[opensuse-factory] Are there a elfutils package for openSuSE?
by eshsf 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Hello, I look for a elfutils package for openSuSE10.2 because I want to use a libdwarf. However, I am not yet found it, but on fedora. So, my question is: Why isn't it in openSUSE? Thanks, eshsf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, Sorry to all, i've not good understood the period: "and not longer part of the openSUSE distribution", :-) It's a really good news, if the 10.1 worked bad for me the only reason was only ZEN, the 10.2 is good, the updater applet in KDE works and not make a unclean system, for the direct use of YaST. Better solution for better 10.3 ;-) Best Regards Vincenzo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Since the last updates from the factory tree the login into my wlan using wpa doesn t work any longer with an user login. As root the login works. I had this problems some weeks ago but after some updates it seemed to be solved.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 10.3 alpha 3 and NVIDIA driver
by Thomas Meindl 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hi to all, I just wanded to ask if somebody was able to install the Nvidia driver 9755 on alpha 3. If I try, the wrong directory tree is chosen by the installer, that means that all files get copied into /usr/X11R6/lib64 and so on, instead of /usr/lib64 . I manually copy all files to the - what I think - right directories, but then I get a white screen of death with compiz. So it seems I'm doing something wrong. Feedback would be appreciated, have a nice time, tM --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] linux-kernel-headers
by Nikolay Derkach 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hello, I wonder what is the purpose of linux-kernel-headers package? It's a bit outdated in comprasion with kernel-source package. That's why it's impossible to make a kernel module for nvidia drivers or vmware. But still it has all needed headers for those packages, am I wrong? -- Regards, Nikolay Derkach

[opensuse-factory] OpenSuSE Alpha 3 on VMWare
by Christoph-Erdmann Pfeiler 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Gentle readers, yesterday i tried an installation of OpenSuSE Alpha 3, downloaded as CDs the same day, 32 bit within a VMWare Virtual Infrastructure Server, Version 2.0.1, Build 40644. I used the predefined settings of SLES 10 1. the default setting of VMWare with LSI Logic SCSI adapter failed to detect the hard disk, the alternative BusLogic worked flawlessly, 2. the default installation with KDE was terminated by an error, which i cannot describe more detailed, because the resulting installation could not be brought up to boot properly ("repair" didn't provide a bootable installation), this was reliable reproduceable, tried 3 times, root login was impossible (no password set - which "genius" invented this "security feature" ?!?), didn't try the rescue system, 3. the vim package produced an error during installation, mentioning a skriptlet failing, 4. the "other" installation with "text" worked flawlessly, i was able to install most of the stuff (i didn't try Gnome due to space limitations) after completing the first minimal installation.

[opensuse-factory] java plugin
by Gregg Nicholas 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

I'm aware of Most Annoying Bugs (252510) and the workaround posted at http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2007-03/msg00373.html The workaround was working for me on Alpha2 x86_64. Can't seem to make it work on Alpha3. Perhaps we need new instructions now that firefox is 64-bit? p.s. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but blaming Sun for this problem may be acceptable during Alpha and Beta phases but if it isn't fixed by the end of Beta, people will simply change to a different distro. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] tla package is way outdated
by Horst Günther Burkhardt III 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hey. It has come to my attention that the version of tla being shipped with openSuSE 10.2 and -factory is the same. Not only that, both are the same as the version that shipped with SuSE 10.0 - a shameful state of affairs. tla-1.3.3 is long deprecated, there is NO reason it should continue to be packaged with current distributions. I propose that OpenSuSE packages tla-1.3.5, which has been stable for quite some time. On tla related issues, would anyone like to binary package SXEmacs (http://www.sxemacs.org/) for OpenSuSE? (no, I'm not asking as an SXEmacs representative. it's just an idea.) -- /"Horst Günther Burkhardt III"-------------------\ | There's no place like localhost (127.0.0.1) | | http://peanuthorst.livejournal.com/ <- blog | \-----------------------------<horst(a)sxemacs.org>/

