This test is imho quiet fast and we could leave most of the scripts. And still remove the one's we don't need anymore.

[opensuse-factory] torrent peer for alpha4
by Kenneth Schneider 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Trying to download alpha4 from: ftp://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/openSUSE-10.2-Alpha4/openSUSE-10.2-Alpha4-i386.torrent and I am not finding any peers. Is this not seeded yet. I would like to test this version on my laptop. Straight ftp works but is rather slow at the moment.

[opensuse-factory] i815 install can't start X server
by Felix Miata 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

This is a Dell GX150 with 512M RAM and onboard i815 video. I just tried 3 times to install factory from FTP, and each time I get the subject message and dumped into text install. First I tried twice with the 28 Aug linux and initrd, which I have downloaded to /boot, then with the current 31 Aug versions. Error console shows: (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0) 0: Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x81) [0x80cbb11] 1: [0xb7f66420] 2: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libfb.so(fbOddTile+0x118) [0xb7ba5978] 3: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libfb.so(fbTile+0x8c) [0xb7ba5a3c] 4: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libfb.so(fbFillRegionTiled+0x19e) [0xb7ba62ee] 5: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libfb.so(fbPaintWindow+0x109) [0xb7ba65c9] 6: Xorg [0x8156cb1] 7: Xorg(miWindowExposures+0xfa) [0x810c70a] 8: Xorg(MapWindow+0x332) [0x8072c52] 9: Xorg(InitRootWindow+0xbe) [0x8072dee] 10: Xorg(main+0x42f) [0x806e55f] 11: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc) [0xb7d1b87c] 12: Xorg(FontFileCompleteXLFS+0x1f5) [0x806d8e1] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11.

Not everybody has it's computer running 24hrs a day, and cron lacks the feature of starting tasks that were skipped. I for my part don't have to let the computer run if there's no specific task to be done... so please: don't even think about cron scheduled jobs for system maintenance... they will just not work as requested Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Additions to help openSUSE system
by Rajko M 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Now there is no simple way to help new Linux user with installation or configuration problem if I have to see the logs. First I have to explain to user: - how to open console or switch to terminal session, - how to switch to root, - where to find logs, - what to type to get there, - what to type to copy logs in reply message If I want to see only few lines from the log: - how to use "vi" (that is the reason why the vi is not good as only option for basic installed system), - how to find and transfer to mail client information that I want to see. Than after all I can see the log or excerpt from it. Above is the reason that I advertise Midnight Commander. http://en.opensuse.org/Midnight_Commander It is lesser to learn for file browsing, viewing and editing using mc than command line, and it fulfills most of demands for a simple troubleshooting system. The problem is that any of "first aid in case of trouble" articles are written by Linux experts. While they are competent in troubleshooting, they can't go in details needed for novice (see above). Expert answers must be translated to the common language, expanded with common Linux knowledge, by some intermediate person that is able to understand both sides. Better (more elaborated) help application than mc might help everybody in the help chain. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello, will openSUSE replace the cdrtools (which are now under the GPL incompatible CDDL license) by the new cdrkit, which is a fork of the latest GPL'd cdrtools?
