[opensuse-factory] Building NetworkManager PPTP .. but where oh where can I find / get pppd.h for RC1 ?
by Bruce A. Mallett 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

I thought I'd try my hand at building the NetworkManager PPTP plugin but it requires this file. The pin util. does not find it and a google seems to indicate ppp-devel. Is that avail. for RC1? Perhaps from the source that I did not check-off (and have consequently now lost) during the install?

[opensuse-factory] Default wallpaper in KDE
by Silviu Marin-Caea 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

I think SUSE artists can do much better that that washed out blue wallpaper "gnome boredoom"-style. Can we have something more that goes better with the default KDE theme? Minor cosmetic issue, but still, the default wallpaper is the first thing users see. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 7/8 DVDs???
by Volker Kuhlmann 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

The size of the 86 DVDs dropped from 4GB to 3.5GB from beta2 to rc1. Where did the half gigabyte go?

Why did the Language got removed? Up to the versions beofre RC1, we had them. Do you now expect people of non-tier-1 to get a DVD AND a CD?

[opensuse-factory] ext2
by Frank-Michael Fischer 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

from /var/log/boot.omsg after a 10.2 RC1 boot: "<4>ext2: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag." 1. Is there a module from "Novell" handling ext2 file systems at all? If so: is it patented? ;-) 2. If not what is Novell's problem with ext2 file systems? In older machines e.g it can make perfect sense to set up an ext2 /boot partition. It makes also sense for "ro" partitions. Did I miss something here? I always thought ext2 is supported under GPL. Appreciating any enlightenment on this issue.

[opensuse-factory] Selected update mirror
by Hugo Costelha 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

I installed openSUSE 10.2 RC1 with language en_UK, and selected time zone from Portugal. When it arrived to the part of setting the online update, YaST selected a mirror outside Portugal, when there is a mirror in Portugal (as you can see by checking the mirrors list in the wiki). Should I file a bug report about this? I would expect that when selectoing Portugal as location, that it would choose a Portuguese mirror.

[opensuse-factory] Observation: software install in RC1 can be a bit unfriendly
by Bruce A. Mallett 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

After installing RC1 I decided to add a package that I know is on the DVD. As this time I had installed with GNOME, I went into the Computer->Install Software menu to do a search for that package. Unfortunately what I got was zen taking up 100% of the CPU for ever and ever .. until I eventually killed it. I then went to Yast -> Software Management. This started to download updates from the web with no apparent way to stop it. It is now 20 minutes later and it is still running. This seems like an unneighborly sort of user interaction. If the user wants to install something that is on the local DVD there ought to be a way for one to do that *quickly* and not be subject to a degree of automation that resembles some interminable auto-destruct sequence in a bad SciFi movie. :) - Bruce --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Font Funkiness
by Randall R Schulz 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi, I just witnessed an odd phenomenon and I'm wondering if it's a sign of a problem or an aspect of the way font rendering operates (I can imagine it either way). Specifically, I opened the Beagle window by clicking its tray icon. When the window appears, the fonts were extremely ragged. I decided to take a snapshot, so I used the system (KDE / Geeko) menu to launch KSnapshot. I took a picture of the Beagle window. While I was doing so, I was paying attention only to the KSnapshot interface and had neglected to really watch the Beagle window. When I finally dismissed the KSnapshot window (after capturing and saving the picture) I was startled to see that the ragged font display had been replaced with a properly smoothed one. I've seen the phenomenon repeat itself after this first instance (again in the Beagle GUI). So my question is this: Is this a bug or is there some kind of asynchronous rendering of smoothed fonts that sometimes leads to a ragged font display upon first use of a given font but which is later replaced with the smoothed version, once the smoothed glyphs have been rendered?

[opensuse-factory] Smart and Factory
by Sid Boyce 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

I selected the smart channel http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source and selected packages for upgrade, but the packages downloaded are not the same as in the i586 directory, e.g smart downloads and upgrades to flex-2.5.33-17, but there is only flex-2.5.33-20 available in factory. During the package download, smart points to the correct directory. I have no other channels setup and I'm puzzled as to what is happening, why it seems to be downloading a RPM that seems non-existent and always at a lower revision than seen in factory.

Maybe were better to have separate repository _only_ for languages (we have already pattern for languages). ain (Sorry, Pascal for private posting - gmail cannot understand that this is a mailing list letter - as other lists I use work fine, I think it is not gmails fault) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
