OpenSUSE Multimedia :: No Sound After Leaving And Returning Runlevel 5?
Jan 19, 2010
Every time I leave runlevel 5 (shutdown, reboot, init 3 or whatever) and then return to runlevel 5, I lose sound and have to delete and then re-edit sound card config in Yast Sound module to restore it.When returning to GUI environment, the sound card appears OK in Yast but I get no sound from any of my multimedia apps - Amarok, VLC, Firefox all go quiet. Strangely, it still plays the KDE intro jingle when KDE starts up.To restore sound I click delete in Yast and I'm prompted with the following KDE dialogue:
Removed Sound Devices
KDE detected one or more internal sound devices were removed.
Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices?

I recently bought a set of 2.1 speakers, all is fine. I like to listen to my DAB radio through them. When I boot up, (runlevel 3), sound is there via the mic/line-in jack, but as soon as KDE starts, the sound cuts. I can get it back by:~>alsamixerand then F6 and then scroll to mic, switching to ON and slider up to full and then mic boost up to 65% or so.Can I tell something in KDE to default to mic/line-in on?kmix does not give the full picture I see in other's posts, like here:ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hostingjust a single slider under each tab, like this:

That about sums it up. I have read this, but I am not sure it pertains to me exactly. Any help other than "run at 5"

runlevels 2 -5 are identical in Ubuntu. /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf is used instead of /etc/inittab for changing the runlevel. But there's no point doing that since the runlevels are identical. The default runlevel is 2, so I tried to find some service I could disable in /etc/rc2.d. I didn't find anything I could work with.

I have suse 11.4 installed and I wish to replace the on-board sound chip with an add-on sound card. The following are available at my local shop but they cannot advise whether any will work on Linux Suse 11.4.
Anyone know which of these cards will work on Suse 11.4?
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
Asus Xonar DS

openSUSE 11.2 64bit
libxine1 from Packman
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
Maybe it's just an Amarok2 problem, but whenever another app (for example Konversation) plays a sound file, the audio instantly cuts out (in Amarok2) and will not come back unless I quit Amarok2 and restart it.
Amarok2 has only the options - "HDA ATI SB VT 1708S Analog" or "PulseAudio" (which is NOT installed).

Also I am totally confused by the mixer, it has so many knobs that I am totally lost!

I encountered this on a 10.3 system but there might be similar problem with the 11 series. Having gone through the business of obtaining config info on this card via pnpdump and subsequently using Yast to configure and install it, I encountered a situation whereby the card was fully functional as far as the "Test Sound" option of Yast was concerned. However, after a reboot, it was not loaded and no sound was possible. Debugging the "alsasound" script, I discovered that the directory /proc/asound was not in place at that time and, therefore, sound was not started.
The solution was to add the module name (snd_sbawe) to /etc/sysconfig/kernel to the parameter "MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT". Seems like Yast did not see a reason to do this itself.

I recently installed the x64 rpm of OSS on my Opensuse 11.2 installation (alsa does not have drivers for my lynx card). Sound works beautifully in KDE (login sounds, apps produce sound, etc), EXCEPT for firefox. I can get no sound at all from firefox. I am baffled at why only firefox does not play audio.
System:
OpenSuse 11.2 (it is a pretty fresh install)
OpenSoundSystem 4.2
KDE 4.4 (updated from factory repos)

I have decided to move my laptop over to openSUSE after a terrible experience with Vista. I have some experience with Ubuntu on a desktop, but I'm a brand new suse user. I installed 11.3 but haven't been able to get any sound out of it.
The laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ45-307tx (more specs at link below)

Here is the ALSA support url per the instructions in the multimedia sticky [url]

I recently updated from OS 11.2 to OS 11.3 and right after that had problems with my X.org server.If started with normal settings X crashes in runlevel 5, so right at the end of the boot process.If started with x11debug option X works, However I cannot use wine with this option.I don't even have an idea how to look for the problem, but there must be some feature that causes X to crash, which is not included in the debug-mode.

After successful upgrading from 11.3 to 11.4 I had to install ATI driver from here Index of /mirror/ati/openSUSE_11.4 and delete the old ones. After rebooting the system entered in runlevel 5 where I received kwin error which I couldn't back-trace with the tools, but it was working. When I have made an on-line update and rebooted again it went to runlevel 3 without showing any error. When I type startx it shows error, but when I enter as root KDE starts normally and it's functional. how to get to the KDE with my account, but not as a root user?

I'm installing 11.4 as a guest under Citrix's XenServer. The only access to a guest's graphical desktop is via VNC.The problem is that I can't achieve runlevel 5 as X can't find any devices. With 11.3 I was able to run Sax2 and add a dummy screen device to Xorg.conf that it created.When Sax2 was removed from 11.4, what was the fall-back for configuring X?

