[Bug 222222] New: Yast sw_single (and inst_source) fails if remote repository is added, but the network connection is down (Refresh Off ignored?)

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=222222 Summary: Yast sw_single (and inst_source) fails if remote repository is added, but the network connection is down (Refresh Off ignored?) Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: amantia(a)kde.org QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com I added a remote repository (packman by ftp) as install source. I explicitely disabled the refresh for that repository. Now when I run sw_single it gives me an error if my network connection is down (as it is in many cases, as I'm using dial-up), saying that: Cannot access installation media 20061116-230553 CD1 Check that server is accessible The details are: ftp://ftp2.lug.ro/packman/suse/10. Curl error for: ftp://ftp2.lug.ro/packman/suse/10.1/repodata/repomd.xml: Error code: Connection failed Error message: Couldn't resolve host 'ftp2.lug.ro' Choices are OK, Abort, Skip. If I select skip, I get a warning: There was an error in installation source initialization. ftp://ftp2.lug.ro/packman/suse/10.1/: Cannot create the installation source After this the Initializing screen is visible for a few seconds and I hear the DVD drive (containing the Beta2 DVD) spinning up, and I end up with an empty yast window, without texts or buttons on it. The only solution is to kill the y2base process. Now if I run inst_source, it tries to download the same file, it fails, and it removes the packman repository from the available sources. If I run inst_source with the network up, it refreshes the repository from the net... Of course, as I stated refresh is OFF for this repo. IIRC this worked correctly with Beta1. Just a note: if I add the repository, bring down the network and start sw_single it works for the first time, but if I start it some time later, it shows the bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 206563] New: Can't access the Exchange Global Address List

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206563 Summary: Can't access the Exchange Global Address List Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Evolution AssignedTo: kharish(a)novell.com ReportedBy: David.Walker(a)ucop.edu QAContact: anagappan(a)novell.com I've been using Evolution's Exchange plugin for a couple of months without problem, except I can't access the Exchange Global Address List, and I can't set permissions for others to access my calendar. I believe, though, that the permissions problem is actually just a result of the fact that I can't access the Global Address List. When I click on Global Address List in Evolution's Contacts window, I get an error popup saying "Error loading addressbook. We were unable to open this addressbook. This either means you have entered an incorrect URI or the server is unreachable." >From tcpdump and the server logs, we can see that Evolution does, in fact, communicate with the server and authenticate successfully, but I still don't get access. Is there any debugging output on my end that I can check for clues? FYI, I tried installing the patched Evolution 2.6.0 mentioned in bug #179483, but I got the same message. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
