[opensuse-factory] Five or More?
by Keith Goggin 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

A minor point but in Alpha6 Kmenu / System / Configuration / Yast2-Install is labeled 'Five or More'. also Kmenu / System / Desktop Applet / openSUSE-Updater is labeled 'Balsa'. Do these require a bug report? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] PS2 mouse in a console
by Donn Washburn 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

I had a problem today with Alpha 5 Yast2 and a ps/2 mouse. The mouse is one of those LED 2 button wheel mouse. It worked just fine in 10.1 and previous;y in Alpha 5. However, after a reload of Alpha 5 using Yast2/Hardware/Mousse will not enable the mouse other that in the runlevel 5 KDM/GDM/XDM. After Yast2 was exited I "cd" to /etc/init.d and did "./gdm start" with no luck. I have tried changing the drivers (both drivers are ps2 or AUX). As I recall I set the gdm up in the Runlevel editor. Can you think of a reason it would not work? -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

[opensuse-factory] ndiswrapper should be included in 1-cd install
by Alberto Passalacqua 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

I think ndiswrapper should be included on 1CD install. Many users have network cards whose only possibility to work under linux is ndiswrapper. As a consequence, I think it would be of great help to provide ndiswrapper directly on the CD. With kind regards, Alberto --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] DVD torrents not effective?
by Andreas Vetter 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, the DVD torrents for Alpha6 are annoying. The i386 image stalled at 99,90%. But since 10 hours no progress for the last piece. The x86_64 image is downloading with approx 15KB/s and I have 46%. Do others have the same problem? Is it just me? With Alpha5 it was no problem. Is there any help? -- Andreas Vetter Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] when to refresh?
by Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi guys. If you read already the news on package management, there are some open issues we would like to have feedback from you. As you may know, now all operations on repositories are splitted, so you can add a repository without downloading metadata. But at some point to operate on them you need valid metadata and a binary cache. An example: zypper sa http://foo bar zypper search moo zypper install cuack for the search, you need cache, for the cache you need metadata. Should ZYpper exit and tell the user to refresh, or should it ask the user whether to refresh without exiting? In the case of YaST, should it download and refresh when adding the repos in inst_source, or should it do it during startup of the package selector? -- Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett Novell :: SUSE R&D, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Trying to upgrade from alpha 5 to alpha 6 and I'm getting a lot of curl errors with an unrecognized error code. Appears to be an ftp error. Never had this on all of the previous alpha upgrades.
