Yes, it was intentional to remove the icon as our quest to clean up software-related part of the YaST control center. We go too far according to feedback. OTOH, we did not make it clean up the automatic online update setup, which has to wait for 11.1 :( Stano --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Getting errors "Root privileges are required" and "su returned with an error"
by Doctor Who 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

This is after an upgrade to Factory from openSUSE 10.3. In addition, the 'sux' command is no longer found. When trying to update, for example, I never get prompted for the root password and updating fails with "Root privileges are required" and "su returned with an error". What changed and how can I get the old update behavior back? Perhaps a 'sudo' issue? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] some comments about usabilty, regarding repositories
by Gabriel 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

I found quite hard to find how to add the Community Repositories. It take some time to me to find out that it is hidden in the Software Management module. I think the approach of 10.3, having a separated module to manage Community Repositories is better. Specially for new users, who don't have idea of such function. I found it because I know it so I started to search it. But, IHMO is not the best for new users. And, as I read in other messages, your target are the newbies. -- Kind Regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 17
by Stephan Kulow 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Hi, Beta1 is out and we see a lot of testing by a lot of you, many thanks for that. You can see the status of it in the list of most annoying bugs - not too bad, not too good either :) But I want to stress an important page, that Holgi was so nice to put together: the list of implemented features: http://en.opensuse.org/Testing:Features_11.0 Why is this important? Because these features are often the reason for changes that cause bugs and as such are the central thing to test for new products. So beside your usual "this is what I'm doing with it" testing, it would be perfect if everyone could look at some. For details how we think it could be done, see the text on the page: > If you want to help testing, select the feature you want to test, edit this > page and set it's "Testing Result" to "running" when starting the tests. > After finishing the test, please edit the page again and set the result > either to "passed" or to "failed". > > If the test do not pass, please also create a bug report in Bugzilla (see > Bug Reporting FAQ for details) including the "Feature No". > > If you are unable to finish the test, please reset the status from "running" > to "idle". Thanks a lot for your support. Please note that this is the first time we're doing it this way. Hopefully we'll have better tools for future versions, so we'll gladly hear your feedback on what works and what doesn't.

[opensuse-factory] User and root defaults
by Vahis 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

The new installer defaults feel even more strange than the old ones. In the old ones there was automatic login as default which I never accepted. I got used to remove automatic login as well as turn on receiving root mail. Now the new defaults go even further towards the other OS. If there must be automatic login as default, so be it, I can live with that But why is the user password also the sysadmin pw as default? I can live with that, too, but is this a good thing really? Is this feature one of those "good things" that the other OS is said to have? I'm in the middle of installing and configuring, so I don't have a real opinion on that yet, though :) I have made the first installation using KDE4 defaults all the way and that's no biggie personally cos it can be changed but I'm wondering...

[opensuse-factory] updating Beta1
by Basil Chupin 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

I am sorry to ask but it seems that I have missed reading about what URLs need to be used (by zypper) to be able to update/upgrade Beta 1. I have installed Beta 1 (32-bit) from the DVD and while during the installation process the test of the Internet connection failed and the 'update server' could not be reached, and the Release Notes, therefore, could not be downloaded, I nevertheless managed to find the way to 'enable' the Repositories in YaST's Software Management. (To cut a long story short, initially I right-clicked on the icon in the bottom-right of the taskbar and selected the Repositories option; after this zypper went away and came back to inform me that there were 847 upgrades to be performed and when I 'told' it to do the upgrades the whole sheebang sat there like a stunned mullet doing absolutely nothing at which point I terminated the process. Then I found the new place (!) where the repositories are 'configured' at which point Yast decided to inform me that non of the listed repositories are accessible - or words to this affect.) However, zypper, when "told" to check for upgrades, shows an Error for each repository. I am assuming that the name of the URLs has changed. Could someone please tell me what the URLs should be for the OSS and the NON-OSS are (and whatever else which needs to be enabled and their URLs)?

Last week a day that had only half hour to read emails, the computer was given for making the damned ext3 fsck on home and took more than an hour. The home partition is of about 160 gb, and is at about 85% ocuppied. Opensuse 11 will come with reiser4? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
