https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228621 Summary: Problem with multiple primary partitions Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rgreen(a)mail.ru QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com It seems that there are some discrepancies in partition->dev mapping between boot loader and OS itself. Some details. I have 2 primary partitions on my SATA HDD: 1. Active(boot partition) with NTLDR (of Windows XP x64; the OS itself is installed in a logical partition). 2. Windows XP 32-bit system partition. This dual boot system worked fine. Recently I decided to install SUSE 10.2 as the third OS (I allocated 3 logical partitions for it). I chose default boot loader(GRUB) to be installed in SUSE's boot partition, not in MBR (to load it with NTLDR). The installation went fine until the first reboot. Only GRUB's command shell appeared. ROOT command reported incorrect partition(one of NTFS Windows partitions). It seems that GRUB could not find its conf file. As I am a complete newbie in Linux, I simply decided to reinstall SUSE and selected LILO as boot loader (which I also ordered to be installed to SUSE's boot partition). This time all went fine and I got bootable SUSE finally. Some time later I run Yast boot loader configuration tool. I did no changes, just looked and pressed OK. And the next reboot failed - LILO spawned a bunch of '99' and halted! Sorry in advance for the messed report - I am just starting with Linux. -- 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 160812] Monitor remains blank after starting X

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=160812 ------- Comment #74 from eich(a)novell.com 2007-01-03 02:28 MST ------- Stefan, the non-working system uses a lib64 load path while the working one uses a lib load path. This suggests that the working system is 32 bit while the non-working system is 64 bit. IMHO we sould compare more comparable installations. -- 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.

The situation is better in 10.2, as I don't get automaticaly the "F7" key when switching back to VT7 as before. BUT if I push F1 or F7 without releasing the CTRL and ALT keys beforehand, I'll get F1 or F7 not CTRL-ALT-F1 or CTRL-ALT-F7. In Firefox this gives the help window or "carret dialog".

[Bug 227423] New: Spurious mouse clicks while scrolling backward with mouse wheel.
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227423 Summary: Spurious mouse clicks while scrolling backward with mouse wheel. Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.pfaller(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de When scrolling with the mouse wheel (only while scrolling backwards) some apps receive spurious mouse click events (like clicking with the left button) leading to randomly selected items or text. This seems to be timing dependent since I can only observe this behavior when the scrolling by the app is CPU intensive, e.g. - In kmail scrolling in a single large text message (in the message pane) works fine but scrolling in either the message list or folder list causes constant selection of either a message or folder. - Scrolling a web page in Firefox randomly selects text (sometimes even a short time (0.5-1 s) after I have stopped scrolling with the wheel) - Scrolling in rxvt-unicode oder konsole works fine (even if I select text before scrolling it remains selected so no spurious clicks happen). My mouse is a MS Intellimouse Optical 1.1A USB/PS2 model but a Logitech mouse I used as a test showed the same problems. Both were connected via PS2. Further tests showed that this only happens if my mouse is connected via my KVM (an old Cybex Switchview 4-port PS2 KVM). However I have been using this KVM since several years with many different OS's, e.g. SuSE since 6.x, QNX, Windows, FreeBSD and several others and never had any problems. It also happens if the SuSE 10.2 system (Athlon XP X2 3800) is the only connected system (and therefore the mouse is never switched to another system). The behavior is 100% reproducible. I am assigning this to the kernel component but this could certainly also be caused by X. -- 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.
