installing beta 1 with ATI fglrx driver
by Robert Schiele 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

Hi everybody, if you wanted to install the ATI proprietary fglrx driver on a 10.1 beta 1 system you will have the problem that some files from the fglrx package are linked to an expat library version that is no longer shipped with beta 1. If you still want to use the fglrx driver with beta 1 you can install the package http://pi3.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/~schiele/beta1/expat-compat-0-0.i586.… as a workaround. If you need the same package for a 64 bit system, drop me a note and I might … [View More]

[WARNING] Don't use drpmsync while repository is broken
by Robert Schiele 14 Jan '06

Hi everybody! I recommend not using drpmsync with the Factory repository at the moment until https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=143260 is fixed because if you run drpmsync at the moment you will lose about 1/3 of all your packages what will lead to the annoying situation that you have to redownload them as _full_ packages instead of deltas again when the problem is fixed.

faster reboot with kexec, debugging panics with kdump
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

Hi, it seems kexec support was merged in the latest SUSE 10.1 snapshot. This enables you to skip the BIOS when rebooting. Especially if your BIOS is slow/buggy/whatever, this is a really nice feature to have. To test it, install kexec-tools from latest factory snapshot and a recent kernel (those from factory are recent enough). Boot into single user. # kexec -l --command-line="`cat /proc/cmdline`" --initrd=/boot/initrd /boot/vmlinuz # remount ro / # kexec -e You should now see the new … [View More]
