OpenSUSE Install :: Keep Iso's Updated - Can't Use Command Line
Jun 25, 2011
Doing an install of Suse 11.4 --- and the screen runs off the monitor to the right. A little guess word with the tab key and I could move through the install process by tabbing three times after the ""help" button. As I'm writing this the machine rebooted after initial load and the screen is okay - and I can see the abort-back-next buttons now. But really, what's with that? That's just so unprofessional. Hopefully the dev team reads these forums since there isn't any easily discoverable way to communicate with them. And you don't keep the iso's updated? The BETA of Firefox 4?? Really? Then I can only update to 4.01 from the repository? so I download an unpack the 5.0 from Mozilla -- and find out ./configure no longer works. The archive extractor still doesn't have an "install package" option anywhere, and now I can't use the command line either?

I was expecting a gnome window login prompt after installation was done. Instead I am getting a command line login prompt.Am I right expecting a X-Windows login prompt?I login successfully, but I am dropped into a shell (bash) instead of a gnome desktop.
The hardware I am installing on:
Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB Ram
137 GB HD
Radeon X1300/X1550 Series
Monitor - Dell E156FP (max res 1024x768 60 Hz)

I recently had to reinstall openSUSE 11.2 on my computer...
specifications
nx 6120 laptop
512 Ram
1.77 ghz processor
and i think i have intel 915 graphics chipset or something....
but now to the point. i had to make a fresh install on my computer. Before that it was working fine. I used a live usb for the installation process. there no GUI came up but i used yast2 to install the live usb. installation went smoothly with no hiccups....i restarted the computer and selected open SUSE 11.2 in the boot menu.
but after booting it again comes to this dark screen with a lot green 'dones' and then finally at the bottom i have my login space....so no desktop.

well, gonna straight-explain what I`ve here: had a Win7 64bit installed machine and created a D drive as I was intended to install Suse there (so it`s `Extended`) after succesfully installed SLED and finally restarted the laptop to see use Win7 again there was no Loader for me to choose which Operation System (I have another machine with XP,Ubuntu and Pardus - never had sucha problem)then I had to chose SLED of course but this time it didn`t bring me to the login page but to the Command Line of SLED, and the thing is that I can`t use command line on linux. tried several times and with failsafe login but stıll having command line and there is no Win7 to run on Loader.

I had to uninstall a proprietary ATI driver because it wrecked my X server. Apparently I removed the wrong package, because now the X server won't even start, even with the "nomodeset" flag.
QUESTION 1.How can I configure WiFi on the command line with NetworkManager or ifup, whichever is easier?
QUESTION 2.Which packages do I need to download to restore the X server?

so the safest way to go about this is to assume I know nothing. I mean, I have a rough Idea of what a kernel is, no idea what a shell is, etc. I do consider myself computer savvy, but know NOTHING about linux and thats why I'm Diving in, hopefully not too much, this is just to give you an idea of what we're working with here.
After several install attempts I kept getting a blank screen. Whether it be black,white, or the default gnome desktop (without any icons, and simple things like ctrl+alt+backspace just doesn't work, or anything else for that matter) I was ending up with a blank screen. Driver for moniter....maybe....but I did succesfully install it once, and it worked like a charm...shutdown properly, and the next day after work...Boom, same thing after startup.today I started from scratch and re-installed....samething, until I hit the power button, went from the dvd(iso) and did a fail safe, now my resolution is much better than it was the first time..Actual questions.....what did I do to fix it when failsafe never worked before?
Is there a way to save these settings, so I don't run into the problem again, because I don't even want to turn of my computer at this point?If i'm trying to dive in and learn the command line actions, is there any substancial difference between gnome terminal or hitting "c" to bring up the command line?

Out of curiosity and stupidity, I configured 2 extended partitions to LVM in gparted. Now, I can't boot into X window, and there's only GRUB command line during boot.

