entz,

Two things to check to see if your favorite packages are already available on OpenSUSE 10.3 before installing it:

Go to the Build Service search page, click the 10.3 bullet and enter your program.

Go to packman.links2linux.com and use the search there and see if 10.3 versions come up.

Just about everything out there already is in some 10.3 repo, whether Packman or a Build Service repo. I've found a bunch of stuff I always needed to compile on OpenSUSE 10.2 or Debian Lenny and folks have made them available for package manager installs in YaST or even one-click installs on OpenSUSE 10.3.

If anything there appears to be more available now than before.

hi steve_ervin21,

I had the same problem.I got an error message stating that dev/hda1 is not possible to mount, that there was something about NTFS partition Windows/C saying that wins were not shut down properly. So I did "fixmbr" first and then SUSE setup went fine, without problems.

Well I installed opensuse 10.3 without any hickups to speak of. It took me about 3 hours to install the base system and then 1 hour to install upgrades and optional packages. I think that this version is very good, but then again maybe I won the hardware lottery?

Micro420, to use flash on a 64 bit platform you will have to use nspluginwrapper. It is located here http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/pr...spluginwrapper

when did you do the fixmbr? after it failed mounting it and it gave you the "&" where you can type in commands?

Hi steve_ervin21,

I did fixmbr after I got the message. I inserted WinXP disk and when I was asked what I want (repair or go on with install) I started repair. In terminal window I go to c:/Windows/system32/fixmbr. After that I inserted SuSE dvd and start the installatin again.

Angry Xen on SuSE 10.3: doesn't hibernate

[QUOTE=Micro420;2916372]Hey guys! I switched to SuSE 10.3 x64 from Ubuntu as my main system (for now) since it has the new Xen 3.1.

One problem I have seen is that I can't put my computer in hibernate or sleep mode. It just locks the screen asking for my password. My computer doesn't physically do anything and it's still running. Very weird.

........................................................................

Hi Micro420, did you solve this problem?
I also cannot get Xen to hibernate or to suspend on SuSE10.3.
I just don't get the option to do it.
My kernel should be
vmlinuz-2.6.22.18-0.2-xen

I am not sure if the problem existed from the beginnig or only after I installed more partitions with Ubuntu, SuSE 11.0, and Fedora 10, where hibernate works fine.


Well, this is my first post here, I hope everythings where and how it should be!
