OpenSUSE Install :: When It Boots First See The Welcome Screen, Then The OpenSUSE Installer, Whether Select The Live (GNOME) Option?

Sep 16, 2010

I have a SONY PCG-R505TE laptop with an external CD/DVD, it connects via what I think is a PCMCIA card, the drive came with the laptop and functions fine. I currently have Windows XP running on this laptop, but it's very slow.I downloaded openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso and sucessfully burned it to a CD.I have the laptop bios set to boot from CD, and it appears to be doing that no problem. When it boots I first see the welcome screen, then the openSUSE Installer, whether I select the Live (GNOME) option, or the Installation.. it loads the kernel, and then loads the KIWI boot systemit is on the third event, waiting for CD/DVD dvices to appear... that something seems to fail... I then see Failed to detect CD/DVD or USB drivethen a rebootexception and it reboots in 120 seconds.

OpenSUSE :: GNOME3 Install On Top Of Kde And Have GNOME DE Option Show Up In Kdm

Jul 28, 2011

Im trying to install GNOME-3 on top of kde and have GNOME DE option show up in kdm. I have SUSE DVD and have set local(OD) repository priority to 80 in order to get most packages from DVD. Inspite of that YaST pulls packages from online repositories, it may be the latest version. I have 8 MbPS dsl but the YaST download speeds are around 500B. How do I change mirrors of repositories. In my opinion this has nothing to do with ipv6, I use ipv6 for openBSD and it get good browsing speeds. Im trying to set kdm4 login manager but it doesnt start after enabling for YaST-/etc/sysconfig.

OpenSUSE Install :: Add Gnome Desktop As An Option - Conflict

Nov 5, 2010

I have an openSUSE 11.3 system happily running KDE 4.4.4, and want to add Gnome desktop as an option. I go into YAST->S/W Mgmt->Patterns and click on 'Gnome Desktop Environment' and get this warning - "pattern:gnome-11.3-22.1.x86_64 requires patterns-openSUSE-gnome, but this requirement cannot be provided" (screenshot here). It looks like the conflict is with patterns-openSUSE-kde4_pure, which lists the Gnome RPM and pulseaudio as conflicts.

Questions: Is this only for bookkeeping purposes, or is there really a conflict having both desktops on one system? Will I have conflicts with pulseaudio? (I know I can disable it) If I want to go ahead, should I just select deinstallation of the ..._pure RPM?

OpenSUSE Install :: Should There Be Option To Download ISO Option For CD Installation

Jul 18, 2010

when I go to download 11.3 I am presented with the installation medium for a DVD installation with a button that says download DVD. Should there be an option to download an ISO option for a CD installation on this page along with the DVD version? Some of our older machines can only read CD's with a max size of 500+ megs.

OpenSUSE :: [11.2 Gnome] Where To Set Shortname=winnt Mount Option

Dec 23, 2009

Where do I set the default mount options for automounted removable drives, like memory cards?Right now the cards are being mounted with shortname=lower. That option causes my (vfat) memory card's files to appear with lowercase letters, but I'm more used to have 8.3-style msdos filenames as uppercase, (unless specifically mixed case). I've tried editing the setting in gconf, as well as editing /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi, nothing works. Mount keeps using shortname=lower, regardless of what settings I put in those 2 locations.Searching the forums gave me those 2 locations above, and nothing too current.

OpenSUSE Install :: Option (Installation Regarding To Opensuse And Windows Server 2008?

Mar 20, 2011

right now, my machine runs ubuntu 10.10 due to work issue, i need to use windows server 2008 R2 (its a windows exclusive company) but i never used any of the active directory or anything from the windows server (only experience with windows is visual studio and those GAMES!), so i figure i need to practice a bit on my own b4 starting the job and just at the same time I found out as a univ student i get it for free! And plus, I am finding opensuse a better option for me than ubuntu So im wondering what i should do regarding these 2 systems here s some option

1). Install openSuse 11.4, and install VirtualBox and use windows server 2008 R2 on vbox
2). Install windows server 2008 R2 and then install openSuse alongside with it
3). Install windows server 2008 R2 and install openSuse in virtualBox

I have been using linux as my primary OS for more than a year now and I rlly need it for both school and my own entertainment. So wondering which option would best work out for me

wat are your opinions? PS: my machine is about 2 years ago a Dell laptop, with core 2 duo p8700 (2.53ghz) 4GB ram, and nvidia gfx, which even tho is still fast, but isnt rlly that snappy when it comes to virtualization even running xp in a virtual machine is quite laggy at times :S

OpenSUSE Install :: No USB Boot Option In BIOS?

Aug 29, 2010

Under Windows XP in the C Drive, I've downloaded PLoP boot manager to force the USB boot. I've tried about a thousand things and I get a different error message at different times from each attempt. I've got all of those documented, and I imagine I'll need to post them. I'm just not doing it quite yet as sometimes I give too much information and I really feel that I'm being an idiot here, missing something simple.

