[opensuse-factory] Running a program when launching the SUSE install part
by houghi 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

How can I do the following: Each time I run `yast, Software, Software Management` that I first run `createrepo /usr/src/packages/RPMS` so I don't forget to include extra files I downloaded. Would this be something usefull to ask for to be done by default? -- Listen do you hear them drawing near in their search for the sinners? Feeding on the power of our fear and the evil within us. Incarnation of Satan's creation of all that we dread. When the demons arrive those alive would be better off dead! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] X.Org 7 for Factory
by Stefan Dirsch 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hi We currently are switching to X.Org 7 for Factory. This might result in package build failures. Some hints for packagers to adjust their packages: Changes in X.Org 7 (important for packagers) -------------------------------------------- - X.Org libs: /usr/X11R6/%_lib --> /usr/%_lib * sometimes you need to add '--x-libraries=/usr/%{_lib}' configure option (if available); background: use "-L $AC_PATH_X" with care - if prefix is /usr, $AC_PATH_X is empty. - X.Org executables: /usr/X11R6/bin --> /usr/bin * adjust %files section accordingly when required, e.g. when package uses imake - if autobuild expansion errors for libX11, etc. arises: * either add an additional line '#!BuildIgnore: NX' or package 'xorg-x11-devel' to Buildrequires; Update: probably this problem will be resolved inside of autobuild - X.Org manual path: /usr/X11R6/man --> %_mandir * adjust %files section accordingly - Xserver SDK package: xorg-x11-sdk --> xorg-x11-server-sdk * adjust your BuildRequires - X.Org pixmaps: /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/ --> /usr/include/X11/pixmaps/ * adjust %files section accordingly - X.Org Xserver modules: /usr/X11R6/%{_lib}/modules --> /usr/%{_lib}/xorg/modules * adjust %files section accordingly - Mesa DRI drivers: /usr/X11R6/%{_lib}/modules/dri --> /usr/%{_lib}/dri * adjust %files section accordingly - XKeysymDB: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysmDB --> /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB * make sure $XKEYSYMDB is *not* set to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysmDB, but /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB instead - nls/ directory: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls --> /usr/share/X11/nls * only interesting for legacy apps - X.Org fonts: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts --> /usr/share/fonts * move fonts of other font packages as well? /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts will still be allowed ... - Xserver include files: /usr/X11R6/lib/Server/include --> /usr/include/xorg * adjust configure options or Imakefiles/Makefiles - xkb files: /etc/X11/xkb --> /usr/share/X11/xkb - termcap files: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc --> /usr/lib/X11/etc - /usr/lib/X11 is no longer a symlink to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, but a real directory! - /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults --> /usr/share/X11/app-defaults * /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults is still read, but should we disallow the use of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults nevertheless in autobuild? Package changes: ---------------- xorg-x11 --> xorg-x11 +xorg-x11-fonts +xorg-x11-fonts-devel xorg-x11-Xnest +xorg-x11-Xprt +xorg-x11-Xvfb --> xorg-x11-server xorg-x11-Xvnc (not yet available - on my TODO list) xorg-x11-devel --> xorg-x11-devel +xorg-x11-lib<foo>-devel +xorg-x11-proto-devel +xorg-x11-util-devel +xorg-x11-xtrans-devel xorg-x11-doc --> xorg-x11-doc xorg-x11-driver-options (obsolete) xorg-x11-driver-video +xorg-x11-driver-video-nvidia --> xorg-x11-driver-video xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi +xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi +xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic +xorg-x11-fonts-scalable +xorg-x11-fonts-syriac --> xorg-x11-fonts xorg-x11-libs --> xorg-x11-libs +xorg-x11-lib<foo> xorg-x11-man --> xorg-x11-devel +xorg-x11-lib<foo>-devel xorg-x11-sdk --> xorg-x11-server-sdk xorg-x11-server +xorg-x11-server-glx --> xorg-x11-server +xorg-x11-driver-input +xorg-x11-driver-video In most cases for building X11 apps it should be enough to add 'xorg-x11-devel' to BuildRequires (as before). If you need Xvfb add also 'xorg-x11-server'. And if you're building external input/video drivers add 'xorg-x11-server-sdk'.

