Well, gave up and did a reinstall...... Had tried the rebuilddb bit - didn't work, still the same error. Tried most of the other suggestions as well, and nothing worked, so now am rebuilding from scratch - at least I now have sound!! And being used to Windows systems, am a fairly regular rebuilder anyway.... :-)
Thanks for all the tips, and if I'm feeling particularly brave one day, might try the Realtek drivers again, but a little more carefully next time! (checkinstall, was it??!!)
Yes, but first look for SUSE specific rpm package. Redhat or Fedora rpm may work, but it can have the same effect as those that you have already seen.
Thanks a lot, John.
Linux is for the most of it's users the way to learn more and they are very reluctant to "just reinstall" even if that means more time used to find a solution. That is the reason to give you a lot of ideas just to avoid reinstallation. If the system is properly configured with separate /home than reinstallation can be faster than fixing it. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
