Click here to configure Online Update
by Silviu Marin-Caea 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

10.0 had this very useful popup to teach newbies they need to Online Update. I don't see nothing of the sort in RC3. Can you bring it back, please? :-) Someone has observed that, in YaST Software "Online Update Configuration" is too much the same meaning as "Online Update Setup". The suggested action was to rename OUS to "Automatic Online Update". I vote for that too.

I guess there are others wich also would work with 3 CD install (I can say pt_BR for sure). The way it's informed, looks like only english and german would make it with 3 CDs, while it's possible to have other languages with the same set. -- % Mauricio Teixeira (netmask) % mteixeira{a}webset{d}net <> Maceio/AL/BR % http://mteixeira.webset.net <> http://pmping.sf.net

where is factory now?
by Peter Czanik 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Hello, Just my usual question: where is factory now? Is it already at RC3, or it needs yet another sync? I'm asking this, because I recompile Packman packages on PPC, and I want to do this now for RC3. The CD distribution lacks most of the development packages, so I need to use factory. Bye, Czp

Zen-Updater
by Andreas 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Today I thought I'd try the new update-feature with Zen-Updater, as the icon turned orange(ish) anyway a couple of days ago and I was hoping it might cure the problem I have with Yast & installing software. The list of updates was: - libzypp - libzypp-backend - rug - zmd The update stopped at 75%. Anyway, invoking "rpm -Uhv" on the packages revealed that dbus-1-mono, and subsequently dbus-1 version 0.60-28, are needed to resolve the dependencies, but the dbus-1-0.60-28.rpm is not on any of the factory mirrors. -- Andreas

Information on securing installation sources
by Joachim Werner 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Hi all, as promised some time ago, I have updated opensuse.org with information on how we are securing installation sources from SUSE Linux 10.1 on. There are some additions on http://www.opensuse.org/Installation_Sources and a new page at http://www.opensuse.org/Secure_Installation_Sources These pages will be updated as soon as I have more details on how you can generate your own secure sources. Cheers Joachim -- Joachim Werner <joe(a)suse.de> Project Manager Contracts, Migration, SDK Novell, Linux R&D Nuernberg

Firefox 1.5.0.2
by Silviu Marin-Caea 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

In RC2 Firefox is 1.5.0.1. This version has security bugs. Shouldn't it be updated to 1.5.0.2? I know about version freeze and all that. However the box should not go out with known security vulnerabilities for the sake of version freeze. And this is not a feature release, but a bugfix release.

RC1: xgl+compiz+nvidia-8756? all video players crash
by J Sloan 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Hello all, What is the secret of getting xgl desktop with working video? I saw the novell demos so I know it's gotta be possible. I have a Dell GX270 with nvidia card, and it ran suse 10 flawlessly. I did a clean install of 10.1-RC1 since I wanted to see the xgl stuff in action. I did everything as defined in the "Novell cool solutions" article*, and the rotating cube, transparency, and all the other compiz effects are running as advertised. Everything looks great. until I play a video. any video. Playing a realmedia file with realplayer, or an mpeg with xine or mplayer, gives the same result: the X server dies instantly the millisecond that I attempt to play the video. Is this a known issue? Surely I'm not the only one here who has tried to view a video on an xgl-enabled desktop? Hoping for some clue, Joe

network installation fails with 'install program exit code is 134'
by Kastus 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Hi, I tried network installation on 2 different machines and both failed with mysterious message "install program exit code is 134" The hardware is IBM ThinkPad T30 and T21. I first tried with boot CD from 10.1RC2 and then with boot.iso from the factory. I tried mirrors ftp.gwdg.de and mirrors.kernel.org. The result is consistent--exit code 134. It downloads root file system (70MB), mounts it, kicks off yast, I confirm license, then select new installation or update (T31 is clean, T21 has 10.1beta2 installed) and moment later it blows with 134 error. VT3 shows this: starting setctsid `showconsole` inst_setup yast install program exit code is 134 Am I doing something obviously wrong here or is it a bug in root image? Shall I report it to bugzilla? Thanks, -Kastus
