[opensuse-factory] removing usb device..
by Daniele 10 May '08

10 May '08

HI guys, I'm wrong or the only way to safely removing usb device is within dolphin ? If yes, it's very bad under the usability point of view. In kde-4.1 device-notifier seems better, any chance to get unmouting/ejecting features backported ?

[opensuse-factory] new kernel not booting
by Putrycz, Erik 10 May '08

10 May '08

I updated to Factory and now I cannot boot anymore. It seems the new kernel 2.6.25-26 (x86-64) doesn't work with my intel raid controller (I have a Dell Precision 390). The errors are device-mapper: table: device 253:1 too small for target device-mapper: table: 253:5: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: iotcl: error adding target to table Any suggestions? I don't even have an idea how to "downgrade" the kernel... Erik. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] k3b-codecs
by Felix Miata 09 May '08

09 May '08

I visited http://opensuse-community.org/Multimedia and managed to get all repositories, and all recommended packages installed, except the subject. Is that YaST software management can't find any such package a bug? Where is this package supposed to be found? I have 8 systems with Factory installed. Since yesterday I've been testing several (all of which have various sound chips on the motherboard rather than add-in sound cards) to see if they make sound from various flash, mpeg & mp3 files, plus normal system sounds. None tried so far have made any sound whatsoever, including the sound tester in YaST. You'd think the installer could do a bit better. :-( Anyone know a good HOWTO page that enumerates how to determine what's missing or broken when sound does not work? -- ". . . . in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you . . . ."

[opensuse-factory] KDE Edu 4
by Kai Ponte 08 May '08

08 May '08

I was trying to install the latest version of Potato Guy and a few other KDE4 apps I saw in Linux Magazine. I have 11.0b2 with KDE 4 running in a VB session. I can find kdeedu4 gneral data and libkdeedu4 but not the apps. I only see kdeedu3 so far. Are they not added? -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 build your own live cd
by Stephan Kulow 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hi, JP just complained that it takes so long to download the live CD, so I guess it's not really well known that you can build your own live CD to test: Install kiwi-config-openSUSE-gnome or kiwi-config-openSUSE-kde and call kiwi on /usr/share/openSUSE/kiwi-config-*/config.xml kiwi --root /tmp/myroot --prepare $CONFIG_FROM_ABOVE kiwi --create /tmp/myroot -d /tmp/isooutputdir You need some packages installed and you need to have a repo of the packages needed around (which you can sync with drpmsync). This repo you need to give with --add-repo to both calls. Happy playing around - and if someone creates a wiki page from his experiments, I would be glad.

[opensuse-factory] autoyast

08 May '08

Not a bug but really not nice. Generating a reference-profile stops. The problem was that a dialog-box "ntp has changed" was shown but unfortunately in the background.

[opensuse-factory] Firefox is hanging after cert-problems
by Ralf Prengel 08 May '08

08 May '08

Sichere Verbindung fehlgeschlagen After opening an webpage that is using an self-generated cert firefox shows an alert because of the invalide cert. That is ok. The problem is that there no way to continue. Firefox shows the following page and that is all. the whole messages webmail.name.de verwendet ein ungültiges Sicherheitszertifikat. Das Zertifikat gilt nur für server.name.de. (Fehlercode: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) * Das könnte ein Problem mit der Konfiguartion des Servers sein, oder jemand will sich als dieser Server ausgeben. * Wenn Sie mit diesem Server in der Vergangenheit erfolgreich Verbindungen herstellen konnten, ist der Fehler eventuell nur vorübergehend, und Sie können es später nochmals versuchen.

[opensuse-factory] Cleaning /tmp on boot
by Vincent Untz 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hi, Being hit by a bug caused by wrong permissions in a directory in /tmp, I wondered why /tmp is not cleaned on boot (which is obviously not the right fix for the bug I'm seeing, I agree). I see that it's possible to configure this in /etc/sysconfig/cron: CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP="no" Does anyone know the rationale for this being disabled by default? Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] upgrade idea for the future
by Carlos E. R. 07 May '08

07 May '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, An idea for the future, how to install a full system upgrade: Based on existing system in root partition A, do a full upgrade installing in root partition B instead, while system in partition A is still running. It is almost a new install, except that the configuration is taken from the running system, and should have the classic *rpmnew etc files to review. Does it makes sense? Sounds feasible? Some people in fact install new versions on a different partition keeping the previous one intact. In case of problems they can revert to the old system instantly, and both are available for study. The method I propose could make upgrade less scary :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIIZZVtTMYHG2NR9URAqAuAJ9/FekaW4CHHkRtu1EWBcQDuzl6dQCfZ4za NVwC8AaczcCm/m082oa8V+Q= =nm9a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
