Could be something about that NFS mount. To narrow down; point it to
/home/user/something that is not on NFS but on the local FS instead
and see what happens.

So the driver was not disabled when you tried on SSD? If the purpose was to
identify the cause for a problem,  then why would you enable a driver on
SSD and disable it on SD; instead of keeping it either enabled or disabled
on both? You would keep the system on SSD "the same as it was on SD", so
that the only difference would be the device the OS is running on, which
would help narrow down the problem and identify it's relevance to storage
device used...

That hdparm switch is capital "i", not lowercase "L"...

sda is an ATA drive, and sdb is a usb stick in the above examples. You
cannot force that sdb use dma since it doesn't support dma. In case of a
drive that supports dma, then "hdparm -d" should help.

I'd expect that even though PIO is a cpu intensive IO, system should not
stay that heated when it is idle IO wise. I'd try the same using a usb
stick to observe the result and compare...

Hi,

Does it happen only when the OS is running on microSD? Have you tried to
boot using a live iso either on a CD or on a usb stick? Have you looked
thru /var/log/syslog and dmesg to see if there is anything relevant?

Both freedom and stability are still good things to have while going

OpenSuse can be as stable as well, but the main perfection with Suse

However; "perfection" for a novice is not just to find another OS or
GNU/Linux distribution using which they can do everything on a stable
GUI. What eventually is more important is the scene behind the GUI. I
have to admit that GUI helps a novice get things configured and work
rather quickly and easily, but by achieving the same result the hard
way, which takes more time; a novice can end up with real-world
experiments. This is when the "objective accomplished" when the matter
is "learning Linux"; even for a regular user...

I have no objection to any other distribution in this matter; that's
why I said "...(at least) one of the best GNU/Linux distributions...".
But don't forget that OpenSuse is a testing environment for SLES, same
way Fedora is for RHEL. Well; this doesn't mean they are bad distros,
but a fact is still a fact:)

Not really; Debian is (at least) one of the best GNU/Linux
distributions to use if you want to experience the excitement of
discovering the real Linux/Unix stuff behind the GUI. Otherwise;
Debian again is one of the best distros considering stability and
freedom.

Hi Paul,

Re-creating the following symbolic link pointing to the application
you prefer should be sufficient:

~$ file /etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser
/etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser: symbolic link to
`/usr/bin/epiphany-browser'

Hi Rob,

/dev/ptmx has nothing to do with the camera; it is used for pseudo-terminals.

Try loading the modules "videodev, uvcvideo and v4l1_compat" manually,
and then run "file /dev/video0" to see if the video device is
registered. You can also see this in /var/log/messages" after loading
the modules.

Regards,
Burhan

Have you removed Jack? If not, stop or remove it and try VLC with ALSA again.

Hi,

ia64 is not the correct architecture for i5.

You can install i386. But if you want to take advantage of 64 bit,
then you should install amd64 or x86_64.

Try to bring up the interface(s) manually to see if that works. Should
at least help to isolate the problem.

What is the expectation? If it is to shutdown after a minute, replace
"now" with actual time when you want the system to shutdown. For
example:

shutdown -h 12:34 System going down in one minute!

For further information;

man shutdown
