got a Netbook

Hi
I have an ASUS 1000HE with 2GB of RAM, and running GNOME 3.0 without
any issues. Touchpad works fine. It wants to connect to my phone as a
modem either via USB or Bluetooth but don’t use it so not sure how that
would go (I’m guessing ok).

Boot to desktop takes around 40 seconds, but looking at one of he
Segate hybrid drives for it which should improve that. Everything works
OTB for me, SD reader, USB, external monitor, suspend, hibernate, yada
yada…

the ability to boot from USB or not is normally controlled in the BIOS
(and not the installed OS) so i doubt you changed it while in openSUSE…

so, look though the BIOS set up screens and readjust it to allow USB boot…

I had looked through the bios and in the boot settings. There’s no option to boot from USB, just HD or ethernet. Odd, as I installed OpenSUSE from a usb stick.

My memory is a bit foggy as it was a while ago I had messed with the netbook. Heh, I cannot recall where it was that I was messing around. Maybe it was something in Grub I knocked out, there is no option to boot except for 11.4 and the failsafe version.

As I said earlier though, 11.4 is rock solid for me here. This issue is very low priority for me. Still though, thank you for your response and time.

I had a similar issue a while ago. But it solved itself… Maybe the USB stick where you try to boot from is not set up in the right way?
