If I play any mp3's in Amarok, i cannot hear any sound in Firefox until I completely close Amarok. if I play a video in youtube or anything in Firefox, I have to completely shut it down and restart Amarok to get sound. in /var/log/messages I get May 27 18:21:47 zeus pulseaudio[3363]: alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy May 27 18:22:07 zeus pulseaudio[3363]: alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy May 27 18:22:07 zeus pulseaudio[3363]: alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy May 27 18:30:04 zeus pulseaudio[3363]: alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy it's starting to get annoying restarting FF or Amarok all the time. Especially w/ so many tabs open. -- Michael S.

[opensuse] [URGENT] Assistance Requested in Looking for Dr Francis T. Seow, Harvard Law School Research Fellow
by Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hi, First, I would like to apologize for the out-of-topic post. I will keep this very short. Does anybody know Dr. Francis T. Seow, the former Solicitor-General from the Republic of Singapore? I want to contact him but can't seem to find his email address or telephone number on the internet. Could you help me? Do you also know how I can contact all the justices of the Judicial Committee of the UK Privy Council and all the Lords of the UK House of Lords? According to the UK Parliament website, it says that many Peers do not have public email addresses. Thank you very much. Yours sincerely, Mr. Teo En Ming Hanyu Pinyin Name: Zhang Enming Facebook: Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Mobile Phone (Starhub Pre-paid): +65-8369-2618 Singapore Citizen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ssh on 11.2 - NOT
by Dave Howorth 26 May '10

26 May '10

I've just installed 11.2 on a machine and can't get an ssh connection. When I installed, there was an option for firewall and below that something about ssh. I selected to disable the firewall and whatever option about ssh disappeared. Now the machine is running, I see 'connection refused' when I try to connect. ps shows no sshd process. Neither the gnome control panel nor yast has an entry for ssh that I have found, nor does the xinetd list. There appears to be no help button on the yast screen, and pressing F1 does nothing. I'll keep poking around, but can anybody tell me how to start sshd and how to find help for yast/configuration on 11.2?

[opensuse] Nvidia: cloning notebook desktop to external monitor
by Malte Gell 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hello, I have a notebook and sometimes want to connect it to my bigger, external monitor. My goal is to completely clone the desktop on the notebook to the external monitor. The notebook does 1600x900 and the external monitor does 1680x1050. So far I had no luck. Once, when I started an app, the app itself was seen on the notebook and the desktop on the external screen, or vice versa..... I just want an *exact clone*. I want to see my desktop at 1600x900 on the notebook and when I plug in the external monitor i want to see my desktop at 1680x1050. Below is xorg.conf created with the nvidia tool under KDE, but it does not what i want. Who uses such a setup and can show me their xorg.conf?

Guys, I wanted to grab the latest kernel for 11.0 before EOL, but when I checked, somebody has already removed the 11.0 repository from kernel/HEAD. What gives?

by Ravi Shukla 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hello mates, I recently switched to linux and to be specific openSUSE :-) . I am just curious about the cool features openSUSE has (I switched to it because of the features) . So I want to know , is there some feature like a really cool login system.Like we see in movies.The one I am talking about is - when you login there is voice saying "Welcome , would you please login" after you are done it says "Thank you sir" . Please dont consider this childish :-) . It would definetly attarct some more people towards openSUSE like me. Waiting to hear from you all soon.
