I've moved an OpenSUSE disk image to a new system and it boots fine to console mode. Is there a command I can run to re-detect and set all of my hardware settings (video in particular)? I've seen some references to running hwinfo on an individual object basis.
View 1 RepliesI am using openSUSE 11.1. I recently installed an additional hard drive since running out of space. New drive up and running, used Yast Partitioner successfully.
2 questions as follows:
1) New drive still has Windows XP on one of its partitions..Can I easily implement/set up for dual boot?
2) More importantly, I need to move root ("/") of file system to new drive "sdb" since more space available but not certain correct way to do this
Below are listings I think are relevant:
I had a Win7 laptop with Win7 installed on the single internal drive. Attached to this is an eSata external drive.I installed Suse on the external drive. The install is good. I have enabled the Win7 OS in GRUB.When the eSata is plugged in I am able to boot and choose which OS I want.When the eSata is unplugged, the boot fails with the following message:
Code:
GRUB Loading stage1.5.
GRUB loading, please wait...
Error 21
I assume, what I need to do is to move the GRUB install to my internal drive.How do I do this? Indeed can I do this?Or can I re-enable the Microsoft BootLoader and tell this bootloader to load either OS?
I came in this morning only to find that the Intel Core2 hyperthreading Dell machine is dead. It appears the processor is fried.
I have a new white-box X2 system that I will replace the dead Dell with. The X2 (AMD) does not have a hard-drive (HDD) so, I will simply put the SATA hard-drive into the PC.
Some of you may know how to do this, but I don't know where to begin after I get the Hard-drive in. (I know how to move a Windows configuration from one PC to another and handle it as it begins to blue screen (BSOD), but I don't have a clue with Linux)
This system was built with GRUB. At the very least, I expect the GRUB boot managet to surface on the display. But, what next....
I was testing an OpenSuse setup as a server. Nothing fancy and NO applications added. The only customization was the MB's LAN card and the display was set at 1024x768. I had 2 users, root and myself. What would you do? Is there some boot time options that I should follow?
I just got a new laptop and installed 11.1, and I want to move my swap file to a 8GB SD card I have. It seems to run very fast, so it will improve swapping speed. I created a swapfile with Partitioner, and I can delete the existing swapfile with GParted during a reboot - but I'm afraid I will make my system unbootable by doing that - don't I need to first tell OpenSuSE what swapfile (on the new sdb) to use? I'm pretty sure it will detect the new swapfile automatically during boot, but it might choke on a missing (old) swapfile.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIm using suse 11.1 with /home on a separate partition. To move my /home to a larger partition it looked easy to use Yast partitioner. I copied all /home/ files first to the new partition and backed-up fstab.
with Yast I unmounted /dev/sdb6 = /home and mounted it to /local
then unmounted /dev/sda4 = mynewhomepartition and mounted it to /home
checking the new fstab it looked fine but after a restart it did not work and I got an error. resetting the original fstab resetted the system as it used to be. My question is: why does it not work, are there (hidden) files with the old or other settings?.
Ages ago I installed Linux on a "spare" 40GB disk and I don't remember how, but that disk is where I still boot the computer from, in Bios it's listed as a primary master and HD0.
Over the time my installs moved to the "main" disk where it is now Suse 11.3 alongside Windows.
I want to get rid of that original "spare" disk altogether, physically take it out, but don't know how to move the bootloader to the "main" one.
I'm confused by all the options offered in Yast Boot Loader Location menu.
Can I just tell it to put itself into a custom boot partition and point it to dev/sdb, the current designation of the "main" disk?
Would I need to edit Grub as well? I figure the current "sdb" would be called "sda" after I take the old disk out. Would it be safe to simply rename /sdb entries, things like /sdb4 to /sda4 and so on?
Additional question - I used to play with Win7 demo, deleted that now, but its loader still pops up when I boot into Windows with their "earlier version of operating system" menu. Their offered solution is to run "mbrfix" from a WinXp recovery CD.
My question - what would that mbrfix do to the Linux bootloader and how can I get it to point back to to Grub afterwards?
During install process I assigned only 6GB for my root partition and now I'm almost running out of space. I have 11.1 installed and I wanted to update to 11.3 but there are problems with i855 video card with newest distro versions so I won't install it. Since everything is installed and configured I don't want to install 11.1 again.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat is the correct/safe way to move from upstart to systemd? I originally installed upstart in 11.3 and have now upgraded to 11.4. Having successfully upgraded to 11.4 I tried to use yast2 to install systemd and systemd-sysvinit onto my running system. Yast correctly identified that upstart should be deinstalled as a prerequisite for installing systemd-sysvinit.
After the install of systemd the system wouldn't shut down, and on a reset the system reported many systemctl/start service timeouts on things such as mounts and ttys. Eventually the system started an X-windows KDM login, but there were no console ttys and mounts were missing. I used X/kdm to login to root - phew! - I restored / from an rsync backup I'd made prior to the changes, so I'm back in business with upstart. I'd like to tidy up and move to systemd - I going to have a nose around myself, perhaps I will try switching back to sysv init and then going to systemd - but I have to wait for the machine to be idle before I experiment, any info in the mean time would be great.
I am runnig WinXP and OpenSUSE 11.4 on dual boot.Generaly i am using SUSE, XP only for UpNP Media Center(server) to watch movies stored on my computer on TV via STB.For this i am using TVersity for wich i not found yet Linux alternative - or better say - i found it but is too heavy for my PC(P4 1.6 Mhz, 768 MB RAM, an dinosaur from Nvidia Vanta with 64 MB RAM)But this is not a part of my question.My question is how to transfer(copy, move...?) files from SUSE to WinXP?A large files like avi, mkv, mostly movies.I solved this to copy them on USB and then from USB to Win.This is a very slow proces because my PC have only USB 1.0And before asked me - all files are legaly downloaded from paysites.From SUSE, partitions(disks), folders and files under WinXP are visible but is not possible to copy files on them - acces is denied.Is there any way to do this?Suse is insatlled on LVM - /root/home/swapI am interesting ONLY to copy files from SUSE to Win, not at al from Win to SUSE.Code:

