a lot, and its a bit annoying not knowing when it has rebooted properly and is ready for service. I think it was the "Smoothwall" firewall that beeped me when it botted up and was running. But i never got the hang of how. I did a google on "how to make beeps at startup", and the onlything i came up with is the command "beep". But if i run it nothing happens??? No sound, nada. All i want is the machine to make a few beeps as it is finnished entering runlevel 3 (My default RL for that one) There is no soundcard in it, so running esd, alsa or anything else is out of the question. -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j(a)rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

[opensuse] Browser question
by James Hatridge 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Hi all, In the past few weeks (since Vista came out, if that adds anything) I've seen an odd thing on my browsers. I use mostly SeaMonkey and Konqueror. On many web sites where the !"§$%& and öäüß etc are I see only a black diamond with a question mark in it. Any ideas why this is and how to fix it?

[opensuse] Squid 2.6 transparent configuration on opensuse10.2
by edwin 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Hi all, I have a proxy server and also running as firewall. It uses opensuse 10.2 with Squid-2.6-STABLE6 and susefirewall2. I think I have problem with the squid installation. Client cannot access an FTP server using Firefox unless it specified completely the address of proxy server. Client also cannot access an ftp site using shell. For accessing http there is no problem, client can access the site without filling the proxy address. I know that there are some differences in setting transparent proxy in Squid-2.6. I check in squid-cache.org and in other site that the setting is: http_port 8080 transparent always_direct allow all other thing that i think important for accessing passive FTP are: ftp_list_width 32 ftp_passive on ftp_sanitycheck on ftp_telnet_protocol on I also set in SuSEfirewall2 to redirect an internal access to port 80 using port 8080 in my proxy server, something like: FW_REDIRECT="192.168.0.0/24,0/0,tcp,80,8080" I try several changes to check that it redirect all the http access and it works. But it doesn't work on redirecting ftp request. I try FW_REDIRECT="192.168.0.0/24,0/0,tcp,21,21" it doesn't work FW_REDIRECT="192.168.0.0/24,0/0,tcp,21,8080" it doesn't work It doesn't happen before when I use Squid-2.5. Anyone here have the same problem? thanks in advance edwin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox tab focus stops working
by Chris Worley 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

I've been using both OpenSuSE 10.2 and firefox 2.x successfully for some time now, and just recently ran into a strange problem: Soon (sometimes very quickly) after launching firefox, left-clicking the tabs does not bring focus to that tab's window. I can right-click on the tab and select the sub-menu option (i.e. close tab, reload tab), I can click the "x" on the tab and close the tab, I can get focus to the tab's window using the menu on the right-hand side of the tabs... I just can't left-click on the tab to bring the tab's window to focus. There are a few other anomalies that happen at this time too... like gmail (and other but not all pages) won't load/reload, the URL's won't autocomplete, "find" works sporadically. No other app has this problem. It seemed to occur after a recent 10.2 auto-update. So far, I've: 1) Gone through all the standard diagnostics at: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_%28Firefox%29 2) Created a new user from "scratch" ... it happens to them too... it also happens to other users on the system. 3) Downgraded to older versions of both the 2 and 1.5 Firefox series... the problem effects all versions. These were the static versions from the mozilla web site. 4) The Dynamic library firefox version upgraded by OpenSuSE auto-upgrade does the same. 5) When this problem occurs, if I exit all the tabs (without exiting firefox), then start building tabs again, the problem persists. 6) I've run chkrootkit to see if someone's playing with my mind... no cracks. 7) Switched to opera, that works.

[opensuse] konqueror browser
by Gavin Chester 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

I know this is a shot in the dark for you all, but I am at a loss completely ... No matter what settings I try I can't get konqueror to connect to the web. No problems with any other browser or transfer process, just konqueror. I've checked proxy settings (none needed), I've checked it's not set for working offline (duh!), I've checked ... , but all I get is "An error occurred while loading http://www.xxx.com: Could not connect to host http://www.xxx.com" I am running the opensuse latest kde desktop and latest version of konqueror from opensuse repos on opensuse 10.2. I have another machine with opensuse 10.1 and have never had problems.
