Only when the system is started without the drive being connected, the boot process terminates prematurely, even if the drive has been unmounted before shutting down the system. The display shows: waiting for /dev/disk/by-id/ieee1394... blogd: no message logging because /var filesystem is not accessible fsck failed for at least one file system ( not / ) Alas no information on this is found in boot.log ( empty file) or boot.msg ( contains a lot of shell script source information, maybe a bug in its own right, see attachment ) -- 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.

Already submitted to Factory are as of yesterday building of OpenOffice_org-<language> packages as noarch, split of the application modules into subpackages (-base, -calc, -draw, -impress, -math, and -writer) and split of optional features into separate packages (-filters, -mailmerge, -pyuno, -testtool) Known opportunities: split of StarOffice 5.2 filters ("binfilters") and checking/improving of application modules split (eg comparing against how Debian does it). -- 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.

Software management quits without coming back if nothing is to be done after activating "accept". It should be coming back with the message box "Install or remove more packages ?", because there might be more work at hand. -- 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 278619] New: Lucent / Agere ORiNOCO card does not connect when multiple WEP keys are present in AP

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=278619 Summary: Lucent / Agere ORiNOCO card does not connect when multiple WEP keys are present in AP Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4plus Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: casualprogrammer(a)yahoo.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Continued from Bug 249709 On a Sony Vaio PCG-SRX51P with built in Lucent / Agere ORiNOCO mini PCI WLAN card ( this is actually a PCMCIA device with a PCI piggyback ) running openSuSE 10.3 alpha4 connection with an AP is not possible as long as there are multiple WEP keys present in the AP ( FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN (UI), Firmware-Version 08.04.27 ). On issuing iwconfig eth1 essid xyz key 123 ifrenew eth1 no lease would be offered by the AP although the device is shown as connected by the AP. Only after removing all but one WEP keys would the connection take place. As this does not happen with the ipw3945 ( it connects with any of the 4 stored WEP keys ) it looks like a orinoco_cs driver issue, rather than an AP issue. -- 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 284617] New: yast update is slow, picks slow sites, and doesn't let you choose fast mirrors

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=284617 Summary: yast update is slow, picks slow sites, and doesn't let you choose fast mirrors Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: lyeoh(a)inter-touch.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com yast update is slow, picks slow sites, and doesn't let you select and choose fast mirrors to update from. If you run the update configuration option, it replaces the old mirror, doesn't tell you what the new mirror is - which could be randomly worse than the old one AND it takes AGEs to do it. Given the amount of time it takes, I would have thought that it would at least figure out a decent mirror. The packaging and update system in suse 10.2 is a LOT worse than 10.0 or even 9.1. It's not just me who thinks that. Things have got a lot slower for very little benefit if any. The yast source selection stuff is also VERY slow. Even dealing with Windows Update is a more "pleasant" experience than dealing with suse 10.2 update, and its update configuration. -- 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.
