https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340720 Summary: rename linux-kernel-headers Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth(a)novell.com ReportedBy: jengelh(a)gmx.de QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer A lot of newbies think that linux-kernel-headers are required for kernel module building and accordingly get confused when its version number is not the same as kernel-$yourFlavor and come up with blame on lkh.rpm. Suggestion to rename linux-kernel-headers to e.g. glibc-linux-headers. -- 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 385957] New: Files encrypted by mcrypt cannot be unencrypted on older systems
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385957 Summary: Files encrypted by mcrypt cannot be unencrypted on older systems Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Security AssignedTo: security-team(a)suse.de ReportedBy: R.Vickers(a)cs.rhul.ac.uk QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Customer The changelog for mcrypt indicates that the OpenPGP file format is now the default. However: (1) this change is not documented in the man page (2) the man page does not describe how to change the default back again (3) Files encrypted under 10.3 cannot be unencrypted under at least some other systems, e.g. SuSE 10.2 and Windows: see bug 385951 mcrypt is designed to be a simple program usable by people with no understanding of cryptography, so in my opinion it is vital that defaults are chosen to provide maximum interoperability. If the default cannot be changed back I suggest that at the very least the man page should describe how to create files that can be read on other systems. -- 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.

What ever I set the option for result when pushing the power button in gnome-power-manger (ask, suspend, hibernate...) The button appears to be ignored or there is no notification getting passed up that the button was pushed. I don't know if being an 'unknown' system for s2ram has anything to do with this. -- 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 404881] New: Dell XPS M1530 laptop cursor problems with openSUSE 11.0
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 18 Feb '09

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404881 Summary: Dell XPS M1530 laptop cursor problems with openSUSE 11.0 Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: stilo_vingyou(a)hotmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Other I installed openSUSE 11 on a Dell XPS M1530 laptop. It has Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00 GHz, 3 GB Dual channel DDR2 RAM, 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT video card and 250 GB SATA Hard Disk. It came with Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled. There's no way you can buy this laptop without having Windows Vista preinstalled. It had two partitions - C drive with Vista @ 110 GB and D drive with recovery at 10 GB. There was remaining unallocated space. I tried to dual-boot Vista with openSUSE 11 installed in the unallocated space but Yast said "cannot shrink the partitions due to inconsistent filesystems." So I formatted the hard disk clean with Gparted. Then allocated 30 GB for root and 6 GB for swap and installed the complete openSUSE 11 with all options on the DVD to the system. The complete installation took 45 minutes. My problem is as soon as I move the cursor through the touchpad in any desktop environment GNOME, KDE 3, KDE 4 or Xfce, the cursor automatically moves randomly in all directions and adds extra panels, opens different applications and stops. If I move the cursor again it again goes on displaying the same erratic behaviour. Then I killed the X server in all desktop environments by pressing CTRL, ALT, Backspace twice and rebooted. I went to the failsafe mode of openSUSE from Grub and booted in all the desktop environments and closed all those panels and applications. In failsafe mode, the cursor behaves normally like in any other laptop. But when I go back and boot the main openSUSE 11 kernel and into any of the desktop environments, the cursor again starts displaying that erratic behaviour. So what should I do now to stop this erratic behaviour of the cursor? This problem is not specific to openSUSE 11. The cursor displays the same erratic behaviour in Knoppix 5, NimbleX 2007, Slax server edition also. Interestingly when I run the openSUSE 10.3 Live DVD in Live mode in either GNOME or KDE 3, the cursor behaves normally. I didn't install openSUSE 10.3 since I wanted to try the new openSUSE 11. -- 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.
