General :: OpenSUSE 11.4 KDE Not Installing?
Jul 6, 2011
Install process gets all the way through to the point where it's copying files from CD to hdd. As soon as it gets to 100% my screen goes blank and it freezes up like that. The monitor then goes into standby mode, like it normally does when not connected to the computer (the green LED turns to orange). There is no command line or anything, I have to press reset button at this point. I can run live from the CD though.
Tried the Check Install Media feature and it gives a readout that md5sum is ok
md5: 62210a3034990b44bad86e8d2d69a271 **I have absolutely no clue on how to do this md5sum stuff, especially in Windows XP, so I just skip doing it and go right to burning CD/DVD**
Media is OpenSUSE 11.4 KDE liveCD on a Memorex CD-R 52x, burned at 8x (lowest I was able to go)
Hardware is: Pentium 4 with HT @2.8GHz, 1.5GB DDR, GeForce 6200 graphics (AGP)
Running Window XP Pro on main hdd
Should I figure a bad burn or something related to the CD-R I burned? In which case easy fix is to just download the DVD version and burn that (should have been my first choice I know). Or possibly an incorrect setting in BIOS? There is an option for OS/2 or Non OS/2, maybe its set wrong? I believe its currently set for Non OS/2 which was the default.
**The system I'm installing to is listed in my signature, which lists all the hardware I'm using.**

I have a bit of a "problem" you can say. I have a computer with no cd/dvd drive nor a floppy drive. It does however have USB ports and ability to boot from LAN or USB-FDD, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD in the Bios setup menu.
I've been searching for a way to install openSUSE 11.2 on this computer using a flash drive I have but I'm not being able to even after following a number of suggestions from posts on the internet.
Anyone have any idea on what I should do?

Just patching my PC until I get a new one next year. My Yast is a trainwreck. Not very good at working with the terminal. Here is a screen shot of some commands I copy and pasted from another forum. I have flash unzipped on my desktop. /home/sam/desktop the extracted file is called libflashplayer.so
sam@linux-kzhj:~> rpm -qa | grep flash
flash-plugin-10.0.45.2-release
flash-player-9.0.115.0-0.1
sam@linux-kzhj:~> install install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz2
install: missing destination file operand after 'install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz2'
Try `install --help' for more information.
sam@linux-kzhj:~>
I was told to install as a regular user and not as root. I am running firefox(old) and opera browsers.

I downloaded opensuse from opensuse.org(the DVD), and when I tried to install it gave me an error message. When I saw the file on the mirror, it was 4.7 G, but when I burned it, I did notice it was only 4.2 Gs.
I tried another download and again it was only 4.2 Gs, how or where can I obtain a working installable DVD of OpenSuse?

When I installed openSUSE 11.3 I already had Ubuntu 10.04 installed and I installed these 2 OS's side by side but openSUSE didn't seem to add a Ubuntu menu entry in GRUB boot list So now I can only boot into openSUSE 11.3 and not Ubuntu 10.04. How can I fix this?I found in YaST an option to add extra boot menu entries but i don't know how to use it... or maybe there's also another way i can add Ubuntu entry to my GRUB boot menu?

I have installed openSUSE 11.4, and I really like it compared to other linux versions I've tried, but I find it requires a bit more linux know-how.
Being fairly new to linux, it has been quite the effort to learn but I started getting the hang of things via online support and such. Lately I've been having some problems.
I need linux to run a TCAD program, and it requires some openGL functionality and was giving me errors when I tried entering the software related modeling GUI.
Anyhow, I thought it had to do with my graphics drivers, so I decided to update them via ATI proprietary driver. After doing this, the system booted me into the console rather than X.
I tried numerous online guides on how to fix the issues, by running all sorts of boot commands (nomodset), and I read the graphics driver theory, as well as trouble shooting ATI graphics.
In the process, I also installed a radeonhd-xorg11-something through YAST, and that caused a black screen altogether upon boot. I managed to boot into failsafe with x, and from there I removed it via YAST, however this did not resolve issues. I also deleted any xorg.cionf files in hopes that the system will default back to the radeon driver.
As it stands right now, I can only boot into my system via failsafe mode. I'm keeping the unit off for now as it's probably tired from all the hard reboots I had to do . If someone can help me resolve this issue, I can turn it on and enter any commands required, such as finding out the graphics card, the kernel, the driver currently running, etc and I can post it here.

I installed openSUSE alongside Windows yesterday using the default settings. I had the installer automatically shrink my windows partition and create one for openSUSE. When I boot my computer now, the openSUSE bootloader shows up with options to boot into openSUSE, failsafe openSUSE, windows1, windows2, or windows3. Windows1 and windows2 appear to be the same thing - they both boot into windows, they read the same info for the hard drive, they have access to all the same files. Windows3 cannot start and says that the BOOTMNGR is missing. What are these three different windows options, why are two the same, and why doesn't one work?

after getting the ACL extension and then unpacking I try to phpize, but server comes up with the following error message:wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APC-3.0.19.tgz
tar xvfz APC-3.0.19.tgz
[Code]...
Alternatively I tried pecl install, but with same result. Whats wrong? I have looked in /usr/bin/sed and there is (of course) no file or directory named "sed". What is "sed" and how to recover? Would be nice, if you could give me an indication what to look for.

