[opensuse] Soundcard gone after reboot
by Martin Jungowski 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Weird problem - as of lately my sound card has started disappearing after rebooting the computer. I have to open YaST2, load the sound module, change anything (literally anything, it doesn't matter what I change as long as I change something to make YaST2 apply the "new" config), click ok and wait for YaST2 to apply the changes. Then my sound card returns and I can listen to music. Unfortunately, since my last reboot was more than 40 days ago I don't know what I did and changed since the last time it worked. I remember though that I didn't have that problem the last time I rebooted. System: AMD Athlon II X4 600e Acer Aspire M5200 base system - 780G chipsatz - SB700 south bridge - Onboard Azalia soundcard openSUSE 11.2 Any ideas where I should start looking?

[opensuse] Still no icons in YaST2
by Martin Jungowski 31 Jan '10

I'll repost this because I still have not been able to solve it: > For some reason unknown to me we have three different openSUSE 11.2 > servers that fail to display icons in YaST2 (see attachment). All other > openSUSE 11.2 don't have this problem. > > I have already reinstalled yast2-theme-openSUSE, which contains all the > icons, and have checked: every single icon exists and can be found in > /usr/share/YaST2/theme/openSUSE/icons but it seems like YaST2 somehow > doesn't want to use them. Is there a config file somewhere that tells > YaST2 which icons to use? > This is what I get: http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=bildschirmfoto-yast2-kqj8k.png Any suggestions?

[opensuse] how to install rpm from former suse version, preferably using yast, on suse 11.1
by Julien Michielsen 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

I was a happy sane-user, and could use it to make scans with my epson perfection 2580. This went fine with xsane-0.995-79.1.i586.rpm (from suse 11.0), but the present rpm (xsane-0.995-131) does not recognize my scanner. There might be a trick around it, but I'm happy with the old xsane-0.995-79, and I rather continue working with the old rpm than finding a new trick to obtain the same result. My question to you: What is the smartest way to install the xsane-rpm which resides in the suse-11.0 directory residing under /mnt/dvd/suse/i586 (more precisely) /mnt/dvd/suse/i586/xsane-0.995-79.1.i586.rpm Could you suggest a working way to install this working old horse?

[opensuse] Autoyast adding repository
by christian schmitt 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Hallo, I am using autoyast to install all my workstations (at work). This will work fine at all. But now I need to Install the Nvidia driver with the autoyast. I try to add the nvidia repository to the autoyast.xml, but I can't find the right place for this. Is it possible anyway? Or is there a better way to do this? Thanks a lot Christian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Changing themes crashes KDE
by Ken Schneider - openSUSE 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

openSUSE 11.2 i386 KDE 4.3.95 For a long time, I think since I started using KDE 4.x all border colors are _only_ shades of gray. No matter what theme I choose I end up with a gray color scheme. All of the icons and buttons have color to them. And the main problem is when changing the theme in the control center KDE crashes _every_ time as soon as I click on "apply". Is there any quick way to get the desktop back besides logout/login? -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] compiz in kde3 fixed - missing entry in kdesktoprc was to blame
by David C. Rankin 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Listmates, Just a quick note. My problems with compiz in kde3 are fixed (after the kde 4.3.95 upgrade/downgrade). The problem was a missing entry for: [General] Enabled=true Adding the entry turning on the desktop icons fixed the problems. I should have caught this earlier. I do recall being bitten by that in the 0.5.6 days, but I must be getting old.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
