Hi all.
I am unable to find any way of accessing the gnome desktop. It
isn't offered as an option on logout/end session. I don't see
any way to log into it at startup. Yast tells me that gnome
is installed but I can find no way to boot into it. What am I
doing wrong? Why can't I find it?
Is there some other way I change the settings for things like
fonts and default email program for gnome other than booting
into it??

Hello,
I am trying to install kkbswitch but things aren't going as planned.
I am configuring with:
$ ./configure -with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64/
-x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib64/
and I get:
$ Good - your configure finished. Start make now
But when I try:
$ make
I am getting the following error
$ libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libfam.la'
$ make[2]: *** [kkbswitch] Error 1
The library libfam.la is situated in /usr/lib64/. There is no 32 bit
libfam.la.
Any ideas?
Thanx._

Hello,
I have recently acquired an adaptec 2230slp card and want to setup a RAID
array. The documentation for the card says that SuSE will not see the
controller as a boot device? I am using SuSE 9.1 x86_64 and want to just
migrate to a RAID. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this card,
and what would the best way be to migrate to a raid from an existing install?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not having any luck with google - I suspect it's a terminology
problem.
I had a bad hard drive crash last weekend. KDE froze to the point that I
needed to do a hard reboot (the problem turned out to be a memory stick
that was loose).
Tried to repair it using a SuSE boot disk and the repair option under
install. This made things worse.
2 partitions - /dev/hda1 is a linux swap and /dev/hda2 is a bootable
reiserfs (kicking myself now that I didn't make home a separate
partition).
My current state is that if I try to boot that drive, I get a Grub error
16. I can't get into Grub to edit it.
SuSE recognizes the partitions but fails when I try mounting the partition
on another drive, repair using the tools under installation or update.
I've used a rescue cd to check the disk with fdisk and gnu-parted - they
agree on the partitions but gnu-parted is reporting that I have 2 TB of
space used on a 163GB partition.
I have no clue what to do next. Should I try resizing the partition and
hope it "deletes" the extra used space or is there some other way to force
a recheck or reindex of the partition.
System Details: X86_64 on a MSI K8T Neo FIS2R motherboard. 1024kb ram now
properly installed and being recognized. The drive in question is made by
Hitachi but I don't have the details handy. However, I don't think any of
this should matter since the problem doesn't seem to be hardware related.
Thanks

Recently sound has quit working. I don't believe that this is a hardware
problem since it works when booted into another OS. I installed 9.3 recently,
but sound was working fine after that stopping at some point since.
Back when I was on 9.1, I had done a snapshot of /proc/interrupts:
cat /proc/interrupts

When I do it now, I get a much different picture:

The sound card has gone from irq 19 to irq 209. Could this have anything to do
with my problem?
I tried going to YAST to configure it, but YAST informs me that:
"The kernel module snd-ice1712 for sound support could not be loaded. This can
be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ
parameters."
Any ideas what could be going on? How do I change the module parameters
assuming I can figure out what needs to be changed?

Bill

Hello All,
Like clock work, every 5 seconds the w2100z systems pause for a
fraction of a second then hurries to catch up to where it thinks it
should be. The result is the mouse stops and jumps across the screen.
The keyboard double types a letter(annoying when entering passwords).
With glxgears, the gears seem to stop and go every 5 seconds.
Any help would be appreciated. We have about 20 of these systems
and many of them run suse 9.3.

Hello everyone:
I'm running SuSE 9.3 / 64-bit mode on an AMD 64 laptop.
The laptop has a combination CD reader / writer and a DVD reader only.
If I'm doing a fresh install, the machine will correctly boot from the
DVD and I can do the install. The machine can also boot from a CD and
successfully mount both music and data CDs and also burn CDs (this
machine will not burn a DVD nor am I trying to do this).
The problem is when I'm trying to install additional
programs from the DVD with YAST. I identify the program(s), insert the
SuSE 9.3 DVD 1 and then the machine repeatedly keeps asking me to
insert DVD 1 on /dev/hdc (which is already in the drive!!!!!).
When burning CDs, the machine asks for a blank media and
clearly shows the CD/DVD as /dev/hdc. In the 'fstab' file, the CD is
shown as
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder
subfs noauto,fs=cdfss, ro,
procid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
In the SuSE suppoert database, there is an entry suggesting a
manual 'mount' [auto] instead of the automatic [subfs] mount (fstab
entry from SuSE knowledge database shown below)
/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
Any ideas greatly appreciated as I'm not sure what I'm doing
or not doing
Cheers,
Mike

Same problems here - Fujitsu SIEMENS Scaleo T with GeForce 6600 and
X.Org
drivers. I have not tried the Nvidia binary only drivers yet.

Hi All.
I'm running 9.3 as installed from the DVD on an Athlon
64-3500+ Venice with 1 gig of ram and a WD raptor SATA hd,
and a dialup modem.
I'm having an ongoing problem with any browser I use. The
result is always the same but the exact cause varies.
Sometimes the cause is just trying to open a web site, some
time it is clicking on a link in a site, sometimes it is
clicking on a link in an email, sometimes it is simply adding
a site to my bookmarks. It seems to be just about anything
but no one thing all the time. One time a site will open fine
the next time it won't etc.
The result is that when attempting one of the above mentioned
actions or virtually any other in a browser, the screen will
either go white, or change to a sort of multicolored tweed
pattern, or a series of large orange colored blocks with bits
of previously visited web pages in them with only the three
control boxes in the upper right hand corner still visible.
These remain usable so that I can shut down the browser.
However after shutting down the browser I get what ever of
the three previously mentioned backgrounds in my email client
preview pane with no way of reading the email which should be
there. It appears to similarly affect OOo. The only way I can
get full functionality back is to either end the session and
start another or to reboot. Even there when I click on log
out I get the log out dialog surrounded by one of the random,
all white, tweed, or block pattern background patterns. This
happens no matter whether I'm using Firefox. Konqueror, or
Mozilla.
Any and all insight will be greatly appreciated!
