[opensuse-factory] 10.2B2 first impression + bugs :)
by Volker Kuhlmann 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

Wow, that looks just ever so much better than 10.1!! Cool photo when booting the DVD. The package selection and the use of colour is really good. The "evaluation" bit when configuring the installation is superbly fast now. Minor: When clicking on "more info" to find out exactly what information will be transmitted to Novell for update-source configuration, the first message is "contacting server". A bit of a laugh, but not a good idea for boosting confidence in privacy. During package selection (as part of initial install) I de-selected zmd, zen-updater, and whatever the third one is in the same group. They still got installed and used though. Is this intentional? Did I do something wrong, is this a bug, or not yet implemented? Through work I had a lot to do with Debian recently, and there, multiple repository configuration is easy, dependency resolution a matter of seconds - beats the living daylights out of zmd. Sorry, but has to be said. No inst-sources are online yet, so can't test the yast tool(s) for sources config and repo handling. Major: Installation went smooth as, except for grub installation, which is as critically broken as it is in 10.1. Yast proposes /etc/grub.conf which grub --batch </etc/grub.conf barfs on (at least yast gives the option of retry!), and in some cases the generated /etc/grub.conf is syntactically incorrect (uses "/dev/md", omitting the digit). Will enter bug shortly.

[opensuse-factory] rw cd's liability
by jdd 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

I just want to warn others than RW cd's are really not liable. Actually I have some (handfull) of RW cd's I use for several years, now. However I use then quite few, no more than 10 or 20 writing each and now I have writing failures. It's easy to verify this using K3B verify feature, so use this... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] vmware on xen kernel

The "free" VMware-server-1.0.1-29996.i386.rpm bombs out on a 10.2B2 xen kernel: Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-4-xen/build/include/..

There is a use for it; applications which run under xen I don't want to use vmware for, and rebooting in between is, let's say, inconvenient.

I will > remove the obsoletion tags. Thank you. An issue I found with the earlier version was that the abort and ignore actions appear to be inverted. When I get a dependency problem reported from zypper, I would expect the ignore to still install the package (by ignoring the dependency issue). What I find is the ignore skips the offending package and the abort action does what I expected of ignore. (Maybe the has been addressed since the 0.5.2-2 version...) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
