[opensuse-factory] fdisk problem
by Sid Boyce 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Insists cylinder 2048 is the start of the disk. Same problem on x86_64. two weeks ago I returned a SDHC as bad because of the problem on 3 x86_64 boxes. Yesterday while partitioning a 160G IDE HD on the x86 I saw it again. I used cfdisk which worked.# rpm -qf /sbin/fdisk util-linux-2.18.91-10.1.i586 Size of HD is much less than it should be, e.g I couldn't set partition 1 to a size of 150G. cfdisk works. Bug #667514 submitted. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] Bad Day
by Donn Washburn 26 Jan '11

Hey openSuSE group; Guess what "zypper dup" did to this system. All of the shown libs were links that did not get removed after a "zypper dup" However, all of these dead end lib.so linked were missing the old and any new links. And they remained after running ldconfig. And after that zypper dup - Blender no longer works. I will also say the gpm mouse problem still exists. libGraphicsMagickWand.so libaqofxconnect.so libckyapplet.so libjapol.so libjd.so libjpoldiff.so libjqpol.so libjseaudit.so libjsefs.solibkexicore.so libkexidatatable.so libkexidb.so libkexiextendedwidgets.so libkexiguiutils.so libkeximigrate.so libkexirelationsview.so libkexiutils.so libkformdesigner.so libkwnn.so libmonosgen-2.0.so libprotobuf-lite.so libsmbios.so libstlport_gcc_stldebug.so libsvn_auth_gnome_keyring-1.so libsvn_auth_kwallet-1.so libsvn_swig_perl-1.so libsvn_swig_py-1.so libsvn_swig_ruby-1.so libwnn.so libwx_gtk2_gl-2.8.so libwx_gtk2_media-2.8.so libwx_gtk2_mmedia-2.8.so libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so lib # rm libwx_gtk2u_mmedia-2.8.so libkexiformutils.so libkeximain.so If you have done a zypper dup or up check your /usr/lib and /lib for RED links and or wrong modes -- 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] openSUSE 11.3/11.4 Xen-Kernel no boot possible
by Thorolf Godawa 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hi, again I have massive problems with the openSUSE-installation on my Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p 6234-1AG (C2D E8400, Q45 Express, GMA 4500, 82567LM-3, kernel driver in use: i915). After the update of the openSUSE 11.3-installation today, the system is not booting with the Xen-kernel anymore. Unfortunately the vga-mode-settings in the menu.lst where changed wrong by the update, I corrected the settings, but I was not able to get the server up and running with the Xen-kernel. Finaly I made a distribution update to 11.4 Milestone 5. The result was not too bad, the system booted the standard kernel (2.6.37-desktop) without problems and seems to run fine. The grub-entry for the xen-kernel in the menu.lst was wrong and I corrected it again: title Xen -- openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 5 of 6 - 2.6.37 root (hd0,0) #kernel /xen.gz vga=mode-0x317 vga=mode-0x317 kernel /xen.gz vga=mode-0x317 module /vmlinuz-2.6.37-xen root=/dev/sda6 resume=/dev/sda2 splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x317 module /initrd-2.6.37-xen But if I select the Xen-kernel, the system is still not booting, there is only a short flickering on the screen, then the system reboots. I already tried to change the "vga"-options to "0xF00", "normal", remove it, set "splash=0" and "nomodeset", but without a change. Any other idea? Thanks a lot. -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Palm Pilot device
by Donn Washburn 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

I have a Palm Pilot Tungsten C which is a USB device. I have "visor" according to "lsmod". I have looed at lsusb and it is not seen. I suspect a /dev naming problem. I have written a /etc/udev/rules.d file and plugged it in. Problem is lsub and hwinfo --usb do not see it. Has anyone on the list got a similar one to work? -- 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] Duplicates of mbuffer
by Pascal Bleser 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

mbuffer is both in Base:System and network:utilities (I maintain the latter), with openSUSE:Factory linking the one from Base:System. Could we merge those ? (replace everything with _link except one ;)). There are no maintainers defined for Base:System/mbuffer (and Base:System is half of this mailing-list ;)), which is why I'm sending the mail here and not to the maintainer(s). On a side note, there is a much more recent version in network:utilities as compared to Base:System and Factory (13 upstream releases in-between, with bugfixes and more features). If no one minds, I would suggest linking Base:System/mbuffer to network:utilities/mbuffer cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser <pascal.bleser(a)opensuse.org> /\\ http://opensuse.org -- I took the green pill _\_v FOSDEM XI: 5 + 6 Feb 2011, http://fosdem.org

[opensuse-factory] Status: Distribution
by Stephan Kulow 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi, I don't want to release Milestone6 as it is right now (build1023). There are various issues blocking: - /etc/mtab still is not right (broken by yast during installation bnc#665437) - Artwork is a bad mixture and this is the last milestone (bnc#665439) - kernel on i586 still acting up (bnc#660464) minor issues (for M6): - the progress bar of the live cd is not moving between 16-92% (bnc#665413) - the live cd does not boot into the kernel (kexec broken?) - the kde live cd crawls heavily I hope that we fix the mtab one quickly and perhaps there is artwork left to submit, but the kernel one is pretty ugly and there isn't any easy fix at the moment. Hopes are high though that we can release it next week.

[opensuse-factory] Severe Problems with X - ATI Mobility Radeon HD3400
by Sankar P 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Running factory I have run into a lot of problems with factory on T400. The machine just shows a blank screen after passing the initial stage. gdm never gets loaded. If I boot via failsafe mode, the boot stops at the console level, then I manually have to start the network and xdm service. In failsafe mode, once the gnome-screensaver kicks in (idle, machine locked etc.), the contents of the screen are shown overlapping with the screensaver. Everything works fine with a 11.3 livecd in this machine (including desktop effects). I did a `zypper dup` and none of the existing users play video files with sound (VLC, Totem). If I create a new user, VLC plays with sound. gnome-panel consistently crashes for all the old users. It works fine for new users though. If I can get the debuginfo rpm for gnome-panel, I can give the stacktrace of the crash. What debug information do you require for this ? I have only factory in the repositories list and nothing else. -- Sankar P http://psankar.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] fontconfig: man pages severely out of date
by Werner LEMBERG 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

[fontconfig-devel 2.8.0-16.2] Please trigger an update of the fontconfig man pages! What's in fontconfig-devel doesn't reflect the actual version. For example, the man page of `fc-match' dates 16-Oct-2006 in openSuSE; in particular, it misses the option `-a' introduced in a more recent version of fontconfig.
