[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] 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.

[opensuse-factory] 10.3 RC1 doesn't see SATA drive in mixed IDE/SATA environment
by Bob Williams 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

I have two hard drives, one IDE and one SATA. My 10.2 installation has /, /boot, /usr mounted on the SATA drive, while /home is a LVM2 volume spanning both hard drives. When I tried installing 10.3 RC1, it only detected the IDE drive. In the Partitioner module, choosing expert - import settings from previous fstab failed to find an existing fstab. The boot up process appears to load both IDE and SATA drivers, so I presume there is a problem with the SATA (sata_sis) driver. Is this likely to be fixed by 10.3 GM or will I have to stay with 10.2? -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.5, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 39
by Stephan Kulow 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

Hi! * We tried about 6 builds after RC1 that were supposed to become RC2 (to be regression tested internally). But we're still not there yet. Starting the 7th right now. But the bugs we're seeing are very limited in scope and will very likely be fixed in time. * We're down to 0 blockers (two were just FIXED this morning) and 68 critical. The criticals may result in online updates available at time for the GA. * The Factory tree was updated on monday after keeping it on hold for testing RC1 installations * The List of community repos is pretty well filled and translated based on proposal derived from the last IRC meeting Anything I missed?

[opensuse-factory] Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1300 (hybrid) doesn't work in RC1

Hi, Yast detects it as CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder. It didn't work. Then I manually selected the correct one. Tuner can not be edited in yast (it says: no tuner is available for the selected card). It doesn't find any stations at all (Spain, pal-bg). I try kdetv, same thing: no stations, neither manually not automatically. I can see the video (composite input), but no sound.

[opensuse-factory] Renaming OpenOffice in 10.3?
by Rafał Miłecki 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

As you may know, OpenOffice.org 2.3 RC3 was released as stable version. In openSUSE 10.3 RC1 we still use RC3 name. What about "updating" OpenOffice.org to version stable (even if it's only about the name)?

[opensuse-factory] Problem with udevd on openSUSE 10.3 (Beta/RC)
by Thomas Babut 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi, yesterday I've installed openSUSE 10.3 RC1 and after the installation the boot process from hard disk hangs, when udevd is being started. After waiting minutes, nothing happens, even after pressing STRG+C. With openSUSE 10.3 Beta 3 I had the same problem. But the system is not frozen, because the enter- and numlock-key are still working. Perhaps this has something to do with this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270490 I am running the following hardware: Intel Core2Duo E6750 2 GB RAM Gigabyte P35-DS3P NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GTS 2 x SATA WD3200AAKS with Intel Matrix RAID 0 (ICH9R) Samsung SATA DVD-ROM Samsung SATA DVD-RW So, what's wrong?

[opensuse-factory] Webcamdriver doesn't work with kernelupdate
by Michael Werner 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Halli hallo After the latest kernelupdate it isn't possible to install the webcamdriver anymore from the /repositories/drivers:/webcam/openSUSE_10.3/ repository, because the kernel is 2.6.22.5-29 and the webcamdriver requires a 2.6.22.5_25 Kernel. So now i can choose between a safe or a full functioning OS. I think the webcamdrivers repository should be recompiled simultaneously with a kernelupdate so it will be automatically updated with YAST. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] How can I edit the rpmdb?

How can I edit the rpmdb to remove the references to all the packages that are not installed. In the rpmdb appear as installed about 4 different versions from the same package. Two days ago I beginning to download the dvd iso of rc1, to make a a clean installation, via torrent, the only way to download the dvd, but the connection was very slowly, and I must waiting for about a week to complete the download. For the update via smart I can download 2.2 GB in about 10 hours. When a package are updated via rpm -U and in many cases with the parameter --replacepkgs (or via smart), the updated or replaced package do'nt disappear from the rpmdb, and I mean it's the cause for the crashing.

[opensuse-factory] 10.3 RC 1 and xfs
by Arto Viitanen 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

I just like to mention, that I also had problems with xfs. I have three partitions (for Linux, one for Windows) swap, root and boot. Until now, boot is ext3, mounted on /boot and marked as boot partition. root has been xfs and mounted on /. But, when I tried to install RC 1 on formatted partitions, install stopped when the install program rebooted the system. X mentioned something about xim problems (I use fi_FI@utf8, so I see no need for xim). I tried to install X by hand, but it was already there. When I run ldconfig, I got dozens of lines like ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so.0.1.1 is truncated ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51 is truncated ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51.40.4 is truncated I finally gave up, reinstalled the system with both /boot and / as ext3.
