[opensuse-factory] 10.2B2 first impression + bugs :)
by Volker Kuhlmann 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

Wow, that looks just ever so much better than 10.1!! Cool photo when booting the DVD. The package selection and the use of colour is really good. The "evaluation" bit when configuring the installation is superbly fast now. Minor: When clicking on "more info" to find out exactly what information will be transmitted to Novell for update-source configuration, the first message is "contacting server". A bit of a laugh, but not a good idea for boosting confidence in privacy. During package selection (as part of initial install) I de-selected zmd, zen-updater, and whatever the third one is in the same group. They still got installed and used though. Is this intentional? Did I do something wrong, is this a bug, or not yet implemented? Through work I had a lot to do with Debian recently, and there, multiple repository configuration is easy, dependency resolution a matter of seconds - beats the living daylights out of zmd. Sorry, but has to be said. No inst-sources are online yet, so can't test the yast tool(s) for sources config and repo handling. Major: Installation went smooth as, except for grub installation, which is as critically broken as it is in 10.1. Yast proposes /etc/grub.conf which grub --batch </etc/grub.conf barfs on (at least yast gives the option of retry!), and in some cases the generated /etc/grub.conf is syntactically incorrect (uses "/dev/md", omitting the digit). Will enter bug shortly.

[opensuse-factory] rw cd's liability
by jdd 12 Nov '06

I just want to warn others than RW cd's are really not liable. Actually I have some (handfull) of RW cd's I use for several years, now. However I use then quite few, no more than 10 or 20 writing each and now I have writing failures. It's easy to verify this using K3B verify feature, so use this... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

When I get a dependency problem reported from zypper, I would expect the ignore to still install the package (by ignoring the dependency issue). What I find is the ignore skips the offending package and the abort action does what I expected of ignore.

[opensuse-factory] DBUS 1.0
by Hugo Costelha 10 Nov '06

So, DBUS 1.0 was released yesterday, and it seems, but I am not completely sure, that is pratically the same as 0.95, so I guess openSUSE 10.2 RC1 will already have the DBUS 1.0, right? This means that we will no more have problems with ABI changes, and no more problems (conflicts) when installing more recent versions of programs that use DBUS.

[opensuse-factory] Banshee 0.11 in openSUSE 10.2?
by Peter Flodin 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Another Novell project Banshee, the iTunes-like audio player and media device synchroniser, has recently released version 0.11. http://www.banshee-project.org/Releases/0.11.0 This release has substantial improvements over the 0.10.x version, my favourite, which is podcasting support through an improved official plugin, which I have been using in the CVS version. I have two questions: 1. Will it be in openSUSE 10.2? 2. Are there rpms for SUSE somwhere? I am surprised that a Novell sponsored project doesn't have Suse RPMS as part of it's download. The openSUSE buildservice needs some internal marketing perhaps...

[opensuse-factory] updates status spec.
by Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

The opensuse-updater applet, KDE version, developed in Google summer of code is an applet supporting 2 methods to get updates. The first one is via zenworks, which is pretty similar to the applet used in gnome (zen-updater). It was extended to support another backend "direct system access" which is simple and lightweight and uses yast for the actual installation and does not require linking to zypp or yast or anywhing. If anybody wants to: - write a program which mails somebody when a critical update is there. - add a backend to zen-updater which uses the system directly - write a cim provider wich lists the updates available for a system - show the updates in the PIM summary page :-) - whatever a short description of the spec is here: http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Specs/UpdatesStatus Duncan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] OpenSUSE 10.2 beta1 netinst CD install problems with VMWare
by Mark E Mason 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Hello all, I was attempting to install OpenSUSE 10.2 beta1 as a guest OS under VMWare (under Windows XP) using the NetInst image. Initial boot was fine, but shortly into the install processes, I'd get and error dialog to the effect of "make sure CD 1 is in the drive". Changing to another console window, I was able to confirm that the image could be mounted - so I'm assuming the problem lies with either how the CD represented itself, or the CD# detection code. After several retries, I gave up, and started downloading with the 'standard' CDs (CD1, CD2, CD3, etc). Everything is going fine so far - they just take a lot longer to download (I'm up to CD 4). Hope this helps, Mark

[opensuse-factory] sax make my screen go wild
by Hugo oosterkamp 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hi all If I touch Sax in any way my screen goes wild, mostly into single colour with some thin stripes top bottom and left right (one or two pixels wide). I know the mouse is reacting cause the thin stripes move change and colour. Re starting the system does not help, then it starts with the wild screen as soon as login screen pops up. The only option I have is to start with an iso disk and reinstall sax. If I want to switch from one user to an other the same thing happens. In that case the only thing I have to do is pull the plug and start p again. So in order to switch users I poweroff the laptop and start again choosing the desired user for log in. I am running on a pavilion 5000 with amd turion 64 and ATI board Radeon xpress 200M 5955 3d is not enabled I did not install ATI software. According to ATI I have to reinstall the software every time that the kernel updates..that is to much work for the time being. besides I do not need 3D yet. Linux 2.6.18.1-13-default x86_64 openSUSE 10.2 (X86-64) Beta1plus I understand that quiet a lot of those boards are in use nowadays, It might be worth having a look into it.

