[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?

[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] Glibc 2.7
by Jan Engelhardt 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

Hi, is it still possible to put Glibc 2.7 into opensuse 11? It has been released in October already so I really think it should be in - I am especially anticipating it for the SHA-256/512 crypt! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Is it possible to completely do without Gnome?
by M9. 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I upgraded all pkgs manualy choosen.. When trying to get rid of gnome, this was impossible... Very anoying, to have to install pkgs and apps to your system, you never use, just to fullfill deps. Is there a way to check which gnome specific pkgs are realy needed to run suse? I am satisfied with KDE and if xfce is dependable on gnome, i will get rid of it also. I want to run a 'gnomeclean' KDE environment. Is this possible? (strange that these have to be mixed to function anyway.) This way i am forced to 'check' gnome also, which i do not want. It is silly, that it is not possible to update a system, due to an invalid DE, one not wants to use, don't you agree? - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.

[opensuse-factory] Splitting manpages out of package is *fundamentally* wrong
by Joerg Mayer 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Hi, I'd just discuss something that I got hit with: The PolicyKit package no longer contains the manpages - if you want them you need to install PolicyKit-doc as well. IMO, this is a *relly* *really* ... *really* wrong decision, which was obviously made because of *build* reasons: * Sat Aug 11 2007 aj(a)suse.de - Make separate spec file for PolicyKit-doc so that PolicyKit does not require TeX for building. While it may in may cases be OK to not include additional documentation in the base package, the manpages need to stay there - no matter what that means for the build process. ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer(a)loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
