-------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Donald D Henson <wepin-list(a)wepin.com> Hi Don, I have the same or very similar card in my Toshiba laptop. I cannot hear any sound until both the PCM and master are at or above 85. Try turning up your volume and then adjust down until you can't hear it any more. Then you should find the volume you machine requires. HTH. -- Keith Boykin You are what you think - so always think positively!

[opensuse] Any 10.3 updates yet?
by Simon Roberts 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Hi all, I've been playing with 10.3 for a month or so now, and have noticed that after the initial install, I haven't been offered any updates. The little green gecko head with the spiral arrows round it in the menu-bar thingy just says "your system is up to date" any time I hover over it. Is this true? It seems odd that there would be zero updates in the last month or more, given that this is a relatively new release. Of course, if it's so, then that's great, but I thought I should check in case there's something misconfigured resulting in no checks being made. (My system is gnome-only, having been installed from the CD, rather than from the DVD). Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

[opensuse] Differences between a file server and a shared folder
by Bogdan Cristea 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

I would like to have an expert opinion about the differences between a file server and a shared folder. My particular situation: I have a Windows server with one folder shared which also does a safety back-up to a second hard-disk each time someone copyies something into the shared folder. However I don't see much difference with respect to a simple shared folder (in Windows or Linux). Perhaps someone could explain what are the advantages (if any) of using a file server. thanks -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Moving the bootloader
by Bob S 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Hello SuSE people, Running 10.3 and Win98 on separate hard drives - dual boot. When I installed 10.3 on the newly added hard drive I just let Grub install itself where it wanted to. i assume to the MBR of the first drive (Windoze) Don't know how to tell for sure. Anyway, that first drive is failing and I want to replace the drive. windoze is going and 11.0 will go on it. In th meantime I want to move the bootloader to the second drive where 10.3 is running. Can I just let Yast do that for me and trust I will be able to boot again?