[opensuse-factory] Ext4 in Opensuse 10.2
by Juan Erbes 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

They are possible to add as experimental the new ext4 FS to the final release of OSS 10.2? The support for ext4 is added to the kernel 2.6.19-rc1-mm1, but it could'nt mature enpugh. I mean that ext3 is a obsolete FS.

by Claes Bäckström 07 Nov '06

Hi Been using y2controlcenter-gnome from the yast2-control-center-gnome rpm and I really love it. Have one small question only. Why isn't the yast modules sorted the same way as in yast2 control-center? And is "Graphics Setup" really a "Common Task". I configure my resolution and graphic cards once after that I don't touch it. For me this is no "Common Task" Warm Regards, Claes Backstrom --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] About ext3 as default and periodic fs checks
by Silviu Marin-Caea 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

The periodic ext3 fs checks at boot are driving me nuts. I know they can be disabled. Couldn't they be performed at shutdown instead of boot? Whenever someone starts the computer it means 100% they need it right then. Having ext3 perform fs checking on a 300 GB full drive is nothing that any user will tolerate easily. OTOH whenever someone shuts down the computer, there's a 95% chance that it doesn't need it right then anymore (it's not a reboot). However, there is a small problem with my suggestion. There is a chance that the fs check at shutdown finds an error that needs user intervention. In that case I think there must be a way to mark the volume dirty and go forward with the shutdown. Then at boot do again a fs check and let the user decide. These would be the steps, from boot: 0. boot 1. is fs dirty? then fsck and prompt user how to fix errors 2. run OS 3. at shutdown: should the fs be checked (verify mount count or period) if yes then fsck with "automatic fix" option. Did the fsck find errors that cannot be fixed automatically? If yes mark fs dirty. Shutdown. This way, the user would never have to wait at boot, and the filesystem would still be checked periodically. What do you think? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Especially in the Factory tree which is very unstable at the moment, these catalog files are changing regularly (several times a week) and thus have to be downloaded over and over again. Once the tree is considered stable, these catalogs get downloaded a single time and only the update tree is modified. AFAIK, zmd keeps the timestamps of the last update of these catalogs, and if not changed, decides not to download them. A short look on the files show, that it is downloading around 60MB at the moment. This might take a while. Here, probably the FTP/HTTP[S] Get method is not as cpu friendly as it could be, or maybe it's something completely different. Maybe some zmd guy could comment on this? Or maybe I should start digging around in the sources :-) Greetings, Dominique

[opensuse-factory] SPAM: 10.2 beta1, software install don't start
by jdd 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

this afternoon, I made a demo of the 10.2 beta1 in mpy LUG. after some time without problem I had two problems: - impossible to launch Yast/install software, neither Yast/update. In the two cases, yast starts, begin to show it's winfow then crashes (only the control center windows keep showing). I gave up may be one hour later a firefox session was running when the whole computer crashes (no mouse, no keyboard, completely stuck). I had to leave, so I switched off the computer and did not have the time to bring it up again. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Bug 207911 - User permission problems with CD and DVD drive
by Juan Erbes 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

Today I completed a new update under OSS 10.2 beta1 (november 4) and the problem continues. The only way to mount a Cd or DVD is as root in console with the old command mount. If I login in kde as root the permision problem appear again. Please tell me what packages are necessary for the right automounting in kde,(ivman is running) and what packages can interfere with the permission in the mounting process, or are not necessary.

