[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 10.3, problem with enclosed kernel 2.6.22.9-0.4
by Ali Alwan 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

The latest kernel ( 2.6.22.9-0.4) enclosed with openSUSE 10.3 repositories caused hanging processes with state "D" = "disk sleep". Random processes got caught into endless state "D" and cannot be killed. I am using reiserfs file system. In order to resolve the problem, I had to downgrade my kernel to 2.6.18.2-34 which is shipped with openSUSE 10.2 (this is the only disks I have around). The error happened with my system, I do not if it going to happen with yours if you have similar system configuration. I just wanted to report this error/problem. Regards, Ali H.

[opensuse-factory] aria2fs

Hey Group; As SuSE's site suggested I did download aria2c and aria2fs compiled both and have them running. My problem is fron an attempt to download a openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-i386.iso (4.1GB)from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/iso/dvd/ aria2fs brings up an eterm (DOS Window) and looks like it is working for about 10 seconds and then states "Complete". Problem is it is on -rw-r--r--1 donn users "51664" openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-i386.iso What is wrong? -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

[opensuse-factory] alternative to kiwi
by Peter Czanik 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Hello, KIWI is not (yet) ported to PPC. Is there any other tool I could use to create an alternative install CD? Or just an alternative repository? Instead of the DVD, just a one CD, like for KDE or Gnome on x86. Of course, I would rather see KIWI ported to PPC for openSUSE 11.0, but for now I'm interested in any working solutions :) Bye, CzP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Regarding test suites for opensuse
by Mohammed Omar 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

hi all, I work for community distro testing from IBM, basically test opensuse/fedora development-cum-GA releases on IBM platforms like pseries, xseries machines. I have some set of test suites like ltp, stress, bash-memory, memtest, samba, nfs stress, etc for testing above distros. I want to know what kind of test suites community use for testing opensuse. If any body is working on this , pls reply me. thanks --omar --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

The yast2-sshd RPM is part of the 'standard' openSUSE 10.3 repository so I'd suggest this first: * add http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/ repository to the used surces * install the yast2-sshd package from it * modify the package and use the 'make' magic * if anything turns out to be wrong, just reinstall or remove the package (even if the files are modified, they'll get removed) In my opinion, this is an acceptable solution, isn't it :)? N-joy!

[opensuse-factory] Both 10.2 and 10.3 invalid now.
by Monkey 9 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Hi, x-server update on 10.3 this morning, made the os unuseable, the same goes for the kernel-update on 10.2, misplaced entrances in the bootloader made the os impossible to boot. Now both my SuSE's are down :-( How to fix them if not able to enter either of them? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] How To Upgrade System with Separate /var Partition
by Lukas Ocilka 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, It seems that YaST has sometimes problems when upgrading system with separate /var partition to openSUSE 10.3 due to the recent changes in hard disk device names. A new article "How To Upgrade System with Separate /var Partition" describes how to avoid suffering from this illness: http://en.opensuse.org/How_To_Upgrade_System_with_Separate_/var_Partition Please, extend/fix that article in case of any inconsistence, mistake, or just if you feel anything could be added. Thanks & Bye Lukas - -- PS: The /var partition needs to be known before mounting the system partitions just because it contains vitally important information making possible to find out how the disks have been renamed. That seems to be kind of 'Chicken & Egg problem' :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHE8uGVSqMdRCqTiwRAsYQAJ9fSZ1K3kNeqd5foJ7ndHbAmpA5zQCeLzWa Kj0PN9sQYa8+QBIAXNCMGqo= =XgPk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, Honestly I don't really know what you want to do however we actually do it this way: * Edit the source code in SVN (because we want the history) * Make stuff (see x*) * Submit it to the autobuild Although we use an internal autobuild, I'm just thinking about putting it to the external one. Lukas PS: x* make -f Makefile.cvs make make install make package (or) make package-local (then see the sshd/package directory)
