I'm not sure if this is an OS issue but openSUSE wont boot with two different ram speeds. I've got two 1gb 667Mhz RAM and tried one of 800Mhz. So the idea was to get 3gb (1gb 667Mhz + 2gb 800Mhz).After GRUB starts nothing happens (at least on screen).By the way I also tried the 800Mhz RAM alone and it worked so it's ok.Why openSUSE (11.3) can't boot with these two different RAM memories?
View 8 RepliesI've got a few things I need sorted out with my openSUSE installation:
1- I've read all the tutorials, done all the walkthroughs. How do I install APT, Synaptic & gdebi? To get Synaptic & gdebi, I need APT & everything tells me it's in the repos if I search for it. Nothing. How do I install it?
2- Is it possible to have my trackpad & cord mouse going at different speeds? My cord mouse is fine speed, but my trackpad is lightning fast & hard to control.
3- I have a secondary monitor.
4- Banshee doesn't play anything. It's a similiar situation to APT, but I still can't find anything. I've resorted to using Songbird (which I'm fine with), but it's podcast support is REALLY shotty.
5- Has anyone figured out how to manage an iPod Nano 5th gen yet? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but... maybe...
6- Am I able to replace my HOME folder with an external hard drive? So that when I download something it goes to the hard drive, rather than the downloads folder.
How can I install Mplayer for openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 The 1 click install from packman is not working and the download install is asking for libopencore-amrnb.so.0 but llibopencore-amrnb0(x86-64) = 0.1.2-1.pm.3.1 is installed
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have managed to compile and load the RaLink drivers for my wifi card and get an internet connection.My problem is that when I do a broadband speed test on using chrome I get about 1.5 Mbs and on my laptop (Windows 7 meh :-( ) its closer to 7Mbs. I was wondering if there are any other settings I can modify or tweak that could potentially change to improve this. or maybe a better way to test the through put of my connection?I downloaded the latest drivers for my device from Ralink and compiled new module, but I get a little confused on what settings to do and where it reads any configuration information from.
Also this may be off topic or thread, if so I apologise, but I am sure there is a quick answer to this and there is a lot of different information out there on where and how I load my new rt3562sta.ko module into the kernel on start up. As currently I am calling insmod on it manually every time I start up then the Network Manager picks it up and connects.
I have a dell E6400, which I picked up recently 2nd hand. Previous owners had Win 7 evaluation version on it, which had expired. Originally the machine had Vista Business on it and Lic Key intact. I installed Opensuse on without problems whilst waiting for the original Vista disc to make it's way to me - forgot to pick it up with the machine.
I now want to get rid of the expired Win 7 and re-install Vista, but the grub is only giving me the option of Windows, Opensuse, Opensuse Safe and Floppy. My machine only has a cd/dvd drive and when I've selected this the dvd has started, but then it looks like it defaults back to Opensuse which goes so far then freezes. No obvious way for me to reinstall vista. This may of course be a completely daft question to ask, but I've looked at this for an hour or so and can't figure it out...?
I'm using OpenSuse 11.3 Gnome I'm having trouble installing new packages from the One Click Installs of Software Open Suse and from Packman. I get the following error each time.The install link or file you opened does not contain instructions for this version of openSUSE.
Having done a new install of Open Suse 11.3 I'm trying to get back to using Mplayer and Cairo-dock, just to mention two packages. Is the version 11.3 still too new, or is there a fault in the auto installs of 11.3? I have managed to download the rpm of Cairo-dock but the Cairo-dock-plugins have dependency problems which I presume should be resolved using the One Click Install - when it works.
i cant seem to get my internet working when i set a static ip address in my suse box.how should i get that to work?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a newly installed openSUSE 11.4 (several reinstalls actually) which will not login to KDE (Plasma Desktop) from the KDM menu. When trying, the background image of KDM flickers a bit and I can see a hint of the bottom panel contours before it disappears again and only the KDM background image is shown. I have the right click menu working and also I can see started applications when alt+tabbing as white squares on the screen but no plasma desktop appears. It's as if the KDM background image blocks the desktop behind it.
If I switch to a console and init 3, log in as root and then run startx...the KDE Plasma Desktop loads and works brilliantly, but I cannot do this as a non root user.Logging in to IceVM from KDM works as a normal user.I figured this could be some kind of permissions issue so I tried creating a new user but I had no luck with that either. Does someone have any tips on how to solve this problem or a way to troubleshoot it?
I am neither sure what these are called not if this is the proper place to report the problem, please let me know if there is a better place.The consoles that should ne invoked using CTRL-ATL-F1...Fx are simply not there or cause my OpenSUSE 11.2 64-bit to crash. If I hit a combination like CTRL-ALT-F3 (say), my screen goes completely black (there is absolutely nothing on screen), not only that I cannot return to X (using Gnome, if that makes a difference), none of the CTRL-ALT-Fx work after that and I must do a hardware reset.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI enabled Automatic Online Updates in opensuse 11.2, and set the frequency to "Daily", but after 24 hours I haven't seen an update. It may be because I had YaST still running and maybe the installed software database was locked.At any rate,ow can I verify that Automatic Online Updates are scheduled?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded the i686 11.2 and right before it seems as though the Live CD is going to load, with the cursor and the black screen present, it takes me straight to 'linux login'. It states that runlevel 5 has been reached, the failed services in runlevel 5 are postfix and the skipped services are nfs if that's of any significance. I have no idea where to start; looking around it looks as though this is a graphics card issue. My laptop has Intel X3100 integrated video. How can I manage to get the LiveCD working?
(Also, if let it sit at the login for a while, it says "usr/sbin/stop_preload: line 4: /usr/bin/killall: Input/Output error)
I have a new install of opensuse 11.2 with gnome as desktop & gdm as window manager. Login OK. I added the Gnome community repositories & packman & ran an update. Now, with gdm login gives just wallpaper & no desktop. If I change to xdm as window manager I can login OK. The installed version of gdm is gdm-2.28.2-1.3.i586.

