It isn't everyday you can make a screenfetch like this.

And yes, I did need to modify the script to work with a system as old as this lol

SuSE Linux 5.3 on 86Box with Slot 1 [1997]

SuSE Linux 5.3 was released on September 10th, 1998, and it was the first version of SuSE that contained the first public version of KDE, which was KDE v1.0. KDE was included as the default, but we have chosen a setup that included running the FVWM2 window manager as the default.

Our focus in this article is testing SuSE Linux 5.3 with an XFree86 server on an 86Box emulated machine with a Slot 1 [1997] motherboard. You can download it from here.

We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:

We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:

• Machine type: [1997] Slot 1
• Machine: [i440BX] MSI MS-6147
• CPU: Intel Pentium Pro @ 200 MHz
• Memory: 128 MB
• Video: [PCI] S3 Trio64 (Phoenix)
• Keyboard: AT Keyboard
• Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse (COM1)
• Sound card: [ISA16] Gravis Ultrasound
• Floppy disk controller: Internal device
• Hard disk controller 1: Internal device
• New hard disk: SUSE5.3.vhd
  • C/H/S: 2080/16/63
  • Size: 1024 MB
  • Bus: IDE
  • Channel: 0:0
• CD-ROM drive 1: MATSHITA CD-ROM CR-583 1.07 (8x)

Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. We’ll have to change the boot order to ensure that C comes first before CD-ROM.

Now, insert the disc called suse-linux-5.3-cd1.iso to the CD-ROM reader, then let the system start.

After that, let it boot to the installer.

Choose the language, and choose whether you want colors in the installer or not. We have chosen to use colors since the interface looks nicer.

Select the keyboard layout.

You’ll be taken to the main menu of the installer.

Go to Start installation / system, and press ENTER when Start installation is highlighted.

Let the installer load.

Now, you’ll get asked whether to install Linux from scratch or perform an upgrade. Also, demo mode and expert mode are options, but we’ll choose the first option. Then, select Partitioning, as we need to create partitions needed for the installation.

Then, you can choose whether to partition the disk manually or to use the guided partitioning. We have chosen to use the whole hard disk, since it’s a new virtual machine we’re going to install SuSE Linux 5.3 on.

Then, confirm the decision.

After that, partitions will be created, and you’ll be taken to the YaST setup tool where you’ll be able to either select a preset of packages or select a custom set of packages as per your choice.

We will be installing only the essentials with the X server, so let’s choose Load configuration.

We will choose Default system as the preset. Then, let’s verify that all the necessary packages will be installed using the “What if…” option

At this point, we can start the installation process, since everything looks OK. Verify that the disk space required is smaller than the available disk space for a successful installation. During the installation process, you might be prompted to insert another disc. In this case, you’ll have to right-click on the CD-ROM icon at the bottom and choose the required disk number.

Now, the installation of packages is complete. Go back to the main menu, and insert the first disc.

You’ll get asked what variant of the kernel you want to install. Since we didn’t install special hardware that requires special drivers, we’ve chosen the first option, which is the Standard (E)IDE Kernel.

You’ll be asked to choose whether to create a floppy disk for boot up or not. Since this is a test machine, we’ve decided not to create the floppy disk.

Then, configure the bootloader.

Afterwards, manually add the LILO boot configuration that points to the Linux installation. First, press F4 to add a new LILO configuration. Then, name the configuration linux, and let it auto-select the correct Linux partition. In our case, it’s /dev/sda3. Then, confirm that the LILO installation is successful.

Afterwards, select the time zone configuration for your country, or select a UTC offset. Let GMT be the time zone of your virtual machine’s hardware clock.

Now, configure both the host name and the domain name of your choice, since real networking is not going to be set up as this version of SuSE is very old, and we need to isolate it from the rest of our network.

Just set up the loopback.

Finally, we have chosen not to install the sendmail configuration file, since we don’t intend to use it.

The final setup phase starts here.

Let it boot to the new SuSE Linux 5.3 installation on your hard disk. Now, choose the root account’s password.

You’ll be asked if you want to choose a console font.

When it comes to the stage where mouse configuration is the current stage, set it up. Choose the Microsoft Bus Mouse, then select COM1 (cua0). Since we need to start the X server, we’ve decided not to let GPM start at boot up.

Finally, the congratulatory message showing that the installation has finished appeared.

Now, let the scripts install themselves, and you’ll be asked to sign in. Since we don’t have a user account yet, we’ve chosen to sign in to the root account.

Now, let’s configure the X server. To do that, we’ll use the XF86Setup tool.

Now, let’s configure the mouse and the keyboard first.

Now, go to the Card section, and navigate to the correct video card that’s installed to the virtual machine. In this case, we’ve chosen the S3 Trio64 (generic) graphics card.

Let’s go to the Monitor section, and select the High Frequency SVGA, 1024×768 @ 70 Hz preset.

Finally, go to the Modeselection section, and select any resolution up to 1024×768, and select a color depth you want. For example, we’ve chosen 800×600 at 16bpp color depth.

Afterwards, press Done, and let it run the X server for testing. Press Okay, then let it test the X server with the configuration you’ve selected. You should see the congratulatory message in the second image. Press Save the configuration and exit.

Let it create a symbolic link to the accelerated XFree86 S3 server.

Great! Now, let’s start the X server using startx.

Awesome! The X11 server started up without a hitch and in a full resolution of 800×600 with 16-bit colors, in an awesome FVWM2 desktop! The configuration was successful at this point!

Here are some of the demonstration pictures of the system:

Upgrading #openSUSE Leap from 15.6 to 16.0 was no joy. 😔 After the #Upgrade, #LDAP was gone, parts of #Python were gone. Python refused to run completely, and the system rebooted into emergency mode for no apparent reason.

