[opensuse] Suspend to Disk in 10.2
by Christoph Bartoschek 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi, I have just upgraded to opensuse 10.2 and have a regression regarding Suspend to Disk on my T42 thinkpad. With opensuse 10.1 everything worked fine. Now I have the following problems: 1. Suspend to disk does not synchronize with kde. After a resume I do not have to enter a password. The old version provided this feature. 2. The madwifi driver does not work after a resume. This was not the case with opensuse 10.1. Is there a way to get the old behaviour? Or to get both features running again?

[opensuse] Unable to Install OpenSUSE10.2
by arun murali 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi, I wanted to try my hands on the SUSE 10.2 as my friends reported it quite stable. I downloaded the latest x64 version of the SUSE and it does not load yast. The system crashes after showing loading yast. My system Hardware is Processor : Core2Duo(4400) MotherBoard : Intel 965 Memory : 1GB. Is there any particular problem with Installing Open SUSE on this hardware? I checked MD5Sum after downloading and it seems to match with the one given in the site.

[opensuse] Automated CD Ripping
by David McMillan 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

I'd like to set up a script on my 10.2 box to automatically rip a CD whenever the drive is closed, and auto-eject the CD when the process completes or hits an error. Anyone know of a good set of resources that could help a complete novice achieve this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Cannot hear any sound
by Brandon Carl 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hey, I posted this about a week or so ago, and got no response, so I'll try again. I have a sound card built in to my motherboard, and for some reason I cannot get it to play mp3 files. I downloaded the correct driver for it, from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=23&PFi… and I used the installer script they provided and it seemed to work fine. But when I try to start amarok 1.4 to try and play a file, I get an error saying "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers." When I try to do a "cat tst>/dev/audio" or "cat tst>/dev/dsp", with "tst" just being a text file, I get an error: "bash: /dev/dsp: No such device" and "bash: /dev/audio: No such device". I am running openSUSE 10.2 on the KDE gui. Also, when I go into "hardware>sound" in Yast, it shows the device as "not configured," but when I do a "quick automatic setup" it says: "An error occurred during the installation of 'VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller'. The kernel module snd-via82xx for sound support could not be loaded. The can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters." Does that mean I have to recompile the kernel? -Brandon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] mouse pointer jumping arround
by John R. Sowden 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

suse 9.3. all of a sudden, my usb mouse stopped working. it stopped when I swapped a suse 8.2/dos box with a vista box on my 2 channel kvm switch. I only found 2 ways to modify the mouse: yast to choose a model type and port, and the kde control to do a few items that are not of interest. I am able to get the ball mouse working thru or not thru the kvm switch-it's the same: as I move the mouse it jumps, like it is not tracking the speed or dots pet inch as I move the mouse. But, when I cycle the computer power, again the mouse does not work. 2 Q: 1: how do I get my usb optical mouse working? 2: how do I tweak the mouse settings so the ps2/ball mouse works smoothly? tia, -- John R.

[opensuse] $HOME NFS-mounted
by Rui Pedro Mendes Salgueiro 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Sorry for the other message. I meant to erase the In-Reply-To header, I thought I had done it, but I forgot :( Trying again: Hello. In our network we have the user $HOMEs mounted via NFS. This has been working ok for many years (the servers have changed over time, of course). This year, when we upgraded our server from Suse 9.1 to 10.1 things got very slow, mostly the KDE login. (note: the hardware didn't change and the problem is solved if I boot with the old version.) I suspect the problem is something to do with locks, but I have been unable to confirm it. I wonder if someone else had the same or similar problem and what they ---------------------------------------------------------------------- did about it. ------------- My kernel is: Linux 2.6.16.27-0.9-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 13 09:35:18 UTC 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The filesystems are ext3 and the disks are 4 SATA drives with RAID-1 /dev/md0 /home/xxx/disco1 ext3 rw,data=ordered,usrquota 0 0 /dev/md1 /home/xxx/disco2 ext3 rw,data=ordered,usrquota 0 0 Thanks in advance -- rps -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Apache 2.2 auth and multiple providers
by Marlier, Ian 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hey, all -- Running apache 2.2 on a fully updated and patched opensuse 10.2 system. I'm trying to get apache auth set up, and I'd like to use multiple providers (ldap and flat file). Basically, the authentication logic should look kind of like this: If ((user is a valid LDAP user && user is a member of ldap group apacheAccess) || (user is a valid user in the flat file)) then allow access I'm having a devil of a time getting this to work, trying to follow the apache docs. Anyone have pointers, suggestions, experience, advice, etc, that they might be able to offer? Thanks! - Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Stuck with Beryl
by Bob Williams 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

In an experimental mood, I installed Beryl according to the instructions at http://en.opensuse.org/Beryl It went OK, except that all my windows lost their title bars. Having fiddled around a bit with the display settings, I decided to back out. So I reverted to the KDE window manager, uninstalled all the beryl packages using YaST, that is beryl-core beryl-manager beryl-plugins beryl-settings emerald emerald-themes aquamarine leaving compiz and xgl. Unfortunately, nothing's changed :( My desktops are still on the faces of a rotating cube, my windows have no title bars, and my theme has reverted to KDE-standard. This behaviour survives logging out/in and even rebooting. I've even deleted ~/.beryl Any suggestions, please? -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.3, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
