When my computer is going down for hibernation (ram2disk) he safes the session corretly to the disk and the statusbar reaches 100%, but the computer and screen leaves on. Maybe some acpi troubles?
It is just that the computer won't switch off so that I have to press the OnButton 3sec. When I start again the session is sucessfully restored.
I saw the article in Suspend to disk - openSUSE and I decided to test s2disk on my VAIO VGN-AR41L (laptop) using ext4 system (which supports journaling). I used the button of the KDE4 to initiate the process of suspend to disk. The process of storing the image and shutdown the computer worked. But the reverse process didn't work. I also saw in the article that there is a workaround for the journaled systems. Instead of doing this can I switch off journaling on ext4 without loss of data? And if yes, how can this be done?

I have downloaded the OS to my computer but can't figure out how to put it on my USB flashdrive as directed. It shows how use your USB flashdrive using Windows, Mac and Ubuntu but when I read the instructions for Ubuntu, opensuse does not have the program Startup Disk Creator.

I have Ubuntu 9.1 with wubi and Vista on my laptop. I was playing my laptop through the TV, then I tried to switch it back to computer control and the computer went black. I had to hold to power button to restart, and suddenly grub4dos starts up when I try to launch ubuntu. I can still launch Vista. Is there anything I can do to save my system? At the very least, I would like to be able to copy data from my ubuntu system to my vista system. How can I do that? I can't find C:/ubuntu/disks. It doesn't seem to exist.
So i want to install AMD drivers from the website. I know.. I know.. Its the same old story but I play games and such so i need them...
So I'm using the --buildpkg switch and have tried every Debian/stable, Debian/unstable, Debian/testing etc.. none of them work. I get en error stating a folder is not found.
How do I build packages specific to Debian. in the --listpkg it says Debian is supported but i cannot get the %**^ %#@@$ ATI drivers ever to work right.
I've used this video conferencing web app on Windows 7 and it works perfectly. [URL] But I'm having flash problems. Flash doesn't load and the light at my webcam doesn't switch on at all. Things to note:Cheese works so I know my webcam in Ubuntu is functional. I've tried purging the flash plugin and reinstalling it. It doesn't work on Chrome and Firefox so it's definitely only a flash problem. I'm not using any medication so I know it isn't me just imagining it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedOn a Debian system, there are packages called uswsusp and hibernate. The former contains a program named s2disk, the latter contains a program called hibernate. Superficially, these both do the same thing: the suspend the machine to disk. Usually, this works fine, but since I'm often using Debian testing and there are lots of changes in kernel and other packages (I assume), somethings this breaks. But then, when one of these programs doesn't work, sometimes the other works. Often, hibernate works when s2disk doesn't.annoyingly, however, the "Suspend" or "Hibernate" buttons in the graphical user interfaces (e.g., LXDE, KDE) appear to be wired up to the s2disk program, so when that breaks I have to use hibernate manually.
So, what is the difference between these packages? Interestingly, the hibernate package "recommends" uswsusp, but the package description says that it "smartly puts your computer to sleep ... using one of the various methods available in the kernel". So apparently it can fall back to something else when the s2disk method fails? And if hibernate is more powerful, why wouldn't the GUIs use it instead?
I have an HP Pavilion dv5 and Opensuse 11 with dual boot (windows and linux).. When I try to disable the sound using the hardware switch, it does, but when I try to reenable it it doesn't work.. it shows the same image that I get when I try to disable the sound.. The only way to reactivate using switches is to press vol +.. I have the lastest kernel and the lastest BIOS upgrade.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI had put a second Sata hard drive in my computer and was pleasantly surprised not to run into any problems. No BIOS changes, just start the partitioner, partition, mount, it worked.And then... my computer didn't boot today.I disconnected the new hard drive and it went a little bit further, allowing me to log in as root and remove some lines in /etc/fstab. After that, it booted without any issues.I then remembered that the new drive was /dev/sda and the old drive /dev/sdb. I assume this is the reason for not booting, there is no GRUB on /dev/sda. How do I fix this? Can I simply plug in the cable for the new drive where the cable for the old drive was?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using some unstable set of kde packages with opensuse 11.2-i586, at the moment the version number is
KDE 4.4.62 (KDE 4.5 >= 20100203).
That I have these packages is due to some misconfiguration / error, and I would like to replace them with something stable, say kde 4.4.1. I had a look into yast, found an option like "use these (kde 4.4) packages as system packages", but run into numerous compatability issues afterwards so that I can't make the switch.
So my question is: How can I replace the unstable kde 4.5 packages with kde 4.4.1? I don't know suse very well, so if there is some step-by-step description available somewhere

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am running 11.4_64, KDE47 (recent update from 46)
I have three Suse Linux pcs on my network.
I'll call them desktop, media center and laptop.
I am logged in to my desktop , I want to open a new session and log in to my media center.
From GUI, I select application launcher - leave -switch user and get a fresh kdm greeter screen.
On the Greeter screen, I select Menu - Remote Login
A window opens displaying three machines - my desktop, my laptop and my media center.
When I move the mouse into the new window to select the media center as the new target machine, the window immediately closes.
I have Xdmcp access enabled in kdmrc on all three systems(and rebooted).
This did work fine back when I was on KDE45 and KDE46.
Is there a new permission or setting now under KDE47?
Since I upgraded to Lucid, I am dealing with serious instabilities related to my wireless card. What happens is that when there is a lot of wireless activity the computer freezes. It is a complete freeze, the mouse stops moving, if something was coming out of the speakers it keeps echoing, and the only solution is to turn off the computer. The bug seems to coincide with the one listed in here
[URL]
My wireless card is Intersil ISL3890/ISL3886. My whole computer is an HP z555. I'm thinking that is should be a bug in the wireless adapter driver, which is p54pci. The only solution I can think of is to blacklist it and set up ndiswrapper. I am not very comfortable with this solution since a native linux driver should be better than ndiswrapper.
I wanted to split adsl line, but a friend of mine explained that this isn't possible.. So now my question is that can you somehow switch ethernet back to dsl or have a computer convert it so that nothing has to be done to the other modem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop computer running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. When headphones are inserted into the headphones port, sound continues to come out the internal speakers, and not through the headphones.
This works fine in Windows 7, so the hardware appears to be good. This did work properly when we first installed Ubuntu - it spontaneously stopped working one night, so I'm not sure what we did to make it stop acting normally.
I have run "alsamixer" in the terminal, and toggled every mute and volume bar there is (there are only 4). The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324.

At the moment I've got dual-bootable machine with WinXP (25GB on hard disk) and openSUSE 11.2 (20GB on hard disk). After saving the important files on my ~/home I want to wipe off all data from both my partitions and then install WinXP (with 15GB) and openSUSE 11.2 with 30GB. The problem is I'm not sure how to go about doing this? I'm guessing the problem will be the boot process. I installed openSUSE on a machine that already had WinXP and I didn't change any boot settings so it must still be controlled by XP. So presumably I'd have to:
1. Remove openSUSE first and then remove XP using the XP CD.
2. Install XP again
3. Install openSUSE on another partition as I did before but with different partition sizes.
Or should I install openSUSE first before XP? I think I'm more confident on installing XP first since I've already done it earlier. The only other complication is that this is my 'laptop' screen is broken so I use an external monitor. This is what prevented me from formatting my computer earlier.
Thanks.