I have a problem with the runlevel editor. It hangs at 28 per cent when initialising the runlevels. (Process: y2base runlevel qt). It used to work fine, probably until.I installed an update recommended by yast, including a new kernel. I did not immediately reboot after installing the new kernel but used the runlevel editor, which has hung since then.I've tried a reboot without success.Does anyone know what I could do to get this running again?

Apache is set to start on runlevel 2, 3 and 5, just like MySQL. For some obscure reason this always fails. I tried resetting the runlevels, but this did not help and I always have to start apache manually after reboot.
How can I analyze this problem? In the Apache logs I don't find the cause. Is there an other log I can check?

With the default boot set to runlevel 5 you have a login screen that provides a menu to choose which desktop to run (KDE, Gnome, etc).
My machine is set to boot to runlevel 3. How can I switch the desktop from the command line before starting X?
Fedora has a nice little utility called switchdesk, but can't find anything like it for openSUSE 11.2.

I just updated my box to 11.3. And now when it starts, it goes to runlevel 3 which means the X server is not working. I'm using Radeon HD 4670. How do I configure X from runlevel 3?

It's looking like from the options on the grub CL that the highest I can go is 1280x1020x32bit. But it still does not fit my entire screen (23'' LED) if there is a way to make runlevel 3 1920x1080, I have a Nvidia GTX460. Also, whether or not I can do it, how do I save the settings, so I don't have to type it in at the bottom of the screen in the boot menu? How do I drop back to runlevel 3, when I'm in the x system (GUI)?

Everything worked fine for several updates to the final system, now suddenly when trying to login dropping out at runlevel 5 and login. When doing login the system starts as root with startx but not as user. This is for me a permission problem. Only: I did not change the permissions and I did not log into as a root-X system. I just did set the permissions in yast to secure. Nothing else. The system complains:

For some reason today when I attempted to reboot my machine I am unable to start runlevel 5. The errors I am getting are the following:
Failed services in runlevel 5: vmware
Skipped services in runlevel 5: cifs nfs
I uninstalled Vmware in hopes that it would solve the problem. No dice.
how to debug this or has anyone seen this issue before.

I want to automatically run a script once the system has entered runlevel 3 during boot (the script requires network access). I know about /etc/init.d/boot.local but it's my understanding it's triggered in runlevel 1. I also know about init.d scripts but they seem a little daunting.

I'm relatively new to Linux and to openSUSE. I've been using 11.3 as the OS on my home server for awhile using a GUI (Gnome). I recently created a new server which is much more powerful and would like to get serious about learning the ins and outs of the system. I've learned some basic bash and would like to install 11.4 on the new server. I have two questions about this. The first is: does it add any system overhead if I install KDE but set the default runlevel to 3? I know that running the GUI takes up system resources, but I'm new enough to the system that I'm not 100% comfortable yet not having a GUI backup. On the other hand, if having a GUI installed eats up resources (other than the HDD space for installing it) even if I'm only using the system in runlevel 3, then I think I'll forgo KDE and install it as text only and just bone up on bash.
My second question is: is there a file I can edit to customize the runlevel 3 console? I just installed 11.4 on my HP Mini using KDE but defaulting to runlevel 3, and I really like the background picture and little SUSE lizard at the top of my console. Is there a way to change the background picture and logo at the top? It's probably a little juvenile on my part to want to customize this but Linux is all about choice right?

I understand that the K (KDE) network manager is a KDE app but does it actually function in runlevel 3? By that I mean does it allow wireless connections to work? I've been trying to do this but can't. I have a need to while in KDE to sometime init 3 and while in runlevel 3 I need my wireless to work. I havent figured out if Knetwork manager still functions outside of KDE or if I need to just use ifup traditional.
I did search the forum for threads related to knetwork manager and did not see anything related to this so I hope someone can assist me. Also if I do need to use ifup traditional method, is there anything specail I need to do so that it works without issues such as, uninstall knetwork manager or something else? I ask this because my previous attempts at using ifup (by switching to it from YAST) end up making my wireless not work. I can scan and find my network but after entering my creds it doesnt do anything. I managed to get it to work once somehow but after a shutdown and reboot it no longer worked. Just incase you need to know, I'm running Suse11.4 KDE 4.6, my wireless module I believe is a iwlagn or something like that. My laptop which Suse is running on is a Toshiba A665-S6086 core i3, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD.

After the GRUB prompt, my boot process does not advance to the login GUI. It kicks me out to the console view of the boot process and ends with a text prompt for logging in.
I get the following message just before the "Welcome to OpenSUSE 11.1" line:
Skipped services in runlevel 5: nfs
what's happening and how can I retrieve the login GUI?
