I didn't found working driver for my card yet. Using OpenSUSE 11.2 KDE, Motherboard MSI 648F Neo, Pentium4 2.8GHz, 2 x 1GB DDR.I've found, that my card should be supported according to HCL/ATI Video Cards - openSUSEInstallation following ATI drivers - openSUSE Easy Way didn't work because of chcecksum difference (x11-video-fglrxG02), Repositary Way too. Hard Way Installation resulted to disability of Graphic Environment and I wasn't able to fix that (finally, I somehow get running KDE, but Kwin always broke down, so system was unuseful).
I also tried packages found by Software search (Software.openSUSE.org), so package 'xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd' but nothing works for me, some of them provide result of "glxingo | grep direct" -> "No", some of them "Yes", but in this case I wasn't able to run "glxgears", because of error "drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22. Kernel failed to parse or rejected command stream. See dmesg for more info." Desktop Effects I cannot run anyway. how to get graphic acceleration working. It will be great if is here someone with exactly same, or similar card, he could write a step-by-step guide to do that. Starting with fresh installation of OpenSUSE (not corrupted by my previous tries) is not problem.
Attempting to compile an application that is not located in any of the repos yet for 11.3 64 bit. I have downloaded the appropriate src and untarred it. However, when I attempt to run the ./configure command here is the error I receive. checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-': machine `x86_64-unknown-linux' not recognized configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux- failed
I have made sure that I have all kernel-headers packages installed and am unsure as how to proceed. I tried using the command "./configure --build=x86_64" and then receive an error stating that the "SYSTEM IS NOT SUPPORTED" and continued errors stating that gcc is not installed, eve though it is.
Does anyone know is there any size limitation when doing RAMDISK under SUSE Linux?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHave such a question: how to set ramdisk size? Ramdisk: How do you install and set up Ramdisk under Linux (CentOS, RHEL, Fedora)? | Technology: Learn and Share
Here is some article, but somehow GRUB setting takes no effect, size is still limited to 100MB. I need to get ramdisk with size about 700-1500 MB.
I have updated using zypper from 11.1 to 11.2. Does this process update the boot/menu.lst file with an entry for the new kernel? Didn't for me.
Any rate, that's not really the problem. I have created a new entry in menu.lst to load the new kernel but I don't have a ramdisk image - all I have is a broken link initrd -> initrd-2.6.31.5-0.1-default
Where do I get the image from?
I want to install linux on my desktop which already has xp and my RAM is 256MB so which smaller version to install to learn basics of linux..is it slackware
View 5 Replies View RelatedAt a Laptop med 1.7 GHz, 256 MB RAM laptop (Medion) with shared ram for the Graphics.
With the LinuxMint 8 LXDE it is a pain to run.
Can you suggest a distro with a decent GUI that can work on the laptop?
Best if it has a LiveCD that can be testet before installing.
The laptop has a DVD drive to install from.
I decided to upgrade an old box I use as a server at home. I had been running F8, but after it's end of life and numerous patches since then it was getting a little shaky. I downloaded the KDE Live CD (picked that arbitrarily really since I don't run X on this box - just didn't want to do the whole install over the net) and off I go.
So I booted the CD and added "liveinst" as a boot loader option to kick off the install without starting X and KDE. Just as Anaconda was starting, I got the message "there is not enough memory for a graphical install" and the text based installer starts up. Kinda strange, I thought, since this box had the "recommended" amount of ram mentioned in the F12 release notes. Oh well, so their docs are wrong - wouldn't be the first time and anyway I'm used to doing text based installs from way back.
But this one wasn't like any I'd seen before. After the welcome screen there were only 4 questions - keyboard type, language, timezone, and disk options. Also, at various stages odd characters similar to the Russian alphabet started popping up in various areas on the screen. When it got to the disk options there were 3 - use entire drive, replace existing linux install, and use free space. I picked the 2nd one and moved on. The next screen said my choice was about to be written to disk blah blah blah - but gave me no option to specifiy which partitions to use or how to use them. I should mention here that this box had 3 partitions on it - 1 for swap, 1 for root, and 1 for var...........
As the name says it all, how can i install my ATI radeon 9250 pci video card in ubuntu? i'd like to be able to use this with high screen res and compiz-fusion in place of my crappy on board video gpu.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had a opensuse 11.1 X86_64 system with openoffice. This has been replaced by an opensuse 11.3 X86_64 system with openoffice 3.2.1.4. I have many pps files and these worked complete with sound on the 11.1 system but there is no sound on the 11.3 system. The 11.1 system has gone and was overwritten by Windows 7 so I can't verify the build. I know I made lots of changes to the 11.1 system in order to fix various problems and openoffice could well have come from a factory repo.
What I need to know is what is needed to make impress play pps presentations as it did on 11.1 and does on windows 7. I searched on the internet and it appears that the novell version of ooo may use gstreamer. I have loaded many gstreamer packages from packman including plugin-good but still get no sound. Starting impress from a command line does not produce any error messages.Does the novell openoffice use gstreamer or java multimedia? I have not yet tried the java option I could try downloading the novell openoffice source and try to work out what it is using. I am not sure that I have the time to go searching through the source and probably trying to compare it to the ooo source

It looks like the ocfs2console is broken on openSuse 11.4 64bit. I tested on several servers and my laptop. It works under 11.3 x86_64 but that uses Python 2.6. OpenSuse 11.4 uses Python 2.7.

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 followed the opensuse sound troubleshoot pages and can't get it to work. The onboard sound does work in Sudix, out-of-the-box so I know it's not me plugging in my headphones in the wrong socket. Maybe Sidux works because it's newer? I did update opensuse 11.2 before I started again and I did install the new alsa, but that still didn't fix it, I only installed the latest stable build. Is there a development branch that may support my sound card? Anyway, here is the vital info:

Built a new machine 2 weeks ago and installed openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 on it using the express setup (or whatever it was called). I have always done a manual setup in the past, but wanted to try out the fast way. This is my first experience with openSUSE 64 bit (always used 32 bit in the past). I have used SLES 10 64 bit without problem.
When I shutdown openSUSE the machine does not power off. It has always done this from after the initial install and after any updates. It does reboot just fine. Same behaviour if I shutdown from the GUI or from terminal as root. I either get a General Protection Fault or an OOPS with PREEMPT SMP.I must power off the machine manually and disconnect from power before restarting. System is ASUS M4A78T-E Motherboard, AMD Phenom II X6 1055T CPU, 2 x Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3 RAM, EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 512MB I have updated the motherboard BIOS - no change.

I currently discovered a problem when using the floppy drive /dev/fd0: I can't use it. I can mount /dev/fd0 as normal, can create/write a file, but it is not written to the floppy disk. Instead of that the current program (eg vim) hangs (or is "uninterruptable") until I remove the floppy disk from the drive. Because of the removal I get several errors in /var/log/messages. What I'm doing:
== snip ==
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
echo "TEST" > /mnt/test
sync [--> HANG until I remove the floppy disk]
[sync "completes"/terminates, insert floppy disk]
umount /mnt
== snap ==
(In this example I used echo instead of vim, because it behaves the same in this situation) The errors I get are as follows:
