https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=343670 Summary: Bootloader -- Cannot be reset to propose a new configuration or reset doesn't work Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: dfiser(a)novell.com ReportedBy: locilka(a)novell.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com CC: anicka(a)novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=184422) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=184422) logs, etc. I've been installing openSUSE 10.3 PPC on Mac mini. It had the MacOS_whatever already installed and it occupied the whole disk. Partitioner didn't find any solution and wrote this in the proposal: No automatic proposal possible. Specify mount points manually in the 'Partitioner' dialog. Bootloader wrote this: Configure a valid boot loader location before continuing. In case that no selection can be made it may be necessary to create a PReP Boot partition. (PPC bootloader needs PReP Boot partition to be installed there). Even if I either created a valid partitioning or let partitioner use the whole disk, Bootloader didn't use that "new" partitioning. So I tried "Propose New Configuration" (bootloader) and also "Start from Scratch". Nothing worked. In my opinion, Bootloader proposal should be be updated when partitioning changes, especially when no valid configuration was possible before. See the attachment * /var/log/YaST2/ (all logs) * /root/yast2-screen-shots (screenshots of the problem) * pdisk--list.txt (list of the current partitioning) -- 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.

[Bug 227513] New: Missing username/password in $http_proxy and friends

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227513 Summary: Missing username/password in $http_proxy and friends Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mludvig(a)logix.net.nz QAContact: qa(a)suse.de I need to supply username and password for my webproxy. Once set in Yast Proxy module it's supposed to be exported to http_proxy (and https_proxy, ftp_proxy) environment variables. Although the proxy hostname and port are exported as expected the username and password part is missing. I.e. instead of http_proxy=http://user:password@proxyhost:3128 I get only http_proxy=http://proxyhost:3128 which is of not much use for programs like wget. Indeed I set it up manually in .bashrc but I believe it should be done by Yast for me. -- 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.

It appears to be detected and the module is loaded but the interface goes down when it's handed over to NetworkManager.

[Bug 337665] New: Printer out of paper disables printer, needs admin to fix

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=337665 Summary: Printer out of paper disables printer, needs admin to fix Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix(a)novell.com ReportedBy: com.opensuse(a)bucksch.org QAContact: jsmeix(a)novell.com Found By: Customer Reproduction: (typical day-to-day end-user scenario) 1. Put only 2 sheets of paper in your printer, or no paper at all 2. Print a document with 3 pages 3. When printer complains, refill paper 4. Press print again and again and again Actual result: When the printer is out of paper, CUPS automatically disables the printer. You can only reactivate it by going to the CUPS admin console, entering the admin (typically root) password, and enable the printer. Expected result: - When the printer has paper again, the printing of the current job resumes and new jobs are carries out as well. - Or, worse, but far better than now: Only cancel current job, but keep printer active. Importance: This is an extremely common end user scenario. Clueless newbies being out of paper happens all the time. I just had to remote assist my father because of that, and felt embarrassed for Linux. Of course he felt no need to tell me that he once was out of paper, because that's a completely normal and unproblematic situation for him - put paper in and all is well. And he's right: It's a complete non-issue on all other systems I used in the last decade. The first time that happened, it took me *hours* to figure out what happened. I did not imagine that such a simple, temporary problem would permanently disable a printer. You need an admin to recover from "out of paper". It may make sense for a big facility where the printer has its own admin (and that admin can reconfigure CUPS all he wants), but makes no sense at all in the normal desktop situation where you have an average users who doesn't know what "print jobs" are, much less the admin interfaces or root password. The average users are the majority and rely on the default settings, so the default needs to change. -- 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.

[Bug 399120] New: Konqueror crash on de.beta.wetter.com

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=399120 User suse-beta(a)cboltz.de added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=399120#c6 Summary: Konqueror crash on de.beta.wetter.com Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE3 AssignedTo: kde-maintainers(a)suse.de ReportedBy: suse-beta(a)cboltz.de QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=221383) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=221383) backtrace I found a reproducable Konqueror crash with http://de.beta.wetter.com/ Reproducer: - go to http://de.beta.wetter.com/ - enter "Neustadt" in the "Wetter Schnellsuche" box - press return - click one of the results (for example "Hamburg") cb400f could reproduce this crash also, but only with KDE 3.5. Konqueror from KDE 4.1 doesn't crash on this page. Another detail that could be interesting: The crash only happens when you select a link from the search results. If you search for a town that only brings up a single result (search for "Insheim"), there's an automatic redirect to the only match (you don't need to click) and Konqueror does not crash. This means that the problematic code is probably called by the onClick handler of the result list. The full backtrace (153 steps) is attached.

Switching to the old style menu, the applications where in the appropriate catagory spots. Then after switching back to the kickoff menu, they appeared in the menu as an option to select as they should be. -- 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.
