[opensuse-factory] modules gobble disk space with built kernel
by Felix Miata 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

/lib/modules/(stock2.6.21kernel)# du -s 60804 . /lib/modules/(my2.6.21kernel)# du -s 538292 . That's a 785% increase in space consumed by my modules over stock modules. Does that happen for anyone building their own Factory kernel? Can a more normal space consumption be made to happen by a mere mortal kernel building novice like myself? What I did was: 1-apply the patch from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7513 2-zcat /proc/config.gz > .config 3-make menuconfig to add smbfs and … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Can't Rescue 10.3
by Felix Miata 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Friday I determined that 4096 was an inappropriate blocksize for my non-libata hda19 Factory / partition. I booted 10.1 from hda7 and did a cp -a on that partition to another partition, reformatted to the 1024 blocksize, then did cp -a back to it. I then tried to mount and chroot to it in order to run grub-install. Grub-install failed due to the non-existent target device. Copying the hda19 device file from the 10.1 / and trying again didn't help. I tried to do a rescue installation, but both … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] brp scripts in autobuild
by andreas.hanke＠gmx-topmail.de 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hi, from various discussions in bug reports I know that brp scripts for the following are installed in autobuild: - check whether .la files have an empty dependency_libs line - check whether .la and .pc files have references to the build root - check whether .desktop files have all their icons installed Are these scripts publicly available somewhere? They are not distributed with rpm, build or osc and I could not find them anywhere else either. If not, would it be possible to publish these (… [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Check RPM packages required by a pattern.
by Samuel Partida 05 Jul '07

05 Jul '07

Hello everybody. I would like to make a minimal base system pattern for openSUSE, but as I try to leave the packages marked as required by the base system pattern and those listed on EXTRA_PROV, the installer always tell me that can't resolve all dependencies. Does anyone knows if there is an easy way to know all the required packages for a pattern? I wonder if there is a way to use ZyPP from command line over a pattern so it resolves all dependencies and get the full packages list. What I've … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Installing OSS 10.3 alpha 5 on Acer TM 661
by Michael Eschweiler 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hallo, The guys at bugzilla who care and control the bug #230668 (Suspend to disk only works once if ehci_hcd is loaded) asked me to try the s2disk on OSS 10.3 Alpha in order to find out if s2disk with the now kernel works correctly - it does, but I stumbled over some other things, which seem to work not that correct. As I am a user with very little programming experience I don't know which of this things are worth to be reported to bugzilla. Therefore I would like to comment them here: … [View More]

I have all nfs mounts on all my systems set to noauto, but since updating Factory last all accessible nfs mounts in fstab get mounted anyway. Why? -- "Respect everyone."

How do I make those microscopic windows with the mouse droppings stop popping up on the KDE desktop when apps/windows get closed?
