[opensuse] Playing games on 11.4 impossible due to services
by Ilya Chernykh 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

I have about 1-5 fps in some gaves due to background disk operations by services prepare_preload and tracker on 11.4. These services tale about 30% of CPU load each. How can I disable them? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Delayed sound in ET:Quake Wars
by Ilya Chernykh 18 Mar '11

Hi! After upgrade to 11.4 I have sound in Quake Wars delayed by 15-20 seconds, both in game and in menu. This make it completely useless in game. Under 11.3 all was OK. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No USB on 11.3
by James Knott 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Since 11.4 wouldn't work on my ThinkPad R31, I installed 11.3. However, one problem I've noticed is that I cannot see a USB drive. I've plugged into both the built in USB 1 port and also a PCMCIA USB 2 port and neither work. It is detected, according to dmesg, but doesn't show as being assigned a mount point. USB drives should be appearing as /dev/sdb Suggestions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Video problems with 11.4
by James Knott 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

I've just installed 11.4 on an old Compaq computer. One problem that was immediately obvious is the monitor goes black every several seconds. Also, where the heck are the video settings? I can't seem to find them anywhere! This computer previously ran 11.3 without issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] netbook
by Hans Witvliet 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Just curious, What should i choose for a small netbook with 10" display? Currently (default) 11.2 installed, but wife complains that it is unworkable. Looked at: /srv/distro/repo/KDE:/Netbook/ but nothing is build (yet) for 11.4. Just 11.2, 11.3 and factory I did try: /srv/distro/repo/Meego:/Netbook/images/iso/Smeegol.i686-1.0.5-Build1.18.iso Seems to be related to 11.4, but failes directly after booting, before installation. Should i try: repo/KDE:/Netbook/images/iso/Plasma-Netbook-Reference.i686-4.5.0-Build1.6.iso ? (much older, august 2010) Other suggestions (besides replacing netbook/wife -;) hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] boot failure
by Tony Alfrey 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hello; This may be more of a hardware question than software; please let me know what you think. I have a dual boot box with Windows on an IDE drive and a pair of SATA drives w/ linux, SuSE and Fedora. Windows boots, the SATA drives will not, and I cannot get SuSE ( I have old 9.1) to boot from the CD. It says after going through many things, "Starting hardware detection . . Activating usb devices . . . done Searching for infofile and it hangs there. Also, if I try to go through the steps to do an installation, it gets to YAST and spins. It is possible that my SATA controller has died? If I unplug the SATA contoller, should the system be able to boot from the CD?
