Killing, Mounting and Adding

Linux, OpenSuse, Tutorials - No Comments » - Posted on March, 22 at 6:36 am

Some things related to OpenSuse 10.2 which i thought i would share with you, which i came to know from here and there.. I m using OpenSuse 10.2 with KDE as Desktop Environment.

Whatever i type here, i assume that you have changed to that directory (if necessary) using “cd {path}” (w/o dowble quotes and brackets) command and u should always be logged in as root using “su -” (w/o double quotes) command.

1) Killing a Process

Open Terminal
Type “ps ax” or “ps -a” or “ps a”, without the quotes, i prefer the first one.
A process id is shown before all processes, note that
Type “kill (process id) -x” without quotes and process id not in brackets. x is an integer from 0-9. 9 terminates the process immediately (thats what i read) and 0 terminates it softly. “-x” is not necessary though.

2) Mounting a Windows’s NTFS Partition in R/W Mode

Download NTFS-3g from here, www.ntfs-3g.com and extract the contents of the package.

3) I use following repositories in OpenSuse, and i think these are more than enough…

http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.2/
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/suser-guru/rpm/10.2/RPMS
http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/10.2
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/non-oss/
http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_10.2/
http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/Community/openSUSE_10.2/

If you want to add these repositories, follow this guide, how to add repositories to YaST,  After adding resources, first search for the software in Yast’s Repository, if not found, then only look for it over the internet.

Also if u have a capped net connection, be warned that these download loads of stuff if u add them, so do so when ur net is free. Even opening various services such as Software Management, Installation Source etc, consume huge bandwidth….
