[opensuse] "Burn" iso into usb flashdisk
by Fajar Priyanto 25 May '07

25 May '07

Hi all, I downloaded openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso and wanted to burn it into usb flashdisk. Is it: dd if=openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso of=/dev/sdb1 ? Because the files are there after the dd, but when I boot from it, it just stays there (blank screen with blinking cursor).

Have I been missing something? That's I think too :) However, I have situation where I can't boot from cdrom because the notebook doesn't have the drive. But, it can boot from USB. So, I thought I can boot from USB flashdisk from the Opensuse mini iso, and from there perform network installation of Opensuse10.2. Something like passing install=nfs://myserver:/src hostip=xxx.xxx.x.x etc etc. Sorry for the confusion. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 2:03pm up 0:17, 2.6.18.2-34-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org

[opensuse] Bye Bye Vista - Hello issue with SUSE...
by Kai Ponte 25 May '07

25 May '07

Okay, just for everyone's knowledge, Vista has this annoying habit of asking if I want to save a password. On my sites, I have several with similar domains and differnt passwords. Vista mucks them up. This - plus an annoying habit of locking up on a regular basis - decided me that I'd just simply go with SUSE 10.2 and create a VMWare XP machine. So, last night I painlessly installed 10.2 on my laptop (which went flawlessley) and am now up on KDE. Even my multimedia keys are recognized!! http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2007/20070523_102_desktop.jpg Okay, one problem. It seems when I'm using firefox - which is most of the time - I get a lock up. The clock icon shows and I can pretty much do nothing but power off. EXT3 - which I noticed replaced reiser - seems to handle things just fine, but what may be going on? How can I diagnose this? Second question - since this is a dual core (Centrino Duo 2.0 GHz) system, shouldn't I be using a SMP kernel? I notice that the kernel used is 2.6.18.8.0.3-default i686 TIA! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I seem to have installed the NVidia driver via this link: http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Setting_up_NVIDIA_Graphics_Drivers#Inst… http://tinyurl.com/34lhps It seems to behave much nicer now. Also I get this cool NVIDIA splash right before X starts. Hopefully I can say, SOLVED! Now, on to figuring out how to use XEN. My co-worker with SLED and openSUSE systems says XEN runs XP faster than VMWare. -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SAX2 Default Video

I googled and can't find a way - I remember in earlier versions of SAX2 that I could change my video driver. This seems no longer the case. Am I missing something on 10.2? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
