(Other applications seem to have no unusual issues). I use the SuSE version. I have a general set of rules about installation of software on SuSE... 1) Check if distro RPM exists, if exists use that... 2) Check if 3rd party SuSE RPM exists, if exists use that... most work but some do not... 3) If it uses a bin or script (Netbeans, funambol), repository based (CPAN, eclipse, firefox, thunderbird plugins), apply with caution... These are usually safe enough but one may get the odd surprise.. 4) Build from source (with checkinstall) 5) If nothing works throw toys out of pram :-) I would not consider using a 3rd party generic RPM ... too likely to break stuff... and you normally do not have the level control of control on where it should go that is available in 3 and 4 ... i.e. you can isolate it from the main configuration... In this case the machine is known for hardware issues with most distros.. the sound support is erratic, the wireless card has given me truly interesting times between SuSE versions, and the power management is somewhat unreliable.., so this really is a localised problem. BTW It was not originally purchased to run Linux on anyway... You mentioned that Realplayer was the problem in your case .. which for some reason surprises me little.. - -- == I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

Is it possible that the > problem lies with Java? There's no way to know, yet, Dennis. The first thing to troubleshoot is why "Firefox began acting up and finally refused to appear at all." Solving problems in Linux is like peeling back onion skins in that the way to proceed is tackle and resolve the obvious problems, first, then see where that leads you. Like I wrote previously, my approach now would be to return the system to 'stock' software. Get that working and see if the sound problem clears up. If not, oh well, on to the next step! Carl P.S.

Hi Dennis, If you're having problems with an openSUSE installation, the last thing you want to do is throw software into the mix that hasn't been specifically packaged for installation in the distribution. Doing so just complicates matters and defeats the rationale for running an 'rpm' based system... unless, of course, you're seasoned and knowledgable enough to install it in such a way that it doesn't affect or conflict with other packages. In my experience, if you stick with the 'stock' and subsequently released openSUSE update packages, including those from alternate packagers like 'guru' and 'packman', you are much less likely to experience problems with mainstream software like Firefox. Also, by taking this more conservative approach, in the event you *do* experience problems, the chances are greater that others here who are similarly affected can work with or advise you on how to proceed. My recommendation would be to uninstall the generic Firefox, reinstall the openSUSE package and then try to work through the original problem with others here on the list. regards, Carl Dear Carl: When I worked under 10.2, I had no problem using the Mozilla-made Firefox.

[opensuse] Sound problem
After my SUSE 10.3 supplied Firefox began acting up and finally refused to appear at all, I installed a Mozilla-origin Firefox. Now, when I click on any sound on a site, I hear nothing. I am operating under KDE. The volume on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 8600) is set all the way up. KMIX is on. I had no trouble with this under 10.2. What do I do to fix this?

[opensuse] Sound problem......fixed.
As someone else said, adding users by their logon ID to the "audio" group is a work around, which is great for now, but there needs to be a proper fix ASAP. Over all, I'm very impressed (so far) with 10.2. On this laptop, I'm using the "old" KDE menus..MUCH, MUCH better than the new ones with a "pad." WRONG!!! Now that there is a sound work around, I guess I can get on with the business of conversion from 10.1, and have some clients order from Novell - once they have product to ship, that is.

[opensuse] Sound Problem with Intel ICH6
Hi, i have e Packard Bell EasyNote Notebook (A8750) with opensuse 10 on it. Everythings works ok, but the sound. lspci list it as "00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 04)" Yast load the snd-intel8x0 kernel module fot it, but i get not sound. Kmix works ok, i can listent how volume got changed, but amarok make no sound. The strange thing its when i unload the kernel module (snd-intel8x0). Whe i do that i can get the bell system sound when i press TAB TAB in konsole. But i have none /dev/dsp or /dev/snd/* so kmix dont work, amarok neither, etc. Any Ideas? Patricio Bruna V.
