OpenSUSE Hardware :: DVD Drive Start Working Bad Recently In KDE 4.4.3?
Jun 11, 2010
I have like a month using the KDE 4.4 from factory without problems since a month to now, but suddenly, since yesterday KDE doesnt mount my DVDs or CDs in my internal drive, and of course, doesnt burn anything, so i was wondering if this has something to do with the fact that im using factory or its a known bug or what should i check? I have dual boot in this computer, and in win the drives works without problem.
Should i go back to KDE 4.3.5? If you need some output or something tellme, all i can say know is that appears an error when i excute the command "eject" about something going wrong with ioclt... But it appears some times, and others dont.

My monitor recently stopped working(H/W problem)..after getting it repaired,the ubuntu system is acting weird in the sense that after running for some time,it sort of freezes and does not allow to open any new applications.On trying to open new application,the mouse curosr goes to busy mode and a new tab on task bar is displayed showing(starting 'App'),but after some 10-15 sec,the bar is gone,mouse cursor back to its idle mode and the application is never opened.REstarting the system takes it back to proper state,but after sometime-same prob..I cant open any application,not even system monitor to see whether cpu is being utilized to max.
Also,i have noticed one more thing on starting the system,i transferred 1 file(CUT FILE) from linux partition to windows partition and it got transferred successfully.After sometime,when the above prob came,i rebooted the system to see that the file is again present in Linux partition(And also windows parttion).THis is even after cutting the file and not copying.

I keep getting the same recently used applications when I log in. Even if I haven't used them recently. I'm noting this by the fact that googleearth and kcalc appear in the list and I haven't used either program in some time. If I start a program it shows up in the list but if I log out/in the list is back to the "old" list. Even if I right click and clear the recently used applications list they come back with the next login. The recently used documents seems to be functioning correctly. I'm sure the answer is check/delete something in ~/.kde4 but I have know idea what to check/delete.
OpenSUSE 11.3 (i586)
KDE 4.4.4-1.5

I try to clear 'recently used documents' within the kmenu nothing happens, i.e. the list is not cleared, until I reboot or log out and back in again. It's an old issue but thought I'd just ask if there are some fix for this. There is another small flaw on my system as well which is with refreshing the content displayed in a directory using dolphin (and possibly other file-viewers/apps). For instance, if I unpack a tar/rar/zip package I have to manually refresh dolphin for having it display the new extracted folder.

I just recently downloaded a font of .ttf format (truetype I believe). I tried adding the font to a couple of places but still can't find it in any applications.My goal is to use the font in GIMP. Even tried using it in Libre Writer, but still no luck.If I simply double click the ".ttf" file, it opens a window that shows all the letters in the font and the "Quick brown fox jumps." sentence. It also shows data about it like Name, Style, Type, Size, Version, etc... And there is a button on the bottom-right of the window that says "Install Font", and when I click it, it doesn't seem like anything happens except the button becomes greyed out and says,"Install Failed" (can barely read the greyed out text though).

I had some issues with my touchpad on my Dell Laptop Latitude E6510.I found the site "linux.dell.com" which is an OSS site for Dell products, Drivers, firmware, etc.Index of /repo/community.I followed the instructions on their site to add the repo to my system. When I run the 'wget' command that it tells me to run, it seems like everything goes fine. But I can't see the repo in YaST > Software Repositories. I ran the command on Friday last week so I don't have the exact output from which I ran this command the first time.

Not earth-shattering, I don't suppose, but have noticed that since installing 11.3 (Fresh install, x64, DVD), the "Recently Used" list in the "Start(? Kicker??)" Menu, doesn't save applications through a reboot... ie, if I start Thunderbird, Open Office, whatever while logged in, these will then appear in the "Recently used" section of the menu, but then do a reboot, and the applications area in the recently used menu, will be empty. The "documents" area is fine, and shows stuff after a reboot, but not "applications"....

Recently I have installed DockbarX and Cardapio. After installation they are supposed to be found in the Add to Panel items, but both of them are not there.I can run them directly without any problem. Is there anything else I should do manually? I have tried pkill gnome-panel to restart the panel as well.

Seems that my DVD-RW drive has stopped working at some point. I am pretty sure it worked when I first installed OpenSUSE 11.3. I have also tested with couple of other DVD drives - most of the times any of the discs (DVD or CD) I throw in are not recognized, this is what I get in dmesg:
Maybe this happened when new kernel (2.6.34.7-0.5-default) was installed as security update but I am not sure. Today I installed yet a another kernel update (2.6.34.7-0.7-default) but the issue remains...

