[opensuse-factory] modules gobble disk space with built kernel

by Felix Miata

/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 -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] Can't Rescue 10.3

by Felix Miata

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? -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] ppc buildservice

by Peter Czanik

Hello, I installed the latest factory, and I quite enjoy it, especially the part of adding repositories from the build service easily. I got just one 'little' problem: on PPC all of these repositories are empty (OK, I could probably find some 'noarch' :-) ). Any news on this? Or still 'no public info' or 'in a few months'?

[opensuse-factory] Beta 2: no more suspend2ram since update from 29th August

by Jens Nixdorf

Hi all, made a fresh install from the beta2-ISO at 25th August. Nearly everything went fine. Interesting in this case is that suspend to ram was working until last wednesday, when i made an update with smart. Only two repositories are listed in smart: factory and factory-non-oss. But since i made this update my notebook didnt wake up correctly after suspend to ram. Screen is staying blank, background light is switching on and after a short while there is no more harddisk activity, fan is turning up and thats it. The only way to get the notebook "back to live" is to switch it off the hard way with a long pressing at the powerbutton. Needless to say that there are many messages from fsck regarding the filesystem (clearing orphaned inodes and replaying journal), so it seems to be dangerous at this time to use suspend to ram. My machine is a toshiba A 100, Intel T2300, 2GB Ram, ATI X1600, 160 GB SATA Harddisk with ext3fs. Anybody else has the same problem? Where can i look for some logs regarding the suspend action?

[opensuse-factory] Grub Problem

by Sid Boyce

I had a failing IDE HD as /dev/sda, so I installed 10.3 on a new SATA drive /dev/sdb and was booting from it until I removed /dev/sda. The SATA drive is now /dev/sda, but it won't boot, just the cursor on the top of the screen. Booted from DVD to rescue, altered fstab and menu.lst was changed from (hd1,0) to (hd0,0), still won't boot and grub commands give unrecognised device string errors. menu.lst now says gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/message No luck.

by Alexey Eremenko

Hi Susers ! Ubuntu team have just developed an excellent technology, that existed in Windows for many years before. More specifically, the ability to recover from Graphics Adapter misconfigurations. It is called: BulletProofX ! I would like to see this included into openSUSE (11.0 ?), and available as an addon for openSUSE 10.3.

[opensuse-factory] GNOME: Pidgin, sane defaults

by Magnus Boman

Hello all, I've been talking to some people about the Pidgin defaults and we agreed that the upstream defaults are not really sane. We have an opportunity to get this patched with sane settings. Apart from https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304635, does anyone have any other suggestions on what defaults we should have?
