Hi, I had a problem with Opensuse 11.4 and kde 4 using the plasmoid-network management to connect to a hotel wireless network last night. I am in a different city now so I can't do any testing, but perhaps someone may be able to figure out what was happening and help me out anyways. I tried to listen to streaming audio on two different sites yesterday evening, using gmplayer, vlc, or embedded flash player in the web browser (Firefox 5.0 and Opera). About every couple of minutes to every thirty seconds the players would stop playing after dropping the stream, and I would have to restart the players. I never lost connection to the hotel router with the network management. After about a half hour of messing with it, I finally gave up and went to Win7 and WinMedia Player. No problems with it, no interruptions. Anyone have an idea what was happening and how to fix it in Opensuse? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

That's what freedom's about. But I don't in any way advocate the use of software RAID -- I strongly discourage it. I think DM raid might be able to mount some hardware RAID volumes. This might come in handy if you have a failure that wasn't properly planned for. -- Med Vennlig Hilsen, A. Helge Joakimsen -- Med Vennlig Hilsen, A.

[opensuse] Unwanted autologin with no password after power failure

by Mike Grau

Howdy folks, I had a power failure here. Afterwards I powered up the machine and it came up, but failed to start the graphics, or at any rate I was at the text console -- no login screen. As root I "init 3" then "init 5" with no apparent affect. I then did "init 6". Now when the machine comes up, the login screen is bypassed and I (not root) am automatically logged on without a password. Management is less than thrilled, but nevertheless somewhat excited. Looking at the Login Manager, neither Auto-Login nor Password-Less Logins is enabled. I enabled these, saved and exited the Login Manager, and then went back in and un-enabled them, saved and exited. No difference. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get back to a login screen at boot? openSUSE 11.3 Linux 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop x86_64 KDM 4.4.4-6.1.1 libkde4 4.4.4-3.1.1 Thanks! - Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox 5 is now available for v11.0/SLEx 11(for those still using older versions)

by Larry Stotler

For those of us still using openSUSE 11.0(or 11.1) or SLEx 11 and having the SLEx Mozilla repo, I found that v5.0 is available as well as 3.6.18-2.1. If you use the text YaST, you don't get the option to choose which version, but the option for 3.6.18 is available in the graphical YaST. Just thought I would pass that on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] AntiSPAM question...

by Ciro Iriarte

Maybe this is a little out of topic, but maybe some of you have experience with this.... What do you thing about chaining SPAM filters?, can this led to false positives faster?.

[opensuse] Router? Splitter?...

by Insomniac

Hi all, I'm looking into getting satellite internet, since all the dial-up ISP's are making it harder and harder for me to stay online the amount of time that I do (I'm disabled and being on the computer is all I have to keep myself occupied and from going insane with nothing to do). My mom will also be sharing the satellite hookup too, so we only have to pay for one modem etc. My question is: What would be best to use so that all I have to do is run a cable from her computer and one from my computer to the modem. I mean, how should I set it up so that both of us can use the same, single satellite modem? What would be best, and most importantly, easiest? Also, will our opensuse 11.3 pick up this new connection readily? Or will I have to do a bunch of cli stuff and wondering what and how to get connected? Any advice and help with this is greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] How to remove a user from the group "users"

by Sven Hartrumpf

Hi all. I am trying to remove a user from the group "users" (for reasons of access rights): in yast, I changed the default group for this user from "users" to "nogroup". But afterwards I still get for this user: > groups nogroup users Anything to restart?

[opensuse] EliteBook 8460w, openSuSE 11.4 and graphics card driver

by Peter

I have been given a HP EliteBook 8460w, and I have made it dual boot with openSuSE 11.4 64-bit, but there is no working driver for the graphics card, AMD FirePro M3900 Mobility. I have visited the AMD web site looking for a driver, but they pointed me to HP, who only have drivers for SuSE Linux SLED 11 SP1 (2.6.32.12 Kernel), and having spent time on the phone with HP, they suggested getting back to AMD. Does anyone have any suggestions to get a driver for this graphics card that will run under 11.4.

[opensuse] dmesg in Gui?

by Constant Brouerius van Nidek

In former versions of Yast I remember that there was a possibility to look at the boot log, get a list of warnings, errors and lots more info in an automated way. I have the feeling that such diagnostic program is really missing because the Yast program gave nicely portioned parts of what has now to be done with dmesg and grep etc.. Is there some Gui program which could do as the old Yast could do? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-rc4-2-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.4 (4.6.4) 20:50pm up 2:23, 3 users, load average: 1.02, 0.45, 0.42 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
