Hi, I tried to create live cds and these are the result: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/FactoryLiveCDs Please note that this _not_ beta2, there will hopefully some fixes, but I want you to cover already quite some testing. Please mention in your bug reports it's these 20080430 mediums you're testing, but file it under beta2.

[opensuse-factory] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 18
by Stephan Kulow 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

Hi, Working on beta2, but as most livecd beta1 bugs are still unfixed, I'm not going to release it before live installation works. So I'm not sure by how much, but beta2 won't be ready tomorrow - i.e. only published by chance on friday. We have only very few features pending, but quite some bugs - most with the live cd though.

[opensuse-factory] New package: pidgin-lastfm
by Dominik George 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

Hello guys, I just got an RPM and SRPM of my Pidgin Last.fm plugin built. I have one that I built on my own: ( http://pidgin-lastfm.naturalnet.de/download/rpm/pidgin-lastfm.spec and http://pidgin-lastfm.naturalnet.de/download/rpm/pidgin-lastfm-0.3a-1.src.rpm) and one that I created using the Build Service ( https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=pidgin-lastfm&project=home%…) which is also included in GNOME:Community . It would be great if this package were included in openSuSE 11.0 or something later. There should not be anything release critical about it, as the worst thing the plugin can do (after testing and fixing bugs reported by some of the users) is refuse to work, leaving Pidgin and and everything else untouched. What do I have to do to have it included?

[opensuse-factory] xfce desktop installation broken?
by Marc Ensenbach 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

Hi, I just wanted to give the current Factory a try and install an xfce desktop environment by selecting Other > xfce in the desktop selection dialog during installation. The installation works fine, but when the display manager comes up and I log in, not xfce but IceWM is presented to me (although according to zypper the xfce packages seem to be installed). Is this a bug? If yes, is it already known (my short look on bugzilla revealed nothing that seems to be related)? Cheers, Marc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] software updates
by Robert Lewis 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

Does anyone know if 11.0 allows the user to see all updates available, and/or the ability to select to install all updates? With 10.3 I never was able to do this so the only time I updated software was by searching for a specific package to see if an update was available via the blue background on the line.

[opensuse-factory] Type 1 fonts, KDE
by Volker Kuhlmann 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

It's been annoying me for years that printing web pages from konqueror produces some braindead rubbish where fonts are outline-traced with polygons somehow when creating PostScript output (there is no pdf output from KDE), which is then converted into a type 3 (bitmap) font by ghostscript. No good (lousy quality, big files, can't copy text out, seriously below standard). Now I find that this only happens with truetype fonts, but not with type 1 (postscript) fonts (though some parts of the page are always printed with truetype). Of course, the default font config of openSUSE switches completely to truetype and forgets all about postscript as soon as one installs e.g. the agfa fonts. I always thought these fonts to be an optional nice-to-have but didn't realise just how much they're screwing up. Today's testing with KDE 3. I don't think much of the default font resolution. Am I alone here? Is this something that should be an option/choice? How does one actually change it (I never quite got the hang of all the X11 font stuff)?

[opensuse-factory] Akonadi downgrade?
by Jörg von Frantzius 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

Hi, I was just about to update latest packages for my opensuse 11 beta 1 installation from factory , when yast asked me whether I wanted to downgrade akonadi in order to be able to install kdepim4: #### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2008-04-28 10:55:43 #### kdepim4-4.0.71-2.i586 requires libakonadiprotocolinternals.so.0, but this requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers: akonadi-0.80.0-2.i586[opensuse_factory] [ ] Following actions will be done: kdepim4-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren libakonadi4-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren libkdepim4-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren kde4-akregator-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren kde4-kaddressbook-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren kde4-kmail-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren kde4-knode-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren kde4-knotes-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren kde4-kontact-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren kde4-korganizer-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren libkdepimlibs4-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren kdepimlibs4-4.0.71-2.i586 nicht installieren kdebase4-runtime-4.0.3-12.i586 nicht installieren [ ] downgrade of akonadi-4.0.69-12.i586 to akonadi-0.80.0-2.i586 That all looks a little odd to me. Sounds like I better wait a bit more before updating, until things have been sorted out in factory?
