[opensuse-factory] new makeSUSEdvd version to be tested
by houghi 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

Hello Y'all. I sure hope that the gmane stuff will be working 100% soon. Due to the changes in patterns and another tool I will talk about below, I have a new version of makeSUSEdvd to be tested. It is available at http://houghi.org/Fun/makeSUSEdvd.gz First I must thank David Bolt for his time and effort. The main changes are that now both Packman and Guru are added as an option to be added. This will make installation later of certain software easier. I am unsure if I should add those as OPTIONALURLS or as EXTRAURLS. Any feedback on this is welcome The second main change is more technical and was available in versions for 10.1 as well. It will add the pattern 'Personal' to the installation, so that if you use e.g. `makeSUSEdvd -a /usr/src/packages/RPMS` these will be added. Obviously it is easier to just download the DVD. However sometimes you might want to add programs that are not included and still have it all on one CD. If you want to distribute SUSE based DVDs as descibed on http://en.opensuse.org/Making_a_SUSE_based_distribution you can now also remove Novell and SUSE branding with rembrand: http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/jnweiger/SUSE_Factory/repodata/ (latest version now is 1.1b-7.1) That tool removes all branding, like wallpapers, backgrounds and so on. So if you want to make your own branded DVD that includes e.g. your schools logo and some extra software for your school, you do the following: 1) makeSUSEdvd -i -a /usr/src/packages/RPMS This can be done with CD1-3, CD1-5, CD1-6 or the DVD. It will put a temporary data in /tmp/CD_DIR and add all the RPMs in the (sub-)directories of /usr/src/packages/RPMS 2) run rpm-rembrand on the rpm files in /tmp/CD_DIR with e.g. find and see that all the files are save in e.g. ~/files. 3) Edit all the files in ~/files as you please or leave them blank or whatever 4) run rpm-rembrand and see that the newly made RPMs end up overwriting the files in /tmp/CD_DIR 5) Edit anything else that you need to edit in /tmp/CD_DIR according to http://en.opensuse.org/Making_a_SUSE_based_distribution 6) run `makeSUSEdvd -C` to make the ISO 7) burn and install 8) have fun. I have net yet tested step 3, so all I had were some white icons and wallpapers. There is a ticket open for this: 225146 So please give some feedback on the new makeSUSEdvd, both testing and wether Packman an/or Guru should be default or optional. If you want a DVD that just adds the Packman and Guru URLs, just run makeSUSEdvd over the downloaded DVD you have. Some testing and feedback on rembrand would also be apriciated. Files that were missed or any other ideas would be nice. I think it is awesome that Novell makes this possible. houghi -- "Why was I born with such contemporaries?" -- Oscar Wilde --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

The problem was not the kernel or initrc.. But than it entered the commandline install instead of the graphic one, (this might also be something else, because from CD, it also told me to less space for graphic install, So i must have hit the 'too less room' bug) and it did not find the install files, what ever i entered at the commandline would be wrong..(so i must test this option again without the TLR bug...) After 10 or 11 entrances, i gave up, bought new CD's, and burned them, after downloading the files on another PC, because that has the burner, and the network was not up.... But a day later i installed from CD's again... I would realy love to get that option right, saves time, effort and money. Besides that, it is cool to have the files on HDD, so these can be used instead of allways put the CD or DVD in the drive.. YaST-utils is allready standard part of the install... Pointing to the iso via YaST, does not realy work.. Things could be improved here also i guess... -- Have a nice day, M9. it is allways now..(the only time to change) OS: Linux 2.6.18.2-33-default x86_64 Huidige gebruiker: monkey9@tribal-sfn2 Systeem: openSUSE 10.2 (X86-64) KDE: 3.5.5 "release 45" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Kontact- Calendar-import
by Peter Buschbacher 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

When I trie to import std.ics from my suse10.0 with kde3.5.5 all events are shown one hour later in opensuse 10.2. Does this have something to do with the change to European "Wintertime"? Both 10.0 and 10.2 use local time, the clock shows the right time, and is updatet by ntp. Is there a configuration option or anything else I can do to correct this. I did not find a bug that seems to relate with this, can anybody confirm this behaviour? By the way, I´ve got most of my all Day apps configured nearly to the state of my standard system, including multimedia from additional sources, and the overall impression I got is quite good. I just stumbled over some cosmetic things like translations of the Dialogs, where Buttons don´t have exactly the same name as help-texts e.g. in some yast-modules. I´m really looking forward to 10.2. Thanks guys Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] GFS @ 2.6.19
by Hans Witvliet 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

Hi, Perhaps i'm just too eager... latest release notes of the 2.6.19 kernel indicated official support for GFS (which looks promissing). Unfortunately, the official kernel was released much too late to be used in 10.2. Seeing the truckload of patches in the releas-notes of 2.6.19 (3.6MB) and the version in factory (kernel-source-v2.6.19_rc3-16.6.src.rpm ) it's not clear what made it, and what is still pending. I wonder when i can experiment with it.. (kernel-patch) It's been a longe time, that i was persueing latest kernels, but this seems to be worthwhile, imho.

[opensuse-factory] Partitioner..
by Robby (M9.) 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 How to change the size of a partition, fi /home? Partitions can only resized if not mounted... @volker: we seem to be part of the competition, since we are sold, but that doesn't matter.. The partitioners we have are inferior, you have to admit that. In this time, it is possible, to graphicly resize, move, delete or create partitions, and the real changes are made in between shut down and start-up. Why shouldn't this be possible for linux? Why should we, in this time, stil calculate, by hand, for half an hour, or an hour, to get it right, with all the risks to loose the data you do not want to loose?

[opensuse-factory] ethereal ???
by Volker Kuhlmann 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

Where is ethereal on 10.2???? Not on the RC1 DVD, not in gwdg SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/. What happened? Slight oversight? The openmotif-devel isn't on the DVD, but is in factory inst-source. Is that intentional?

[opensuse-factory] update to RC1 with add on source fails
by Carlos E. R. 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have an 10.1 test partition that I intended to dedicate to testing the update to 10.2 RC1, but it failed. As add on source, I enter: <ftp://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/> I get the error (hand copied): <Unknown source type xxx ftp://ftp.opensuse.org/%2fpub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-sou…> I select retry, get a different bigger dialog box (the one that allows for login/pass/anonymous), choose http this time, and I get almost the same error, less the %2f: <Unknown source type xxx ftp://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/> I switch to a text console, and I try "ping ftp.opensuse.org", getting "unknown host...". I then type "ifconfig", and I see that only the "lo" network interface is active. How come? How can I add an add on URL source, if the network has not being activated yet, and I see nowhere where I can activate it? (The 10.1 install,, that I had run previously to create a new test partition with this update test in mind, had detected the network fine: dns, connectivity test, et all) I was told here that this type of add on source was working, last october, by Andreas Hanke (<http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2006-10/msg00355.html>). Also, Andreas Jaeger says it is possible, but in a way I do not understand how to do: <http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2006-10/msg00334.html> - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFFbzBdtTMYHG2NR9URAu7zAJ4+t1M3B0pY7WEZrpNX9UzUC9kzGACgiZIK LuoaTsdQuU2a7N0RlbDu3oA= =+mnD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Since upgrading to the latest kernel, 2.6.18.2-33 I can no longer run my CXO programs I.E. Quicken. I get the following error when launching the program: wine: failed to initialize: /opt/cxoffice/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory Is this something being caused by the latest kernel update?
