[opensuse-factory] Vnc strange behaviour with 11.0b3 / factory
by Richard (MQ) 27 May '08

27 May '08

Does anyone else see the strange behaviour that I'm getting with VNC on 11.0b3 & with current factory? If I run the server with "vncserver -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 16" it works fine, but "vncserver -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24" causes an un-viewable mess, looks like 4 copies overlaid on each other. # rpm -qi tightvnc reports: Version : 1.3.9 Release : 65 (server, OSL 11.0B3 / Factory) & Version : 1.2.9 Release : 224 (viewer, OSL 10.2) Simple work-around is to use -depth 16 but there must be a bug somewhere? Or is it my dev system? I use VNC all the time and have never seen this before. -- 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] Beta3 and root filesystem
by Arto Viitanen 27 May '08

27 May '08

Funny thing happened when I installed 11.0 Beta 3 onto my PC. When installing new version of Linux, I format my partitions (swap, boot and root). For Beta 3 installation, I told to use my partitions instead of making own. It installed ok, with some problems I thought were because of Beta 3. For example, when pressing $ and ~ keys I did not get characters. Well, on Thursday I thought to take backups. I use xfs on root partition, and use xfsdump for backup. However, it told / is not filesystem. I typed "xf", and there was no / filesystem! Today I reinstalled Beta 3 and found out that the installation has "do not mount filesystem" as default. I made it mount the / and now my keyboard works! So, where was my / directory on the previous try, and why did the installation not warn about missing root ? -- Arto Viitanen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Windows Domain in 11.0 beta3
by Chris Arnold 26 May '08

26 May '08

OK, i have successfully installed 11.0 beta 3. I was able to join our 2004 domain but after a system restart, i am not able to login as a domain user. No domain field exists at the login screen. Like i said, the joining part worked fine but not able to login as a domain user. Is there any way to fix this? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 11.0 Beta3 gets different IP address from DHCP server
by Mark Gray 26 May '08

26 May '08

It appears that the DHCP client for 11.0 Beta3 consistently gets a different IP address than 10.2 does from the DHCP server in my DSL router. If this is not a bug, it might be well to mention this in the release notes, because I am probably not the only one who uses /etc/hosts to configure their local network. I hesitate to report this as a bug because there are easy enough ways around this -- just changing my /etc/hosts files being the easiest. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] "overlapping" packages in repositories
by Bart Whiteley 26 May '08

26 May '08

I just tried a 'zypper ref; zypper dup' for the first time on 11.0 beta3. It mostly worked, but I encountered several errors of the form "File '<package>' not found on medium ...". When the transaction was complete, I ran 'zypper ref; zypper dup' again, and the packages that failed the first time were successfully upgraded. I suspect that these packages were updated in the repository during the first transaction, so when zypper tried to find them, the old versions were no longer present. Are there any plans to solve this problem? Some other distributions solve this problem by keeping the old packages in the repository for a day or two when new packages are inserted in the repository. This way local metadata that was refreshed recently (within reason) will always have corresponding packages to work against, even if some packages (and the metadata) have been updated in the repository since the metadata was refreshed locally. In my opinion, a zypper transaction should never fail due to newer packages in the repository, if the metadata was recently refreshed locally. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] HDD Recognition in Beta3
by Stefan Kunze 26 May '08

26 May '08

Hi, i installed the Beta 3 (x86_64) in a PC with 2 SATA HDD and 1 IDE Drive. The Installation should be a dualboot with 10.3 and 11.0Beta3. Unfortunately the HDD are recognized in a different way. 10.3 SATA 1 - sda SATA 2 -sdb IDE - sdc 11.0 Beta3 - IDE - sda SATA1 - sdb SATA2 -sdc After the installation i have Problems booting the 10.3 because GRUB is looking for the wrong partitions. Should i report a bug or is this intended behavior?

This isn't a good mix. DHCP servers usually are able to assign fixed IPs based on the MAC address of the network card. But the ones in DSL router usually don't have this option. The easiest solution for a small home network would be to use DHCP and let it do the whole configuration for you. There should be no need to make changes in /etc/hosts.

