Completely unsuable, machine friendly and so 1990... YaST-GTK has a lot better interface and is really friendly. Even command line zypper is more friendly than the one I personally hate. I'm really against saying "I hate" and so but I have no choice. Over the years the interface of YaST has not changed a lot. If it changed anything else than Qt3 → Qt4. KDE has changed, has gone simplified, unified, more powerful, what I can't say about de facto KDE-dedicated interface of YaST. It looks out of place (I'm not talking about Qt style and icons - they're ok). Just for feature-parity and usability-parity I'd like to see Qt one be comparable to GTK one (identical, I guess). I used to use GNOME everyday and I wasn't complaining about YaST then, it was awesome that it was getting a GTK interface (10.3). After then I moved to KDE4 (4.2.x) and found YaST interface really ugly. When I was using SuSE 10.1 I noticed that interface and I didn't like it. Ubuntu, Fedora - they had better, more friendly tools. When PackageKit came, there's a little problem for you: to use it or not to use it. Using it is way around to getting to basic package management, while YaST is ready. You should learn about interface then. Even KPackageKit is quite nice. And don't tell me to use GTK one, since I do, but do something for new users, about which I care right now. Thank you for listening.

Franz, Please follow the bugzilla links at the top of the article for the current status of the two major issues. M5 is the last milestone scheduled to accept major changes and new features, and marks the beginning of the "cleanup phase" where the teams move their focus over to closing bugs.

Just one advice for all that want to test Milestone 5 as 64-bit x86-64 version: The media cannot be installed on 64-bit x86-64 systems due to Bug #595545. Also if you update with zypper dup to current factory, wait until the next rebuild is finished, for details see Bug #595545 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595545), I'm sorry that this one was not noticed during pre-release testing :-( Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj(a){novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

[opensuse-factory] How to do this and some help
by Christian 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

Hi all, OK, so I have downloaded the milestone5 of the Opensuse 11.3 release and I have a few comments and a question. As a blind computer user, one can press F9 to get the talking menu when booting the instalation or Live CD of Gnome. I have downloaded the Live CD in this case. I would suggest that the default sound scheme would be enabled so that one could hear when the Gnome desktop has finished loading and not rely on the CD is working. Also, when starting orca by hitting alt f-2 and typing orca one needs to log out and log back in in order for the accessibility support to be enabled. Here comes the point where I am stuck. If logged out, is there any key that one could press in order to log back into Gnome? Or how many times should I press tab and then enter in order to get to the login button? Please, can someone help so that I can try out how well Orca works in this release of Opensuse. Just log out of gnome and try pressing tab or if you know the shortcut for the login button, please let me know.

[opensuse-factory] So noone can help?
by Christian 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Hi, OK, this is my last message to this list and noone seems to be willing to help. This is so simple for you opensuse user's. If logged out from Gnome, how many times should one press the tab key in order to get to the login button or is there some keyboard command for enabling this button? And finally, where can I post suggestions so that they will be implemented in some future release of the OS? This is important, at least to me when it comes to accessibility.

