[opensuse-factory] / mounted twice

I thought this was reported previously but now can't find any such report. This is occurring with Alpha7. Does this need a new bug? # mount LABEL=root on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) <======== /dev/dm-1 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) <======== proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/dm-0 on /home type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,acl,user_xattr) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) # ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/root lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-08-06 01:59 /dev/disk/by-label/root -> ../../dm-1 The root partition is an LVM volume configured to mount by label...

[opensuse-factory] Factory x86_64 still broken ?
by Markus Koßmann 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Is factory x86_64 still known to be broken ? When running "zypper up" I get : linux-n04x:~ # zypper up * Building repository 'inst_source' cache Problem loading data from 'inst_source' Resolvables from 'inst_source' not loaded because of error. * Reading installed packages [100%] with every mirror I tried. That includes gwdg, rwth-aachen,fr.rpmfind.net. It starts building the cache and inrementing the percentage until about 17% then jump to about 30% and then finaly the error message comes up. Unfortunately searching for "error" or "warn" in /var/log/zypper.log shows nothing usable. zypper is zypper-0.8.5-3, libzypp is libzypp-3.12.1-2 which seem to be the current versions from the thursday update. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-factory] Getting pan on the Gnome CD

It might not be a real Gnome application but there are other examples in that project which aren't fully fledged Gnome applications but more GTK ones (which are accepted on the Gnome desktop) which is also the case for pan I guess. But anyway there are other options for a top-level project for pan which could for example be "messaging" or similar to hold all kind of MUAs, newsreaders, IM/IRC clients. Maybe linked from their main projects in the buildservice.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 10.3 alpha 7 KDE CD plus Factory
by Rajko M. 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

It is amazing. It has some rough edges, but it works so good that it will be here default for a while. ******************* Package management: Runs really fast. There is no need to keep "yast2 sw_single" opened longer than needed just to skip long repository scan. Show spoiler (to major): Text mode yast (GUI not checked) module "Additional Product Repositories": Missing progress bars or any indication that yast runs during repodata download. Screen stay on selection screen that doesn't accept any commands, and only indication that yast works is "top" in another terminal. This is not good as it looks like YaST went south. Minor: Missing keyboard shortcut in the module "Software Repositories" that will bring focus back to list of repositories after Alt-e (for edit). Shit-TAB will do the same, but it is not obvious as other shortcuts, and the same fuctionality is provided in (I guess) in "Additional Product Repositories". Minor: Screen goes black when time zone selection has to be done. Moving mouse brings GUI back. GUI configuration: Minor?: The sax2 never made dual screen configuration. Here it is a bit complicated as 2 different monitors are connected to 2 nvidia cards, one onboard and one added, but it worked in 10.2 with 32 and 64 bit, with nv dirver and nvidia copiled, so it should work in 10.3. The problem was that: sax2 -m 0=nv,1=nv generated xorg.conf that had one Device section: Section "Device" Driver "nv" EndSection and the other correct. The section Monitor listed monitor connected to another adpater. ******************* In first attempt the installation method was: Start installation with alpha 4 DVD and give as source local KDE iso. Ignore warning that this method can invalidate bug reports. It will some of early problems, the rest after new splash should be valid. 1) Change default partitioning proposal that was result of some detection, but not really good choice. If accepted it would format 10.2 / and /home. Which would be the most of damage that can be done. There was previous alpha installation that was not taken in consideration. In complex installations where installation programs can't find empty space it is better option to user determine what to do: - to select partition that should be used from the list in popup window, like it was years ago in text mode installation, and in that window, give option: - to go straight to Expert Partitioner; one that created 10 partitions on a hard disk probably has idea how to use it, or ask others for advice. 2) Change package selection adding some stuff that is probably default on DVD, but not on KDE CD. Annoyance was long dependency checking after each package added. Unchecking "Autocheck" speed up further selection. Proceed was very slow. Checking in console with "free" it was used 700 MB RAM out of 900. I didn't let it hang all night long, and after some time of network inactivity I rebooted. In second attempt I skipped package selection changes, and installation went fine. This time YaST used whole RAM. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
