[opensuse] Kaffeine does not want to play mp3 files for me...
by Marc Chamberlin 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

I have upgraded my media center to SuSE11.2, KDE4.4.1 and am having a number of problems getting various applications to work. So in this thread I would like to get help with Kaffeine which is being stubborn and not willing to play mp3 files. (I do have Amarok and mPlayer both playing mp3 files but have other issues with them as well..) I have done a lot of internet research as well as searching through forums, and I found what appeared to be a pretty good writeup on how to check if everything is installed ok. - http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/400119-check-your-multim… Though it is a bit dated, I figured it would be a good starting point. So I followed the steps and include the output below. Seems ok to my untrained eyes.. Have others gotten Kaffeine working under KDE4.4.1 and if so what were the magic incantations? Much appreciate any and all offers of help... Marc.. Output from the 10 steps of checking your multimedia problems...

Confess that I manipulated into Yast-->Sound a bit, in order to see if my webcam is behaving as a sound card, but I am far to find the correct settings and how to be sure that it is really being seen as a separate sound card by the system. How did you proceed to make work your webcam? Which webcam model is it? Which Linux Distro / kernel are you using with this webcam BTW in kmix I see USB Video Camera window separate settings and I am able to select the available options and adjust the input gain.

[opensuse] Can I use one of the virtualizers?
by John E. Perry 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

I have a laptop (hpdv6000) that's too old to have the Intel vt extensions, so I can't use Xen to virtualize directly my installed Windows XP. But I'd really like to get away from the dual-boot situation so I can use both suse and xp easily. My problem is that virtualbox and vmware, from what I've read, require that I install xp under the virtualizer so it can modify the xp code to run under it. But my laptop shipped with a "restore" disk, which starts restoration by wiping the hard drive and copying xp onto the single-partition disk. I don't have an installable copy of xp for my laptop. Can anyone suggest a way around this problem? John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] On 11.2 - display size will not stick
by Duaine Hechler 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

I recently installed 11.2 and by default the display was configured for 1280x1024. I can go into Personal Settings - Configure Desktop and change it to 1024 x 768. But every time X restarts it changes back. I tried running and changing it in - sax2 - but then the font size don't change - stays small. Unless I'm daffy - could be - where do I change it to get it to stick ?

[opensuse] Troubles getting TV to work, need help!
by Marc Chamberlin 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

I have upgraded my media center to SuSE11.2, KDE4.4.1 and am having a number of problems getting various applications to work. (And yes I realize I may be out on the bleeding edge but I upgraded so as to have a better control over the new desktop/activities/plasmoids that are being hatched) So in this thread I would like to get help with getting my Hauppauge PVR-350 TV card back up and working. It has worked in past versions of SuSE, and still does under Windoz XP. Ultimately my goal will be to get MythTV up and running but I am trying to get there by taking small incremental steps... Since the driver for this card is an IVTV I figured a good first step would be to get things working and the TV signal from my satellite settop box displayed in one of the dedicated TV apps. I used YaST to configure the TV card, and it detected the card just fine, and even when I did a channel scan it correctly reported that the only two channels (60 and 62 from a DishNetwork box) had a valid signal. So far so good... But neither tvtime, xawtv or mythTV will display a thing. tvtime reports an error - ivtv - invalid argument, cannot open capture device /dev/video0 I then tried to follow the ivtv.install instructions on how to test (rather hairy and I got lost) but tried the following command - cat /dev/video0 > my.mpg cntl-C after a few seconds mplayer my.mpg (got a few errors about missing lirc files, which I have not addressed yet. Figured I would set up lirc later...) Playing my.mpg Seek failed Exiting (End of file) So.... Where do I go from here? I suspect I probably am missing something simple or that I discovered in a past incarnation... Thanks in advance for any and all offers of help!