[opensuse-factory] ALERT: Confirm this re 11.0 Beta3 current upgrades
by Basil Chupin 26 May '08

26 May '08

Confirm this for yourself. In recent messages it has been indicated that there is a problem with the kernel which was upgraded in the past (?)few days when zypper goes to upgrade 11.0 Beta3. Not so as far as I am concerned. The problem lies somewhere else. And this is what I am asking you to be aware of and to confirm. A short while ago I re-installed 11.0 Beta3 after trying a suggestion to fix the non-boot problem of 11.0 Beta3 after the recent upgrades by doing, amongst things, "rm /.buildenv and calling mkinitrd". Other suggestions also failed, so I decided to re-install 11.0 Beta3 from the DVD, but after installing it I wasn't going to allow zypper or smart to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.25.4-2 which is claimed to be the the cause of all the problems. Well, it's not the kernel ...25.4-2. Something else in the Factory to upgrade 11.0 Beta3 is causing the big-time problem. If you install 11.0 Beta3 to test it then do not allow it to be upgraded by zypper. (Just for the record, the version I have installed - and before the latest upgrades it was working fine - is the 32-bit version and I was using KDE4 to see what it looked liked.)

[opensuse-factory] Beta 3 shows won't update on Battery?
by Larry Stotler 26 May '08

26 May '08

Well, this is a new one. I've got Beta3 installed on my Thinkpad 390X. It's got a really long life battery. It's currently at about 60% remaining. When I restored the kde taskbar updater, I got this message: Unable to check whether updates are available. The system is on battery. Please connect a power supply. Ok, why is this? I'm not "allowed" to update if I am running on battery? Shouldn't that be MY choice???

[opensuse-factory] using firefox over ssh -X
by Dominique Leuenberger 25 May '08

25 May '08

Hi, I experiance a strange and actually very annoying thing: I ssh -X to my other box (openSUSE 10.2) from my Factory box. I'll call the 10.2 install PC, and the Factory NB. So, I ssh -X from the NB to the PC. I can start all sort of X-Applications on PC and have the screen pointing on NB. Exactly what I want to happen. rpm -q MozillaFirefox on PC shows it's version 2.x.x.x installed if in a terminal on PC (connected using ssh -X) I type firefox, as requested, a firefox is showed on my display on NB. BUT: It's the locally installed FF 3.0 from the factory installation on my NB. this is NOT what I want to happen. If I'd want THIS, then I'd NOT ssh to the other box. There IS a reason for me to do so (beyond the scope of this mail). Can you confirm that this is happening? Is this supposed to happen? If yes: Why? If no: already a bug filed or shall I do so? I'm not sure if it's rather a factory issue or a 10.2 issue, or FF in general.

[opensuse-factory] How do changed & new modules enter 'openSUSE'?
by Linda Walsh 25 May '08

25 May '08

So how do changed and new modulels get into the openSUSE factory tree? Is there any control on how packages are added to the tree both at its creation and during its pre-release testing? I'm wondering how a package gets checked into the tree that doesn't appear to have a source that builds? To developers make changes then check them into the openSUSE tree to be 'tested' by the community or do developers ensure they compile before checking them in? Maybe the developer's have something different in their environment than I'm using? Else I don't see how the openssh-keyconverter sub-util in the openssh-5.0p1 source package would not block re-generation of the RPM from the source RPM... ??? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] New approach, or test?

Hi, Kick-off contains links to many YaST2 mobules since version '19.1'. They are found in the apps tab, under new apps. Is this going to stay this way, as new configuration approach for new users, or is it timed to go away after a while? (when they are not new anymore?) I must say that it looks very open, not hidden behind a wrench anynore. Besides that it looks faster, to directly enter the module one needs. Room enough in kick-off anyway....

[opensuse-factory] Does PolicyKit-kde really require kdebase4-runtime < 4.0.60 ?

Just tried to update from factory, and PolicyKit-kde is throwing up a mess of dependency errors, due to me using KDE4/UNSTABLE.

Anyone know if this is a packaging error that I can ignore, or is there a real incompatibility with KDE 4.1? Any assistance appreciated...

[opensuse-factory] Beta3 in vmware, no screen resize, and no mouse release
by Sunny 23 May '08

23 May '08

Hi, I installed 11.0 Beta 3 (32 bit) as guest in vmware virtual machine. Everything went OK. After the installation, in SOftware management it suggested to install vmware-kpm-pae package, which contains various vmware modules. After restart, it used vmnet for the network card (as expected). X is using the vmware driver as well. The problem is, that it does not resize the screen when I change from normal to "QuickSwitch" or FullScreen mode, as it does if I install vmware tools from vmware (I did not try on beta3, but thats how it worked on 10.3 and other guests). Also, X by default uses the standard mouse.ko module, but not vmmouse.ko, which prevents the "auto-release" functionality, i.e. I need to hit Ctrl-Alt in order to release the mouse pointer from the vm. Changing the mouse driver in xorg.conf to vmmouse solved this problem. Does anyone knows how to enable the auto-resize feature, and how to make the clipboard work between the host and the vm?

