View 2 Replies View RelatedYes, I was all excited when I plugged in an old dusty PC and found it still alive with a 32 gig hard drive & 260 Megs of RAM with an open slot for more memory, fit for my first Linux system. Then I navigated to device manager and found it was powered by a celeron, which was kind of a bummer.Anyway, can I get by with this setup? I'd like to use the slackware distribution, and my main purpose is to learn to administer a LAN, starting w/ 2 local clients, & a server that also runs Apache.

Im wondering that if this machine is sufficient to run linux as a server I dont plan to use it for anything big just among me and a few friends Also, I dont rlly need any Desktop Environment as I can just ssh to this machine from my other laptops if I need to do any work on it.
Hence, my questions are as follows:
1. is this machine sufficient to run linux as a web/file server for me and a few friends?
2. also, is it okay to rlly run this laptop 24/7? (its a rlly old laptop after all)
3. lastly, altho I prefer using opensuse, but if I dont need any DE at all, would Arch be a better solution? (Its known to be very small and light)
I am using an HCL k38 pdc laptop and I am unable to boot KDE live cd of opensuse 11.4. The system boots to a graphical screen where a progress bar is shown. the progress bar proceeds to about 90% and then my system hangs. ALl I can see on my screen is that graphical image with suse logo and progress bar. Though my mouse works and I can move it all around the desktop but if I try pressing any key (CAPS/NUM LOCK/SCROLL LOCK) i dont see any LED notification for that. this concludes that the system is hanged.
Key board has no issue as I can use it in Windows.
I tried to boot the lice cd in text mode and it worked very fine from there I installed the system on to my HDD in dual boot mode with windows XP. But after installation when I boot opensuse from HDD it stucks at the same position.
I think this issue is with Nvidea graphics card as when the system boots I see an error message that says that the RAM has an address conflict with VGA ROM.
How can I use opensuse. I have even tried ubuntu 10.10 but it also hangs while booting or after booting. So far I have been able to manage only Sabayon Linux working on this machine however the ubuntu 9.10 was working on this system and it also started behaving similarly after I upgraded it to ubuntu 10.04.
For starters, I have a Dell E1505/6400.I had Win XP but it crashed my hard drive, so I installed Ubuntu. After that install, I decided I wanted to change to OpenSuse, so I downloaded the 4.6 Gig .iso file. Downloaded fine, and I burned in ImgBurn...no problems with it. So I popped the DVD into my laptop, hit F12 so I could boot from DVD drive, but the DVD isn't recognized. It goes straight into Ubuntu, and when Ubuntu starts up, it shows up as a blank DVD+R. (That was the 2nd time I burned it, the 1st DVD I burned had the same results.)

I can boot from my 64bit installer LiveCD for KDE, but once I choose Install, after the first selection screen where I can change the default video at the bottom, I just get the openSUSE symbol and it hangs. I have tried all of the options at the first page for video setting or Kernel setting, My system specifications are as follows:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 Q 720 @ 1.60GHz RAM: 4GB DDR3 Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce GT 230M, 1024 MB Dedicated video memory. I should mention that I have currently a dual-boot OS, i.e. Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10. I also checked the burnt CD on another machine and the CD worked. So the problem is not because of the CD. I can't find any info on installing Suse on this notebook.
It's a single core processor but is 64-bit capable according to Intel specs. You can buy Dells with 64-bit Windows pre-installed on computers with these chips, but does Ubuntu 64-bit specifically require two or more cores?

I have a problem with opensuse grub - it cannot see other distros on my laptop (Ubuntu and Mint) and the original grup got glitchy when I recovered it (I couldnt reinstall it with terminal, so I used rescatux to recover it, but I couldnt update it). It works with windows. Is it some kind of bug or osuse isnt compatible with other distros?opensuse: 11.4 64 bit

Here is the Gist:
I want to set up a linux box on a Celeron 1.8 Ghz with a Gig of Ram for the sole purpose of transcoding FLAC to MP3 (also I like to Tinker). I will be accessing the linux box via latop so once it's up and runnign i won't need X or anything Background: I have a freenas server in my basement hard wired to my network. I was able to cofigure Transmission to handle DLing my torrents of Grateful Dead shows.
Usage: I run seperate "media" PC to my stereo in the living room which is connetcted to the network via Wireless G, which is part of the reason I set up freenas to do my DLing. I have and love to death iTunes and my iPhone. I love the Grateful Dead. these two loves cause me to commit the ultimate crime and convert the lovely FLAC Grateful Dead shoes from etree.org to MP3, I convert at 256k though so I'm not THAT bad. the "media" pc is a long in the tooth Athlon XP 1800+ with a gig of DDR ram and win XP pro. It can't handle Transcoding FLAC to MP3 at 256 while performing any other duty such as playing music through my nice stereo.
Need:
I am going to setup a seperate PC to handle the encoding duties. The FLACs are DL'ed to the NAS server, the MP3's will end up living on the Media PC (think iTunes coverflow) I have several ~2ghz single core processor systems laying around as well as enough winXP licenses to just setup an XP machine to run winamp to convert FLAC to MP3 for me, however I realize this is the worst possible way to accomplish what I want done.[URL]..
I've a sony vaio Y21S1E and I can't install opensuse in graphic mode (I got a black screen just after the loading page...). So I installed it in text mode, but on reboot, I have exactly the same problem... I had a look in the logs but I found nothing ... My Xorg.conf seems to be OK (intellegacy)...

