[opensuse-factory] RUG more 'solid'
by Dominique Leuenberger 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hi, I'm trying to bring my 10.2 Installation up to Factory again to follow the development and start yelling when something goes wrong :-) so far, I did not see new errors (but was also not able to upgrade yet). The only thing I still see with zmd/rug is: When there are to many packages coming in (at the moment I should update ~ 1050 packages), I can almost be certain that the upgrade fails. To high the chances that the download of any single package gets a failure and kills the whole task, usually even killing zmd. Most likely that's an issue you can not see within the Novell Network, when getting the packages from a local server with high bandwidth. Unfortunately, I'm only connected with 2.5Mbps, and thus it appears a bit more likely. Is there something that could be done against this? I mean: I have nothing against a failure... but at least zmd should stay active and allow me to relkaunch a rug up (and no: as long as zypper gives me this subjective feeling of being slow, I prefer having zmd/rug running, with a sleep timer set to 60 minutes, and I don't want to hassle around with smart for the moment). Looking forward for some comments, Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 audit problem
by Sid Boyce 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Just on one of my x86_64 boxes when booted straight into runlevel 5 auditd fails to allow Xorg to run. Going into init 3 as root and issuing init 5, no problem.

[opensuse-factory] RFC: Topics for next dist meeting
by Andreas Jaeger 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

We're having tomorrow again our distribution meeting where we discuss major future changes to the distribution. I have so far on the agenda: * libata per default: We plan to use libata even for IDE devices. This opens some challenges for updates. * mDNSresponder->avahi We discussed some time ago to drop mDNSresponder and use only avahi. I'd like to know whether we're ready to this now. Is there anything you like to comment on this so that I can present it tomorrow? Are there further topics I should bring up in future meetings?

[opensuse-factory] Better Support for Intel Macs 10.3
by Marcel Hilzinger 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

Are ther any plans on this? I installed 10.2 on a Mac Mini and it works quite well. But I found the following problems: - (Official) documentation - Installer does not recognize Mac partitons. YaST shows them as Linux Native. What about a resizer for HFS+, so we do not need bootcamp? - Bootloader Installation even on a partition is not possible. I had to call grub-install /dev/sda3 manually. Maybe we could integrate refit - After first reboot, the partition table was not altered, so booting the installed system was not possible, as YaST found no partitions from type 82/83. Booting the rescue system and changing the ID solved this issue - how to switch bluetooth/wlan on/off? On Notebooks this is usually done via Hotkeys, but on the Mac Mini, if you switched it off under Mac OS X, how can you enable it under Linux -Special keys: the eject button works, but the volume buttons do not (normal USB Mac keyboard) Shall I create a wiki-page for the problems or bugzilla entries? Or is perfect intel mac support not a goal at all? -- 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] Zenupdater unable to solve dependencies
by M9. 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, best wishes... After reorganising my hdd, according to the new expectations, i Installed 10.2 from the retail dvd, i got for testing, subject still the same as before... I attached the logs to Bug #230687. Since there was improvement, i decided to stay a while with the zenupdater. It looks good, takes not that much time anymore, but if it stays like this, it is useless. Is it possible, to let it install the updates where the dependencies are fullfilled, and leave those which are unfullfilled? Or is SuSE gonna drop the updater?

[opensuse-factory] rug / zypper comparision
by Dominique Leuenberger 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi, I'm getting with this to the factory list as I don't want to bother 'regular user support' in the opensuse-ML. Everybody nowadays is talking about how much better zypper would be compared to rug/zmd. Can somebody just in short tell me where the advantage is? Ok: it does not use the zm-daemon, but this one is running quiet nice in 10.2 (didn't have to many probs yet.. or I'm not aware of them...) On the other hand, with zypper, I always have to su just to install a single package. That's something I like about rug for example: I can add a catalog as su, subscribe to it, and from there my users are allowed to grab packages. Without knowing the su password. But they are not allowed to install an rpm using rug (at least that was what my test showed me: it's ok to INstall from a subscribed catalog, but nor from a local rpm) And in overall, rug feels 'faster' for me compared to zypper. This especially as zypper, whenever I do something like zypper lu or zypper se, refreshes the catalogs. There seems to be no caching at all or it's not working for me. and this makes zypper quiet slow. rug OTOH just gives me the requested output. The fact, that an update can happen on a repo just in the time between the last refresh, is quiet low. I admit, in some cases this lead to unresolvable dependencies. So: I'm looking forward to hear some other statements, maybe corrections.

[opensuse-factory] commit mailing list
by Claes Bäckström 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi. Seems like I don't get anymore mail from the commit mailing list. Last mail came 22/12-06. As I'm already tracking factory and keep downloading new stuff I think it's strange that I don't get any information about the updates from the commit mailing list. Am I the only one this happens for?
