I can't find it under > preferences or tools. Joe Morris (NTM) told me where to find it (if it were a lion I'd be eaten already), and it worked fine. But I wonder why Thunderbird failed to install it automatically. Isn't it a bug? -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-factory] Dirty filesystem after Yast update of RC1 and halt + reboot.
by Carlos E. R. 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Hi, I told Yast to update all updatables. It downloaded over a gigabit, it took the whole afternoon. It is a nuisance when it screeches over a network failure and doesn't retry till I come by the computer and tell it to retry. In the end, I told it to reboot, or perhaps halt; in any case, it halted. I booted again, and I saw the system running a long filesystem check because the root partition had not been cleanly umounted. I thought this was a known bug with the RC1 DVD, but not with the installed system. -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-factory] Thunderbird fails to load extra dictionaries in 10.3 RC2
by Carlos E. R. 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Hi, I only see the US language dictionary in Thunderbird. I tell it to download another, and it does: it downloads and says it installs the Spanish dictionary, tells me to restart it, I do, but it doesn't appear. I redo several times, no use. I tried to search for another rpm that could have it, but no. I tried also as root, but the result is the same. -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-factory] zypper install package (and version)
by Miquel A. Noguera 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hi all. I can't find the way to say zypper to install a certain version of a resolvable when there are several available. The equivalent one in apt would be for example: apt-get install gimp-unstable=2.4.0rc3-0.pm.1 man zypper or http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Usage don't help me :-( Thanks Miquel. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Getting "gdbm fatal: lseek error"
by Trey Sizemore 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

I'm running openSUSE 10.3 RC1 + updates. When I attempt to launch mutt, and after passing my credentials, I get: Selecting INBOX...gdbm fatal: lseek error I'm experiencing this with several versions of mutt from CVS as well as the version included with openSUSE. I've also re-installed the gdbm and gdbm-dev packages. mutt-1.5.16-36 gdbm-devel-1.8.3-302 gdbm-1.8.3-302 Any idea on how to troubleshoot this? Bad gdbm package perhaps? -- Cheers, Trey ---- Mark's Dental-Chair Discovery: Dentists are incapable of asking questions that require a simple yes or no answer.

[opensuse-factory] Unable to update from 10.2 to 10.3 RC1 on IBM R40
by Matthias Bach 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

Hi! Trying to update from a openSUSE 10.2 to 10.3 RC1 on an IBM R40 fails. When initializing the Setup system it shows the following dialog: "The partitioning on disk /dev/sda is not readable by the partitioning tool parted, which is used to change the partition table. You can use the partitions on disk /dev/sda as they are. you can format them and assign mount points to them, but you cannot add, edit, resize or remove partitions from that disk with this tool. When I afterwards select the update option and continue it shows all three partitions on this disk, but seems not recognize the openSUSE 10.2 on /dev/sda1 and therefore will not let me update. Looking at the boot log a lot of "attempt to access beyond end of device" can be seem, which make me guess this is another variant of BUG #327612. However the solution there won't work for me as I don't have a running 10.3, yet. I attached the contents of /var/log.

[opensuse-factory] [Announcement] Repository Issues When Upgrading Any 10.3 to 10.3 RC2 (and newer)
by Lukas Ocilka 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

Hi, During the upgrade (when using CD/DVD media), the current system repositories are read from the system. These repositories are offered to be either enabled or disabled during the installation/upgrade. If you enable a repository, it is added during the installation in an enabled state and you can use it during the upgrade, otherwise it is added in a disabled state. This all is correct and helps you to upgrade all packages at once. The problematic part is, that if you have a newer libzypp package (that uses /etc/zypp/repos.d/ to store libzypp configuration), you'll have these sources twice after the upgrade. * The old sources will remain as they were before upgrade. * Installation/Upgrade will add them enabled/disabled as selected during the upgrade process. Solution: Do not remove these sources before installation/upgrade because upgrade wouldn't have anything to offer you during the upgrade process. You might disable these sources and you will find them disabled after the upgrade as well. Additionally newly added sources will be enabled or disabled as you will choose during the upgrade. Upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3 is OK Upgrade from 10.3 to 10.3 BetaX adds only those sources that were enabled. Upgrade from 10.3 to 10.3 RC2/... adds both enabled and disabled sources. See bug #326325 for more information.
