[opensuse] no sound 11.0
by rschwedler 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Help I can't figure out my sound on opensuse 11.0. I have an audigy4 card. I can play mp3's in amarok but nothing coming through the speakers. If I open krecord it is recording the sound. I hear a pop when i start the computer and the speaker volume on. I went into kmix and turned all volumes up and made sure it wasn't muted but still no sound from speakers. And the speakers work. I know I'm missing something but what? I only have opensuse 11.0 on the system.

I am very much ignorant about linux and openSuse, just installed it on a separate computer, (just in case I burn the house - (windows-xp)-down First about modems, I have an Agere LT Winmodem and an external US Robotics 56K USB fax model modem. Either one don't seem to respond. Question Which one would I need to buy for the beast.

[opensuse] Network config and connecting to devices on different routers
by Clayton 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Having a bit of a problem figuring out how to configure some computers, the network and the routers they are connected to. I am still at the conceptual stage here.. just trying to get my mind around how to configure this setup. I have a setup that works something like this..... Router_1 has Computer_1, Computer_2, and Router_2 connected to it. Router_2 has a Computer_3, Computer_4, and Printer_1 (network printer) connected to it. Computer_3 and Computer_4 have the Linux drivers for the printer installed and are configured properly to see the printer as a network device on Router_2. Now the problem... I want to be able to print from Computer_1 and Computer_2 to Printer_1. How (or what) do I tell the computers on Router_1 to connect to the printer on the other router? I know the IP for the printer on Router_2, but... that IP is not on the same subnet. Not sure how to proceed here. Any suggestions or hints?

I just reinstalled 10.3 yesterday and everything was working fine. Updated a few packages, restarted, popped in the 10.3 install disc and now I get this dialog box: Cannot mount volume. Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy. Details hal-storage-mount-removable-no <-- (action, result) Any ideas on what this is all about and how to fix it?

[opensuse] Rankin's Review of 11.0 Sever Install
by David C. Rankin 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Devs, You guys did a great job getting 11.0 together and it is installed and functioning as a great file server as we speak. The only observation is that it seemed so much effort was directed toward KDE 4 being included, that not enough resources were garnered to make sure the core of the distro received the same level of attention as well. Aside from the "boot installed system" item, the remaining are just nits, etc. On to the install into a fairly harsh install environment. The box has a MSI KM2M motherboard, Athlon 2400, 2G of DDR/266 memory, (2) 80G ata drives that contain wXP, w98, and a 60G install of openSuSE 10.3. It also has (2) additional 500G SATA drives attached to a Promise 4 port SATA -> PCI card. The 500G drives are set up in Raid 1 using software raid creating a 20G / array and a 454G /home array. Partitioning and mount point assignment was a snap. The formatting was very timely, no outrageous amount of time spend looking at the screen. I did a highly customized software install given what the duties of this server will be. DNS,DHCP w/dyn updates to DNS, mySQL, pptpd and all Apache, php, and perl with a few sprinkles of coding libraries thrown for fun. Wanting to get work out without having to put an extra-ordinary amount in, I chose KDE 3.5 and compiz. The fglrx 4.973 worked straight from the packages at the ATI rpm site. xorg.conf was copied from the 10.3 install without any problems. The system install went like a breeze, fast too. All packages and drivers were correctly installed and all that was required was a quick follow-up on hardware configuration. The reboot was unremarkable. Grub apparently put the pieces together correctly on this install. I guess having windows there staring at grub during the install routine gives it a big target to shoot at and get stage-one put in the right place. On first boot, first order of business was a clean kill of beagle with "rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep beagle | sed -e '/^lib/d') $(rpm -qa | grep kerry) && rm -r ~/.beagle", done.. Mounting the 10.3 drive gave easy access to samba, apache, dhcpd, named and dovecot configs, so samba is happily providing shares and CIFS is behaving nicely. After getting the initial "suse Udater" updates (7 in all), it was time to use Yast to bring all packages from BuildService up to current. So I left the box downloading and went back to a laptop to finish some cleanup on the install vi ssh. To my dismay, "ssh box", did nothing, ssh IP.to.box. did nothing as well? "ping box" worked fine. A diff of sshd_config from the 10.3 partition confirmed that there were no meaningful differences there. Shutting down SuSEFirewall2 corrected the first snafu, but left me wonder why port 22 is closed by default? I haven't investigated it yet to confirm, but that looked like what happened. The update of all packages for "packages that were newer" showed 300M of new files to be installed. No problems there either. A basic run-through of chkconfig took only about 4 changes -- not bad at all. An update is currently running to see how our packman frieds are doing. I don't expect any issues there either. Bottom line: for integrating 11.0 into a box with full raid 1, where 3 other operating systems remained installed (W98, Wxp, openSuSE 10.3) and now 11.0 says this was a great install. Now had I had a grub problem and a need to "boot boot installed system" things would have been more frustrating, but I had no need on this install. Install was notably faster than 10.3. I don't have exact comparison times, but this install from "boot w/CD" to "done with security updates" took about 1:25. I have also found that either a dvd install or nfs install (both without any additional on-line repositories) speeds things up a lot if you are doing individual software package selection. Dependency checking with on-line files slows the process down otherwise. Job well done. Now you guys selecting kde4, ..... -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I get this message after SuSE 11.0 has started the boot process. At times the boot process completes and at others it hangs just after starting KDM, login manager for KDE. On the syslog, there is a request to send the acpi dump to kernel.org, which I have done. Can anyone offer any advice on this?