One of my objections is the "recently installed" list at the top of the menu (I use the CLASSIC one-column style as opposed to the box version with multiple "tabs"). I often install 5-10 or more applications at one time and do NOT want a long list of programs popping up. Is there any way to at least clear this list? Disabling it would be even better, if anyone can tell me how to do that.While I have other aesthetic complaints, I have seen at least partial solutions to some of my other ones but this one I haven't seen anywhere.I have read it only stays there for a few days, but it is still annoying to have that long list. Also, if I ever set a friend up with our favorite OS they would have a list of around 50 programs sitting there and that looks really cluttered.

At the moment I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. My password has recently become unrecognizable. My password has never been changed and it has always worked up until now. I cannot put my computer to sleep or hibernate because my password for login will not be recognized. I cannot perform and downloads, system updates, or administrative changes because my password is not recognized. How can I go about fixing this issue?
I am completely new to this so I really do need step by step help here. If the last paragraph made your mind explode, I'll put it into laymen:
My administrative password that I have always used is all of a sudden not recognized. And no, I did not have CAPS on the entire time.

I've recently had to reinstall Ubuntu and start fresh 'cos I messed thing up luckily enough I had a pen drive handy to transfer my important docs, but man it was a pain to get all the docs back in there right places - I don't fancy much doing it again! What I'm looking for is some software that'll back-up my home folder, yet I'm having a real difficult time finding something suitable. I'm looking for something that may:
Auto schedule backups Retain file permissions Options for excluding particular file extensions i.e. .avi, .mp3 etc Is there any software that'll do the job?

(can i specify the folder they were deleted from or something?)PS: i used this code to recover my picturesCode:sudo foremost -t jpg -i /dev/sda1

I recently purchased some RAM from ebay and discovered what appears to be one stick is bad and one is good. The purchase was for 2 X 1 GB. My mother board is supposed to support 4 X 1 GB for a total of 4 GB, and there are 4 slots on the board for RAM. It is PC 3200, 400 MHz, 184 pin and that is how the item was listed. I ran multiple tests on the RAM sticks I purchased as well as the RAM I have the came with the machine (when I purchased the machine used). The machine worked fine when I purchased it and one of the RAM sticks I purchased is currently in the machine along with the original ram (total 2 X 256 MB + 1 X 1 GB) and works fine. It is just that one stick that is problematic.
Now, in the most recent email the seller sends me, he claims the density of the memory is not correct and that is the reason the stick does not work. This does not make sense to me for a few reasonts:
1) If the density is not correct then how come the other stick works fine in there? 2) Why then does memtest86 (run on that actual machine, through that mobo) show one of the sticks as passing with flying colors and the other as screwed up every which way from sunday? 3) If the manufacturer's specs on my mobo says that it has 4 slots and supports a total of 4 GB with 1 GB sticks in each slot, then how can density be an issue (note: there are 8 dram chips on ea stick of this memory I purchased).
I see that, according to ebay's buyer protection policy I have 45 days from the date of purchase and the RAM was purchased 22 days ago (I'm about in the middle of that time period). I still have some time to resolve this but I was hoping to get some feedback from you guys to help me make sure I'm on the right track and that the situation with the RAM really is as I believe it is.

I've recently re-installed my operating system after a system problem. I am running F14 and Rhythmbox 0.13.2. I had all my music files backed up and have copied all the all the backed up files to /home/Music. I also ripped four CDs today and put them in the same folder. Then I started Rhythmbox and went to import the /Music folder for the first time since the new install.
The only folders imported from the Music folder were the files from the four CDs I ripped today. It would not import any of the other subfolders or files. The new files were ogg format and that is what most of the non-imported files were. I tried importing the Music folder with Amorok and it worked fine so there files seem to be OK. Any idea why it isn't working in Rhythmbox?

Using Ubuntu Lucid with Gnome desktop.I was just playing around trying to find a media player I liked and installed Bangarang via the Software Centre. This took an absolute age and now I realise why - it has basically installed the entire KDE environment and associated lib packages as well.I have found /var/ log/ dpkg.log shows what has been installed and of course I can wade through that to make a list of all the packages and uninstall them all via Synaptic. But that will take a long time to do.
Is there anyway to somehow automate rolling back any package changes since a certain time?I've checked the man for dpkg and I can't see any mention of anything like this.

Sometime last week, my volume control disappeared. Upon investigating, I realized that the PulseAudio daemon was not running. When I tried to start it (both by command line and by graphical interface), it errored and refused to start. It is my impression that some other program is using the sound card, but I have been unable to find anything. I've removed all of my local media program configuration files, but nothing seemed to change.
1) finding the program that is locking the sound card?
