[opensuse-factory] Not working install-options in right-click service menu konqueror confusing.
by M9. 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Now that the buildservice has got their 1-Click install, things are changed. Earlier i noticed that the service entries in the right-click menu in konqueror,did/do not run the desired option. But they are still there, why is that than? Personaly i find these options very comfortable, if they work. Finding a downloaded rpm with the mouse is easier than in cli (you have to know the exact name) Have found it imediate action can be taken: Right click actions: install with: whatever pkgmngr you want: smart. zypper, Yast2. iac yast does not use the pointed rpm, but goes online to get one that is allready installed, and installs it again. I think this is kind of stupid behaviour. If it looks, it must see that the version it wants to install, allready is installed, and say that. But the most stupid i find that it cannot install the rpm i pointed. Because the konqueror menus are used very frequent, it is obvious that options presented there should work, otherwise they should be removed. These things disturb me quite a while now, because it is realy time robbing to follow these options to get nowhere. Also my patience is tested very seriously that way. What i tell here is objective experience, as a normal user experiences, if he/she wants to something as installing a package to replace one that does not work... Maybe a thing to consider sometime.. ;-) - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.

[opensuse-factory] Install dependencies
by Ken Schneider 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

During the course of installing software sometimes additional software needs to be installed due to dependencies. Example I select program "Y" to be installed and it needs program "Z" installed to satisfy a dependency. If I change my mind and decide *not* to install program "Y" the installer still installs program "Z". If several programs have been selected for install there is no way to tell if program "Z" is needed or not. Is there any way this can be fixed? Should I open a enhancement request? -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Problem booting a new hard drive with openSUSE 10.3
by Sid Boyce 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

# cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.0 (X86-64) Alpha0 VERSION = 11.0 1. Used rsync to backup my ext3 320G SATA HD that's getting full to a jfs SATA 500G drive, / and swap on each. 2. Swapped over drive cables so the new one now becomes /dev/sdb and the old one /dev/sdc. /dev/sda is a 250G IDE I use as /ftp and swap. 3. Booted up with the 10.3 x86_64 DVD. # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev # mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc # mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys # rm /mnt/etc/mtab* # cp /proc/mounts /mnt/etc/mtab (mtab is 0 bytes) # chroot /mnt /bin/bash # grub-install /dev/sdb (looks good "/ jfs", result "success") # less /etc/fstab /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_MAXTOR_STM35006_6QG0YKMR-part1 / jfs defaults 1 1 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_MAXTOR_STM35006_6QG0YKMR-part2 swap swap defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 /dev/sda1 /ftp ext3 defaults 0 0 From /boot/grub/menu.lst ========================= gfxmenu (hd1,0)/boot/message title 2.6.24-rc3-git5-smp kernel /boot/2.6.24-rc3-git5-smp root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_MAXTOR_STM35006_6QG0YKMR-part1 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/sdb2 splash=silent showopts elevator=cfq initrd /boot/initrd2.6.24-rc3-git5-smp # o /boot/grub/device.map (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb # ls /boot/grub device.map fat_stage1_5~ jfs_stage1_5 menu.lst.old~ reiserfs_stage1_5~ stage2.old vstafs_stage1_5~ device.map.old ffs_stage1_5 jfs_stage1_5~ menu.lst_SAV stage1 stage2.old~ xfs_stage1_5 e2fs_stage1_5 ffs_stage1_5~ menu.lst minix_stage1_5 stage1~ ufs2_stage1_5 xfs_stage1_5~ e2fs_stage1_5~ iso9660_stage1_5 menu.lst~ minix_stage1_5~ stage2 ufs2_stage1_5~ fat_stage1_5 iso9660_stage1_5~ menu.lst.old reiserfs_stage1_5 stage2~ vstafs_stage1_5 Rebooted.

I rebuilt the kernel on the chrooted / and did a fresh mkinitrd, but I get exactly the same when I reboot. I've even removed the 320G SATA ext3 drive and done it all again, no luck. Can't figure out what the trouble is, filesystems mismatch, like you can't use a jfs HD backed up from an ext3 HD? grub is the same on both HD's, so is mkinitrd, gcc, etc., etc., everything got rsync'd across. Back on the original ext3 HD as /dev/sdb1, everything works. title 2.6.24-rc3-git5-smp kernel /boot/2.6.24-rc3-git5-smp root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD3200AAKS-_WD-WCAPZ1455963-part1 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/sdb2 splash=silent showopts elevator=cfq initrd /boot/initrd2.6.24-rc3-git5-smp Any ideas?