I'd like to install openSUSE onto the D Drive, using the USB and PLoP to boot it. I've downloaded openSUSE's torrents for all iso's (Net, DVD and LiveKDE). In order to get those files onto the USB, I first format to FAT32. I've tried UNetBootIn, LiLi, and mounting the iso on Daemon Tools and then copy-paste into the hard drive. None of these work and they all give different errors.Is this even possible, am I wasting my time? This is getting incredibly frustrating as I've been at it for nearly a week.

OpenSUSE Install :: How To Get Start Option Modified Automatically

After the install on the hd I had to modify manually the start option otherwise I wouldn't. I found out in the option that I have to give: pci=noacpi and the start will go on. My question is, how to do this automatically, I mean modifying before every boot would be annoying.

OpenSUSE Install :: Mounting /sys Directories With Nosuid Option?

May 19, 2010

I'm trying to mount some file systems in the /sys directory with the nosuid option. Upon executing the command:

mount -o remount,nosuid /sys/kernel/security
or
remount nosuid /sys/kernel/security

/etc/mtab will show that they have been applied, but upon restart of the machine, the nosuid option is removed.

Soooo, the question is why are they being removed? Can /sys files carry the nosuid option?

OpenSUSE Install :: Grub Not Using Saved Boot Option?

Jun 21, 2010

After giving it my best shot, I had to give up and finally decide that I need "acpi=off" added to the kernel line in grub. I have done so, saved it:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.12-0.2-default root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST950212A_5LE02797-part1
pci=noacpi

I have tried "acpi=off" "pci=noacpi". But on boot the system totally ignores this and loads the acpi support from the kernal, which shut down the USB ports. Where is this option used in Suse so that the kernel will recognize on each boot?

OpenSUSE Install :: Option To Continue Boot When Something In Fstab Failed?

Jul 13, 2009

I have already started a thred here about RAID failure: RAID5 failed, system drops into limited single mode - openSUSE Forums

I was not able to boot the system until I commented /dev/md0 in fstab

Why is it so?
This is just a files sharing partition, it is not a system partition.

Is there any option to always ignore any errors and continue boot?

I can't install unless I skip all 600-something of them.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.2 On Compaq 610 Not Booting / Kernal Option Disablemodules=iTCO?

Mar 6, 2010

I am trying to install opensuse 11.2 on my Compaq 610 laptop, I have reformatted the hd and done a clean install of 11.2, however when I boot up the first time (before configuration) it hangs, I have tried both the X64 and the i586 distributions and the only difference is that the X64 distro boots up under failsafe mode while the i586 does not.The problem seems to be at the udev part with the hang up occurring at :

[ 6.002720] b43-pci-bridge 0000:10)00.0: PCI INT A -> Link[C136] - GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10
[ 6.096894] iTCO_wdt: Intel TCO Watchdog Imer Driver v1.05
[ 6.096159] iTCO_wdt: Found a ICH8M-E TCO device (Version=2, TCOBASE=0x1060)
[ 6.103458] iTCO_wdt: initialized. heartbeat= 30 sec (nowayout=0)

And thereafter nothing further happens.

I tried the kernal option disablemodules=iTCO_wdt which got me to the next problem on the next line:

[ 5.761939] b43-pci-bridge 0000:10:00.0: PCI INT A -> Link[C136] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10

and it now hangs here

I tried 11.1 and slackware 13 with no problems installs fine and runs fine, on the opensuse site it lists the machine as compatible with 11.2.

OpenSUSE Install :: OpenFATE - #310836: Add An Option In YaST To Comment Out An Entry

Nov 20, 2010

I agree that this is a problem in making every NTFS partition a boot selection option in your grub menu.lst file during the installation of openSUSE. Someone should consider asking help from please_try_again in the openSUSE forums on how to find a bootable Windows partition and add that fuction to the openSUSE installer. Here is a pointer to the findgrub article here.

Looking for Grub and Windows bootloader in all partitions.The basic situation is that there is normally is only ONE booting copy of Windows, so why would you create three or four menu entries due to the number of NTFS partitions found on a hard drive? Finally, just as indicated by Jean-Daniel Dodin, If one of those partitions in the restore partition and a user boots it, it could be all over for the user copy of Windows, for the openSUSE install and for ever getting this user to try openSUSE again.

OpenSUSE Install :: Lose By Adding The X11failsafe Option In Menu.lst / NVidia Drivers?

Jul 21, 2011

My install of 11.4 (& 12.1) won't load unless I add the X11failsafe option to the loading of 11.4 (& 12.1) in the Grub menu.lst file. They bomb out after resetting the video when booting. I don't need to do this with my 11.3 install. Upon closer inspection 11.3 is using the nouveau nVidia driver, whereas both 11.4 & 12.1 are using the fbdev nVidia driver. My Hardware is a GEForce 6150SE and a Samsung SyncMaster 933SN. I have a couple of questions

1) What do I lose by adding the X11failsafe option in Menu.lst?

2) Can I, should I, replace the fbdev driver with something else. If yes, What? Nouveau?
