I am having a poblem accessing partitions. I use dosemu to access three fat32 partitions: dosc, dosd, and dose. They point to /media/dosc, ... My fstab follows:

Maybe one of your 'poblems' is, that dosd doesn't point anywhere, concerning the fstab file you just c&p-ed here :(

Pelibali Two of the partitions (a reiser fs and the dosd fat32 file system are handled by cryptotab, as they are encrypted. Adding umask=000 to the dosc and dose

Hi everybody

I've spent the whole day trying to install the 9.3 on a Dell Precision 370 (with a NVidia graphics card). The problem is the following :

I can boot on the dvd and the install software do the 2 phases of the installation (partionning the system and installing the base, doing the first boot and finalizing the installation). When the installation is finished (basically I've installed a KDE complete system, accepting all the default + ssh) I've rebooted the system. The beginning of the boot seems to be ok and the differents settings are all marked "done". When the system try to start the kdm, it displays a clock during some seconds and then only the mouse pointer on a black screen and nothing else happen. Even the keyboard does not let me to do anything (like a ctrl-alt-f1 to have an terminal for example). I can access the machine through ssh and I don't see anything wrong. But something is wrong because an "init 3" through ssh session does not have any action.

I know that my description of the problem is not precise enough to receive a solution, but if you can give me an hint for the direction where I should look... I did not found anything on the archive of the list ;-)

Thank you very much for your help

Put 3 in the boot prompt. This will boot in runlevel 3. Then login at the console and startx. See if something strange goes there. Also, you may try sax2 from the console, and setup some low resolution mode to see what will happen. Sunny

You should do a text install and then use Yast-Sax2 to properly config the X system. If it can't figure it out, choose the VESA driver and you will be able to see a X screen. You can also telinit 2 and then SaX2. Fix it and then sync sync sync then telinit 5. Adam

Hello, I'm trying to configure SuSE 9.3 Pro on my Dell Dimension 9100. Just now I've a little problem with sound. If I log in as user, the application KMix say that it cannot found any mixer and therefore, I don't have any sound. But if I log in as root in KDE, the sound does not shows any problem ans I can hear all the system alarm I've set. I suspect that the installation does not set the right for the users to use the sound system, but I don't know how to fix that... Can you please give me an hint ? thanx claude

Looks like sound driver problems, run "rcalsasound restart" and see if it fails,

if it works, kmix will fire up. Also "lsmod|grep snd" to see what is loaded. I found 9.3 didn't configure my intel8x0 on-board sound card, luckily I had the old /etc/modprobe.d/sound file stashed away. Details of the sound card would help.

Since my first mail, I've tried different thing. For example, if I try to start alsamixer as user, the error message is : alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Permission denied If I try to start it as root, no problem...

thank you for your help !
