[opensuse] opensuse desktop as KVM guest - how to change screen res to 1024x768
by Arun Khan 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Host OS is openSUSE 11.2 (64 bit), hardware supports Intel VM. I have installed opensuse 11.2 and CentOS (desktop) as guest KVMs. I am using "cirrus" video card option emulated by 'qemu-kvm' openSUSE defaults to 800x600 and I am not able to change it to 1024x768. I have looked around in /etc/X11 and found nothing that would help, xorg.conf is gone. Whereas in CentOS 5.5 I can change my display to LCD 1024x768 resolution and after restarting X I am can get a decent desktop going. Any pointers on how to fix screen size for openSUSE 11.2 guest KVM higher than 800x600 would be much appreciated. TIA. -- Arun Khan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem with booting after a motherboard change
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

After some technical problems with my Pentium III mainboard I ran into a booting problem after a mainboard change. The system, 11.2 KDE4.4 worked without hitch before the change, would not work after the exchange. As my DVD/CDrom also did not wanted to read the 11.2 install DVD I had no other choice as to install a new openSUSE via network install. Choose 11.3 RC1 as that version already seem quit stable. Got it working but I am still not able to repair my 11.2. The information very early after the boot of grub is more or less, could not find /dev/sdb3 fall back at part 3 waiting..... not found cannot set terminal process group, inappropiate ioctl for device. (this is what I was able to jot down) I have checked the partition (ext4) with fsck, looked at the partition with Yast but was not able to see anything out of the ordinary. Can somebody give me a solution? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 RC 1 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.34-9-default LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3) 12:18pm up 14:18, 2 users, load average: 0.66, 0.65, 0.33 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
