Computers Simplex3's SuSE Linux Converts Thread - Page 18

Simplex3 · 08:40 AM

Looking for some help moving to Linux? Drop the question here and we'll see what I can do. Some topics I expect we'll cover:

1. Installation
2. What apps do what?
3. My (hardware) isn't working (right)
4. Multi-media issues

Remember, if you need help sooner rather than later:

Kubuntu users:
1. Launch Konversation from the "Internet" menu.
2. Connect to #kubuntu by double clicking on it.
3. Ask away.

Suse users:
1. Install X-Chat
2. Connect to the Freenode network
3. Join the #suse channel
4. Ask away. There are usually about 280 helpful souls in there.

I'll also try to keep this up as a sort of FAQ. Non-question-specific posts will have a large, bold heading (see post #2).

*Note: Don't forget you can try out Linux without installing anything on your PC at all. Download one of the LiveCD versions, burn it to a disc, then reboot the PC with the LiveCD in the drive and your computer will load Linux and your hard disk will not be changed. You can get them at either of these links:
http://www.kubuntu.com/
http://www.novell.com/products/susel...rors_isos.html
http://www.mepis.org/
http://www.knoppix.org/

*Note: If I start asking you to run a bunch of things from a command prompt it isn't because that's the only way to do it, it's because that's the only way I can "control" what is happening on your end.

I currently dont have any servers.... but the hardware support was one of the reasons I dumped Mandrake 6.0 Not enough Hardware support..

I tried Ubuntu and it was OK it didnt scream Leave windows like Suse did,

If I had a server it would probably run FreeBSD/OpenBSD or Linux of some flavor-

Whats the Deal with Gentoo?

I run Postfix with virtual domains using Postfix Admin/MySQL. I tie it up with Amavisd-new and ClamAV/SpamAssassin. Drop a little Courier IMAP and set up TLS and you're golden. Bastard runs all day, every day, forever. It's wonderful.

I installed 10.1 on my work machine and it seems everytime I am in YAST and make a configuration change the machine freezes, and I just get a black screen.

I'm Guessing you might have an NVIDIA based Gfx Card... You may have to reinstall the video drivers...

Does Fail Safe fix the issue?

Need more details.. can you log into an console screen... ?

Well, I got my RAM card today; it fits, and it works properly. That's the good news; the bad news is that I booted my pc from the linux KDE format of the LiveDVD and the thing went through a series of very scary sights and sounds before I interrupted the process.
