[opensuse] Recording BBC radio streams from Firefox
by michael norman 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

For some years I have been archiving BBC radio programmes using SUSE firefox and Audacity . This worked fine up until 10.3 (I skipped 11.0). I am aware of the issues with RealPlayer for 11.1 but I have been been able to use the RealPlayer generic rpm to access the programmes on both a 32bit and 64 bit install. The problem I find that although I can listen to both live and listen again on the listen again sites in firefox audacity will not record the stream. Using Konquerer it will do so.. I am using Firefox 3.0.6-1-x86_x86_64 I'd be grateful for advice on how to fix this.

[opensuse] Ongoing FM radio prob
by John Bennett 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi. Hoping that someone may be able to help me here - have been trying to get this going for 'quite a while'! Have posted in several forums, and generally haven't had any responses... Would have thought others would be having similar probs... Trying to get the FM radio section of a Kworld/Tevion DVBT-220RF hybrid card working. The DVB section works fine, and is great in, for example, Kaffeine (but can't see what devices Kafeine uses.. /dev/video1, but what else?) Picked up automatically, and never a prob, but... trying to also get the FM section working. Have tried kradio, gnomeradio and the basic ncurses radio, and it works fine, to a point. The stations are scanned, locks on and you can see from signal strength indicators that all is merry, but, no sound.... As this is an saa713x based PC card, with no audio out connectors on the card, I am assuming (dangerous!) that there should be a 'device' (ie /dev/xxx) setup for the audio out...? As far as I can tell, I have 2 radios (radio & radio0), video (video1) and vbi (vbi & vbi0) pointing at this card.... So, basically this is where my basic knowledge stops... Can anyone suggest what I can try to get the audio out of this device?

[opensuse] Kmail1.11.0, message list
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

After having moved completely from 10.2 to 11.1 via a short period working with 11.0 I have found a problem with kmail for which I found no solution. In the message list all the messages are contained under their sender. E.g. in my "suse" folder I find a lot of names of the message originators (kind of sub-folders) without any indication about the subject. This email for example will be sorted under my name and any answer will be found nicely threaded under my name. I can make the contents visible by pressing Ctrl . (dot) but that is not very usable with the many emails coming in from the list. I want to get rid of this sub-folder under the normal folders but found nowhere an indication how to do that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grub Bootloader reboot options
by John Bennett 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Have been using 11.1 for a while now, and have a query re Grub. As I am multibooting Suse/Vista/Ubuntu (95% suse :-) ), with previous versions of grub, used to get the option if you went to Shutdown/Reboot and held the mouse button for a few seconds, got the option of selecting what OS I wanted to reboot to. Since installing (clean install), 11.1, I no longer get this option. Anyone know how to get this back?

[opensuse] ctrl-alt-backspace in 10.3 vs. 11.1
by Henrik Schmiediche 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hello, I realize the ctrl-alt-backspace behavior changed in 11.0 where you need to hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice to kill the X server. In 10.3 when I ctrl-alt-backspace the X-server/KDM is killed and restarted, but in 11.1 when I hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice the X server/kdm just drops into console mode no X-server/kdm restart. Does anyone know how to get the old behavior back (X-server/kdm restart on ctrl-alt-backspace)? Where is this configured?

[opensuse] Error downloading new theme for plasma...
by Mukul Singh 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi, When I try to download a new theme, I get the following error : "Could not load data providers". I think it is something to do with the company firewall blocking the access. Can anyone please suggest a way to overcome this issue? Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help - tmp full
by Kai Ponte 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

On my son's laptop, I went to reboot this morning. (I was trying to see why I couldn't connect via ssh.) On boot, I got a message that /tmp was full and that the desktop manager would not start. What do I do? It won't let me login. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.filesite.org XCJNaWNyb3NvZnQgaXNuXCd0IGV2aWwsIHRo ZXkganVzdCBtYWtlIHJlYWxseSBjcmFwcHkg b3BlcmF0aW5nIHN5c3RlbXMuXCIgLSBMaW51 cyBUb3J2YWxkcw== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
