Thu, 14 Oct 2010 11:08:38 +0000 http://news.opensuse.org/?p=4085#comment-19174 I can’t login with Virtual-Box. Fist I get the message that the login has failed. Then I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 (TTY) –> ENTER –> User: linux –> passwd –> ENTER (password does not exist) –> Enter new password –> press: CTRL+ALT+F7 –> User linux and my new password.

The login works now, but after 2 or 3 seconds it switchs back to the login screen. wtf!

Still unable to login with VMware, though, because of some crash (Milestone 2 64-bit).

I run grub2 on OpenSUSE and I did so with very few changes… I just tricked YaST into thinking it is still running legacy Grub and had Grub2 read configuration from /etc/sysconfig because mosf of /etc/sysconfig and the Grub2 config configuration are really posix shell scripts, it’s an easy deception to make on the system.

If you run grub2 “stable” you need to patch it to support symlinks with SuSE, the people in #grub2 on freenode IRC would be able to tell you where to get that patch.

If Grub2 has issues with older SCSI machines then perhaps Grub1 should be kept around unless Grub2 fixes those issues. Why not offer both options to install? It’s not challenging, the challenging thing would be to detect the hardware Grub2 doesn’t like and Grub1 will support OK since I know of no such list that exists, if such a list does, then just have YaST offer Grub2 for those it works fine on and not let it be selectable with a description of why for those devices it is incompatible with.

OpenSuse is notable in not having this buggy device.
If you want this use Ubuntu and leave it there.
