[opensuse] Switching to USB headset
by James Knott 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

I recently bought a USB headset to use with my notebook computer. However, even though it is configured properly and tests OK, I cannot get any app to send sound to it. It is configured as "Index 0", in Yast Sound, to make it the default audio device, but I cannot get any app to use it. Any ideas? BTW, in Windows, the audio switches automagically, when I plug it in. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.2 UEFI PITA
by richard -rw- weinberger 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Hi! Installing OpenSUSE on an UEFI system seems to be a real PITA. I'm not talking about secure boot. My new notebook (Thinkpad u430u) support a legacy boot mode, but in this mode vt-d does not work. The kernel does not boot (no output at all, also nothing using earlyprintk). So I have to use UEFI. But sadly both LiveCD and DVD do not support booting from UEFI. Netinstall boots from UEFI using ELILO but installing grub2-efi fails badly. Yast seems to call grub2-efi-install with corrupted parameters. If i recall correctly the output was "Please specify source_dir". How do you guys install/use OpenSUSE 12.2 on pure UEFI systems? Again, using legacy boot is not alternative for me. -- Thanks, //richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] samba
by Hans Witvliet 12 Jan '13

12 Jan '13

Hi All, It's been over a month since the release of samba-4 was announced. Has anybody some experience with it yet? Is it worth while trying it out or should one still stick with the prior individual functional components (samba-3.6, openldap, kerberos, bind) Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] where to find rpms for perl-5.16.x for Open Suse 12.1?
by Linda Walsh 12 Jan '13

12 Jan '13

I did a web search and software search on the software.opensuse.org website. The latest I found for 12.1 was perl 5.14 which doesn't have some unicode changes I need. I tried building it myself, but had problems building it under 12.1. Last summer, others reported it building fine, but it wasn't clear if they were using 12.1 or not. Is it on the build service somewhere that I missed? Thanks! Linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to print Firefox directory structure?
by Thomas Taylor 12 Jan '13

12 Jan '13

Would someone please show me how to print the directory structure of the bookmarks? I'm assuming that would require some sort of reading and interpreting the *.json file, or is there some other way? Basically I've built up a rather large and sometimes duplicated bookmark structure and want to re-organize it. System info is in signature block. Thanks, Tom -- A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

[opensuse] HP 970cxi printer problem
by Mark Misulich 12 Jan '13

12 Jan '13

Hi, A couple of months ago I upgraded my desktop computer from openSUSE 12.1 to openSUSE 12.2 by formatting root and installing from DVD. In 12.1, the printer printed envelopes correctly, but in 12.2 it will not print correctly. When an 4 1/2 inch by 9 1/2 inch envelope is printed in this printer, they are fed into a slot in the paper tray along the long axis. The 4 1/2 inch width engages the rubber paper roller, and the 9 1/2 inch length is fed through the printer. The printer prints the addresses on the envelope at a 90 degree orientation to text that would be printed on a regular 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of paper. This is a little hard to describe in text, so if you are still not following me in this, go to this website to see a picture of the printer. You can see the slot where envelopes are inserted in the upper paper tray on the right side as you face the printer. http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showthread.php?t=2075744 Okay, I'm glad we got that sorted out. Now here is the problem. When I try to print envelopes with 12.2, the printer cartridge prints on the left side of the printer, on the opposite side from where the envelope is fed through the printer. It prints on the rubber roller instead of on the paper of the envelope. I have looked through the printing dialog boxes to see if there were any selections that can be made to fix the envelope printing to correct printing, but there don't seem to be any available. With versions of opensuse previous to openSuse 12.1, when I tried to print envelopes in LibreOffice they would print in the same orientation as the text on printed pages. So I couldn't print envelopes with LibreOffice. When I printed them with Softmaker Textmaker, they would print correctly. With 12.1 both word processors would print envelopes correctly. Now with 12.2 installed, neither word processor program will print envelopes. So I have no way of printing envelopes in Linux now, I have to shut Linux down and print them with Windows. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I've noticed that there haven't been any updates for 11.4 recently. Has it moved to Evergreen? If so, how do I switch? I currently run 11.4 on my firewall. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problems with Hauppage WinTV NOVA-S-Plus
by eddie 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hi All I've been using my card for a few years now without any problems. Now it has suddenly stop. (I can't remember if it was after an update). Dmesg gives the following info: [ 17.009814] cx88[0]/2: frontend initialization failed [ 17.009839] cx88[0]/2: dvb_register failed (err = -22) [ 17.009865] cx88[0]/2: cx8802 probe failed, err = -22 Apart from this I can see and configure it in yast. However, kaffeine (which is the app I usually use) cannot find any device. Using Kernel 3.4.11-2.16-desktop, openSuSE 12.2 and KDE 4.9.5 "release 3" Don't know if someone out there has a similar pci satellite TV card, and knows of any solution. Would appreciate any help or advice. Thanks in advance. Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