[opensuse-factory] m5 on Geode Panel PC
by Richard (MQ) 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Has anyone managed to install m5 (or anything else recent) on a Panel PC? I'm trying to work with an Afolux AFL-08A which uses a 500MHz AMD Geode LX-800 processor (with 512M RAM though) and an AMD CS5536 support chip (I think this includes the graphics too). We have an 8G CF card as hard disk. Installation is from USB DVD, selecting only 'UK' keyboard everything looks OK until the re-boot when it freezes with the splash screen barely up. Re-booting with splash disabled, it seems to be as the vt6655 driver is loaded, but in this state the machine re-boots itself before the message can be read. Attaching the serial console on another machine & invoking with console=ttyS0,115200 gets as far as 'loading drivers, configuring devices' and locks up. Similar behaviour with m4 fwiw. Any ideas how to debug this further? Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [opensuse-gnome] GTK interface of software installer in YaST [yast2-gtk] in Factory
by Atri Bhattacharya 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Dear milestone testers! openSUSE 11.3 looks to be getting in good shape, and there are about two months to go [1] before the first of the RC releases and three until the final release. There are numerous things to be excited about with 11.3 as has been the case with every prior release. One of these is definitely the gtk interface to YaST Sotware Management module [2,3], much revamped since 11.2. It would be very nice of you to test this thoroughly for bugs, but also for usability issues and suggest improvements and peeves :) here and over at bugzilla [4]. In the following I would like to run you through some of the more notable changes in the interface. Please note that there is enough time yet to make minor modifications in the design if required. 1. Main interface revamp: The package-list shown by default is now categorised by (Packagekit) groups and further separation into "Available", "Upgrades" and "Installed" tabs has been done away with. Instead this has been implemented as a separate "Status" filter (below the Category box). By default this filter is set to "Any Status". Selecting the "Upgradeable" filter here for example shows all those packages which have upgrades from the subscribed repositories and brings out an "Upgrade all" button just below the package list. The package-list can now show various columns like repositories, etc. The columns shown by default are Tick-action, package-name, and package-version. Selecting a package for installation is now much easier. For packages that are not installed, check the tick-box to the left of the package-name in the main list and it is selected for installation. Installed packages are already ticked, you have to un-check it to have the package removed. The upgrade button appears just beside the version column for every package that has an update candidate. For such packages both the installed and latest available versions are shown in the version column. When one selects a package for installation/update/removal it brings up a summary line in the status bar along with an Undo button (that undoes this installation/removal request alone) and a link to a "Summary of changes" box [see point 2]. There is a menu-bar at top that largely mirrors the menu-bar in the qt version. 2. A "Summary of changes" box: that contains all the packages selected during the session for installation/update/removal alongwith Undo buttons for the manually selected packages. Selecting "undo" also applies the changes to the corresponding dependencies pulled in automatically by the dep-solver. This replaces the list of changes sidebar implementation which was a part of the package-manager in its 11.2 and previous avatars. Also with a button to access the "History" viewer [see point 3]. 3. A "History of changes" box: that is accessible from either the top-menu "Extras" or from the "Summary of changes" box. This shows the entire history of installed/upgraded/uninstalled packages, and subscribed/removed repositories, categorised conveniently by date (the full history-viewer in all its glory has not made it into M5, it should be in factory [5] soon however and you can already try it from svn [2] if feeling adventurous :) ). You can select a package and hit the "jump-to" button to switch to the package in the main interface and uninstall/re-install a removed package from there. This is in response to feature # 305859. It enables the user to look up a package installed, say, recently that he/she does not like or finds unuseable and remove it and the dependencies it pulled in easily. This should go extremely well if the Unneeded packages group is implemented later [6]. 4. When one switches to the "Repository" categorisation (left-sidebar, select Repositories from drop-down header), the button "Switch all packages to that from this repository" shows up just below the main interface. All the development work thanks to the yast2-gtk maintainers. Discussions pertaining to all points have been taking place at http://groups.google.com/group/yast2-gtk. There is enough time yet for your suggestions regarding the design and usability of yast2-gtk to be given thorough consideration for implementation. Please do use it and let us know what you think of it and the changes you would like to see to make yast2-gtk more useable. You may reply to this mail for general feedback and/or put in a bugzilla report if you meet a crash, etc. Better still you may subscribe to the above google-group and post your suggestions there. Happy testing!

Hi, I updated to MS3, using zypper dup, rebooting complained about two missing kernelmodules: result no desktop starting up, no tty. Fixing the issue using the Netiso leaded to ncurses and trying to load the installmodules 3 times. Not possible to install or repair. 'an error occured'.... All went well untill the install should start: ti connecting to the server, downloading the modules. Than few modules missing, and stop. Rescue did work, but i did not know the commands to get it doing what i needed. Luckily i have a still working 11.1 install. Any ideas as how to get the missing modules installed, and getting the system booted? (amd modules and pata are missing, caught in a glimps) Unfortunately i am not able to get to the bootlog from this install, i will try to get the right names of the missing modules. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball, aka M9.

[opensuse-factory] The latest 11.2 kotd - can I file a bugzilla
by Greg Freemyer 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

All, I was curious about the 2.6.34-rc3-7 kernel, so I installed it from obs for 11.2 on to my 11.2 workstation. I just did the kernel yesterday, but I had previously upgraded to kde 4.4 After the upgrade, my monitor does not come back from sleeping. Its happened twice so far. ie. when I try to wake up the monitor I get an error display saying the frequency is out of range. The only specific change was the kernel I'm pretty sure and I'm testing that theory now by booting the standard kernel with excatly the same user space. Is this something I should create a bugzilla for, or is it likely to be a compatibility issue between such a new kernel and 11.2 user space.

Hi. I don´t wanna overload Bugzilla, so i´m writing this mail at first in according to bug 592193, when LiveCD finally boots in VMware, but installation still hangs.

[opensuse-factory] DICE - Desktop/Server integration
by Terje J. Hanssen 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Hi list, Maybe wrong list to ask these questions, but yet. The DICE package for 11.3 M4 still holds version 0.1.9. Is there ongoing developement on DICE? According to http://en.opensuse.org/DICE the DICE Manager has a login feature (auth-agent) nautilus-dice is a nautilus extension that exposes shared document (Teaming) actions in the native file browser. At least DICE is a openSUSE project and available for the latest openSUSE, contrary to the proprieatary Novell Client for Linux which is a delaying factor for deployment (still not available for openSUSE 11.2). What I wonder is if DICE could be extended to get a generic, simplified/automatical login and file mount for openSUSE clients networked with openSUSE/SLES/OES2/NOWS servers? Rgds, Terje J.

So I rather go with monday and be safe. The factory tree synced out today and is already marked as M5, but we had to fix the libpng14-32bit thing, because gtk2-32bit depends on it and with it a lot of things x86_64 users have installed.

