SUSE / Novell :: Install The Kernel In Suse11 Rescue Mode From The Suse11 Dvd?
Oct 20, 2010
I just deleted the suse kernel-default by yast2 accidentally and rebooted the suse11 box,how will I install the kernel in suse11 rescue mode from the suse11 dvd ?
I'm a new linux user and I'm trying to install some files from a .tar.gz archive. I have successfully created a repository in a directory using createrepo, but I can't figure out how to add am installation source to YaST.How is it done in 11.2?
Recently, I downloaded openSUSE 11.2 DVD.I read here (Partitioning/Install Guide) that GRUB may not dual boot correctly with windows: It should be said that grub does not always get the settings to boot Windows quite correct and you may later have to adjust the /boot/grub/menu.lst file in your Linux installation
Is it true also for the openSuse version (11.2) that I downloaded? Please refer to Windows 7.
My laptop is a Medion MD 96970 (bought at Aldi in September 2008) with
- graphic card nVidia GeForce 9300M G - processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz - 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller - 3GB RAM and 300 GB memory
1) Originally, my laptop came with Windows Vista. Then I got a SUSE linux 11.0 CD, let it make a partition and installed Suse 11.0. Since Suse11.0 isn't updated any further I would like to change to Suse 11.3 (or whatever is newer). How should I proceed? (I can't find my old Windows Vista CDs and would like to KEEP THE PARTITION, thus formating all isn't an option)
2) In order to make a backup I bought a portable hard drive from iomega (USB 2.0). Then I noticed that it is formated in NTFS. SUSE 11.0 doesn't seem to like it --- what should I do? Can I reformat it somehow?
3) Suse 11.0 doesn't like my sound card. Thus I couldn't Skype or listen to music --- do you know if this problem is solved under Suse 11.3?
Just installed and started to use the suse11.4 two weeks ago when my Win7 broke down. Now I got a new Win7 recovery disc from my laptop manufacturer, and want to install a Win7 accompanying with the suse11.4.
My question is how to clear up a free space in HD to install win7? Currently, I have 3 partitions that are sda1, sda2 and sda3 with space 2G(swap), 20G(root) and 270G(home) respectively. I want to free up half space from sda3 to install Win7, how to do it without delete the data on it? One weird thing is that my HD totally is 320G, but when I installed SUSE, only 300G was usable and the other 20G is missing until now. The fdisk -l command info. is showed below:
today I upgraded my 11.2 system to KDE 4.4.2. Basically this works. However there are two questions I was not yet able to find a useful answer for:
- 4.4.2 offer strigi desktop search. The index process started and probably did its job but how can I start a search. I found a hint that dolphin can be used, but here I do not find any Menu entry that opens a search dialog (except for the standard file search window). What I found was settings->Toolbar and there I could add a search bar into dolphins toolbar. However this search bar only appears in this one window, if I close it and open a new dolphin window it will not appear again (probably a bug). Any other way to start a strigi based desktop search?
- Again in dolphin I sometimes see strange folder icons for the folders in my home directory. Basically this is the default folder icon and after waiting a while all the icons change in that inside the regular folder icon a gray rectangle is displayed a the lower left side. No idea what this is good for. I goes away if I reload the folders content and then again after a while those strange icon appears again. It does however not appear for folders in eg /tmp only for /home which is on my system a NFS mounted filesystem.
I am Running on OPENSUSE 11.3, Apache 2.2.15 with PHP 5 and MYSQL 5. I have done complete configuration as written but still my PHP pages are being downloaded instead of being parse by Apache. What is wrong with my Configuration. For Reference i am mentioning my httpd.conf and php5.conf
...../etc/init.d/before.local...System Console Stolen at line: 266 This line of red warning consistently appears immediately after something that ended with /etc/init.d/before.localThis is during the boot.Have anyone see it before ?It appears both in kernel versions:2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop
I am having a hard time getting repositories to install and even some applications. Do I use yast to install RPM's aned what about if the file is a zipped up tar file? If you are familiar with VMware, can we play cd's, rip them and burn and so on?
I have installed openSUSE-11.3 in my system.But the problem is when the load of the system is little bit higher the getting black and the performance of the system is totally decreasing and the at that time the system is also going to struck.

