[opensuse] Sound under VMWare
by Peter Bradley 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

I have VMWare Server 1.0.7 running on openSUSE 10.3 on an AMD64 x 2 box, hosting WinXP SP 3. Everything works fine except for the microphone (the speakers work OK). For test purposes I've used a small WinXP partition and have configured the microphone there with no problems - so the hardware is OK. I don't know if the microphone is working under openSUSE since I don't really know how to test it. One thing I have noticed is that the default device is described as Realtek AC97 Audio on the Windows installation, but as Creative SoundBlaster PCI in the virtual installation. YaST2 describes the sound card as IXP SB400 AC'97. Does anyone have any ideas? I've a feeling that this might be the wrong place to ask, but after the success in getting USB to work I thought I'd try my luck. If anyone has a suggestion as to a better place to post, I'll take the advice. Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] MPLayer Plugin for Firefox
by Kai Ponte 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

I have 10.3/32-bit with KDE 3.5 and Firefox 3.03 with the QuickTime Plug-in 7.4.5 running mplayerplug-in-qt.so / mplayerplug-in 3.55. Lately, I've noticed that - instead of embedded videos for the quicktime trailers - that a separate mplayer window is opening with some funky tab on teh left side. Here's what I see now: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2008/20081018_mplayer_seperate_window.png Here's what I used to see: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/linux_dell600m_penguins.jpg That was taken on 9.3 or 10.0 with Firefox 2.x sometime in 2005, but has been the same until a few weeks back.

okay. So I added the text plugin and that fixed the max/min/close buttons. Now my only question is yet, how to get the sphere look when switching desktop #'s other manually initiating the cube. Like if I click on square 3 I want to to cube into it not just fade into it. -- Michael S.

I did as you reccomended and deleted the compiz directory. That helped at least fix my setup (I borked it kinda...) I don't have fusion -icon and it's not in the repos that I could see. Ufortunately I won't be able to work on this again really until the weekend. I figured what I would do is uninstall compiz again and then reinstall it again after I have deleted the compiz directory. I don't know if this would be of any use, but my compiz config files are ---------------------- mikesd ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig $ cat config [kde4_session] backend = ini profile = [general] profile = integration = true -------------------------- mikesd ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig $ cat Default.ini [core] as_active_plugins = core;dbus;resize;glx;regex;decoration;wm;minimize;workarounds;png;zoom;wobbly;place;fade;move;cube;3d;switcher;rotate;scale;cubeaddon; s0_outputs = 1024x768+0+0; [cubeaddon] s0_sphere_aspect = 0.850900 s0_deformation = 2 [cube] as_next_slide_key = Disabled -------------------------- I hope you don't mind if I pester you a little while I work on this over the weekend...or anyone on the list that reads this.

[opensuse] Connection Question
by Kai Ponte 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

I have an odd question. I don't really *need* this but I wonder if it can be done. I often telecommute to work. Particularly in the evenings, I work at home. I can either load a VM - such as - Vista or work directly. When I load the VM, I run the VPN client (Cisco with a RSA key FOB) from the VM. My "main" network is not touched and openSUSE is still on my "home" network. When I load the VPN client (Cisco VPN Client 4.8.00) from openSUSE I connect the computer entirely to my corporate network. Now the question - every once in a while, I decide I need to print something locally. I currently share a printer with my wife's computer (Windows 2000 Pro) over SMB. Is there any way I can run on the vpn with my corporate network yet attach locally to my home connection? Do I need to create a proxy or something? -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com government is a process which utilizes 45.5% gut reaction, 45.5% laws and statutes and 1% logic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Cannot install mplayer-1.0rc2 from packman due to libdirectfb-1.1.so.0
by Ben Kevan 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

Just thought I'd let the list know that I cannot install Mplayer because no libdirectfb-1.1.so.0 resolvable. I checked and all I see is libdirectfb-1.2.so.0 .. I can try just installing and making a sym link to 1.2, but I hope this can be fixed at the root of the problem before the release. BTW This is 11.1 Beta 3, and Packman 11.1 repository.

[opensuse] Basic Compositing Workstation Linux
by sm 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

Hello, I just installed the SUSE 11.0 from the download DVD, and now updates..... I was trying to download BLENDER from the DVD, but then it tells me I need a bunch of there programs... I am confused...How come it isn't as easy as installing a PACKAGE? I have tried to download .deb files only to find that they decompress on the desktop and do nothing... why all these extra steps? is this supposed to be better than OSX or WINDOWS? Well, safer than Windows I hope... I am scared now to install all these gizmos and gadgets.....other programs.....in the UPDATE list... WHICH ones do I really need ? and which ones are for the BASIC BARE BONES COMPOSITING WORKSTATION? I wish to run GRAPHICS COMPOSITING for MOTION PICTURES On this....and I have heard COMBUSTION (AutoDesk) runs on LINUX, as do other programs such as MAYA... My goal for LINUX is to get the BASE system...OSX is heavy...and WINDOWS is unbearable.... Can anyone out there lend a super tip to a FILMMAKER just wanting to learn the BASIC LINUX rules for these INSTALLS ? which do you need vs. what is an option... thanks so much... any other COMPOSITORS would be honored by my gratitude! If you were to scoop me up in this LINUX HEAVEN LIMBO.. thanks! singleton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
