Yes, i see. So that, while KDE 4.1 will still be under development and not even really have all the features, wouldn´t it be better to stay with 3.5.x as default KDE? Why is KDE 4.0.x replaced KDE 3.5.x as default KDE?

[opensuse-factory] buildservice firefox3
by Felix Miata 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Does this work for anyone? I tried to use 1-click to install it, but in the middle of whatever YaST or zypper was doing at the time, the machine spontaneously rebooted, something that happened last night within a minute of trying to use KDE4 for the first time, but never otherwise. So, after restart, I did a manual download of xulrunner 190 and firefox3 and used rpm -ivh to install them. When I try to run it from Konsole, I get: line 123: 3586 segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@" :-( On same machine in Kubuntu Hardy, native FF3b4 works just fine.

[opensuse-factory] Samba 3.0.28a and the ability to support Windows Server 2008 AD joining
by Birger Kollstrand 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hi , We are struggling at work with joining AD 2008 with openSUSE 10.3 clients. During the process we have seen that this is a bug in Samba that is fixed in the Samba 3.0.28a release, released the 8th of March. Checking in on factory I noticed that it is the 3.0.28 packagaes that is in. Would it be possible to upgrade these packages to the latest official Samba release? http://packages.opensuse-community.org/index.jsp?distro=SUSE_Factory&search… http://news.samba.org/releases/samba_3_0_28a_download/ Would it also be possible to add the packages for 3.0.28a for SLES 10.1 and openSUSE10.3 at http://en.opensuse.org/Samba ? (Or a build service repository?) Currently we are a bit afraid that we will get in to trouble with a SLES 10.1 fileserver we have :-) But our major problem is that we use openSUSE 10.3 for some dev teams and they can't join new machines to the upgraded AD infrastructure. We are more than happy to test the packages!

[opensuse-factory] Alpha 3 installation on PPC
by Richard (MQ) 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

A few notes regarding OpenSuSE 11.0 Alpha 3 installation on PPC system (more precisely, a 1999 Opal Blue iMac, 350 MHz PPC and 512M RAM) 1. Installation actually ran very smoothly, apart from problems with partitioning leading to being unable to boot the installed system (except by chain from install CD). This is an old problem on iMac, still not resolved. On Alpha 3, at the proposal stage of installation, under 'booting', YaST incorrectly states that the boot partition is NFS so it can't install the boot-loader. This is easily missed as the proposal is accepted anyway and installation starts. This is a bug in itself -> opened on Bugzilla as #374693 Tried using an ex-iMac HD (with MAC partition table) and an ex-PC unit with a 'normal' partition table. Also tried using Apple's HD preparation tool (e.g. on an OS-9 install CD) to prep the disc, none of these made any difference. 2. Use of NTP server for time & date is fixed (broken in alpha 2 IME) - great. 3. Selected xfce4 as the desktop (good to see it there in the menu, especially for these slower boxes) but icefm starts instead - not so nice! This sounds like it might be related to bug #372506 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372506) except that the work-around: edit /etc/... doesn't seem to help. 4. Once desktop is up, YaST runs OK except for Boot manager which segfaults on start. That's even worse than the behaviour during installation, may be related - added to the above bug report. A great shame about these problems as, once booted, it runs really nicely, especially with xfce4. -- 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] Important change: payload different
by Stephan Kulow 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Hi, I kind of hinted it already, but we finally made the switch: rpm is using lzma payload now: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2008-03/msg01081.html Expect a painful transistion phase. We found already quite some places where we needed to install newer tools and I'm waiting for more to come. But it's really worth it.