I had to completely recompile #PostgreSQL and reinstall the above plus Patroni.

I’d say, this wasn’t exactly a smooth experience, not hard to fix but ugly nevertheless.

What was your first #Linux?

In 2001 my WinME crashed in the evening & it was clear I need to reinstall it! Everything was broken, but very important stuff was on the HDD!

Luckily l lived close to a gas station, which was opened that night & they were selling computer magazines.
So I went with my last money to the gas station & bought one with an #SuseLinux DVD (or CD) & was then able to download my important data.

This was the start of my Linux journey

So thank you @torvalds

Gibt es hier eine #Gruppe aus dem Raum #Chemnitz #Freiberg #Erzgebirge für #Linuxuser #Linux #Raspberry
Ich könnte mir vorstellen, mich da mit zu engagieren.
Seit ca. 20 Jahren bin ich von #suselinux #Fedora #siduction bis aktuell #endeavouros unterwegs.
Ich bin kein Freak und kein Nerd, aber gerne dabei

@joansanchis Hello. #debian is a good choice because it does not depend on a company. But #linuxmint #suselinux #ubuntu #zorin #manjaro are good choices for a "European" distro.

Installing openSUSE 16 Leap RC on VMware

Welcome to yet another installation article regarding a Linux distribution. This time, we’ve selected the release candidate of the openSUSE 16 that will be released later, to showcase the new installer and to put it to the test. We have downloaded the release candidate ISO of openSUSE Leap 16 RC from this page below.

The virtual machine configuration is used as in below:

First, we’ve allocated 8 GB of RAM to ensure stability, since we’re going to install the fully-fledged desktop environment. Then, we’ve allocated 200 GB of hard drive space to be able to install programs, but it’s out of scope for this article. In addition to that, we’ve allocated 4 processor cores.

We’ve started the virtual machine, and we’re greeted with this awesome GRUB bootloader screen that looks like this:

After we pressed ENTER to allow the installer to start, we’re greeted with the gorgeous web-based Agama installer that replaces the older YaST installer system.

In this case, we’re promoted to choose one of the two products: Leap 16.0 Beta and openSUSE Leap Micro 6.2 Beta. Since we wanted a fully-fledged desktop, we chose the first option.

After that, we’re greeted with a loading screen that said that it’s configuring the product.

At this stage, we’re finally taken to the Overview screen, just like below.

From here, we’ll showcase some of the most common installer features. First, we set up the system hostname that will be set for our new installation.

Second, we’ve opened the localization settings, and two of the three settings appeared to be OK, so we’ve changed the time zone to make sure that it aligns with our environment.

Afterwards, we went to the Network settings. Since we are running off the wired internet connection on the guest side, there’s no need to configure anything there. Additionally, the IP address has been obtained using DHCP with the network mask of /24 for IPv4.

Next, we went to the storage part of the installation. Since this is a new installation, we’ve accepted the default partition setting that the Agama installer automatically chosen for convenience.

Next, we went to the software section. Here, no desktop environment was going to be installed, and we wanted one for completeness, so we’ve decided to press the Change selection button.

Afterwards, we’ve chosen the KDE Plasma desktop to be installed in the Graphical Environments section of the software selection screen.

Closing this screen gave us this result. Notice that both the multimedia and the office suite, as well as possibly other collections, have been automatically selected to be installed to the final installation in the hard drive.

Finally, we went to the Authentication section of the installer, and added a new user.

Afterwards, we’re taken back to the Authentication screen that told us that the root password has not been assigned.

We’ve changed this by pressing the Edit button in the Root user group box, and assigned the root password. Now, the end result is satisfactory.

We went ahead to press the Install button at the top of the screen, and we’re shown the fancy looking circular progress bar inside the stage graph. As usual, it goes through preparing the disks and creating new filesystems.

The package installation then followed, and it took no more than 10 minutes to perform the installation of 2,182 packages.

After that, we’ve rebooted the system, and got a nice bootloader screen that looks like this:

We let it boot to the login screen that was provided by SDDM.

As soon as we logged in, the KDE splash screen appeared, but with one spinning gear at the bottom and a familiar openSUSE lamp figure at the top, as shown below.

Afterwards, we’re taken to the desktop with the introductory screen that showed us the welcome window for openSUSE.

We went to th About screen in the system settings application from the KDE desktop environment, and we got this:

openSUSE Leap 16.0 RC ran with KDE Plasma 6.3.4, along with the KDE Frameworks version of 6.13.0, and it ran on the legacy X11 windowing system instead of the more modern Wayland system.

The system ran smoothly, but the graphics acceleration on VMware introduced some stuttering, with the most noticeable ones being at the KDE splash screen.

openSUSE 16.0 reached the release candidate stage!

The release candidate for the upcoming openSUSE Linux distribution has just begun, and it features changes that were made from the beta version to incorporate bug fixes and general improvements to different parts of the system. openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise 16.0 will make their way to the final version later this year.

At the same time, openSUSE Tumbleweed and Leap 16.0 are currently in the process of having their sources transitioned from OBS SCM to the more powerful Git version controlling system. We expect that the final release of openSUSE 16.0 be at the end of September so that more stability is guaranteed.

openSUSE Leap 16.0 is also one of the first Linux distributions that delivers the XFCE desktop running on the newer Wayland protocol instead of the antiquated X11 desktop. However, it’s in a state where it’s not yet production-ready. Among many other changes, such as the new Agama installer that enhances the operating system installation experience and to improve stability.

You can learn more about the release candidate of openSUSE 16 here.
