OpenSUSE :: Updated To Kde 4.6.2 With Shut Down?
Apr 8, 2011
I have a clean install of 11.4 64 bit updated with factory and tumbleweed. Updated to kde 4.6.2 (from 4.6.1) yesterday using factory. The update worked fine with the exception of shutting down. When I press the shut down button it closes kde and takes me to a terminal window logon. So I have been switching to root and init 0. The re-start option (from kde) works fine.
I rolled my system back to kde 4.6.1 and it shut down without any problems. I thought that it might be a problem with me using factory to upgrade to kde 4.6.2 - so I switched back to kde 4.6.2 using the kde repo at:- Index of /repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_11.4
Same problem in shutting down. So I again rolled back to kde 4.6.1 (which again came from factory) and no problems. The only thing that I can see that is different is when I log out of kde and there is the (kdm) screen login, on the bottom left there are the different systems available. For kde this used to show:-
but now just shows the two plasma options. Is this were my problem lies or is this standard were someone has upgraded to kde 4.6.2.

Offlate I installed F11 i586 on my laptop. F11 shares the hard disk with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:
Maker: Toshiba
Model: Satellite L305D-S5881
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor RM-70
3072 MB 800 MHz SDRAM
I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.

Recently I installed openSUSE 11.2 (GNOME) on my HP DC7100 machine. I was very excited about it until shortly, when I started discovering the problems.
One of the more severe problems is that I can't shut down the system:
Pressing the "Shut Down" button brings me back to the login screen. From there I still can't shut down, but I also can't log-in any more. The only option left is the hard shut down.
"Restart" sometimes works, but often ends up in the login screen too.
As far as the "Suspend" and "Hibernate" is concerned, I did not experience any problems there.
By the way, after the installation, I consumed all available updates (including the kernel upgrade). I'm not aware it the problem existed before the updates.

A few days ago I installed Nvdia fx 5200 drivers and after that I had on my grub menu Opensuse 2.6.31.8-0.1 Desktop along with Default. Since Desktop worked alright and Default would work only in terminal, I erased Default from Grub menu. Yesterday Update Applet warned about some updates, I installed them and had on Grub menu 2.6.31.12 Desktop with 2.6.31.12 Default. When I wanted to shut down computer, the screen froze. It works when I reboot but if I want to shut down, it doesn't do this, I have to make a forced shut down. How can I solve this problem?

I just installed 11.3 and Gnome yesterday and all went well except that the system will not shut down, it simply reboots. I've tried shutting it down using halt and shutdown now as root and each time the machine reboots. I didn't have this problem with 11.1.

Is there a combination of key-strokes to shut down 11.3?

I powered up and saw to my consternation that several Firefox Tabs did not load (server unavailable). I gave it several tries, but it did not work. Hiding Firefox, I saw that KWallet was waiting for a password. After that, I entered the password for SU, and Firefox worked. Then it struck me:
I did not login - repeat: I DID NOT LOGIN - , no username, no password. And the password for KWallet is not the same as my user PW.
If I am correct, openSuSE 11.4 (64 bits) may have security problem. Do: Start Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 Start some application that needs a password stored in KWallet, do not enter the PW Place the Firefox window over the KWallet wind for the PW Do a shutdown via the Icon Wait 30 seconds after power down Turn the power on
If you now enter the session without specifying any user name or PW, then this message has some merit; if not, I will try to duplicate the issue tomorrow.

When I shut-down the computer from OpenSuse 11.4, it does log out and exit the operating system but the computer does not turn off. Can this possibly be corrected?

Brand-new to Linux. Using a computer with openSUSE 11.3 (64-bit) freshly installed. Install went flawlessly without any kind of error messages.
Hardware used: MSI X58 Eclipse, Intel i7-920, 6 GB memory, Seagate 500 GB SATA.
openSUSE is the only OS installed.
After the install is finished, all programs work fine. HOWEVER when I try to shut down/restart the computer nothing happens! I basically have to use the power off button to shut down...

I have just installed opensuse 11.3 on my box and it refuses to shut down. It shows a tty screen with the message "power down" but wont power off. After searching the web I found no solution until I compared the "halt" scripts of versions 11.3 and 11.2 (they are located in /etc/init.d). Both scripts differ only by a couple of lines that make reference to raid devices. As I am not using any RAID array in my BIOS, I copied my halt script (version 11.2) on top of the version 11.3 halt script and my box started to shut down and power off nicely! At least for me it worked!

I've been running 11.3 on a net book for several weeks and have not had this happen on that computer. On a different computer, which was upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3, now requires a root password to shut down the computer.

If I click on the shutdown bottom (in my lower panel) I get an new window to choose if I really want to shut down or restart or suspend or hibernate. Under that alternatives there is an text that says: "[...] The system will automatically shut down in 60 seconds." Why is the text "60" not running down like a countdown? Can I set another (shorter) time for the automatic shutdown (10 seconds)? If so, where? Or shut I just make another bottom to shut down immediately?
I use (normally) OpenSuse/SUSE Linux
Release 11.1
Kernel Linux 2.6.27.45-0.1-pae
Gnome 2.24.1

Will 11.2 be updateable through yast to 11.3?
I have to get this workstation out onto shop floor, back into service, wondering if I put 11.2 in now then update to 11.3 while in service. It has 10.3 in it now.

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 have jsut upgraded from openSUSE 11.1 to 11.2 following these instructions.
After rebooting into 11.2, several things are broken, the most serious of which is that the computer has no network at all. Wifi is operating normally and connecting to the router, but even with a wired ethernet connection, ping, DNS lookup and all network services (including access to the repositories) are not working.
KDE 4 says that new hardware is detected, and asks to configure the network device "computer." But, after the message that network manager is controlling the network device and that it should be switched to traditional ifup method, it says that "the package "iw" should be installed. Then it offers to install it, but, without a working network connection, is unable to reach the repositories. Again, even with a direct ethernet connection the computer is not reaching the network, but the hardware seems to be configured and working properly.
Network access is also not working in gnome or KDE 3.
This is a Lenovo s10e netbook with no cd-rom drive, and I do not have a live USB. How can I get network access working again? Once I have that I can set about fixing the other broken things in the install.

I'm using opensuse 11.2 and a week or so ago it suddenly stopped shutting down the computer, or rebooting. It shuts the screen down and that seems to be it, so I have ti switch it off. However a day or so later it began to reboot when asked, but still won't shut down. I'm dual booting it with Unbuntu 9.04 using grub2, but it's been that way for many months without problems.

Vuze downloaded an update, and now everytime I use it keeps telling me to re start for the update to have an effect. When I re start, same thing happens again tells me it needs to restart. I'm using Gnome and openSUSE 11.3. I checked older posts for a solution it seems this has happened before. Do I just wait for a new version to come out of the repos?

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.

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?

The DST in Chile has changed due to the earthquake. I am using openSuSE 11.2, but my clock is using the pre-earthquake info. I am currently using timezone and timezone-java version 2009u-0.1.1, and I believe there is an updated timezone version 2010u, but it hasn't been uploaded to the official repositories yet. How can I fix my timezone?

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.
