[opensuse-factory] modules gobble disk space with built kernel
by Felix Miata 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

/lib/modules/(stock2.6.21kernel)# du -s 60804 . /lib/modules/(my2.6.21kernel)# du -s 538292 . That's a 785% increase in space consumed by my modules over stock modules. Does that happen for anyone building their own Factory kernel? Can a more normal space consumption be made to happen by a mere mortal kernel building novice like myself? What I did was: 1-apply the patch from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7513 2-zcat /proc/config.gz > .config 3-make menuconfig to add smbfs and change the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION 4-make 5-make modules_install 6-INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install 7-fix the resulting broken /boot/grub/menu.lst -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] AIGLX
by Francis Giannaros 30 May '08

30 May '08

Users tend to ask about AIGLX quite a bit. Why do we not have this enabled by default, where possible? Xgl is nice and a lot of people prefer it (including myself), but a lot of people prefer using AIGLX too. Having it enabled by default where possible of course also provides the possibility of switching between compiz/kwin/metacity easier too. If not setting it up by default, perhaps we could consider having a script similar to gnome-xgl-switch for setting it up a little more easily for users. Any thoughts?

Acrobat Reader 8 is out, but on openSUSE NON OSS repo I see only version 7. Does it mean that acroread package will not be updated for 10.3 final? Thanks! -- Igor Jagec

[opensuse-factory] Can't Rescue 10.3
by Felix Miata 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Friday I determined that 4096 was an inappropriate blocksize for my non-libata hda19 Factory / partition. I booted 10.1 from hda7 and did a cp -a on that partition to another partition, reformatted to the 1024 blocksize, then did cp -a back to it. I then tried to mount and chroot to it in order to run grub-install. Grub-install failed due to the non-existent target device. Copying the hda19 device file from the 10.1 / and trying again didn't help. I tried to do a rescue installation, but both rescue modes apparently failed for a similar or the same reason. Is it possible in Factory to do a rescue? If so, how? -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] should keyboards with active LEDs be suspended
by Oliver Neukum 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi, powersaving in the idle state requires the USB busses to be suspended. This means that all LEDs on keyboards (Num-lock, CapaLock, ...) will be deactivated. The keyboards behavior is not affected. Can we live with an inconsistency of this kind or should keyboards with active LEDs not go into powersave?

[opensuse-factory] Looking outside the box
by Andreas Jaeger 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

I've just send out to people that report to me the following request and like to share it with you so that you know what's going on if you see discussions starting and can look at the webpage as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ openSUSE 10.3 is a really great release and I'd like to thank you for your participation on it. To take a break and some inspiration I'd like you to take some time now (let's say two days) and look at other current distributions and operating systems and check what they can do better, or how could we improve our products. Looking at operating systems, I consider the following most interesting but feel free to look at others as well: * Fedora 8 Test 3 * Ubuntu/Kubuntu 7.10 Beta * Mandriva 2008 * PCLinuxOS * Windows Vista * Mac OSX I suggest to install at least one of these products on real hardware and evaluate the distribution and try to get ideas for our next product. * Look at the installation, what do you like and hate? * Check the area you're most familiar in, e.g. printing, and see how it's integrated, e.g. configure a printer and print some documents. What is different compared to openSUSE 10.3? Where is the user experience different? * Use the machine for some work, play around with it. How do you like it? Please write down your experience on the openSUSE wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/Distro_Inspirations - and if you see things that you like to discuss, discuss them on the opensuse-factory mailing list. Try to evaluate the distribution from a desktop user perspective - and if you want to evaluate it differentely, please state it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

[opensuse-factory] YaST2 SSHD Module - Call for help/volunteers
by Lukas Ocilka 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi, As you probably know, we've added a new yast2-sshd package that configures the sshd daemon to the openSUSE 10.3. http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/index.jsp?searchTerm=yast2-sshd&distro=… This module was started as an exemplary YaST module for YaST tutorial http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL10.3/tutorials/t1.html Now it seems the the openSUSE community would like to have it extended. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333655 ...but isn't that the best way for the community to learn more about YaST, about the powerful features we currently offer? Isn't that great that to community already has all pieces to change YaST to do what they exactly want? That's why I'm writing this mail. I'd like to encourage $you, even if you aren't an experienced developer, don't you want to learn more, don't you want to try it? This is the current SVN of YaST SSHD module: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/sshd/ So, please, just try that..., send me a patch..., whatever ;) Thanks & Bye Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic

[opensuse-factory] OpenSuSE 10.3 with XEN and LVM
by Thorolf Godawa 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi, OK, it seems that OpenSuSE 10.3 still is "a little bit" beta so I try it here also. I'm trying to install OpenSuSE 10.3 on an old iP IV-HT with Intel 865G, SATA-HDD and PATA-DVD. I'm doing a new installation (no upgrade from 10.2 which was installed before), selected "minimal graphical system", "XFCE-desktop", "Host-Server for XEN", "Kernel-development" and some others, selected for "/boot", "/", "/usr", "/var" and "swap" the partitions I created with 10.2 and for "/home" the LVM-volume "/dev/vg01/home" I also made with 10.2! The installation is running through and mostly everything works fine IF I start with the default kernel. The only thing is, that I get only 55Hz refresh rate with X11, I tried several monitor-settings (Eizo FlexScan F563, VESA 1024x768@75Hz, VESA 1024x768@85Hz and VESA 1152x8??@75Hz but I don't get more than 55Hz - for me it's not a big problem because I need X11 only for the first configuration, later I'll use ssh for everything else. I also recognized that the naming for the partitions in /etc/fstab changed from 10.2 to 10.3: /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6Y160M0_Y44AGXFE-part1 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 What is the reason for this? Are there any advantages or only the disadvantage that I can't just replace the harddrive after copying over all files? The BIG problem I have that the system does not boot with the XEN-kernel. During boot it tells me that one partition needs a manual fsck.ext3 and stops, checking the partition does not help but the default-kernel still boots without any problems :-( I was able to solve the problem by moving "/home" from the LVM-volume "/dev/vg01/home" to the root-partition "/dev/sda7", but this is not a real solution. After doing so the system now starts, but I have several errors during the boot of the system: ----------------- boot.msg ----------------- Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.22.5-31-xen Loaded 24632 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.22.5-31-xen.

Failed services in runlevel 3: irq_balancer nscd portmap smartd Skipped services in runlevel 3: smbfs splash xendomains <notice>killproc: kill(2134,3) ----------------- boot.msg ----------------- Anyway the system works more or less, I can start XFCE4 with 55Hz :-( and also the "Virtualization" within YaST. Next step would be the creation of a new VM using LVM-volumes for the PV-system and it's data, but if I want to add a new virtual harddisk I can't find "( ) use block-device" ("Block-Gerät verwenden") I had in my 10.2 installation :-( With OpenSuSE 10.2 all the above worked fine, but because the 10.3 comes with Xen 3.10 I really would prefer that if it would work! Thanks a lot for any ideas, -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf ------------------------------------------------------------------ e-Mail: mailto:Thorolf@Godawa.de \|/ /'~'\ Homepage: http://www.godawa.de ( o o ) --------------------------------------------------oOOO--(_)--OOOo- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
