OpenSUSE Install :: Easiest Way To Properly Install OS?
Apr 12, 2011
I have a desktop with a 640gb HD and a 2TB HD. I have windows 7 installed and a couple of other partitions. My 2nd HD, the 2TB drive is my F: drive. I want to create a 100GB partition for SuSE 11.4 abnd install it. however, during the install SuSE wants to shrink the volume and I don't want to use but 100GBH. What is the easiest way to properly install the OS? I am not real familiar with resizing and creating the root / , and swap etc.

Is this the best & easiest way to create a bootable usb drive?Live USB stick - openSUSE.I should follow the Linux instructions and then a create a partition with remaining space on the usb drive.I'm looking to do this when 11.3 comes out. My main focus is to create bootable usb drives to stop wasting cd/dvd's that lay around and pile up; right now we have no recycling center for old cd/dvds without shipping them out by the cost of the consumer. Learning to create a bootable usb opensuse will reduce my waste of old distributions. I ran the Ubuntu usb installer, which graphically does the work for you, so the opensuse looks a little more like work, but manageable for the simple user?

My system configuration is: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz, 2Gb of RAM, Nvidia Geforce 9400 GT, Tv tuner Winfast PVR2000 XP Expert (autodetected according to the installer)
I never had a problem while installing openSUSE untill openSUSE 11.4.
All goes well while installing and configuring the network card, sound and even display(under nouveau). The problem is at the tv tuner. After i adjust some settings to it and pres OK so that the installer can save the settings all goes wrong. The installer freezes and i have to reboot the pc.
After repeating the configuration procedure and skiping this step, configuring the tv tuner using Yast this time, leads to the same thing: desktop freezes and i had to reboot because nothing is reponding anymore.

After I've installed OpenSuse i don't get to desktop, instead i get to this: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting
And that's all i get. If i login i just get to do commands. I'm a first timer so I have no freaking idea what I'm doing wrong. I just want to get to desktop.

how can i restart properly X and kde?
Use case: I've update my system, with some X and kde. I don't want to restart, so i go to vt1, login as root, and type "init 3". X and kde shutted down. After i type "init 5" to get back everything.
But if i logout vt1, X and kde are also gone. I know that's normal, but i want to start X and kde as they start on boot. It's the same with a normal account and "startx" or "startkde"

I am running into a problem with my xen installation. So far I have:
- installed 11.4 64bit
- installed hypervisor and tools (I created br0)
- boot into xen kernel
- run a zypper update
My current configuration is:
Linux linux-c7sq 2.6.37.6-0.7-xen #1 SMP 2011-07-21 02:17:24 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
using patterns-openSUSE-xen_server-11.4-6.9.1.x86_64:
- bridge-utils-1.4-63.1.x86_64
- xen-doc-html-4.0.2_02-4.9.2.x86_64
- xen-doc-html-4.0.2_02-4.9.2.x86_64
code....
Does anyone have the same problem? There was nothing on google on this, and the xs_handle cannot be debugged as xs.so isn't visible to me.

I'm trying to piece together a Linux workstation and I determined that the CD-Rom drive in the original box was bad. I replaced it with a known good CD-RW drive from an old HP Windows desktop. I know the drive is good, if I place a windows bootable CD in the drive and power up the system it boots. If I boot the workstation with no CD installed the old Red hat 9 boots from the HD. The PC is a 586 class and has 256 Mb of RAM and about 80 Gb of free drive space.
What I want to do is burn a CD with the latest Fedora distro so I can update the ancient Red Hat on this workstation, but short of finding someone else with a working CD-R or CD-RW what can I do?
The startup shows that the CD-RW mounts as a ro ISO9660. If I try to change the options to add rw I then get the error message "maybe you should try IDE-SCSI and use dev/sda". Will that work in this case? I never heard of IDE-SCSI combined.

If I install the factory release now, can I easily convert my system to a normal 11.3 point release later, after 11.3 is out? If so, how would I do it? (11.2 has an issue that affects me. It's fixed in 11.3 already, so I have to use 11.3 if I'm going to use openSUSE.)

I am not totally new to Ubuntu I've been casually using it for a year now, most things I manage on my own but now I've hit a wall. Is there any one who knows how to get archicad 13 to install properly, it crashes during install, well it freezes. Or if there is some one there capable of making a playonlinux install *Tjingiimajig* that would be awesome.

I recently installed Deluge 1.2.9 so that my brother might be able to use his Droid to control torrents remotely. Immediately thereafter, I began experiencing problems with installing and uninstalling any software I attempted to install or uninstall. The problem seems to be an inability to do something (not sure what) with my kernel. Here's the output from the last installation I attempted (Deluge 1.1.9 from Add/Remove Applications)
Code:
InstallArchives() failed: Selecting previously deselected package libtorrent-rasterbar5.

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit I tried to watch a video on Firefox through hulu.com and kept getting unresponsive script error upon the website showing up. On other occasions some websites would open up very slowly. So I went ahead and started looking up the problem on google, and found two areas where this may occur:
1.Google search toolbar or add-on in firefox which I cannot find how in the world to disable since it seems to come inside the firefox package (I tried edit-preferences-addon- its not listed). 2.Adobe Flash Player: I disabled it and the websites are no longer slow, but now I cannot watch the video on hulu.com which is the main reason why I opened firefox. So I went ahead and installed Adobe Flash again, but it doesn't seem to want to work. Gnash and the other program (I forgot the name) install properly on Firefox but Adobe Flash Player keeps giving me errors. This is one of them when I tried downloading and installing it from terminal:
Code:
Flash Plugin installed. nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so dpkg: error processing flashplugin-installer (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of flashplugin-nonfree: flashplugin-nonfree depends on flashplugin-installer; however:
[Code]...
Honestly I wish all the websites would make their flash videos more compatible with other program, but for time being the Flash Monopoly still continues. Anyways, any solution or possible work-around?
By the way, as some of you may know Adobe Flash player doesn't support Google chrome for Linux (chromium). I would really hate to have to switch to my Vista Hard Drive just to see a video on Firefox.

I have read several threads on the subject of installing rubyripper, and following the instructions seems to work for a while, but at the end of "sudo apt-get install rubyripper" or some variant like -gtk I get the return: "Couldn't find package rubyripper"
I have tried this through the Ubuntu software center, terminal, Synaptic, etc, and do not know anywhere else to go and look for it.

I have a SATA boot disk with LILO installed. This disk is kinda like a recovery disk in that its supposed to boot up on any x86 PC. I'm however having trouble getting it to boot on a HP Probook laptop. I get the LILO 99 99 99 ... problem upon bootup.
I've already specified the linear option in my lilo.conf, which according to the LILO error codes might fix the problem but didn't.
Quote:
0x99: Invalid Second Stage
Mismatch between drive and BIOS geometry, or a bad map file. Some evidence that LINEAR needs to be set on the disk (see LiloNotes)
I've tried specifying the lba32 option instead, but get the same problem.
I've tried the solutions at this LILO Error Codes wiki, i.e. lilo -g and lilo -M /dev/sda
Neither solution worked.
Does anyone know how to get this working? Or recommend another BIOS independent boot loader? I was using nuni in the past for my IDE version, but nuni doesn't support SATA drives.
fyi I'm booting up the disk and running LILO on another laptop that boots it up, before plugging it into the Probook to test.

Just did a clean 11.04 install, however, Ubuntu doesn't start properly, it usually stops when it gets to the purple screen, the screen with the word Ubuntu and a few red dots underneath it to show it is loading. The system usually stops there or stops before getting to that screen. I was able to start in the 'safe mode' though.
