Hi, again I'm playing with beta software after the experience with SL 10.1 and early SLES 10 was not "so" good - but 10.2 seems to but much better in the actual stage :-) I'd like to use xfce as standard desktop, I think what was included in Beta 2 DVD but in RC1 I have to install it from external sources (http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ or http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-Factory-non-oss /inst-source-extra/). On a second box these sources where not available (I got an error when I tried to add or use them), so the xfce package was not available to install. Today I had more success I could add xfce via yast too! Wouldn't it make sense to include xfce also in the standard distribution for systems that don't have a lot of "Gigas"? On my Netfinity 3000 with iP3/512MB Gnome and KDE are not useable and if I'm localy at the box sometimes it's not too bad to have a modern GUI! How can I configure the automatic startup with startx of xfce, I thought it is enough to set the default window manager to xfwm4 (or xfwm) in the sysconfig? I can start xfce with startxfce4 but with startx x only fvwm2 comes up. Right now I have an AMD Athlon X2 with Pacifica for testing, so I tried a litle bit of Xen again, and for the first time using the xen yast module. Manually I can start my old SLES10b3 paravirt. installation (the config file is not located in /etc/xen/...), and if it's started I can manage it with the yast module. I also started my old W2k3 server installation (created with SuSE Linux 10.1 GM, Kernel 2.6.16.13-4-xen, Xen 3.2-09656-4 on an Intel iPD 920 with VT), it seems to start, there are no relevant errors in the logs but the SDL window never opens and I can't connect to the HVM with VNC. So I created a new HVM with WXP, with the xen yast module it is quite easy to do so :-). I started the installation, the SDL window opens, boots from the CD and the first stage of the WXP installation was sucessfully finish. But if I try to reboot I don't get the SDL window again, so I can't say what is going on right now! The Online update process also seems to work, right now it is doing the 4th kernel update, may be some of the xen problems are solved with this. But the update messed up the grub menu, the original openSuSE 10.2 / openSuSE-Xen entries are not working anymore (Err 16: File not found, xxx-2.6.18.2-23 was not replaced by xxx-2.6.18.2-33) and if I try to start the new "Kernel-2.6.18.2-33-xen" entry I get: Booting 'Kernel-2.6.18.2-33-xen' ... ... Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format After correction of "initrd /initrd-2.6.18.2-33-xen" to "module /initrd-2.6.18.2-33-xen" the Xen kernel also was starting! And it seems that Xen SDL is running now too! BTW: Is there any reason why tripwire is not included in the distribution anymore? Is there a successor for it? -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
