Why I'm confused :-).

I've been doing this 10.1 test work just like a real user: In other words I never read any release notes or documentation :-). Meanwhile, there is all this highly confusing yast/rug/zypp/zen stuff going on changing everything about online updates out from under me. In the 10.0 incarnation I submitted bug 141063 which was closed saying all would be automatic in 10.1. Now with RC2, I finally see some automatic things happening. Configuring the online update does seem to find a mirror for me, but at this point I get really confused: The little updater icon turned orange with an !, so I figure that means there are updates. If I click on the icon, it does say there are updates, but if I goto yast's online update it says there aren't any. Also if I goto software management to install some things from online factory that aren't on the CDs, the things I'm looking for don't show up until I once again manually configure a factory installation source. So things look really confusing and inconsistent from out here in typical user land :-). P.S. I don't know where the zypp name came from, but you do realize it is setup to have people call it "zyppy the pinhead" don't you? :-).

bugzilla bugfix list
by jdd 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

is it a simple URL (we can setup on the wiki) that gives a list of all the bugs fixed for a given distribution (say 10.0 or 10.1 when it come stable) I mean only stable one (bugs fixed after inst-source freeze) - may be a http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-security-announce/ summary? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

going unmaintained
by jdd 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

I used 9.0 for a while. AFAIK when it become unmaintained, there where no way to know that from YOU. may be I missed something in the logs? it was vivible in the install package that the inst-source had moved, but not in you. I don't know if it's always the case. but anyway, there should be be a big red messages saying "this version is no more maintained from YOU", for the future distros thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

IP & DNS for net install
by jdd 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

I always wonder why, when you do a network install (using inst-source on the net) we are first prompted for DNS IP then for server IP. if you have all ip's, why the DNS? and if the DNS works, why not a server name? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

Where are Qt4 packages in SUSE Linux 10.1 RC2 ?
by Raul 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

I don't see the Qt4 packages for SUSE Linux 10.1. I see that Beta1 has Qt 4.1.0 : http://en.opensuse.org/Factory-News#Changes_from_Alpha4_to_Beta1 But i don't find it in 10.1 RC2 And also , the last version of Qt4 is 4.1.2 : http://www.trolltech.com/newsroom/announcements/00000250.html This version has a lot of bugfixes to get more stability , i think the final version of SUSE linux 10.1 should have Qt 4.1.2 packages.

zen updater in RC2
by Glenn Holmer 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

The zen updater showed available updates this morning (a whole slew of them, including libzypp and friends; I have factory and factory-extra subscribed), but the screen's been sitting at "Resolving dependencies" for almost an hour. I have to cancel on the laptop to go to work (maybe it will survive a lid close), but I will leave it running on the test machine at home just out of curiosity... Generally speaking, the new updater seems appallingly slow. Comments? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "I love virtuosity. I love danger." -Pierre Boulez, 2005

weird multi-boot problem
by Tom Horsley 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

This is a new one. I swear I've done this before with no problems since installing RC2, but now when I boot into RC2 and run normally for a while, then restart the system and boot into Fedora Core 5 instead, the FC5 initial fsck always reports a corrupted superblock on a big partition I have on my 2nd disk drive (always the same partition). If I shutdown all the way (power off), and restart from power up booting to FC5 I don't get any corrupt superblock messages (all partitions on this system are ext3). So it isn't really corrupt, it just looks that way when I soft restart. Don't know if the sata drivers on suse are leaving the disk in funny state or what.

configure versus setup?
by Tom Horsley 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

In RC2 I see the main yast screen now has an item labeled "Setup Online Update" and another labeled "Configure Online Update". Might I suggest changing the name of the appropriate one to "Setup Automatic Updates" or something like that? As it is, I can't tell why they would do different things from the (english) titles.
