[opensuse-factory] Compiz on r300 - summary of weirdness
by Matt Sealey 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi guys, I recently dropped openSUSE 11.1 RC1 on a Dell XPS laptop just to see how it was faring for Compiz support on opensource drivers. I ran into a couple problems; some stupid and minor, and some just odd.. * I installed the system with KDE4.1 and got a working system out of it. The display resolution on this laptop (which is the size of a small house) is 1920x1600 - I noticed to start, the default KDE splash theme has a grey bar which is not wide enough to fill the screen all the way! This is the minor part! :) * Clicking Enable in Desktop Effects did not do anything. * Some investigation drew me to try running compiz --replace manually and this did not work - it complained about the driver not being in the whitelist. Question: Where is the whitelist?! And why isn't the X.org "radeon" driver in it? * I set SKIP_CHECKS=yes in ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager as a lot of websites and wikis suggest and this enabled it to work just fine and ignore the whitelist. * However they also say "use kde4-window-decorator --replace" instead, which I tried, and was told by "command-not-found" that compiz-kde4 package was needed for this command. This is quite odd. Anyway after installing that package it works a little better, too, and I started testing with kde4-window-decorator. * Clicking Desktop Effects Enable does not do anything, still. It certainly does not turn on and off Desktop Effects. I am going to run through sometime this week or weekend and collect these problems into bug report(s) but I wondered if I was simply doing anything wrong. Considering desktop effects is meant to work out of the box I was curious to say the least that compiz-kde wasn't installed at all.. and I can't find any reference at all to the compiz system in any startkde4 or kwin script or wrappers for compiz (if indeed there are any, SUSE seems not to employ them as Ubuntu and Gentoo to). Can anyone tell me what I did wrong here? Once I have it sorted on x86 I am going to run off and build something on PowerPC.. -- Matt Sealey <matt(a)genesi-usa.com> Genesi, Manager, Developer Relations -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Intel is dropping the ball on their commitment to Linux, I fear. The code is open, however, so I guess there's no reason to not have drivers working well for all Intel chipsets. 11.0 ran fine on this laptop, so yes.....there's been a "regression" alright!

Well, it does boot in any case, so the error is at least in part incorrect, maybe we should change it to 'may' not boot instead of will not boot.

[opensuse-factory] XFS Boot Problem
by Quentin Jackson 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Anyone know why RC1 suddenly says it won't boot if I make /boot and XFS partition? I've been running XFS as a /boot partition since 10.3 with no problems and never noticed this message before. I'm installing now and don't know if it will or won't work but will let everyone know. I presume there is a change in code that has meant this message now presents itself?

[opensuse-factory] Notes on RC1
by Jan-Simon Möller 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi! Some notes about my installation of today. * There was a annoying pause wetween "loading basic drivers" and "loading installation system" * It took ages to discover the partitions (may be related) * Harddisk shown as "sdb" (also related ?) * I've a encrypted /home - it was not detected as encrypted and its _really_ bad to have to check the "encrypted" checkbox beneath the "format filesystem" selection even if you use "just mount" ! * In the expert partitions view you click on "Quit" and not on "Apply" as it should be. * In general it took me more time to create my setup with the new partitioner. But that could also be my personal habits. * It took ages for the "cracklib-dict-full extension" to load. If that's retrieved via network, don't load it, if no network is available. * I really like the new console messages for (2, 5, 6, 9) * Installation process itself is running stable and fast atm.

[opensuse-factory] Scanner-implementation with Yast fails
by Peter Hoyer 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hu listmates! I have an Officejet J 5780 in use under OS 11.1 KDE 4.1.3. Yast is providing a particular driver for the scanner. Hplip ist installed. The test scanner test in yast is ok, but when I try to start xsane, the program finds no scanning device and stops. This worked already under OS 11.0. Is there a workaround or has something changed which I am not aware of. Thanks in advance for any hints.

[opensuse-factory] 11.1RC1 32bits version, Netinstall.
by Oddball 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi, Did this yesterday on Armada E500. This time it did not fall back to ncurses, and so the url was working right away, without having to insert the server ip-address, which does look much more professional this way;) The installer modules 1-6 seem all 1Kb, so they *seem* ready much too soon, while they have to load all different values. This feels not good, because while showing: 100%, 'something' is still loading... I know these modules all have different sizes, so i don't worry about it, but you know what i mean? There were no issues with the partitioner here: Small HDD, only W2K:C, swap, /, and /home, the right proposel was made.. it felt real thrustworthy. Wifi works like a charm here now. The choice for ifup or NM seems much more mature, and going back to make another choice doesn't break anything now, not even when going back to test another interface, (pcmcia (card inserted before hw detection), or pci) I installed by cable, but after restarting also wifi was up imediately;) There are still issues with the updater applet, but after manualy install them via Yast2, it seems to work ok. Some strange triggering about the java webstart and flash auto updater,they get installed after an unexpected prompt to agree with the license agreement, but they show in kickstart, and work. Fresh install performed OK, two times server time-out, but after retry, both times imediately continuing. Some 865MB were downloaded to iinstall some 2.3 GB, (this goes prettty much faster than DL a whole DVD, waste a DVD, and still using 865MB to install...imo) Overall process: smooth and licked;) (welldone, this is going to be my preferred way of installing;) -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.)

[opensuse-factory] amarok 2 in RC 1: freeze when adding "media devices" applet
by Henning Schnoor 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi, I'm having a problem with amarok 2 in openSuSE 11.1 RC1 (intel 32 bit): When adding a "media devices" applet, the program freezes. Anyone else having the same problem? There does not seems to be a bug report on this. This is the amarok version from the DVD, not an update from packman or another online repository.