Perhaps my last post about this was too long and hence why nobody responded. So i will try and keep it simple and let the experts advise me.
I have tried installing an rpm that I got from rpm search. Namely xorg-x11-driver-video-xgi-1.5.0-6.1.i586 which seemed to install but when I did a query it said it was not installed, but when I tried to do an install again it said it was already installed ??
There is also a file called xserver-xorg-video-sis_0.9.3.orig.tar.gz which i got from this site. I have not managed to extract it properly yet but will look into that myself. It appears to have in it a makefile, so I presume it is source files and I could really do with some help in that.
I just switched back to the open source radeon driver, since the kernel update may have messed with fglrx for the proprietary driver. if i boot into nomodeset then i have desktop effects, however when i boot regularly, the desktop effects are off and do not work.ATI radeon mobile graphics HD4200; opensuse 11.3

Suddenly after logging in (GUI - LXDE desktop) the background screen is all what I can see and no menus, not even right click opens anything. Same in KDE desktop. All I can do is throw myself out with Ctrl Alt and F1. startx returns that the server is already running. All I can do is using (as root) "rm -rf /tmp/X0-lock" and then "startx --:1". That opens the GUI but only as root. What can I do that I can log in normally again? By the way I tried to reinstall but I only get to loading drivers and then everything stops.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently installed SuSE 11.4 (kernel 2.6.37.6-0) and it all works very nicely EXCEPT for the KDM login. I am using kde 4.6.0 and have the latest updates for 11.4 installed and at install time, I left the automatic Login box checked which works ok. However, when I go to the 'Personal Settings - configure desktop' and change the Login - convenience' to UNcheck the Auto login box, it does not change the Login action - I stlll login (without a login name and password screen appearing). I have looked at the file - /usr/share/kde/config and the kdmrc file does change to read 'autologin' true (or false) when I make the changes in the configure desktop GUI, but this has no effect on my actual ability to 'login' automatically all the time!

I've recently purchased a TP-WNL951N PCI Card for wireless N stuff. I have a Netgear WNDR3700 for use with my AP and I've confirmed that within windows XP I can connect at 300mb/s.
Within Ubuntu though, it only goes up to 54mb/s. Is there something special I need to do to enable wireless N speeds?
Here's some info that I should probably put in:

I am trying openSUSE 11.3(KDE desktop) for the first time (also my first time with a linux OS). But i am trying to install the EgalaxTouch driver to get my touchscreen working. I have tried all the things from this topic: openSUSE 11.3 and eGalax TouchScreen but everytime i try to run the install.sh i get these errors no mather if i am directly logged in as root or using sudo in my command line:
I am busy from monday installing all kind of touchscreen drivers but they all won't install propperly (just like the original drivers they need the Xfree86-devel but i can't find it for openSUSE).
I installed 11.4 and it seems to be working fine. To run few windows application I need WINE. I installed WINE using YAST Software Manager. But when I install application in WINE it's not working correctly. The same application is working fine in MINT/WINE.
