[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?
by Juan Erbes 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

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] problem loading OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet RC1
by Gabriel . 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

After upgrading to RC1 I got this message 'The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet".' Manually adding the volume control applet to the panel results in the same error message. Is anyone else seeing this ? I wanted to test the audio, so I started banshee and got this: ---- An unhandled exception was thrown: libbanshee at (wrapper managed-to-native) Banshee.BansheeEntry:banshee_dbus_compat_thread_init () at Banshee.BansheeEntry.Startup (System.String[] args) [0x00000] at (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.MulticastDelegate:invoke_void_string[] (string[]) at Banshee.Gui.CleanRoomStartup.Startup (Banshee.Gui.StartupInvocationHandler startup, System.String[] args) [0x00000] .NET Version: 2.0.50727.42 Assembly Version Information: Mono.Posix (2.0.0.0) NDesk.DBus.GLib (1.0.0.0) gnome-sharp (2.16.0.0) gdk-sharp (2.10.0.0) System (2.0.0.0) atk-sharp (2.10.0.0) glib-sharp (2.10.0.0) gtk-sharp (2.10.0.0) Banshee.Base (0.13.1.35065) banshee (0.13.1.35067) mscorlib (2.0.0.0) Platform Information: Linux 2.6.22.5-23-default i686 i386 GNU/Linux Disribution Information: [/etc/lsb-release] LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-noarch:core-2.0-ia32:core-3.0-ia32" [/etc/SuSE-release] openSUSE 10.3 (i586) VERSION = 10.3 ---- The sound card seems ok and XMMS works fine. 00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!

Hi! Just so you know: RC2 is not yet done, we're still waiting for more fixes to be verified before we can do give it officially to QA. But Factory has been synced out again, so if you do a zypper update -t package it should pull in RC2 Candidate and you can test the latest fixes of the system.

[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. No the install worked fine. -- Arto Viitanen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Encrypted filesystem problem in 10.3
by Carlos E. R. 24 Sep '07

Hi, I have the following defined on 10.2 (works fine): /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd.crypta.x auto \ ro,noauto,user,loop,encryption=twofish256 0 0 This doesn't work in 10.3: minas-morgul:~ # mount /mnt/dvd.crypta.x Password: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument minas-morgul:~ # Yes, I have read the release notes regarding encrypted filesystems, and I don't understand: those notes are too brief and unexpected. How am I supposed to activate via /etc/init.d/boot.crypto a filesystem that is not connected at boot time, but later? How can I mount and umount voluntarily encrypted filesystms via fstab, as previously? -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
