I have a long 8 years of hardcore windows programming, delved a lot into windows internals, embedded, systems stuff.
After this bout, I thought I had enough of ms windows and shifted my base to linux.
Wiped of windows completely from my laptop (AMD 64 Turion, 756 MB RAM, 80 GB HDD).....and since last one month , my everyday computing - programming is based on linux, I must say I am totally at ease and enjoying linux thoroughly ... TUX just rocks ...
I have a serious doubt that you had 'hardcore' programming. If you write your code like your mails, I can imagine what your definition of 'hardcore' means. Do not take this as an offense, but it's like that: it sounds ridiculous.
1. For some reason the Volume of my laptop speakers sounds lot less and mild as compared to the same volume level in windows.
No one ever said they are the same. Depending on hardware, volume control is more or less precise. Some hardware divides the available volume range into 8, 16, 32 or 64 points, and your Volume Level Program maps that onto a bar from 0 to 100%. This division leads to spurious happenings like going from 57% to 59% instead to 58% - this is the 'roundup' error you get. Maybe Windows handles this differently, but what most annoys me about "mild" is that some soundcards are so terribly silent that maxing their volume can barely build some proper volume level on (non-amplified) headphones. Then, it's just better that Linux has high volumes (as in dB) at low values. One can always turn down the volume, but turning it up has a limit.
2. Irrespective of the fact, that I had set a LOGIN and LOGOFF sound in open Suse 10.1, but whenever I am booting in GNOME, I do not hear the login/log off sound.
You probably set the KDE login/logoff sound.
3. Even If I have given correct settings in the Power Management module, even when my laptop is on battery powered, it shows the AC Plug icon in the system tray and as a tool tip, it shows (AC Powered fully
Run `powersave -B` from a console and see if it says battery or AC Online. Any program that differs from what powersave says is broken.
1. Loading IRQ Balance ..... (this fails some times and some times it works fine..._)
In case you have a uniprocessor, this should not fail but rather be skipped.
2. Failure to Load the Dazuko Kernel module ..... (no idea what it is...)
Neither do I, since it is not included in the normal SUSE Linux.
Could anybody throw some pointer on the above issues....
void *ptr;
I had initially started with open Suse 10.0 and then my friend informed me about the availability of 10.1, and I moved to 10.1 thereafter. Somehow, its just a feeling that in performace, open Suse 10.0 is faster than 10.1.
Of course. If you try to run a SUSE 6.x nowadays, it is ultra-fast. Which means that all programs are becoming fat over time.
Otherwise, I am perfectly fine and comfortable with linux, and believe me its my first peek into non windows systems... My eternal love for C/C++ has increased further with my experiences in Linux ....
Try Cygwin, giving you an UNIX environment on Win32.
