SuSe linux


Recommended Posts

Yes, during the installation you can choose to manually setup the partitions, an easier way is to use a program like Partition Magic and create them all before hand

I tried the SUSE LiveDVD, and whenever Linux finishes booting, it goes to a display setting that my monitor cannot display. Is there a solution to this?

Probably some kinnd of probrem with the X server configuration file. Don't worry there is a solution to everything in Linux :)

Thing is, its booting off a DVD, meaning its impossible to edit files, since its booting off a ROM.

what Graphic Card you have ?

*edit* I just realized that I posted this in the wrong forum. I'm greatly sorry. This belongs under Linux/Unix Customization & Support>Open Source OS Discussion. Would moderators please be kind enough to move it there where it belongs. Thank you.

Personally, I think the easy way is use PartitionMagic or any other good partition manage and resize any of the partitions down in order to make some free space on the partition itself (however much you want is up to you). Then just tell the installer to use the free space, and it wll set all the partitions up for you automatically.

Thanks for the help.

As of now, I'm worried about not being able to display Linux, as evidenced by failed resolution settings in my LiveDVD test setup. I think I have an idea how to install SuSe now, but does anybody know how to fix my screen resolution problem?

Just a "heads up", and it is possible that I did something wrong, but I made a new partition and installed SUSE Linux 9.2 Professional. The install went fine, and the program worked ok, even without a swap partition. The problem I ran into was when I wanted to uninstall it and take back the new partition space. I could find no way to uninstall, so I deleted the partition in Windows (I had dual-booted the system). Upon my next reboot I didn't get any boot menu, but instead all it would go to was a prompt that read: c:\grub. I could do nothing else at all, much less get to anything on my HD/other partitions. My only solution was to restore my computer (THANK GOD FOR ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE!!), which worked quite well. I can only say that Linux must put some hidden file on the C:\ which I couldn't find even though I searched before I killed the Linux partition.

It is not a hidden file by linux on C. You probably had configure GRUB loader to be installed on MBR and that it why when you deleted windows, GRUB could not find it's configuration files. An easy way out of this is to use windows xp cd, boot into recovery and do a rebuild MBR. Everyting would be restored to normal... :)

Check the /etc/X11/XF86Config where it says about the horizontal and vertical frequences of your monitor to check if they are in the corrent range.

Also in the same file check the driver loaded for your card. It is in Section "Device".

I'm sorry.. where did you get that path from? I'm booting off a DVD, so nothing is copied onto the HD. Even if it was, how do I access it from Linux while it is booting?

I also checked the ISO image for the DVD. Such a directory does not exist.

U can't edit the X server config file. Not in the DVD nor in the ISO ( u would have to remaster

the whole DVD). What u can do is type the option for the vert and hor sync for yor monitor at boot.

Personnaly never tried the SUSE live DVD, but it most be similar to knoppix... Press F2 or some

other key that it asks u too at boot and see the options.

The best Quick & Easy? way is to use CTRL + ALT + [Num Pad Plus] or CTRL + ALT + [Num Pad Minus].

Didn't I just answer this in another post:unsure:e:

When you want to set up linux on a machine that already has another OS on it (like windows) the best thing to do is to create some empty, unpartitioned space. Don't try setting up ext3 and swap partitions, your linux installer should handle all that for you. Just use partition magic or whatever to resize your existing partition(s) to leave some unpartitioned space, then boot from your chosen distro's CD, then run through the installer. When it comes to setting up partitions, just tell it to use the unpartitioned space, and it'll handle everything else for you.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
