[opensuse] Problem with booting after a motherboard change
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

After some technical problems with my Pentium III mainboard I ran into a booting problem after a mainboard change. The system, 11.2 KDE4.4 worked without hitch before the change, would not work after the exchange. As my DVD/CDrom also did not wanted to read the 11.2 install DVD I had no other choice as to install a new openSUSE via network install. Choose 11.3 RC1 as that version already seem quit stable. Got it working but I am still not able to repair my 11.2. The information very early after the boot of grub is more or less, could not find /dev/sdb3 fall back at part 3 waiting..... not found cannot set terminal process group, inappropiate ioctl for device. (this is what I was able to jot down) I have checked the partition (ext4) with fsck, looked at the partition with Yast but was not able to see anything out of the ordinary. Can somebody give me a solution? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 RC 1 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.34-9-default LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3) 12:18pm up 14:18, 2 users, load average: 0.66, 0.65, 0.33 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenOffice 3.2 Hangs on Save As (on 11.2)
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 27 Jun '10

27 Jun '10

Hi, folks, I have a problem with OOo 3.2 on SuSE 11.2. Simply put, it always hangs on "Save As" command. I have upgraded to 3.2.1.4 from 11.2 SuSE repository, deleted OOo prefs invisible dir inside user home directory (as was suggested on forums), even deleted Java and Gtk prefs. Nothing helped. OOo 3.2 previously worked fine on 11.1. Anyone can suggest what to do next? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Vahe Avedissian 27 Jun '10

27 Jun '10

Folks, After a routine software update a couple of weeks ago, sound decided to stop working on my openSuSE 11.2 x86_64 machine. If I delete the sound card configuration, and reconfigure it works fine, but after the next reboot, I must repeast the process again. sound card is CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller driver is snd-intel8x0 Anyone else having a similar problem? And suggested quick fixes for this? Thanks, Vahe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
