Hi . Has anyone found how to STOP the audio being muted on reboot on os11.2 it is getting really silly now I unmute the audio it all works fine (except for skype the update a couple of updates back put pay to that) it is fine till i close the machine down then next time i boot all muted again . Machine is an Compaq Presario v5000 series AMD Turion 64 sound chip ATI thing cant remember the exact model os 11.2 x86_64 1Gb ram 128Mb for video (freakin ATI ) using KDE4.4.3 i think it is but it has been the same since the initial install with a slight pause a while ago where it worked correctly then packed up after another update . I would imagine there is a tick box somewhere but i'll be jiggered if i can find it .

[opensuse] locale xxx.utf8? (SuSE 11.2, 11.1 et al?)
by Linda Walsh 09 May '10

09 May '10

There seems to be a problem in nomemclature. It seems en_US was equated with en_US.utf8. I don't think this is 'ok'. I think en_US has to point to en_US.C. Problem is that many programs look for the utf8 OR, more properly, it's official name "UTF-8", to determine unicode compatibility. If they don't see the suffix (some check for multi, but UTF-8 is the official spelling so they should all work with that if they work at all with utf*8). HOWEVER, setting any of my RC vars in /etc/sysconfig/language to en_US.UTF-8 (or utf8 or utf-8) results in errors from various programs that try to set locale (including the locale program), saying that it doesn't exist. en_US.utf8 doesn't exist? But I can see it under the /usr/lib/locale, directory -- is that not used by locale? Any ideas what's going on? Anyone using en_US.UTF-8 on SuSE 11.1+ and have it working? Thanks -- this has been a long term hassle as I keep having to find 'one-ofs' to solve problems that would not exist if my locale was set correctly..

[opensuse] What file in ~/.config or ~/.kde starts gnome-settings-daemon?
by David C. Rankin 09 May '10

09 May '10

Guys, I ran out of room on / so I deleted /home, enlarged /, then copied everything but ~/{.kde,.config,.gconf,etc...} to force a default rebuild of the base config for kde3 and gnome since I was having a disappearing menu and kcmshell module problem. (in Gnome I was having kde4 help called when you clicked on yelp -- I think that is compiz fault [shutdown in kde w/kwin selected and restart next in gnome...]). The kde3 menus and kcontrol modules are still hosed on x86_64, but the biggest current problem is that gnome-settings-daemon (gsd) is no longer started by default in kde3 which makes all the gtk apps look like hell. I have just set up an alias to call /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon and I have been starting it manually. I have used qtconfig ( which is somewhat worthless without the ability to change the palette in the kcontrol module), but regardless of the settings, gsd is never started with kde is started. In my old config, gnome settings daemon was started at login. Any idea what '/opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/<nameof>.desktop' file I would need to call with kcmshell to access the config that would result in staring gsd at kde login -- again?

by David C. Rankin 08 May '10

08 May '10

Bash gurus, How do I check for an active display in a bash script before calling zenity or the like to request input or provide graphical output? Do I just use the DISPLAY variable? Is there something better for a test. I want some type of test I can use like: if 'TheXTest'; then zenity blahblah else echo "blahblah" fi Any favorites? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
