[opensuse] TV card must reinstalled after reboot
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Running 11.1 on this machine with a Prolink TV card. Whenever I reboot or return from an init 3 the TV card is not working. I have to delete the card in Yast and reinstall it after which it functions as expected. There is some info about nodga but a start with -nodga does not give me a functioning TV card. I am using xawtv. Assume there must be an easier way or even a method by which I may use the card after rebooting. -- Powered by openSUSE 11.1 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.27.37-0.1-default KDE: 4.3.3 (KDE 4.3.3) "release 182" 10:44pm up 1 day 0:11, 3 users, load average: 1.07, 0.95, 1.62 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Correct permissions (or "what happened to") /var/spool/samba?
by Rodney Baker 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Hi listmates. I recently started having problems printing via my laptop, which prints by default to a printer shared via a samba share on my desktop. For some reason, it was unable to create a print job. I did some digging via the cups web config page and couldn't find any clues, nor could I via the Yast2 Printer Config tool. Then, as a last resort, I checked my samba config. The printer share was configured to point at /var/spool/samba, but when I went to /var/spool there was no /var/spool/samba. Now, something must have changed somewhere between 11.0 and 11.2 because this used to work. Recreating /var/spool/samba corrected the problem and my (Windows XP) laptop now prints happily again. The question is, though (apart from how /var/spool/samba went awol in the first place), what are the correct ownership, group and permissions for /var/spool/samba? Would someone with a similar setup please check (ls -l /var/spool) and let me know? Thanks in adavance, Rodney. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Xorg failure when getting out of suspend 2 disk

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-ID: <alpine.LSU.2.00.0911291228401.1440(a)nimrodel.valinor> Hi, I have a new machine (with oS 11.2) that I want to hibernate. The problem is that the X locks completely, keyboard nonfunctional, black screen. If I restore on text mode, perfect; the moment I type ctrl-alt-f7, dead. My suspicion is the open NV driver. I would like to try retarting the driver automatically (or even manually), but no idea how. I can ssh into the machine from outside, when locked.

I have noticed that the X process looks first for the nouveau driver, and tried to install it... but alas, the nouveau driver is no longer in 11.2 oss repo. Has it changed name? Has it been discarded for some reason? There are several wiki pages, but so far, I'm out of good ideas. I think the trick would be to tell the system to unload/reload the driver, but how? http: //en.opensuse.org/Power_Management_-_Suspend http: //en.opensuse.org/NVidia_Suspend_HOWTO http: //en.opensuse.org/Suspend_to_RAM http: //en.opensuse.org/Suspend_to_disk_tips http: //en.opensuse.org/Suspend_Troubleshooting - -- Cheers, Carlos E.R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAksSX0oACgkQtTMYHG2NR9UUDQCfdsUd8RhGEOLSR+KkUBXqp2SD v0MAnjAP4qKWKUhdQT2rvrYKePke7Nxq =KR9D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DNS vs KDE4
by eddie 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

I've just used yast to set up a dns server on my computer. I can do ping and nslookups from the commandline and I have set up a windows xp virtual machine (using virtualbox) which also has no problem accessing the internet. However, I find that I cannot use konqueror, the weather report fails and the update notifier also fails with an unknown host error. It seems as if KDE4 is not able to use the local DNS or anything else once the local DNS is active. If I enter the ip address in konqueror then it finds the site without a problem. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution? Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] problem with adsl
by Felde Norbert 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Hi, I configured my adsl connection, but it dous not work after reboot. If I try "ifup dsl0" it prints that "interface dsl0 is up" but "ifstatus dsl0" still prints "interface dsl0 is not available" and I am not connected to the internet. To make it working again I have to start yast lan, I do not change anything and press cancel. After that I can connect with ifup. It is very strange for me and I do not know what I should look for. I listed kernel modules and processes before and after "repairing" my dsl but there is no difference, just a joydev module was loaded. Has somebody an idea? thanks, fenor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No scrip-fu in Gimp 2.6
by Anton Aylward 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

I'm missing something. (yes, its a pun!0 I haven't used gimp since I converted from Mandriva to opsenSuse at 11.0, and I'm now I'm at 11.1 and gimp-2.6 I bring up gimp and there's no script-fu on the main menu bar. Where I do find it, there aren't all the scripts under any menu or submenu. I do see them by name in the script directory, but they don't appear in any menu. I've checked the configuration and it does point to the directory with the scripts (why is it /usr/share/gimp/2.0 when we're running 2.6 ?) -- The problem with comforting illusions is that someone else ends up footing the bill for your comfort. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
