[opensuse-factory] Factory repo
by Stephan Kulow 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi, The current repository has broken patterns and it can take a while for i386 to recover from an internal build system problem (the base package coreutils was split and caused some trouble). So don't report broken Factory repo - it may take till Friday for download.o.o to have an uptodate repository as we need to rebuild.

[opensuse-factory] zypp: A little warning
by Stephan Kulow 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi, Right now factory is broken and I don't know when zypper 0.10 will hit you, but I want to warn you: You will need to find some other time to cook your tea now. But it of course comes with a graint of salt: please look even closer if the results are meaningful. So please use the saved time to make sure beta1 works the way it should.

Therefore, do not understand I have been watching the logs and no miro any failure by any side concerning the card, which I have been noticing is that the problem is the same distribution why send this email to the problem is solved in the next version, suse many users have had the same problem as we see in www.forosuse.org, the problem is that with the distribution Ubuntu, and mandriva runs very well compiz fusion while suse anything, I have done a thousand configuration xorg.conf and nothing.

[opensuse-factory] yast repositories and software management
by Volker Kuhlmann 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

The yast software management module still takes a rather long time to start up. I often do this and then find myself missing a repository, or an enable switch on one of them. So far this has always meant having to exit the software module again because they lock each other out. How much chance is there to be able to call the repository module from within the software module?

[opensuse-factory] alpha2 installation problems
by Volker Kuhlmann 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

There's a mean bug with the window asking whether to proceed with installation and start formatting disks - clicking outside that window brings the rest of the graphics to the front and the popup window disappears forever, wasting all effort so far. While configuring the installation there are massive problems accessing the IDE disk - effective 500k/s transfer rate, iowait 98%, highest system load is top with 2%. Always when "analyzing the system" for boot loader configuration, but in other places too. It's a PII-450 with Intel MX chipset, so chances are noone cares, but it runs perfect with 10.3. Is this expected behaviour or a bug? Btw the graphics is really cool and the time zone selection map is wow^3! The installation config is streamlined in a positive way, no problems encountered. It's installation packages now while I have a good night's sleep.

Hi, I was trying to install opensuse-11.0-Alpha2 on Power6 box. I got failures when trying to select n/w port .. *** No network device found. Load a network module first. Following are the modules which are already loaded cdrom ATAPI CD-ROM Driver scsi_mod SCSI CD-ROM driver SCSI Disk Driver SCSI Tape Driver NFS Client IBM Power Linux RAID adapter USB Mass Storage Device Driver POWER6 ehea Symbios 53c8xx As netboot was not working..I have booted p6 box with "inst64" up via local yaboot loader(pre-installed OS). After booting up I selected NFS , then n/w port to be used.Other than above modules i selected ibmveth, iseries virtual ethernet drivers also.

[opensuse-factory] Make SDL default ALSA device "hw" instead of "default"?
by Christian Morales Vega 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

The SDL API doesn't allows the developer to select the audio device. It just does: #define DEFAULT_DEVICE "default" ... static const char *get_audio_device(int channels) { const char *device; device = SDL_getenv("AUDIODEV"); /* Is there a standard variable name? */ if ( device == NULL ) { if (channels == 6) device = "surround51"; else if (channels == 4) device = "surround40"; else device = DEFAULT_DEVICE; } return device; } I don't understand the motives (someone here does?), but setting AUDIODEV to "hw" works better than "default" in some cases (sometimes default works better?). All the info about the problem I found is http://mednafen.sourceforge.net/documentation/#using-cli , that says: "This is necessary because ALSA's "default" audio device has very poor buffering control capabilities." I just found again the problem with GuitarFun ( http://www.elotrolado.net/hilo_-JUEGO--Guitarfun-PC-2-0--homebrew-_948414 ). But I remember having the same problem in the past with other software. So, should SDL be patched to '#define DEFAULT_DEVICE "hw"'? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] new mysql bootscript to support the start of multiple database
by Richard Bos 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hi, [one more try, to get someone to try the new startup script for mysql. Or did someone try it out already?] anybody out there that want to test a new mysql rpm, that supports the start of multiple databases during system startup (and stop during shutdown)? The rpm and it's dependencies can be retrieved from this repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database:/mysql51/openSUS… (a 10.3 version is available as well) The /etc/init.d/mysql script has 2 legs: - 1 with code that is currently in use - and a leg with the new code, that starts and stops multiple databases With a variable in /etc/sysconfig/mysql (or in the sysconfig editor Applications/Mysql) one can select which leg to use. To use the new code the variable MYSQLD_MULTI has to be set "yes". The code to start the multiple databases uses mysqld_multi that comes with the mysql code to start the databases. Databases can be added using the databases sections at the bottom of /etc/my.cnf Looking forward to test reports! -- Richard Bos We are borrowing the world of our children, It is not inherited from our parents. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Problem booting 11.0 Alpha 2 on iMAC (PPC)
by Richard (MQ) 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hi List, With installation now complete (!) I now have problems booting on this iMAC G3 (350 MHz PPC, 512M RAM). It runs fairly well when started via boot CD -> install -> "boot installed system", but iMAC "Open Firmware" (as I believe the BIOS equivalent is known?) won't see it, I just get the flashing "?" Network Installation used default options for everything (especially language / timezone etc. - that bug bites on PPC too) but I examined the suggestions and they all looked sensible. In a nutshell: /dev/hda1 8G Extended Extended partition /dev/hda5 32M MacHFS no mount, boot loader /dev/hda6 768M Linux Swap swap /dev/hda7 5G Linux (ext3) / /dev/hda8 ~2G Linux (ext3) /home Before I head off to Bugzilla, does anyone have any suggestions please? I've looked on various fora and even tried googling "linux imac boot" without any joy :-( -- 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] Alpha 2 won't install on PPC (iMAC)
by Richard (MQ) 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Doing a network install on iMAC G5 (PPC), after setting up network and FTP data, screen shows "Loading Installation System". Once loaded and booted, hundreds of lines of errors similar to: "/usr/lib/YaST2/startup/common/logging.sh: cut: command not found" and "/sbin/inst_setup: line 270: awk: command not found" Install aborts at this point. No opportunity to set up alternate logging (e.g. to network) so logs not available to attach. Same machine runs 10.3 OK-ish (at least the installation works!) Bug 360561 submitted 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] Install of 11.0 alpha 2 hangs on host setup
by Sunny 14 Feb '08

Hi, I just filed a bug report: <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=361866> As not everybody reads/checks the bug database, I decided to ask here if someone lese has hit this problem? The installation hangs on setting up /etc/hosts. Cheers -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
