[opensuse] Question about the real time kernel
by Sampsa Riikonen 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Dear List, I am using kernel "2.6.25.16-0.1-default" with 64-bit opensuse 11.0 I installed and booted the real time version of the same kernel (from suse repos), but during boot, lots of weird stack traces were rolling on the screen and eventually my system stuck (after saying "starting SSH daemon"), although I was able to boot it again with ctrl-alt-del. Any way to debug this? Cheers, Sampsa -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] keyboard stops working randomly
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hello List, On my thinkpad t61 (opensuse 11.1, kde 3.5.10, kernel 2.6.27.19-3.2) keyboard stops working absolutely randomly (or it seems so). All of a sudden none of the keys respond, only the mouse + trackpad/touchpad are responding and I have to restart the laptop to get it back to working. Keyboard model is configured from CC and yast as "IBM thinkpad /.../.../t61/..." and when it happens, changing to other model and back and hitting "Apply" does not help. Problem occurs very regularly which becomes quite annoying. I have no idea how can I even track this down, I tried to catch what am I doing exaclty which causes this but it really seems random. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas what might e causign the problem?

[opensuse] Can't locate php5-mhash for 11.1 x86_64
by Pete Connolly 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hi All I'm rebuilding a home server with 64bit opensuse 11.1 and I'm having trouble locating a PHP5 module that I need - php5-mhash. I've found a version for 11.0, but this refuses to install with the version of php5 included with 11.1 (5.2.6). Has this module been removed from 11.1?

[opensuse] Login screen shows remains of session
by Joop Beris 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hello listmates, I have a weird problem with the KDE4 login manager. I am using openSUSE 11.1, with KDE 4.2, but the problem also existed on KDE 4.1. I am running the NVIDIA proprietary driver with a Twinview setup (dual monitors) The problem is that the secondary screen shows left-overs or artefacts from the last running session. They also show up briefly on the primary screen after logging in but before the session is fully loaded. I sometimes also see a brief flash of them before the screen saver shows the "unlock" dialog. What are shown are basically snippets of what was shown on screen during the previous session: bits of a web page, a small part of an image file, an icon, parts of a menu, parts of a screen of game that was running under wine. Some of these left-overs repeat, some don't. It's hard to describe, and I don't know how to provide a screenshot of it. This behavior was not present in openSUSE 11.0, with KDE 4.1, and also not in openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.1. So I am assuming that it has something to do with KDE 4.2. At one point I thought it was due to files in the thumbnail cache (~/.thumbnails). So I cleared the thumbnail cache, but this did not change the problem. Killing the X server at the login screen also doesn't solve the problem. When X restarts, the problem returns. It almost seems as bits of a memory buffer are somehow shown from somewhere, but I have no idea form where. I could not find a bugzilla, but I am not sure I should file one, since I am using the proprietary driver from NVIDIA. (I can test with the open source driver before I do that, obviously) So first I'd like to know if someone has similar experiences, what might be the cause and what might be done. It's not a huge problem for me, since I am pretty much the only one who uses that system. But it might be a problem on a shared computer, since it might show things that the user doesn't want shown... Any ideas, anyone? Regards, Joop -- "When you just want a system that works, you choose Linux; when you want a system that just works, you choose Microsoft."

[opensuse] Dragon Player is mute in SuSE 11.1
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi, people I've recently installed SuSE 11.1 and have just found out that Dragon Player is completely mute. No sound is heard, although it seems to be playing the files. I've tried with several types of files (mp3, ogg, avi, mpg, wmv, etc.) and nothing changes. This files can be correctly played with other applications, such as mplayer. Is there an additional package a should install to get sound the sound working on Dragon Player?

[opensuse] Filelight & Audio Freak-Out
by Randall R Schulz 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi, When Jim Henderson suggested Filelight as a tool to detect aberrent disk usage, I figured I'd check it out, even though at the moment I dont' have any problems such as Kai's. I installed it and ran it and I noticed that it generates a beep for each downward increment of the mouse wheel (but not for upward). So (for the hell of it, which succeeded) I gave the mouse wheel a good long downward spin and the sound system when nuts repeating system beeps without end. I finally got it to stop by opening the KDE Control Center (now called Personal Settings), going to the Sound and Multimedia -> Sound System and clicking the "Test Sound" button. This cancelled the repeating beep and played the test sound. Once.

