[opensuse-factory] X.org 7.2-1.2 in Beta1?
by Jens Nixdorf 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Hi all, just installed Beta 1 onto my Notebook and almost everything was working fine except X.org. My notebook runs a ATI X 1600 Mobility and while this chip isnt supported by X.org itself (radeon does work only up to X850, none of the X1x00-Chips are supported) Sax2 chooses VESA Framebuffer for it. I dont have to tell you that the framebuffer is very slow, it looks also very ugly, because the notebook has a native resolution of 1280x800, which is not usable with the framebuffer. So i wanted to install the proprietary ATI-driver 8.29.6, which even can make a package for SUSE 10.2. But from the console Sax2 cannot start with sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx, because the fglrx-driver is detecting a X.org-Version 7.2-1.2 instead of a 7.1.99. I found this in the SaX.log: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so (II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc." compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.29.6 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.0 [atiddxSetup] X version mismatch - detected X.org 7.2.-1.2, required X.org 7.1.0.0 (II) UnloadModule: "fglrx" (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module requirement mismatch, 0) At any other place in this and other logs X.org is stated as Version 7.1.99, where is this 7.2-1.2 from? And what can i do to have the right resolution (with or without the fglrx-driver)? Thanks, Jens --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] CD/DVD mounting maze and haze
by Sid Boyce 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Since 10.1 CD/DVD mounting has been a mystery, e.g. ===================================================================== The zen- updater puts up a message thus, "Media change is Required Please insert 'SUSE-Linux-10.1-CD-download-x86_64 (failed to mount on Mounting media failed: cd:///?devices=/dev/hdc)' on media 1 X Abort Transaction "tick" OK ===================================================================== Click on OK and around you go. My Computer has it as "SU1010.001 iso9660" or "102Bet.001" as appropriate, when clicked on, opens as "media:/hdc" in all its glory. Right on up to 10.2beta1, you can install from CD/DVD, thereafter, YaST, zen-updater don't want to recognise of have anything to do with the media after that. Manual mounting works. It just looks a royal mess of something that used to simply work, like /media/dvd and friends. Any clues as to what /etc/fstab should look like as even from a fresh install 10.1/10.2Alpha4, 10.2Alpha4_upgraded_to_10.2Beta1, no reference to CD/DVD is in /etc/fstab. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Hi, in Gnome from 10.1B2 and factory is missing gnome-panel mini-commandline applet. Is it gone from Gnome at all or is it just missing from openSUSE builds? ain --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Beta1 - Possible issues
by Jim Pye 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Just installed Beta 1 and have noticed a couple of possible issues. Will post bugs if these are in fact issues and not just my installation: 1. YaST Software Management. The search does not seem to be working correctly. I have in previous version been able to enter, for example, evolution to find the email system. In Beta 2 I only get a couple of entries for SDL graphics packages. The search for Inkscape returns No Results. 2. Shutdown not working as expected. I choose the Shutdown Computer option from with the Start Menu (KDE) and the machine asks for a confirmation (which is doing a countdown) If I click the confirm button the machine will only shutdown to the kdm login screen. I have to select the Shutdown from this screen to get the machine to actually close down and power off. Thats all I see for the moment... Jim PS Have not been able to install Inkscape (due to issue 1) to see if te icon issue has been resolved...

[opensuse-factory] DVD
by Hugo Costelha 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hi, Just wanted to thank you guys for providing the DVD for beta1. It is some much better to just insert the DVD and go for a coffee while the 15 installation minutes pass... And it took just a day to get the DVD through torrent, the 64-bit one, which for sure has less people seeding, and it will probably just get better over time. I hope that there was no problems with the DVD release, and that the DVD keeps being realesed through all the alpha/beta stages. Cheers, Hugo Costelha --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Notes on successful GUI Smart from alpha 4 to factory (beta1)
by Felix Miata 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Due to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214992 I have been unable to do a fresh install. Due to some good help from Andreas Hanke on this list, I was able to get Smart working on alpha 4 and then upgrade from the gwdg.de factory mirror with Smart's GUI interface. Like YAST, Smart replaced my kernel rather than adding the newer kernel. This I do not like. Mandriva tools default to adding, which I'm used to and much prefer. Somewhere along the way it ought to at least ask which I would prefer and give me a chance to have it added. Because of the reason for bug 214992, I expected to be unable to boot on the new kernel. Luckily, I was wrong on that. The log window doesn't scroll itself. I would rather it tail instead of just sit there like nothing was happening. The icons neither have accompanying text nor tooltips. Guessing what they're supposed to mean is not very smart. Luckily I guessed right on the big green arrow. It is not smart at all about choosing what to download when. My connection was rather lethargic. It waited to near completion of downloading packages to begin the biggest download, OpenOffice.org. That made for an extra 20 minute wait for the actual upgrade installation process to begin while it waited for that one package to finish. Like on Ubuntu, the fetch process window leaves many completed downloads with "stalled" in the time to complete column. That too is rather unsmart. There's so much wrong with the menus I won't get into it. I presume that will eventually be attended to upstream as a result of complaints from others. Regardless of the above shortcomings, it seems to have successfully performed the upgrade. That is a very good feature. I'm amazed that the upgrade process is smart enough to upgrade complex running apps like KDE, and not tell me to restart or reboot when done. :-) -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped."
