I tried to install the Ati drivers for my Ati mobility radeon 3450 hd, on OpenSuse 11.2. The installation failed, and i don't know why. The big problem is that since that moment, when I restart, the mouse is vanished. I can use it but i can't see it. How I have to do?

I'm attempting to install Suse 11.3 on a recently acquired laptop. For some reason, realcrypt no longer appears to be available in any repository. A package search fails. A search on rpm.pbone.net shows a few rpms on a server that no longer exists.This is a crucial application. I have a number of realcrypt encrypted volumes that contain important data. Can someone tell me how I can get this application back, or point to a compatible replacement?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI normally run 11.3 with the desktop "folder view" but thought I would try something different - I think it was the search and launch view. After playing with it for a while I wanted to change back but found that right clicking on the desktop no longer launches the usual menu. If I change to "netbook form" rather than desktop, the menu is there, but even rebooting has not fixed the problem.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using slackware 12.1 for some time now and this morning (kind of the first day of my winter break) I decided to fix an old USB pen drive to save some docs... (bad idea #1). I had some trouble deleting some files. Slack kept telling me that the files weren't there, so (probably not the smartest decision ever) I decided to "format" the tiny thing. (bad idea #2). Cfdisk wouldn't do it and I ended up on fdisk. (bad idea #3). I thought I was formatting 4 partitions in the same pen drive which now I think might have been my four usb ports. After that, no USB Ports are working at my computer at all. I even boot slackware 13.1 from a dvd and still couldn't get any USB working. Rc.hotplug is nowhere to be found.
At the end of dmesg, I get:

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been experimenting with Ubuntu and created a folder a couple of days ago, and messed around with the permissions so that only 2 of us had access to the folder. Must point out that i am a newbie to Linux... so in all likelihood, I screwed it up. Today when i went to search for the folder, it seems to have vanished i tried searching for it, but came up with nothing, i even searched for some of the documents that i have in that folder, and also came up with nothing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI had just gotten dual boot to work yesterday (had tried both OSs and they both worked). Then I went into Ubuntu to install apps. When I was done, I tried to load windows again and it told me there was a problem that needed to be fixed with the recovery disk. I put it in, it fixed the problem and windows started. Then I did some routine windows updates and now the MBR seems to be gone.I have to restart by holding off for 5 secs. Is there some way to restore the grub from the Ubuntu live installation disk?

There is no icon in Documents (where he said he saved it) other than a zip file which doesn't have it in it. The only place I can seem to try to open it from is in OpenOffice itself under "Recent Documents", but when i click on it, it says "filename.odt does not exist", and i cannot right-click to open it with another word processor. I don't have backups enabled I noticed in OpenOffice's settings, but surely the document is somewhere! I checked in the trash but it's not in there. It's very important and he spent hours and hours on it, it would be terrible to try to write it again. I am very unfamiliar with the Ubuntu operating system as I myself have Windows 7,
View 9 Replies View Related[URL]... Screenshot above kinda explains what's happened, I have no window title bars so cannot move windows, or close them without going down to the bar at the bottom and right clicking which is very very inconvenient. I was playing with options in CompizConfig, which is what I think caused the problem, but I can't find a way to reset it to defaults at all so I'm kinda stuck with it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe internal microphone never worked, but external worked fine through the input jack with all programs, including Skype.Then, I noticed that the mixer no longer had a microphone control (including in alsamixer). No recording program would work any more, BUT - Skype still worked! OK, so the only program that needs sound input that I use is Skype, so I just left it that way. But now I downloaded a newer version of Skype, and ran it, and my microphone was dead. So I went back to the old version, which used to work fine, and the mic is dead in that too. To make sure it wasn't a setting, I moved the whole .Skype directory out of the way. Still no sound at all from the mic. when I did the Skype test call.
The hardware must be OK, as I am a heavy Skype user and had no problems. Simply running the newer version killed it instantly, and i cannot get it working again. I don't understand why the microphone input control is no longer available. No mixer program can see it. It used to be there, but then there it was, gone!

