[opensuse-factory] Ext4 GRUB suppppport
by Vahis 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

I was reading here: http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4 "One very important thing to keep in mind is that *there is NOT Ext4 GRUB support" *And "The safe option is to keep your /boot directory in a partition formatted with Ext3." Is this the case with Milestone3? I wasn't able to manage dual boot options in GRUB. The first time it said there was an error in creating bootloader and finally it did but I lost the other OS section. I'm making a second attempt with an ext3 /boot Vahis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Updated to KDE43. Beta2 (4.2.90) - Basket Note Pad disappeared - Where did it go?
by David C. Rankin 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Listmates, I updated to Beta 2 and after the update "basket notepads" for Beta 2 is nowhere to be found. I haven't added or removed any repositories and.. it was certainly there for Beta 1. (I wrote bugs against it at kde.org) So what happened to it in Beta2? I have searched the repositories and it is just ... gone. Any ideas? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse-factory] plasma-desktop eating cup
by Patrick Shanahan 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

plasma-desktop appears to be really eating my cpu cycles to the point of making my system *very* unresponsive. Is there a way to disable the plasma-desktop and just have a plain window, or another option? -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Potential heads-up on new dmraid-1.0.0rc15 in dual boot linux/linux setup with older dmraid combination
by David C. Rankin 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Listmates, I have been working with dmraid-1.0.0rc15 which brings in some really needed enhancements (most notable the -R --rebuild option for bios raid setups where the bios doesn't provide the ability). It also brings in a new naming convention for your device mapper labels as well. Example: OLD: nvidia_fdaacfde_part5 nvidia_fdaacfde_part6 nvidia_fdaacfde_part7 nvidia_fdaacfde_part8 WILL BECOME: nvidia_fdaacfdep5 nvidia_fdaacfdep6 nvidia_fdaacfdep7 nvidia_fdaacfdep8 So you will need to update /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab before rebooting after you install the new version. I don't know where factory sits concerning taking up the new version, but the biggest 'gotcha' I have run into is in the situation where you have a linux/linux dual boot box with 2 dmraid sets (One OS on each raid set) where the OS is running different version of dmraid. Why it matters, I don't know, but I think there may be changes to the device meta data that causes the older dmraid to choke on the new device metadata and the small consequence of loss of all partitions on the second OS with the newer dmraid version once you boot the OS with the old version. Outside that linux/linux old dmraid/new dmraid situation dmraid-1.0.0rc15 works flawlessly and with the new --rebuild capability is a damn good alternative to mdraid. (Performance of both dmraid and mdraid is very good) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse-factory] Can't configure keyboard in latest Milestone
by Vahis 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Installation from Milestone3 net install, GRUB says it's Milestone2, so I'm not sure. Zypper dup says nothing to do anyway. Keyboard is correctly chosen and tested during installation, but afterwards it's wrong. In graphical YaST Hardware keyboard layout window can be chosen, the progress bar runs quickly by but then nothing happens. In ncurses YaST it opens the keyboard setting window but doesn't change any layouts. I've tried Swedish and Finnish, nether work. I can't get to bugzilla for some reason, so I can't check if this has been reported.

[opensuse-factory] Update issues
by Stefan Kunze 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Hi, I am running factory on 2 different Maschines (both x86_64) . And I have seen a few update issue lately on both maschines. Both are happening in Yast Softwaremanagment but also in zypper dup. 1. The Update Process always autoselects 1 random KDE language package (bundle-lang-kde-?) . It is not apparent where this requirement comes from and i could not find out until now. The package can be removed later w/o any dependency issues. In my last 3 trys it installed bundle-lang-kde-fr , hu and it . My System has not installed one of the languages or layout it is pure englisch system right now. The choice of the language file seems to be random. Even if nothing else is selected it autoselects a languagepack. 2. The Update process always get stuck at one of 2 files - mysql and aaabase . The difference is that aaabase is updated but it is not switching to then next package , mysql get stuck in between (I needed to lock it manually to finish updating) . I always have to reboot before another updateprocess can be started - if not it will start but not do anything. What can be the reason here? does anyone else sees the same?
