So HOW do I have a Pentium 4 with 2 > cpu's? It's a HyperThreading CPU. A half-hearted shot at a dual-core CPU. In a dual-core CPU there's a 100% complete pairing of all the circuitry that makes up a CPU (though they share the level 2 cache). In a HyperThreading CPU not all of the CPU hardware is present twice, hence there is less available parallelism. I don't know the details, but a plausible example would be that two concurrent integer multiplies could be occurring but two concurrent double-precision floating-point multiplies could not take place. > Peace...................ed Peace.

[opensuse-factory] switch from 10.2 to Factory
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby (R12y) 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi, I would like to switch to Factory because I cannot make the SDL window to appear. I am not sure it's a bug, I am just going to see if it's better on a development version. I dont use non-OSS except for my Centrino's Wifi. It should be OK to switch. What I did is I added SL-OSS-Factory and non-OSS one. But it screams against an unresolvable dependency problem about ieee802. AFAIK, This ieee802 is part of near future kernels. Is it ecause of that? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Epson CX5300 Scanner Work Around
by Keith Goggin 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi, My scanner now works correctly in openSUSE 10.2 after applying the correct USB Vendor and Product ID (0x04b8 0x808) to the 'usb' line in </etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf> as described by Jon Nelson in his comment # 4 Bugzilla # 229250. It seems to me that there may be more than one problem here given the Sane Bug Tracker # 304271 reports in part:- "seems libsane 1.0.17 is working for these scanners, 1.0.18 not" and the Epson site <http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_spc.html> contains what appears to be a simple typo error in the configuration file <epkowa.desc> contained in <iscan-2.4.0-0.c2.tar.gz>. (I believe the CC600-PX, CX5100, CX5200, CX5300 and CX5400 should all report Vendor/Product ID 0x04b 0x0808) I note also the Sane developers appear to have incorporated the incorrect 0x0801Product ID in their equivalent sane.desc file. Ironically now that my scanner is working again, it hasn't worked since SuSE10.0, the print heads have totally blocked up and I'm up for a new MFP! I've now seen three (3) CX5300's fail because of ink blockages so my new one will not be from that stable :-( --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Installation - Updates / Ideas
by Lukas Ocilka 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hi, openSUSE has still some problems with memory limitations and with ZYPP killing the fist stage installation when all logs are stored in memory only - it's sometimes very hard to get them. To reduce the memory limitations or log to a safe place, you can use a new article: http://en.opensuse.org/Logging_YaST_to_USB_Stick_in_Installation or an older one: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Remote_Logging_in_Installation To reduce the memory limitations by swapping on a removable device (USB stick), you can use this solution: http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Installation_with_Little_Memory&redi… Lukas

[opensuse-factory] ppc factory
by Peter Czanik 16 Jan '07

Hello, Any news when PPC factory will be updated? i386 had updates also this morning, while PPC had nothing in the past 10 days :-( Support for our new machine ( http://www.pegasosppc.com/efika.php ) became available in the 2.6.20-RC kernels, but current PPC factory has only the 2.6.18...

[opensuse-factory] Kernel Upgrade 2.6.20
by Dominique Leuenberger 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hi everybody, As I have the ftp factory tree in my installation sources, of course My OS is constantly trying to update around 1000 packages. So far no problem at att :-) (except my low bandwidth.. but that's another story). Just one question: Does somebody know when the kernel upgrade to 2.6.20 might be possible? So far, the kernel (in rc4) is there, but an update is not possible es for example the wlan-kmp is missing (and yes, I'm on a wireless connection). But still, I would like to test on the new kernel, as some features of my notebook (Flash Media) should finally be supported :-) Or is there something I can contribute in this case?

[opensuse-factory] awful system response on boot
by Felix Miata 13 Jan '07

13 Jan '07

parse-metadata update-status zmd Why is it these have to gobble nearly 100% CPU on boot? Getting a reaction to login prompt and password inputs should be virtually instantaneous, but is far from it. Could they be forced to a lower priority by default? What is find doing after the previous 3 finish? -- "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

[opensuse-factory] ZMD Database
by Dominique Leuenberger 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hi, I'm just in process of a bit analyzing the Zen Process... Some comments / questions on the database: - The Table catalogs contains a field 'checksum', which parse-repodata is comparing on. But on my respective DB, this field is empty, with exception to @system As far as I understood parse-repodata, it would skip the whole parser in case the checksum were identical. (probably imrpoving the 'wakeup speed'?) could we store a checksum found in repomd.xml in here? On wakeup, the repo is downloaded and compared.. so by downloading repomd.xml (which is always very small) and comparing the hash to i.e. the has stored for primary.xml[.gz] found in repomd.xml, could improve a bit here. Comments? Am I completely off or could this be a direction? I would also be willing to help coding on this product. With whom should I get in touch for this? (I don't just want to implement a patch on 'good luck'. It should be discussed first) Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
