<0> butters: you cannot use iso's
<0> butters: wait a sec
<1> diesel: what in particular are you wondering about with yum?
<2> how does a xorg.conf have to look like?
<3> showrichard: no.. i don't have cds to burn
<0> 00:51 < aka_druid> rohan, mout file.iso /mnt, cp -rf /mnt/* /suse/cd1, repeat for all 6 cds. Boot mini iso, in boot line add install=hd:/dev/hda2/suse/cd1
<0> butters: do that ^^
<4> I am not sure how to do that then
<1> renbolicious: try looking in the /etc/X11/ folder for some xorg.conf examples....
<3> rohan: ok.. thanks
<4> you might try X -config in root to create one
<3> rohan: fedora used to mount the iso images itself during install
<0> butters: yes, i know. i miss that functionality too
<0> xarius: why not use sax2 ?
<3> rohan: why do you have six cds?
<3> rohan: the addons cd?
<0> butters: i dont have any cd's as of yet. i will be installing suse 10.1 next week
<4> I just dl the mini.iso and net install saves time for me
<3> snowrichard: i don't have a good internet connection
<4> oh I have pro dsl
<1> rohan: he just asked WHAT an xorg.conf should LOOK like....he didnt specify that he wanted to create one...so, I just directed him to example on how one *should* look :)
<0> xarius: :PP
<5> Good Morning Suse !
<1> :)
<0> Ancient1: :))
<6> hmm
<5> :) hi
<1> Ancient1: I guess its "Good Morning", but, its 1:40 in the morning where I am so, it quialifies as "really late" in my book...lol :)
<6> why do i have all asian letters when i open my xorg.conf with gedit?
<1> "asian letters"????
<5> xarius: aussie ?
<1> Ancient1: no, michigan, usa.
<5> xarius: ohh
<6> yes, asian letters
<0> renbolicious: locale problem
<1> yeah...
<7> Hi rohan :D
<1> is your local set to english?
<6> german
<6> with vim no prob
<0> McPri: hi :)
<6> but i cant operate vim properly
<1> hmm ...interesting...
<0> renbolicious: can you make a screenshot /
<6> yes :>
<6> http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/9895/screenshot5at.jpg
<0> ewwww
<0> renbolicious: try opening it another text editor ? does that work
<0> ?
<6> sry, but my japanese? is a little bit rusty
<0> like, vim or kwrite
<1> lol
<6> vim works... i just dont like it, im checking kwrite right now
<8> then its definately a good thing no one her is speaking japanese
<6> kwrite works too
<6> its just gedit
<8> renbolicious: look into nano. its quite the simple text editor
<0> renbolicious: well, so set teh character encoding and locales in gedit
<8> renbolicious: kwrite is not gedit
<8> kwrite = kde text editor gedit = gnome text editor.
<5> anyone here can switch languages with kbd keys to and back ?
<9> check out irc.rizon.net
<6> ok, i changed my xorg.conf... how do i initilize it?
<6> ctrl + alt + backspace?
<10> Has anyone had luck getting SUSE 10.1 to work with a Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9? I'm having a never-ending series of problem.
<1> should work...
<1> you did make a backup though???? right??
<10> I keep getting CD read errors during installation. I select "retry" from the menu, and it goes to console mode, and dies with some message about "installation failed."
<10> I switched to another a CD reader, and same result. CD works fine on my other computer.
<11> have you used those CDs in the drive before
<11> for instance, a cd of music you burned
<5> is there a Time Server option in KDE ?
<10> If I take these CDs and boot on my white computer and do "verify media", they're fine. When I take my CD reader and those CDs and put them in the black computer, verify media in the SUSE installer says that the md5 sums are wrong.
<10> (To be specifc, I moved the reader to the other computer, too.)
<8> !ati
<12> On SUSE Linux 10.x, download the latest drivers from http://www.ati.com , then follow these instructions: http://jarpack.net/ati-driver-how-to
<0> marcusU: dma might be the problem
<10> rohan: I get the same results with "installation - safe settings" -- doesn't that disable DMA?
<5> marcusU: also jumpers set wrongly ..?
<0> marcusU: oh, no idea in that case :-/
<0> marcusU: but just skip the cd check =]
<10> There are no jumpers that I know of. Windows works fine. :-(
<10> rohan: If I skip the CD check, the installation complains about bad files. If I select "Retry" the installation bombs out.
<10> It errors that it is not always finding the errors in the same places on the disks.
<0> marcusU: oh, then i have no idea :S
<5> marcusU: that mean ONLY 1 thing. its an hardware issue. cables, jumpers , BIOS settings etc
<10> I'm looking on Google. Looks like lots of problems on this motherboard with SUSE.
<10> It's got whatever jumper settings the factory setup is. Works with XP fine. And I set the BIOS settings to the 'safe' settings.
