[opensuse] Sound Question
by Stephen P. Molnar 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

OpenSUSE 12.1 64 bit Yast/Sound shows three sound cards: 0 MCP55 High Definition Audio 1 Solo-1 Audio Adapter 2 USB Audio With the above order of cards the Solo-1 is the only one that produces sound when tested. If I change the order and make the Solo-1 the primary card it becomes mute and the MCP55 card which moves index 2 produces sound when tested. The USB Audio card remains mute regardless of its index. All of the sound devices, speakers, Amarak, etc work, with the exception of the microphone. The opne exception for the microphone is the WebCam microphone works in Firefox if I open the Chat configuration in gmail. Unfortunately, Skype will only use The PulseAudio Server (local) for all of the sound settings. Ringing and the Speakers work, but the microphone remains mute. I have tried every setting on the PulseAudio server and have not managed to enable the microphone. Several questions: What will I mess up if I delete the the MCP55 High Definition Audio and USB Audio cards in Yast? How can I enable the microphone? Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.

Autologin was set, so i have disabled. i will see, next login I think that the similar instruction in kde/'personal settings' should be reconsidered, since that does not seem the right place for such action; moreover it is conflicting with 'system settings' Paolo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I cannot stop the user that has been created when installing opensuse 12.1/kde to autologin In systemsettings--> Login screen 'Auto-Login' is disabled, yet apparently with no effect. Any hints?

[opensuse] 12.1 - BtrFS/LZO or Ext4 on Notebook ???
by andreil1 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

Hi ! Anyone can shed any light on this dilemma? I have an idea (may be wrong) to use BtrFS with LZO compression for both /root and /home to reduce disk activity and may be gain some speed (on notebook with dual core Intel i3 and 4 GB of RAM, OpenSuSE 12.1). Does this logic make some sense? Or may be BtrFS is steel too "green" for this purpose? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, openSUSE is showing only 3.9GB of RAM whereas I have 8GB installed on the system. Sometimes FF takes upto 800MG which slows the browser. I have installed 64bit version which should show full RAM.

Hello, Wonder if exists an APT management software for openSUSE as it was available some years ago. I would like to interact with DEB packages as well as maintaining the standard RPM. Thanks.

[opensuse] KDE crashing bug not fixed in openSUSE
by Karl Ove Hufthammer 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

I get hit by the following crashing bug almost every time I log out: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275286 I usually just click ‘Close’ and be done with it, but this I decided to let DrKonqi figure out if it was a known bug. And it turned out to be *very* well known, with tons of duplicate reports. And apparently fixed. But not in openSUSE. One of the more recent comments in the bug is: There is no need for intermediate fixes as this has been properly fixed for a while by now, just look at the bug status. For some reason the fix doesn't get shoved to the distros, therefore we still see bug reports from Ubuntu and SuSe. It feels like distros want to display KDE in the worst possible light (and KDE doesn't miss a chance to help them). So my question is *why* doesn’t a bug like this get into openSUSE? (This is not meant as a rhetorical question; I’m genuinely interested in the answer.) -- Karl Ove Hufthammer E-mail: karl(a)huftis.org Jabber: huftis(a)jabber.no -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
