[opensuse-factory] GMC livecds
by Stephan Kulow 06 Dec '08

Hi, Strictly speaking it's not Factory, but I put the GMC live cds at the usual place: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/FactoryLiveCDs/ It would be good to give the 11.1 kernel some testing.

[opensuse-factory] -br option not passed before starting k/gdm
by Giovanni Masucci 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hello to everybody, I'm on opensuse 11.1rc and I see at everyboot the old-style greish garbage when X is starting before the dm is loaded. This because the option -br is not passed. If I add it in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager I get a much more accetable black intro screen, like in most modern distribution. Is this intentional for some reason that I don't know? If not it would be nice to get rid of that ugly grey screen before 11.1 final. We are in 2008 after all :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] OpenSUSE Factory updates
by John Lange 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

I know I saw a post which explained that the Factory updates would be less frequent now that there are builds going on for RC1 (or something along that line). I'm new to Factory so I don't know what the previous frequency was but I'm only seeing new packages for Factory about once a week. Is this the expected frequency? I'm not complaining; I just thought that I'd be able to do a significant amount of testing leading up to the release date but at this frequency my testing is pretty much irrelevant. There would only be 2 more Factory "releases" before the official launch so I don't feel that I'm contributing in any significant way to the testing effort. I have a few bug tickets and at least one that has a posted solution: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434598 but I have no clue how to test it as there are no updates for Factory at this time. If I'm reading the bug report correctly, the only way to test would be to have the source for that package, apply the patch and recompile? If that's the way it is then that's OK but I would suggest however that having nightly builds of these things available would result in a larger testing audience. I'm hoping someone can clue me in on how to be a more effective tester.

[opensuse-factory] How to use system if even keyboard dont work right? (bnc 432627)
by Виталий Томин 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

In all development releases since beta2 (maybe even earlier) backspace on my keyboard dont work russian keyboard layout. I think this issue not only about russian keyboard layout, but all others cases with two or more keyboard layouts. I've tried to ask for SHIP_STOPPER, but there is not much comments on bug and was rejected. I think it was happened because small nuber of peoples who report bugs use more than one keyboard layout. When I ask who have this issue in factory openSUSE on one of russian linux forums I found that all have this issue, and some peoples comment out bnc432627 with their experience and provide more information. Also I've found that the same issue reproduces in 11.0 with kde3.5 when I install XOrg 7.4 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.0/ If bug will go to release how I should promote or just recommend system where even keyboard dont work? What I should say to peoples who ask why it happened and what can be done? I think openSUSE will loose a lot of users, who use more than one keyboard layout. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Problems with opensuse 11.1 + bzflag
by TooMany Secrets 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hi! I've installed opensuse 11.1 rc (1/2?) updated past Wednesday 3, between 9 or 9:30 AM. The desktop is a Gnome 2.24, and the bzflag game is the incorporated in this release. When I try to play to bzflag, all run fine... less the sound. No sound for this game, but yes for systems' sounds. I've included my user in all "pulse*" groups, but without any result. Anybody could help me, please? Thank you very much. -- Have a nice day ;-) TooManySecrets ============================ Dijo Confucio: "Exígete mucho a ti mismo y espera poco de los demás.

I've found why this issue happens. It is old bugfix, made as hack in file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common there are lines: # # Fix keyboard layout on newer Xservers (Bug #368673, Bug #433983) # xdpyinfo | grep -q "X.Org version: 6.9.0" || \ setxkbmap -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY when I commnet out it or remove, all works pretty good, no more strange keymaps, all keys works. Please, include it in GM, really nessesary fix for russian users. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Strace update
by Rajko M. 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Strace update (broken). ....................... After giving password, updater tells that I can't do update, and advice to use YOU. Used YOU and it complains that it can't satisfy dependencies. I selected not to update. Later, updater has the same update, but this time it updates without asking password. BTW: What kind of information this test should provide? -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Unable to boot with fresh install - Disk not found errors
by Jeremy Figgins 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hi, I've got an Acer laptop, AMD Sempron, 512MB ram, SiS chipset (including the IDE controller). The 11.1 beta 5 and RC 1 behaved absolutely identically in all that follows: After a fresh install, I get the following messages: blogd: can not open pty/tty pair: No such file or directory Trying manual resume from /dev/disk/by-id/ata-IC25N080ATMR04-0_MRA401K7K7Y9DH-part3 (swap) This is followed by some USB messages and then: Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/ata-IC25N080ATMR04-0_MRA401K7K7Y9DH-part2 (/) to appear: ...... not found Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/ata-IC25N080ATMR04-0_MRA401K7K7Y9DH-part2? (Y/n) If I select 'no', I go immediately to the shell. If I select 'yes', it searches again and then dumps me to the shell. modprobe -l lists the following ide modules: ide-core.ko pci/sis5513.ko pci/ide-pci-generic.ko ide-disk.ko I've tried both the beta 5 and RC1. Neither would install with images enabled. Both installs generated no error messages if installed without images. Originally, my Linux partitions were in an extended partition. I eliminated that and now they are primary partitions. I've tried installing everything to a single partition and that didn't help. I tried using the default kernel (instead of the PAE), but that didn't help either. I get the feeling that the kernel is not properly recognizing my drives. Are there any kernel flags that I could try?
