Some problems... Jan 29th 2013, 23:40 Hi everyone, I'm facing some problems, maybe someone can help. I installed opensuse 12.2 on a clean harddisk and I updated the "needed patches". I have no linux experience or whatsoever. At leased not before yesterday... So I was testing some terminal commands (because everyone says that is the best way to do everything into). I'm still more a winGUI guy but maybe this will change... Question 1a a) I opened the terminal and gave myself root access with <su> b) I made an new user with <useradd test> and gave it an password with <passwd test>, this worked fine. c) I signed out to try the new user "test" and then a got an error: Cannot enter home directory using /. AND Call to inusertemp failed (temp directory full?). Check your installation. [I have a lot of free space]. Question 1b I tried this first with <sudo useradd test>, gave the password, and got: "sudo: useradd: command not found". I thought that sudo means that you execute one command with superuser acces? Apparently i was wrong? Question 1c After this I signed in with my normal account and went to the Yast2 – User and Group Administration and deleted the test account and create a new test account here. There was also not an home directory. Note that question came to turn off the auto logon. After testing this worked fine. Weird. Is GUI better? :) Question 2 Is the GUI KDE heavier than Windows 7 pro? I mean graphicall? Because its a bit slow now and then (opening the startmenu, scrolling, showing the 2nd desktop ed.). I have a "Intel Q33 onboard with and a core2duo E8400 3GHz" but a had never problems with W7. Question 3 I installed opensuse from an bootable usb-drive and after the installation (I disconnected the usb-drive) opensuse asked for the usb data. After researching I found out that in the repository was a link to the usbdrive... Is this normal? Greetings from the Netherlands! PS: this was my first post on the forum, if the questions are too stupid or something, please say so. I probably have some more questions in the future ^_^
