[opensuse-factory] Multimedia Key presets
by Dominique Leuenberger 16 Feb '07

Hi, On my notebook (probably unknown, brand Littlebit Luzon X22), whenever I set it up, I have to configure the shortcuts for volume up and down, play and the like to work. Is there any way I could let this incorporate in the base installation? I guess the model is not to different from others. All these functions are done using the Fn-Key and some numbers.

[opensuse-factory] 10.3 - 1 cd install
by jdd 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

I installed 10.3 with the first cd only on a free disk partition without real problems. continued with factory/kde so far so good. noticed: I use to make the boot from the root partition not to disturb the present install. When, one go to the relevant page, one have a choice of positions (/boot, /, /root...) It's possible to tick several (even all) the choices. Is this a feature? surprising. When the install reboots... it reboots the default install, not the install one, so I had to use grub to go to the new installed distro. In fact I had already a 10.0 Grub entry to this partition and this entry works perfectly for 10.3, so little problem. but just in case I had none, isn't it possible to make YaST/install reboot the very place it installed grub?? at least to finish the install. The "pattern" choice for software is great. I installed the minimal text packages and only one cd was necessary _very good_ for the second start I had YaST/Ncurse. It is quite normal with a text install :-) On the way to continue the install to kde, I noticed I forgot to setup the install source. I was unable to "Interrupt" the software install once started (had to go root and kill or wait 1/4 hour the end of cd run) nearly all. Just a notice: web site is green and distro background is blue. Curious, no??? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Le manuel d'optique de Lucien Dodin http://lesprismes.free.fr/optique/index.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Very nice ! But one *important* thing seems to be lacking from this announcement. What about Lessons for Lizards ? Was it included ? -Alexey --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Samba and SuSEfirewall
by Alberto Passalacqua 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Thinking to possible improvements for 10.3, I thought it would be nice to have this bug solved. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243809 It worked in 9.3 (if I remember right), and it's actually an obstacle for new users who try to configure samba, do that properly in Yast, but can't browse the local network even after selecting "Open firewall ports" in the Samba server yast tool.

[opensuse-factory] create_package_descr
by Anders Norrbring 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

All of a sudden, my create_package_descr fails to complete.. I haven't edited anything by myself, so if there has been changes introduced, they've been made by the 10.2 system auto-update. Can someone please advice? # create_package_descr -d rpm/ -o setup/descr/ -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV using settings: datadirs: rpm/ languages: english output dir: setup/descr/ is not a directory: ignoring extra_provides: setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV Can't call method "size" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/create_package_descr line 171. .................................................................................. -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

[opensuse-factory] 10.2 Frozen stiff after upgrade
by Hans Witvliet 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi all, Two days ago, at work, i upgraded a IBM-notebook that was installed with the 10.2-dvd. That particular machines was allways left non-connected, so when it was connected to the out-side world it discoverd that about 120 patches were available. After some time (ahum) most patches were installed (except the java-patches, that failed). Next day i booted the system, but it hang during startup, without any clear indication where of why (one time during ntfs, next time during wireless-setup, each time somewhere else. Fearing the worst, i let it run memtest for several hours, nothing came up. Booted the "other" OS; disk check, nothing wrong. Booted in resque mode from dvd, and performed filesystem check, nothing wrong. But still could not boot any more. Still system frooze stiff. AFAIK, there was no kernel-patch and the initrd was left unchanged before/after the upgrade. Because i had work to do, i re-installed the notebook again, hooked it up the net and had a suspicious look at the patches. As one of the patches involved lvm (which i allways use), I decided to install all, except lvm (and java that still failed to install) Installation and upgrade went well, untill the boot Is this an isolated incident, or is it something for bugzilla?

[opensuse-factory] tiny-nvidia-installer removed from factory
by Jonh Arson 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

I wasn't what you can call happy when i found out this little software was removed from factory (and even less so when after reopening it 3 or 4 time the bug was marked as private). No real explanation given. This was by far the easiest and quickest way to get the Nvidia driver up and running and i demand explanation. WONTFIX, build it in the BS. WTF! there is no use to the package if its not right on the cd ... Now if you don't wanna include it in the default selection this is totally understandable, but why totally rip the package off ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] i8k support on x86_64
by Ciro Iriarte 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Well, a few days ago a opened a ticket on bugzilla about a missing module (i8k) in the x86_64 build of the kernel (i'm running 10.2 on a Dell Inspiron 6400). People there indicated me that that module is not supported on x86_64. I sent a mail to the kernel module developer hoping to have an answer to validate my claim. It turns to be that it's 32bit centry, BUT he sent me a patch reported to work. Is it possible to include it on Factory (even better if it could be backported to 10.2 :) Module: i8k What does: Provides support to Dell laptop sensors Developer: Massimo Dal Zotto <dz(a)debian.org> Thanks a lot Ciro
