[opensuse] 11.1 on a thinkpad T500
by jef peeraer 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

installed it yesterday on my brand new thinkpad, and most of the basic stuff seems to be working : tested the wired/wireless connection :ok. can write DVD's, sound is ok, hibernation and sleep : ok , sdcard reader : ok, and last but not least, video graphics, weel that's a special case with this laptop, it includes 2 graphic controller : 1 discrete, the ati hd3650 and am integrated controller , intel mobile GM45 express chipset. i knew i wasn't going to get this switchable graphics thing in order... by default, the installation chooses the intel chipset. which works ok, but doesn't give you the power of the ATI. i changed the bios setting to discrete graphics ( swichable off ). when booted into command line, i could run sax and it installed the correct ATI drivers. but the next reboot set me back to the intel chipset, and indeed the bios was back to switchable graphics enabled ? jef peeraer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] recordMyDesktop: no audio
by Boris Epstein 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hello listmates, I am using gt-recordMyDesktop ( http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/about.php ) to try and record what is going on on my OpenSuSE 11.1 machine. It produces a nice .ogv file missing one thing: audio. It is a silent movie, even if I am playing sound on the machine during the recording. Would anybody know why? How to fix it? Thanks.

[opensuse] getting default mic to work on an OpenSuSE 11.1 machine
by Boris Epstein 20 Sep '09

20 Sep '09

Hello everyone, I've got a bunch of machines running OpenSuSE 11.1 (32-bit and 64-bit) and all of them have one thing in common: the default built-in microphone on them does not pick anything up. Is there a known fix I have missed out on? Any advice much appreciated.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.1 "GNOME_STABLE_2.26" Zypper Priority Settings
by Marco Calistri 20 Sep '09

20 Sep '09

Hello friends, I updated my previous openSUSE 11.1 Gnome 2.24, to latest 2.26.3, by adding the specified repos to zypper, as per openSUSE directions: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/2.26 Currently both GNOME_STABLE_2.26 as GNOME_Backports, have priority set to 19, in order to take vantage against updates repo, which is set to 20 as per default. Wonder if: 1- have I to maintain the higher priority to GNOME 2.26 repos over all the others, or can I switch them down to 99? 2- have I to use "zypper dup" whenever I wish to upgrade my GNOME, or it is necessary only the first time? BR, -- opensuse 11.1 - Linux 2.6.27.29-0.1-default x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 - GeForce Go 6150 Gnome 2.26.3

[opensuse] kvpnc not setting up interface/routes to remote network
by Rodney Baker 20 Sep '09

20 Sep '09

Hi all. Is there anyone on the list with experience using vpnc/kvpnc to connect to a cisco vpn? I have the .pcf file and have imported it successfully into kvpnc and it connects OK to the remote network; all authorisation etc. seems OK but kvpnc never sets up any routes to the remote network. I've tried both "Replace Defaut Route" and "Add Additional Routes" settings with no success. Running /sbin/ifconfig shows no interfaces set up for the vpn tunnel. Running ip link shows an interface tun0 with status DOWN and no ip address. The output in the log window is as follows: debug: Preserving network environment debug: vpnc: /usr/sbin/vpnc info: Gateway hostname (remote host) resolved to "<remote_ip>". debug: vpnc version (major): "0" debug: vpnc version (minor): "5" debug: vpnc version (subminor): "2" debug: Default interface: "eth0". debug: IP address of default interface: "192.168.1.2". debug: VpncScript: /root/.kde4/share/apps/kvpnc/vpnc-script.<profile_name> debug: Support for TUN/TAP found (compiled into kernel or kernel module already loaded). debug: Using NAT-T mode "natt". debug: Using UDP. info: Trying to connect to server "<remote_server" (<remote_ip>) with user "<remote user>" and IPSec ID "<IPsec ID>"... debug: Setting DNS_UPDATE "NO". debug: Vpnc has started debug: "vpnc" started. debug: vpnc version (major): "0" debug: vpnc version (minor): "5" debug: vpnc version (subminor): "2" success: [vpnc] Connection established. success: Successful connected to server: "<remote_server>", user: "<remote_user>", IPSec ID: "<IPsec ID>" at Sun Sep 20 21:29:47 2009 [Cisco (free)] debug: [vpnc] Tunnel IP: debug: setFirewallAfterConnectScript: /root/.kde4/share/apps/kvpnc/firewall_after_connect_script.<profile_name> debug: "SetFirewallAfterConnectScript" started. debug: "SetFirewallAfterConnectScript" finished. debug: Setting additional network routes... debug: [route err] SIOCADDRT: Network is down debug: [route err] Unknown host debug: [route err] debug: [route err] debug: Use gateway address (<remote_ip>) for connection status check. debug: "ping_check.sh" started. I've replaced security-related items with generic labels for obvious reasons. I'd appreciate any tips on why this doesn't want to work. BTW, I've also tried getting the Cisco vpn client going under 11.2 RC7 but it will not compile. That might be a thread for another time...
