In the Capture Card Setup section, I am selecting for Card type: MPEG-2 encoder card (PVR-x50, PVR-500) This fails to fill in anything in the field for Video device: So I guessed and tried to fill it in with /dev/video (also tried /dev/video0, /dev/video16, /dev/video24, /dev/video32, and /dev/video48 just for the heck of it... though I have no idea what these other video devices represent, I do not have a webcam or any other video sources on this particular system) All resulted the the Probed info" field saying "Failed to open" and with the Default input: field saying "Could not open '/dev/video_' to probe its inputs. So my guess/understanding of this is that mythtv-setup is failing to find the video device for the Hauppauge card... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Color me stupid :( Need slusb
by Simon Roberts 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Well, I win this year's prize for being an idiot. I went looking for an external modem, so I could get past having a bunch of WinModems in my cupboard and make progress on setting up a simple fax server. I found one for $17 on craigslist, did a quick search to discover that somebody somewhere was actually using this under linux, and bought it. Weeeeelllllll, It turns out that it's another breed of soft modem, and although it seems to be recognized by my system (OS 10.0) the output from hwinfo says I need to "modprobe slusb" to get it running. But there ain't no slusb available, and I can't even find out what package that would be part of. I tried the softmodem stuff, but that didn't change anything. Any offers, or should I just tell the world I don't deal with FAX any more!? Cheers, Simple Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

I answered your question in my other reply. I wasn't laughing in anyone's face, and I would appreciate it if you would take that childish accusation back and appologise. I saw someone making a claim on this list (not being able to set different wallpapers). You should never take such claims for granted, but you should always try to simulate the problem. I tried it myself, but it didn't fail for me, and I reported that back to the list. That's all I did, in the spirit of cooperation. -- Amedee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I get two or three of these messages a month. Should I be concerned? How about the bounced messages? Do they get resent, or should I figure out how to look into the archives to see them? And how are the messages identified, that is, how do I use the number to find them?

[opensuse] X fails to load in XEN under openSUSE 11.1
by Adam Jimerson 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

I asked this in the forums but I didn't get a reply so I figured I would ask here. When I boot into XEN X fails to load on the screen where X usually is all I get is a blinking cursor. My processor is a AMD Turion 64 x2 and in the BIOS virtualization is enabled. The graphics card is a nivdia card and I do have the proprietary drivers installed. I don't know if this is caused by an incorrect setup, I installed XEN during the install of openSUSE and according to the YaST module XEN is ready to use, or if it is a bug.

[opensuse] Latest Compiz and 11.1 64-bit
by Robin Klitscher 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

I've just applied the latest (as of today) compiz and associated drops from X11:XGL. They work well; thanks. A question, though. Two things in the change logs got my attention. There are references to fixes for NOMAD support or patches; and to "Review and merge changes from X11:Compiz". As nothing more than an ordinary user who has had no great problem with what comes out of the X11:XGL repository but who has had the well-advertised difficulties with what's been in X11:Compiz, I'm not sure what those change-log entries mean. (Truth be known I've never really understood the difference between X11:XGL and X11:Compiz, except that for me the first has worked and the second hasn't.) But does all this mean that X11:XGL and X11:Compiz are converging? And/or that remote desktop features are now in both? Or what? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? If someone could explain this to me in words of one syllable I'd be much obliged.

[opensuse] Task Schedulers
by Donald D Henson 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Anybody know what happened to Kcron, a gui font end for crontab? A google search found references to Kcron, linux-scheduler, gnome-scheduler, and even MS Windows Task Scheduler. None of them , except Windows, lead to a source for any of the guis. A pointer to any such gui will be appreciated. -- Don Henson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
