Flashplayer audio under Firefox - selecting alternate hardware device
Trying to get info on how this is configured. My default sound device is not the one I play music etc through. Therefore sound/video pgms have to use hw:1, dsp1 etc. I have seen various posts with problems playing flash audio but nothing so far on how to select the device. I wonder whether the firefox_dsp vari... 20 Jun 2008 23:32

Ran the DVD installer against one of my 10.3 systems and selected update the installed system. Everything worked wonderfully well until it came time for the first boot -- Grub gave me an Error 15 - File Not Found.

No more streaming video in Firefox
Since downloading the Firefox 3.0, videos from news links like CNN and BBC will no longer play. I have the 64 bit version of Firefox. When I attempt to play the video links, I receive error messages saying that I do not have the required plug in. On one place, I told it to download the plug in rpm and then I tried ... 22 Jun 2008 04:03

OpenOffice version difference 10.3 to 11.0
My 10.3 system has OOo v 2.4.1.5, with some problems, notably locking up in Calc and not recognizing the keyboard - there is an unresolved bug report on the OOo portion of bugzilla on this. 11.0 has OOo v 2.4.0.14. Presumably this is before the updates on 10.3 that caused the problems, but will they soon update it... 20 Jun 2008 15:20

Real Player + PulseAudio
I only had a limited amount of time to play with my new openSUSE 11.0 installation this morning but one thing I did notice was that Real Player was silent. Looking at this page: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup seems to indicate that Real Player 10 will not work with PulseAudio! Has anyone ... 20 Jun 2008 18:25

Creative Zen Stone MP3 player
Hi When I plug this device into the USB port of a Suse 10.3 system, the system recognizes the device and I can move files backwards & forwards without a problem. However, the device will not re-charge its batteries while it's plugged in. This is the first media device I've come across that won't do this, my iPod... 20 Jun 2008 14:18

openSUSE 11.0 - NVIDIA repository
Anyone else have trouble installing the NVIDIA drivers from the repository? This was the the "G10" driver on an i386 install. Worked fine with openSUSE 10.3 but with 11.0 I was unable to load the nvidia.ko module. I downloaded the drivers from NVIDIA and they installed just fine. -- Stephen Chadfield ... 23 Jun 2008 09:37