I have done a update from openSuse11.2 to 11.3 .,(not new install,I did update install). Now at my PC home / partition after NEW INSTALL of SuSE 11.3 file system shwos 10.6 GB(space taken,busy),it's ok.But on my laptop where I did UPDATE INSTALL / file system has 25 GB(space taken,busy).
My question is how can I release 10 Gb form my laptop(we all fight for free space). The difference it's clear>making update takes more space comparing with new install. I am thinking that the system from my laptop kept old filesytems as backup or whatever.
The situation it's similar with the case when I did a kernel compile (taking more space),but in that case I knew how to do,of course I erased the old configuration files,old kernel,old boot files/vmlinuz etc) after checking the new one kernel and boot from it ,ok status. But in the update case I don't know what should I do,because it's the first time after manny years when I did a update ,not a new install(from scratch) and Suse 11.3 it 's after few days of releasing,and of course it can have some tricks.I assume that you did more updates install for OS than me .So I kindly ask you to advice me.Where shall I look and what shall I delete without affect the stability ,operatibilty ,boot of OS and security for my system existed on my laptop.Please,think 25 GB comparing with 10.6 GB. It's something,isn't it? I would like to have back my 10-12 GB in my hard disk as free space.

I use Factory repositories of KDE4 and there are new releases almost every day in that repository. Although I believe that there are useful updates in the packages, I don't think they are really that crucial that I should update them every day.
When I do update, I usually use graphical frontend and select from menu: Packages >> All Packages >> Update if newer version available. That includes all the updates available either for the program or the package.
I'd really like to be able to sort out these packages that have updates for the programs available. Is there any way to do it?

Just updated to kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5 from:[url]
No error. then rebooted and grub gives following error:
Press Any Key to Continue
this goes to grub boot menu where I then select my old kernel 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop and it boots OK.
Question: Should root(hd2,2) be (hd0,2) like the working kernel?
My menu.lst is:
sda and sdb are not used at this time, sdb will have 12.1 Ms soon. The two windows drives are used by virtualvox for WIN XP backup. Not used often.

I had a normal OpenSuse 11.1 setup, along with Windows XP, swap partition and /home partition. After my hd began failing (badblocks), I cloned the system to a different location (using ddrescue), updated the hd with a new one (bigger), made new partitions on the new hd (preserving the old locations, ex: /dev/sda1 ext3 on old hd still is /dev/sda1 on new one, but made changes to the partitions sizes to make them bigger), recovered all the clones to the new hd, fsck'ed them, recovered grub with install dvd then tried to boot.
On the first boot, it failed to mount / (/dev/sda1) and gave me a command line. I checked /etc/fstab and saw that, on the old setup, it was mounting the partitions based on the HD-id, which obviously changed. I fixed that to use /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, etc. Now, the systems boots fine. But, when I get to the graphical login part, the keyboard and the mouse don't work. It's a Dell Inspiron 1525 notebook, now with a 320gb samsung hd.

I just used the on-line update to upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4. Now when I click the computer button in lower left, there are no entries under system, ie. control center, yast, install, lock, logout, shutdown. How do I get those back?

I have updated to the new kernel that was available from 11.2 and now I cant use my system.
It boots up into kde 4.3.5 and then right when its just finishing it freezes everytime and I hear that last tone of the bootup sound ring continually until I force a shutdown. Anyone else have this issue with the update?

I havent used Linux in a long time. I dug up an old copy of Suse (version8.2), and installed it on an old 599MHZ PC. Ive been trying to update the various libraries to be able to get a updated version of Firefox installed. Is there any chance that this can work? I need to know if Im wasting my time and should just put winxp on this PC. Also, I cant get any repositories working. I assume the default ones I have on the Suse installation are bad and the ones for the later versions will not work.

I am a redhat admin and also use Ubuntu. Installed opensuse on my home machine to give it a whirl. I can't seem to figure out why i can't open gui application from the command line.
I receive a GTK error when trying to open with sudo. What am i doing wrong?
EDIT: NM solved my own question, had to add DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY to the sudoers file.

I tried to install Vlc using the terminal (terminal as root). I've used the command aptitude install vlc. Instead of installing only vlc, my gnome desktop environment was removed, gdm was removed, many more programs was removed! What's the command for installing just a single program using the command line? I was used under Ubuntu to use the command sudo apt-get install [***]

I've just spent the longest afternoon trying to get Natty command line install to work. Okay lets list the problems first:Alsa not working so no soundUser privileges messed upWireless doesn't work Realtek rtl8192cu previously worked under 10.04 and 10.10Initial boot left me with a blank screen. I had to boot to grub and use the root console to install xdm which I normally don't use. I also had to install Openbox and some basic utilities from root console just to get a desktop.I've been doing command line install since 8.04 and have never had so many problems.
