I think this appears in another place or two (e.g., software update). It does not seem to have caused harm, but I can't be sure what file(s) might have been saved. -- 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 460890] New: Add environmental variable to disable gail module at startup

The specific instance I'm dealing with is around Mono's System.Windows.Forms implementation. Right now, it links to gtk+ for theming purposes (similar to Firefox and OpenOffice), and as a result, Gail and atk-bridge are loaded. In our instance, that causes Gail to register our window sooner than the SWF accessibility code does. In this instance, we need to be able to selectively tell Gail to not load. This patch is definitely required for the SWF accessibility support (not currently packaged in openSUSE 11.1), and will likely be required for both Firefox (and #427728) and OpenOffice accessibility. -- 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 462835] New: endless dhcp lease search with unavailable network

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462835 Summary: endless dhcp lease search with unavailable network Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: danielstefanmader(a)web.de QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- When the configured DHCP network is unavailable (no cable connected or wireless router turned off etc.) the computer is in an endless loop trying to get a new lease. Apparently it uses the old lease and looses it right away. On my laptop, this drives the CPU load to constantly about 80% making the fans run. I see this behavior on all 11.1 machines, no matter if installed from DVD or KDE4-LiveCD. I am not using NetworkManager, this is the traditional method.

[Bug 471327] New: Conflicting phonon packages in factory desktop repository
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 02 Feb '09

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471327 Summary: Conflicting phonon packages in factory desktop repository Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ruchir.brahmbhatt(a)ecosmob.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5 I've noticed that at the time new kde4 .0 version is released, at that time phonon packages increment by one version number. For instance, now I see all kde 4.2 packages but I see 4.3 versions for phonon packages. Previously when I was using opensuse 11.0 at that time I mistakenly installed 4.2 phonon packages along with kde 4.1.3 packages and ended up with no sound in many applications. Now I protect the phonon packages before updating kde4 packages but this is somewhat inconvenient because yast locks packages for that instance only and not permanently so I have to take care every time I update kde4 packages. However this will be a good feature if we can permanently lock packages so they don't change. And regarding this I believe the phonon packages should be in sync with kde4 packages and should provide same version series in the repository. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure to add kde4 factory repository. 2. Update packages. 3. Check version numbers of phonon packages. Actual Results: Phonon packages have higher version number than kde4 packages. Expected Results: phonon packages should have same version as kde4 packages. -- 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.

Here the details: - Though I assigned the users to the "audio" group, the sound would not work - ... it would play the login und logoff sequences, but not sound from any other sources - ... it would not play the test-sound, when testing the sound from the YAST sound configuration module - finally I got the sound working, after reinstalling alsa and xine (I'm not really shure, which reinstallation did it). - the test in YAST does still result in no sound, but now the sound works, from all other applications! - Since the problem occured on all 4 installations, I think that it is a bug you can easily find out on any installation. -- 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.

I'll attach y2log.... 2) unsupported/old packages got deleted ( I do *NOT* want this to happen!) I was surpriesed that in update options it's no longer possible to specify if unsupported RPMs shall be kept or deleted (because I want them to be kept!). hmmmm.... so I started a plain update with no special settings. and first I got told that 200+ packages will be deleted :-(((( I see package names like "tpb" and "enigma" which I _really_ want to be kept. deep sigh... 3) error in kvm-kmp-default postinstall there was an error trying to update kvm-kmp-default -- retry did not work, I had to ignore that error and continue. now there are two RPMs installed, I had to remove the old package manually: harald harald > rpm -q kvm-kmp-default kvm-kmp-default-63_2.6.25.5_1.1-31.1 kvm-kmp-default-78_2.6.27.7_9.1-6.4 4) no boot loader -- and no display of grub/install error at the end of the update, the installation of thr boot lodaer failed -- but it's not possible to display the error logs or similar (tried several cycles through the yast boot loader menues without success:-( the grub menu.lst did not get updated at all, still showed the kernel versions from 11.0 :-( so I had to ignore that boot loder stuff and fix that from rescue system:( 5) many (623) RPMs changed arch from x86_86 to i586 including Xserver, emacs etc. after reboot the *BIG* shock was to realize that 623 RPMs are arch i586 instead of x86_64 -- what's going on here ????????????????? full rpm arch list on request (I guess you'll extract this from y2log ?!) I used "zypper install emacs.x86_64" etc. for all those i586 packages to manually switch back to 64 bit arch -- now only wine etc. are left as i586 (not counted in those 623 RPMs). this update really was disapointing -- I which I'd have had time and disk space to beta-test this before. is no one testing updates anymore these days ????? -- 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.
