SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha4 Uploading
by Andreas Jaeger 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha4 is ready, since our mirrors are still syncing (we had some blocker bugs to fix and were rather late), I've only uploaded the torrent files to ftp.opensuse.org. Everything else will go online at 11am UTC on friday. New significant changes in 10.1 Alpha4 since 10.1 Alpha3: * Further integration of NetworkManager (note: NetworkManager is on by default on NLD/SUSE Linux and off on SLES) * Updates to all parts of the system, especially new bash version (3.1), new Linux kernel (2.6.15 rc5), KDE 3.5 final, GNOME 2.12.2, X.Org 6.9 rc3. Further details are - and ongoing changes will be - documented at http://www.opensuse.org/Factory-News . Known CRITICAL issues: * The first time a user logs in on the console, an error is reported. A second login works. * The graphical login does not work. Workaround: Login on the console and change /etc/X11/xdm/Xession as follows: --- /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession 2005-11-21 22:22:10.000000000 +0100 +++ /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession 2005-12-15 12:09:03.000000000 +0100 @@ -102,7 +102,7 @@ */rzsh) shell=/bin/zsh ;; *) shell=/bin/bash ;; esac - exec -la ${shell} ${shell} -c ${1+"exec $@"} + exec -l -a ${shell##*/} ${shell} -c ${1+"exec $@"} } * The distribution identifies itself as "10.0.42 Alpha4" - and has in quite a lot places the 10.0 branding. This is a known feature;-) * Internet test will not work since downloading to patches is not setup. Note: Alpha4 will be followed by Beta in four weeks, Alpha4 is not supported and we advice to not use it on production systems. Please report bugs in http://bugzilla.novell.com . A list of known issues will appear on: http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Bugs:most_annoying_bugs We've created on ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/10.1/inst-source-extra (and on the mirrors of it) a repository with some non-OSS software.

Reminder: openSUSE Build Service Team Q&A session
by Henne Vogelsang 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

Hi, recently we published meeting minutes from a two day offsite meeting of the initial openSUSE build service team. It summarizes expectations, concerns, ideas and opportunities around the build service part of the openSUSE project. http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/BST_3linden_Minutes_en Today the minutes were joined by a technical whitepaper about the concept of the openSUSE Build Service. http://www.opensuse.org/images/1/19/Oss_whitepaper.pdf We invite you to join us on the official IRC channel #opensuse at the freenode.net IRC network irc://irc.freenode.net/openSUSE for a question and answer session about these two documents and the ideas behind it. The session will take place, as announced on the opensuse mailinglist, at Monday 2005/12/12 17:00 CET! Which is roughly in one hour. We hope to see you there! The openSUSE Build Server Team
