Boot the DVD, go into "Repair Installed System", choose "Expert Options" and try one of those options mentioned here - "boot installed system" or "install a new boot loader". The first one won't find the partition, and the second will report success but nothing really happens, plus it suggests wrong parameters. Even more, after pressing Finish you arrive in a DOS-styled red window system which tells you that an error occurred, and you have to navigate to "Exit or Reboot" and again "Exit or reboot". Now if you tried to go to "Install" from the DVD, and choose Repair from there, it would work like a charm. My full story about how I got in need of repairing the system is here: http://www.techsupportforum.com/alternative-computing/linux-support/334523-a... Also, bug #463231 is a duplicate of this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Also, I believe this bug should no longer be NeedInfo? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

System turned out to be slow, panel icons do not align, widgets in taskbar (lock & log) shifted to left against panels, clock filling remaining space to right. Update and othher widgets disappeared. The following was posted as "Repair Tool", but no helpful info came back. I have a problem, which I am sure is with GRUB.The live cdrom repair "fixes" faulty boot and partitions, but after accepting, an error message comes up with "Installation Error". I have tried reinstalling several times, but some files remain with the original modification date. Find files "GRUB" returns: file:///usr/share/doc/packages/pm-utils/examples/hooks/01grub, size 652, modified 03/12/2008 file:///usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99Zgrub, size 6214, modified 03/12/2008 file:///boot/grub, size 4096, modified 20/02/2009 file:///usr/lib/grub, size 4096, modified 10/12/2008 file:///usr/sbin/grub size 119512 modified 03/12/2008 file:///usr/share/doc/packages/grub, size 4096, modified 10/12/2008 file:///usr/share/YaST2/include/bootloader/grub size 4096, modified 20/02/2009 file:///usr/lib/grub/nbgrub, size 183746, modified 03/12/2008 file:///usr/lib/grub/pxegrub, size 184500, mofified 03/12/2008 The system is supposedly up to date from recent downloads. I am at a loss to explain how some files remain unchanged after reloading. Is the bug, indeed here? Insstallation was "new" from 10.3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
