[opensuse] 10.3 Problems - kstartupconfig, nvidia, intel
In order to comply with my IT department's need to encrypt all personal data on laptops, I removed my working 10.2 installation from my HP/Compaq NW9440 laptop (2G ram) and installed 10.3. I used KDAR (first mistake) to archive all my current stuff on an external hard drive. I've since spent about three hours in rebooting and installing dependencies to finally install KDAR since it was mysteriously removed from the 10.3 distro. In any case, I've got three major issues. First - I get the message "could not start kstartupconfig" right when my x server starts. The only things I could find were http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2005-12/msg00017.html and http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2006-10/msg00619.html Which don't seem to help much. Ideas? Also, I've installed the nvidia repository and changed to the nvidia drivers. Now my screen seems to freeze on a random basis - I can move the mouse around but no click and no keyboard input. Third, I can't seem to get wireless working worth a darn. I have an intel 3945A driver, installed. It won't see my wireless network about half the time. What's going on here? I've installed twice. I don't really want to do it again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I went through the same problem when going from 10.2 to 10.3. As you probably discovered, 10.3 ships with Libdar major version 4 instead of 3 and Kdar dependencies need version 3. You can install the 10.2 version of Kdar if you first install libdar-2.2.5-26.1.i586.rpm.

Thanks - I got that one at least figured out. :P I have an rpm built and on my usb key ready to go. I think on the others, since I'm installing from the Linux-Magazine DVD, I'll stick with the included sources instead of mucking about much. I'll go from there. Right now reinstalling - currently downloading online repositories in preparation to wipe the partitions. Wow - 10.1 to 10.2 was not this difficult! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
