Der Auswahlschirm für die Betriebssysteme kommt ja nach einem S2D überhaupt nicht (was ja auch unter normalen Umständen ganz sinnvoll ist, um den User von Dummheiten abzuhalten)?

Bug 338230 - Laptop HDDs shortened life?
by Ivan N. Zlatev 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

I was wondering the other day why I hear a couple of strange scratches per minute from my laptop's HDD with openSUSE 10.3 and I've got directed to Major bug #338230 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=338230). Is it true that after an average of 600k load cycles a HDD dies? If so how come this bug has not been addressed already? It has been filed for 10.2. I am using 10.3 and is still present. I do understand that this is supposedly a bug by the manufacturers, because they've set very small spin down "timeout", but does this mean we have to just leave it as it is and not provide a workaround, so that running openSUSE doesn't cause shortened life of the HDD? This is a fairly major issue in my opinion, what do you think? I have applied the workaround from the wiki page (http://en.opensuse.org/Disk_Power_Management) listed in the bug and it works. I was wondering whether it's the best workaround? Are the two values good enough - hdparm -q -B 254 -q -S 242 on AC adaptor and hdparm -q -B 200 -q -S 252 on battery? Thanks in advance! -- Ivan N.

openSUSE on UMPC
by Rafa Grimán 06 Mar '08

Hi :) Is there any effort being put into openSUSE/SLE so that it can run on UMPCs? I'm asking this because the UMPCs seem to be the new fad: Intel's pushing hard on these types of devices, so are laptop vendors (Samsung, Fujitsu, Asus, ...) I bought a UMPC (ASUS R2Hv) some time ago and it wasn't easy to get it up and running with openSUSE 10.3. I've heard Ubuntu is developing a version for MID and UMPCs (Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded), Red Flag's got another distro/version, Moblin, ... It would be quite nice if openSUSE/SLE had some type of support for UMPCs/MIDs. And it wouldn't be so difficult. For starters, if openSUSE/SLE could support 800x480 out of the box, that would be very nice. I know device support is a bit complicated, but at least on the R2Hv all devices are supported, you just have to download the drivers (many of them precompiled and copy them over to a directory).

Vielleicht OT

Hallo, vielleicht hat jemand schon ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht : Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Notbook, mit Vista gekauft. Der DVD-Brenner hat jetzt kurz nach dem Kauf und nachdem ich suse 10.3 installiert habe den Geist aufgegeben.Siemens lehnt eine Garantieerfüllung ab, da nur mit Vista die Garantie gültig ist.Ich könnte ja Vista reinstallieren, aber im Prinzip halte ich ein solche Garantieklausel für nicht rechtswirksam. Liegen schon irgendwelche gleichgelagerte Fälle vor ?
