/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 change the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION
4-make
5-make modules_install
6-INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install
7-fix the resulting broken /boot/grub/menu.lst

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 rescue
modes apparently failed for a similar or the same reason. Is it possible in
Factory to do a rescue? If so, how?

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 (and others, if present)?

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 done is to install a minimal openSUSE 10.2 on a VMWare
machine and then get all the rpm installed. It works, but there should
a better way I think.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
At Novell we've been planning a special internal event that will run
this week, from June 25th to 29th. We're calling it Hack Week.
During Hack Week, our entire Linux engineering team -- hundreds of
people -- will be working on whatever Linux or open source projects
interest them. Everyone will work alone or in teams, on existing open
source projects or new ideas of their own. No one will tell them what
or what not to do -- it's a free week for free hacking, driven by
individual passion.
To make it easier for our hackers to find and publicize their projects,
we've created an Idea Pool web site where we've all spent the last
couple of weeks sharing ideas and finding collaborators. This web site
is open to the public here:
http://idea.opensuse.org/
Although this is a Novell event, we're running it with full
transparency. You'll be able to follow our progress and projects on the
Idea Pool web site, either with the blog on the front page where we'll
post videos from our seven main engineering sites[1], or by watching
individual project pages.
We invite you to participate where you can. If you'd like to help with
a project, feel free to add a comment to the discussion section of the
page and volunteer your support.
We hope that you'll at least enjoy watching Hack Week progress. If it
is successful, we hope to run it again sometime soon, with even more
participation from the community.
If you're interested in following along, you might check the following
sites first:
- Hack Week Overview: http://idea.opensuse.org/content/hackweek
- Tags: http://idea.opensuse.org/content/blog/welcome-to-the-idea-pool
- Idea Pool code of conduct: http://idea.opensuse.org/content/etiquette
- Flickr pool: http://www.flickr.com/groups/hackweek/pool/
During the week, we'll use the channel #opensuse-hackweek on
irc.freenode.net for general discussion (project-specific discussion
will find its own venue). Hope to see you there!
Happy hacking,
Nat
[1] Beijing, Bangalore, Prague, Nuernberg, Boston, Provo, Portland are
the main sites

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:
1. As I didn't want to corrupt my working installation I thought it would be a
good idea to install grub on an USB-stick. The setup told the it was unable
to install grub on the stick, nevertheless later I found all the files which
normally will be copied to /boot on the stick.
2. In the fstab the mountpoint for the root-directory and the swap-directory
are created as
/dev/by-id/scsi-SATA_FUJITSU_MHVxxxx-partX /
/dev/by-id/scsi-SATA_FUJITSU_MHVxxxx-partY swap
on the other side one has to use /dev/sdaX in order to tell the system which
partition it has to use for s2disk. I suppose if the complete installation
runs correctly, this is written correctly in the menu.lst. But as I had to do
it manually it was a little bit confusing that the system doesn't use
anymore the hdxY-notation and to find the difference between fstab
and menu.lst.
3. On OSS 10.0 the installation-routine recognized the fact that the
(video)BIOS of the Acer TM 661 is defective and lacking the correct
resolution information. It automatically installed 855resolution from Alain
Poirier. OSS 10.2 didn't do that nor does it 10.3.
4. The setup for the x-server writes an xorg.conf-file with the
driver 'intel'. This driver doesn't work with the Acer Travelmate 661. I had
to change the driver to i810. This is a little bit annoying - for a newbie it
will be desastrous. By the way: s2ram still doesn't work correctly (see
bugzilla #230123).
Best regards
Michael

Intel Centrino Mainboard 1400 MHz / RAM 764 MB

Hi all
I download the last OpenOffice_org package (2.2. 99.211-2) from factory
to my Alpha5.
Well I has surprised much to find changes on it that force me to install
other packages like OpenOffice_org-base,OpenOffice_org-calc,
OpenOffice_org-draw,OpenOffice_org-impress,OpenOffice_org-math,
OpenOffice_org-writer.
This packages are not on factory repo. (I already sent the bug
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=288342)
There are any note talking about this changes?
Regards

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?

How do I make those microscopic windows with the mouse droppings stop
popping up on the KDE desktop when apps/windows get closed? If I can't
turn them off, how can I make them default to a useful size with legible
text?
