[opensuse] No sound in wine
by Ilya Chernykh 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hi! Today something strange happened: no sound in Wine! What should I do? Winecfg says audio test failed. The sound works well in other apps. I cannot say what exactly led to this but I made many changes to my system such as removing and installing Yast2 as well as removing kdelibs4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Samsung SCX-4x26 problem solved
by Jim Sabatke 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

I wrote a while back about my troubles with the Samsung SCX-4x26 not working properly. If anyone else has problems, there is a new driver at: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCX-4826FN/XAA Both printing and scanning work after the automatic setup. I haven't tried the FAX functionality yet. There is still an annoying "USB Device Not Available" pop up, but I've been ignoring it and everything works fine ... so far.

[opensuse] old kernel lib directories
by Patrick Shanahan 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Is there *any* reason to maintain directories, most are empty and some still contain nvidia drivers and vbox***.ko files, from removed kernels, ie: /lib/modules/2.6.37-rc6-default /lib/modules/2.6.36-rc4-18-default and quite a few others. I discovered these directories while searching for something else :^). If there is no reason to maintain these directories, why aren't they removed by zypper. I try the newer kernels and when I don't find a problem, remove the previous, maintaining only the stock updated kernel and one other well performing kernel. Presently on my x86_64 11.2 system I have: kernel-default-2.6.31.14-2.1.x86_64 kernel-default-2.6.36-94.1.x86_64 kernel-default-2.6.37-35.1.x86_64 plus the matching base, source and devel packages for building nvidia drivers. jfyi, I keep a text file containing the kernel names w/o version numbers and: export K=2.6.3x-xx.1.x86_64 zypper -v rm `for i in `\cat kernel.txt\`;do echo $i$K;done` when I notice a new kernel, I reverse zypper, zypper -v in ..... -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

This driver isn't in the Kernel, you need to compile it) and the Phillips SAA7130. There's also the Conexant MPEG chips in the WinTV PVR-150 and PVR-500 cards but I couldnt tell you if the MPEG hardware encoding actually works. I have used it in Linux ages ago as a TV tuner.

[opensuse] What is the proper entry for /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1?
by David C. Rankin 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Guys, What is the proper entry for 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts? I have seen discussion that 127.0.0.2 is deprecated so that leaves a problem with dnsdomainname if you remove the 127.0.0.2 entry and leave the 127.0.0.1 entry as: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost yourRealHostname In this situation, dnsdomainname resolves to localdomain: 15:39 phoenix:~> dnsdomainname localdomain Setting the entry as: 127.0.0.1 localhost.youReadDomainName.com localhost yourRealHostname fixes the return of dnsdomainname, but does not having localdomain cause problems as well? What say the gurus? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] luckyBackup problem
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hope to find an answer on a problem with luckyBackup. Like the program and have instructed to backup the contents every night from my home on a usb stick.via cron. That works like a charm. Yesterday I forgot to put the stick in and this morning I found that luckyBackup had made a new directory on / filling that partition up to 100%. Is there a method to avoid such things from happening? Something like: if there is no USB stick inserted, do not backup. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.37-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.5.95 (4.6 RC2) 14:10pm up 3:18, 2 users, load average: 0.53, 0.31, 0.27 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] rpmorphan package from Packman
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Have dowloaded this package and found that from the 471 rpm packages I have 87 orpans. those are all lib's and looking into the information provided in the Gui I am at a loss if I need them and what the harm would be to remove them. If I would remove those 87 lib packages from which I cannot guss if they would be needed by one of the programms I am using, would a zypper verify or zypper install-new-recommends repair the missing package? Found on the web that version 1.8.1 is out. This openSUSE package is version 1.6. Is it still safe to use it?
