BY BROTHER, > including not only driver software, etc., but even instructions. The Epson has worked well for years, but I don't use it often enough to justify buying another scanner. I was able to install the 32 bit iscan driver from Epson and that worked well. Perhaps the package from 12.2 could be updated for 12.3. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problems with going back to 12.2
by Oszkó Albert 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hi all, Since I could not bear the noise the video card's fan was making, and was afraid the high temperature kills the video chip before time, decided to go back to 12.2.from 12.3. As I learned there is no fglrx-legacy driver in 12.3 for my old ATI 48xx card, so had to use Mesa instead. Going back to 12.2 is not simple. I try to install from live KDE from an USB stick (has no DVD at the moment). There is no net connection after installation and my other HDD is not mounted. The major thing is that the HDD is spinning endlessly and I cannot figure out, what does it do or what does it looking for. I could start net and mount the other HDD in the first minute ( (in repeated boot ups) while the system is usable, after that it is extremely slow or does not respond at all. The cause is somewhere in KDE I suspect, because in failsafe (not KDE failsafe) mode or in CLI the HDD does not spin madly. So I tried to update KDE from 4.8.4 to somewhat higher version and separately install Fglrx-legacy, but after that the system could not reboot. Only GRUB is seen on the screen and the system halts (though i set grub2). Any hints are welcome, how can I remedy these problems. I also have a WIN 7 on the same HDD.

[opensuse] USB audio device not configured correctly
by Jim Henderson 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

I've just purchased an inexpensive USB cassette player in order to archive/preserve some audio cassette recordings of some interviews I did years ago, and I've run into a slight issue with the detection of the device. The device identifies as a JMTek USB Audio Device (Vendor 0c76, Device 160a). I'm using openSUSE 12.2. When I plug the device in and connect to it with Audacity, and I only get a mono channel (rather than a stereo setup). Looking at the output of "lsusb -v", I see that the input terminal is identified as a microphone with one channel. If I start a Windows VM in Virtualbox and connect the device to that, it is recognized (in Windows) as a stereo device, and I can record left and right channels, so the hardware should be recognized as having stereo channels via USB. There are no special drivers installed for the Windows VM (it was just "plug and play"). I'd much rather not have to boot up a Windows VM in order to record audio from this device. I also would prefer to not use line-in, as I almost always have ended up with a 60 cycle hum recording that way, and I don't get that if I record over the USB connection (the USB connection also powers the device). snd_usb_audio is automatically loading when I plug the device in. Are there any tricks that I might apply to getting this device recognized properly or to diagnose why it's being identified as a mono device?

[opensuse] Strange problem with Mysql on 32bit OpenSuSE 12.3
by Claudio ML 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hello all, I have a strange behaviour with mysql on a 32bit OpenSuSE. The problem is: in my.cfg i have the following: [mysqld] port = 3306 socket = /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock # Change following line if you want to store your database elsewhere datadir = /var/lib/mysql key_buffer_size = 16M max_allowed_packet = 1M table_open_cache = 64 sort_buffer_size = 512K net_buffer_length = 8K read_buffer_size = 256K read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M default-character-set= latin1 When i start Mysql it fails with the following log: 130326 21:55:28 InnoDB: Waiting for the background threads to start 130326 21:55:29 InnoDB: 5.5.30 started; log sequence number 4115714 130326 21:55:29 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable 'default-character-set=latin1' 130326 21:55:29 [ERROR] Aborting With the same configuration, on OpenSuSE 12.3 64bit it works correctly. If i try to remove the entry 'default-character-set=latin1' it starts perfectly, but i need it... What is the problem? Is a bug?

[opensuse] No eth after installation
by Dmitry Ashkadov 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hello! I've tried to install openSUSE 12.3. Computer has Davicom Semiconductor ethernet controller installed. Usually I use ISO for Net installation. During installation openSUSE uses Internet, but after installation there is no ethernet connection (no eth0). I have found out that to enable ethernet connection I have to type modprobe dmfe. Do you know how to enable dmfe module by default? Thank you! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Where is personal shell used set?
by Thomas Taylor 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

When I open a bash shell and modify the settings I give it a name (shell-tom), click on apply and then OK. Where are these modifications saved? I would expect to find them in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc but they aren't there. I want to have the saved settings used whenever I open a bash shell as the user or another bash shell (shell-root) when su-ing.

[opensuse] Virus-scanner recommendation
by Koenraad Lelong 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, I'm running a Postfix mails-server that serves mainly Windows-clients, so a virus-scanner is needed. Up until recently I was running clamav and Norman. Unfortunately, Norman started misbehaving (needing huge amounts of disk-io, slowing down the server) and I had to disable it. So I'm looking for some other virus-scanner besides clamav. Can anyone recommend a virus-scanner that runs under Linux with amavis ? I looked at some scanners, but they are Windows-only. I still need to look at the "big" ones (kaspersky, symantec) though.
