[opensuse-factory] Congratulations to openSUSE 11.3-Milestone1
by Marco Calistri 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

After some criticism sent over about minor or medium complains, about 11.2 and 11.3 Milestone 0, I would now like to send a good and strong "many congratulations on a job well done!" regarding the installation DVD of openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 1. I downloaded the metalink Gnome desktop version and installed as guest machine, under VirtualBox 3.1.2 openSUSE 11.2 (64bits) host. Installation goes flawlessly, straightforward and quick, defaulting onto ext4 filesystem (which to me represents a completely new environment, since I always used ext3). I have not yet played with this very newcomer openSUSE, but, at first glance, I have been very good impressed. That is noticeable, considering it is "just a Milestone1".

[opensuse-factory] printers
by Donn Washburn 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hey Group; How many people are having problems with non HP USB printer that frequent this list. I have a NON HP printer that is made by Brother (works perfectly according to Linuxprinting.org) that totally fails. Yet /var/log/cups/files shows very little useful and USB shows it is available (hwinfo --printer). My brother is also having problems with a printer that used to work. Mine works in fedora 12 and his works in that Redman stuff. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Introduce new Chinese font in openSUSE 11.3
by Ming Xi Wu 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Hi all, It's important for us to provide a suitable font for Chinese user after FZSongti had been removed from openSUSE 11.1 because of license issue. So, I'll propose WenQuanYi as the default Chinese font in openSUSE 11.3. It's a free font released under GPLv2 (http://wenq.org/enindex.cgi?ZenHei%28en%29#Copyright_disclaimer_and_license for details) and have a well appearance. Ohter distributions like Ubuntu have already used this font. Now, we have almost done the packaging at M17N repo and bnc#472268 for tracking the process, I hope this can be introduced in 11.3.

[opensuse-factory] printer again

Yast2 Connection Wizard Connection Settings Model Connection Description Unknown usb:/dev/usb/lp0 No longer valid (printer not connected) Hey Group; Above is the output from Yast2 Printer Connection Wizard lsusb names it, hwinfo displays all about it. The kernel module mentioned is shown by "ps ax". Yet it fails to work. It does work in Fedora - using the same connection on this machine. Why does openSuSE only fail to print? Is this a udev problem because /dev/usb/lp0 does exist. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Milestone 1 neither normal nor Failsafe starts
by Marco Calistri 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hello, Just a side comment about the fact that yesterday I "duped" my Factory to latest Milestone and when rebooting nothing happens, both normal boot or failsafe (dark screen). Evolution still maintains the authorization problem of the password wallet, then crashes.
