Suse 9.1 Pro Update from 9.0 Pro - experiences
This must have been about the most painless update I've ever had.
1) Save user data from /HOME 2) Re-install system as a NEW system 3) restore user /HOME directories. Problems encountered 1) -- Sound with WINTV card -- easily fixed when you select LINE as input and select the OSS option 2) -- DVD playing --- UNINSTALL all the XINE stuff and re-install LIBDVDCSS, LIBXINE1, W32CODEC, XINE-UI in that order from http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ Don't forget after installing to turn DMA ON otherwise you'll get jerky video. Also you might have a permission problem --works fine as root --ensure your DVD is mounted and readable. 3) OKLE DVD player I don't think this is available yet for KDE 3.2 -- doesn't matter as XINE works fine 4) Wireless networking -- I'm using the drivers from Linuxant. Didn't work until I installed the suse 9.1 fix from their site 5) User fonts etc not very good -- deleted users and KDE files and then re added them AFTER installation. Added Microsoft Truetype fonts. 6) There's a bit more choice in the screen design etc but it's fine once you've figured it all out. Note --TIP --- if you have NVIDIA do the ONLINE update during installation if you can. Kernel 2.6 feels nice and snappy. Am Satisfied with the whole process. Normally updating a distro is a real pain --this one was essentially painless. |
Quite similar to my own. Xine works fine, yes. But everytime a dvd playback starts I have to tick the option "deinterlace video". Can't it be set to deinterlace by default?