The driver is not for the WLAN, but rather for 10/100 ethernet on a Dell Insprion 1720 laptop.
got a new laptop (well, it's 2nd hand) but it's a laptop which is the model up from mine i use suse on already. i have a HP compaq 6720s, and the new one is a HPS 6735s. i've downloaded and burned the 11.4 iso as an image but it just won't load. thought it was maybe corrupt but it works on my laptop which is already running suse. checked in the BIOS and it doesn't seem to mention boot from dvd drive, though it does say cd drive (but it's definitely a dvd drive).
is it possible to install from a usb pen drive? if so, how? fat32 won't take it, as it's too big a file, and will just putting the .iso file on there mean it'll work? what file system should i use? ntfs, ext3/4?
I have an older machine and I wanted to install Ubuntu on it. No luck, so I tried a few other versions, even the little ones like Puppy Linux and Dam small linus. They didn't work either.Then it orcurred to me that a Celeron might need tne AMD version,The machine is a Celeron 334 MZ, 384 Ram.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a new laptop, a Dell D400. I want to swap my hard-drive from my old laptop into the new one, and did so... but then got an error stating that my CPU didn't support PAE.
As far as I was aware I hadn't actually installed a kernel with PAE enabled [as I always pick a real-time kernel for audio work]: but then read that lots of the newer distibutions are enabling PAE by default [which is what's caused the problem].
Is there an easy way of disabling PAE in the existing kernel? Or would it be easier to downgrade to another version of OpenSUSE? I'm on 11.2.
Running OpenSuse 11.2 from live dvd. When it starts up, the screen gets filled with vertical green and black lines, with about a 1 inch square in the middle that moves as the cursor. Nothing else is visible.I've tried each of the video options, with the same result. Is there any solution to this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to installed OpenSUSE 11.2 "i586" on an older Sony Vaio laptop (model PCG-XG9) with 20 GB HD and 128 or 256 MB RAM. There is no ethernet port, but I have a PCMCIA WLAN card "Cabetron RoamAbout 11 Mbit/s", which should work perfectly with any Linux. The computer had Win98 on it originally (which, of course, after all installation attempts is now destroyed). The problem is that I cannot install to the end at all - no matter what I try:
1) Having the disk as a single FAT partition (made by a Win98 installation CD), it appears that the installer cannot create the correct partitions needed for Linux.
2) Having deleted the DOS partition with FDISK from Windows98 - which is like buying a completely new, unformatted HD from a store. But again, it cannot automatically set the partitions...
Is there a manual / instruction page somewhere how I should partition the disk manually (how to do it, and what sizes are recommended for each partition)?
I am trying to install openSuse 11.2 on my laptop which has Windows Vista installed. I don't want to delete my Windows Vista that is installed. provide instructions on how to do this?

View 5 Replies View RelatedInstalled openSUSE into my Thinkpad T410 and noticed that when I closed the laptop lid, the moon icon does not light up.
Reopening the lid and will see a screensaver password screen immediately.
Does this means that the laptop does not have Sleep (or is it called hibernate) mode enable? How can I enable it?
This also happens with Debian that this laptop is dual booted with.
My laptop is a Medion MD 96970 (bought at Aldi in September 2008) with
- graphic card nVidia GeForce 9300M G
- processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz
- 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
- 3GB RAM and 300 GB memory
1) Originally, my laptop came with Windows Vista. Then I got a SUSE linux 11.0 CD, let it make a partition and installed Suse 11.0. Since Suse11.0 isn't updated any further I would like to change to Suse 11.3 (or whatever is newer). How should I proceed? (I can't find my old Windows Vista CDs and would like to KEEP THE PARTITION, thus formating all isn't an option)
2) In order to make a backup I bought a portable hard drive from iomega (USB 2.0). Then I noticed that it is formated in NTFS. SUSE 11.0 doesn't seem to like it --- what should I do? Can I reformat it somehow?
3) Suse 11.0 doesn't like my sound card. Thus I couldn't Skype or listen to music --- do you know if this problem is solved under Suse 11.3?
A few weeks ago I installed Fedora Linux 64-bit on my HP dv4-1428ca laptop which was running Windows 7. At that time I created a Live USB using the fedora-live usb tool and it booted fine. A couple days ago I decided to try out openSUSE, so I downloaded the 64-bit live-cd image and tried to create a live usb using the SUSEStudio ImageWrite provided in the documentation. The tool kept giving me an error message, so I decided to try unetbootin instead. However, when I tried to boot the live usb on my HP laptop, it presented me with the message.
"SYSLINUX 4.04 EDD 2011-04-18 COPYRIGHT (C) 1994-2011 H. PETER ANVIN ET AL" with a blinking cursor and nothing else. I've tried a variety of alternative programs for creating live USB's (pendrivelinux, linux live usb creator, unebootin), and verified the checksum of the iso file for openSUSE 11.4 64-bit, and still was not able to get past the "SYSLINUX..." message on my HP laptop. However, the live USB does boot on the other computers in my house. Interestingly, if I create a live USB using the tool provided by Fedora, it will boot fine. However the Fedora Live USB tool cannot be used for other distros.

AMD Turion X2 Dual Core
4GB Ram
ATI Radeon 3200 Graphics

I would like to create a dual boot Opensuse/Vista laptop. My problem is I do not have a DVD-RW drive, and I am not that good with creating a bootable USB stick. I have read some of the installation guides offered here and attempted to install Opensuse via my USB stick without success. My question is there a setup.exe download offered for Vista users who would like to create a dual boot laptops? I have an 8Gb USB stick that was made "bootable" via some other forums, and I have downloaded the DVD ISO image of Opensuse 11.2 to my desktop.