[opensuse-factory] opensuse-updater questions
by Alex 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

As a KDE user I have now once more trashed zmd and rug and want to use opensuse-updater and libzypp direct. Version of opensuse-updater is 3.16, libzypp and zypper are installed. 1. When configuring the applet, I just have the option to choose between "Novell ZENWorks" and "Default". Where is libzypp?? 2. There are quite some services available and active (as shown by zypper sl; these channels have been added in the past with rug, not with yast2). opensuse-updater seems to check for updates periodically, but never ever finds any updates on this channels, even if they are definitely there. What am I doing wrong? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Beta 1 and kde shutdown
by Arto Viitanen 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

I am not sure if this a bug or not. However, I installed 10.2 Beta 1 or X86 (2xXeon) and now when I select Leave->Shutdown Computer, instead the X server starts again (I have NVidia's driver, so I get the logo screen) and I am returned to the login screen. If I select the shutdown there, the machine shuts down. So does not my user account has the rights to shutdown, or does not KDE's shutdown work? And if I do not have the rights, why the Leave->Shutdown Computer does not tell it to me? -- Arto Viitanen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Insatiable zmd
by Randall R Schulz 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hi, I've noticed that for the past three hours a process running the command "zmd /usr/lib/zmd/zmd.exe --sleep-resume" has been running at a CPU consumption rate of about 25%. It seems to be associated with a pulse of disk read activity about every 5 seconds (though I'm just inferring that from the regular pattern of disk reads shown by GKrellM combined with the continuing execution of the zmd process). I glanced at the man page, whose synopsis states "zmd - The backend daemon for the Novell ZENworks Linux Management Agent." Is it normal for this process to run on and on like this?

Strangely, I am NOT able to change it using the GUI (by going to edit preferences connection, I just get an error. I changed it in about:config (network.proxy.type = 0. There must also be the problem: It was set to 5 (accepted as default), which does not even represent a valid value. proxy.type should take a value from 0 to 4 (the error in GUI also shows something about a value of 5).

[opensuse-factory] Package management architecture
by Martin Schlander 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Presently discussion is on-going in bugzilla about the architecture of package management, mostly wrt. 10.2. I think that we should clarify longer term goals. Which imho must be to not have zmd installed by default on openSUSE, as it causes problems and unnecessary complexity without adding functionality that the openSUSE users need. I'm curious if official people agree with this? With zypper (cli) and opensuse-updater (updater applet) it is within grasp to not have zmd+friends on KDE installations. It's more problematic for GNOME as removing zmd would mean no updater applet would be available for them. But this should be fixable for 10.3. Nat Budin did this image to illustrate package management on 10.1: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Package-management-in-code10.png I've done a quick mock-up of how it could look in the future for comparison - maybe already in 10.2 for KDE users: http://suse.linuxin.dk/pm102.png Whether or not this architecture is feasible for 10.2, depends on the stability of zypper and opensuse-updater. Therefore I recommend to test it a lot. To be able to test it thouroughly we need updates though. One of the lessons learned from the 10.1 debacle was that a lot of the problems didn't become apparent until we had multiple repositories and update repos to test with. This repo exists: http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/suse/suse/update/10.1.42/ But there are no packages there. Would it be possible to provide some sort of dummy updates? Also some repos exist for Factory on the buildservice with newer packages than the ones in factory. Which is useful for testing the package management in more of a real life scenario. Note that at the present zypper is missing from factory, but I assume that'll be remedied soon. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216585 At the very least 10.2 users should be able to remove zmd+friends and still have cli (zypper) and an updater applet (KDE users only), which in it self is one of many improvements in 10.2 over 10.1.

[opensuse-factory] Repository consistency checklist
by Andreas Hanke 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

This is a short specification of requirements for a consistent repository. (1) All requirements of binary packages must be provided by a binary package. (2) All build-requirements of source packages must be provided by a binary package. (3) The SOURCERPM tag of every binary package must exactly match an existing source package. (4) All packages which are provided for more than one architecture should be provided with the same version and release numbers on all architectures. (5) No package may obsolete another package that still exists in the distribution. Only packages which are no longer part of the distribution may be obsoleted. (6) No file in the distribution may be provided by more than one package unless all its providers are marked as conflicting. (7) No package may replace something that existed as a directory in at least the direct predecessor of the currently prepared distribution with a file or a symlink or vice versa unless the rpm breakage caused by this is worked around with %pre scriptlets or similar. (8) Packages that provide the same thing can indicate bugs, and fool the package manager into installing the wrong package. There are cases where providing the same thing in multiple packages makes sense (example: alternative backends for multimedia players), but the tree should be investigated for cases where this does not make any sense and can be dangerous (example: private copies of libraries which also exist as a public library). (1), (2), (3) and (4) can probably only be verified shortly before the release. Or, checking this now would not make much sense as long as the tree is still in flux. (5), (6), (7) and (8), however, are things that can be tested at any time. The Beta period which will start very soon is very well suited to squeeze all such issues out. Ideally, as much of this as possible would be automated, and done in a similar way as a typical testsuite for software packages. I think that (5) and (6) can be completely automated, while (7) and (8) can be identified automatically, but would still need to be looked at manually for evaluation. Opinions?

