[opensuse-factory] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 50

Hi! We still have some 10.3 issues at hand I have little time for, so they are pending - but I hope I'll finish them before my christmas vacation: * release fixed live CD * release repair mini ISO for both I have not really a good idea how to push them though There are also some 11.0 issues going on: * Alpha0 was released with quite some changes against 10.3 * Installation has seen some rework (and alpha0 some bugs due to it) * zypper got sat-solver integration that is still work in progress (subscribe to zypp-devel if you're interested in helping there) * there is still no roadmap, but it's worked on As some may have noticed - or not, Alpha0 did not come with addon media and I'm not aware of anyone complaining. I'm wondering if they are worth our time and mirror space, but I guess we'll experiment with the next alphas to come :) Greetings, Stephan -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[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] buildservice project for iwlwifi (OpenSUSE 10.3)
by Helmut Schaa 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hi, as we would like to ship an update for iwlwifi for 10.3 I created a buildservice-project at [1] which contains the version we'd like to put out as an update. Everybody interested is invited to do some testing with the driver. Just one remark: As of 1.2.0 the module (iwl4965 or iwl3945) should be loaded with "disable_hw_scan=0" instead of "disable_hw_scan=1". Just change it in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi. Thanks, Helmut [1] http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/driver:/wireless:/10.3/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Help Wanted: Move YaST tutorials from forgeftp.novell.com to openSUSE WIKI
by Lukas Ocilka 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi, I've added a new idea to idea.opensuse.org | Move YaST tutorials from forgeftp.novell.com to openSUSE WIKI | http://idea.opensuse.org/content/ideas/move-yast-tutorials-from-forgeftp.no… We are currently working on implementing features and that's why the documentation is a bit loosing at the end of the queue. On the other hand, moving those YaST tutorials can: * Help you to gain a respect from openSUSE community as well as from YaST developers :) ;) * Help you to understand YaST a lot more Additionally, this is not only about moving some texts somewhere else, you are expected to bring new ideas, new tutorials, you can realize your dreams :))) * * * * * More about idea.opensuse.org: It's a web/page for sharing ideas how to improve (openSUSE) Linux and also implementing those ideas. Maybe you are good designer but can't write in any programming language. Maybe you can just write in Perl or C++ and you are really good at it :) ... idea.opensuse.org is the best way to go! File an idea there or pick already filed one. * * * * * Thanks in advance Bye Lukas PS: YaST developers and their (development-related) help can be found also on IRC at irc.freenode.net, channel #yast -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic
