Please, change the way the list of repos are organized. When user adds repo A, and yast gets the info from this repo, also mirror list should be downloaded. So when something happens to repo A, yast will be able to switch to its mirror on fly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 332186] New: network optimized upgrade of the system

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332186 Summary: network optimized upgrade of the system Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins(a)wp.pl QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- >From today experience of upgrading 10.2 to 10.3 from KDE CD I can only say it is too fragile to try it again. Too much time is wasted for displaying (when user is not looking at computer) network errors. Not mentioning it could be total network failure and then what user is supposed to do. Conclusions: user cannot work, a lot of time wasted, bad experience. It seems that only downloading full DVD would solve such problems. But not entirely. But what about such approach. One small CD installer as a kickstart disc -- user downloads it, and burns it. One install manager _program_ -- user downloads it and runs it. This IM would run in current system, user would select what kind of upgrade she/he wants, what packages to add extra, etc etc. Note that at this point system is fully running (something you cannot get with current installer) -- video card, network cards, etc. User clicks ok and downloading begins -- upgrade packages, updates, release notes, firmware, drivers, etc. NOW -- this is crucial. It is just another program in the system downloading stuff. User can still view www pages, write document in OOffice, simply put -- she/he can work! After downloading is finished, user burn DVD/CD(s) of downloaded software. And finally then she/he reboots, inserts kickstart disc, normal installer runs, but all packages are now copied from the burned disc! So there is no weak point in whole upgrade. What do you think? A bit elaborate process, but risk-free, and for upgrade (note, this not for INSTALL!) it could work like a charm. Very fast and safely. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225463 Summary: at: strange scheduling Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 5 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jengelh(a)gmx.de QAContact: qa(a)suse.de atd always renices tasks based on their queue queue -> nice 'a' -> 1 'b' -> 3 'c' -> 5 This is inherently bad -- a task can never be scheduled at the normal nice level 0 or any even (2, 4, ...) level. This patch fixes this, and implicitly changes the meaning of the queue names ('a' is not 1 anymore, but 0), but a < b still holds true. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 346194] New: prevent hard and dvd drive from unnecessary spinups

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=346194 Summary: prevent hard and dvd drive from unnecessary spinups Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Community of Practice On a system with two hard disks the second disk /dev/sdb spins up from time to time although no file or swap partition is mounted fromout of that drive. This is ala long not good for the physics of that drive and can be very annoying because /dev/sdb is quite noisy; hdparm -Y /dev/sdb helps up to the next spinup (openSuse 10.3; smartctl already mentions a worsened spinup time; maybe because of continuing multiple unnecessary spinups). Similarely on a notebook under Suse10.1 a cdrom is spinned up multiple times during the boot process, if any is inserted, although there is no reason to access the cd during boot time (noisy, slows the boot process down). There should not be any program accessing a drive without mounted partitions. Is there any? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
