[opensuse-factory] dev null incorrect permissions
by Florin Samareanu 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Is this happening to anyone here with a current -FACTORY? florin@florin-laptop:~> ls -l /dev/*null* -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2007-09-02 22:45 /dev/null -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2173 2007-09-02 22:24 /dev/null.2007-09-02.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2007-09-02 22:23 /dev/null.current -> null.2007-09-02.0 Initial permissions on /dev/null were correct (like above) but after gdm login permissions get rw for owner, none for other. also, permissions for /dev/null.2007-09-02 are rw for owner , none for others. My problem is that after logon, opening a shell (gnome-terminal in my case) pops up some errors about /dev/null permission denied. Any fixes excluding "manually setting correct permissions on /dev/*null*"? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] opensuse10.3beta2 can not support dmraid
by Pang Dawei 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Hi,there, I installed opensuse10.3beta2 to a dmraid (raid1)function machine, At the end of installation, the yast can not create initrd and install bootloader. Because the creating initrd missed 70-kpartx.rule file, the mkinitrd is failed. Can we fix the bug in the beta3? Thank you very much. -- --Pang Dawei --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] SuSE Updater
by Donn Washburn 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hey Group; The KDE "user" SuSE Updater seems to be broken. Every rime KDE comes up it does also. It checks online and then shows a circled "?". Click on it and up comes a error message stating "openSUSE Updater -> " Unable to check if updates are available". Beside it never works and suggests -> Please use Add/Remove Update Sources". Which works but ends up as a dead end. -- 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] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 35
by Christoph Thiel 01 Sep '07

01 Sep '07

Preface: We are trying out a new way to spread status reports on the openSUSE distribution, infrastructure and other topics around openSUSE. They are supposed to help facilicate the openSUSE bi-weekly IRC status meeting (scheduled for tomorrow, 2007-08-29, 6pm CEST). As this is the first attempt, we are looking forward to your feedback and suggestions for improvements! status report: openSUSE distribution, week 35 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 10.3 Beta2 released in time on 2007-08-23, overall feedback quite mixed, there is still a lot of room for improvement * hot spots: libzypp, dist upgrade, bootloader config, hal, bundle-lang / translation handling, patterns / cd/package layout. - no LiveCD for Beta2, due to time constraints * Beta3 will hopefully ship a LiveCD from day 0 - a couple of late version updates got approved this week, including MozillaFirefox, MozillaThunderbird, seamonkey, wine, samba, bluez-libs. * upgrading a package at this time in the release cycle is going to be very unlikely now. - we are currently preparing for an internal test build, scheduled for 2007-08-29, to get another round of testing for libzypp - way to many open red bugs: 31 blocker, 103 critical * will need to review the critical bugs * if there is anything <critical that needs attention, make sure to set NEEDINFO to cthiel or coolo, to get it onto our radar. - current focus for Beta3: * bundle-lang and friends (translations, l10n) + a proposal on the language addons is coming up tomorrow * patterns / media layout * LiveCD * libzypp Is there anything missing? Please let us know, if we are ignoring any hot spots? Best, Christoph -- Christoph Thiel, Tech.

That is smp kernel and perfectly fits your machine. The sources have to match running kernel, and than nvidia installation will not complain. Although someone removed advice for; cd /usr/src/linux make oldconfig make prepare from article http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA in my experience, nvidia installer will not work without at least first 2 lines, ie, changing working directory to /usr/src/linux and than copy of current configuration: cd /usr/src/linux make oldconfig the only line that last version of nvidia installer didn't really needed was 'make prepare' . I added that too, just to make sure that every possible effort is made to have all bits ready. The guy that removed above 3 commands from article is, so far I know, one of kernel developers, and I don't go in discussion what is right, the SUSE kernel or nvidia installer creators. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
