Since i first installed my openSuse 11.2 on the laptop, I didn't know how much space I'd need for this OS to run. Now I've encuntered the worst - The root prartition is 6GB big and it might run out of space shortly (700MB left).I had Win XP on it but as soon as I learned openSuse to make basic tasks - i removed the ntfs partition.The HDD is 28GB, I have 6GB root, 7,5GB home, 750MB swap (512MB RAM) ans 14,65GB free space off the deleted NTFS.Is there any way to join the partitions, so the root can be 16GB in space and home around 12GB?
Or maybe just make another second /home partition and use a program to allocate the "missing bytes" from root to another partition if it runs out of space?
Is it possible to have fedora 12 join a specific wireless network (my home network) before i login to the gnome enviroment on a standard install? i would like to be able to hit the machine via ssh without needing to be logged in.
My OpenSUSE 11.2 is working fine as samba server, no problems, but I have a problem with KDM.My default init runlevel is set to 5 and every time I try to login at KDM (KDE4), the monitor goes black and returns to the login screen.If I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to console and start /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon manually, press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to KDM login, everything is fine.What do I have to do to fix this issue?
been using 11.2 with KDE on a Sony laptop since 11.2 was released always ran perfect suddenly I can't login, I get to the login screen type in password it begins to load my desktop, then fails and dumps me back to the login screen I can login as root, all my stuff is there (under /home/me) I tried changing my password, no luck I went to run level 3 and there I can login just fine seems to be something with my KDE profile any ideas where I might find some error messages telling me what's going on?
this seemed to happen when I was running "blender" and making the machine do some heavy number crunching, it actually locked up.
i am having a boot problem with opensuse.i installed a theme named suse-elegant under personal settings(configure desktop)-system administration-login screen.
i had also added vbox users(i ticked vboxusers) under yast-security and users-user and group management-edit-details to make virtual box work.
i want to check that installed theme so i restarted my laptop.after the restart opensuse taking too long time to boot
note:the login theme also not working.
after the boot i restored defaults in login screen themes.it is also not working.
i don't know which cause this problem(vboxusers or login theme).i am also seeing a root user has been added in my login area.i tried opensuse failsafe also.
when I get into the login page, I can only see the background and the login box in the middle of the page just turns whole white and keeps flashing. no response for any clicks. I was force to ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to init 1 to do my work. But I still want to use my graphical desktop either KDE or Gnome is ok. I am using gnome.
I want, when I boot up, to load and log-in automatically a default user. I get a login in screen with the option to login as root, I do not want this. How do disable the option to login to X as root and just load as me/default user?
Every account every option I try. when I login, it just cycles back to the login screen. I have attempted to do a repair install, but to no avail. it happens when I try to boot normally or if I boot into failsafe.
The graphical login screen is loaded just fine. Though very shortly after (a moment after the loading screen could be seen) it crashes back to the graphical login. And that happens no matter what wm I'm trying - gnome, kde3, kde4, e16, e17, even twm.
It happened after the logout after a zypper up yesterday morning. Looking through the list of what packages were upgraded (two machines, both last zypper up'ed last Sunday, checked on the second one after the problem with the first one), the only packages which might be responsible are kwin or qt4.
The graphics card seems to be fine (NVidia 9600), as it happens whether or not I use nv or the propietary driver. Also tried reinstalling it from the repo as well as using the binary blob from NVidia. Has been tested on Windows and games are running fine there, so it shouldn't be the card.
What is strange, is that when calling upon sax2 -r from runlevel three, the initial screen loads nicely, but sax2 crashes back to the cli once one presses 'Change Configuration'. No error messages are being printed.
Any pointers on how I can narrow down the cause (and get it fixed)?
when i login to openSUSE a window named login keyring appears and it asks me root password. it happens everytime when i login. how to fix this problem?
I, I want to join to partitions, one of them is a primary partition sda3 ( 10Gb), but the second one is an extended, sda10 ( 10GB ). Can I make somehow to see them as a 20Gb partition without touching the other partitions?
I am starting a MCSE course and part of it is to create and configure a domain etc etc I have done this and all my windows XP and 7 machines on my LAN are now functioning as part of the domain just great.
Unfortuntely, I have several Open suse machines which are currently not part of the domain yet (they are in a basic Workgroup).
get these computers onto the domain so that a user can log on using their domain credentials and I can apply security policies and what not?
