TeX in OpenSUSE / teTeX no next release
by Tobias Burnus 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hello, as Thomas Esser announced (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.tetex.general/1226), there will be no new versions of teTeX. (And depending on the things you are doing with TeX, teTeX 3.0 is already pretty old; especially for ConTeXt users.) > Basically, teTeX consists of a source tree and a texmf tree with fonts, > macros, configuration, etc. > > The source tree of teTeX-3.0 is included 100% in TeX Live > (http://www.tug.org/texlive/) which is released once per year. > This would be good reason to use the source tree of TeX Live in OpenSUSE. > The texmf tree of teTeX is a monolitic distribution of individual CTAN > packages. This seems to be the harder part as to my knowledge the texmf part of TeX Live is rather big. For Debian there exists a project to create TeX Live DEBs (http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html), though they seem to have split TeX Live into too many .debs. Tobias

Skip graphical welcome-message of SL/SLES 10
by Thorolf Godawa 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi, how can I skip the graphical preboot welcome-message (with all the different languages) of SL 10.1/SLES 10rc1? Unfortunately this hangs the HVM-Xen-installation so that I'm not able to install SuSE Linux as HVM-guest on the system! Thanks a lot, -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf

Q: 10.0: DVD writer appears twice in YasT
by Ulrich Windl 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi, a question on 10.0 (maybe someone knows the answer): Yesterday K3B refused to display any CD-writer, although my DVD writer is there as /dev/hdc. So I started "yast cdrom". It displayed /dev/hdc twice, but none of those was activated. I was able to activate one of those, but I was unable to remove the second entry. (After login/logout, K3B found a device) Now, how can I get rid of the extrac /dev/hdc, and why did it appear at all? I remember that I upgraded drive firmware some time ago, but the OS should be smart enough to identify it's one and the same drive at /dev/hdc. Ideas? Regards, Ulrich

Re: [opensuse] Kernel bug in iSCSI ?

Hi Takahiro, You'd better ask this question at opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org I think. Allow me forward your post to opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org.

Adding *.sel to an installation source
by houghi 19 May '06

19 May '06

For a future version I want to add a Personal.sel to the intsallation. For one reason or another it is not picked up by YaST during the installation, so I am unable to select it. What I did was copy /suse/setup/descr/Games-10.1-67.noarch.sel to /suse/setup/descr/Personal-10.1-67.noarch.sel and then changed all "Games" in the file to "Personal". Next I added the line Personal-10.1-63.noarch.sel to suse/setup/descr/selections However when I edit suse/setup/descr/selections I get the `no catalog found at ...` error, so I suppose it needs to be signed somewhere. However the only two *.key files are re-signed, so what am I missing? houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

Online update issue
by Andras Mantia 19 May '06

19 May '06

Hi, I'm officially confused by the new way of updating. First: are there any updates available at this moment? If I start the "Online update" from Yast, it says no patches available. I tried to see how can I configure the online update. To my surprise there are two entries called "Online Update Configuration" and "Online Update Setup". For me it means the same, luckily the second shows in the tooltip that it is the configuration for automatic updates. So try the first one (Online Update Configuration): clicking on Details or Next gives me the following error (after a while): An error occurred while connecting to server. Details shows: No products to register. Now let's see "Online Update Setup": I get a nearly blank window with the hints on the left an the "Automatic Online Update Setup". No config options, just the Back/Abort/Finish buttons. Does online update work for anyone or this is just a plain bug and I should report. I used 10.1-GM, from a DVD created with makeSUSEdvd 0.29 (and yes, I get a signing error). I updated an RC2 system (which previously was updated from 10.0 in more steps).

makeSUSEdvd error
by houghi 18 May '06

18 May '06

A new version and a new problem. I like these 'feature freezes'. :-/ When running makeSUSEdvd at the 'Installation Settings' I get the partitioning, the Software and the Language. Software tells me: No catalog found at 'cd:///?devices%3d%2fdev%2fhdb'. . Error: No proposal I have recieved a mail from somebody who did it manually with create_package_descr and got into the same problem. What has been changed? What can be done to repair the situation? houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

open-iscsi client hangs system
by Anders Norrbring 18 May '06

18 May '06

I just noticed a couple of really nasty things about the open-iscsi initiator.. If both systems is running, everything is fine. BUT... If the target goes down, or there's a cable/connection disruption, the initiator system hangs dead hard. Nothing except a hardware reset will wake it up.. No matter if the connection is restored, the system is still dead in the water. Then, if I set the open-iscsi initiator client to automatically connect to the target at system startup, I have an entry in fstab as well, the boot process is kindof out of sync, the file system check is made before the session to the target is established, and of course it fails. Also, the session didn't auto-connect, I had to login to the target manually, mount the volume, dismount it and then run xfs_check, and lastly mount it again.. To me, the natural way would be to establish the session early, then check the file system and lastly mount it as part of the boot process. Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting
