Out of curiosity, I decided to try the kernel-desktop-base-2.6.35-rc6.15.1.x86_64.rpm downloaded with 1-click install from here
Now my desktop can't even boot and says
Code:
Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HD725016GLA380_GEK830RBTV12MA-part2? (Y/n)
Both options got me nowhere. how to debug this situation?
So ... right now I'm having an issue after I installed ATI Catalyst 10.8 for my GPU HD 5770.Every time I try to boot, it sends me to init3 (I mean text screen). But when I check and try to switch to init5, it tells me that I'm on init5 already.And I'm still stuck on the text screen. However, safemode is still working (yeah I'm on it right now - -").
I installed ATI driver by using this instuction --- openSUSE Lizards � ATI HD57xxx fglrx drivers under 11.3
When i try to install the realplayer in rpm format i get the following error: Subprocess failed. Error: rpm error. Failed dependencies: lsb >= 3.1 is need by RealPlayer-11.0.2.1744-20091006.i586

GNOME and KDE are selected as GUI session.At the login screen, in Session list I saw TWM, and after selected it as login session I couldnt login, and login screen disappear as well. It shows a black screen and the mouse pointer, and I have no idea how to switch to KDE or GNOME since no login screen.

There are also two siblings at the "Contrib" directory level ("Live" and "Update:") and there are no files under them either other than a single subdirectory called "Test" under "Update:". Does anyone know if the updates that used to be available in this repository have moved and, if so, where to? If the repository is no longer required and there is no replacement, I'll simply remove it. I have also noticed issues for several months where the updater applet will go into an "updating" state and never return from it.

What is the name of kernel optimized for server machine? In my case Firebird database + Apache + PHP?
I tried installing the latest NVidia proprietary drivers, but it was epic fail.
OpenSUSE 11.2
It fails with an "unable to compile kernel module" error.
I stupidly overwrote the log file without backing it up. It had a lot of compile warnings, but I didn't see anything that looked like a compile error. I'll try to generate it again.
I am trying to install opensuse 11.2 as DomU on a Host running also opensuse 11.2. When I use a file as destination everything goes well and the installation finishes with success. But when i install the DomU on an LV (Logical volume) with Yast, once the installation finished and the DomU restarts, I get the Error "Boot Loader didn't return any data"
I mounted the LV and I verified the presence of /boot/vmlinuz-xen, /boot/inirtd-xen, menu/lst etc ....

A few days ago yast did update my computer to a new kernel-desktop 2.6.31.12-0.1.1.
My mainboard is an ASUS P4P800-VM with Intel ICH5 chipset. This new kernel is not able, to poweroff my computer. Older kernels were able to poweroff the computer.
How can I roll back to the older kernel? Yast does only offer the recent kernel.
In /boot there are only files of the recent kernel.

I am installing from the scratch a 11.3 on a PC on which previously 11.1 did run flawlessly. (Athlon 3700 with 3GB ram and Asrock socket 939 mainboard. Graphics is Nvidia.

during boot-up on my desktop, running openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4.6.3, there are sometimes (not always) some failed services. Most of the time it is postfix and some other service. Today it is just mcelog. So when I switch to the first terminal by strg+alt+F1, I see that mcelog has failed.The system is running anyway, so I wonder if it is safe to turn them off? I would turn off postfix and mcelog. Do I harm the system with that? Would it boot again, after I have turned them off? Or is it recommended to let them stay as they are?As far as I understood, postfix is just a mailserver, which would be used, if I would run a mailserver on my own. But I don´t. I just read mails, via IMAP... But mcelog? Whats that?

I have installed openSUSE with Gnome3.
I had to install the nVidia proprietary drives so the OS would boot into Gnome3 and not fail safe mode. Without the proprietary drivers installed the display settings said:
Driver: software rasterizer in use
After installing the nVidia drivers Gnome3 works in one monitor, but I would like to be able to use my other two monitors (totaling three with two video cards.)
When I run nvidia-settings to generate an xorg.conf file it hangs, so I used nvidia-xorgconf to generate the xorg file and then used nvidia-settings to configure my extra screens.
This fails with a permissions error, running sudo nvidia-settings fails with the following error:
ERROR:
So, I ran nvidia-settings, saved the settings file to my /home/$USER dir, then copied xorg.conf to /etc/X11/
Logging out and logging back into Gnome fails with the error:
This problem extends to Ubuntu running Gnome3, so my thinking is:
a) Imma id10t and something in my xorg.conf file is wrong,
b) there is an issue with Gnome3/nVidia/Multiple displays.
I would really like to use Gnome3, it works on multiple other machines (ironically all ATI devices) just not the machine I use all day long...
Here is my xorg.conf file as generated by nvidia-settings.

Yesterday I applied the su security patch to my openSuSE 11.2 x86_64 system.After applying the patch, any attempt at su failed, and after rebooting the system earlier this morning any login (root, user, otherwise) fails with a "Permission Denied".Is it possible that the su update somehow messed up my (standard) pam settings?

