[opensuse-factory] Kernel-syms and kernel-source packages don't match.
by Dave Plater 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi anyone know why kernel-source-2.6.27.7-3.1.i586.rpm doesn't have a matching kernel-syms package in factory repo. The kernel-syms package is kernel-syms-2.6.27.7-2.1.i586.rpm still.

It seems so. My graphic cards, all nvidia, are hotter in 11.1 than in 11.0, but to make sure I have to go and make more tests. I can't say about earlier as only 10.3 is on laptop and it has ATI chipset. For time being I have to play gently to prevent more damage. I have 64 bit computer out of commision until I can replace motherboard, and it quit after graphic showed some irregularities. I shut down computer, but it never booted again. Testing pretty barebone configuration with add on graphic card didn't helped to see at least some portion of the boot. I'm not very sad about that as it was anyway time for upgrade, but besides known problems that nvidia has with manufacturing, I have feeling that they add up pushing chips beyond actual technical capabilities. I'm currently using nv driver, but heatsink is still hotter than I feel comfortable. If I can't keep hand on it for more than a few seconds, it is not good. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org I wonder if the nv driver has knowledge of the heat output of the card like the nvidia driver probably does.

I added a fan to one of my nvidia graphics cards (a 5200 which didn't come with one) and it ran much cooler and more stable too. The fan came from a dead PSU but they are easy enough to buy new. Can make things noisy though... I run 11.0 with a fanless 8600GT using nvidia proprietary driver. Don't seem to have any noticable heat issues or anything and I'm running 5 HDD's in it with a quad core.

I have noticed in all of the betas quite a bit of software missing. The main ones I use are mcedit and nmap. Is this expected? -- 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 Beta5

Until this morning (my time, Eastern Australia) zypper had no problems with checking for new upgrades but now it keeps "hanging" when it is checking: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/[oss][non-oss] Have I missed some announcement which would affect this URL?

[opensuse-factory] Why does ksnapshot insist on saving a .jpeg and not .jpg anymore?
by David C. Rankin 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

Guys, I am just curious why I can't save images in KDE4's version of ksnapshot as .jpg anymore. For some reason, every time I try to save a file in ksnapshot as a .jpg, I type "." "j" "p" and as soon as I type "g" the dialog sticks an "e" in there between the "p" and the "g" -- quite annoying really. Is there anyway to change this? Or is this like the konqueror icon text field width issue where I can't set my text width to 525 px. anymore -- my choices are now (small medium or large)? Kind of like shopping for T-shirts. -- David C.

First, there is a hell-of-a-lot-of difference between the workings and syntax of the files between 10.3 and 11.0 (similar to zypper changes) and second, before we can direct the string back to the attacker, we have to overcome the default redirection of everything to /dev/null. Supposedly twist was a way of handling it of ftp, etc.., but not for ssh. I don't know why sshd is different in that regard, but it is.. -- David C.

I do notice these erroneous beta's etc coming out from time to time and often can't seem to find them as quickly as others.
