https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223519 Summary: rescue: /root/ read-only, partimage missing, perl scripts ?! Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: koenig(a)linux.de QAContact: qa(a)suse.de the directory /root/. in rescue system is read-only. this causes trouble e.g. with ssh: ssh tries to create ~/.ssh/known_hosts which does not work. so it asks about a "new" host for eveyr single connection -- and creation of some (temporary) ssh keys doesn't work either. I tried to set HOME to /tmp/ but ssh still tries to create/use /root/.ssh/ :-( it would be very helpful if /root/ would be writable again (rescue in SUSE 10.1 shows the same problem with read-only /root/.) two more comments about the rescue system: 1) tool suggestion: I'm missing "partimage" in the SUSE rescue system to efficiently copy/clone file systems. this is one reason why I have to boot knoppix or (k)ubuntu or similar by time. 2) perl ?!? rescue doesn't include perl (no problem for me as long as there is awk ;-) but you include a number of perl scripts/tools which doesn't make sense to me: # grep -rl usr/bin/perl *bin/* usr/*bin/* sbin/chkconfig sbin/evms_gather_info sbin/module_upgrade usr/bin/chkdupexe usr/bin/mkinfodir usr/bin/rsyncstats usr/bin/scriptreplay usr/bin/socklist usr/sbin/grubonce usr/sbin/keytab-lilo.pl usr/sbin/sgcheck -- 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.

A workaround like username:password@proxyserver in the proxyserver field is not accepted by linuxrc.

[Bug 219323] New: Better solution for the gnome-doc-utils -devel problem
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 18 Sep '08

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219323 Summary: Better solution for the gnome-doc-utils -devel problem Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke(a)gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa(a)suse.de CC: gekker(a)novell.com gnome-doc-utils has been split to have a -devel subpackage to resolve bug 202003 and bug 210224. The reason for this split was that gnome-doc-utils is pulled in by yelp and in turn pulls other -devel packages so that in the end there are many -devel packages in the default installation. I am still unhappy with this split because Gary Ekker said in bug 202003, comment 3 that gnome-doc-utils should not be split this way because it is a pure development package. Attached you can find a different proposal that might be considered more accurate because basically everything in the package is for development purposes only except for the stylesheets. I have tested this on my system and it does not seem to break anything. Displaying KDE documentation is still broken (bug 217713), but that is a different problem (probably related to stylesheets as well, but different and independent of this problem). In case you go for it, the following further changes would be necessary: (1) Change yelp to require the -stylesheets subpackage instead of gnome-doc-utils. (2) Remove gnome-doc-utils from the gnome_basis pattern, it is unnecessary (it always was, but now it makes a difference) because yelp is already in there and will pull the correct packages provided that (1) is done. (3) Adjust the media layout to reflect that gnome-doc-utils is a development package (i.e., it can go onto a later CD and does not need to be on CD1-3, only -stylesheets needs to be on CD1-3). -- 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 installation was fine, but when I go to boot to the hard drive on the newly installed systems, I simply receive a "GRUB" message where the boot loader should be loading up. The systems freeze there. The original (non-network/autoyast installed) system boots with no problem though. Any ideas? Thanks!
