[opensuse-factory] gpg is dead. Long live gpg
by Klaus Singvogel 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Hello, we're (Lukáš Tinkl and myself) want to stop supporting gpg (aka. GnuPG). Reason is, that developing of gpg has stopped (only in bugfix mode), and use gpg2 instead, as it seems to be getting a stable version now. Therefore we are doing a switch in openSUSE 10.3 RSN: - gpg will be dropped - gpg2 will be renamed to gpg We didn't noticed any problems regarding backward compatibility, but we weren't able to do verey single test case. :-) If your package contains a interface toward gpg, like YaST Online-Update mode, please check this move out. Please fill out bugreports on bugzilla, if you think there are. Thanks for your patience.

[opensuse-factory] Aqsis package for inclusion within openSUSE 10.3 (factory) repo
by Aqsis Team 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Hi all, I've been working with Marcus (darix) on your BuildService team to create an official (open)SUSE package for our open source rendering solution - Aqsis. http://software.opensuse.org/download/graphics:/rendering Though the packages will remain on the BS for older (open)SUSE releases we would like to have Aqsis included within your official repository for the forthcoming 10.3 release. http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss Our efforts are both stable and tested and we're happy to maintain this package for the necessary duration of your release (currently 2 active maintainers). This would be great help to our project as well as much appreciated, complimenting our existing packages within the official Fedora and Mandriva repos. Many thanks in advance, Leon Tony Atkinson Aqsis Team Member www.aqsis.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

by Krupanský Rastislav 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Hello 1.Why is in openSUSE alpha hardisk called /dev/sda not /dev/hda? 2.It´s only for alpha versions, or will it be in final openSUSE 10.3?Now i don´t know how command i can use if i want to mount usb keys.I´m confused from this(and i think that i´m not alone), becuase others distro use /dev/hda only suse use /dev/sda 3.I´m not sure, but purpose is libata for pata and sata ports?And both have got enabled dma automatically?Then it is needed kernel 2.6.15 or higher? Please somebody for explanation. Regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] no sound for $USER in 10.3Alpha5
by Clayton 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Today I decided to give 10.3 Alpha5 a whirl (the small Gnome install version). Installed nicely and easily... a couple of minor errors (autologin error on creating initial user and XBD errr every time I log in) I still need to poke around in Bugzilla for these first... But on to the subject.. sound. This bug was around in 10.2, and never solved (for me)... and it's still there in 10.3. After installing there is no sound for the first $USER. The sound hardware is detected and set up correctly, but $USER has no access to the sound devices until I manually add the Audio group to the $USER. I've poked around in the various bugs on this like: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=267232 which is Closed... with the resolution: "this is not necessary because we are using resmgr which hands out ACLs to the sound devices." Another related bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=173793 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219366 Resolved... apparently "fixed in Beta 2" and apparently also this bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=201055 Well.... I have yet to see this work in 10.2 over dozens of installs on varying hardware.... and it's STILL there in 10.3 in a clean install... There are loads of bugs on this exact same problem, and every single one (that I've read so far) seems to be closed/resolved. So.... what's up? Am I just unlucky or something? Why do I still see this in 10.3Alpha5 if it has been fixed? If resmgr is supposed to be handling device permissions... why isn't it doing it's job on every install I do? I'm off to install the KDE version now to see if I get the same results. I have a feeling the first user created will not have access to any sound devices again....

[opensuse-factory] KIWI looks promising
by Alexey Eremenko 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

hi all ! I must say that The KIWI system looks promising... I'll have to dig a bit to find all the rough edges yet... I like the way this concept is built ! I like that it uses single approach for both PXE boot and LiveDVDs... I hope to see Yast-KIWI integration in the future, so some other sort of GUI to control those features. So this technology is really NEW. nice. AFAIK it is available from Alpha5, and may be a very solid addition to openSUSE 10.3. If this will work, it will be one of the biggest changes from 10.2. I still haven't tested it, but I hope to do it soon... But I already have a question: Is SUSE's "KIWI" similar to Fedora's "Stateless" in concept? Are those projects related ? -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

I was quite intrigued by Emacs 22.1, so I decided to also make use of these (Emacs 22.1 related packages) on a computer running 10.1 (*), but when I tried to also install the updated version of nxml-mode, I got this: [2007-06-15 10:47:02] root@HayekJ # rpm -v --install /usr/local/src/tmp/nxml-mode-20041004-74.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: Mule-UCS conflicts with nxml-mode-20041004-74.noarch Alright, I searched (Google!) the web for this message, and I found something apparently related, saying Mule-UCS and nxml-mode are incompatible. Strange enough, there is no package Mule-UCS on that computer. Anybody any idea how to get rid of that conflict or at least of the message? Yes, I know, upgrading to 10.3 or 10.2 from 10.1 would be a way out, but that is not option on that computer right now. All the best! J. (*) Pls don't tell me, that was very, very unreasonable -- I know that myself. So that's a waste of time right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

During installation of Alpha5 I am asked if I wish to disable automatic login in the following message:- "The automatic login feature is enabled for user ... Now you have added a new user. Disable automatic login?"
