subfs dropped in 10.1 Beta 2
by houghi 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

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. houghi -- Lost interest? It's so bad I've lost apathy.

Virtual beta testing
by Volker Kuhlmann 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

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 -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.

Networkmanager: where is it?
by Prumbaum, Frank 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

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.

Strange problem
by Kevin R. Garand 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

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. AceMan

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.

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.

Beta2: install on LVM impossible
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

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 -- http://www.hailfinger.org/

Major libSDL performance problems on SuSE 10.1 Beta1 x86-64
by Martin Bickel 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

Hello, I've encountered an extremely degraded performance for all SDL based applications / games on 10.1 Beta1. Drawing the application window is so slow that one can watch it being drawn from top to bottom. An game where this can be observed are for example Battle for Wesnoth. Just start the game and observe the title screen: it takes perhaps 0.1 - 0.2 seconds to be drawn instead of being there instantaneously. But all other SDL based games behave the same, even the sample-applications of SDL itself. Can others confirm this behaviour? I'm running the supplied radeon-driver on an ATI RV350 (Radeon 9600). Does this happen with other platforms / graphics drivers too ? This doesn't occur on my Debian system, which also uses X.Org 6.9.0 with Radeon-driver on x86-64, so it's somehow SuSE related. Regards, Martin

KDE blootooth depencies
by Christian Boltz 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hello, with an older SUSE version, I had problems using bluetooth:/ in Konqueror - it found a friend's mobile phone, but showed only an empty file list for it. It turned out that the backend applications (obexftp etc. - just search for bluetooth in YaST sw_single) were not installed - but there was no warning in Konqueror and no package depency that installed the required packages automatically. Unfortunately, I don't have a bluetooth device to do tests and therefore can't test if this problem is still existent in 10.1 beta. Can someone test it, please? Here's how to reproduce: - uninstall all bluetooth-related packages (search for "bluetooth" in Yast), except the kdebluetooth package, and do not break depencies, of course - enter bluetooth:/ in Konqueror, connect to a device that offers files to download - check if any of the files are displayed in Konquerors file listing If you get an empty list without any error message, the bug is still there. Just tell me and I'll enter a bug report. Regards, Christian Boltz -- Meine sigg macht Urlaub bis Donnerstag. [WoKo in dag°]

nfsv4 README.SUSE
by Marcel Volz 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

I had to do several steps to use nfsv4 in SUSE. There is not much documentation around nfsv4 at the time. Maybe it could be helpful to write a README.SUSE so that more people could use/test nfsv4. Comments welcome! 1. First set up some principal and made a keytab (/etc/krb5.keytab) for the server and client host/<FQDN> and nfs/<FQDN> (des-cbc-crc:normal only) 2. Activated nfs4 and gss in /etc/sysconfig/nfs 3. Had to make a missing directoy:.mkdir /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs (BUG?!) 4. Edited /etc/exports: added /home gss/krb5 (rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check) 5. Then I had to load some modules modprobe auth_rpcgss rpcsec_gss_krb5 . Also added this to MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT to the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel 6. ln -s /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so or edit /etc/gssapi_mech.conf 8. Changed localhost to my domain name in /etc/idmap.conf 9. Started all needed Daemons nfsserver, idmap, svcgssd at the server and idmap and gssd at the client 10. Mounted the Partition: mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 beta:/ /nfs/beta/ -- Greetings/Grüße, Marcel

qtcurve, a replacement for gtk_qt_engine
by jsiebert＠arcor.de 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hi there, I was looking around the last few days for a replacement for the (my opinion) crappy gtk_qt_engine. As far as I know this package is unmaintained at freedesktop.org and creates a lot of problems (like with eclipse, which I use permanently). Besides when using GTK-based apps under KDE with gtk_qt_engine, they look very [CENSORED] in many ways. I found the very promising project qtcurve (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5065) which provides a unified widget theme engine for QT, GTK2 and GTK1. There are binary packages for Suse at Guru's RPM page (http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=/Themes/qtcurve) After some testing I think this is a very good replacement for gtk_qt_engine and I would like to vote for inclusion of this package into one of the next Suse/openSUSE releases. What do you think? Greetings Jens Siebert Machen Sie aus 14 Cent spielend bis zu 100 Euro! Die neue Gaming-Area von Arcor - über 50 Onlinespiele im Angebot. http://www.arcor.de/rd/emf-gaming-1

24 Jan '06

More sub packages have been split out. This should have been done the first go around, but better now than later. The following packages have been added: art-sharp2 gnome-vfs-sharp2 gtkhtml-sharp2 rsvg-sharp2 And for gtk-sharp 1.0.10: art-sharp gda-sharp gnomedb-sharp gtkhtml-sharp rsvg-sharp If you're using gtk-sharp-complete or gtk-sharp2-complete in neededforbuild, you won't need any changes (thanks Rudi!).

gtk-qt-engine removed in 10.1?
by jsiebert＠arcor.de 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Hi there! I looked at some screenshots of Suse 10.1b1 at shots.osdir.com and noticed a new option in the KDE control-center in one of the screenshots (http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=565&slide=15) which covers font and style settings of GTK apps in KDE. Is this related to gtk-qt-engine or is this replaced by another GTK/KDE theme engine in 10.1? Greetings Jens Siebert Machen Sie aus 14 Cent spielend bis zu 100 Euro!

I didn't see where to download the ipw2100 firmware, so as to be able to test wireless? -- ====================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ====================================================== "Greater coherence cannot be achieved.

AW: [SPAM] [opensuse-announce] SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta1 Released
by Prumbaum, Frank 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Hi, while updating my 10.1a4 to 10.1b1 the installation procedure was very slowly reacting, my mouse pointer jumping every second. This startet right after X came up from installation cd. While starting boot cds of 10.0, 10.1a3 or a4 I never had this problem. Furthermore my font installation seems to be a bit messed up, every font package takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours to get installed. This is bit confusing cause I never installed s.th. by myself, my system has gone all the way through 10.0 -> 10.1a3 -> 10.1a4. Could this be an issue of the newly released Xorg? I'm now 30 hours into installation with 40 packages remaining... I can't imagine many who are patient enough waiting that long (Wouldn't it be possible to have a button 'ignore this package'?)
