makeSUSEdvd error
by houghi 18 May '06

18 May '06

A new version and a new problem. I like these 'feature freezes'. :-/ When running makeSUSEdvd at the 'Installation Settings' I get the partitioning, the Software and the Language. Software tells me: No catalog found at 'cd:///?devices%3d%2fdev%2fhdb'. . Error: No proposal I have recieved a mail from somebody who did it manually with create_package_descr and got into the same problem. What has been changed? What can be done to repair the situation? houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

RC1 events/0 CPU usage
by Jon Black 04 May '06

04 May '06

Hi, I have a shiny new Intel Core Duo T2300 laptop with an nvidia geforce go 7400 graphics chipset. When I boot into Linux, there is a process in 'top' that is showing a 90% average cpu usage and it won't stop. I cannot kill it. There is an events/1 process that is always at 0%. I assume this is something to do with the processor and perhaps acpi, since there are two events processes and my processor has two cores. Any suggestions on what the problem may be? I have tried: 1. running with the basic provided graphics drivers for nvidia and no change 2. running with the nvidia provided graphics drivers and no change other than improved video performance Jon.

Factory updated on our server...
by Andreas Jaeger 02 May '06

02 May '06

Factory is updated on our server again - and is synced out to the mirrors. We've seen a number of reports of about segmentation faults in YaST with the factory tree. There were two problems: * bad error handling in YaST * Wrong release in distversion in the content file The inst-source/content file should have "DISTVERSION 10.1-factory" instead of "DISTVERSION 10.1-factory-beta" (the extra minus was the problem). The second problem is fixed in the factory tree, the first one will be fixed soon. Therefore I advise to check that factory is updated before using the tree before installation.

ipw2200, failed to load firmware
by Michael 'buk' Scherer 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

Moin. :) While loading the ipw2200 driver I get the message "unable to load firmware". Do I need the non-oss AddOn.iso to get this driver running or am I missing something else? This is an RC3 install on a Dell 6000 Inspiron. Greetings, Michael -- I love deadlines, especially the sound they make as they go whooshing by.

rc3 bugs
by jdd 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

there are so many little bugs in RC3 that I don't know how to enter them in bugzilla. I will try to note here what I've seen and then try to enter bugzilla. summary: I was unable to complete the RC3 installation with only the first CD on cd and all the other elsewhere on hard drive. 1)try to install from mini-iso. failed. When asking for the option "hard drive" was directed to eth0/eth1 and not to the hard drive. Same problem from the first cd with the same install system. 2)so install the minimal text install from first cd. with some expert partitionning-SUCCESS :-) 3) I had previously made an instsource on disk with yast from the 5 ISO and had the iso elsewhere 4) set the install source as hard drive, ISO and give the Iso of CD1. When I made them with applydemtaiso, I used the same name as RC1 (but with a 3). The first cd made well but Yats was not able to find the others cd and I couldn't make it accept the cd #2. tried to rename the ISO as disk1, 2, 3, 4, 5, with no better result. may be this iso works only with dvd. 5) set the install source as hard drive, directory and setup the inst-source previously setup by Yast. Almost worked, but asked for the CD2. If one answer "jump", the install continue (install was X base+kde base), it stops at each CD, jump made it continue. At the end the install was not complete. Seems like only the first package of each cd was missing. each time I connect to this install source, I'm said than "signature check failed" (in english on a french install) and asked if the message had to be displayed again. even I said NO, it was always displayed again. after a moment, I was no more able to join the install source (usb drive). It was mounted, I could go in the folder, but not use it with yast and it was deleted from yast sources. 6) lately, after going out of yast I was let without keypress display (I coul type but nothing was visible on the display) - "reset" corrected the problem 7) may be related with the rest (but I don't think so), when one have installed X, sax2 should be launched automatically. when installing kde, stsrtkde should be set. at least the user should be asked if he wants X and Kde, without having to lauch sax2 and go in yast to enable kdm/kde 8) at the beginning of the install, I needed to go twice to "personalise" and to expert mode to be able to safely install in a spare partition and not on the main one & set GRUB on the first sector of the partition (not to replace the working install). the GRUB think is quite nicely done, but the partitioning is confusing 9) why is it necessary to call DHCP at install boot? this takes 1 minute per eth card (and I have two). This was given as bug in bugzilla, but wontfix without real answer (can be avoided by "dhcptimeout=0). If one install from cd, this is unusefull and else it could be done after. 10) during the install, it is proposed to setup YOU. I was unable to connect to the server and disclosed this part 11) the first time I tried to install X+kde, I got a segfault 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

install frop hard drive not possible
by jdd 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

I reopened bug #155351 because it seems similar at what I have. I couldn't install RC3 with boot.iso (mini-iso) because when asking for hard drive I was asked for a net card in place of a hard drive :-( same with mini-iso RC2, but full RCI CD1 worked (asked for the drive) partly (could not go more than two or thre steps more, but found the hard drive (bur there it found RC3 and don't like it) so I can't install RC3 this evening - too bad. tomorrow I will burn CD's :-(( 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

The file /suse/setup/descr/packages.it is not available anymore. Is this on purpose, or forgotten? houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
