Re: SuSe 7.2 Realplayer
Just taking a guess. This sort of thing is almost always permissions related. So, I would check permissions on your /dev/dsp, or whatever device Suse uses for sound and for /dev/mixer. Also, maybe there is a directory or file in your user directory realplayer is trying to use on which root has messed up the permissions. AND, I would try starting realplay from the command line. Maybe you'll see some helpful messages. Joel On Sat, Jan 05, 2002 at 02:54:38PM -0500, Lee wrote: > Set up SuSe 7.2 on two different boxes.

Well that tells me that its not the DDR ram, one down. Had no luck at the archives as I also have had no luck getting Suse to answer me. Now does anyone have suse up with one of the lastest athlons? Where is it checking when it does the 'system check' and especially where is it at 50% ? However since I wrote this and it bounced I have done the F2 text install: It starts and completes a H/W detection, so thats fine. Searches for infofile and Braille display find both I guess as it does not complain.States tha H/W probing finished, starts YAST1 then initialises YAST2 checks system up to 40% then on screen comes: sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for `"' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error. unexpected end of file Now AFAIK this only occurs with script files; I am guessing that as 7.1 goes on fine, that something in a script file that has changed from version 7.1 is stuffing up.

I have five machines here with W3.1 (just upgraded the server). I had 3.1 balk on a couple of rhe machines, an AMD 750 Duron and an Intel P3-866. I keep a Mystique video card as a test card that I use whenever an install fails during hardware probing. In most cases the install continues flawlessly when I use the test card. Once I've completed the install I then (in run level 3) manually configure X to reflect the card I intend to use. The biggest culprit has been the ATI Rage Fury Pro. But once I've manually set things up all runs just fine. -- Ted Ozolins (VE7TVO) Westbank, BC ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
