I really miss the cube. It was a lot easier for me to pop from window to window, I use this to run many different traces and it's just not that quick switching in Gnome 3.

Is there any easy way to run OpenSuSE 12.1 with Gnome 2 and Compiz? ]]> Laptop rrawson http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/laptop/475352-gnome-3-frustration-4-a.html Gnome 3 frustration #3 http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/laptop/475351-gnome-3-frustration-3-a.html Wed, 16 May 2012 20:06:02 GMT I updated my laptop (Dell Lattitude E6500 8Gb RAM) to 12.1 x86_64.

This is probably related to #2, when I am docked and I suspend, remove the computer and then resume it often goes into that state where it loses all it's windows and the unlock screen it the rounded black background variety.

Suspend. I suspend to ram, it usually works fine, but sometimes when I restart instead I get a different looking (much prettier I might add) unlock dialog (black and rounded, almost Android like in it's form) and when this happens it looks like it re-initialized because all my windows and processes are gone. It also starts iFolder over again (I have a different problem I need to post in a different forums where the iFolder client usually locks on boot but when this happens it starts successfully even though I had killed it on my original boot otherwise it never finishes boot up)...

So that's the long story but my problem boils down to inconsistent resume from suspend.

Any ideas here? ]]> Laptop rrawson http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/laptop/475350-gnome-3-frustration-2-a.html Gnome 3 frustration #1 http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/laptop/475348-gnome-3-frustration-1-a.html Wed, 16 May 2012 19:57:37 GMT I updated my laptop (Dell Lattitude E6500 8Gb RAM) to 12.1 x86_64.

From time to time i do *something* and suddenly while I have mouse movement, I can't click or type anything. However Ctrl-alt-F2 works, I can get to command line, but I can't get the GUI back top functional even if a Ctrl-alt-F7 back to it, and this usually causes me to lose my work. Any idea where to look the next time this intermittant behavior occurs? Or even better how to fix it?

I'm just setting up a newly assembled PC, with an Intel Core i5-2500, 8GB RAM, and the motherboard
ASUS P8H67-V (Intel H67 chipset) with ASUS EFI BIOS (EZ MODE).

Size of HD is 2 TB - Hitachi HDS723020BLA 642, which still should have a physical block size of 512 bytes.

In 2 (conventional) PCI slots expansion cards are plugged:
a Firewire card,
and and an ADAPTEC AHA-2940/2940U2W SCSI controller.

OS setup / partitioning:

My plot was to create a triple boot: Windows7 (64 bit), openSUSE 11.4 (64 bit), and openSUSE 12.1 (64 bit).

I first installed Windows7, in a newly created partition of the size of only 128 GB.

Then I used the partitioner on an openSUSE-12.1-live-CD ;) to create the following further partitions in that order:
1.2 TB earmarked for dual use openSUSE/Windows and afterwards formatted NTFS using Windows7
32 GB swap (Linux)
64 GB ext3 (for / of oS 11.4)
176 GB ext3 (for /home of oS 11.4)
64 GB ext3 (for / of oS 12.1)
176 GB ext3 (for /home of oS 12.1)

OK, the installer deleted the first 176 GB partition, made / and /home from it,
and I had to re-create the last four ext3 partitions in the desired size.

All went smoothly until I tried to install oS 11.4 x86_64 from DVD.

In the summary given by the installer prior to execution,
I got the warning

Code:

The bootloader is installed on a partition that does not lie entirely below 128 GB.

I checked the boot loader configuration to find that
'Boot from Extended Partition' was checked.

That I changed to
'Boot from Master Boot Record',
which is the setup I'm used to.

The installer proceeds, copies the software to the HD,
but then stops with the error message

Code:

Error occurred while installing GRUB

GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0)(hd0,5)

Error 25: Disk read error

grub> quit

I have been offered to 'retry the boot loader configuration',
which I did: now I chose the originally proposed option
'Boot from Extended Partition'.

Effect:

Code:

Error occurred while installing GRUB

GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0,3)(hd0,5)

Error 25: Disk read error

grub> quit

A bit strange:

Switching back to
'Boot from Master Boot Record',
and looking at the
'Boot Loader Options',
I find that
'Write generic Boot Code to MBR'
is not checked !

I had a look at

http://forums.opensuse.org/content/1...dual-boot.html

but at least the partitioner (through YaST on oS 12.1 live CD) and the partitioner during installation of oS 11.4
do NOT list any 100 MB EFI partition preceding the 'Microsoft reserved' partition,
where the latter in my case by the Windows installer has been given a size of only 100 MB.

I don't intend to give up installing openSUSE.
I would be glad for advice.

Был приобретён ноутбук HP с предустановленной opensuse 11. После загрузки ПК и авторизации по умолчанию прогружалась оболочка gnome 2. Попробовал загрузиться с помощью других оболочек следующим образом. когда компьютер загрузился и вышло окно для авторизации пользователя снизу на панеле есть пункт "Сеанс". Там выбрав IceWM произвёл авторизацию, оболчка работает, всё без проблем. Однако после этого при повторной авторизации пользователя уже выбрав в пункте "Сеанс": "Gnome", прогружается вновь оболочка IceWM. Как вернуть соответственно данную оболочку для автоматической загрузки. При вводе команды gnome в xterm, оболочка гнома загружается, но опять же как это автоматизировать, что бы она была по умолчанию? ]]> Gnome Allarion http://forums.opensuse.org/p-russian/dhydh-dh-dh-dhun-dh-dh-dh/gnome/475341-dh-dhu-dh-dh-dh-n-n-dh-dh-dhun-n-n-gnome-dh-dh-dh-n-dh-dh-dh-n-dh-n-dhun-dh-dh-dh-n-dhudh-dh-dh-dhu.html Uninstalling KDE after installing Gnome. http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/475340-uninstalling-kde-after-installing-gnome.html Wed, 16 May 2012 18:24:08 GMT I chose to install KDE during the opensuse 12.1 install but whenever I tried it I decided I didn't like it so I then installed Gnome from the Software Manager.
