Hello,
I installed the last version 11.1 as afirst time using Linux.
Dual boot with winXP. Everything looks to work fine, have internet access, firefox and thunderbird running.
There is no way to update/dowload option packages.
“Couldn’t resolve host ‘download.opensuse.org’”
Same error for every repository line.
Could somebody help?
Thank you in advance
Do this and try again
Disable IPv6 - openSUSE Forums
post the result of a terminal:
zypper lr --details
report back
Dear Sir,
It works !:). I have got to do it also in mozilla’s applications. Didn’t think it were also necessary to reach suse server.
Better ask befor make mistake …
Witing about mistakes, after meeting this ex-problem, I tryed to “repair” the application with the DCD i wrote and used to install.
Making this the boot section has been modified and I have no acces to boot winxp anymore.
As I am in a “trial” phase to run suse forever, I still need to run my old xp.
Is it a way to change the boot selection to be able again to run winxp ?
Many thanks in advance
Open a terminal and type: su
then your root password
now type
cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
then
fdisk -l
Post both results here
Ok.

is it what you need ?
many thanks for your help
Yes, this info is correct BUT we need to know which drive and partition holds the windows system you want to boot. If there is more than 1, explain.
sda is windows installed on this drive - which partition
sdb is windows installed on this drive - which partition
sdc is windows installed on this drive - which partition
Hello again,
First time in linux… I feel like a baby walking for the first time.
I finally found something with baobab : sdc1
Thank you so far
Add this to the bottom of the menu:

To edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst do one of the following depending if you use kde or gnome, from a su terminal:
kdesu kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst
or
gnomesu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
I’m not certain I have this right exactly, I’m no grub expert. @swerdna might see this post and step in, he knows his grub.
Hi again,
It is working again.
Without your help, my first experience of linux would have end with a taste of sadness…
Many thanks
OMG. You mean I got it right!
Phew!
Happy times for you;)
