[opensuse-factory] nfs server fails to start
by Andreas 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

Does anyone else see this problem? When I do a 'rcnfsserver start', it always fails with this error message: Starting kernel based NFS server: idmapd mountdstartproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd: 1 When I run /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd with debugging on, I see this: hal9001:~ # /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd -F --debug all mountd: unable to register (mountd, 1, udp). The service rpcbind is running. Even the simplest of exports just does not work. This happens on two different computers, both with Beta2 installed. Either I am making the same mistake on both computers, or maybe this is a bug? Note that I have this problem only with the nfs kernel server, not with the user space nfs server. -- Gruß Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Cannot upgrade 11.0 --> 11.1 beta2
by Ken Schneider - Factory 14 Oct '08

14 Oct '08

Tried to upgrade (not fresh install) my laptop with 11.0 today and it was a no-go (HP dv9925nr). The first _strange_ thing is the install would hang (forever) unless I held a finger on the touch pad. The cursor would stop blinking until I touched the pad. Once the Installation screen appeared there was no Install Source listed, only a question mark (?). This happened with both a DVD install and an FTP install. I opened a bug report.

[opensuse-factory] transparent proxy
by medwinz 14 Oct '08

14 Oct '08

Hi list, I try to setup transparent proxy with squid 3 on beta2 with only one Network card, but i didn't success. The same setting runs well with ubuntu. Is it by design? I check with squid -v for the squid 3 on beta2, and I know that it is not compile with --enable-linux-netfilter, but when i try to compile it with it, I still cannot manage the transparent proxy. Also the squid configuration in yast2 only works with squid 2 not squid 3. Should I fill the bug report?

[opensuse-factory] elfutils
by Bernhard Walle 14 Oct '08

14 Oct '08

Hi, I think "elfutils" is missing in openSUSE:Factory, because it's there in Autobuild (/work/SRC/all/BASE/elfutils) and the missing packages cause makedumpfile build to fail in openSUSE:Factory. Could somebody fix that?

[opensuse-factory] where is the factory non-oss repo?
by Andreas 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Well, where is it? I managed to find the new path to the factory repo, but all I see so far are folders for "oss" and "src". It wouldn't bother me so much but I have several acrobat forms to check and fill out, and apparently only Adobe's Acrobat Reader can be used for that.

[opensuse-factory] Bug 431880 closed as duplicate of 431542 - which is marked as private
by Richard (MQ) 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

(I know - this keeps on happening - because it has *still* not been addressed by Novell...) Bug 431880 (11.1 Beta 2 NFS problems) has been closed as duplicate of 431542 but this latter is marked as private. Does it really need to be? If so please can we have a status report? Please, Novell developers - when marking a bug as private consider us ordinary folks that are trying to help the community... Separately - anyone have a work around? It seems that executing (as root) "rpc.statd -F" gives an "unable to register" error, by which point I'm out of my depth... This is really limiting my exploration of the beta, which looks pretty good otherwise. -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] beta2 freeze delay every 10 second
by Per Osbäck 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

Hi, I have tried both x64 and i386 and the desktop seem to suffer from some kind of delays. I'm running KDE4.1. For example when starting Firefox it seem to get wait for something before continuing. When typing in a konsole or this email, every 10seconds it freezes for like 500ms. This is not the case in 11.0 nor does it seem to be a problem when at the actual console login.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Make sure that CD 1 is in your drive.
by Ben Popatopalous 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Original Post condensed version: "I've burned the 11.1 Beta 1 x86_64 DVD twice. It will boot with Suse graphics and all then after selecting 'Installation' it loads kernel into a text mode installer and gives the error: Make sure that CD 1 is in your drive. I can by using back button get 2 other errors: This is not a openSuse CD-ROM. and: No repositories found. I tried again using k3b. By default it burns DVD's at 4.1x with my DVD writer. I selected the slowest speed it offers 2.4x. When I booted it I got exact same results as before." New Post: I'm feeling like an absolute idiot. I can't find any possible way to install 11.1 or Factory. As stated above DVD doesn't work [same problem with 11.1 Beta 2]. I've tried internet install [won't boot] and KDE live CD [won't boot]. What the heck am I doing wrong? I've tested Beta versions of openSUSE before. Is it really true that I have no way what so ever to install and test 11.1 or Factory? What am I missing? I filed a bug report: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429344 but it is receiving no perceived response... Frustrating. What am I missing? Will this at least be fixed by stable release? Is there any way to get a 11.1 Alpha version to install and upgrade? -- Thanks, ben popatopalous -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

I have 11.1 beta2 and I'm trying to update to factory. Zypper dup finds a bunch of packages but the strange thing is that many of them are already installed.

[opensuse-factory] nouveau driver default for some nvidia cards?

09 Oct '08

So I have done a fair bit of testing against the latest nouveau driver with my nvidia quadro card (PCIe NVS 280) this past week and have been very pleasantly surprised at how stable and happy it makes my system in comparison to the icky nv driver. Granted that the way in which I had to do this was manually compile and install the driver as per the instructions on their wiki.

[opensuse-factory] 11.1beta 2 Live CD(er DVD)
by Patrick Shanahan 08 Oct '08

Downloaded x86_64 version w/o incident and burned to dvd. Booted my wife's windoz infected Toshiba Satellite after choosing screen size which would not match hardware. Had to configure the wide screen as wide mode was not available from boot screen, but was only a minor inconvenience. Attached to my wireless wpa network after intering the plain text secret phrase. 30 seconds later had network access. Surfed and played around for about 30 minutes and *everything* I tried worked. Changed desktop theme oxygen, used firefox, konqueror, dolphin, yast2, kedit and xterm besides the knetworkmanager and all performed as expected. The new widgets, etc...., may take a little learning and getting used to but appear quite functional. >From what I experienced I must commend the opensuse team. GREAT JOB so far. note: my server is still on 10.1 x86_64 which has been very solid.

[opensuse-factory] NTP configuration in Yast does not choose a default server?
by Birger Kollstrand 08 Oct '08

Hi, I'm a bit confused over the NTP server configuration in Yast (KDE). It seems like it does not set up a default NTP server when it's started. Would it not be best if it's chosen from http://www.pool.ntp.org/ and matches the country you're in? It's maybe almost as that is the only servers that should be in the Yast list.

[opensuse-factory] boot success dependent on existence of fsck even when all filesystems squeeky clean/unSmart
by Felix Miata 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Yesterday I was manually stepping Smart to bring a flaky old Athlon Factory system up to date when Smart complained about a conflict between a new package and the existing old e2fsprogs rpm. To resolve, as I often do in similar not-so-smart Smart upgrade cases, I did rpm -d --nodeps on e2fsprogs, expecting to add it back on the next Smart run. Before the current run could complete, the system spontaneously rebooted. On reboot naturally fsck couldn't run, so I rebooted to another distro to run fsck on all partitions. On reboot into Factory, init still dropped me to repair mode and ro / due to "dirty" non / filesystem needing checking, which was a blatant lie. I suppose I should report this as a bug, but would like to see what others think. Ideas? On a related note (not-so-smart Smart), Smart reported db errors, requiring me to run rpm --rebuilddb, on about 10 different runs during yesterday's "session", spelled out in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431722#c4 . -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."