Installed 11.0 beta 3, kde, 64-bit and then ran then updater. When I did that I rebooted and not it says "file not found" right after selecting to boot SuSE. FWIW normally after a kernel upgrade it will show both the new and old kernel version in the list but not in this case I only have "openSUSE 11.0," "Windows," and "OpenSuSE 11.0 Failsafe" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Dropdownbox missing in menu in loginscreen..

Hi, Until this version: System: openSUSE 11.0 (x86_64) Beta3 KDE: 4.0.4 (KDE 4.0.4 >= 20080505) "release 8.1" there is a dropdownbox in the close menu in menu in the lower left corner of the loginscreen. From the menu in that box, one could choose to directly boot into another os. In this version: System: openSUSE 11.0 (x86_64) Beta3plus KDE: 4.0.4 (KDE 4.0.4 >= 20080505) "release 19.1" That dropdownbox is gone.

[opensuse-factory] OSuSE 11.0 devel Q: has pthreads library location changed?
by Linda Walsh 22 May '08

22 May '08

This is a dup of a post to the general discussion list (OS(a)OS.O), but though someone here might be better informed as to what's going into 11.0 ... In 10.3 and most linux builds I've run into so far, 'pthreads' is usually in a separate pthreads library. Has this changed in 11.0? Would they have been moved into some library included by default during a build & link (like glibc)? Seems like that would be an odd change to make since outside tarballs that use pthreads would likely have a -lpthreads in the final link stage and if OS11 moves them, all those make files would require a different link line for OS11 (i.e. -- one that doesn't try to include what would be a non-existent pthreads library). The reason I'm asking is I'm looking at a make designed to run on OS11, and I'm getting link errors for the various pthread functions -- all of the functions seem to be missing when the final program is being linked (and it doesn't have an explicit -lpthreads on the link line). Thus my wondering is it the case that pthreads are being moved into one of the standardly linked-with libraries (like glibc -- not requiring explicit naming on the command line), or does linking against against libpthreads happen automatically on the 'gcc' of the future (the one to be in OS11.0)? Thanks!... -Linda --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Xen not starting after upgrade to 11b3plus

Hi, I had Xen running on my OpenSuSE 11b2 and today I made a "zypper dup" to install the latest version of OSS 11.

There are no error messages on the screen and last entry is "Xen is relinquishing VGA console" :-( Any idea how to solve this?

[opensuse-factory] k3b problems
by Dave Plater 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hi, I've started to have a problem with k3b not having write permission for my dvd writer when run as normal user. Further, when run as root, k3b claimed that it could not find growisofs. I inserted a search path direct to growisofs and it seems to have solved that problem. I would normally just downgrade to previous versions in order to find and file a bug report but unfortunately I've upgraded too many things and k3b still has the problem after downgrading to several previous versions. Can anybody help me to find the cause?

[opensuse-factory] screen blanks while installation still proceeding

21 May '08

I've searched for this, and found nothing open, but plenty old bugs fixed or wontfixed. From reading https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=116322 it seems maybe there might be some optional installation parameter to prevent what seems to be some sort of screen "saving" mechanism that cuts in after 20 or so minutes with no keyboard or mouse activity. Anyone know? It seems really odd and annoying that installation must be attended by periodic keyboard or mouse activity just to make sure something is still happening. -- ". . . . in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you . . . ."

[opensuse-factory] Most Annoying Bugs 11.0 Beta3 -- Upgrade doesn't call SuSEconfig
by Lukas Ocilka 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hi, I've just added a new "most-annoying-bug" to http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.0_dev#General It has been reported that some files on system have strange permissions after system upgrade (Installation->Upgrade). https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=390930 This bug might cause strange behavior of some services or applications. You can fix their permissions by simply calling `SuSEconfig` which should change them to the default ones. Not only permissions will be fixed but they are the most obvious problem. Bye Lukas

[opensuse-factory] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 21

Hi, Beta3 is tested pretty well, the number of bug reports we see coming in gives a pretty good feeling of it's usage in real life scenarios - some even read the most annoying bugs first :) What's missing is coordinated testing atm - so far only 12 of 207 features are registered as tested, this is a pretty bad ratio. Right now I see 84 critical+blocker for 11.0 - many of them are hardware specifics. I released factory snapshots of USB and CD images - the USB shows just too many USB specific problems to be worthy, so I kind of decided to kill this idea again ;( This week we'll do an internal beta3plus and have another public holiday in Germany, so I think I'll upload new factory snapshots tomorrow and leave you alone for the long weekend :) Greetings, Stephan -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
