Hi all,
Since I could not bear the noise the video card's fan was making, and was afraid the high temperature kills the video chip before time, decided to go back to 12.2.from 12.3. As I learned there is no fglrx-legacy driver in 12.3 for my old ATI 48xx card, so had to use Mesa instead. Going back to 12.2 is not simple. I try to install from live KDE from an USB stick (has no DVD at the moment). There is no net connection after installation and my other HDD is not mounted. The major thing is that the HDD is spinning endlessly and I cannot figure out, what does it do or what does it looking for. I could start net and mount the other HDD in the first minute ( (in repeated boot ups) while the system is usable, after that it is extremely slow or does not respond at all. The cause is somewhere in KDE I suspect, because in failsafe (not KDE failsafe) mode or in CLI the HDD does not spin madly. So I tried to update KDE from 4.8.4 to somewhat higher version and separately install Fglrx-legacy, but after that the system could not reboot. Only GRUB is seen on the screen and the system halts (though i set grub2).
Any hints are welcome, how can I remedy these problems. I also have a WIN 7 on the same HDD.
Thanks, Albert ,Hi all,
I reply to myself, after two night's struggle, arriving back to where I started from. As I said, managed to boot into runlevel 3, using YAST installed KDE 410 packages and did not manage to reboot. I could not read and understand the text during the process, but it complained twice about grub and initrd. After that tried several combinations of bootloader, none succeded, except this one: GRUB2 in MBR and dev/sdg ( the last option in system start settings) which is my main disk. Interestingly, this disk is called sdg upon installation and sda after that. I could only try combination with GRUB2 since for GRUB I always got some warning regrding BIOS and lb24(?) and that system may possibly will not boot. Carlos, if you thought of Nepomuk as the indexer, then it is not running. I could not execute "iotop" command, since it was not found. Next time I will try to understand what Felix wrote about GRUB settings. Until then I have to use WIN7 to do some work.
