Acrobat Reader Bug in RC1?
by malzfreund＠googlemail.com 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Hi there, I am new to the list & Linux so I wanted to ask you a question before filing a bug report. Under RC1 (i586), it takes roughly 80 seconds to load Acrobat Reader on my Dell Latitude D600 (just the application, without opening any pdf). This is roughly four times as long as it took under SUSE Linux 10.0. My question is: is it appropriate to file a bug report about this, given that Acrobat is just an add-on product? Thanks, Joachim Goeschel

RC1, makeSUSEdvd, or my bad luck?
by Tom Horsley 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

Just installed 10.1 RC1 from DVDs I made with latest and greatest makeSUSEdvd and create_package_descr, and now I see these package signing problems: If I run online update in yast, I always get a popup about this every time: The GnuPG key 'A84EDAE89C800ACA (SuSE Package Signing Key <build(a)suse.de>)' has been found. If I say import, or don't import, I still get the popup each time. On the other hand, if I run "Installation Source" from yast, I get this different signature popup every time: File /var/lib/zypp/cache/0/DATA/content is signed with GnuPG key 'A84EDAE89C800ACA (SuSE Package Signing Key <build(a)suse.de>)' but the integrity check failed. yadda, yadda, yadda... Install it anyway? Answering yes or no to this makes no difference, I get the same question again next time. I did go through the list of package groups and check just about everything when I installed. Perhaps some package is incorrectly signed in the RC1 media? Perhaps my disk had a boo-boo on that file? Just wondering if anyone else has seen the problem.

With download.opensuse.org active and running nicely, I wonder if it would be possible to have inst-source added by default as Software Source Media. Naturaly not active by default. That way people only need to activate it and don't need to look for the URL. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

Registration does not work(?)
by Andreas Vetter 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

Hi, I installed 4 machines with RC1 and none of them gets through the SUSE Register part of installation. I always get an error. It does not matter if i586 or x86_64 machines. Is somebody having the same problem? All 4 machines are installed from NFS, get their network config for the first part of installation from DHCP and are then set to static IP (same IP as from DHCP) after the first reboot and before the registration. If nobody has this problem I'll file a bug. -- Andreas Vetter

extra packages
by Glenn Holmer 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

I got the RC1 ISOs and the BiArch Add-on ISO, then used rug to add factory as a service, so now I can see where to get Postgres, Tomcat, and all the other goodies I need. What will be the proper way to do this when the final release is out? I understand factory to be bleeding-edge releases that are in a constant state of flux; suppose you download SUSE a few months after release and want to add those packages? Is there a place where they will be available as they were at release time? Don't get me wrong, I'll be buying the commercial release as I have every time since 5.3, but I'm sure the question will come up in our local users group. -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "I love virtuosity.

RC1, Wireless connections, Madiwifi & Network Manager
by James PEARSON 16 Apr '06

16 Apr '06

Hello all I downloaded and installed the latest Madiwifi drivers in order to see if my Netgear WG511T (Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)) card would work on a fresh install of RC1. (In case anyone is interested my computer is a Thinkpad T40). Being used to seting up my wireless network connection using the "Traditonal Method with ifup" on SUSE 10, I gave that a shot first. The bad news is that I had problems to get a wireless connection to work 'on boot'. I did manage to transfert 700 MEG file at 2.6-3.1 Megs/sec if I configured it from the command line (using something like "iwconfig ath0 essid XXXX; ifconfig ath0 up") but I never did get a wireless connect to work 'on boot'. Note: If anyone has managed to get a wireless network connection using the "Traditonal Method with ifup" work automatically on startup please let me know. The good (great?) news is that when I opted for the "User controlled with Network Manager" option (under Network Card/Network Setup Method) is that my Netgear WG511T wireless card worked right off the bat (as well as 'on boot'). What I found even more interesting is that, if I also configured my "Ethernet controller" connection (e.g. both my "Netgear AR5212 802.11abg NIC" and my "Ethernet Controller" where setup and configured as DHCP) I could use one or the other automatically. If both the ethernet cable and wireless card were both plugged in, Network manager would automatically use the ethernet cable connection. If however, I unplugged the ethernet cable, "Network manager" would automatically connect to Internet via the Atheros wireless card - 3 or 4 seconds later. Final thoughts. I just thought I would mention (that despite the fact that I dislike "more technology") that the "Network manager" is all and all pretty cool :) All comments, thoughts and wireless experiences welcomed. Regards James

Monitor standby with ATI / Firefox hangs?
by Martin Soltau 15 Apr '06

15 Apr '06

Hi together, with my SUSE 10.1 fresh install i encounter two problems aof which I am not sure, whether they belong here.... I'll try: - With the default radeon driver the monitor goes (after some minutes of inactivity): - blank, then after a couple more minutes - standby and finally - off. With driver fglrx active, the monitor goes: - blank, and then - on again. And it stays like this from then on. Is this a known issue? Is this new with SUSE 10.1? Or is this an ATI issue? - When I start Firefox, it hangs after some 5 - 10 minutes regardless of which site I'm viewing. I have to kill the process. The next instance runs without problems for as long as I want. Should I place this with the firefox people, or may this be a SUSE 10.1 issue? Kind regards, Martin

No sound on my Thinkpad using RC1
by James PEARSON 15 Apr '06

15 Apr '06

Hello all I installed OPENSUSE RC1 on my ThinkPad T40 and I'm can't get my sound card to work. During the installation (a fresh install) all hardware was detected properly and configured OK (see Note 1). I opened up KMix and made sure that all the Output and Input setings were at 67% or better, but still I have no sound. - If I insert an audio CD, nothing happens (normally the "Audio CD - Kde demon" should kick in. - If I run Amarok I can't get Amarok to play my favourite Internet stations - If I run Xine and/or Kaffeine, they can play my favourite movies or tracks - but without any sound. All of the above worked before on this computer (under SUSE 10) Any pointers on geting my sound card to work OK would be appreciated.

Problems with acpi, cpufreq and Atheros wifi with RC1 on a ThinkPad T42
by Klaus Heinrich Kiwi 15 Apr '06

15 Apr '06

Having problems with ACPI and ath_pci.ko modules on openSUSE 10.1 RC1 System: IBM Thinkpad T42, Pentium M 1.6GHz, Atheros wi-fi a/b/g .. klausk:~ # modprobe -v acpi insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-20-default/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.16-20-default/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device klausk:~ # Also, cannot find any ath_pci or equivalent driver for my Atheros internal wlan. Installed madwifi & wlan-kmp-default packages, but could not find the kernel modules there either. Both acpi/cpufreq and ath_pci *are* working in my SuSE Pro 10.0 install. Did a clean network install for openSUSE 10.1 RC1, in another partition. Any thoughts before filing a new bug? Thanks, Klaus -- :: klaus heinrich kiwi :: <klauskiwi(a)gmail.com> ::
