Re: suse 10.1 query
When you say you switched to Gnome I assume you have already installed KDE.
If so all you have to do is
1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del
2. Click end current session
3. You will get a login screen
4. There down click on session and change it to KDE
5. Login with your username and password
If you haven't installed KDE
1. Press Alt+F2
2. Type yast and press enter
3. Type in your root password
4. Click on Software Management
5. In the YaST2 window that open click on the dropdown list of filter and change
it from search to selections.
6. In that list tick on KDE desktop environment and click accept.
7. After it installs perform steps 1-5 of previous solution.
Accessing windows partitions in Open SuSE 10.1:
Create a new mount point:
1.Open a shell by typing alt+F2
2.type konsole and press enter
3.At prompt type su and press enter
4.Type your root password and press enter
5.At prompt type
mkdir /windows
and press enter key
6.Press Ctrl+D twice to close the shell
To mount windows partitions:
1. Press Alt+F2
2. Type yast and press enter
3. Type your root password and press enter
4. Click on System->Partitioner
5. Give yes to the warning prompt
6. Wait patiently, it has to read your partitons, this is not instant coffee
7. Now you will see your hard disk(s)
8. If you have one hard disk and your first partiton and second partitions are C and D respectively, then you will see your hard disk as /dev/hdc and your C drive as /dev/hdc1 and D will be /dev/hdc2. You can make out your windows partitions from the filesystem and the size.
9. After you have correctly identified your windows partitions, and if they are FAT32 partitions, click on them one at a time and do the following:
a) click on the partition and click edit
b) click on Fstab options and enter in arbritrary option value as follows
users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true
And click ok
c) For C drive, type mount point as /windows/C
d) Then click ok
If they are NTFS then in the Fstab options tick read only and mountable by user. Don't give any arbritrary option values. Other steps are the same.
10.Now click apply, you will be warned of the changes to be made, review them and accept the proposal.
11.Open a shell, type su and press enter, type your root password and press enter, now at the prompt type
partprobe
And press enter key. The OS will reprobe your partitions. No need to reboot, this is not windoze
Let me know if you have any trouble
