Hi Rob, I'm not in Canada at the moment, but I'll look into your issue as soon as I come back. Until then, feel free to get the official .iso from our site - www.opensuse.org My apologies for any inconvenience and I will get back to you as soon as I'm back north of the border. ________________________________________ Sean Rickerd Ingénieur Commercial/Sales Engineer SUSE 514.834.5778 >>> Rob Echlin <rob [ at ] echlin [ dot ] ca> 8/12/2013 12:56 PM >>> Hi Rick, Sorry, I was even less clear than normal in what I meant. What I am trying to run is the installer to install SUSE onto my hard drive. That's the app I don't know the name of. Some menu systems allow you to right click on a menu entry and read it or even edit it. Not this one. If I know the name I can run it from the command line, as root. I also noticed that other things don't run because they can't find GTK-GUI. CLI mode may have failed because there is no terminal running when you run an app by clicking on its icon. At least that's what I think it means when it says "Ncurses selected but no terminal available". Does anyone know what the name of the application is in SUSE that installs SUSE onto the hard disk from a Live USB stick? Did anyone else try to install from the usb sticks that Sean Rickerd provided at the meeting last Tuesday? -- Rob Echlin, B.

It's not a program. it relies on terminfo or termcap to give it the metrics to manipulate the cursor and text in your terminal.

"Ncurses selected but no terminal available" I'm guessing that GTK could not run for some reason to give you a gui, CL mode is the failover and then that bombed too because ncurses is not happy. Maybe terminfo is not correct? I don't think that has ever happened to me. There are zillions of terminfo definitions, but only 2 or 3 are used much. Don't know where it is set. Prolly try getting teh gui to work first. I can't figure out how to run it from the command line - no idea what it is called. Suggestions? Thanks! Rob -- Rob Echlin, B.
