Hi, and thanks for the time spent on this.
I´m really new on the Linux/opensuse world. I’m starting to learn all about this secure world and I’m really exciting.
I started to install my OpenSuse 11.0 but my touch pad is not working fine, sometimes doesn’t respond fine. I don´t know where I can change the driver.
Another issue is I don’t have any sound, again, I don´t know where can I fix it.
Hi!
as for touchpad, go to “control panel”>“sessions” and uncheck “touchpad”, then reboot. should work.
Please try work your way through the opensuse audio troubleshooting guide.
SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
Also, when testing your sound for functionality, please copy and paste the following sound test into a gnome-terminal / konsole:
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
If that doesn’t work, then you will need to provide more information for users on this thread to examine your Dell’s configuration. In that case, please start by copy and pasting the following diagnostic script into a gnome-terminal / konsole with your PC connected to the internet:
wget http://home.cfl.rr.com/infofiles/tsalsa && su -c 'bash ./tsalsa'
and when prompted for a password enter your root password. Please try to accurately estimate the number of jacks/plug you have when asked (for example, I have 3 i/o sound jacks on my PC), and when the script is complete it will give you a URL. Please post that URL on this thread.
Also, in addition to the above, please copy and paste the following commands one line at a time into a gnome-terminal / konsole and paste here the output of these commands:
rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
Since we’re not sure if the original poster is using Gnome or KDE, and since it was an issue of intermittent or otherwise unreliable control, rather than total absence of control, perhaps something else needs to be tried.
I would suggest checking Yast=>Mouse Model and seeing how many pointing devices are listed besides the touchpad. It would help to remove any extra USB mouse before checking. If there is more than one touchpad listed, remove the second one. Then, in KDE, one can change the settings in Configure Desktop=>Keyboard & Mouse to one’s preferences. If this doesn’t help, then perhaps more troubleshooting is necessary.