The problem is that the os will work fine when booted from CD in fail safe mode and can be installed from there but when out of fail safe mode the system begins to boot but freezes and will do nothing more.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have installed openSuSE 11.4 32-bit on my PC. Installation went okay, but when I shut down the system and started later it does not load.
My computers have;
- Intel Pentium Dual Core processors
- Asus motherboards
- Onboard VGA, Sound, NW
- 2 GB DDR2 RAM
- 80 GB SATA HDD

What happens is, the first screen appear (where it instructs to press DEL to go to BIOS), then the system hangs us displaying "Error Loading Operating System". There nothing works, except the CTRL+ALT+DEL. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL, same cycle repeats.
I am an experienced Linux admin and have been using SuSE for many years. My development machine has had every version of SuSE since '02 and although it is a little old, is in good working order. (AMD
2400, 2 gig RAM, 160 Gig IDE disks - SuSE on disk 2) (OpenSuSE 11.1 with the latest kernel works perfectly. This install is on a spare HDD prior to doing a full install on my usual HDD.)
When I try to install SuSE 11.2 from DVD, the load kernel operation hangs at 97% (using both normal and safe kernel), however, I can install from live CD without any problem. I have tried the same DVD on a few "older" machines and had the same problem. I initially thought it was the actual DVD but re-burning has the same problem. I have also tried another DVD writer - same problem.
I have a system running openSUSE 11.2 with Desktop and XEN kernel, as well as Windows 7 (not by choice though...). I have noticed a strange time issue, with Windows 7 and the desktop kernel the time is correct (like for example now: 1:32 PM) but in the XEN kernel it is ahead several hours (6:32 PM). If it was an issue between openSUSE and windows then I would think that it is a problem with the system clock but I don't know what would cause a time issue between kernels like that.
View 6 Replies View Relateddifferences between Kernel Default and Kernel Desktop? I've found some past threads like this link and this other link, and some other google info, which suggest the only difference would be the io scheduler. Also, I see the default grub choice is "Desktop" and not "Default", so I take this as a suggestion to prefer one over the other.
However, my broadcom 4312 wireless only works on the "default" and not on the "desktop" kernel, so I guess there must be other differences. I just want to evaluate which one is the less long-term risk option to go.
When i installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my laptop i just wiped the drive and started over. and set up a crypto_LUKS file system. and everything was working great until i compiled a new kernel. now the new kernel panics at boot up when it tries to mount the file system. i can still boot from the older, generic kernel that came with Kubuntu but i'd really like to get this new one working.
What i did for the kernel was i loaded the settings from my old config file and just removed drivers and made it fit my processor. i really didn't touch file system support. my new kernel is 2.6.35.7.
m-a a-i virtualbox-ose-source doesn't work, every other method I searched failed, I'm using 2.6.38-6.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64
Here the error log:
I tried to update Linux kernel (2.6.39) but after installation procedure PC won't boot into NEW kernel, I get only BLANK screen, but hopefully older kernel works just fine (2.6.38-9), how to fix it, that I can fluently boot into 2.6.39?

But I still don't know what I have done wrong, this is my 3rd time that I try this without any luck, I'm running Centos 5.3 updated. Both disk are the same size.
I am working with linux-source-2.6.30 from squeeze.
The only changes I made in the config file were the processor type, and I disabled CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 to avoid some warnings from udev.
When I tried to build the kernel package, this is what I get:

Searching for this error turned up a plethora of results, none of which seemed relevant.
I see that it tells me to file a bug report, but I'm not sure if that is meant for the Debian kernel team or upstream.
Problem: computer and graphics card had been running for months without problem. For some reason, last night, things locked up...wouldn't think it's related, but happened when I noticed I was locked out of creating new folders on my usb attached My Book storage drive. So, from terminal I tried to sudo change permissions to read/write. Everything locked up. Now, every time I reboot it states needing to use low graphics mode "Screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly."
When I check the error log I see: "(EE) Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module.."(EE) NVIDIA(0): ***Aborting* Screens found but none have a usable configuration. Fatal Server Error - no screens found"
If I try to then start in safe low graphics mode or restart X, I get the Ubuntu splash screen with the 5 dots that turn red to show progress...but nothing ever happens. I can switch to VT 1, login at command line, and type "startx" and then the graphical desktop loads just fine. Video playback, etc. is perfect and fine - not in low graphics mode at all. System seems totally normal.
However, I have to go through these steps each time I reboot. Also, I noticed that when I try to boot from Ubuntu Live CD I can't. I get as far as picking English as a language, then screen goes blank and goes to power saving mode (no signal being sent). This greatly concerns me as even though I have a work around for now - getting to command line then startx'ing - if I ever needed to reinstall from the CD, it seems I can't.
Some info on my pc:Running 10.04 on Compaq Presario SR1950NX AMD 64 GeForce 6150 LE/PCI/SSE2/3DNow! <- believe built onto motherboard on what I can do to fix? Is this a sign that something is wrong with my video card?
After Kernel upgrade, sensors-applet doesn't display the hd temp. To fix the problem I have to remove and after reinstall hddtemp package.
