[opensuse-factory] SuSEconfig clearance: SuSEconfig.xdm
by Christoph Thiel 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hi there, to continue the SuSEconfig clearance initiative, let's have a look at SuSEconfig.xdm. It's actually a pretty easy case, as the various parts just need to be moved to /etc/init.d/xdm and startx. I already talk to Stefan, who'll take care of this change. Bug #200299 has been submitted :) That's it for this week -- after looking into most of the SuSEconfig scripts, I already got a general idea of what's possible. I'll keep you in the loop with more mails on this topic. Many … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Change session to Gnome [10.2alpha3]
by J Nash 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hey! I did a default with KDE as my desktop and now I want to try out Gnome. So I went to Software Management, selected the Gnome pattern and installed it. It installed fine but I can't seem to find it on the Session Type option before I login. There's Custom, Failsafe, FVWM, TWM and KDE on there but no Gnome. I searched on the wiki for some documentation about it but wasn't able to find any. J Nash --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Current x86_64 Factory: Problem with hal/dbus?
by Alex 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

I follow closely the factory distribution, but for some days now I have problems seemingly connected with the dbus-system. Especially it is no longer possible to mount removable media (apart from the old-fashiond "mount" command as root user ;). I cannot exactly pinpoint the date, but I imagine it started around the time when hal and PolicyKit became seperate packages. Problems: In KDE, I cannot mount removable storage (usb and firewire) any longer. A window pops up telling my that hal.… [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Rug and Factory
by James Oakley 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

I've been trying to keep up to date with Factory, but every time I try an update, it fails for some reason or another. It's usually "Failed to parse XML metadata: Can't add repository at ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source: Cannot create the installation source" So after many weeks, I finally have factory "active" in rug, but now rug thinks I'm up to date: maus:~ # rug up No updates are available. The problem is that I'm not up to date: maus:~ # … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] provider problems
by Peter Czanik 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Hello, I rsync-ed this night and tried to install factory and tried to install on my Pegasos PPC. There seems to be a couple of problems with providers. I got a message that a total of 37MB of software is going to be installed due to unresolvable software conflicts :-) Then I checked, what's wrong, and got the following: - there is no installable provider for 'yast2-perlbinding' (it is actually there) - there is no installable provider for 'yast2-inetd' (it is actually there) - there is no … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] local mirror via rsync
by Richard Meek 12 Aug '06

12 Aug '06

I'm trying to mirror 10.1 updates (and only these, at the moment) for local use. I could of course consider making it public, subject to size / bandwidth constraints, but not until it's working. The wiki section "SDB:How To Create a Patch CD" advises using rsync at ftp.gwdg.de::pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/9.2 I realise that 9.2 is well dated, but the structure has changed too - I think (looking at the files for 10.1 on this server, and http://en.opensuse.org/… [View More]

[opensuse-factory] name of the opensuse distribution
by jdd 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

I wont revive a troll nor contest the new openSUSE name. But we have an history and a wiki and we must take care of all that stuff. How will we call the distribution in the wiki pages? what if we speak of 9.3 ? what if we speak of all of them? I propose here what could be written in the wiki tomorrow (or so) I think we could say that "openSUSE" is now the official name _of all_ the suse distributions whatever they are. but... * for the pre-10.2, the name SUSE Linux is acceptable (and … [View More]

In this case, openSUSE should have this extension compiled in the packages. So all openSUSE users can profit from it.
