[opensuse-factory] update to RC1 with add on source fails
by Carlos E. R. 03 Dec '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have an 10.1 test partition that I intended to dedicate to testing the update to 10.2 RC1, but it failed. As add on source, I enter: <ftp://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/> I get the error (hand copied): <Unknown source type xxx ftp://ftp.opensuse.org/%2fpub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-sou…> I select retry, get a different bigger dialog box (the one that allows for login/pass/anonymous), choose http this time, and I get almost the same error, less the %2f: <Unknown source type xxx ftp://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/> I switch to a text console, and I try "ping ftp.opensuse.org", getting "unknown host...". I then type "ifconfig", and I see that only the "lo" network interface is active. How come? How can I add an add on URL source, if the network has not being activated yet, and I see nowhere where I can activate it? (The 10.1 install,, that I had run previously to create a new test partition with this update test in mind, had detected the network fine: dns, connectivity test, et all) I was told here that this type of add on source was working, last october, by Andreas Hanke (<http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2006-10/msg00355.html>). Also, Andreas Jaeger says it is possible, but in a way I do not understand how to do: <http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2006-10/msg00334.html> - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFFbzBdtTMYHG2NR9URAu7zAJ4+t1M3B0pY7WEZrpNX9UzUC9kzGACgiZIK LuoaTsdQuU2a7N0RlbDu3oA= =+mnD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] No sound in RC1
by Basil Chupin 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Am I doing something wrong or is this a known problem in 10.2 (RC1)? It was also in Beta 2 but I didn't pay too much attention to it because I wasn't trying out the multimedia features. While I have the sound card configured correctly and I do get sound on boot and shutdown, I have no sound when using kradio or kdetv. Is this a bug or is there something which needs a tweak (or a kick up the ......)?

[opensuse-factory] Q: Nautilus and removable device icons
by Juergen Orschiedt 01 Dec '06

Is it possible to show different icons for mounted/unmounted removable (USB) devices? It's a bit annoying always to right click to see the mount status... cheers, Juergen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] ZMD updater hangs at 99%
by David Wright 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

I've been running SUSE 10.2 64-bit on my Athlon 64 3500+ machine. When I do the factory updates, it kept failing with packages not being available - I'm guessing server overload. But, on the couple of occasions that it has successfully downloaded and installed everything, the "Software Aktualisierung" (Software Update in English?) window hangs at 99% "finishing". It got to 99% downloading just libzypp yesterday when I had to go out for a meeting. When I got back 5 hours later, it was still at 99%. Closing it seems to have no adverse effect. I had the same today with the full factory update, it installed everything, then just sat there for an hour or so at 99%. (Raised as #224955) David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Midnight Commander's (mc's) COPY command "crashes" RC1
by Basil Chupin 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

RC1 was upgraded last night (using smart) and I noticed that mc was one of the apps which got upgraded. Using mc, I went to copy a directory from the second HD (hdc), which is formatted with reiserfs, to my home directory on the first HD (hda), formatted with the now default ext3, and at the end of the "copying" process the computer was locked solid - no keyboard, no mouse - only way out was to reboot. After the reboot there was no sign of the copied directory - ie, nothing got copied but the process just locked up the system. To be sure that this was not a 'once off' occurrence I repeated this 2x more with same results. What I don't know is whether it is mc's F5 copy is doing this or whether the standard command cp will also do the same - I cannot test at the moment but I thought I would post this so that others may verify this lockup.

[opensuse-factory] kernel update results in boot failure
by Volker Kuhlmann 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

The RC1 test kernel update creates a grub menu config which has entries for both the old and the new kernel (good) but the old one is default at the top and the new one is further down (not good). The system fails to boot on the default entry (top of menu) because the old kernel has been deleted by the upgrade (very bad). Explicitly selecting the new kernel is fine (Phew ;) ). I can't believe I'm the first one to see this but don't find it searching for grub in RC1, though #223576 is somewhat similar. Wat nu? Bzip2 yast logs are 700k - is getting bugzilla clogged up with too much stuff a concern?
