[opensuse-factory] y2logs -- Too Big
by Andrew Joakimsen 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I have some bugs filed against YaST2 for various things and of course I am asked to attach y2logs. But for whatever reason my y2logs are ~14Mb and there is a 10Mb limit in bugzilla. I left a comment a few days ago but there is no response. Are y2logs normally > 10Mb? How do I resolve this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] CUPS external printers blocked by the firewall
by Birger Kollstrand 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi, I noticed that the internal firewall blocks by default for CUPS printers in the network. Is this by the design or is it a bug? I would prefer that openSUSE by default had the CUPS port open.

Hallo, I m using ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/factory/repo/ but my question ist now if there is somewhere something like a daily build. I ve several hardware problems (not caused by suse) but I m hoping that for example the latest kernel will solve parts of of my problems.

The bug I reported, No. 434541 is not resolved in Beta 3, even though it says the fix was "committed" 23rd October. Anyways, without access to the original bug I have no idea if this is even related to the issue I am seeing. Furthermore I wish to express my concerns, why is a bug relating to keys on a keyboard for a feature that works on some hardware in 10.x need to be marked "private?" This is only making more work for your developers and also for us who then need to go back and verify because the bug is a "black box" there is no way to know if the issue truly is a duplicate.

Why don't 'ls -rt' or 'ls -alrt' > work, while 'ls -l' does? Has anyone ever gotten 11.0 ppc to install? I appreciate the many attempts in this thread to help me with this. As it turns out, all help was useful no more than indirectly, by keeping me motivated and thinking. The defect is obviously in some component of the 11.0 installation program. I got it to HTTP install from the "bad" DVD by doing everything the same as previously reported except for one thing: By doing all partitioning and formatting prior to letting the YaST2 GUI installation take over (before accepting the license agreement), everything went smoothly, just like a normal i386 installation. I did the partitioning with pdisk by using the 10.3 install on the original target HD as a map to what partitions are required, then the command line mkfs.ext3, mkswap & tune2fs tools. I've rebooted subsequent to the first boot and configuration cleanup. It's now in the middle of online updating, just like on a P4. :-) This is the error messages onscreen after the last failed attempt: *** Starting YaST2 *** error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) terminate called after throwing an instance of 'zypp: Exception' what (): Cannot open file /etc/zypp/locks YaST got signal 6 at YCP /mounts/MP_0001/usr/share/YaST2/clients/inst_packages.ycp:49 /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.call: line 480: 2459 Aborted (core dumped) $OPT_FBITERM y2base "$Y2_MODULE_NAME" $Y2_MODE_FLAGS $Y2_MODULE_ARGS &Y2_UI_ARGS *** An error occurred during the installation *** This is the error messages from media self test of the DVD, similar to that of the mini CDs, in reporting _DVD_ failure: > 5 openSUSE-DVD-11.0, 100% *** Checksum wrong.

[opensuse-factory] Using ntfs-3g for /sbin/mount.ntfs
by Vincent Untz 23 Oct '08

Hi, I'm updating the ntfs-3g package, and I wonder if it's fine to do ln -s /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs This should help fix various issues with NTFS auto-mounting (in addition to the hal .fdi file). Upstream mentions this fix is okay, and other distributions do the same. As far as I know, no other package in openSUSE ships /sbin/mount.ntfs, so there wouldn't be any conflict. I'd just like to check that it's fine to do so :-) Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
