[opensuse] X crash
by primm 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Bringing the pen of my Aiptek Hyperpen 12000U graphic tablet near the pad crashes X requiring an on-off reboot. The driver is recognised and loaded fine and I have a udev rule to point to the correct device. Bits of /etc/xorg.conf I've changed look like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "pen" Driver "aiptek" Option "Device" "/dev/input/aiptek" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "Mode" "absolute" Option "Cursor" "stylus" Option "Mode" "absolute" Option "PressCurve" "0,5,95,100" Option "zMin" "0" Option "zMax" "512" Option "ZThreshold" "0" Option "USB" "on" Option "KeepShape" "on" Option "debuglevel" "0" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" screen "Default Screen" Inputdevice "Generic Keyboard" Inputdevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer" InputDevice "pen" EndSection The tablet works just by plugging it in without any changes to xorg.conf but only as a mouse.There is no pressure and no absolute coordinates. I have 11.0 updated yesterday. Can anyone help? Thanks L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0 on Dell Precision 490: Reboot problems
by Bernd Nies 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Hi, We noticed that some of our Dell Precision 490 workstations do not power cycle with openSUSE 11.0. When typing "reboot" it halts but does not poweroff or reboot. One has to manually press the power button. The 490 workstations had BIOS A06 installed, but an update to A08 did not help. Other 490 workstations that worked fine previously had BIOS A00. We're preparing a migration from Suse 10.1 to openSUSE 11.0 and during the Autyast installation the system should boot 4 times. Are there any known issues about this or does someone have have a clue? I didn't find something in the BIOS settings. Bye Bernd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Booting Problem After Drive Replacement
by Jerry Houston 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Background: I've filled up the 1.0 TB drive on my server with archived DVDs, and needed more space. So I bought a 1.5 TB drive, installed it in an external enclosure, formatted it, copied all the contents of the 1.0 TB drive to it, and now want to replace the old drive in my openSuSE 11.0 server with the new one. What I've done: I figured I might have problems if the old drive were still configured as part of the system, so I stopped sharing it, and used the YaST partitioner module to dismount both it and the external drive. Then I shut down the system. The problem: When I try to restart the system, it goes through the POST, then starts the boot loader which tells me, "Please wait ...". Eventually it stops with "Error 25." Does anyone have an idea what "Error 25" means, and what I should try next? Thanks in advance! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I tried several google searches and a couple of searches of the Open Suse forum. I discovered that there are lots of word written on this topic but I couldn't find anything that looks like my error message. Would some kind soul help me understand the problem/solution here? I'd appreciate it. -- Don Henson

To be quite honest, there is not much common sense in that, Mark. Hi Per, thanks for your reply to my post, including the part that I didn't copy here. I opened this thread so I could learn something, so if I have made an incorrect statement in what I have written above it would be kind of you to explain where I have gone wrong.

[opensuse] KDE4 multirow task manager prob?
by Clayton 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Is it just me or is the new multirow task manager misbehaving a bit (KDE4.1.71)? Observations/problems: - When there is one application running, the "button" in the task manager spans the entire width of the available space in the task manager - If I set the Maximum Rows to 1, it still insists on 2 rows unless I open the Task Manager Settings.. then to drops back to 1 row. Nothing major.. just annoying.. was wondering if it's just me or has anyone else bumped into this? I did some searching, but didn't find much.. just loads of requests for this feature to be added.

[opensuse] Amarok XINE Engine Problem
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Hi! I have continuous problem with Amarok (packman build on SuSE 11.0/KDE 3.5). Using yuyap enfine everything is fine, but yuyap do not plays m4A lossless files. Switching to xine engine considerable lowers output volume no matter of Amarok and system sound settings. Anyone knows how to solve this problem, and if its possible to use another engine with Amarok, i.e. Mplayer? Maybe there is another music player for linux which has the same volume normalization plugin as one for Amarok (Replaigain) ?

But did you actually call your ISP for help with the problem? You may need to be persistent to get above the bottom-feeders who likely know nothing about such things. John Perry No, I haven't done that. I started having this problem in Dubai on this trip, and it has continued in Singapore and here where I am at in Japan at this moment. I knew by common sense that it had something to do with hackers who commonly use international domiciles as their base for hacking. I just wondered if there was an easy way around this to keep using Thunderbird. What I do is to go to the website of my ISP, log in, and then send mail out from the website. It just isn't as convenient as thunderbird, so I was trying to figure a way around this. If I call the ISP I will do it when I get back from the business trip I am on.