[opensuse-factory] Factory miniiso dies during startup

I just downloaded the factory miniiso. After I booted it I selected netinstall http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ After the image is downloaded things look like this (on vt3): =============================== dns: ftp.gwdgf.de is 134.76.11.100 Loading image "/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/i386/root" http: /pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/root (83927040 bytes) cramfs: "root 81960" image size: 81960 kB mount: /download/image0: we need a loop device mount: using /dev/loop0 http: /pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/content (7519 bytes) http: /pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/info.txt (868 bytes) http: /pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/license.zip (5479 bytes) http: /pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/control.xml (28357 bytes) Loading image "/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/driverupdate" /download/image1 removed starting setctsid `showconsole` inst_setup yast install program exit code is 127 opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source /fdownload/image0 removed =============================== (typos are mine).

[opensuse-factory] Hacking SuSE installation process.
by Samuel Partida 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hi people, I don't know if this is the correct list. I'm working on a project related with SuSE Linux distribution and we need to achieve some development skills on SuSE. I would like to know if there are any documents describing procedures on SuSE development. Now i'm interested on knowing the procedure for the creation of the images that linuxrc loads (root, rescue, etc...) because we want to hack on the installation and boot processes. I've been reading at the SuSE Linux SDK at Novell Forge but there is not so much documentation so I've started to download the SDK iso files but I don't know if that is what i'm searching for (basically documentation about building suse from scratch). Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Currently no fglrx for factory?
by Joerg Mayer 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hello, I just updated my experimental laptop to current factory and fglrx to 8.27.10. It seems that I currently can't get the fglrx to work: When I run --buildpkg for 10.1, it complains that "module ABI majore versoin (0) doesn't match the server's version(1)", when I build for 10.2, i complains that "... - detected X.org 7.2.-1.2, required X.org 7.1.0.0" Maybe it would be a good idea to make sure that this doesn't find its way into the Alpha3. Also, is there a way to work around this? ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer(a)loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.

[opensuse-factory] Mirrors are wrong on Novell
by houghi 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

On http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/downloads/ftp/int_mirrors.html there is at least one mirror that is not active anymore: Belgium > Telenet. mirrors.telenet.be/mirrors/ftp.suse.com/ I know that I should mail the webmaster, however I think it might be better if the people who keep themselves busy with the mirrors could look into that page themselves and see what and if anything needs to change. e.g. Are Need any mirrors be deleted or added? Is the <Architecture> still up to date? Also a link to download.suse.com and/or download.opensuse.org would be great. While you are at it, don't forget to check http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/downloads/ftp/germ_mirrors.html as well. -- First we thought the PC was a calculator.

[opensuse-factory] Nautilus Issues with EEL
by Ryan Lewon 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

I have nautilus-2.12.2-76 installed... Of coures it will not launch, it says "nautilus: symbol lookup error: /opt/gnome/lib/libnautilus-private.so.2: undefined symbol: eel_uri_get_scheme. I suppose since the EEL package was updated this would be causing the underlying issues. Any fixes going to be released for this? (SUSE_Factory repository). -- Ryan Lewon

[opensuse-factory] Xgl: larger that screen windows for OO.o and YaST in KDE
by Silviu Marin-Caea 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

I use Xgl + compiz under KDE. Every version I had has this bug: OpenOffice.org windows start larger than the available screen area, and need to be resized. They also start directly in the next viewport, not in the active one. In the active one there's only a few pixels of the left frame of the window. Also, yast sw_single always starts the same way. I have used 10.1, 10.2alpha2, Xgl from the distribution and Xgl from Compiz-Quinn repository. Does this combination work right for anyone? Does it work under Gnome? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help(a)opensuse.org