I probably missed something as I come from 11.2 but I downloaded a few rpm (like opera and crossover).
upon installing I right click, select install/remove software and up comes KpackageKit telling me its going to install the rpm. Fine I think, then a new window opens showing me the progress and I see it's installing loads of items I previously removed. For example I have de nvidia repo but I did the drivers the hard way, KpackageKit now installs the repo drivers again. I removed pulseaudio and nouveau but KpackageKit installs them again while it install the opera or crossover RPM. None of these packages are dependencies for the 2 RPM I want to install and I can easly remove them via yast.
the only way I can seem to be able to install these 2 RPM's without getting all the stuff back I removed earlier is either manually from the command line or I make a repository of a local directory and use yast that way ?

If you are installing the JMF Performance Pack for Linux
* Change directories to the install location.
* Run the command % /bin/sh ./jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin
However, it's #3 that I'm asking about:
3.IMPORTANT: You must finish setting up JMF by following the setup instructions included in the JMF Implementation Documentation.
Then it gives this page: Linux instructions and it talks about:
3. Set your CLASSPATH path to reference the JMF directory. For example,
setenv JMFHOME /home/someuser/JMF-2.1.1e
setenv CLASSPATH $JMFHOME/lib/jmf.jar:.:${CLASSPATH}
4. Set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (shared libraries path) to point to the JMF libraries. For example:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $JMFHOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
I checked for setenv but all I got was the location of the manpages. I would need to run JMF mostly when I make animations using Art Of Illusion.I'm running SuSE 11.4

This is a specific newbie question and a general question. How can I install packages from the SUSE CD? AND if possible can I install ndiswrapper from the CD? I don't have an internet connection on the PC I want to install this on and I assume/hope this particular package is on the SUSE 11.2 CD.
If ndiswrapper isn't on the CD whats the correct package I should manually download?
I want install this I'd like to keep this thread specific to this issue- I'll open another thread if what I'm trying to do with ndiswrapper doesn't work.

I currently have vbox 2.0.6 OSE and its been running awesome except I get errors with directx when running 3D apps cause of the video card driver that comes with vbox(at least so far thats I narrowed it down to). So, Im trying to update to 3.2.2 but cant seem to find an easy way to do it. I downloaded the RPM for OpenSUSE 11.1 from Sun's website and when installing it I got errors about files conflicting with the previous version. So I ran a "zypper rm vbox" to remove the current one and then ran the RPM again and it seemed to finish the installation fine, I just cant find it to run it.I currently have the 2.0.6 version installed again just so I can use it... but now am back to trying to get 3.2 installed before looking in another direction.

I'm installing 11.3 from USB stick. I went through the partition screen, etc and it did not mention anything about any data or other stuff on the harddisk. but when I got to the "Live Installation Settings" page, it shows the booting sections as:
+ openSUSE 11.3 (default)
+ openSUSE 11.2 - 2.6.31.12-0.2 (/dev/sdb2)
+ Linux Other
+ Failsafe -- openSUSE 11.3
how do I blow those others away? I want them erased aand don't want them in grub or "installed around", rather, I want it "installed over" them. Also, the "Linux Other" is the USB stick. Is it a problem to have that?

There's a web application that I want to use that requires PDO_Mysql to be installed. I have mysql itself installed already.How can I verify whether or not I have this module? And if I don't have it, how do I install it? I tried searching for pdo_mysql and pdo-mysql in Yast2, but it returned with no results.

I'm having issues installing Moolde on OpenSuse 11.3. I've downloaded the package but I get missing dependency issues like no mimtex needed and then after I resolve that I get a heap of missing pearl stuff. So do I assume then that the moodle package isn't a complete install even though I found it on the open suse site? Can I get a complete list of what's missing or what I should be installing when I install my open suse 11.3?

I have just been given a VPS to have a play with. Its got Open SuSE 10.0 installed and I have root and SSH access.
Ideally Im trying to install a desktop manager (Gnome ideally), so that I can setup something like VNC and using a graphical interface (I assume this is possible?).
Working on the assuming that it is possible I whats the best way to proceed? Installing YUM to install gnome and a vnc-server?
I found some instructions here, however im not sure if they are accurate: Bob and the Knowledge Factory / Install VNC in VPS server with Gnome

Actually I've an problem with openSUSE 11.1. After I had installed it, I added the display driver (ati) by using the Yast repository. And now KDE doesn't starts anymore, there's only a black screen (not even the terminal).

Bluetooth was working in KDE 4.1 in openSUSE 11.0 with no problems. I install openSUSE 11.1 and now the bluetooth icon that should show up in the system tray no longer shows up. If I hit Ctrl + Esc I can see kbluetooth4 in "System Activity". All that's changed is I did a fresh install (I don't do upgrades) of openSUSE 11.1 with the same KDE I was running in 11.0. I would like to know what's broke even if I can't fix it. I hate not knowing why something isn't doing what it's suppose to be doing.