I think this function (Move to Trash) was working fine this morning. What it happened?... Maybe "Move to Trash" files in a pen drive was the cause of the problem.
For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / Gnome 2.30.2.
I have two applets on my Gnome panel -- NetworkManager Applet 0.8, and Klipper (it works better than Glipper) -- that I want to move.
HOWEVER, right-clicking the panel icons does not enable me to move these applets, as follows:
- NetworkManager Applet 0.8 does not include a Move item in its list of options.
- Klipper displays a long list of Klipper options but no Move option.
How I can move these items to new locations on the Gnome panel?
I've googled and searched and don't see any instructions for how to move to kde from gnome. As nearly as I can tell, my 11.2 installation only includes Gnome: when I boot the computer I get no option to pick the desktop. When I look in Software Mgr, there are hundreds of KDE apps. I'm sure I don't need or want to install all of them--my GNOME installation only includes some of the apps in the GNOME group. But where do I find which I need? Or is there a shortcut that would be comparable to having installed KDE along with GNOME originally?
I'm not really wanting to switch to kde, just to use some kde apps--particularly quanta. While quanta seems to load OK, I can't open the quanta handbook, for lack of khelpcenter, or go to the quanta homepage from the helpmenu for lack of kfmclient. Yet neither of those apps is listed in the kde desktop group in the software manager.
Can I find a way to install the version of KDEPIM 4.3.5 used in 11.2 if I use Opensuse 11.4 or later ?
I really don't like the newer versions of KDEPIM that don't have functional distribution lists.
Is there any plan to move Opera 11 to an openSUSE repo? It came out a few days ago and I'm wondering if it will be included in "non-oss" or in "updates"?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using the Pandora One app. on my opensuse 13 installation and two things have come up.
1st, (almost certainly because it's an Adobe Air container) I can't right-click on the title bar and move the app. to another workspace like I can with every other app. Is there a workaround like a key press combination or something?
2nd, and I am not sure if this is specifically a Pandora issue some combination of apps. but sometimes (most noticeable when Pandora is running) all my apps. just "freeze" for many secs. (perhaps about 10-20 secs.) and then suddenly all my clicks and key presses catch up. I have a 2.6Ghz quad core duo CPU and it doesn't look anywhere near at 100% on any of the cores when this happens (more like 10%). It seems like there's some sort of a "lock" preventing all internal messaging in X for those seconds. If there was a way to lower the thread priority on the Pandora app. then that might be a good way to resolve this but I have no idea how to do that.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis question concerns the system panel/launcher panel / the panel with the launcher that normally appears across the top or bottom of the screen. The default system panel layout was nice, but, I screwed it up by accidentally deleting the task manager. I put the task manager back but now my clock & system tray are to the left of the task manager, and, I can't just drag things around. Is there a trick to organizing the widgets on this panel or is it broken? Every time I try to move something, it basically ignores me and adds it to the right of everything else.

i just installed openSuse and i have very little experience with linux OS. I used this guide to setup my two monitors and they are both running ok but i have the following problem:My mouse pointer can go to the second monitor without a problem, but i can't move a window there. When i move the window to the edge of the screen it just resizes it. it doesn't move it to the next screen.

I have four computers hooked up via a KVM. On all of them except the computer in question the video is displayed properly. They all are Nvidia cards. I ran SaX2 but it doesn't have any way of tweaking the video over that I can see. I haven't installed the nvidia package yet but it doesn't have it either. Hitting the auto adjustment on the monitor every time I select this machine on the KVM isn't the answer. How do I get to the old video adjustment screen?
I have a script that moves files after 60 days from the FTP folder over to a trash folder which is not accessible by the FTP. From there I can delete the files whenever the drive get's full. That works fine so far.
The only thing that bothers me is that files moved to ".Trash" are not in any folder structure anymore (one big directory with the deleted files in it).
When I do a "ls -la" on the array {} I see the file names including the folders. I'm not sure if the find command or the mv command forgets about the directories.
This is the script: bash -c 'date;find /Volumes/data1/test/ -mtime +60 -type f -exec mv {} /Volumes/data1/.Trash/ ;;date' >> ~/mylog
If I do this, there will be two computers I'd like to hook up to the one satellite modem (mine and my moms). What would be best to use, a router or a splitter or...? Will it be very difficult to setup in opensuse 11.3? Any thoughts on the ease of this whole idea? (The area I live in has no cable, no DSL and even cellphone service is so limited I have to walk around in 4 acres to find a spot to get a signal, hence my wanting to move to satellite internet).
