[opensuse-factory] opensuse-updater .po-file
by Martin Schlander 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

I'm now maintainer and coordinator of Danish localization. I miss a po-file for opensuse-updater in svn. Are the translations hidden in some other po-file? Some other reason I can't find it? Should I file a bugzilla?

[opensuse-factory] Desktop Effects(XGL) and KDE
by Karsten Robert Frank 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Hi, will it be possible to activate and manage Xgl when using KDE just like Gnome. I really like Xgl but fumbling around with replacing desktop managers and windecorations is a real annoyance. (besides you need to be an experienced Linux user for getting it to work.) This is something that would really help me to justify a complete desktop migration to SLED.(eye-catcher thing) So is there anything planned for 10.2(or/and SLED SP?) to enhance activation and management of Xgl and compiz for KDE.

[opensuse-factory] new patch made package-management worse
by Marcel Hilzinger 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

I installed the new updates from yesterday. Now update-status is running all the time and consumes about 80-100% CPU. Installing two packages with YaST took 15 minutes on an athlon 1,4 GHz with 256 MByte RAM. Did anybody else also have this regression? Are PCs with less than 512 MByte RAM supposed to work with SL 10.2? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] CUPS update
by Marcel Hilzinger 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Is there a CUPS update planned for 10.2? Gimpprint was replaces with gutenprint 5.0 these days and it would be nice to have these new printers/features with 10.2. Also the stp driver for many Epson printers are replaced by a new driver (cannot remember which). -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-factory] ATI/Nvidia drivers via KMP for 10.2?

Anyhow, even SLE is at the moment not 'up to date' anymore, as nVidia released new drivers almost 1 month ago (1.0-1884) Hopefully a place to host these drivers can be found (sorry, I don't have such a high bandwidth connection) Dominique

Ups, sorry. of course I meant 8774 (1884 would be a much smaller number). But the latest KMP's available in the Repo seem to be 1.0.8762 Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] KDE disk full error message
by Peter Nixon 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hi Guys I just updated my notebook to current factory and see that kde has been updated (new SUSE menu etc). The jury is still out on the menu, but there is a new app which checks the disk usage and pops up an annoying error message all the time to say that you are down to X% disk space and would you like to open konqueror to clean out your home dir. I told it no a number of times and also clicked the "bugger off and leave me alone in future" tickbox to no avail and it kept coming back. Now for some reason (maybe in frustration I clicked yes the last time, I dont remember) it keeps randomly popping up new konqueror windows... Somebody please take this feature out the back and whack it with a big stick! Failing that, please make sure that it has a "bugger off and leave me alone in future" option that actually works!

[opensuse-factory] Package Manager Update 3: Call for Testing
by Andreas Jaeger 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Our developers are continuing to improve the package manager stack. We'd like to release some of their changes for 10.1 now and I'd like to ask for testers. Please report all bugs you find in bugzilla (http://bugzilla.novell.com, component libzypp and include in the summary "Package Manager Update 3"). We plan to release on friday, 2006-09-01 an update to the test repository with anything that has been found so far and plan to release the final update next week officially. This update contains the following new features: * support for patch/delta RPMs in YUM sources (#168844) in YOU but not yet in the ZENworks tools This update includes fixes for the following bugs: * various performance enhancements * 190163 - *-kmp-* dependencies match multiple kernel packages * 176568 - Evaluate possible xml parser optimizations * 195567 - 100 /var/tmp/TmpFile.xxxxx in 3 Days * 193584 - cut-off package description in zen-updater * 194424 - Online update setup creates unusable cron job * 191676 - zen installer/updater cannot add an FTP YUM repository * 190295 - zen-updater/zmd/rug does not install update stack patches first * 193212 - zmd does not unblock transactions after transaction preparation failure * 191506 - zen-updated showing updates from non-subscribed catalog * 183656 - mono needed for YaST package management since last update openSUSE 10.2 will see further improvments that need even better testing. If you like to test, please read below the details - otherwise wait for the online update that we will release soon. Until the online update has been installed, I advise to run as root "yast2 online_update" for patch installation. If you have never updated the stack, then use yast to do the following, otherwise use either ZENworks tools or YaST: * Add the following (or one of the mirrors) as installation source: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test * Run an online update and install the new libzypp patch * Test whether YOU installs patches using patch/delta RPMs. Note patch and delta RPMs are smaller than full RPMs. Therefore download is faster but assembly of them takes longer. If anything looks broken, please contact myself and Stano <visnov at suse.cz>. Feel free to add him as <visnov at novell.com> in your bugzilla report, so that we do not lose track of any issues with this update. We do not plan to add further fixes, our goal is to get this update out and find any regressions introduced. openSUSE 10.2 will see further improvments that need even better testing and the ongoing progress can be tested using the openSUSE 10.2 Alpha releases - with Alpha4 next week.
