Beta1-mini.iso not working
by Rauch Christian 22 Jan '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi List, i downloaded 10.1 Beta1 today and tried to install using a 10.0 Installation Server and using SUSE-10.1-CD-OSS-i386-Beta1-mini.iso for install. I triplechecked this iso, so md5sum is correct, and it gets burned correct(K3B Checks succeeds), but i can not boot with this CD. Can anyone tell me, whats wrong? Is this one not to be used for, what the old boot.iso (e.g. in 10.0 inst-source/boot) was for? Or is there something wrong with my system or the iso? btw. size of this iso comes quite small to me, only 37 mb instead of 64 mb for 10.0.

Apt and SUSE 10.1 Beta 1
by James PEARSON 22 Jan '06

Hello all Has anyone installed and used "apt" on the SUSE beta 10.1? I installed the same two apt and apt-lib rpm packages that I am using on SUSE 10.0: apt-0.5.15cnc7-6 apt-libs-0.5.15cnc7-6 I used the "sources.list" from http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.1-i386/examples/sources.list… When I ran "apt-get update" I got the following error message: apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Running Apt update... apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Checked to what the differences between rpm and librpm were on SUSE 10.0 et SUSE 10.1 BETA1.

Done Good but not good enough as there are still have a few important problems to solve before I apt will work as shown below... apt-get dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: apt: Depends: librpm-4.1.so but it is not installable Depends: librpmdb-4.1.so but it is not installable Depends: librpmio-4.1.so but it is not installable apt-libs: Depends: librpm-4.1.so but it is not installable Depends: librpmdb-4.1.so but it is not installable Depends: librpmio-4.1.so but it One last thing... I noticed that the the SUSE 10.1 BETA CDs contain version "apt-libs-0.5.15cnc7-9" (I installed "cnc7-6") but there is no "apt" package. I know that smart is the way of the future but I still like using the two of them. All comments welcome James

Remarks on 10.1 B1
by houghi 21 Jan '06

21 Jan '06

Hello, I am back again. :-) All things below (exept for the Matrox/sax 2 problem) have been entererd in Bugzilla. I will try to figure out a bit more before I do that. I have just tried installing 10.1B1 a few times and these are some of my remarks. Some very minor, some major. 1) makeSUSEdvd works. Good. :-) 2) Explanation of KDE and Gnome could be better. Now beginners could become confused. Perhaps a line like "If in doubt select Gnome" could be added. [minor] 3) Keyboard selection is not very obvious. A beginner might be fearfull to go to Expert mode, just so he can selct his Belgian keyboard. (I choose Belgian, because it is not a language, so setting it through there won't work) [medium] 4) It would be nice to have some sound when the machine reboots. That way you do not have to pay constand attention how far it is. Some people also use just one monitor/keybord and this way they can still work on the other PC. [minor] 5) Test connection (wich does not work, I know) tells me the connection will be done via eth-is-00:... instead of just eth0. If I have more then one card, this can become confusing. [medium] 6) When a user is made, the defaults to recieve system mail and auto login should be reversed. This has been discussed before. [medium] 7) My Wintv-PVR card is nicely recognised, yet gives an error 'Cannot start WinTC-PVR 350' [medium] 8) When I see the login for the first time, I am unable to do [CTRL][ALT][F1] to get to CLI. [Major] 9) .vimrc would be nice to have as a default to have colours. [minor] 10) Root on a terminal would be nice to have a different color as text (PS1 and such) [minor] 11) Although the system perfectly recognises my Matrox G550, it fails to set the dualscreen correctly (or partially correctly). I will start another thread about this, because more is going on. houghi -- "California is proud to be the home of the freeway." -- Ronald Reagan

[minor] I suggest a screen-shot of the default desktop of each, with the Launch menu open. > 6) When a user is made, the defaults to recieve system mail and auto login > should be reversed. This has been discussed before. [medium] openSUSE is for home-use, so autologin by default is fine. > 10) Root on a terminal would be nice to have a different color as text > (PS1 and such) [minor] Yes, a coloured prompt would be really nice.
