[opensuse-factory] Vnc strange behaviour with 11.0b3 / factory
by Richard (MQ) 27 May '08

27 May '08

Does anyone else see the strange behaviour that I'm getting with VNC on 11.0b3 & with current factory? If I run the server with "vncserver -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 16" it works fine, but "vncserver -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24" causes an un-viewable mess, looks like 4 copies overlaid on each other. # rpm -qi tightvnc reports: Version : 1.3.9 Release : 65 (server, OSL 11.0B3 / Factory) & Version : 1.2.9 Release : 224 (viewer, OSL 10.2) Simple work-around is to use -depth 16 but there must be a bug somewhere? Or is it my dev system? I use VNC all the time and have never seen this before. -- Cheers Richard (MQ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Beta3 and root filesystem
by Arto Viitanen 27 May '08

27 May '08

Funny thing happened when I installed 11.0 Beta 3 onto my PC. When installing new version of Linux, I format my partitions (swap, boot and root). For Beta 3 installation, I told to use my partitions instead of making own. It installed ok, with some problems I thought were because of Beta 3. For example, when pressing $ and ~ keys I did not get characters. Well, on Thursday I thought to take backups. I use xfs on root partition, and use xfsdump for backup. However, it told / is not filesystem. I typed "xf", and there was no / filesystem! Today I reinstalled Beta 3 and found out that the installation has "do not mount filesystem" as default. I made it mount the / and now my keyboard works! So, where was my / directory on the previous try, and why did the installation not warn about missing root ? -- Arto Viitanen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Windows Domain in 11.0 beta3
by Chris Arnold 26 May '08

26 May '08

OK, i have successfully installed 11.0 beta 3. I was able to join our 2004 domain but after a system restart, i am not able to login as a domain user. No domain field exists at the login screen. Like i said, the joining part worked fine but not able to login as a domain user. Is there any way to fix this? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 11.0 Beta3 gets different IP address from DHCP server
by Mark Gray 26 May '08

26 May '08

It appears that the DHCP client for 11.0 Beta3 consistently gets a different IP address than 10.2 does from the DHCP server in my DSL router. If this is not a bug, it might be well to mention this in the release notes, because I am probably not the only one who uses /etc/hosts to configure their local network. I hesitate to report this as a bug because there are easy enough ways around this -- just changing my /etc/hosts files being the easiest. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] "overlapping" packages in repositories
by Bart Whiteley 26 May '08

26 May '08

I just tried a 'zypper ref; zypper dup' for the first time on 11.0 beta3. It mostly worked, but I encountered several errors of the form "File '<package>' not found on medium ...". When the transaction was complete, I ran 'zypper ref; zypper dup' again, and the packages that failed the first time were successfully upgraded. I suspect that these packages were updated in the repository during the first transaction, so when zypper tried to find them, the old versions were no longer present. Are there any plans to solve this problem? Some other distributions solve this problem by keeping the old packages in the repository for a day or two when new packages are inserted in the repository. This way local metadata that was refreshed recently (within reason) will always have corresponding packages to work against, even if some packages (and the metadata) have been updated in the repository since the metadata was refreshed locally. In my opinion, a zypper transaction should never fail due to newer packages in the repository, if the metadata was recently refreshed locally. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