I have too many problems to join my OpenSuSE 11.2 with Samba 3.5.4 in a Windows 2008 Active directory Forest (MYDOMAIN.LOCAL). I have updated Samba to 3.5.4 after read that default 11.2 version have too many bugs. Now, when I try to join the Domain MYDOMAIN.LOCAL via yast i have only an undebuggable error "unknown error". For yast, my Suse is joined but i'm unable to authenticate, i can't see "MYDOMAIN.LOCAL" at KDM login and if i try to lookup forest i have this error:
Code: wbinfo -u Error looking up domain users but i'm able to retrive ticket via kinit Code: # kinit Administrator Password for Administrator@MYDOMAIN.LOCAL:
[Code]...
have you a samba version tested against Active Directory 2008? can you link me the repository or help me to solve this?
I have installed VirtualBox and setup a Windows Vista host, initially with a .vdi of 10gb. That filled up quickly, so I added another 20gb secondary partition, after first trying to allocate a .vdi to a SCSI controller. Configured the drive in Windows (Computer Management), and all seemed ok. I shutdown VB, and rebooted my Linux host (openSuse 11.3). Now I keep bouncing back to the login screen, and can't login to Linux KDE, but can login to a console.I do have the following info:
I did see a message before, that I don't see anymore, that said it could not start NFS services due to missing entry in fstab. Another I'm seeing now is it couldn't start the avahi-daemon, no space left on device. This is odd, since I have a 200GB drive, with half of it left, only max 30GB set to VB. Here's my df -k output:
/dev/sda6 Use% is 100% devtmpfs Use% is 1% tmpfs Use% is 1% /dev/sda7 Use% is 46%
So root "/" is mounted on /dev/sda6, which looks like it could be a problem, but why would this suddenly be a problem after working with VirtualBox? Could this be a matter of just freeing up space on /dev/sda6? Like the /tmp folder that's under "/"?

Just installed 11.2 on my Thinkpad T61 and during install the mouse pointer (synaptics) works fine but not the mouse buttons. After the install on every first login the pointer works but not the buttons. If I restart the gui and try to login into gnome again then all works agin. But it always fails on the first login and gnome sessions
when i login, Ubuntu asks to install 3D Drivers for my grapics card. Can i make a script in openSUSE to do this as well? Or even better, check for drivers on startup and then install the drivers for the graphics card on boot.
In the process of installing 11.2 over 10.2 everything goes fine until I reach a login screen. There I provide my previously supplied username and password and the result is logon failed. I have tried the install several times. The result is always the same.Login also does not work from console. Some surfing has provided the suggestion that the old Grub may still exist on the machine. If so, how do I get rid of it?
I install Novell-Client-2.0-sp2-sle11-i586.iso for Linux on My IBM T23 with SUSE 11.2. I test it with Open Server 6.5 SP8 and SUSE Enterprise 11 both have Novell eDirectory 8.8.Know I can't login I get a error message "Module in unknown" can't you help?
I'm using openSuse 11.2, KDE, x64 and, all of a sudden, my user accounts stop working! My first acc, 'bidu' stopped at login. It asked for the pass of kWallet, and then nothing! The screen freezes. So I created another user, 'biduzido'. It worked fine until yesterday -.- Today I can't login with it. I type the pass, the screens turns black and then it shows the login screen again. I can login with the root.
I am running GNOME Desktop on a openSUSE 11.2. I was trying to compile drivers for my intel 945g and suprisingly after a reboot i wasn't able to login as any other user except root. Here are the things that i installed after the file DJz HBK - Step Up 2 - Bounce. And One More Thing After I Updated openSUSE This Error Keeps On Coming on the screen. when i run gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd i get
I just updated my 11.4 installation to the newest KDE 4.6.1 from the KDE46 repos.
But know when i get to the login screen and i write my login information,i will just get a black screen and then get the login screen again.
I think i had the same problem with 4.5 on Kubuntu, and it was solved by reinstalling kde-base (I think, i can't remember) but i tried that from a console login. I can login again if i downgrade to KDE 4.6.0.
when I try to startup the xserver in normal mode iget a message "Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 giving up. xinit: Resource temporaily unavailable (errno 11): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error."
I dont know what this means except that something does not work.
