[opensuse] Mic not working with 10.3 64bit
Hi! I have been struggling entire day today to get my sound card up and running properly but with not luck. Running openSuSE 10.3 on AMD x64 on acer Aspire notebook. The sound output works perfectly OK but I struggle to get my microphone working. Initially I assumed it was Skype problem but then tried recording sound with krec and it fails as well. The sound card is (lspci): 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [8086:27d8 (rev 02)] And as it has been properly discovered by yast2 sound I am using Intel HDA driver module Because it is on Acer Aspire 5630 I have altered /etc/modprobe.d/sound to be the following: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel # u1Nb.FPeEl_lypDB:82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=acer And it works OK: kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:1b.0[A] - GSI 22 (level, low) - IRQ 22 kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device :00:1b.0 to 64 kernel: ALSA /usr/src/packages/BUILD/alsa-driver-hg20080118/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2212: hda_codec: model 'acer' is selected As you can see the driver is also pretty up to date. I could not find many more clues for this specific problem as the card generally works and I have output via speakers/headphones. The most obvious would be to look in the mixer settings for Input but I have double-checked that levels are set to maximum and Mic and Capture is ON. I can also check the the mic itself works because if I go to Output mixer controls and turn the Mic on I can hear it well in the headphones (but that presumably only enables internal sound card routing of the signal). In the input channels I have: * Front Mic Boost * Mic Boost * Capture * Capture * Digital Though both Capture are enabled the level on it is always at the minimum but even if I turn it up and reopen the mixer it resets to zero. Any clues someone? I don't know where to look now.

It seems like he has some problems with the sound card setup and I would like to investigate but have no access to the computer (ie. physical) and though on broadband the machine is behind a NAT (and possibly a firewall) with no public IP so can't connect to it either. Is there a way that I could access the machine (ssh, vnc) with as little user intervention as possible (ideally just a simple command). I sit behind a NAT myself by should be able to configure some port forwarding if necessary. Any suggestions welcome.

Re: [opensuse] Access a remote openSuSE installation sitting behind NAT
Hello! Yup, crude solution but it seems to work very well. Thanks! Though I wonder now if there is any way to do that is I didn't have a public IP server at hand (ie. two machines behind NAT with no influence on the Firewall). More out of curiosity since the problem at hand has now been solved. Cheers!

[opensuse] SuseFirewall - protect SSH
Hi! Is there a way to merge the following iptables rules with SuseFirewall? iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m recent --set --name ssh --rsource iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m recent ! --rcheck --seconds 60 --hitcount 4 --name ssh --rsource -j ACCEPT I suspect those could be added once the firewall has started but ideally I would want this as part of the firewall startup.

Re: [opensuse] 10.3 x86_64 bit Install - GPG check on RPM failing for some packages
I usually install over the network with just the network boot install CD. You might try this if it is feasible. It worked fine for me a few weeks ago with 10.3 and the same CPU. An alternative solution might be to try and install the minimal system and then install other packages later on (I had to do it few weeks ago installing 10.2 of some CDs and it eventually worked). I don't know though what is to blame. On 08/01/2008, Brown, Jordan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm trying to install openSUSE 10.3 on an Intel Core 2 Duo 64 bit computer.

[opensuse] logsanalysis: (tail -f) vs (perl File::Tail)
Hi! Anyone have any view over the best way to watch for changes in log files to do some analysis? I want to create some small scripts/software to watch for changes in log files (like /var/log/messages or var/log/mai) and register some data in a db and I found to possible approaches: * to use Perl File::Tail to listen on a file and process any text that arrives * to use tail -f and pipe the output to my software And I was thinking what would the performance implications be and the preferred way of doing such analysis.
