[opensuse-factory] Thinkpad X60 and iwl3945-ucode
by Karl Eichwalder 26 May '10

26 May '10

I learned the hard way that we no longer support the wireless hardware coming with Thinkpad X60. Yast happily still reports that iwl3945-ucode is required if you want to configure the chip. Unfortunately, it does not tell the user where he can find the driver software :-( I guess we must promote Build Service > Projects > driver:wireless > iwl3945-ucode more prominently (assuming that that's the location from where the user is considered to download those drivers). Is this the right way? -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] WebM Support?
by James Mason 26 May '10

26 May '10

I know its late in the game, but it would be *awesome* to ship 11.3 with some built-in support for WebM Media (Google's open-sourced VP8 video + Vorbis audio in a Matroska container) There are nightly builds for Chrome & Firefox w/ support, a patch for FFMPEG, and Gstreamer plugins are in development. https://features.opensuse.org/309589 - James Mason 'bear454' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] KDE bug fighters
by Greg Freemyer 25 May '10

25 May '10

All, OS 11.2 KDE from the stable repo (KDE 4.2.2) I was semi-screwing around and opened my trash in Dolphin. I saw a few old directories I had "moved to trash" some time ago. They were relatively simple trees, but likely had a thousand or so files in the subdirs. For whatever reason, I right click deleted them from trash. My poor machine almost came to a stand still after a few minutes. I had to cntr-alt-F2 to get a new text console up and login. Even that took a minute or so for it to ask me for my password. I ran top and it showed kio_trash using 700MB of RAM. Seems a bit excessive for what it does. And obviously I swapping furiously. "ps -ef| grep kio_trash" showed dozens of programs running, but only 3 of them were actually kio_trash. For the others kio_trash was in the command args somewhere. So I did "ps -ef | grep kio_trash | less" and identified the instance of kio_trash that had started when I was messing with my trash. I did a simple kill of it. After a minute or two, my system was usable again. I'm not real anxious to try this again to see if its repeatable.

[opensuse-factory] Milestone7 delayed
by Stephan Kulow 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi, The ISOs are already on the mirrors, but a last minute change supposed to be harmless caused both live cds and DVDs to create an unbootable system: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=607480 As such we need to recreate the ISOs and reupload them to the mirrors once they are done. This means I can't publish it today ;( I already synced the factory snapshot, so if you're updating with zypper dup you will get Milestone7 and network install is not affected. For DVD there is an easy work around, but live cds I need to regnerate in any case.

[opensuse-factory] Konqueror and FF Font in openSUSE Home Page (113M7)
by Andi Sugandi 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi Listmates, Even though I activated font's anti-aliasing on KDE System Settings, > grep Xft .kde4/share/config/kdeglobals XftAntialias=true XftHintStyle=hintslight XftSubPixel=rgb http://picasaweb.google.com/andisugandi/OpenSUSE#5474790406233158322 they looked "wrong" on Konqueror and Firefox, but Opera: http://picasaweb.google.com/andisugandi/OpenSUSE#5474790406547067682 Is it because openSUSE 11.3 M#7 has no already Microsoft True-Type Font installed? or known bug? Thanks in advance.

[opensuse-factory] Cutting GDM dependencies
by Guido Berhoerster 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hello, we've recently encountered some problems with the LXDM login manager and it has turned out that the codebase is not really mature yet and suffers from some IMO rather fundamental quality problems which need to be addressed upstream (see. eg bnc#584573). It would therefore be desirable to have GDM as a fallback for users who encounter problems with LXDM or even to possibly switch to it as the default login manager for the 11.3 release. The problem is that GDM currently depends on most of the Gnome desktop through its dependency on gnome-panel and gnome-session. The indirect dependencies could be drastically reduced by putting the libgnome-panel-2 library and the core runtime files of gnome session in separate subpackages of gnome-panel and gnome-session and by making gdm depend on these subpackages only. It is pretty late, but would it be possible to reorganize the three packages like this? Experimental versions of the three packages can be found in home:gberh:gdm. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Have the following repos (and only the following repos) enabled: http://download.opensuse.org/factory-snapshot/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/factory-snapshot/repo/non-oss/ * Then I simply ran "zypper ref"; "zypper dup". BTW in my case the distribution upgrade has not proceed completely clean, since I've got a problem onto my rpm db, which I solved with "rpm --rebuilddb" command. I also have a virtual Ubuntu machine beside SUSE 11.3 and I did a upgrade also on that to latest version 10-Lucid, which terminates perfectly, without any accidents. I think that Ubuntu uses a more reliable updating mechanism; but this is another story and an absolutely personal comment.
