[opensuse-factory] No blender on factory
by CyberOrg 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi There is no Blender on Factory, but there is blender-doc package, any idea if it is dropped or just an oversight? http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/index.jsp?searchTerm=blender&distro=SUS… Blender is going to be slightly more popular as there is a compiz plugin in works that allows users to put any blender model inside the cube. http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5683 Thanks. -J --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Check "installed" first if zypper remove is used
by James Griffin 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

If the command remove is given then it would seem to be more efficient to first check the installed rpms before loading the repositories. Test to see if there is any thing to remove. This is especially true if one tends to type package names incorrectly. Regards and thanks making a good distribution even better, Jim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE-11.0-Alpha0-KDE-x86_64 upgrade and a laptop encounter
by Sid Boyce 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

I booted from the CD and chose upgrade. My Acer 1501LCe laptop was already at 11.0-Alpha0 just needed the latest from Factory. * Got as far as the upgrade summary, then noticed one repo was not what was required. * Rebooted and copied across the repo from another x86_64 box. * Rebooted, but only got as far as selecting the Factory repos when suddenly the fan really revved up and the laptop powered off. Left it that way overnight. * New day and another try, same problem from cold. Rebooted with acpi off, couldn't get the network configured - a message saying it couldn't write the config, this time the fan does not speed up and it stays up. With acpi, I am back to the power off situation. * Next I booted from the openSUSE-10.3-GM-KDE-x86_64 CD and upgraded from Factory, ending up with /etc/SuSE-release saying 10.3. "zypper dup" and dealing with a few dependency problems around gnome-keyring and finally ended up at 11.0-Alpha0. * I have one remaining problem on all 11.0 Alpha0 boxen and that is with YaST (bug #350809 refers) - if a dependency problem arises, I get a tree view with no way of selecting any of the actions needed to resolve the conflict and the only way is to CANCEL and mark the package as KEEP. Selecting a new repository, it doesn't change to it until you click on another one. Nice GUI, shame about the disfunctionality, but guess it will come right one day. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] Update channel for patches or broken pkgs?
by M9. 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, It might sound stupid and... Maybe i am mistaken, or dreamed it, but was there not an url for to update broken factory pkgs? If there was or is such a 'channel',or url, would the one who knows the adress please put it in this list? The reason i ask this, is to be able to repair broken apps, like Yast or smart. Some pkgs where these depend on are broken, and thus unuseable... tia. - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.

[opensuse-factory] X broke in 10.3!
by Andrew Joakimsen 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

I have an HP Compaq nc6220 laptop display resolution 1400x1050. Intel GMA900 graphics. I praised SuSE always in previous releases because it was the only distribution that correctly supported the resolution out of the box with no hacks needed. Now in 10.3 it broke. To make the resolution work each time I reload x server I need to use RandR to set the resolution. It defaults to 1152x786 58hz. When I run SaX test it also says "Screen (0) 1152 x 786" however everything is configured right. Why did this break??? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] installation-images for ppc
by Toni Harbaugh-Blackford 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

Folks- The installation-images package for ppc has not been updated for a while. In particular it does not contain the patch 346872 to libzypp, although that patch is in the current libzypp package *outside* of installation-images. What's up with installation-images on ppc?