[opensuse] Can't connect to wireless network

Hi, folks I'm new to OpenSuSE (coming from Fedora) and I can't connect to wireless networks using NetworkManager/KNetworkManager. I can see my wireless network and configure a connection, but KNetworkManager does not even try to connect to it when I click the connection. I mean, KNetworkManager icon in the plasma panel remains as the little globe and does not change to the spinning gear that should appear when it's trying to connect. It works ok for wired network. My wireless card is an intel 3945 and its firmware is installed. Is there anything else I should check? By the way, KNetworkManager didn't ask me to use KWallet to save the password when I created the connection, but the password is saved somewhere. Where? Can't it use KWallet?

[opensuse] Issues with VNC 11.1

[opensuse] knetworkmanager
by Mark Misulich 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi, I am writing this because my wireless is still not working. I was able to get it working today on my 32 bit 11.1 immediately after the 11.1 installation. But later today it stopped working and won't restart now. It is giving the same indications now with the linux native driver as it did with the ndiswrapper installation, that is, it will scan and present all the local wireless networks using the ifup scan button. But I can't connect to the internet when I try to launch my web browser. When I try to use the knetworkmanager, the icon is grayed out and says "Network manager is not running." It doesn't display any wireless networks. It seems like the radio transceiver is working, but for some reason it isn't working with the operating system. Anyone have any idea how this can be fixed?

[opensuse] Mini-laptop suitable for openSuSE

I need to buy a mini-laptop for conference presentations and for travels. The most inexpensive laptops on the market seem to be those with Linux installed. I am wondering if you could share your experience with these laptops when openSuSE is used. thanks Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] "Device X has failed, falling back to device Y"
by Joop Beris 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Listmates, I hope someone can help me with this problem that I am having. I have recently installed openSUSE 11.1 on this machine, and for my desktop, I choose KDE 4.1, which I then upgraded to 4.2. So far I have been very happy with KDE 4.2. It looks better than 4.1 and feels a lot more stable. Under 4.1, I had Plasma crash on me quite often, but nothing of the sort in 4.2. The only problem that I am having is with sound. This system has an Intel 82801G HDA sound card, which uses the ICH7 chipset, if I'm not mistaken. The snd_hda_intel module has been loaded for this soundcard. And it does work, most of the time. However, after being logged in for a while, suddenly I am notified that the audio device HDA Intel IEC958 Digital Audio Output is not working properly and that the system is falling back to the device HDA Intel (VT1708B Analog) device. At this point, my sound stops working. But not for all programs. Movies in Youtube may still have sound, but system sounds (like a dialog popping up) are no longer played. I have checked the output of dmseg and /var/log/messages, but there's nothing in there about sound devices not working. When I look in the Multimedia System Settings, I can see several sound devices listed, for several categories. For notifications, I see the following devices: - HDA Intel (VT1708B Analog) - HDA Intel (VT1708B Digital) - HDA Intel VT1708B Digital (IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output) - Unknown I am assuming that the first three are different output options of my audio hardware. The last one, I have no idea. I don't have another audio device plugged in. I heard there were problems with PulseAudio, so I have removed that from my system, but this has not changed the situation. Anyone care to make an educated guess what's wrong, or has some pointers to put me on the right track? Regards, Joop -- "When you just want a system that works, you choose Linux; when you want a system that just works, you choose Microsoft."

[opensuse] teeny teeny fonts
by Bob S 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hello SuSE people, I am sight impaired. I need decent sized fonts. Running 11.1 with KDE 4.1 Two separate issues with font size. Yast. - Even though I have set the GTK fonts to use my KDE fonts (16 points) it insists on using the small 8 pt. font. What is Yast's problem? Console - The booting screen or when I boot into level 3 for some reason and run an editor like joe or whatever I cannot read the screen because of the small fonts. Can this be changed somehow? 10.3 does not do this. All fonts are readable for me.

I am thinking of trying out ArchLinux. My servers will stay on OpenSUSE, but I feel change is good every now and then (even if its just to confirm that OpenSUSE is the best distro after all).