[opensuse] Fw: Sporadic X Server crash on logout
by Jonas de Buhr 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hello all, We've got a problem with SuSE-10.2. A user keeps complaining about X not being started every now and then in the morning. It turned out that there seems to be a logout - problem of some kind, /var/log/messages shows something like Jun 13 17:01:37 COMPUTERNAME kdm[4674]: X server for display :1 terminated unexpectedly Jun 13 17:01:37 COMPUTERNAME kdm[4674]: Unable to fire up local display :1; disabling. Jun 13 17:01:37 COMPUTERNAME gconfd (username-14159): Signal 15 erhalten, ordungsgemÃ¤Ães Herunterfahren Jun 13 17:01:37 COMPUTERNAME gconfd (username-14159): Beenden where "username" is the replacement of the user that keeps complaining. He uses KDE, and he assures that all he does at the times in question is to logout from KDE. Other users have the gconfd process runing as well, but none of them has the same problem, furthermore, none of the other users has the "Got Signal 15" - gconfd - message in his /var/log/messages. To summarize the problem: - The user works on SuSE 10.2 with a 2.6.18.8-0.9-default - Kernel, the system is up-to-date- - He logs out from KDE in the evening - Every now and then the X Server crashes and leaves the above messages in /var/log/messages - Back to office next morning the user calls us, we log on to his computer and easily restart his X with rckdm restart. Any Ideas? The computer runs with fglrx drivers and a ATI PCI Express card. We have several of those computers up and running with SuSE 10.2, but the problem is unique.

[opensuse] Scout released
by Pavol Rusnak 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hello all! The first public version of Scout was just released. It is a simple tool which allows user to look for (not yet installed) packages using simple queries (e.g. which autoconf macros does the package contain, which Java classes are present inside or what binaries does the package provide). Its functionality is extendable by plugins, so there will be more options in the future. You can read more about scout in my introductory blogpost[1] and the release blogpost[2].

[opensuse] HP 9250f networking help needed
by Mike 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

I've just installed SuSE 10.3 64 bit on a new HP 9250f There is some trouble with the networking. The built in wireless is not found and the haupage TV Card is not found. The Realtek 8111 tries to load the 8169 driver but doesn't get past that. I tried a USB linksys wireless-b which works on several of my others as a back door to get updates and it doesn't seem to work either. This is my first time with the 64 bit version and this machine. so I'm not sure if it might be an issue with different drivers on the 64 bit than 32, older drivers on the disk (downloaded this week), or hardware trouble. I found some old mention of a trouble with 8111 card and Vista turning it off, but Vista no longer boots on the machine. I still have a connected machine so I can copy files via usb. I also have a d-link pci card I can add if there is no hope for the realtek 8111 -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