[opensuse-factory] Coordinated upgrade to jack2 for FACTORY / 11.3
by Takashi Iwai 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi, I got a contact from Debian Multimedia team about the possibility of coordinated upgrade of JACK package from version 1 to version 2 on SUSE. That is, major distros, Debian, Ubuntu, and others will upgrade the package for jack simultaneously in order to avoid confusion among distros. From the technical viewpoint, there shouldn't be big obstacles for us -- JACK2 is ABI compatible with JACK1, and it's being used already on Packman repo, IIRC. I think Dave already has managed jack2 stuff in his repo for some time, too. Thus the movement should be relatively simple. But, my question here is whether this is allowed now for FACTORY / 11.3 at this moment. I know this kind of thing should have been handled through FATE. But if we do this, it should be done quickly in a timely manner. So, I'm asking just here for a quick decision. Comments appreciated. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] getting openSSL up-to-date?

I can imagine most people around here are over their head busy with testing the new milestone, but....

But when looking at the openssl site i noticed: 25-feb: OpenSSL 0.9.8m is now available, including important bug and security fixes 24-mar: OpenSSL 0.9.8n is now available, including important bug and security fixes 29-mar: OpenSSL 1.0.0 is now available, a major release I might say that openssl is just as important as packages like apache, which _is_ up-to-date. Specially as it concerns security, and other packages like vpn, stunnel, asterisk are build upon openssl, one might give it a higher priority, not? hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

The build for factory loads orc and liborc, as does the 11.2 build. I'll have a closer look at the orc package maybe 11.2 liboil has something to do with it?

[opensuse-factory] Problem with starting firefox
by Werner LEMBERG 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Since a longer time I have to manually delete ~/.mozilla/firefox/0jb6f6e2.default/compatibility.ini before I can start firefox. IIRC, this has been so since I upgraded to openSuSE factory for 11.3 or to firefox version 3. Any idea how to fix it? I can't believe that this happens to all of you...

[opensuse-factory] Need help fixing gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad, what is cog?
by Dave Plater 09 Apr '10

Hi, multimedia:libs gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad is failing to build libgstcog for everything except 11.2. The ./config output says for factory standard :- configure: *** checking feature: Cog plugin *** configure: *** for plug-ins: cog *** checking for COG... no no configure: *** These plugins will not be built: cog but the 11.2 build finds cog. My question is what provides cog. I've searched 11.2 packages and can only come up with discogs from packman and google brings up a cog package which looks multimedia related. I'm double posting to packaging and factory.

[opensuse-factory] elgg
by Hans Witvliet 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Apologies if i barking under the wrong tree... For i colleage of mine i had to install a vps with elgg. I noticed that there was a recent build on the OBS of elgg, located under: 528 /srv/distro/repo/Education/openSUSE_11.2/src/elgg-0.9.2-4.1.src.rpm 4384 /srv/distro/repo/Education/openSUSE_11.2/noarch/elgg-0.9.2-4.1.noarch.rpm 4528 /srv/distro/repo/Education/openSUSE_Factory/src/elgg-0.9.2-4.30.src.rpm 3760 /srv/distro/repo/Education/openSUSE_Factory/noarch/elgg-0.9.2-4.30.noarch.rpm However, when looking at the elgg site, the 1.00 version is already two years old. Current version is 1.7. http://elgg.org/download.php In case the Edu-maintainer is not around here, can someone pass on the suggestion to do a modest update? Sure, i was told that installation of the package is supposed to be very easy, but for maintenance/upgrade reasons, i rather use suSE-build packages.

[opensuse-factory] What happened to orc's submit request?
by Dave Plater 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hi, schroedinger is in factory and requires liborc but orc isn't in factory, there was a thread discussing this but orc is still sitting in multimedia:libs. Did somebody submit it to factory and it was turned down for some reason?

[opensuse-factory] KDE4 complaint
by Donn Washburn 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Is there a way to turn OFF the irritating automatic full screen function? I have noticed when you move an image it like to go full screen way to easy. Also I have noticed if once it is moved then back the mouse towards the bottom of the image keeps it from jumping into full screen mode. I would like to turn that function OFF. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] OpenSSH hostkey related changes
by Marcus Meissner 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hi, Just a quick heads up from your security team... I did some adjustments to hostkey handling. First, we now display a "visual" fingerprint of the hostkey. This is to have better visual queues on whether hosts known to you changed or not (there will still be an actual compare in the background and a big fat warning). An example looks like: RSA key fingerprint is a3:8e:5f:e9:5a:b9:cf:1a:07:2d:ca:75:52:b1:6d:b0. +--[ RSA 1024]----+ | o | | * | | E o | | o . | | S o | | . + O | | + * . | | o + = | | ..+.+oo | +-----------------+ Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Secondly, we have switched the .ssh/known_hosts file to "hashed hostkeys". This means, the known_hosts file no longer lists the hosts or ip numbers in readable form, but in hashed form. This change is to avoid that worms, if they ever infect your account, to use this file to find out "known hosts" to which to try to login next and so try to stop a worm infection of e.g. your servers.

Hi Donn, why do you keep on replying per private mail instead of the mailing list where everybody can participate?
