[opensuse] SuSE 10.3 does not mount the movable peripherals
by Maura Edelweiss Monville 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

I clicked on the small applet called KwikDisk If I click on /media which is shown in KwikDisk menu I get the following message: called: umount /dev/sdb1 umount /dev/sdb1 is not in the fstab (and you are not root) Can you read something useful out of this message ? Maybe it encodes the reason why I cannot access the movable media from my desktop ...

[opensuse] Installing windows last
by Jake Conk 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Hello, I have openSUSE setup right now on my machine that has 2 mirrored 80gb disks. I just got another disk 80gb disk but I would like to install windows on it. My question is, is it possible to install windows on that new disk without it taking off my grub? I know most multiboot setups that include windows always say install windows first then install linux so it can auto detect your windows partition and setup grub accordingly but in my case I already have linux setup and want to install windows while keeping suse's grub menu. Is this possible and how? Thank you, - Jake -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

On my desktop I have an intel card. My desktop is the one which is currently in the command line mode. I have a laptop as well with an ATI card. Will come to that when I get my desktop up and running. On my desktop I have an intel card. My desktop is the one which is currently in the command line mode.

I've heard so many complaints about ATI cards, that is my first guess. personally, I've had nothing but trouble with ATI on linux, to the point where I won't use it on a workstation. On my own desktops, I either use built-in intel video, or nvidia. and those have worked quite well for me.

[opensuse] 10.3 and VMWare Server 1.0.4
by John 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Hi, after installing 10.3 (another story!) I tried to run VMWare server 1.0.3 and it didn't work. Downloaded the latest (1.0.4-56528) and installed and all seemed to be working OK. After running for a while, the virtual disk corrupted (XP - no snapshot :-( ). Have since reinstalled, and it seems very unstable - breaks KDE (no mouse/keyboard input) and corrupts the virtual disk. Anybody else experienced this, and if so, any ideas? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
