opensuse 11.1 on laptops + hard lock

dear all,
i have been using opensuse for a long time, and in my laptop opensuse 11.0 was worked fine, then i updated to 11.1 and it started showing strange behavior.
(my laptop is acer ASPIRE 5052 NWXMI)

here are the problems i face

1.Most of the time there will be a hard lock, and i had to force off, by pressing the power button.
2.sound become very low.

fooling around with the first problem, by disabling some wireless modules, some how i managed to get the machine up

i found that whenever i start X window, it makes a hard lock.
so every time i had to push the powerbutton for 20 sec to switch of and reboot again.

did anyone experienced a same kind of problems??
funny thing is i installed suse11.1 to a new sony vaio laptop,
(vaio VGNCS115J) as soon as installed cheese, it locked the X, for some time i could move the mouse. keyboard dead.
and sound very low
so i disabled wireless and webcam modules and graphics is up

did anyone had the same problem?
will installing the security update solve the problem?

if needed, i can upload my lsmod, lspci and dmesg outputs.

my next aim wil be to compile a custom kernel and if doesnt work i had to stick with slackware.

please !! any help is appreciated
regards

I have openSUSE-11.1 running fine on my Dell Studio 15 laptop. No hard lockups.

Could it be that you have a problem (in both cases) with your graphic driver, causing X not to come up properly? Do you get the hard lock with safe settings (fail safe) ?

thank you,
oldcpu, that you responded to the thread.
i dont feel like going to 11.0 again, so please help me out.

Even 10.3 and 11.0 worked well on this laptop. :expressionless:
i installed 11.0 on a dell machine, and everything worked, even the web cam.

safe setting also caused hardlock in the vaio laptop, which is having an intel graphix

my acer laptop has an ati graphics, here is the lspci

sometimes, when i pressed the power button, it got hard lock. i think there is a problem with acpi too

I am just a regular user, and by no means am I knowledgeable in this area.

But what might help the knowledgeable users, is for each of your laptops with this problem, for you to list:
a. laptop model/manuf # (which you have)
b. graphics (ie manufact/model# - don’t force users trying to help to dig into your lspci if you can give a quick summary)
c. what graphic driver you are using (vesa? openGL ? proprietary? and if proprietary, then what version ? )
d. anything non-stock that you may have done to xorg …
e. which desktop you are using, and anything non-stock that you may have done to your desktop (such as updating kde-4.1.3 to 4.x or something like that).

hi,
while installing opensuse 11.1(openSUSE-11.1-DVD-x86_64.iso),only the welcome screen comes and then the system hangs…
i pressed Ctrl+Alt+F2 …the cursor stop after the line…
starting udev… udevd-event[71]: “sbin/modprobe” abnormal exit

i tried to reinstall it ,but this time i changed the kernel option from DEFAULT to NO ACPI…
everything was working fine …,i aborted the installation to find out the consequences of installing opensuse 11.1 with NO ACPI…

if possible can u tell me my present problems with MODPROBE ,ACPI…and how could i solve them…

My system configuration…
ASPIRE 5052nmxmi
AMD TURION 64X2 MOBILE TECHNOLOGY
ATI RADEON Xpress 1100
1GB RAM

THANKS IN ADVANCE…

plz help me slove this problem…

thank you all
finally i figured out the problem.
when i tried a new account it worked

first i checked with root account and then i found that it wasnt hardlocking. so i created a new account and there is no more hard lock.

probably some configuration file in home dir might have caused the problem. or some temporary files in /tmp corresponding to the user might have caused the problem.

now i am happy

hello adityag,
i have the same laptop as yours, but i installed x86 version of opensuse11.1. actually i upgraded from 11.0 where everything was working. but sound was less

now i tried configuring sound and it is too low. regarding acpi, i have no pro with acpi, without acpi we may have some problem,

have you installed suse on your machine??
install using no acpi, later on if needed we can use apm for the power management.
u can use the brocken module option to stop loading unwanted modules, any way install suse first.
regards

now i have problem with my sound.
can it be fixed??
here is the details

i tried putting various model options but nothing works.

What sound problem? No sound? Low volume? Scratchy sound? Sound that skips? Sound only in some applications? No system sounds? … I’m not very good at guessing.

This is a definite syntax error IF you are actively trying to apply a model option in this example of your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file. You should only apply one model option at a time, and having a # in front simply comments out the model option. … I’m not clear as to what you are trying to illustrate? Also, it is important you do not keep backup files in /etc/modprobe.d directory, as they could be mistakenly run as well to “mis-configure” your sound.

In order for me to help with sound, I need the URL provided by running the script:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
just the URL. None of the other stuff.

I also need to know what sound related/relevant rpms you have installed, …ie the output of:
rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound

dear oldcpu,
i forgot to mention the problem correctly.

  1. sound : low sound, very difficult to hear.

  2. the commented lines are commented itself, i tried both the model options, it showed junk dmesg errors and didnt even shown the /cat/proc/asound cards

and why it is taking codec#1 as Realtek ALC883, ?? will this have any effect.

  1. about details : my previous post have few details, this details are withot the model options

  2. i.)kerenl - 2.6.27.7-9-pae
    ii.)Alsa driver: 1.0.17
    Alsa lib: 1.0.18
    Alsa utils: 1.0.18

  3. here i have the tslasa output(first few lines)

i dont have laptop with me right now. tomorrow i will bring the laptop, so that i can send the complete details.

earlier with 11.0 sound was reasonably ok. not like in windows.

i think it may be the problem with, the new pulse audo stuffs, anyway i am not familiar with this pulse audio…

i wil give the details tomorrow
regards

Typically with Low sound, most of the time one just needs to go to YAST > HARDWARE > SOUND > OTHER > VOLUME and move the volume levels there for both PCM and Master Volume up very very high. Then close YaST. Then open one’s Mixer, and move the volume levels there (for both Master and PCM volume) up high to a satisfactory level.

it seems like this card should work properly.
if nothing works i will reinstall new alsa, and follow this link

the card is listed here
Matrix:Vendor-ATI - AlsaProject
here is the details for sb450
Matrix:Module-hda-intel - AlsaProject
i suppose it should work properly,
any help is appreciated
regards

yes i already put it in its maximum, anyway let me try again!!

any idea why codec#0 is not Realtek ALC883 ???
will it cause any problem??

I’m waiting to see these details, and will make recommendations based on that.
