by Bogdan Cristea 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hi Just wondering, are there any plans to have an openSUSE version for tablets ? Now that Intel has switched from MeeGo to Tizen and Android seems increasingly popular for embedded systems how obout openSUSE ? Are there any plans to cover this market ? -- Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Doubts on Repository

Listmates, I would know if packages available from Base System: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Base:/System/openSUSE_11.4/ are newer than ones presents into Update and why Base System exists for. Thanks.

I disagree. Especially since you're new, stick to 11.4 for a few months. People have experience with it. You can ask questions and get knowledgeable answers. When 12.1 comes out in a couple weeks, few people will have the answers, and there will be a number of new bugs. As a new user, you definitely don't want to be part of that process. As an example, those of us that run servers typically wait many months before updating to a new release. So I for one won't be putting 12.1 on a server until March or later. The reality is my servers are still on 11.3 and it is now time for me to move them to 11.4 since it has been out for 7 or so months and the initial release bugs have been mostly fixed. I have one server stuck on 10.3 because it relies on a very old version of Ruby on Rails which is not available on newer installs.

In the network manger WiFi configuration, there's a setting called "System connection". What does that do? BTW, I'm running 12.1 beta RC1. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

You should do an ls -l on a directory with files owned by many acccounts, too. That's why it's good practice to use nscd with LDAP authentication. And maybe turn down LDAP logging, after one has confirmed that it works.

I now have a follow up question, though. Cheese and wxCam do not allow any change in audio settings, so on capture video it only does video, and will not capture the audio with it. Is there a better program that will allow simultaneous video and audio capture? I have tried kdenlive, and could not find a video capture setting on it.

[opensuse] webcam video dark, maybe wrong driver?
by George OLson 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hello, I have an A4Tech PK-720G webcam plugged into my USB port. It has a built in microphone. I managed to get skype to pick up the camera microphone input (using pulse audio manager), and the video works to some degree, but it shows a very dark image even when I am in a very well-lighted room. Skype says it is using A4TECH USB2.0 PC CAMERA J(/dev/video0) If I run lsusb, the third line shows the following: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0ac8:c40a Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. Also, the lines related to video when I run lsmod show the following: uvcvideo 70281 0 videodev 81448 1 uvcvideo v4l1_compat 17505 2 uvcvideo,videodev v4l2_compat_ioctl32 10573 1 videodev I don't really know what those indications mean, and I am kind of at a loss as to what to do next. I google searched for a driver that linux can use with this camera and couldn't find anything. How do I find a correct driver for this camera and what do I need to tweak to make it work right?
