-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I am very glad to say, that the lock-up from the YaST2-modules, caused by a power faillure in the middle of a major update yesterday, is repaired by the automatic repair option in the installer. (220v~AC inverter crashed, so total loss of 220v~AC.) I thought some of you would like to hear this. After the repair, i could contimue the update without any problem.. :-)) M9. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFbT8PX5/X5X6LpDgRAv8SAJ0WU9oHBjz5ZrnU6tFdMq4Je9l79QCgkzl7 m9RdoY1mewkuqSstS2zF9nM= =cZpu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-factory] GRUB error - can anyone help please?

I just stumbled onto a clue why my problem may have occurred, but don't know what to make of or do about it. I just grabbed the newest default kernel rpm via ftp and ran rpm -ivh on it. After mkinitrd's bootsplash output came these two lines: ERROR: Core::SplidDevPath: Cannot get device for (hd0,20)/boot/grub/stage1 ERROR: Core::SplidDevPath: Cannot get device for (hd0,20)/boot/grub/stage2 The error is understandable, as when initially installed factory was on hda21. Now hda21 no longer exists. I moved factory to hda10 over a week ago. What triggered the errors? What is remembering the original installation target? Reboot with the new 2.6.18.2-31-default kernel seemed totally normal. -- "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven." Matthew 5:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] Zope oddities
by suse.to.anomalyst＠xoxy.net 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

a) Zope3 does not appear in the packages for x86_64 Hopefully this is just a package tweak b) The last line of the Zope2 description "If you want to use MySQL with Zope install zope-mysql." The zope-mysql hyperlink brings up an empty 'Package Description" window. An explicit search for "zope-mysql" returns "No Result". ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk? Check out Yahoo!

[opensuse-factory] Random hangup
by Richard Bos 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

While using konqueror on suse10.2rc1 and attempting to login to a website, the system just hung! I have the same phenomenon on suse10.1 and hoped that this would not happen anymore on suse10.2. It is actually on 2 different systems. It's very annoying that these hangups happen. I have no debug data, so it is hard to so what is causing this. Perhaps others encounter the sam behaviour? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] congratulations...
by jdd 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

I want to congratulate the openSUSE 10.2 developpers, because I'm on the way of installing the RC1 on a very low end machine http://fr.opensuse.org/Utilisateur:Jdd/alb/La_Mouette on this computer I could install 10.0 but not 10.1. The install, there, stopped at the partitionning part. This one is critical because no swap can be used when partitionning a hard drive :-) today, I didn't repartitioned the computer, but reformat a partition with ext3 and all went well, quite fast and the minimal install is going and sheduled to run a little more than one hour, what is quite good on such hardware I will have to use cd 2 and 3, but probably because i'm french of course, I had to trick the install - cd don't boot, so first copy linux and initrd (this is a really wonderfull trick) on the HD, textmode=1 on the grub kernel line... I want to enphasize on this because we have now a lot of outdated computer that are in perfect condition nearly for free. In France, a lot of people don't have money to run new hardware and we are many to fear the social gap between people with internet access and people without. In the whole world, much more people are in the same situation. So having a recent system able to run on such kind of hardware is a real gift (don't even think running Vista on this). and don't forget that those people may rule the world in few years... let alone by they number. thanks again for me and all of them 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] Keyboard very strange
by Hugo Costelha 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

I am kind of lost here. I was trying to switch from from KDE to the console 1, using Ctrl+Alt+F1, but instead of switching as usual, it typed characters!!! Then I opened YAST->SAX and I saw that I could not configure my keyboard (see image attached). I am also sending attached my xorg.conf. Does my 1st problem relate to the 2nd? Any ideas about this? It had never happened to me befor. Hugo

[opensuse-factory] Massive Feature Request of new Yast Modules for 10.3
by Alexey Eremenko 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hi all ! As 10.2 release nears I think into future - 10.3 features - and I would like to request massive updates in Yast - that is - new modules that I would like to see: 1. Swap Manager (Yast GUI to manage swap files & partitions) 2. FTP Server (Yast GUI to manage vsFTPd) 3. SSH Server (Yast GUI to manage openssh) 4. NX Server (Yast GUI to manage FreeNX terminal server, based on ssh) 5. Sax3D (Yast/Sax GUI to manage XGL/AIGLX & Compiz for 3D Desktop Effects) Those modules are really *very* needed by the SUSE community. Unfortunately I don't know YCP to program those modules myself, so I ask those, who can do it. The documentation I found is very scarse & poor, disallowing me to write anything useful - anything beyond "Hello World" in YCP. I would like you to recall that Yast has no been updated since SUSE 9.x times (except maybe AppArmor) and people saw no new modules since then. I think it is time to revise what we have. What do you think ? -Big thanks in advance -Alexey Eremenko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] ntp error
by Felix Miata 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

My clock is more than 2 minutes slow. Services shows ntpd running. I don't see anything in /var/log/* to indicate any problem with ntpd. What should I do to fix the clock?
