[opensuse-factory] PolicyKit and Digikam
by Juan Erbes 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Many weeks ago, upgrading with smart, it replaced mDNSResponder with avahi-compat-mDNSResponder, and then, Digikam has hanged, any time I would to connect the cam. Then I installed mDNSResponder with smart, and it has removed avahi-compat-mDNSResponder, and digikam worked ok. With the two last updates (the last was not complete), Digicam can't connec to the camera, but now I mean that is a permission problem, derived from PolicyKit, because the permissions are set only to root in the usb devices. In the logs I do'nt find information about the cause of the problem. With the sound devices appear a similar problem (Bug 201055), and I will try if works the propossed solution: "Comment #2 From Ludwig Nussel 2006-08-23 02:41:27 MST [reply] never mind. looks like hal no longer searches $PATH for hal-resmgr. adding a symlink /usr/lib/hal/hal-resmgr -> /usr/sbin/hal-resmgr fixes the problem." They are a open bug about the digikam 0.8.2 SIGSEGV (Bug 202955).

[opensuse-factory] opensuse-updater how-to
by Martin Schlander 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

One of the many features I'm greatly looking forward to in 10.2 is the opensuse-updater (zen-updater replacement for KDE users). See more here: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_Updater_Applet It's not yet in factory but it's possible to test it in alpha4 nevertheless, here's how. 1) Install it You can install an rpm supplied by Duncan Mac-Vivar: http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/dmacvicar/SUSE_Linux_10.1/ The rpm is for 10.1 but works just fine on alpha4. Or you can install from the tarball provided if you feel like it: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6791 2) Tweak some settings Before you can test it you need to change a few things. Give the user superuser privileges: # rug ua <username> then +superuser Then <enter> to exit 3) Start the applet Currently starts with the command (using the RPM): SUSEUpdater 4) Enable tcp Click the systray icon -> click Add/remove servers -> click Advanced options -> set TCP "on" -> close the options window and reopen it Now you should be ready to update your alpha using this nice updater. Here's a screenshot of it running on my alpha4 install: http://www.linuxin.dk/eyecandy/2160_2.jpg So far there's only a zmd backend - but backends for zypp and smart are planned. I'm sure Narayan will welcome any feedback and (coding) contributions he can get. I only wish I could do more to support this project.

[opensuse-factory] Yast Package Patterns / Categories Discussion
by Alexey Eremenko 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hi all ! I would like to point to current problems with Yast so called "Patterns" - maybe better name would be "Categories": 1.There is a topic named: "Primary Functions" I think it must be renamed to "Server Functions". 2. And some additional services should be added there - such as telnet-server, SSH server and FreeNX terminal server. 3. Also, I believe that network admins deserve a section dedicated for them, starting with several tools such as: Wireshark, Quagga, Nmap and please.... add Webmin too. (currently Webmin is not part of SUSE at all) -Any thoughts? -Alexey. 9.9.2006. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 10.2 A4 report
by Kenneth Schneider 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Installed 10.2 Alpha4 on a old laptop with the following problems: 1. USB mouse went haywire during install, used touchpad instead. 2. During package selection the screen stayed at 800x600 resolution even though I selected 1024x768 for the install res. 3. The Linksys wireless card is now recognised even though I needed to download a firware package from Ubuntu as one was not available from openSUSE that I could find. I do have the following error though: SoftMAC: Start scanning with channel: 1 SoftMAC: Scanning 14 channels SoftMAC: Scanning finished ieee80211_crypt_tkip: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'TKIP' bcm43xx: set security called, .level = 2, .enabled = 1, .encrypt = 1 ieee80211_crypt_ccmp: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'CCMP' bcm43xx: set security called, .level = 4, .enabled = 1, .encrypt = 1 bcm43xx: set security called, .level = 2, .enabled = 1, .encrypt = 1 bcm43xx: set security called, .level = 4, .enabled = 1, .encrypt = 1 ip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team bcm43xx: Radio turned off bcm43xx: DMA 0x0200 (RX) max used slots: 1/64 bcm43xx: DMA 0x0260 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 bcm43xx: DMA 0x0240 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 bcm43xx: DMA 0x0220 (TX) max used slots: 1/512 bcm43xx: DMA 0x0200 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 bcm43xx: PHY connected bcm43xx: Radio turned on bcm43xx: Chip initialized bcm43xx: DMA initialized bcm43xx: 80211 cores initialized bcm43xx: Keys cleared SoftMAC: Associate: Scanning for networks first.

As you can see the radio is turned on and I can scan for and see my wireless network using kwifimanager but the signal strength (0) reported is too poor for a connection. A scan using KWiFiManager shows the correct SSID, Mode:Managed (correct), Quality: 100, WEP: on (correct). Not sure how I should report this as it worked correctly under 10.1 using ndiswrapper. The radio strength on the Linksys wrt54g router is turned up to a higher value as well. Not sure where to report the network problem. Also the onboard eth controller is working fine.

[opensuse-factory] Monitor frequences during installation
by Eberhard Moenkeberg 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hi, a very annoying "featuritis" thingy happens during installation since some SUSE generations now: The (automatically) chosen values for the monitor frequencies lead to "value out of range" very often. I see it regularly since 10.0 with a lot of LCD displays used through KVM switches. The general policy with LCD displays HAS TO be: "lowest frequencies" at recognized resolutions. I.e. 1024x768@60Hz or 1280x1024@60Hz for example. No higher frequencies during the installation phase please, or give the user a choice. Currently the only chance for a user in that situation is to use a lower resolution (I have learned to always use 800x600 to survive), but this affects readability in a bad manner. Totally unnecessary.

[opensuse-factory] vnc password
by Andreas 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

I just tried to connect to my linux pc from a windows pc in my home network via vnc. It used to work out-of-the-box with SUSE <=10.1, where upon connecting I was presented with a kdm login screen. Now I am prompted to enter a password and have no clue what that would be. According to Sax2 no password is required. Even after changing Sax2 to actually require a password, that very same password was not accepted when I tried to connect :( Any hints? -- TIA Andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Yast installation sources: now with *NEW* screens!
by Azerion 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Goodday, when i used SL 10.1 and went to Yast2 inst_sources I saw an Add button. Hen I clicked it showed me a sort of drop-down with some options. You selected, a pop-up came you filled in and Done. In 10.2 however you click Add, go to a new screen, select an option, click on Next, enter the information and again Next. It seems very weird to have a whole screen for 1 <imput> with the name URL.... Why had it changes. The old manner was better I thnik Azerion --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Zope downgraded in factory
by Dominique Leuenberger 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hi, What's the reason that zope got downgraded back to the 2.7.8? I think, even in SuSE Linux 10.1, there was Zope 3 included, wasn't it? Latest release would be 3.2.1 (stable) Dominique
