[opensuse-factory] Factory repo http 404 errors
by Dave Plater 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi, factory is returning many http 404 errors for me, unfortunately my wireshark and iptraf are broken so if there are mirrors involved I can't log the activity. Retrying finds the package.

[opensuse-factory] Beta2 repos and reinstall
by Per Osbäck 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi, I did the Beta2 install of the DVD which worked perfectly. I then added (yast2, Software Repos -> Community Repos) MAIN Respo (OSS) and the Update repo. Doing a "zypper dup" first wanted to change vendor for all packages which is fine I suppose, but, it also wants to reinstall what seems to be all packages. What's the cause of this and can I disable the reinstall and just upgrade? An other minor thing is when trying to Edit a repo in yast2, it gives me a orange popup saying: UI Syntax Error Unknown widget type InputFiled Check the log file!

There does still not exist a repodata folder, so the repo is not a valid RPM-MD This stops us quiet much from using it.

[opensuse-factory] non-oss software on our media?
by Michael Loeffler 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi, we discussed already once [1] the situation with proprietary software on our distribution. We agreed on the list and in an IRC project meeting that it's not nice but is very convenient for many users and should stay therefor on media. I'm opening the discussion again as with that we never will achieve a user friendly licence as already copying of our software on DVD is not allowed and even some mirrors have an issue with this licence. We receive on a regular base inquiries in this regards and bad press [2]. Here is our proposal for new discussion. *Ship any media of openSUSE with open source software and proprietary software which allows redistribution (eg. firmware), for details [3]. *Add during installation automatically an online repo with the non-OSS stuff and install per default flashplayer (5MB) and the fluendo plug-in (210K) for mp3. This would allow us to offer a user friendly end user licence agreement (EULA) and would remove the cause of bad press and angry users reading the EULA really carefully. Some background info: - survey of usage of proprietary[4] software showed that only flashplayer and acroread really are used by a majority of users (Java is not an issue anymore as we ship with 11.1 openJDK) - with the distribution of 90%+ of broadband access amongst our users flashplayer via online repo shouldn't be a problem. And without internet access flashplayer won't be an issue for anybody. - For acroread we're sure that the open source alternatives (kpdf, evince, okular) are at same level with acroread. The only drawback we're aware of is the missing functionality PDF Forms offers today. We're asking for your buy-in for having a more friendly EULA, to make the distribution of openSUSE easier and get the software in more hands. BTW: we'll replace the proprietary agfa-fonts with the open source alternative Liberation fonts with openSUSE 11.1.

[opensuse-factory] Somethings wrong with factory file versions
by Dave Plater 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi, I'm sure this is wrong kde3-i18n-en_GB-3.5.9-1.5 is in factory, I thought 11.1 was version 3.5.10 and in fact I have version 3.5.10-2.12 installed at the moment. This can cause a problem with zypper dup. The file date is 12 April 2008.

[opensuse-factory] live cd images

Hello, Wow! Is this really the best way to distribute live CD images? I just found this package while updating the local factory mirror: # ls -l kiwi-image-livecd-gnome-11.1-26.1.i586.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 czanik 192 834053147 Oct 2 19:40 kiwi-image-livecd-gnome-11.1-26.1.i586.rpm # rpm -qlp kiwi-image-livecd-gnome-11.1-26.1.i586.rpm /usr/share/kiwi /usr/share/kiwi/output /usr/share/kiwi/output/kiwi-image-livecd-gnome-openSUSE-11.1.i686-2.7.0.iso That is an iso file packaged into a 834MB rpm file :-) Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] can't nfs mount
by Felix Miata 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

I know I just had a solution to this lately but can find no evidence of either the question or any response, and Google doesn't seem to find anything on point. :-( Here's the response from trying to mount fstab entries that have always worked before today's updates: mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd. Running rpc.statd from shell prompt returns nothing and has no effect on mount attempts. Bash can't find statd. Neither rpc.statd nor statd exist in /etc/init.d. /usr/sbin/rpc.statd is 755 47424 29 Sept. How do I make nfs mounts work again? -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." James 1:19 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