I'm not very familiar with Xubuntu, but I looked under XFCE System Settings (or something similar) and found a "Panels" option; however, clicking on this does not open the panels dialogue.
There is a second user account on the machine. The panels on that are unaffected and I can open the panels dialogue from the XFCE System Settings.

This server (running suse 11.1) was approaching a year of uptime when last night it became unresponsive @ max cpu and was given a hard reset. Suddenly mysql no longer works, it fails to secure a socket and shuts down. The error log says it can't load a bunch of stuff in /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/ because there's no such directory, then aborts after the unknown option --skip-federated. If I comment out skip-federated in /etc/my.cnf mysql will start, but users get access denied--I can't say if the same is true for root, I don't have root credentials for mysql.
This is all very funny because I need to finish/present my final project in a few hours and also happen to be the server admin, yet haven't been able to dig myself out of this hole, 5 hours has produced virtually no progress.
I upgraded to openSuSE 11.4 using the DVD. 11.3 used KNetworkManager which is broken in 11.4 and Novell now urges people to use plasmoid-networkmanagement. This is contained on the DVD, I have definitely seen it in YAST when I checked whether KNetworkManager is installed (and it is listed in [URL]
Consequently I now wanted to install the plasmoid-networkmanagement, but it is gone: neither YAST nor zypper list it anymore I dug around in all search modi but it is never listed -- seemingly gone for good from the DVD.
Before this I installed Gnome (and some other goodies) and tried the network management here (didn't work either). I then asked LQ [URL] and did some google-ing. So now I know that I should use the plasmoid-networkmanagement -- which I can't reach anymore.
I deleted the DVD-repository and added it again, using first YAST, then zypper.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy system currently runs mdadm with three mirrored volumes (4 disks, two mirrored partitions on the first two (a) and (b), entire disks mirrored on the second two (c) and (d)), giving me some redundancy in case of disk failure, which it appears I now have. The root volume is mirrored on sda1 and sdb1, and this morning I noticed a mail from mdadm telling me the two RAIDs on (a) and (b) were degraded. It appears things went a step further and /dev/sda is completely gone.
mdadm has come through, though. The system is still running normally with the mirrored partitions on disk (b). What's got me concerned is that disk (a) is only about a month old and was bought brand new. I'm not at home right now to check the actual hardware, but seeing as the signs are pointing this way, do they necessarily mean the disk has failed? Is there something in the logs I could check that would tell me if, say, the PCI SATA card is playing up instead? I know hard disks fail, but I'm paranoid in case tings get worse as I'm running a reasonably important website on this machine, and just wondering if I should be considering setting up a backup server in case there's a bigger problem here. Edit: Sorry, forgot to say. I'm running Squeeze and it's fully up to date. Hardware is a 1.2GHz Celeron, 512MB RAM, Silicon Image SiI 3114 PCI SATA Controller, 2x 500GB SATA disks (a and b), 2x 1TB SATA disks (c and d).
I tried to build a HP DL380 today, and the drive wasn't detected. Suspecting hardware issues, I tried it on a 360, same issue. We built these machines before with no problems I used the 8.10 install on our PXE server, and it worked fine. I suspect it's related to the upcoming 8.04.4 release, perhaps a new kernel has been inserted and has missed the cciss driver? Booting using 8.04, and running find /|grep cciss, doesn't find anything. I can't remember the last hp 8.04 build I did, but it was in the last month or so. Doing it with 8.10 finds the driver. (this is the 32 bit install)

when i first installed 10.04 the colour of the background colour of menu shortcuts was purple. e.g. the highlighted part of the menu you get by right clicking on the desktop was purple. this was with the ambiance theme that is the set default with 10.04.since the last few updates, i realised that this purple colour background has disappeared ! now, the background colour of the highlighted menu is off white which is the default setting of the radiance theme.so what's happening and how do i get the purple colour again ?
