[opensuse-factory] openoffice.org for PPC factory
by Peter Czanik 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hello, Until now I tested smaller office sw on PPC, like abiword + gnumeric and koffice. Now I wanted to install OpenOffice.org, but I could not as OpenOffice.org is not available. Looking at the logs at https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=ppc&package=OpenOffi… I see, that it was last tried to build beginning August. Could you please trigger a rebuild, and check if it works now?

[opensuse-factory] packagekitd keeps locking system management
by John Lange 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

It seems that pretty much every time I try and run zypper I get a message like the following: System management is locked by the application with pid 5750 (/usr/sbin/packagekitd). Close this application before trying again. If I try it a few times the message goes away and zypper works. Now I understand there is an applet that checks to see if there updates at first boot but this message happens no matter how long I've been logged in and I believe has even reoccurred after running zypper previously. It seems like packagekitd keeps starting and stopping?

[opensuse-factory] Problem with kupdateapplet in RC1
by Henning Schnoor 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi list, I installed 11.1 RC1 (fresh install from DVD image), and have two problems with the updater applet using KDE 4.1: 1. Upgrades are not shown, even if YaST displays them. This problem appears both with the Packagekit and the zypper plugin. Is there some option that I need to turn on in addition to "show available upgrades if backend provides them"? 2. When installing patches (these are shown correctly), the first authorization dialog fails: I get an error message about missing user permissions (sorry, need to wait for the next available patches to get the exact wording). On a second try, updating starts, but I'm not asked for a password again (hence I don't think I mis-typed). 3. Even when updating starts (this again applies only to patches, I could not get upgrades of packages to show in the applet), after the first try, the same patches still showed as available. Repeating the procedure again then installed the patches. 4. The progress dialog does not report which patch is applied, it just reads "updating", with the progressbar not indicating a percentage, but going back from 0 to 100 and back continously. Does anyone else have these problems, or am I doing something wrong?

[opensuse-factory] FEDORA 10
by Fred A. Miller 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

FEDORA 10 is now available. Reportedly they have used the i810 driver and it works with the i965 chipset. Maybe that's what should be used with 11.1, since Intel nor anyone else seems able to get the current driver to work properly.

Henning, It sounds like the solution to my problems is to upgrade to 11.1 where the Yast system tray applet is replaced by kupdateapplet.

I figured they were coming right in the GM release. It always says I don't have permission to install them, but keeps telling me they are there.

[opensuse-factory] Problem with KDE YaST system tray applet
by JC Francois 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi, I am using OpenSUSE 11.0 + KDE4 from the factory repository. Recently I noticed that the YaST system tray applet (with the SUSE logo that turns into a red warning sign or a yellow sun) stopped functioning correctly. It seems to identify correctly what packages need a patch or are upgradable but when I click on install: * with patches selected on the patch tab -> I am prompted for root password then nothing happens at all * with packages selected on the upgrade tab -> I am prompted for root password then get the following error message"kdesu(9820)/kdesu (kdelibs) KDESu::KDESuClient::command: [ /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kdelibs-4.1.3/kdesu/client.cpp : 196 ] no reply from daemon" If I use YaST2 or zypper I can perform the upgrades without problem. ~/jc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Media Administration of KDE has not been startet
by Peter Hoyer 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

I have tried to start in amarok 1.4 via the media menue media as mp3 from my usb-drive and get a message which I would translate with: "Media Administration of KDE has not been startet." The opening process stops then. Have no access to usb drive from amarok, but from dolphin, kaffein etc. This worked in 11.0, but fails now in 11.1 whether KDE 4.1.3 or 4.1.80.
