Time to pop it open and look. Likely you'll see several bad ones. If you don't see any on the motherboard, open up the power supply and look inside it.

[opensuse] Open SuSE 13.1 on Dell 4400
by Carl Spitzer 23 Mar '14

23 Mar '14

seems to be useless whats more to try to get wireless working I seem to need hplip-hpiJs and Java-1_7_0-openjdk. attempts to install from the dvd do not work even with a clean install. Now I read this one core processor may not work at all because of this systemd. Is there a way to correct these flaws other than installing 11.4 which works on most all of the rest of my computers. -- Lynux the choice of a GNU generation ,= ,-_-. =.

[opensuse] Can't install partitionmanager
by James Knott 23 Mar '14

23 Mar '14

I recently tried to install partitionmanager using Software Management in Yast. However, it fails due to a dependency on kdebase4-runtime 4.12, but 4.11.5 is all that's available. How is it that we can have packages available that have dependencies that are not also provided? I'm running 13.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Sorry that link didn't help resolve things, Aether.
