[opensuse-factory] OpenOffice_org-sdk
by Sami Vento 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Hi I was building package with buildservice and then I got this error: expansion error: nothing provides OpenOffice_org-sdk, nothing provides libpython2.4.so.1.0()(64bit) needed by OpenOffice_org So OpenOffice_org-sdk(x86_64) is missing. Distribution was SUSE_Factory but sdk is also missing in 10.0(i586) and 10.1(i586). There was also dependecy problem with missing libpython2.4.so. Caused by python 2.5? -- Sami Vento --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Either Dirsch or I seem to be misunderstanding what factory ftp is and/or is for. Why does Dirsch seem to think I need to waste my time burning and installing from CD instead of just installing from FTP? Does Dirsch not understand that even after 10.2 is released that FTP installs will need to succeed? Does Dirsch not understand that retests only from DVD or CD mean that retests get delayed and could prevent a fix from being found and verified prior to release date? Is Dirsch the only Novell person capable of trying to recreate this bug or verify a fix? From Dirsch's comments in this and other bugs it seems he has limited resources at his disposal. Aren't i81x chipsets rather common? Why has this bug been open so long? -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped." Psalm 28:7 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] Yast Printer Module dies on x86_64
by marc.mcswain＠academy.com 23 Oct '06

23 Oct '06

I had seen someone mention this before, but I can't find it now. Since Alpha 5 the Yast Printer module will not allow configuration of a printer. It gets to the point of Checking Database of Printers, and a new window pops up and says that the List of Printers has changed, and then it instantly closes the Printer Module. Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I did not see it when I looked.

And that's exactly the way most users are installing it (except if they already know more about the system, like probably you and guess what: also me! THESE users are probably the ones a bit new to Linux and THEY are the one that can spread a good word besides the pro! I mean for myself there is no problem at all! I download the DVD, burn it and add the FTP Repos as additional install sources.

I know, it's a bit of work and sometimes it requires some point of understanding, but hey: isn't this normal for discussions?

Your subtone in the writing is more than... how to say... unfriendly! I did not whine about the CDs at all. I for myself use DVDs and I'll probably always stick on this. And I don't complain that openSUSE has 5 or 7 CDs (as in the current state) BUT, (and that's something Novell is also working on!) that the default installation is using the least of these CDs possible. I think there's nothing more annoying that you have to put a CD just for 3 - 5 packages (which I remember was once back a while) and then the next CD has to be inserted. So by arranging the packages on the CDs, this can be resolved and gives a much better user experiance. So please: if you don't understand what somebody is talking about, then ASK! And ASK friendly and don't just flame around like you did! best regards, Dominique

I assume it does. In this case, I absolutely would like to see the question during the installation to add/replace the CD/DVD Installation source by the FTP-Tree. Default selection would most probably be "no", as far not everybody has a high speed internet connection. Comments on this? Or already implemented?

We're currently planning to produce the following media for installation: * 5 CDs, you need CDs 1-3 for a normal installation with just GNOME or KDE (any language) * 1 AddOn CD with only binary packages on it * 1 AddOn CD with language packages that are used for our tier 2 languages (tier 1 languages are english, french, italian, spanish, german, chinese, japanese and czech - and support for those is on the standard 5 CDs) (the 5 CDs have support for installation in *all* languages, just extra packages are only on this extra media) * 1 DVD containing the contents of the above 7 media (the DVD will only come with the final version to save bandwidth and mirror space) * a FTP tree with open source packages (only for the final version) * a FTP tree with binary packages (only for the final version) The DVD we delivered with Alpha5 has the content of the above mentioned DVD, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj(a)suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

[opensuse-factory] YAST2 printer module crashing

Trying to re-enable my printer, a HP device usually managed by hplip but currently not working, I noticed that the printer module of YAST2 is crashing while rebuilding the printer database: linux:~ # yast2 printer /sbin/yast2: line 267: 30827 Abgebrochen $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" "$Y2_GEOMETRY" $Y2QT_ARGS The ncurses interface is crashing at this point, too.
