Simplex3's SuSE Linux Converts Thread
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.

Working on the 3D update now. What about my problem viewing my NTFS drive? Any other suggestions there?

Ok, open a Konsole window and run these two commands, then paste the results for me. If you aren't currently logged in as "root" (and you shouldn't be) then you will need to type "su" and enter your root password when prompted before you begin.

Code:
fdisk -l

cat /etc/fstab

Code:
fdisk -l
fdisk: invalid option -- 1

Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK     Change partition table
       fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK  List partition table(s)
       fdisk -s PARTITION           Give partition size(s) in blocks
       fdisk -v                     Give fdisk version
Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda
and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7
-u: give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units
-b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors

cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1            /                    reiserfs   acl,user_xattr        1 1
proc                 /proc                proc       defaults              0 0

Also, still not getting the 3D option under hardware. it is greyed out even after the nvidia update install.

Ah, I'll bet you have to reboot FIRST. Bad instructions on my part.

I did reboot actually. Seemed obvious to me. I am trying to reinstall the nvidia patch now.

Ok, as root run this:
Code:
kate /etc/fstab
It will open an editor window with your fstab file open. Add this line to the end of the file:

Code:
/dev/hda5            /windows/D           ntfs  ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
Then save and exit Kate (the editor).

Now, from the command line run:
Code:
mkdir -p /windows/D
mount /windows/D
Let me know what that does.

This all seems so simple and straightforward. I just don't understand why more people wouldn't want to spend 3+ hours configuring the new OS on their computers and needing an "expert" to guide them along when things go awry.

1. At least when you have issues it's possible to fix them
2. All of this information is readily available in the user's guide and on the web
3. You didn't do all of this s**t by yourself the first time you used Windows
4. You couldn't mount a non-Windows drive in Windows with or without the help of an expert

...and last but not least...

5. F**K OFF, TROLL

[edit] While we're at it, when was the last time you had Windows, all your drivers, AND all your apps installed and patched in under 3 hours? That's right, NEVER. Feel free to never stop by again.[/edit]

Uhm, are you using the LiveCD right now? If you are that explains why we are having issues making system changes. We can't make config changes to a read only drive.
