[opensuse-factory] Plasma eats my CPU!
by Jörg von Frantzius 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hi, "Systemüberwachung" shows plasma constantly taking ~44% of my CPU, i.e. it keeps one core of my dual-core CPU busy. Does anybody else see the same?

[opensuse-factory] kexec
by Sid Boyce 04 May '08

04 May '08

I was reminded of kexec the other day when an old pal mentioned an upgrade had advised a reboot to bring in an updated openSUSE kernel. I installed kexec-tools, did a load "kexec -l <new_kernel> --initrd=initrd<new_kernel>" followed by an execute "kexec -e". The switch took less than 10 seconds, I didn't really time it. KDE took it's usual time on top. For the impatient, it's the fastest way to bring in a new kernel. I played with kexec while it was still very new - late 2002/early 2003, with mixed success back then, but it seems to have matured and is turned on in openSUSE kernels. Any developer playing with this under the back stairs? Like the man said, sounds awesome, but hardly ever talked about. I like the idea of kjump, may be one day it will stabilise. http://kerneltrap.org/node/11756 talks about 4.5 seconds on a laptop. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] kdm broken after upgrade: /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/SUSE cannot be read
by Jörg von Frantzius 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hi, after upgrading my openSuse 11 install today (using Yast) and rebooting, instead of the kdm login screen I only get the error message "Die Design-Datei /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/SUSE kann nicht ausgelesen werden" Does anybody know what may be missing and what I can do about it? The path does exist, and there also is a suse.xml in that directory. Thanks, Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] beta 2 first impression :(
by Volker Kuhlmann 04 May '08

04 May '08

Yast refuses to install a boot loader for a raid1 config, it always gets the wrong disk in grub.conf, and boot loader installation fails. (Will enter bug report for this.) While investigating the problem (install over ssh) eth0 decided to go offline. Putting that back up made sshd exit. Restarting sshd allowed logins, but they all got stuck immediately with no reaction (it appears SSH_TTY in /root/.bash_profile was empty). Don't see how to restarting the installer. With some luck the system was far enough installed that the after-reboot part works once I get the box booted, but that'll have to be some other time.

[opensuse-factory] update state monitor?
by Robert Kaiser 03 May '08

03 May '08

Hi all, Is there some kind of monitor in existence that could tell people if an update to factory is currently going public, i.e. being uploaded to download.opensuse.org, and/or when the last one finished and the next one is supposed to happen? This could make it easier to not go and run an update on a repo that is changing while one is installing from it. Additionally, it might be nice for such a monitor to list packages that currently have some kind of failure in the build system and are not updated, so potential problems can be seen before starting an update.

[opensuse-factory] xfce 'branding' missing
by Toni Harbaugh-Blackford 02 May '08

02 May '08

Hi- I tried to install Factory today, and all seems to go well except that I cannot select the XFCE desktop because the XFCE branding package is missing. Is there some way to force installation of XFCE without the branding?

[opensuse-factory] dhcp not working anymore
by Putrycz, Erik 02 May '08

02 May '08

I upgraded last night from alpha 1 to factory and my network controller cannot get a DHCP address anymore. There is no error message anywhere, just the dhpcd timeout on waiting for an address... My computer is a Dell Precision 390 and the integrated controller is a Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02). I have the 64 bit version installed.

[opensuse-factory] Cannot update kdebase3 on factory
by Doctor Who 01 May '08

01 May '08

1) Using the openSUSE updater, I cannot update any kdebase3 packages. It just fails with no error and when I select the updater again, they are still there. I'm currently logged in to kde3, so could this cause the problem? Other kde3 packages update fine. 2) On a somewhat related note, why does running 'zypper update -t package' not show any updates and the openSUSE updater does? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
