[opensuse] Audio problem.
by Erik Jakobsen 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Hi. If I play a MP3 file, I cannot control the sound by the Master in Kmix's output. The sound is controled by the PCM output. I think it's a matter of a miss with the driver/mixer configuration. But how can I determine that, and how can I solve it ?. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Opensuse doesn't wait long enough for the disks to spin up before trying to configure raid
by Mike Myers 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Ok, well I had a chance to try out the longer MDADM_DEVICE_TIMEOUT delay parameter today (we had a power failure in the neighborhood that the UPS couldn't outlast). It didn't make any difference. The first time coming up, it tried to assemble the array before all the devices had been detected and created, and failed. I manually entered the shell, and did a reboot, and the 2nd time every device was detected rapidly (presumably because the disks were already spun-up and online) and then it came up just fine. I noted that after the initial md assembly attempted failed during the first attempt at startup, the EH process of discovering the disks (and presumably spinning them up) from the port multipliers was still going on. Since a device is not created until the disk is spun up, the udev events did not appear to get triggered in such a way as for the mdadm to realize it had to wait. When boot.md was hit, only the base 6 drives attached to the onboard SATA ports and one of the PMP's and it's associated drives were online and detected. The 2nd and 3 PMP's and their associated disks did not complete their EH process (and then begin to create the devices for the actual disks) until after md had tried to assemble the disks. So I must be looking for a different paramter to add a delay other than the md delays specified in /etc/sysconfig/mdadm. Any ideas? I have cc'd the linux-raid list on this as well.

Once the disk identifies itself on the bus, a udev event causes the device node to get created. Does it get created? What exactly is the error message when boot.lvm fails to assemble the logical volumes? boot.md will wait 60 seconds for all udev events to get processed. Would it help to increase that (in /etc/sysconfig/mdadm, the value is MDADM_DEVICE_TIMEOUT)? Otherwise, you have to let us know exactly where in the chain things fail Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Fwd: mozilla flashplayer plugin broken
by Sampsa Riikonen 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Hello Listmates, I sent this e-mail earlier but it went unnoticed. Has anyone else had problems with the adobe flashplayer plugin 9.0.124.0 for linux x86_64 ? Mine is not working. :( I totally agree.. multimedia in 11.0 / 64-bit is not FG. Cheers, Sampsa ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: mozilla flashplayer plugin broken Date: Friday 29 August 2008 From: Sampsa Riikonen <sampsa.riikonen(a)iki.fi> To: "opensuse+help" <opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org> Dear List, Have anyone else noticed the following problem with suse 11, 64-bit while watching flash videos from, say, youtube (happens with other webpages too..)? The flashplayer (mozilla/firefox plugin) just shows a blank screen (i.e. the rectangle where the video should appear is just white/pink, nothing happens). Then when I am trying to access the flashplayer options, i.e. clicking with right mouse button on the blank screen, nothing happens either.. This seems to happen quite randomly.. a video I could see yesterday, I cannot access today. My flashplayer version is 9.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0 Bluetooth network connection
by Rui Santos 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a bluetooth network connection by using PAN profile. openSUSE 11.0 installed on my laptop and created a pan0 network adapter. How can I use this adapter to connect to a Bluetooth Network Access Point ? I already managed to connect to the Internet by using rfcomm devices and a mobile phone, but this method is expensive. I have a dsl connection that I can share with a bluetooth dongle that has openSUSE 10.3 installed. pand is already running on the NAP machine but, it seems I'm missing some kind of configuration, maybe on both ends... Can anyone point me in the right direction on how can I do this ( a link, how-to, advices, etc... )?

[opensuse] Transparent Archive (TAR or Zip) Access for Linux?
by Randall R Schulz 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Hi, Does anyone know if there's a Linux counterpart to the Windows ability to treat Zip files as if they're just directories, transparently deriving directory information and automatically extracting their contents on demand? For what I'd like to be able to do, a KDE I/O slave will not suffice, it has to be system-wide and transparent so arbitrary scripts and applications can access it. Thanks in advance for any pointers anyone has. Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] nvidia openoffice kde4
by lynn 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Can anyone help me stabilising openoffice with kde4? The problem seems to be the nvidia driver as I cannot reproduce the error on Intel nor ATI based clients. I have nvidia 6100 with the opensuse 11.0 nvidia drivers updated last week. On opening any openoffice application, the screen becomes unstable. I have to switch to: show dashboard>rt click>lock widgets>open office window>unlock widgets to regain stability. I have removed the 11.0 openoffice opensuse rpms and replaced them with official openoffice 2.4.1 rpms from openoffice.org but without success. Could this be an nfs issue? Does anyone else run a lan where clients run openoffice? Ni idea dónde va ahora.