<5> marcusU: u will always see peple complaining. so you really shouldn' be impressed. make sure the things I mentioned are properly set. could be bad cable too .. who know . troubleshoot the hardware
<10> Ancient1: I have tried all that. I also tried a different cable. I tried resetting the BIOS settings to safe and to optimized, neither worked. I just don't see what the problem could be. I've also tried two different CD readers.
<0> marcusU: so you can be sure that it is the black pc's problem ?
<11> so one CD reader worked in one computer and you took the same CD drive to another computer and it didn't work
<5> marcusU: and it always stay same problem ? bad on one PC good on other ?
<10> Adm151: Yes.
<5> marcusU: does the "bad" PC boot slower than usuall ? is the CDReader alone on IDE as on the other PC ?
<10> Ancient1: The "bad" PC is new. It has a SATA hard drive and the ATAPI CDROM.
<10> Well, new, except for having Windows XP installed on it, which went fine.
<5> marcusU: so the CDROM is alone on the cable(channel) ? new PC means nothing as mistakes can happen
<10> Ancient1: I said that it was new, meaning that I did not have a frame of reference for the question about booting slower than usual. Yeah. the CDROM is alone on the cable.
<5> marcusU: so what i would do is , "copy" setting and hardware from good to bad. same relevant BIOS (can't think of any atm) , move good CDROM with cables . and see
<0> marcusU: do a hard disk install
<10> rohan: What do you mean?
<0> 00:51 < aka_druid> rohan, mout file.iso /mnt, cp -rf /mnt/* /suse/cd1, repeat for all 6 cds. Boot mini iso, in boot line add install=hd:/dev/hda2/suse/cd1
<0> do that ^^
<0> just use the xp partition
<13> brain dead here mates.. but half to get my box back to minimum use tomorrow..
<5> tech9iner: heya ! time to sleep ! :)
<13> cannot recall where / how to switch from the
<13> this minimal graphical install window manager to kdm
<13> Ancient1 close yes close..
<5> tech9iner: ahhh isn't sleep so goood :)
<14> anyone with experience with linux on laptop using centrino duo
<10> rohan: I would have to copy the files from within XP, though.
<0> marcusU: yes, to consecutively named dirs
<13> !window-manager
<0> marcusU: like cd1 cd2 .. in the root i.e. C:
<5> rohan: could you input ";" for lines in that miniguide ?
<10> rohan: I will try that tomorrow. I also can't get SUSE to find the network on the motherboard, but I just read that you have to completely power completely from the box after running XP to get SUSE to see the network on this motherboard.
<15> 10.1 is pissing me off
<5> marcusU: which mobo ?
<15> Anyone having trouble?
<10> GA-K8N51GMF-9
<5> Chetwin: Yast+Zen .. yes
<15> I know. ghetto
<0> Ancient1: heh, i am just pasting from logs
<5> marcusU: are you familiar with BIOS settings ?
<10> Ancient1: Yes.
<5> rohan: and I don't understand it
<15> Anything I can do to help the situation? with yast & zen?
<5> marcusU: ok. disable unneeded features . go page by bios page .
<0> Ancient1: what part dont you understand ?
<15> Zen is stuck at "resolving dependencies"
<5> rohan: I need an explanation for each step
<5> Chetwin: correctamundo
<10> I will try tomorrow. Maybe. If I feel patient. I'm pretty bummed out about this.
<15> So I'm screwed or what?
<16> Chetwin: I was just discussing about 10.1 at the other channel
<15> I don't want to go back to 10. When are they gonna release some updates?
<5> marcusU: u suffer from trouble shock. its typical to troubleshooting situations. sleep usually helps to clear the stress and clarify the situation
<10> Ancient1: I really want to throw the computer through the window, but (1) we just bought new windows for the house and (2) I built the computer for my dad for his birthday last month.
<0> Ancient1: well, in linux - "for i in 1 to 6; do mount /mnt/isos/suse$1.iso /mnt/temp ; sudo mkdir -p /suse/cd$i ; cp -r /mnt/temp /suse/cd$1/ ; done " then during install use boot.iso add the following boot parameter - install=hd:/dev/hda2/suse/cd1
<0> ok ?
<5> Chetwin: what i did is add manually sources to Yast . avoid the zen updater like the plague. ALSO , it updates info SLOWLY , so let it stay ... sometimes it'll actually work :)
<0> Ancient1: now its just copy paste for ya :))
<5> marcusU: yes. a known situation. don't worry. thats how it feels :)
<15> Ancient1: So 10.0 or kill zen and I'm good?
<0> Ancient1: is that fine, or i detail it still more ?
<15> There is no more suse watcher? at all!
<5> Chetwin: i didn't kill zen ! and 10.0 ? not for me.
<5> rohan: coped , reading, THX :)
<15> What of suse watcher?
