See "perfect" setup http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup

!anybody

Please do not ask if anyone uses, knows, is good with, can help you with or is a guru/expert of <someprogram>. Instead, ask your real question. (If the real question _was_ "does anyone use <someprogram>?"  --- Also: !sicco !research !smartquestion !question

!ask

Don't ask to ask, just ask :) (and try to explain exactly what the problem is, which openSUSE version you're using, on what architecture, etc...) ---

[20:52] <SUSEhelp> Please ask sicco questions: questions that are Specific, Informative, Concise, Complete, and On-topic.

To install the proprietary ATI drivers see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:ATI_drivers - Note: ATi dropped support for the non-HD series in their proprietary fglrx driver, DO NOT install this driver if your card is legacy.

!best

There are often no "best" things, such as filesystems, window managers or Linux distributions. You pick the one you find most suitable/appealing and do not rely on people's "recommendation" as an excuse.

!beta

If you want a stable machine that is easy to setup and relatively problem free, DO NOT use a beta OS! If you are VERY comfortable with Linux/SuSE and wish to help the developers by submitting bug reports, don't mind instability, and understand that many features may not work correctly or at all, then go for it. For support post on the opensuse-factory mailing list

!chat

Offtopic chat (i.e., not related to openSUSE support) is in #opensuse-chat

!codecs

There are several multimedia formats that cannot be included on the openSUSE CDs/DVD because they are proprietary, patented, restricted formats.

We hope you find support needed here. Enjoy your visit. Type: "/msg SUSEhelp !helpme" (no quotes) here for more info how to use our time-saving self-help bot!

!helpme

Welcome to an openSUSE irc support channel. To get help from me you can ask for keywords (factoids) in PRIVATE please with /msg SUSEhelp factoid. To search for keywords try /msg SUSEhelp search keyword.

Please use the SUSEhelp self help bot in private queries when not introducing new users in main channel to factoids & help us keep the channel cleaner by typing ' /msg SUSEhelp factoid' OR '/msg SUSEhelp search some keyword'. THANKS & know SUSEhelp bot is here for all ;-)

!redirector

TarDisk: download.opensuse.org is a redirector. It redirects to mirrors near you. Sometimes it will redirect you to bad mirror and sometimes the redirector itself is down

!sax2

SaX2 is dropped from 11.3 onwards and there's no xorg.conf by default. Auto-detection should "just work" in most cases. If you must configure X use xrandr, krandrtray, gnome display settings, nvidia-settings, ATI catalyst control center etc. depending on your card/driver, or manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ - or as last resort, manually create /etc/X11/xorg.conf