I am having some trouble getting a VNC session to a new OpenSuse 11.2 32bit machine I have just installed.Fresh off the DVD, tried under KDE4 and Gnome with the same result (each time a fresh install).In YAST, I enabled remote administration, open the firewall ports, and then try and connect from remote client (in this case I have tried RealVNC from windows, and krdc from a Suse 10.x client and via HTTP) all result in the same blank black screen (http does get an X cursor echoed on the screen)

I've just followed the instructions at SDB:Skype - openSUSE again, as before. The install didn't start automatically when the download finished so I used package installer. Skype appears to start normally, before promptly closing itself after about 3-5 seconds. When running it from terminal, I get the message:
When I run the YAST Online Update OR Software Management OR Zypper, the Updates (or install of new software) fails when the download of the Delta RPM reaches 98%. I have added ALL of the community repositories and have Imported the appropriate certificates. When watching the DeltaRPM or normal RPM download, it starts the download at approx. 4Mbs/sec until it reaches 98% of file downloaded. Then, the speed drops to 0 B/sec and the file download fails. This then prompts a Retry which again fails when it reaches approx 98% download.
It does not matter if I am doing an Online Update, Doing a Software Management (to install new software) or using Zypper in a Terminal session, the result is the same. I have even gone so far as to connect the machine DIRECTLY to the internet, bypassing all firewalls so as to ensure it is not a firewall issue.

I have Dell D400 Laptop with Open SUSE 11.0 installed on it. I have to configure LAN through UTP cable with my WiMax Device. Is there anybody who could guide me through this configuration?
There was an option in openSUSE about booting an installed system if grub is deleted from the MBR. This option is no longer available and there is no option for automatic recovery. For these reasons, I want to boot an installed system from command line. I know how to mount the root partition where openSUSE 11.3 is installed, but how to proceed?
I downloaded a live KDE-CD and will install from that on hard disk. My box has 4 GB RAM so I understand I need a *-pae kernel ("Physical Address Extension") to be able to use the memory fully.
Can I install the kernel e.g. from [URL] via YAST, or does it need other libraries / software as well and so the system becomes unstable, would anybody know?
When I go to single user mode for resetting root password, It ask root pawssword for login.The message displayed on prompt is "Give root password for login.On the boot prompt, I select kernel and press 'e' and after one space type 1 for single User mode and then press 'b' for booting.It shows message entering in single user mode but ask root password. Even I tried into rescue mode, but I couldn't ser root password.In rescue mode on prompt, It shows rescue login: I typed root, But when typed 'passwd' foe resetting root pawssword,It shows message unknown user and not authetication.
how to install a D-Link Access Point on Suse 11.0 or steer me toward documentation that will do that? I configured the device on XP following instruction from this forum and the AP configured perfectly.The AP is plugged directly into the network port on the computer. It *should* function correctly without a router. I tried a restart and Suse has no idea it's there. The computer is currently configured for a wired connection which needs to be changed. The computer itself is going to be used as a small home storage server.
I've pre-partitioned my HDD and want to install 11.2 on the second primary partition.However, when using the installer, I can't get Suse to install on the prepared 20gb partition - it keeps insisting it wants to install on the large unallocated section of the drive.
I find the partitioner somewhat hard to use and the answer may be staring me in the face but I can't see it.
I installed ubuntu on a second hard drive.Nowhere did the fracken ubuntu installer ask my permission to over-write my mbr but that's exactly what it did.I'm booted off the rescue CD trying to restore the mbr to how centos left it (I'll add ubuntu to grub manually) but I can't boot into rescue.linux rescue results in a kernel panic suggesting I need the noapic argument. Makes sense, I needed that to install and need that in grub.linux rescue noapic boots into the installer, not rescue.How do I boot into rescue mode with the noapic kernel argument?
My screen resolution was off so I changed it via this thread [URL] The resolution is fine now but I can only get in in safe mode. When I try the normal way it wants me to login in and then type something in I don't know. On earlier systems it was "startx" but that doesn't work with 11.3.
