[opensuse-factory] build update?
by Claes Bäckström 19 May '07

19 May '07

Hi. I often use the build tool in opensuse when I package tools and utilities for customers. But lately I have had a lot of problems with it. Tried both the version in Factory (2006.11.24-19) and the one in buildservice (2007.05.10-3.2). Neither of them have a config file for building on opensuse 10.3 (factory that is). The latest version is for opensuse 10.2 and I try to use that but I hit some problems, with cracklib: expansion error have choice for cracklib-dict needed by cracklib: cracklib-dict-full cracklib-dict-small and with bzip2: initializing rpm db... rpm: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Also had some errors with vim before but I don't remember the exact problem now. Is the "build system" for factory starting to be stable (how it should look like that is) so we could have a config file for build for 10.3? Warm Regards, Claes Backstrom --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Using Instlux: issues setting up SUSE from Windows
by Alexey Eremenko 19 May '07

19 May '07

hi all ! I have decided to testcase Instlux (SUSE 10.3 alpha4) - setup from Windows. A testcase that tested a possible situation in which I have got the DVD ISO of SUSE, have Windows XP, but have no CD-ROM drive. This situation can take place if the ISO was copied from friend's hard disk directly, but I have not bought DVD-RW to use that ISO properly. This case also simulates no network or Internet connectivity whatsoever. Offline setup. The results: Instlux itself worked perfectly, installed GRUB for Windows, SUSE kernel, and basic setup routine, and modified NTLDR. The problems I got have to do with SUSE basic setup routine - it's loaded before Yast, and has insufficient functionality for easy setup of SUSE from Windows. "Basic Setup Routine" looks like Blue menu with several installation options. 1. How-to mount ISO (that resides on NTFS) from within SUSE setup? That is: I found no way to mount the ISO that resides on an NTFS partition, so I used an ugly workaround: booted to Windows, used Nero ImageDrive, and copied the contents of the ISO to normal Windows directory. A proper way would be that the "Basic Setup Routine" loop-mounted the ISO. 2. No ability to browse for files on partitions: the "Basic Setup Routine" gave me a way to enter strings, but that's all about it. Basically, if I don't remember my directories (or write down to paper), I have no way to install SUSE from Windows. the "Basic Setup Routine" should offer me a way to browse on my directories. 3. No ability to format /dev/sdX as swap and use it right away. I needed to either increase RAM or boot into rescue system and do tricks... (manually partition and format as swap) Since I was testing on a VM, I just increased the RAM. But that's ugly solution again. the "Basic Setup Routine" should offer me a way to repartition my hard disk, and use one of those partitions as swap. Note: the above are serious usability issues, and I consider to open bug reports. Which category should I assign to those: Installation or Usability ? -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] System Update: On scene again but in a bit different mask ^_^
by Lukas Ocilka 18 May '07

18 May '07

Hi, Some time earlier I had to disable (or at least hide) the System Update functionality because it had been just a tool for breaking the system. I've enabled the functionality again (partly because of Hans-Peter Holler's request, bugzilla #274064). But there are some more limitations how this tool can be used: * All versions of installation sources need to match the version of installed system. Sources, that do not provide their description are ignored. * System Update has been renamed to FACTORY Update * The tool has a very limited support, it *can* and probably will break your system time to time. Enjoy! Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic

[opensuse-factory] php5 init file bug? (10.0)
by jdd 18 May '07

18 May '07

Hello :-) Before opening a bugzilla bugreport, I would know if this is only me or not. I had the following problem: * installing the CMS "guppy" (http://www.freeguppy.org/) I had a blank (empty) home page. After many thought, we found the solution. the /etc/apache2/php.ini file read: ------------- ; UNIX: "/path1:/path2" ;include_path = ".:/php/includes" include_path = "/usr/share/php5" ; ; Windows: "\path1;\path2" ;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes" ------- the "include_path" line is wrong. One must simply use the commented unix line include_path = ".:/php/includes" AFAIK I never modified this file myself and I already run mediawiki and other php scripts without problem, only this guppy script failed (and now works) see here http://dodin.org/test/index.php jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] PHP - tales from the crypt
by Stephan von Krawczynski 17 May '07

17 May '07

Dear all, please let me draw your attention to some problems with and around PHP. 10.2 delivers only PHP5 on the isos. One might think that this is completely sufficient as PHP5 is thought to be mostly compatible to PHP4 and earlier. We tried that, namely an upgrade from former suse with PHP4 to 10.2 with PHP5. We had to find out that almost all php scripts and applications used by our customers do not work with the PHP4-version implemented in PHP5. It is obvious that you cannot start talking to hundreds of customers about lots of scripts that they themselves do not understand - just downloaded them from some place. The reason I'd like to share this dead-end experience with you is to revive PHP4 in 10.3, at least. I found PHP4 for 10.2 on software.opensuse.org, which is great - and brings up a much bigger problem. The PHP people unfortunately managed to screw things up. It seems impossible at this time to install both PHP4 and PHP5 as modules in apache 2. Of course one might say "so what, use cgi interface instead!", but unfortunately that tilts even the basic security configured with "open_basedir". The whole thing is quite a mess... It is obvious that the PHP maintainers know the problems, because they continue to maintain both versions right now. It would be a great thing if PHP4 for 10.2/10.3 could be made working/installable together with PHP5, which is not the case right now, they are conflicting. Anyone here experienced in this field? -- Regards and thanks for the good work on opensuse, Stephan von Krawczynski --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Fan issue with Sony Vaio vgn-fe41m
by Alberto Passalacqua 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hello, a friend of mine tried to install openSUSE on a Sony Vaio vgn-fe41m, but he has an issue with the temperature, which appears only under Linux. Under Windows Vista, the temperature is in the range 35-40°C, while under Linux the minimum temperature is always around 54°C and the fans are never started before 60°C are reached. Any ideas on how to solve this issue? Thanks in advance, Alberto --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
