[opensuse-factory] New openSUSE WIKI Document: YaST Remote Logging in Installation
by Lukas Ocilka 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Hi, I've just finished a new document about YaST Remote Logging in Installation. It uses another computer with a configured NFS server to store installation logs on it to simplify getting YaST logs, for debugging falling installation (e.g., SEGFAULTs) and/or to minimize memory requirements during the installation. Please, test it and/or make it better :) Thanks -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic

[opensuse-factory] RC1 installation
by Christian Boltz 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Hello, I updated beta2 to RC1 yesterday. Installation sources: Factory tree and inst-source-extra from yesterday, which should be newer than RC1. Things I noted: - grub is not installed - my system still boots the grub which was installed by 10.1 (still living on another partition) relevant partitions: /dev/hda7: 10.2 RC1; /dev/hda5: 10.1 final /etc/grub.conf: install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,4)/boot/grub/menu.lst install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,6) (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,6)/boot/grub/menu.lst quit Hmm, maybe I missed something when cloning hda5 to hda7... -> Worth a bugreport? - no online updates available (already mentioned in another thread) - some other bugs which were fixed some days ago (like #222728, #220273, #222478) did not hit Factory yet (aka "yesterday", gwdg mirror). -> How up to date is Factory currently? The good news: I could verify several bugs as fixed :-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Comic Sans Man möge mir verzeihen, aber ich möchte mich im Rahmen dieses Essays in erster Linie mit Schriften auseinandersetzen, nicht mit Krankheiten.

I searched for it in YaST and this is why I didn't found it. Thanks, Andras -- Quanta Plus developer - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org K Desktop Environment - http://www.kde.org

[opensuse-factory] RFC: Directory structure for ftp tree of openSUSE 10.2
by Andreas Jaeger 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

I've thought a bit about how to structure - and name - the directories for openSUSE 10.2 and like to get your feedback and suggestions for improvement. Goals ===== My goals with the restructuring are: * Clear naming - no misunderstandings * Smaller repositories for faster metadata download * structure should be usable for 10.3 Alphas und final again Separate trees ============== We have several ftp trees (for 10.1: OSS and Non-OSS) and I propose to make smaller repositories for faster download of metadata: * OSS (factory) * NON-OSS (factory-extra) * Debug (factory-debug) * Sources for OSS * Sources for NON-OSS Naming ====== * let's use "repository" instead of catalog, inst-source etc. FTP Structure ============= ".../distribution/openSUSE-10.2" has the following subdirectories: * isos * repositories "isos" directory has the following subdirectories: * dvd - the DVD5 * deltas * non-oss * oss * torrents "repositories" sdirectory has the following subdirectories: * debug * non-oss * oss * source-non-oss - just sources * source-oss - just sources Does this make sense? Do you have better ideas?

[opensuse-factory] Dummy Updates for Yast YOU
by Keith Goggin 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Hi, 1. I've added <http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/suse/update/10.2/> to opensuseupdater in both 10.2b2 and 10.2RC1. In 10.2b2 opensuseupdater shows 7 patches available. In 10.2RC1 opensuseupdater shows none? 2. What happened to the dummy update I asked for back in September? 3. So far I've not seen any suggestion of how we might test Yast YOU / opensuseupdater / Zen. Bearing in mind that "system updating" was the single biggest failure in SUSE10.1, I am more than a little puzzled that nothing seems to have been done. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 10.2 RC1 YaST2 Online-Update Error and Zen updates
by Terje J. Hanssen 26 Nov '06

26 Nov '06

Running a 10.2RC1 YaST2 Online-Update, I'm wondering what this error message mean and what the reason is: Initializing online-updates Updating sources ..... No access to Installation medium SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates CD1 Verify that the server is available Address ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2 Curl error for: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/repodata/repomd.xml: Error code: Unrecognized error Error message: FTP response reading failed Doing a testing with the browser, I had no problem to connect to ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2 Well, I selected OK, and this time the online update process continued without more Error. There wasn't however currently any online updates available. At the same time the orange Zen ikon reports there are 559 software updates available!? Therefore I wonder. What are the difference between the type of updates that does come with YaST2 online updates and those updates that come through Zen? Terje J.

[opensuse-factory] Re: Factory source for Internet installation
by Terje J. Hanssen 26 Nov '06

26 Nov '06

I've downloaded and installed the CD isos for 10.2 RC1, both OSS and non-OSS. However there are some packages I need and that I don't find afterwards with YaST>Programs>Add-Remove software. These single rpms are however found in the factory links, but which have to be downloaded and installed manually from a terminal: http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-sourc… http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-Factory-non-oss/inst-s… Why isn't these sources added automatically to YaST at the 10.2 RC1 installation? I've tried to add them as Yast HTTP Installation sources, but without succeed so far (errors like a server name is needed or url path). Therefor, what is the correct parts to be added as respective server name? url path? Thanks, Terje J.
