Hello all,
During the IRC meeting from 2006-01-24 it was announced that subfs has
been dropped. IRC log and minutes can be found at
http://www.opensuse.org/2006-01-24-status-meeting and the timestap for the
subfs issue begins at 19:47
>From the minutes:
- subfs has been dropped and will be replaced by hal plus
gnome-volume-manager (under GNOME) and some binary for KDE.
non-KDE and non-GNOME users have to mount manually. They cant
even put a line into /etc/fstab, so that a user can mount it.
There was a consens that this is unacceptable.
Action Item houghi:
- start discussion about subfs replacement in non KDE/GNOME systems on
opensuse-factory
Questions that arise:
- Should this be accepted or should it be delayed till
a complete solution is given?
- As the question came from an FAQ about having subfs disables, is
there perhaps a better solution for everybody. Easy disableling
subfs for those who want it and enabled for those who want that.
- What are the implications of reversing the decision? What are
the implications of going on as it is?
Any other solutions or comments are welcome as well. Also bear in mind
that some people might login over ssh and do not even have a
windowmanager.

Lost interest? It's so bad I've lost apathy.
Suppose one has access to a computer resonably well endowed in the CPU
and disk departments, running SUSE 10.0. By far most of the beta testing
could be done inside something like vmware. However, vmware is out of
rea$$ of the average home user. What are the options? Xen, qemu,
seperate disk partition to install into, ...? Can someone who has played
with Xen, qemu, etc give a quick rundown for this purpose?
Given a limited bandwidth which would make it at least 2 days to
download all the selected packages, the above ability of doing this in
some container running on a standard desktop box in the background would
be a prerequisite. This would save having to download all the CDs in
advance (and therefore a lot of unused volume).
Is it possible to burn the downloaded used packages to DVD to test a
non-virtual installation as well?
Thanks,
Volker

Hello,
after installing a3,a4 and now beta1 I haven't
found the new network configuration utility yet.
O.K., it seems to be an Desktop Applet visible in
KDE systray, but I cannot see it. I have a two monitor (nvidia twinview)
configuration. Maybe there is s.th. missing? Strange
enough I have one desktop in my mother language german while
the other stays in english.
Is there a way to start it as an independet application
(it won't show up by simply starting the binary)?
Now, if I want a network interface restarted, I can't
do it via 'ifdown eth1', I have to do rcnetwork stop|start.
Greetings,
Frank

perfect order.

Hi,
I just learned, that susewatcher has been dropped for 10.1 (see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=85780). Is there a
replacement?

Hello All,
I installed OpenSuSe 10.1 beta with all the updates on a Dell Optiplex,
with Windows XP on the first partition. Basically Windows was installed
first, and then on the free space Open SuSE was installed. Now during
reboot, I get just the Dell POST screen, it goes black, and then the
Dell POST screen again, and this would go on forever if I let it. I
know it hardly seems like an SuSe problem because it is barely getting
to the boot process. I apologize in advance if this isn't the proper
procedure for this type of thing, but I do not know how to create a bug
report (if it is) and I am looking for help. Thank you in advance as
well. BIOS has been put back to hard drive as first device as I booted
from CD-ROM to install.
Again, many apologies if needed as well as many thanks for any advice.

No, unfortunately not. Installing the new fontconfig didn't help.
To demonstrate and reproduce the problem, I've made the attached test
program (build instructions included). It just makes simple screen
updates for 20 seconds without drawing anything.
Debian unstable, X.org 6.9.0 with radeon driver, SDL 1.2.9, x86-64:
230 fps
SuSE 10.1 beta 1, X.org 6.9.0-9 with radeon driver, SDL 1.2.9, x86-64:
2 fps !!!
So 2 fps is the upper limit that _any_ SDL-based 2D-applications will
reach on SuSE 10.1. And most games and emulators included in SuSE are
based on SDL.
I suggest to get some more results from different installations to see
if this problem is specific to my setup or common.
Regards,
Martin Bickel

Hi,
just filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=145928
because installing on LVM will not work. If you really need
that, run "vgchange -a y" on a commandline directly before
clicking on "OK" for installation.
However, if your / is on LVM and /boot is not, the install
will fail at the bootloader stage because /boot is mounted
before / and thus is invisible after mounting / .
Don't worry, this will probably be fixed soon.
Regards,
Carl-Daniel