[opensuse-factory] KOTD 2.6.21-rc6-git1-20070408211613-default x86_64 and parallel port
by Markus Koßmann 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

I tried KOTD 2.6.21-rc6-git1-20070408211613-default on a SUSE-10.2 system and noticed that the parallel port driver seems to be broken. It garbles the output. A cat some_asciifile > /dev/lp0 gives unreadable output on my Epson Stylus Color 880. And any other try to print something using cups doesn't work, too. Switching back to 2.6.18.8-0.1-default fixes the problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] error messages of the package manager stack considered harmful
by Cristian Rodriguez R. 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi folks: Errors and informative messages that comes from zypp/yast and related stuff are just ..well ..plain horrible..:-( In this mail I attempted to summarize the problems (although there are many more..and are easy to find) the main issue is this stuff is not user friendly and people gets confused... 1. zypper emits this messages when the connection to the server timeouts. Please insert media [sic] [ Curl error (huh ?) http://server... - I **do know** it uses Curl but..is the user supposed to be informed about that too? also I "cannot insert media" when the repository is an URI, wording is incorrect .. in that case I expect something like "cannot access installation source $URI..." ( nope, "metadata" ,"resolvable" or whatever geeky wording that requires to know what ) the low-level continues with... Error code : Unrecognized error --> oops, error not handled ;P Error message : connect() timed out --> What the &$&%/&%... who else than programmers know what connect() function call means ? <humor> maybe add to it , "if you dont known what connect() or CURL is, install the glibc-devel and curl-devel packages and RTFM" </humor> 2. probably the most infamous one is thrown when yast or other tools are accessign the zypp database... "A ZYpp transaction is already in progress." [.....] and then what x_X ? again, I do know what a "ZYpp transaction" is, but this one is very confuse, it does not tell the user what to do and why "is already in progress" also, Im not sure if the end user really needs to know what a ZYPP transaction is.. probably soemthing like "$SOFTWARENAME is already open and working with the package manager database...[more..] "... 3. zypper is too silent and combined with the slowness it gaves the impression to the user as it were hanging, unfortunately it lacks of some progress dialog and the -v is too verbose.. :-( 4. Some of the "Y" and "N" dialogs are awfully broken, in problem number 1 , there is a final "retry" dialog that appears.. press Y .. it does nothing :) also if you press no..other low-level I/O error messages appear... in other situations if you type other data rather than "Y" or "N" it does not recover and hangs foreva... 5. In Yast, when a package is locked and there is a conflict a popup dialog appears telling me in one of its options "unlock all resolvables".. geeky wording again :) shouldnt it say "unlock all needed packages" or something adecuate to a graphical UI designed to be used for people that does not have a **single clue** how Zypp/yast/whatever works internally ? 6. Stuff in zypp the throws exceptions : We all know this is useful for debugging.. but why show it to users ? why not a simple dialog: "An error ocurred : (short **clear** message) \n Error details has been written to **/unique/filename/of/the/errormessages-backtrace.txt please open a bug report attaching this file to the report.+(an accept dialog where applicable)". In general, everytime you see the errors messages, think " does the user will need to visit the wiki or read some manual to understand this ? " if the answer is yes, then the error message is bad.;-) There are **many** other examples, this mail only attempts to raise awareness of this general problem. Just my $2 chilean pesos. Cristian. ps: I already filled bug reports about some of this issues but no sign of activity till today.

[opensuse-factory] GNOME Updater applet
by Alberto Passalacqua 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hello, I've just seen the design of the new updater applet for GNOME, and I really appreciate it (still have to try ;-)) I have one suggestion about the icons however. I'd replace the opensuseupdater icons currently used also for the GNOME applet with the tango icons used by zen-updater, which better integrates in the look of GNOME. What do you think?

[opensuse-factory] insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs
by Felix Miata 10 Apr '07

I sent this to the list last Thursday, but never got it back, nor a reply. :-( This message keeps popping up at shell prompt when running various commands unrelated to either cups or smbfs. What does it mean, and how do I make it go away? -- "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.
