[opensuse] Sound gone, almost
by Jan Karjalainen 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

My openSUSE 11.1 (KDE) has lost the ability play sounds. Mp3's and wav's don't work in VLC, MPlayer, Amarok 2 or Songbird. Strangely, playing the test sound in the Yast Sound card configurator works fine. I've tried "rcalsasound restart", but it didn't help. I also tried toggling on and off the "Enable PulseAudio Support" in sound card settings, but it made no difference. I don't know where to look next. /Jan K. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Yast don`t like me
by Gunnar Haaland 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

I have installed Opensuse 11.1 again. But it seems that Yast is not working as he use to. It is impossible to download update, install new program e.t.c I will install Thunderbird, use the one clik, this is the address that Yast is using: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1/ and the error is: Nedlastingsfeil (curl) for 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1/repodata/re…': Error code: Error: couldn't connect to host. I can not connect to any archives either, only installed packages are visible. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Holding printer jobs in the printer itself
by Roger Oberholtzer 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Where I work, we have gigantic all-in-on printers like a full sized Xerox machine. They are shared over the network. I have been trying to sort out how to print CD labels on these, as I need to put in the label for just my job. I am trying to figure out how to do this on Linux. I am guessing that I would use the Hold Job technique, as one does in Windows. Then, the printer holds the job, with a message I entered when I held the job. In KDE's print manager, I see a 'Hold' item in the Jobs menu. In programs like InkScape, I can hold the print job. However, this means that it is held on my computer waiting to be released and sent to the physical printer. This is not what is needed. It needs to print to the printer, telling the printer to hold the job. Otherwise I cannot control when the printer itself prints the job, and thus what paper the job will be printed on. And that is what is needed. Does this make sense? Is there a Linux way to do this? The printers do support this, and (I hate writing this) it is available in Windows. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] Geforce 8500 GT
by Kaare Rasmussen 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

I have a card with this chip. Problem with this card is that if anything is connected to the DVI output, it will only use that and not send anything to the SVGA port. I seem to be able to - with a lot of trouble - get it to switch between the two ports in X, but it ought to be easy to have output on any one of them, or both at the same time. Anyone knows about this? -- Med venlig hilsen Kaare Rasmussen, Jasonic Jasonic Telefon: +45 3816 2582 Nordre Fasanvej 12 2000 Frederiksberg Email: kaare(a)jasonic.dk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Lost grub's graphical boot menu
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 11 Mar '09

Hi folks, My boot menu does not appear in graphic mode anymore. Now it is only a black and white text mode menu. I have the following packages installed: gfxboot-4.1.19-2.1 gfxboot-branding-upstream-4.1.19-2.1 And there is a file named "message" in /boot. Is there anything else I should check?
