[opensuse-factory] Installation without CD possible for 10.2Beta1 ?
by Bjoern Voigt 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

I tried to install openSuSE 10.2Beta1 according to http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD I downloaded the CD iso files and copied them to a separate partition. Unfortunately the last step (the installation itself) does not work for me. From the above wiki site: * The first message will be /Make sure that CD number 1 is in your computer. Press /OK/./ * You then get notified that it could not find the CD and it will start the Manual Setup. Press /OK/. * You need to select the Language. Press /OK/. * Choose the keyboard map. Press /OK/. * You get the main menu. Select /Start installation or System/ which is the default and press /OK/. * You get /Start installation or Update/ and must choose either network (via FTP) or Hard Disc (local drive) o Via Network. [...] o Hard Disk. You will be asked to choose the partition. Next choose the directory. + For ISO files you will need to type the directory and *complete filename of the first ISO file*. + /Example/ -- Partition: */sda1* (USB hard drive) Directory: */SUSECDs/SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-i386-CD1.iso -> Error: no installation root system found (or a similar message)* I have never successfully mounted an ISO file using this method. But in 10.1 and before it was possible to unpack the ISO file for instance to "/SUSECD1/SUSE-CD1/" and to choose this as the directory. Unfortunately in this step there it's not possible to make screen shots or to see log files. Has anyone successful tested the installation method from http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD together with openSuSE-10.2Beta1 ?

[opensuse-factory] Proposal for new PAckage for 10.2
by Dominique Leuenberger 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hi everybody, I know, basically it is to late to add new packages to the distribution at this time, as we hit Beta1. On the other hand, it should not affect the base system at all: Yesterday, Frozen Bubble 2 hit the download servers. After giving it a try, I can just say: WOW! It is so much more polished than frozen bubble 1 was (ok: it has been a looooong time since FB1 was released. What do you think? Can we manage to replace FB1 by FB2 until final release of 10.2?

[opensuse-factory] [Beta1] VMWare giant fonts solved
by Rolf Offermanns 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Somehow the "Pixel pro Zoll" (pixel per inch?) setting in the Gnome fontconfig. was set to 224. I was able to start the font config. in a remote X session (it was unusable in the local X session because of the huge fonts) and change the value back to 96 and now the fonts are OK. -Rolf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] kdepim in beta1: No more syncing of any kind?
by Alex 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Just noted that in beta1 there is no more kdepim3-sync package. I see some note in the kdepim3 changelog about a switch to opensync (which I have installed, also the kdepim plugin). However, Kontact is complaining about a missing libmultisyncpart.la when I chose "Synchronization". Something I'm missing here? (On a related note: Has anybody been able to sync the contacts to a mobile phone from kaddressbook via gnokii? I'm still a victim of bug #112907015...)

But there is no Official External Plugins like Podcast, Minimode and so on. Here is a page describing the plugins: http://banshee-project.org/PluginRepository The source rpm on ftp.suse.com builds the banshee-plugins-extra. But there is no binary rpm on the ftp server. And the banshee project have a own yum repository containing it but I rather use the "official" opensuse ones.

AFAIK, the API did not change anymore since alpha1 for TB. So most probably, the enigmail.xpi is just to restrictive. You can unpack it and modify the values in the xml file for it to work in beta1 too. Most plugins I ever used could just be adopted to the latest version of TB by such a small trick.

[opensuse-factory] Beta1 report
by Rolf Offermanns 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hi! The following bits were done using the 10.2 Beta1 DVD on a VMWare Server, new VM, 4G hdd. First try: I used the proposed partioning with 1 swap and 1 root partition. When yast tried to format the sda2 partitioning the installation stoppend and I got an error saying that sda2 was in use and could not be formatted. I was back at the textmode yast. Second try: After reboot from the first try This time the hdd was already partioned and the formating could be done. I choosed "minimal destop system" as I just wanted to try some 3rd party software. After the installation was done I ended up with a 800x600 desktop. The keyboard layout was qwery although I choosed german during installation. I tried to change the resolution to 1024x768 but in this mode the fonts are huge (one letter fills 1/3 of the screen height). This is in sax2 and then also in xdm. I changed back to textmode and copied /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Let me know if you need further information and if I shall fill bugs about something. -Rolf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
