I spent 2 weeks trying to install it on my PC! 1st error: During installation from DVD it suddenly looses it: "cannot find openSUSE repository package". This is a first bug. Ok, then I copied iso image to my HDD in Windows partition (NTFS). 2nd error: After formatting Linux partitions, the message appear: "Error Failure occured during following action: Mounting /dev/sda1 to /windows/C System error code was: -3003" People say this bug is because of new Ntfs-3g driver which allows to write to NTFS partitions from Linux. They say the Windows was not turned off properly and partition has errors. Ok, I checked disk with chkdsk /F and turned off Windows normally. No changes. During installation openSUSE cannot mount NTFS partitions and interrupt installation. Many, many bugs. Ruslan Oh, don’t tell me how openSUSE 10.3 is good…

1st error:

This is a first bug. Ok, then I copied iso image to my HDD in Windows partition (NTFS).

2nd error:
After formatting Linux partitions, the message appear:
“Error
Failure occured during following action:
Mounting /dev/sda1 to /windows/C

System error code was: -3003″

People say this bug is because of new Ntfs-3g driver which allows to write to NTFS partitions
from Linux. They say the Windows was not turned off properly and partition has errors.
Ok, I checked disk with chkdsk /F and turned off Windows normally. No changes.
During installation openSUSE cannot mount NTFS partitions and interrupt installation.

Many, many bugs.

Isn't it really the best thing that ever happened to any Desktop environment till date?? And no, I am not talking about KDE or Gnome, I am talking about Mac, Vista and Linux. Honestly speaking, when I saw Vista, which comes as defualt, I was like 'wow'. Then I saw compiz fusion in Internet. I thought of trying it out. And after I installed when for the first time I lay my eyes on it... it killed me. Same thing had happened when I saw Neo dance to the bullets of that Agent, and saw Max Payne do the bullet dodge. By the way, in my HP pavillion notebook, the PCM volume control doesn't work. It shows in kmix and alsamixer but no matter whether the volume is at zero or 100, it's all the same. It doesn't make any difference. Can anyone tell me what's the problem? Have anybody tried compiz fusion. Isn’t it really the best thing that ever happened to any Desktop environment till date??

So with KDE 3.5 and YAST2 I have noticed that it is a very stable and easy to setup operating system. I just love YAST and all of its configuration options that are properly labled and explained as to what the settings are for and what they will do if you change them. Also, YAST's package management is one of the best I have seen and almost as good as Synaptic. I would say that is a tremendous advance for an RPM based distribution. In the past, I have found RPM to be difficult at best. However, YAST makes the package management a breeze. Also, the 1 click links on the opensuse website are invaluable and very useful. If you don't try to use GNOME or KDE 4 then with the base KDE 3.5 I think this is a a wonderful distribution. I will be using it for a while. Ubuntu is still my favorite among the Debian/DPKG/Apt-Get distributions.

I've found out that when you use the volume control then 'Edit', then enable 'Channel Mode', close the dialog. Look at the Volume Control dialog again at the tab Options. It probably says 2ch, change it 6ch and your sound suddenly goes on maxed too! If it doesn't work try adding 'options snd-hda-intel model=3stack' in your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file, at the end. This fix usually fixed my sound in Ubuntu and Fedora, but didn't seem to fix it in OpenSuse 10.3. For those with distorted sound issues on a laptop, probably snd-hda-intel and Alsa stuff.

But I copied iso-image to another partition of my hard disk. And then error was showed me, I set in URL string "device=/dev/sda_with_iso_copy" and it's work!

The solution I found is simply turning the PCM volume down in KMix. I keep it at about 50%, which keeps all distortion away. Hope that helps.

Yes this distro is good.......... The only draw backs I see are: -- Why have both yast and the gnome ctrl panel? (IMHO the last-mentioned should be canned) -- Yast continues to be painfully slow when doing anything else than searching for updates, adding repos and things alike...

– Yast continues to be painfully slow when doing anything else than searching for updates, adding repos and things alike…

Their package management doesnt seem to offer anything extra to compensate for the slowness. Therefor why not switch over when its all free anyhow? Surely automating conversion of rpm's to debs couldnt be that hard. Why labour year after year with slow ungainly package management when you can just copy from someone who knew how to do it better?
