mounted by kernel-device name
Hi, I'm updating my system from 10.1 to 11.2. After showing the partitions, the updater said that one of the partitions in \dev\sda6 was mounted by kernel-device name and said that this was not good since those names could change, and recommended that I abort (I did abort) and using my old system I should rename a... 30 Dec 2009 11:59

Kpowersave icon - suspend option greyed out
Using OpenSUSE 11.0 with KDE3 Suspend to RAM works OK on this Lenovo R60e laptop. Usually I do it by right-clicking on the Kpowersave icon and selecting it.

So the script should check first and if there's no connection, wait and check again. How should I check the ... 31 Dec 2009 23:04

Firewall confusion
On Windows, I use the free version of the ZoneAlarm firewall. This allows me to control access to the internet and to the "trusted zone" on a per-application basis. When an application first tries to access the internet, ZoneAlarm asks me whether I want to allow access. I can give/refuse access either this tim... 29 Dec 2009 04:15

I just turned on my laptop that has Windows Vista and SuseLinux 11.1. The Splash screen was originally plain green, but now I comes up as a winter scene with "linux" type penguins running around.

/var/log/kdm.log file now 7.3GB HELP
Using 11.2 with KDE 4.3.1. I did a clean install of 11.2 about three weeks ago. I noticed my root folder has expanded rapidly and have tracked this down to the /var/log/kdm.log file, which is now 7.3GB in size. Every time I try to open the file the editor crashes. What is in it? Can it be deleted? How can ... 26 Dec 2009 12:10
