[opensuse-factory] 10.2: the GTK2 theme under KDE looks great
by Silviu Marin-Caea 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Buttons of the GTK2 applications under KDE are very smooth. And they fit well with the KDE theme. Very good solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Cannot mount volumes on desktop (HAL permission problem)
by Émeric Maschino 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Hi, I have several volumes displayed on my desktop. But when I'm trying to access one, I'm getting a dialog box saying: Cannot mount volume. Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy. Details say: hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000 This is on an Itanium workstation (IA-64 architecture) running up-to-date openSUSE Factory. Is this a (known) bug or are they corrective actions I can try? I don't know if it's related but I can see an error message at boot time about udevd not being able to lookup the disk group. Cheers, Émeric

[opensuse-factory] Package version problem
by Volker Kuhlmann 10 Dec '06

10 Dec '06

On a new 10.2GM system which was installed from DVD I ticked oss and non-oss as further installation sources sometime during the installation process (oss was already ticked). With a few exceptions, default KDE install. Now yast->software management shows a large number of installed packages which are newer than the version on DVD. The first only: rpm -q 3ddiag 3ddiag-0.738-29 DVD: find dvd-suse10.2_i386/ | grep 3ddiag dvd-suse10.2_i386/suse/i586/3ddiag-0.738-26.i586.rpm Recursive directory listing from gwdg.de: -rw-r--r-- 30817 2006/11/28 13:58:34 repo/oss/suse/i586/3ddiag-0.738-29.i586.rpm The repo version is newer for probably hundreds of packages. That's going to create some chaos. What's the point of installing from DVD when the installation then goes and downloads perhaps a 5th of the packages from the repo server? (The list of packages can be saved from yast, but it includes only the available version, not the installed version, so I can't grep to count). Would it be a good recommendation to make sure to untick the oss installation source when installing from any local source, like DVD/CD/ftp copy/etc?

[opensuse-factory] Hang Following Spurious Intel 965G Chipset Detection (more / new details)
by Randall R Schulz 10 Dec '06

10 Dec '06

Hi, Perhaps I should try sending this message here. It was originally posted on OpenSUSE(a)OpenSUSE.org. -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- During the first boot following the initial phase of installation (package selection and installation) start-up stalled immediately after printing these lines: -==- Starting udevd Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel 965G Chipset. -==- At this point, the system is for all purposes hung and intert. I cannot switch virtual terminal screens, e.g. Pressing CAPS LOCK key does not toggle the state of the keyboards caps-lock indicator. No keystrokes are echoed, either plain or control, including CTRL-C and CTRL-D. CTRL-ALT-DEL has no effect. I has been in this state for many hours now. This is an ASUS P5B and it has no on-board or on-chip graphics. Specifically, the board has an Intel P965, not a G965 chipset. I have an nVidia card installed. This did not happen with any of the pre-release versions of 10.2 from alpha5 through RC1. What went wrong and how to I solve it?

[opensuse-factory] Exporting XHTML from OpenOffice went south with 10.2
by Vahis 10 Dec '06

10 Dec '06

I have a spreadsheet that I keep updating and exporting to xhtml format. This has been all well with 10.0 and 10.1. Now with 10.2 OO exports, overwrites the file when told to, but the contents is just crap. Fortunately the ods-file is OK still after saving in 10.2, so it can be opened in 10.0 and exported. Then it's OK again. Since I've never used any other Linux versions of OpenOffice than Suse, I don't really know whether this is Novell OO related or OO related in general. What should I do with it? A bug? -- Vahis Motorcycling, Boating and openSUSE: http://waxborg.servepics.com "Why wait any longer for the world to begin? You can have your cake and eat it, too."

[opensuse-factory] rt73usb module to be blacklisted
by Frank-Michael Fischer 10 Dec '06

10 Dec '06

After very successful 10.2 GM installations (I consider it the best available distribution around right now) I had to learn that the included rt73usb module should better be blacklisted: 1. Firmware is not included anyway and there is no warning it's not there when loading the module. 2. This module is highly instable and brings the adapter to virtual standstills on various machines (and various distros), only way out then: replug the adapter. Only good news: it doesn't bring down the whole system. 3. During uptimes the performance bounces between 1/3 and 1/10 of the net speed one gets when either booting the same machine into Windows or into any ndiswrapper configuration. I understand that for situations where one needs to shuffle a few MBs occasionally via WLAN, rt73usb might be sufficient. But in non-toy situations?

[opensuse-factory] USB drive connection went south with 10.2
by Vahis 10 Dec '06

10 Dec '06

I have a 250 GB USB drive that works just fine in 10.0. I have two machines where the following can be reproduced: When booted to 10.2 the power indicator led on the disk enclosure is lit, the USB drive starts to spin, the disk activity led blinks. Then the power indicator led on the disk enclosure blinks once (off and on again) real briefly and everything starts all over again and again. Off course the heads of the disk click while this is happening so you don't want that to repeat many times. This can be done in two machines, one being USB 2 the other is USB 1(.1?) only. When booted to 10.0 everything works in both machines. Normally I connect the drive, it appears as /dev/sda1 and mount it manually to a directory. What should I look for in these machines? Where is the crucial info about this and what is it, to be able to file a possible bug? -- Vahis Motorcycling, Boating and openSUSE: http://waxborg.servepics.com "Why wait any longer for the world to begin?

[opensuse-factory] Mouse instability again!
by Keith Goggin 09 Dec '06

09 Dec '06

Hi, Just installed openSUSE10.2 GM from the i386 DVD and the mouse became unstable during the Hardware configuration stage (Graphics Card & Monitor). I rebooted and continued the install without configuring the monitor (accepted the default resolution) and the install completed OK. This appears to be a regression problem as it was not present in RC1 but was in earlier alpha/betas. Note the problem is not in the installed system only in the installation program.
