/lib/modules/(stock2.6.21kernel)# du -s
60804 .
/lib/modules/(my2.6.21kernel)# du -s
538292 .
That's a 785% increase in space consumed by my modules over stock modules.
Does that happen for anyone building their own Factory kernel? Can a more
normal space consumption be made to happen by a mere mortal kernel building
novice like myself?
What I did was:
1-apply the patch from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7513
2-zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
3-make menuconfig to add smbfs and change the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION
4-make
5-make modules_install
6-INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install
7-fix the resulting broken /boot/grub/menu.lst

Users tend to ask about AIGLX quite a bit. Why do we not have this
enabled by default, where possible? Xgl is nice and a lot of people
prefer it (including myself), but a lot of people prefer using AIGLX
too. Having it enabled by default where possible of course also
provides the possibility of switching between compiz/kwin/metacity
easier too.
If not setting it up by default, perhaps we could consider having a
script similar to gnome-xgl-switch for setting it up a little more
easily for users.
Any thoughts?
Regards,

FYI: Current freetype in FACTORY is broken, use the version from Alpha4
instead of updating,

1. I noticed that during installation, pop-up dialog boxes requiring
user action show up in the upper left corner. Took me a while to
notice it, as I kept clicking "Next" with no results. Wouldn't it be
better to have this pop up in the center of the screen?
2. During partition operations, I would go into fstab options. When
done, it would not go back to the primary partition window. I finally
realized I needed to alt+tab to get to that window to click done before
returning to the main installer window.
3. When all is said and done, I log into my new system just fine with
no problems. However, when rebooting, the system goes to the second
phase of Installer and says the last installation attempt had failed.
I've found that if I ignore this, it will still boot into the system
normally and I can log in there. Subsequent reboots do not present this
error again. If I do not ignore the message and proceed to re-answer
the questions (which strangely enough are already populated with my
previous answers) then the error is repeated upon each reboot until I
ignore the error. Then it goes away.

Acrobat Reader 8 is out, but on openSUSE NON OSS repo I see only version
7. Does it mean that acroread package will not be updated for 10.3
final?
Thanks!

I'm getting the following message:
Problem: pattern:non_oss_java-11.0-14.i586 requires
java-1_5_0-sun-plugin, but none of the providers can be installed
Solution 1: deinstallation of java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.u3-20.i586
Solution 2: do not install pattern:non_oss_java-11.0-14.i586
Is there a reason why the java pattern requires the 1.5.0 version? I'm
running the 1.6.0 version and haven't encountedred any problems so far.
ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.

Hi,
- factory is - I would say - interesting at the moment,
many failing packages are causing a huge dependency
problem as we updated glibc, perl and networkmanager
- kde 4.0.0 got integrated
- glibc 2.7
- perl 5.10
- networkmanager 0.7
- pine is dropped, alpine replaces it now
- I don't see alpha1 in danger atm, but it might come
later due to the delay the crashed download.o.o caused
Greetings, Stephan

Hi,
Recently I was installing openSUSE on my mums computer (ok, it was 10.3, but nevertheless I think my post belongs to this list, as I know nothing like this will be changed for a released version but it might happen for a future version).
So the situation: Her computer is connected via VGA to a TV (yes, not computer screen). The TV supports a resolution of 640x480@60Hz (it's ugly for all of us.. but she just does not want to find a place for another ugly screen).
with this screen, the Grub Boot Menu is not showed but there is only flickering on the screen. By knowing what keypresses are needed, I selected Resolution 640x480 for the installation and the rest went smoothly after. Of course for after the installation I had to give her a textmode grub (timing out in 2 seconds, as she'll never ever use another entry.. they are for me ;) )
At what mode does the GRUB menu actually operate? Is this mode mandatory for some reasons or could we reduce it? The main approach should be to go as low as possible at the beginning and increase with sanity as much as possible later... but not being able to see the first screen to select resolutions or start the installation can be quiet an issue (of course first question was: but windows worked on this computer, why is this happening).
Nevertheless: she's a happily converted user... all she ever does is starting firefox, play some nifty flash games and use Thunderbird for mailing and pidgin for IM... so she's perfectly happy (after the installation once passwd).
Best regards,
Dominique

Is there a way to recover the messages. They should not bounce as my email