[opensuse-factory] YaST question
by Andras Mantia 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi, Does YaST (sw_single) always download - on every run - the information from repodata if refresh is set to On for the respository or there is a check to see if it was really changed or not (using timestamp or filesize)? I'm have a feeling that it always downloads, but I might be wrong and packman is the one changing all the time.

[opensuse-factory] speed impression on firefox 2
by Dominique Leuenberger 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi everybody, I have upgraded to Beta 1 of openSUSE 10.2 last week. Since then, I feel Firefox (which also got upgraded to 2.0 now) much slower than 1.5 was before. For example, when entering an URL then hitting <enter>, for a while nothing happens (not even the status bar changes from stopped or something). In general, I would say the surfing experiance got much worse. I also have FF on my win installation in the office and wouldn't say it degraded somehow. (or not as much experianced). Does anybody else have this experiance with FF2? Dominique

[opensuse-factory] How to do an in-house top-level build of OpenSUSE?
by Mark E Mason 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Hello, I'm strongly considering attempting a build of OpenSUSE for an architecture it does not support yet. I have other Linuxes such as Debian and Gentoo running on this hardware, but not OpenSUSE. There was a similar thread last month regarding SPARC. There's the usual bootstrapping issues to work through (I think I can handle those) - but, where should I look for the scripts/programs to drive the top-level configure and build of a distribution? I've found the BuildServer under svn - but it's not clear to me if that's the right tool for this, or if it's overkill or ??? (or if it contains the distribution configuration info). Any thoughts or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mark

[opensuse-factory] Beta1 install report
by Andras Mantia 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Hi, I just updated my 10.1 system to 10.2 Beta1 to finally test the upcoming SUSE and in hope to find bugs and make the final release as good as possible. ;-) I used a way for upgrade that is for sure not well tested, namely System Update from YaST with the downloaded CD ISO images that were not copied to the hard disk, but were sitting on a DVD. This is all due to lack of disk space (but I ordered a new HDD today :-)). Good enough, the installation went quite OK, aside of two issues, one because of my system (not enough hard disk space, so some packages were not upgraded, altough I'm sure that the space would be enough if I would uses --force for rpm), the other one was a more serious problem: 2006-10-30 20:46:56 <5> stein(5536) [base] Exception.cc(log):94 RpmDb.cc(doInstallPackage):2002 THROW: RpmDb.cc(doInstallPackage):2002: Subprocess faile d.

So far so good, I rebooted, modified the fstab due to the fact that the IDE port on Promise chip is still not supported (reported since 10.0, waiting for the patch to hit the upstream kernel). After the second reboot, everything looked fine until I started to write this mail. The KMail composer here is completely broken, and I know it's not a KMail bug as I used a self compiled SVN version from 3.5.5 branch even before on 10.1. The problems are: 1) text because invisible in the Subject line after the first space 2) spaces are not shown and cursor jumps erratic from one place to another, making input impossible. I found that I had set Microsoft Sans Serif as the composer font and switching to another one (even other MS fonts) is fine. Did something went wrong with font cache generation? I can file a report for this as well, but I'm not sure it is a general problem. Congratulation for now, and I'm going out to hunt for the -devel packages not on the 5 CDs... ;-) Andras -- Quanta Plus developer - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org K Desktop Environment - http://www.kde.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] X.org 7.2-1.2 in Beta1?
by Jens Nixdorf 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Hi all, just installed Beta 1 onto my Notebook and almost everything was working fine except X.org. My notebook runs a ATI X 1600 Mobility and while this chip isnt supported by X.org itself (radeon does work only up to X850, none of the X1x00-Chips are supported) Sax2 chooses VESA Framebuffer for it. I dont have to tell you that the framebuffer is very slow, it looks also very ugly, because the notebook has a native resolution of 1280x800, which is not usable with the framebuffer. So i wanted to install the proprietary ATI-driver 8.29.6, which even can make a package for SUSE 10.2. But from the console Sax2 cannot start with sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx, because the fglrx-driver is detecting a X.org-Version 7.2-1.2 instead of a 7.1.99. I found this in the SaX.log: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so (II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc." compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.29.6 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.0 [atiddxSetup] X version mismatch - detected X.org 7.2.-1.2, required X.org 7.1.0.0 (II) UnloadModule: "fglrx" (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module requirement mismatch, 0) At any other place in this and other logs X.org is stated as Version 7.1.99, where is this 7.2-1.2 from? And what can i do to have the right resolution (with or without the fglrx-driver)?
