[opensuse-factory] Request to add yast2-packager-webpin into the base patterns
by Rastislav Krupanský 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi all. If is enough space on LiveCDs yast2-packager-webpin could be added into the install patterns. I think many new users won´t know this feature exists till won´t be installed by default. What do you think? Should i file request, or it's not even worth thinking about? -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Installing Milestone 7 - some remarks
by James PEARSON 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Hello all I re-installed v11.2 on my T60 using the openSUSE-DVD-Build0268-i586.iso When I install I always set : LANG=US keyboard = FR Remark # 1 When it came time to partition I imported my mounts.T This is an option that I really like because it saves me time and it reduces the chance of making a mistake! After having imported my old mount points - I selected the SWAP partition in Expert Partitioner Windows by hitting Edit In the 'Edit Partition /dev/sdX window' - I selected Format Partition On drop down list 'File system' Swap was indicated I then hit the Finish button In Expert Partiner Windows -I hit Accept Finish button I received a message which I do not like. The Message Window was - you have not assigned a swap partition. There is nothing wrong with that, but... IMO, this message should ***not*** happen Remark # 2 In the Boot Loader Settings window on the tab is 'Boot Loader installation' Under the Boot Loader Loaction Boot from Extended Partition is selected I select Boot from Master Boot Record Boot from Extended Partition remains selected IMO, one should be able to select ***only one choice here *** at a time and this should be automatic. If you select another option, the orginal option should be unselected automatically Install from images starts at 6:42 Remark # 3 After first reboot (and after message 'Preparing the initial configuration') In the 'Hostname and Doman Name' Window When I enter my hostname and doman it is difficult because my keyboard is setup in QUERTY - I require an AZERTY setup (becaue keyboard is / was set to FR) Note - My keyboard was setup correctly to use AZERTY in the when I selected Edit Partition /dev/sdX window setup in the Expert Partiner Window Remark # 4 Note :I didn't select Use Netmanager because it doesn't work on Milestone 7 dvd and I wanted to download the updates Install from images finishes at 6:57 Hope this helps -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [factory] KMail templates - related to RFC: spliting opensuse-factory
by Rajko M. 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

This is example, similar in idea to new bugzilla screens for new bug reports that lead reporter to answer important questions. Template: _________________________________________ openSUSE version: 11.2 M7 updated to factory Where is the problem? System: Application: What is the problem? What is the question? _________________________________________ Example: openSUSE version: 11.2 M7 updated to factory Where is the problem? Application: Kmail 1.12.2 What is the problem? Custom templates to create New Message to Mailing List doesn't work. Question? Is that in 11.2 only, or it doesn't work in KMail at all? ********** Do you think that using such template/templates can help to have more useful emails that don't need second email to ask about missing pieces? -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] confused by lvm / pvcreate in milestone 7
by Greg Freemyer 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

All, I'm running a pure milestone 7 distro. (But I self compiled the kernel from the kernel-source package). I have created partition /dev/sda7 to test lvm. # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x001e001e Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 2598 20868403+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 * 2599 2859 2096482+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 2860 9729 55183275 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 2860 3120 2096451 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 3121 6384 26218048+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 6385 9729 26868681 8e Linux LVM But when I try to add /dev/sda7 to lvm, I get an error: # pvcreate /dev/sda7 Device /dev/sda7 not found (or ignored by filtering). I have not modified /etc/lvm/lvm.conf from default, so the filter should be the default one and I assume that should allow /dev/sda7 to be used. Does anyone know why this is failing?

[opensuse-factory] wxGTK versus wxWidgets
by Juan Erbes 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

Some years ago, appeared in the gtk libraries the legend "gtk is widget". But now, if I try to install the amule package from the packman web site (for opensuse 11.1), it requires the wxwidgets package (it's now in the factory Packman repo), and if I install this package, it overwrites the libries files of wxGTK,m and the aplicatiosn compiled with wxGTK (such as audacity), do'nt work anymore, but now works amule. If I reinstall wxGTK, audacity works again, but do'nt work amule. What can I do?

[opensuse-factory] Where can I find source for Milestone 7 kernel
by Greg Freemyer 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

All, I want to do some kernel hacking and the kernel that comes with milestone 7 seems to be working well. Trouble is I don't know where to find the source rpm to match that kernel. fyi: I've tried 2 newer factory kernels and they both have major issues on the old laptop I'm testing with. I suspect hal, etc. is in transition, so I just want to stick to milestone 7 for now.
