So i reformated and now everything is running super slow. When i got to save a image from a website it just lags out and freezes and i have to terminate the window. Even when i got to bring up the process window with ctrl-shift-escape it freezes when trying to load. I am not understanding why.
Please help.
I am running a gateway fx laptop with 4g ddr3, 500g hitachi, nvidia 9800m gts, and a dual core at 2.3ghz.
Have you installed the graphics driver?
No because when I run yast and type in Nvidia for a search nothing comes up.
This may also be of some help to you: Configuring graphics cards.
Hope that helps! 
Both of these will help me get by. Thanks for the quick response :]
Ps. If any linux gurus live in long beach and wanna help me save my computer I have beer to offer in return to any persons over 21 rotfl!
No such Luck. Second invite this week. I had one to Antigua the other day.
Okay so I just re-installed.
Now yast isn’t working and the auto update feature reads
DBus error : Unable to get transaction id from packagekit.
Quit the auto updater and opt not to start it at boot
reboot
Open a terminal and go su
then do;
zypper ref
then
zypper up
Okay that is dling now.
How do i resolve yast freezing though? I still need to get my nvidia drivers (The link you sent failed when i tried to dl the pack for 11.1) and a driver to player embedded divx players.

You must be doing something wrong. Add the nvidia repo manually and check the packages for x11-video-nvidiaG02 and the coresponding packages as highlighted by the colours
Use vlc mozilla plugin from packman for such videos
but you will need to have followed the multi-media guide first

Okay i have most everything taken care of now. The only thing that is still jacked up is my audio when i play embedded videos from streaming sites on the net.
No matter what i have done i can’t get the audio to play for that site and or any site. Note that i have disabled pulseaudio.
Is there a driver that i need to play audio from websites?
i can’t get the audio to play for that site and or any site
So which is it.
Just that site or any?
How about a movie file on your HD or a DVD?
Its any site. Although I am freaking retarded and thought my whole system was messed up. When really i was searching for drivers to dl from yast software manager without first installing the repos ><. Then wondering why i couldn’t find the drivers.
I think i might have it all under control now.
Although I am freaking retarded
I couldn’t possibly comment…
You’ll get the hang of it.
