[opensuse] DVD-Writer/ROM speed limit
by Manne Merak 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Hi all, I have a "damaged" DVD that starts wobbling in the drive when it spins up to be read. Is there is way to limit die DVD drive to only read at 1x speed? (it works fine when I load it into my old DVD-player) Manne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I knew from earlier versions of openSUSE that it was possible to reset the MBR, but I lost how to do that. Can anybody tell me? Thanks, André den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSuSE 11.0 - startx fails as regular user
by Michael Fischer 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Just installed 11.0 tonight, and after a generally pleasant experience of it... well, something had to happen... When installing, I typically choose KDE to start with, then add on my own xinitrc file (modeled on the skel on provided) and run fvwm. I've never had a problem with this approach. This time, however, I get repetitive spew such as the below (also from .xsession-errors). >From the number of "Permission denied" in there, I tried running "sudo startx" and got KDE in "bomb screen" mode. Ok, its something, but the wrong thing overall. For grins, I ran plain SuSEconfig, with no args, and it didn't make a difference with respect to startx.

[opensuse] good points with opensuse 11
by jdd 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Finally I could make room on my laptop for opensuse 11... I had only good things. specially I had already shrunk my vista partition with vista, but couldn't shrink it enough; The yast partitionner could shrink again the vista partition (10Go more for linux) - very nice and all start nicely (opensuse 10.3, 11...) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
