[opensuse-factory] software management and update
by Carlos F Lange 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

I was glad to see the import/export feature come back to Yast2/Sofware Management ( I missed it much in 10.1 and I skipped 10.2). In Online Update, I installed both a kernel patch and the update-test-optional patch. I got 2 different behaviours following this update. When I reopened Online Update, the kernel patch was not listed anymore under Installable Patches (as expected), but the update-test-optional was still listed under Installable Patches, only this time with a check mark beside it. Is this the expected behaviour? -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Alpha7 and RPM db
by Donn Washburn 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

Hey Group; I was going to check the RPM database for various pieces of software versions. Say like Open Office by "rpm --qa *". To which the rpm database comes up with Amarok-1.4.6 only. I would have expected a dump of the programss. So I did a remake of the RPM database "rpm --rebuilddb" then "rpm --initdb" and still it finds only Amarok. This was done as "root". Am I doing it wrong or is there some other new trick. "rpm -q" rpmfilename seems to work but rpm "-q *" or "-qa *" fails to work. Is this a Senior Moment or bad memory problem. Ultimately I was going to "rpm -qa * | grep open" -- 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] X blank screen on i845 (Beta1 sax2 and installation)
by Felix Miata 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Anyone know the proper procedure to get X to work on 845G video? On Beta1 on first boot after install from KDE iso, after clicking continue when release notes is displayed, the screen goes blank and never recovers. On reboot and choosing not to continue installation, then trying 'sax2 -r -a', then startx, the screen goes blank and stays that way until X is killed. I tried manually changing the xorg.conf driver from intel to i810, but that didn't help. Xorg.0.log has no (EE) entries. FWIW, Kubuntu on same system installed and configured X correctly. I copied its xorg.conf using i810 driver to Beta1, deleted the entire files section, and now X in Beta1 works fine. -- " It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."

[opensuse-factory] YaST Software Management Hell
by Felix Miata 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Sure would be nice to see serious progress on this subject soon, and certainly before 10.3 goes gold. SUSE really doesn't need any more of this kind of press, nor do its users deserve YaST behavior so much worse than 10.0 and prior: http://www.cio.com/article/126702/Windows_vs._Linux_vs._OS_X_CIO_John_Halam… -- " It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."

[opensuse-factory] Error adding Factory repos as install sources
by Doctor Who 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

It appears I can *add* Factory repositories ok, but when I try to refresh, I'm getting a pop-up that reads: Download failed: Media Exception An example would be adding http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Community/openSUSE_Factory/ as an install source. Anyone know how to fix/circumvent this? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Changes with boot/init for 10.3 ? Kernel locks in 10.3, not in 10.2 ?
by Kevin Valko 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Strange issue, but I've been running into problems with 10.3 since updating to beta 1 from 10.2. The kernel included on the install disc will not boot, it locks up at a random point but within 10-15 seconds after selecting install, although the safe kernel works and I managed to install. The system would not boot with the 10.3 B1 kernel unless I used kernel parameters (noapic etc.) which leads to a host of stability problems with my laptop. However, I was previously using 2.6.22 under 10.2 with no problems. Booted fine without requiring kernel parameters. I tried booting 10.3 B1 with that same kernel from 10.2 (since it still existed from my upgrade), and it would freeze 15-20s in, unless I used noapic. I even recompiled that same kernel using the same config file under 10.3, and the same problem exists. Downloaded and compiled 2.6.22.2 and ran into the same problem. Freezes during boot, works with noapic. I'm befuddled as to why this is an issue in 10.3 and not in 10.2. I suspect, but am not sure, that my issues are somehow related to the new modular mkinit process, it's more or less the only difference I can find in my boot logs as compared to 10.2. The lockups occur almost immediately after all the various xxx.sh scripts start running, but not always at the same point (which makes it harder to figure out where the problem is). It could be there's a fault with my hardware and kernel incompatibility that simply never came to light with 10.2 and only with whatever 10.3 does differently, but I want to track it down. I had similar issues in 10.2 initially that were related to 2.6.18.2 not supporting my hardware properly, but the issues more or less disappared with >2.6.20 and I was kernel-parameter free. Now I'm back to square one. Is there any source for docs on the specific changes made to mkinitrd for 10.3, as in, how to configure with various features and scripts are activated for boot? I went through the man docs, and there is info on how to enable additional settings (modules, features) but nothing on how to prevent things from being enabled, or whether there is a config file somewhere to control it all? Are there any other things that changed with the boot process I may have overlooked that could cause a previously hidden kernel problem to appear, when it remained dormant in 10.2? I'd like to roll up my sleeves (within reason ;) )and figure out what's going on, maybe by process of trial-and-error with poking and peeking various things, but am not sure where to start in this case. Sorry if this is a convoluted message, I'm not comfortable opening a bug report because I'm not sure I can reliably articulate where the actual problem is, so I'm looking for some diagnostic help before I do that. For reference's sake, the system is an HP dv9000 laptop with an AMD x2 1.8G and nvidia MCP51 chipset.
