Help with SUSE 10

I installed SUSE 10.0 today.

I only two problems with it.
Firstly, since my monitor is old, I always hve issues in Linux. This time, can somebody pls tell me howto change the refresh rate to 0 from 78 @ 800x600.

Secondly, when I go to my computer and right click on any partition other than the one on which SUSE is installed n click on Mount, the following error is displayed (check out the snapshot).

I got 4 partitions...
/dev/hda1
/dev/hda5
/dev/hda6
/dev/hda7

/dev/hda5 is the one on which SUSE is installed. /dev/hda1 is NTFS and /dev/hda6 & 7 are FAT32. I wanna be able to read n write to /dev/hda6 & 7 and is its possible /dev/hda1 also.

Help me, what should I do??

BTW... i followed Sushubhs advise, he had said in an earlier thread that I should wait for SUSE rather than ubuntu or kubuntu. n seriously, he was absolutely rite. SUSE rocks!!

suse rocks.... but as always i find any linux distros slower than windows...and also in windows i find windows 2000 sp4 to be a faster then windows xp with sp2.ubuntu is very complicated and suse is quite simple. but its huge and heavy and slower.the day when M$ makes impossible to install without valid license that day linux distros will shine!

yup win2k with sp4 is faster than winxp with sp2.but "as always" i find linux distros a bit more interesting and challenging. i'm seriously bored of windows 😛 . I don't hate MS or Windows... I do love what MS makes, but i'm quite bored with theis s/w now... n i need a change.Neways.... whose gonna solve my problem bout mounting??

whats the error... the image is small and not clear.

u click on it 🙁

sifyfan... clcik on the thumbnail... it will open a new page with the full image.neways the error is:mount cant fnd /dev/hda6 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtabPlease check that the disk is entered correctly.

did u add these entry manually or was it default error ?that thumbnail is not having any link 🙁 using IE6bcz it may be an error of path .. giving read write access etc.

try running this command at terminal... mount -t /dev/hda6 /etc/mntif it works, you need to add some manual entries in the fstab file.

@Sushubh
I ran the command n it gave me a whole lot of BS
Usage: mount -V              : print version
    mount -h              : print this help
    mount                    : list mounted filesystems
    mount -l              : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
    mount -a [-t|-O] ...  : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
    mount device          : mount device at the known place
    mount directory          : mount known device here
    mount -t type dev dir    : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
    mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
    mount --move olddir newdir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using  -L label  or by uuid, using  -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say  man 8 mount .[/b]
Now when i click on the My Computer icon on the desktop, I don't see the other partitions. It just shows hda5 on which SUSE is installed

did u try as a root? or as user?try open a consolebecome root (e.g. with "su")make an empty folder to use (e.g. "mkdir /mnt/windows")mount the disk, as an ntfs partition, with read-only access to all users (e.g. "mount -t ntfs -o umask=0222 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows")browse the /mnt/windows foldernormally its under /mnt or/mediaand it uses the same drive letter eg:/mnt/windows/C/mnt/windows/D etc etc.

Finally i managed to read my two FAT partitions.I went to partition manager in yast n set the mount point for the two fat part. to /media/hda6 and hda7 resp.But i can only read emhow do i write to em??Here is my fstab:[codebox]/dev/hda5 / ext2 acl,user_xattr 1 1proc /proc proc defaults 0 0sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs noauto,fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0none /subdomain subdomainfs noauto 0 0/dev/hda7 /media/hda7 vfat defaults 0 0/dev/hda6 /media/hda6 vfat defaults 0 0[/codebox]n also will the newly mounted partitions auto mount on boot??

try logging as root and use the yast thingg... there shall be some more parts to explore. use the expert mode and also see automount options somewhere.

na.... logged in as root. but there was nuthin different there. I tried right clickin on the partitions in My Comp. n changing the permissions. but once i click OK, they revert back even when im the root.Also, my display is also better when im the root. I have configured resolution to 800x600 but the K enu appears quite large when im logged in as a normal user but appears sleek when im the root.

what is the comp config and monitor brand?using partition menu requires lot of experiment as things change in diffrent distros and within distros..check whether u saved the settings b4 closing the menu.try to search mount on startup or auto mount and also read write option.

change this line:/dev/hda7 /media/hda7 vfat defaults 0 0to/dev/hda7 /media/hda7 vfat umask=0000 0 0lemme know if it works 😉
