[opensuse-factory] Changing network settings in yast2 lan
by Per Osbäck 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

hi, when I run "yast2 lan" I get a popup saying "This configuration is not compatible with NetworkManager. Use nm-settings applet or switch to Traditional Method with ifup" and everything disabled. First of all, I assume that the configuration isn't compatible with _yast2_ and not NetworkManager as the popup says. However, when I try to run "nm-applet" I get: ** (nm-applet:8240): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service. Message: 'Connection ":1.77" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file' (nm-applet:8240): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed So my question, how do I change this policy?

[opensuse-factory] Suspend nightmare
by Dave Plater 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

After reading the thread on auto hibernation I selected suspend from the kde3 log out menu. It had never worked in the past but this time unfortunatly it did. My machine went through the shutdown process and after pressing the power button proceeded to restart, finished the part where it loads the saved suspend data and locked up just before the mouse would have been recognized. The nightmare part came when repeated attempts from rescue disk to kexec back to my system also failed. Eventually I booted with acpi=off and noresume successfuly my failsafe section on the boot menu is identical to my normal section for some reason as well. Is this a known bug, if it is the suspend section needs to be removed from kde3 shutdown menu.

[opensuse-factory] status beta4
by Stephan Kulow 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, I just checked the log files and some media are too large for release. So beta4 might be late, but if that's our only problem we'll be able to fix it in time :) But it's only the first build of beta4 finished this morning, so it's possible we find more in pre-release testing.

[opensuse-factory] command-not-found - usage, and when will be implemented
by Ben Kevan 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

openSUSE Beta 3 (from Factory Repository). I know command-not-found is quite new to suse, but I haven't really heard anything around it. Will it be fully implemented into openSUSE 11.1? I have the package installed, but when I type banshee1 or banshee i just get command not found (I expected it to tell me what package to install.) It may be that I did an upgrade from 11.0 and the required enteries weren't put into my bash.bashrc. So I guess I should ask for the final release, will this be merged into their current bash.bashrc, or will it only work for new people? Also, in the README, shouldn't it recommend people to create and put it in bash.bashrc.local? since that is read from bash.bashrc? Whelp.. I'll add and test it out and see how it is.

[opensuse-factory] When will we get automatic retries on installation downloads?
by Dave Plater 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, after a factory update with quite a few 504 file not found errors, with wireshark running to prove it was due to mirrors not having the file, I have added my bit to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=425035 and voted for it as well. I have seen many complaints about leaving a system to update overnight and waking up in the morning to an http 504 error where if libzypp had automatically retried two or three times then the installation/update would have completed. The above bug is only an enhancement request so it needs your votes but I think libzypp not automatically retrying a few times ( nobody wants to wake up to retry loop due to another problem) should be a bug by now, all it would take is a few extra lines of code before the "file not found" error is reported. Things have come a long way since 11.0 alpha when I had the problem of libzypp retrying the same mirror, now it switches to another mirror on retry, this makes automatic retries possible without problems.

[opensuse-factory] Updating bundle-lang-* packages
by Vincent Untz 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, I'm looking at the bundle-lang packages. I think the list of GNOME packages is not complete for current factory (missing system-config-printer, for example). Would it make sense to generate the list of packages a bit more dynamically instead of having some hardcoded packages.txt file? Also, I was wondering about creating a bundle-lang-gnome-extras bundle for GNOME stuff that is not installed by default but that we still distribute. Any opinion on this?

Trying to run zypper on factory (beta3+) I get : Metadaten von Repository 'factory' abrufen [\]Datei '/suse/setup/descr/dvd-11.1-55.1.i586.pat.gz' nicht auf dem Medium 'http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/factory/repo/oss/' gefunden. Abbrechen, wiederholen, ignorieren? [A/w/i]: The media provides http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/factory/repo/oss/suse/setup/descr/dvd-11.1…, which is a newer version. Is there any workaround to convince zypper to use the newer one ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
