[opensuse-factory] rc1 and via-rfhine
by jdd 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Hello, I have a mobo K7VT6 with Asrock network, configured through dhcp and via-rhine module. works perfectly in 10.1 I install 10.3 RC1 by upgrade of older alpha (3 I think) when I need to configure the net, Yast detects the card and see it "unconfigured" I hit "configure", dhcp, ok... and the network don't works if I go back to Yast, I can see the line for asrock is still "unconfigured", and there is an other line below, exactly the same, but noted "dhdp" notice that I have also an other net card in the computer (neither configured neither tried) idea? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] My comments on installing openSUSE-10.3-RC1 on a ThinkPad T40
by James PEARSON 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Hello all I installed openSUSE-10.3-RC1 on a ThinkPad T40 using the openSUSE-10.3-RC1-DVD-i386.iso that I made from the openSUSE-10.3-Beta3_RC1-DVD-i386.delta.iso The installation went fine but I do have a few remarks which I would like to pass along The yast install picked up the Intel 2200BG Wifi card and I used that to load down and install the patchs during the install process. Wifi worked just fine during and after the install (To be truthfull, I had more problems configuring 2200BG Wifi card using Intel lastest drivers under Win XP than with openSUSE). Great work! During the installation my thinkpad model was incorrectly recognized as an "R40 2681" The thinkpad model is ThinkPad "T40 2373" This is the first time that I have seem yast install mistake the model. There was an rather annoying "PatchProgressCallback.99" message popup when I was in the "Patch download and Installation" window that I had to click too many times for my liking. I imagine that this is for your developpers to debug / troubleshoot yast installation module code and it won't there for long. Lastly the sound was recognized as a T41 in the "Hardware window" at the end - no big deal I guess as the sound works fine but before is the first time that I have seem yast install mistake the model. Final remarks - Things are looking quite good - The wifi connection (controlled by KNetwork manager as eth0) seems to up faster "on boot" than before (<=thank you) - I have an new semi transparent kde panel toolbar - cool eye candy (<=thank you) - Konqueror and Firefox seem to open alot faster under kde. And now Firefox opens really fast the second time (<=thank you) - I installed the w32codec-all-20061022-0.pm.1.i586.rpm libdvdcss2 and libdvdcss2-devel but I still can't Kaffeine to play movies. Can any one help me on this one ? That's all I have time for for tonight.

Hi! You may have noticed I'm pretty late, which is already a status update: I'm heavily busy :) * We mastered RC1 late tuesday with just one ship blocker left * After internal testing we're up again to 7 blockers (+ 54 critical) * Online update works fine though, critical issues left are in some yast modules and the ACPI support of the kernel (some machines show weired regressions) * Live CDs are on good track, so we think we're able to release them together with the other ISOs of RC1 * The installer of the live cds will not be ready for the final, so we'll most likely pull them from the final live CDs and ship another set of live CDs when we're happy with it Greetings, Stephan -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Problem reading mixed mode CD
by Birger Kollstrand 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Hi list, My wife bought this mixed mode CD. it is a CD which is partially a normal audio CD and partially a normal filesystem CD. We are using KDE desktops. When she inserts it on the 10.3 Beta machine the KDE daemon pop up window shows three choices, open in New Window, Copy CD with K3B, Do Nothing. There is no option to play the music. Is this a known issue ? It is possible to play the files from an audioplayer if that is started manually. A competing OS shows the first pop up with a clear marking that there is both data and audio on the cd. Is that possible to get on KDE also?

[opensuse-factory] classpath-webplugin
by Benji Weber 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Greetings all, Francis pointed out to me that classpath-webplugin is installed by default on 10.3. This is a) rather pointless as I don't think it actually supports any applets ( I tried a dozen or so sites with java applets ) b) somewhat dangerous as I don't think I'd trust the security in the classpath webplugin. c) prevents the real sun java plugin from working when installed, until the user removes the classpath webplugin as this gets priority in both firefox and konqueror. Can I suggest - Making the sun plugin conflict with the classpath webplugin. - Preferably don't install the classpath version at all, if you're worried about completely free java go for java 7 it would be more reliable than classpath. Also is there any reason we have java 5 default and not java 6? _ Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] build vs. lbuild
by Peter Czanik 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hello, I tried to compile a package using current factory sources, and ran into the following problem using lbuild: expanding package dependencies... expansion error nothing provides /lib/libreadline.so.5.2 needed by bash nothing provides /lib/libhistory.so.5.2 needed by bash and it is actually right: pegasos0917:/data/10.3/suse/ppc # rpm -qp --provides libreadline5-5.2-16.ppc.rpm bash:/lib/libreadline.so.5 readline = 5.2 libhistory.so.5 libreadline.so.5 libreadline5 = 5.2-16 On the other hand 'build' can build the package from the same spec file. It's just a lot more slow to start up, and inconvenient to use... Which one is right? And a bonus question: is it worth reporting this dependency bug, now that only critical bugs are fixed? Or belongs this to the critical category? Even if it's not in factory, It certainly makes lbuild useless, which is also used by the PackMan team... (actually, I ran into the problem by trying to recompile a packman package for 10.3 on PPC).

[opensuse-factory] Inclusion of "deltarpm" in base system?
by Robin Knapp 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi, now that delta RPMs work after bug 309124 has been fixed (I just verified this), I think the deltarpm package should be included in the 1-cd installation media, or more commonly in the minimal base system. It's quite small (<200KB), so this hopefully should not be a problem. IMHO delta rpms are a superior feature and are a huge advantage of openSUSE on slower connections, so this should work out of the box (and during installation). Maybe it also should be added to the "recommend" section of libzypp's spec file. Cheers, Robin PS.: libzypp is really great in 10.3 - even better than what I expected :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] novell ati driver
by Florin Samareanu 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi, Do you think that the new opensource ati driver developed by novell will make it in 10.3? i`m asking because with my card (ati x1600 mobility) vesa driver does not support more than 800x600, while my native lcd resolution is 1680x1050. Also, in order to make more pleasant the installation steps on 10.3 , you could try including avivo driver (http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=avivo/xf86-video-avivo.git) . A small offtopic question: is there a git/cvs/something repository of this driver or is it developed internally? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] xen on 10.3-B3
by Hans Witvliet 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

Anybody on the list trying xen on 10.3-B3? Seems to be stuck. On a 10.2 DOM-0, i can run 10.1 DOM-u without any adaption. Same is not true for 10.1 DOM-U's on a 10.3-B3 DOM-0 Other shot, creating a new DOM-U from yast, seems to be hanging half-way (reding the repo afair from the top of my head) HtH, Hans --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] asterisk dropped?
by Andreas Vetter 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

Hi, I just wanted to install asterisk and could not find it in 10.3b3 or factory. It's in build service. Why (and when) was it dropped? I miss it! -- Andreas Vetter Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
