[opensuse-factory] Still no config options for zmd log?
by Anders Norrbring 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

I just looked over zmd in 10.2, but I still can't find a way to reconfigure the logging to zmd-messages.log. Obviously it rotates every day, but doesn't compress. Also, it continues to fill up with rotated logs, with no settings for how many rotations should be saved. Or is it just me, not finding the options? -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

[opensuse-factory] SUSE KInfoCenter
by Felix Miata 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

I thought I was imagining things. KInfoCenter is a 2 pane panel with various types of information selectable in the left pane that displays in the right pane. In various distros, those types take the form of applets that are separately selectable via the monitor section of the KDE system menu. My 10.0 is one that provides the separate applets. My upgrades of factory to RC3 or whatever is there now do not, providing only KInfoCenter in the monitor menu. I just went to upgrade another box from an earlier factory with the 2.6.18.2-31 kernel. In my recently used applications menu is the X-Server applet, which I can open as described, to the individual applet. However, in the system monitor menu is only the KInfoCenter option, not the individual applets, which means somewhere along the way in factory recently some configuration changed. Why did this happen? How or what can I reconfigure so that the KDE system monitor menu offers the individual applets instead of KInfoCenter? -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace."

You want to check /var/log/messages/ for various logs It crashed in a couple of other places as well - eg, trying to run glxgears crashed it - so what I did was recompile the nVidia driver and this fixed it. Weird. But that's computers :-) .

[opensuse-factory] Can't not install OpenOffice or Beagle
by Felix Miata 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

I installed from ftp mirror 3 times in past 2 days. Twice I tried to speed up the install by deselecting OpenOffice.org. The first time I tried that I searched for OpenOffice.org and deselected that and the other 3-4 selected that contained OpenOffice. After that failed, the next time I searched for office, and deselected every package that contained that word. That too resulted in OpenOffice.org being installed (7 packages total with OpenOffice_org in their names). How does one not install OpenOffice.org? Same with beagle. I searched for beagle and deselected everything containg that word, but still I have beagle and libbeagle installed. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace."

[opensuse-factory] xfs
by Felix Miata 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Running KDE, in YaST2 I see in services/runlevel, xfs is set by default to No. Why is xfs even installed any more if it isn't needed by default? -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace."

[opensuse-factory] Bug 223794
by Andras Mantia 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hi, I'm stressing this here as time is approaching quickly for GM, and I would like to have a 10.2 where my application[1] doesn't crash. ;-) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223794 It has a patch attached - suggested by the imagemagick developers - , but wasn't even commented by a suse guy yet. :-( Please review and if possible, include it. Andras [1] http://kallery.kdewebdev.org, but basically every Qt3 application using ImageMagick will crash if tries to draw something to the images. -- Quanta Plus developer - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org K Desktop Environment - http://www.kde.org

by Manfred Tremmel 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hello, I only want to thank you for the good work on openSUSE 10.2. I hadn't much time to test, so I've made my first installation with Beta2 and start then, rebuilding my Packman packages. All bugs I've found where allready reported in bugzilla and as far as I can see, are fixed in factory now (I've updated last night). Special thanks for - make eclipse running on the free java versions, so a complete free installation is possible for me, without proprietary software - make it possible to uninstall mono and depending packages completely -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Selecting Screensaver sends RC1 back to logon menu
by Basil Chupin 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

RC1 upgraded (with smart) with all the latest files as of 1 hour ago. Selecting Configure Desktop>Appearance & Themes>Screensaver terminates RC1 and sends it back to the logon menu (Name/Password). Same results with 4 attempts.

[opensuse-factory] can someone test VCD playing?
by Jens Herden 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hi, I reported a bug I found about playing VCD's: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221144 I am not able to play a VCD here. The same hardware had no problem with 10.1 There was no activity on this bug yet, probably because I did not make it critical. Before I go and change the severity I would like to ask you to test this if you have a VCD at hand.

[opensuse-factory] 10.2: OK, but some Bugs
by Oliver Tennert 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hello together, I have installed 10.2 RC1 on my system and the first I have to say: after 10.1, installing 10.2 is really a relief for an admin's nerves. Nearly everything has been running smoothly, apart from the usual problem that after the GRUB update, GRUB does not boot anymore, and I have to manually "cp /usr/lib/grub/*stage* /boot/grub ; grub --batch < /etc/grub.conf". Thanks for that. But still some things need to be fixed: 1.) OK, it would be nice if someone could acklowledge if there really is a GRUB update bug (see above) since God knows when, or if I am doing something wrong. 2.) xfsprogs really should be updated to 2.8.16, because there are severe bugs 2.8.11: some errors are not corrected by xfsrepair 2.8.11, so there are latent inconsistencies, which e.g. strike at you when you perform an xfsdump 3.) as I pointed out in an earlier mail wrt SUSE 10.1, rpc.idmapd should start AFTER nfsserver starts. Still this has not been corrected. Furthermore, there is a loop in the startup file headers: the nfsserver script has a "should start: idmapd" line, and the idmapd script has s "sould start: nfsserver" line. The former dependency should be removed.
