[opensuse-factory] new beta live cd seem buggy..
by Daniele 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hi guys, live-beta2.1 and kde-2.2 do not boot under vmware-server-1.0.4. Kiwi errors: --> Failed to mount root filesystem --> rebootException reboot in 60 sec beta-2.0 works fine. @Stephan, can you add md5 and, maybe with next beta, a small changelog? Something like: * new kernel * installer improvement * updated foo.. Not too much details..

[opensuse-factory] any way to create an installation DVD from Factory by-hand?
by teelynn19＠aim.com 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Hi- I am having a bit of trouble installing Factory since the switch to kernel 2.6.24. Installation hangs when the e1000 driver is loaded so I can't install over the network. Is there a method to create an installation DVD from the Factory by hand, without the new yast tools that have been mentioned elsewhere since I don't have an installation with those tools?

[opensuse-factory] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 46
by Stephan Kulow 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Hi! A normal week of development * kernel 2.6.24rc2 in Factory caused quite some problems with KMP modules * gcc 4.3 switched to Factory, roughly 150 packages still need to be fixed * (re)started package lists for CDs to get installation testing, so far some problems with gcc 4.3 and kernel 2.6.24 * worked on roadmaps for alpha releases. Next stop: 11.0 alpha0 to stabilize from the above * worked on updated live CD to fix random bugs and redo it with update packages[1] * some rough discussions where to head with 11.0 (nothing concrete, but the discussions on opensuse-factory are helping to understand) * in terms of registered installations, October 2007 was the most successful openSUSE month ever. It was 60% above the month having had this title so far (March 2007).

[opensuse-factory] kdenlive but not dvgrab?
by jdd 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

on my 10.3 , I installed kdenlive (from packman), but dvgrab is not installed and is necessary to get video from the camcorder. It's not obvious to compile (I get error). I had it in 10.1 but don't remember if I compled it myself or not... jd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2007/10/27/127022-Claire-Dodin-une-Toulousa… --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[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!

[opensuse-factory] repository sorting
by jdd 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

I just had a small problem and was helped on the opensuse list, but this shows something I may not be the only one to hit. if this is not the good list, please say so. I installed 10.3 on a laptop. as so I wanted to keep the dvd as source because I don't have net access always. but the result is that I setup update, packman, etc. repositories, but not standard one. the problem is that I found natural to think that the standard repository was equal to the dvd, wich is wrong prbably things are not enough explained on the wiki (I will get a look there and fix). The simpler way should be to have a repository for the standard dvd, but I see very well that it's fairly difficult given the boxed dvd's * are much bigger than the standard dvd * have things we can't have online * anyway don't have all, so we would need an addon repository anyway. may be this could be shown also at install time. I must say i didn't see the "community repository" menu some people like so much? more on the wiki thanks reading jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2007/10/27/127022-Claire-Dodin-une-Toulousa… --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Broken screensaver
by Rodrigo Moya 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi I think lots of people were hit by https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=341113 in the last update. I just submitted a fix, but if you can't wait, 10.3 packages are at http://www.gnome.org/~rodrigo/rpms/304399/ . They should work for FACTORY also ('rpm -Uvh --force' to allow the "version" downgrade), so if you install them, please let me know if they work or not for you. -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
