[opensuse-factory] YaST question
by Andras Mantia 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi, Does YaST (sw_single) always download - on every run - the information from repodata if refresh is set to On for the respository or there is a check to see if it was really changed or not (using timestamp or filesize)? I'm have a feeling that it always downloads, but I might be wrong and packman is the one changing all the time.

[opensuse-factory] speed impression on firefox 2
by Dominique Leuenberger 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Hi everybody, I have upgraded to Beta 1 of openSUSE 10.2 last week. Since then, I feel Firefox (which also got upgraded to 2.0 now) much slower than 1.5 was before. For example, when entering an URL then hitting <enter>, for a while nothing happens (not even the status bar changes from stopped or something). In general, I would say the surfing experiance got much worse. I also have FF on my win installation in the office and wouldn't say it degraded somehow. (or not as much experianced). Does anybody else have this experiance with FF2? Dominique

[opensuse-factory] How to do an in-house top-level build of OpenSUSE?
by Mark E Mason 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Hello, I'm strongly considering attempting a build of OpenSUSE for an architecture it does not support yet. I have other Linuxes such as Debian and Gentoo running on this hardware, but not OpenSUSE. There was a similar thread last month regarding SPARC. There's the usual bootstrapping issues to work through (I think I can handle those) - but, where should I look for the scripts/programs to drive the top-level configure and build of a distribution? I've found the BuildServer under svn - but it's not clear to me if that's the right tool for this, or if it's overkill or ??? (or if it contains the distribution configuration info). Any thoughts or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mark

[opensuse-factory] DVD/CD writer problems with openSuse 10.2 beta 1
by Viljo Mustonen 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

I have Compaq Evo W4000 workstation with LG GSA-4167B DVD-writer as master and LITEON LTR-40125S CD-writer as slave at secondary IDE bus. Both devices works well with openSuse 10.1 and W2k. Boot time is about 1 minute. With openSuse 10.2 beta 1 here is problems. LITEON does not work. LG mostly reads but not writes properly,auto mount often does not work.Boot time to login screen is very long, between 2 minutes 40 seconds and nearly 5 minutes. Boot.msg:s typically contains lines: <6>scsi1 : ata_piix <6>ata2.00: ATAPI, max UDMA/33 <6>ata2.01: ATAPI, max UDMA/33 <6>ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 <4>ata2.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) <3>ata2.01: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) <4>ata2.01: limiting speed to UDMA/25 <4>ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs <6>ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 <4>ata2.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) <3>ata2.01: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) <4>ata2.01: limiting speed to PIO0 <4>ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs <6>ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 <4>ata2.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) <3>ata2.01: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) <4>ata2.01: disabled <4>ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs <3>ata2.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40) <4>ata2.00: limiting speed to UDMA/25 <4>ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs <6>ata2.00: configured for UDMA/25 Often three times more same kinds of lines. -- Viljo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Beta1 install report
by Andras Mantia 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Hi, I just updated my 10.1 system to 10.2 Beta1 to finally test the upcoming SUSE and in hope to find bugs and make the final release as good as possible. ;-) I used a way for upgrade that is for sure not well tested, namely System Update from YaST with the downloaded CD ISO images that were not copied to the hard disk, but were sitting on a DVD. This is all due to lack of disk space (but I ordered a new HDD today :-)). Good enough, the installation went quite OK, aside of two issues, one because of my system (not enough hard disk space, so some packages were not upgraded, altough I'm sure that the space would be enough if I would uses --force for rpm), the other one was a more serious problem: 2006-10-30 20:46:56 <5> stein(5536) [base] Exception.cc(log):94 RpmDb.cc(doInstallPackage):2002 THROW: RpmDb.cc(doInstallPackage):2002: Subprocess faile d. Error: RPM failed: Updating etc/sysconfig/displaymanager... 2006-10-30 20:46:56 <5> stein(5536) [base] Exception.cc(log):94 2006-10-30 20:46:56 <5> stein(5536) [base] Exception.cc(log):94 ERROR: SuSEconfig or requested SuSEconfig module not present! 2006-10-30 20:46:56 <5> stein(5536) [base] Exception.cc(log):94 2006-10-30 20:46:56 <5> stein(5536) [base] Exception.cc(log):94 error: %postun(xgl-cvs_060522-0.13.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Does it worth a bug report or is it known? So far so good, I rebooted, modified the fstab due to the fact that the IDE port on Promise chip is still not supported (reported since 10.0, waiting for the patch to hit the upstream kernel). After the second reboot, everything looked fine until I started to write this mail. The KMail composer here is completely broken, and I know it's not a KMail bug as I used a self compiled SVN version from 3.5.5 branch even before on 10.1. The problems are: 1) text because invisible in the Subject line after the first space 2) spaces are not shown and cursor jumps erratic from one place to another, making input impossible. I found that I had set Microsoft Sans Serif as the composer font and switching to another one (even other MS fonts) is fine. Did something went wrong with font cache generation? I can file a report for this as well, but I'm not sure it is a general problem. Congratulation for now, and I'm going out to hunt for the -devel packages not on the 5 CDs... ;-) Andras -- Quanta Plus developer - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org K Desktop Environment - http://www.kde.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] X.org 7.2-1.2 in Beta1?
by Jens Nixdorf 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hi all, just installed Beta 1 onto my Notebook and almost everything was working fine except X.org. My notebook runs a ATI X 1600 Mobility and while this chip isnt supported by X.org itself (radeon does work only up to X850, none of the X1x00-Chips are supported) Sax2 chooses VESA Framebuffer for it. I dont have to tell you that the framebuffer is very slow, it looks also very ugly, because the notebook has a native resolution of 1280x800, which is not usable with the framebuffer. So i wanted to install the proprietary ATI-driver 8.29.6, which even can make a package for SUSE 10.2. But from the console Sax2 cannot start with sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx, because the fglrx-driver is detecting a X.org-Version 7.2-1.2 instead of a 7.1.99. I found this in the SaX.log: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so (II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc." compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.29.6 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.0 [atiddxSetup] X version mismatch - detected X.org 7.2.-1.2, required X.org 7.1.0.0 (II) UnloadModule: "fglrx" (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module requirement mismatch, 0) At any other place in this and other logs X.org is stated as Version 7.1.99, where is this 7.2-1.2 from? And what can i do to have the right resolution (with or without the fglrx-driver)?
