[opensuse] burning of a suse install CD
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 04 Sep '11

04 Sep '11

My son is finally so far that he wants to try out opensuse. Up to now he has only used Windows. The problem is that windows seems to neglect the .iso extension. It does not show up. Only in chrome with which he made the download. USB seems possible but was done without success. Read a lot on the web to no avail. The iso file seems to be there as far as he can see. openSUSE-11.4-KDE-LiveCD-x86_64-2.8.0.iso No burning a cd (dvd burner not available). Remember from past discussions that such burning is not without problems. Could somebody give me details about the burning process? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-rc3-1-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.1 (4.7.1) 17:40pm up 1 day 5:39, 2 users, load average: 1.84, 0.65, 1.16 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can't change password on 11.4
by James Knott 04 Sep '11

04 Sep '11

Since some updates last week, I am unable to use the passwd command to change passwords. When I try, I get an error message: Unable to generate a salt. Check your crypt settings. Cannot create salt for blowfish crypt Error: Password NOT changed. passwd: Authentication token manipulation error Any fix for this? I can use Yast to change passwords, but that means bring the employees into my office to change their own passwords. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by ianseeks 03 Sep '11

Hi If you don't use KDE Wallet, kmail2 never remembers your ISP logon password even though i tick the box to remember it. Is there any way i can force it to remember and stop prompting me for it every time?

[opensuse] adding new hard drive and changing cd/dvd writer
by george olson 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

Hi everyone, I want to add a new hard drive in order to set up RAID to back up my system. The problem is my CD/DVD writer is a SATA connection, and there are only 2 SATA ports on my motherboard. So I have purchased a CD/DVD writer that connects by IDE and I plan to replace the SATA DVD writer with my new IDE DVD writer. Then I will put my 2nd hard drive in the 2nd SATA port. This first question only has to do with getting the hardware to work, and not with setting up RAID. I will deal with that after I get the hardware to work. If I just shut my computer off and replace the hardware, can I simply boot back up and expect that everything will automatically mount and configure itself correctly? How does Linux look at what drive is what? What files do I need to look at/modify in order to make sure my new hardware is running properly?

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.4 nfs network install dysfunction
by Hans-Peter Jansen 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

Hello, since openSUSE 11.4 cannot be installed successfully via nfs due to #681091, see: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681091, and nobody seems to care enough to fix this unfortunate situation, I kindly ask for some advice on how to recreate a fixed installation environment in BS. IOW, how is this be completed: - apply the fix to a linked in zypp package - ??? Or do you know a better forum for this inquiry?

[opensuse] Grub hd device disappears
by Hans de Faber 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

Using: Linux 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop x86_64 System: openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) KDE: 4.6.00 (4.6.0) "release 6" Hi listmates, A week ago I bought a sata ssd device to speed up the boot process. So I installed it on the next free sata connection and copied (with fsarchiver) my existing OS. But things went wrong. To make a long story short, what happened ? The hd designation disappeared in the chrooted situation. 1. bios and grub (the normal boot starting situation) hd0 = disk a hd1 = disk b hd2 = disk c 2. rescue system and grub hd0 = disk a hd1 = disk b hd2 = disk c 3. rescue system and chroot to destination system hd0 = disk a hd1 disappeared hd2 = disk c Result, I can't do a grub setup on my destination hd1. What is the reason that hd1 is not detected with a copied OS in the chrooted grub situation ??? UUID is freshly generated on the copied disk. If I do a fresh install hd1 is detected Does somebody have any idea ?
