Hi,
I have removed IcedTea packages but I am unable to run Sun Java after downloading the recommended version from sun website as per the instructions at Installing Sun’s Java on openSUSE - openSUSE
I do a lot of web games and need sun java installed.
In addition, I need help with -
Installing fdisk or similar.
Read and write for ntfs partition on same hard disk. I’ve Samba but SUSE can’t see 2 ntfs partitions on same hard disk.
Gnome/ LXDE desktop install.
Testdisk install.
Gparted install.
Convert .deb packages to .rpm and install those. I used to convert .rpm to .deb in Ubuntu with alien tool.
Best,
David
The principle applies for both 32 and 64Installing 32-bit Java the Yast way - openSUSE Forums
see my sig for other guides.
You’ll usually get better responses posting seperate threads for each topic.
Installing fdisk or similar.
fdisk is a standard Linux command. See ‘man fdisk’.
Gparted install.
It’s available on the build service, but normally you would use the gparted live CD.

Hi,
I got Gparted live cd, Rescue Disk and other recovery tools with partition manager in it. I am trying to figure out why suse cant read or connect ntfs. Not a great fan of Gparted, it messed my hard disk once and had to run testdisk to restore the partitions. :\
I apologise for making a single thread for multiple issues but it helps to organize it in single tab in browser.
Managed to get fdisk -l output
Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
sda2 is data/storage, will like to share this partition system wide.
Best,
David
In opneSUSE
cat /etc/fstab
and as su -
fdisk -l
[QUOTE=caf4926;2178923]In opneSUSE
cat /etc/fstab
Hi,
Please find here -
linux-lst5:/home/david # cat /etc/fstab
Below is fdisk -

Can’t open kwrite, reported a bug. Will install gedit if available in rpm and edit the file.
Are you doing this from a openSUSE install? 11.2?
kwrite is a very basic application for kde. It not working is VERy odd. An option would be to try kate
su
zypper in kate
then user terminal do
kdesu kate /etc/fstab

Hi:
This is the current fstab confi, let me know if it is right or how .
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320418AS_9VMD0YPT-part5 swap swap defaults 0 0
I will now reboot and get back.
I did it from terminal at first but then I used alt + f2 and a command.
You have not edited the file, you need to use a text editor.
kwrite or kate will do it.
If kwrite is not working for you, something is wrong.
I suggest you run
zypper ref
then
zypper up
see if any updates come in and improve things.
I may be on and off the forum for a bit this AM (UK time). So be patient.
I would like to see your repo list too
zypper lr -d
You rebooted and still can write to them?

I did edit and saved the file, did post the edit here.
