Re: [opensuse-factory] Plan for 11.2?
by Giovanni Masucci 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

I'd like seeing 2 things mostly to do: - when you click on a downloaded rpm from dolphin you get dependency errors even if the dependencies are in your enabled repository..so you have to install deps via zypper/yast and then click on the rpm file. This should is not very easy for the end user...especially if he comes from ubuntu where gdebi automatically handles this kind of situation. -kernel 2.6.28 is almost released but 11.2 will probably ship with >=2.6.29. Kernel 2.6.29 will bring kernel mode setting (flicker free boot with support for wide screen resolutions, better suspend). Fedora has a new implementation of graphical boot, that uses kernel mode settings; it's called plymouth and it's already working in fedora 10. Ubuntu is considering to switch to it for the next version. I think that opensuse should think about it too. Here's a link with some more infos and a video of plymouth+kernel mode setting: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Njg3Nw and here's a page with a summary of fedora's work: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterStartup -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Last Post on 11.1 - 99.999999% Perfect Install - Thanks!
by David C. Rankin 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

Devs, Last post on 11.1. Just a bit of feedback and warm hearted thanks. I competed 11.1 install at 3:00 am yesterday on what was a Perfect Install on the same hardware we did Beta5 on. Other than needing to reopen: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445602 and chasing down a bug with the nut ups file/run permissions that are preventing it from running (all normal nits), 11.1 installed Perfectly!

[opensuse-factory] Bug in partitioner for 11.1 installation
by Henning Schnoor 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to report problems with the 11.1 installation, but here I go: I'm just installing openSuSE 11.1, and the partition table displayed during installation is wrong. In the graphical installer, I am shown a couple of partitions that do not exist, and existing partitions are shown with wrong sizes. A "parted" called on the command line at the same time shows the correct set-up. Since there is data on some of the partitions, I did not proceed with the installation. Has anyone seens this problem, and is there a way to fix it?

[opensuse-factory] ATA messages filling logs with current Factory kernel
by Robert Kaiser 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

Hi, FYI, the current 2.6.27.8-1.1 from Factory causes excessive filling of /var/log/messages with ATA messages, at least on my system with a quite popular ASUS P5B mainboard. Using the slightly older (!) kernel version from Kernel:HEAD fixes that problem.

[opensuse-factory] Option on 11.2 to forbid architectures.
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

I could not seem to find openFATE to try and add this. But I would really like an option to forbid an architecture. I find that zypper still tries to put i586.rpm on my 64 bit systems. I do not mind the -32 packages, but I really want to forbid the use of any i586.rpm. I would like to get a FATE request and see responses. I know a lot of people I talk with want the same option. -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb(a)zenez.com> 801 849-0213 ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] How to check how a font is rendered?
by Cristian Morales Vega 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

I'm having a problem with the font rendering with my new installation of 11.1. It looks like antialiasing isn't disabled when BYTECODE_BW_MAX_PIXEL says it should. But I would like to be sure... there is any command that, having for input font and size, returns if it's using antialiasing, hinting (from the font or autohinting), etc.?

[opensuse-factory] OpenSuSE 11.1 - Ndiswrapper Troubles
by Sudhir 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

SuSE 11.1 was installed on an Amilo laptop manufactured by Fujistu. The ndiswrapper does not work with 11.1 but works fine with 11.0. The ndis drivers won't compile from source. There are errors from a C function call. Does anyone have a solution to this?

[opensuse-factory] scheduling while atomic
by Dominique Leuenberger 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Hi, I see this happening quiet often in my log file and I assume it's one of the drivers which is not playing nicely. Of course I will probably just hear as a reply that my lernel is tained (doh! I know) and not supported in this case... but maybe, really only maybe, somebody has seen similiar things on non-tainted kernels? If not I'll try to get this thing in my log file without the nvidia blob (I remember having seen it also without.. but I won't put my hands on fire for this).
