[opensuse] USB printer detection fails in Suse 11
by Andreas Kemper 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi, I can't get my printer working (a Samsung SCX4200), which I previously successfully attached to a Suse 10.1 installation, by using the manufacturer's "Unified Linux Driver". In Suse 11 the printer is successfully listed with a "hwinfo --printers" or "yast2 printer" as attached USB device. On the contrary, neither yast/cups, nor the Samsung driver can actually communicate with the printer, so the installation finally fails for obscure reasons. Furthermore, the yast printer set-up has been triggered only once automatically, when connecting it for the first time after installation. After uninstalling the Samsung driver and also reinstalling cups/yast related packages together with browsing related log- and configuration files I really have no idea why the printer communication fails. Maybe someone can help me at least with an explanation how the USB printer autodetection/-configuration should work in detail, to figure out what is broken there? Thanks a lot, Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] [SOLVED] SuSE 11::Thunderbird eats up the CPU
by Martin Mielke 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi all, maybe it's an odd solution but that's what I did to get rid of those Thunderbird hangs... * as a precautionary measure I moved ~/.thunderbird to ~/DOTthunderbird * started Thunderbird from scratch so ~/.thunderbird is recreated * added all my IMAP accounts one by one, even the Gmail ones It works like a charm now... so I guess there must be something dirty/corrupted under the old ~/.thunderbird that was causing the problems. What exactly I can't tell you... but these steps solved my issue.

[opensuse] 11.0 and new behavior of kdesu
by Sunny 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi, on 10.3, after proper configuring of sudo, kdesu used sudo to launch programs as root (i.e. I could use my user's password). In 11.0 this changed back to asking always the root password. How can I get the old behavior? Thanks -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to disable audio capture output on pulseaudio
by Gabriel 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

With esound is possible to disable (ie mute) the audio capture output without mutting the mic. On pulseaudio, if I mute the input device it mute the mic also. Is there another way to get this to work? -- Kind Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] problems updating 10.3 x64 --> 11.0 x64
by Vahe Avedissian 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Folks, I tried updating my 11.3 x64 install to 11.0 x64 and for the first time since 9.x releases, I ran into several problems. I verified the DVD media was correct (md5sum). Here are the problems I ran into: 1. Early into the install it asked me to insert the DVD media. The media was obviously there, otherwise the install would not start. 2. I got an error that it could not remove my nvidia package. On re-try it succeeded. 3. I got an error about installing one or more rpm modules. 4. I'm seen a lot of traffic on naming by-id versus label versus name. I guess with 10.3 opensuse started using name by-id and now with 11.0 I notice the device ordering is changed as well. My system has one IDE (Sata), one SCSI (harware raid), and one dm-raid array which is not properly recognized and appears as a set of IDE drives. With 10.3 or earlier release AT INSTALL the disks are ordered IDE then SCSI. With 11.0 they are ordered SCSI and then IDE. 5. During install you chose the disk to install on by name and not id or label. I chose the correct disk to install on. However, on the second try to update, part of the installation went onto one of the dm-raid drives (screwing it up) even though I still selected the correct root partition to upgrade. Furthermore, I had a separate /usr partition/mount point which did not get mounted and the installed tried to install everything into my root partition which quickly filled up and I had to abort. 6. I ended up doing a completely new re-install from scratch. That went reasonably smooth. However, after rebooting, the disk ordering is the same as that or earlier releases! For example, during installation sda was the SCSI drive and sdb was the IDE. I installed on sda (the SCSI drive) but after installation completed and I rebooted the system showed that it was indeed installed on the SCSI drive but that drive was now appearing as sdb!!! This is most confusing and inconsistant! I wanted to know if anyone else has run into this situation. I fear from this point onward I will always have a problem updating or doing a new install. I know there has been discussion on forcing a disk naming order but unless one knows how the final disk name ording will be in advance it is impossible to know how to set the ordering of disk names so that during and after installation one sees the same names. Any suggestions on solving this are greatly appreciated. Vahe Avedissian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kmail configure crashes on 11.0 x64
by Vahe Avedissian 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Folks, I used kmail up to 10.3 with no problems. Now, I have problems configuring the mail send account for smtp whereby kmail simply hangs for a while and then crashes as I am in the middle of editing my settings. Recieving email and reading it work fine. Is this a known bug? I could not find anything similar by googling. I am using 11.0 x64.

[opensuse] Screwed up big time
by Bob S 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Hello SuSE people, I have done a really dumb thing. I plugged in my new USB hard drive, formatted it ext3 and created 4 partitions on it. Problem was that my 10.3 woulld not boot without it being plugged in. I would have to reboot the machine after I plugged it in to bring the OS up. That was annoying to have it plugged in all of the time and have the drive running uselessly. Here is the stupid part. I went into Yast partitioner and deleted the partitions on the drive thinking I would be able to reconfigure it somehow. Now it boots fine without the drive being plugged in but the drive is no longer found when I do plug it in. I guess I have ruined it. Nothing on it to be seen, Any way to bring this new drive back to life?
