[RC2] Can't write to fat32 filesystem with "default" rights
by James PEARSON 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hello all I installed RC2 on to my laptop where WinXP is already installed on the first partition. During the installation I created another partition as FAT32 (mounted as "/windows/D") on my laptop so that I could share files between the two OSs. My problem is that I can't access (r,w) the "/windows/D" partition under RC2 because when you create a partition as fat32 during the installation, RC2 doesn't "by default" grant r,w rights to the fat32 filesystem. This, in my opinion, is a mistake. Below is what I want and what I get. # Want /dev/hda10 /windows/D vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0 # Got /dev/hda10 /windows/D vfat defaults 0 0 Please note that I had the same problem under RC1. Please correct this before the final release. TIA James

RC2 update fails
by Glenn Holmer 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

Just installed RC2 from delta'd ISOs, and on second boot the SUSEwatcher replacement has a red bang, so I click and select "Update" in the dialog for item "kernel"... and get another dialog with an angry red X and "Dependency Resolution Failed", with message "Resolver failed". I thought this stuff was fixed? How to diagnose for filing an issue? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "I love virtuosity. I love danger." -Pierre Boulez, 2005

stuck in vmware (solution)
by jdd 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

the RC2 install in vmware (minimal text install) stuck just before asking for the name of the ordinary user. suspending the system (vmware command) and retriving it solved the problem (probably a vmware one) just for notice 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

short memory install
by jdd 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

On my 512Mb ram system, the vmware I use to test RC is by default 160Mb ram. I tryed righ now to download the boot.iso and install from scratch. I fisrt got an "install error" a,d returns to the install screen (no crash) - of course ncurse ui with that memory. but then I was prompted for a swap disk and I could not provide it, given the disk is brand new unformatted (remember:vmware). so I beg this kind of install need at least 256Mb, I'll try this. may be the memory minimum should be advertised (may be it's and I didn't see :-) 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

RC1 xgl/compiz cube inside out
by J Sloan 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

Kudos to the team for the incredible progress from the time of the late betas to RC1 - I've loaded RC1 onto my laptop and am quite pleased with it. I decided to play around with the Xgl stuff. I followed the directions, or so I thought, and I have some very cool effects going on now, but the the desktops all appear on the *inside* of the cube - very odd. Is there some setting I've accidentally tweaked? Where would I change that? Joe

ALSA sound disappeared
by Martin Soltau 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

Hi all, I have an issue with RC1 (I know, RC2 is ot now, but maybe the problem remains): I have a Soundblaster live 24 which uses driver CA0106. After installation it worked quite well for almost a week. 3 days ago the system booted without any sound. I tried: alsamixer: front analog is on 88% alsaconf: worked well, found the card, played the test sound -> but I couldn't hear it. silence. /etc/init.d/alsasound restart (and stop and start...) got "...done" but no sound... dmesg: nothing regarding ALSA modprobe snd-ca0106: nothing Any hints? Regards, Martin P.S.: YES, speakers are on P.P.S.: YES, when I boot into windows sound is perfectly there.

Is there some way of checking if the iso's I made are correct in size and so on before I start and try to install them? e.g. CD2 is 377M in size. Now that could be correct, or something could have gone wrong. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
