[opensuse] 11.4 VLC, audio channel dropping
by A.S. 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

openSUSE 11.4, x64 VLC 1.1.7 Gnome desktop When playing video, the audio will cut out entirely, "ALSA plug-in [vlc]" disappears from the PulseAudio Volume Control Playback tab. Disabling/Enabling the audio track seems to restore audio until it dies again. By "dies", I mean video continues to play, just with no audio. I did not experience this issue with 11.3 Thank you, Adam -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi there, I did upgrad a 11.3 box to 11.4. Unfortunately it has become very sluggish. To tab from process to process takes a seccond or more. where could I start to improve the situation? thanks robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Interesting prob with YaST in 11.4
by C 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

I haven't seen this discussed here yet... Before I open a bug, I'd like to know if anyone else is seeing this? - Open YaST (in KDE4) and type something in the search box. You should see only icons for matches to your search term. - Delete your search term - YaST basically stops drawing the icons correctly. Some icons are missing, others show briefly if you move the mouse around the YaST window, and others are drawn on top of each other. Basically the main YaST windows becomes a mess of jumbled up icons. Exiting and restarting YaST "fixes" things. I've put a screencap up here: http://i.imgur.com/kRw2S.png since it's kind of tough to visualize by my inadequate description.

[opensuse] Kwallet
by Mike 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Is there a way to turn kwallet off completely? I just installed 11.4 X_64 and when trying to configure kmail, it pops up wanting me to store my password there. I don't want it, don't need it. This is a one person computer. FWIW, kwalletmanager doesn't run. Tried to start from the menu, and fromthe command line. Nothing.

[opensuse] 11.4 Probelems
by Tony 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Update from 11.3 to 11.4 via zypper dup dup --download "in-advance" on 2 of my computer this weekend, laptop and desktop. I have run into the following issues any help appreciated: If the system hangs or locks up , on the laptop or desktop (see below for when they hang or lock up), when I reboot, /etc/init.d/network and kdm do not start by themselves. I have to login as root do /etc/initi.d/network start and then type in kdm, the gui (kde 4.6.x) starts, if I shut down the computer, the next reboot (assuming does not hang again) /etc/init.d/network and kdm start. A restart or logout, does not get /etc/init.d/nework and kdm to start by themselves again only a system shut down does. On the laptop it seems to hang on resume from suspend to ram (happens on the laptop if power supply adapter plugged in and laptop goes to sleep it will hang on resume or if power adapter not plugged in laptop suspended to ram on resume laptop will hang, did not due in 11.3) On the desktop it is an amd cpu, it hangs constantly with no error messages etc., the only error message i get is [900.000017] [Hardware Error]: No human readable MCE decoding support on this cpu type, shortly after this error messages pops up in kde 4.6.x system hangs, the [900.000017] number is different each time this error shows in the /var/log/message file. Did some googling and some old posts said to use nomce, so I did, now I get no mce error messages, but system, will hang with no error messages anywhere. The desktop is unstable on boot, it locks up a lot, once it boots and stays stable it will run ok, until I reboot again. Never had any of these problems on laptop or desktop when on 11.3, both systems openSUSE 11.4 32 bit, Nvidia 260.19.44 driver. Laptop is intel CPU, desktop is amd cpu. Any help appreciated, Thanks, Tony -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thunderbird links to firefox stopped working
by Anton Aylward 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

It used to be that thunderbird read a user.js file that had entries like user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/home/anton/.thunderbird/openlink.sh"); where openlink.sh was a shell script that ended up starting firefox. The script still works :-) But a) thunderbird 3.1.8 is no longer reading in user.js --- or if it is it isn't taking notice of those lines, or any others in that file! b) when I set them manually it still seems to have no effect. clicking on urls in mail messages still doesn't start firefox Am I alone in seeing this? -- Production is not the application of tools to materials, but logic to work. --Peter F.

[opensuse] QEMU and accessing the local network
by Roger Oberholtzer 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

I am trying to get qemu on openSUSE 11.2 to access the local network. It needs to do this when booting the OS (a variant of openSUSE built with KIWI - boots over PXE and is diskless, using AoE to access the root partition - it needs the network to boot). I get to the point where the guest OS wants to do something over the network. It has things set up to use qemu's private network, which is not what I need. I was looking at this for some help: http://people.redhat.com/berrange/olpc/sdk/network-bridge.html This seems to be describing what I want to accomplish. I have dnsmasq and vde installed. But I cannot find anything called qemu-network. I am guessing it is a Red Hat thing. Is there perhaps a counterpart for openSUSE? Or am I going about this in the wrong way? I need the guest OS to use it's own MAC address, and to pass all things to the local network. I think this is a bridged setup.
