[opensuse] Sound error in MPlayer
by Stan Goodman 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

I have a WMV file that I have run on MPlayer. The video is displayed as it should be, but there is an audio error, as follows: ***** Error <05> (AO OSS) audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy ***** MPlayer runs DVDs (the only other use I have made of MPlayer) properly, including audio. What is this error message telling me? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Updated updates
by Manne Merak 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

It seems that the official update repo is updated almost every day. I see the filelist is just over 10MB at the moment, so every time I update my repos it needs to download this file first. Now this is probably not an issue for all those with fast connections at home, but it can be a problem for slower connections. Is there something in the pipeline for streamlining this update-of-filelist process? What does Ubuntu(deb) do? it seems updating the repos takes a couple of seconds (only download diffs? or what) Manne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Finally got got my Microdia webcam working on 10.3
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Just want to inform the list that I was able to get my obscure webcam working. Still with some glitches like "RtApiAlsa: overrun detected" and an image that is still not optimal. Has certainly something todo with my missing memory (right now 128M) and running KDE but it is really an aha moment. Used gstreamer factory. Wonder how good 11.0 will be. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Q: How did it get that way in the first place? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I want to limit the users who can use su when logging in via ssh. After changing the group ownership to group 'wheel' and adding the appropriate users to the wheel group, I noticed the rw permissions changed on /bin/su. Unfortunately, my tests show that even with certain users in the wheel group, anyone can su to root. (Please, I know all about who should and should not get the root password. In a small company exec's don't always follow best practices. This is my way to fix that.) I do want to restrict who can su to root. Using the 'wheel' group, how can this be accomplished? Many thanks. ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] video card with tvout
by Istvan Gabor 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Hello list users: I would like to get a video card with tvout capability. Earlier I had an older ATI Radeon VE/7000 with VESA tvout. This worked but the quality was not too good and could be used for tvout only from console mode and as root. I also tried NVIDIA FX 5400 but when tvout was enabled (ie tv set connected) the card disabled the console mode (ALT+CTRL +F1 - ALT+CTRL+F6) which I did not like. And I could not configure it so that both TV and my CRT monitor would give a view at the same time with their correct resolutions. My question is if today's NVIDIA cards do still disable console windows? If yes is there any card that does not? Is it possible to configure so that both the monitor and the tv set would show the same and, if required, different screens?
