Hello to all, I have faced two problem using OpenSuse in my one of the friends laptop. When i boot in open suse mouse pad does not support, it does not work. While the same thing just for checking what is the real problem may be, I tried to boot in Windows, and it support, it works.
You have not mentioned the distro version or the laptop model.
Second problem is Linux allows windows partition to mount, read write data in that partitions. Using openSuse i tried to use windows "ntfs" filesystem partion, which before do not allow mounting partition, but after using umonunt and remounting technique it allow to mount. I can list the data from that partition but not allow to create folder or edit data? Error: Permission Denied, Even i change to root as sudo user giving the same problem.
The newer distros use ntfs-3g to mount ntfs partitions as read-write.
eg ' mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mountpoint ( -o force ) '
