[opensuse-factory] Include pcspkr as a module so we can disable it
by John M. Anderson 19 May '08

19 May '08

Some of us are very annoyed by the pc speaker when working in console and I think it'd be nice to just compile the pcspkr module in as a module that way it can be removed easily. Here is the bug report on this that was posted for 10.3: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340657 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] B3 on R51
by James Tremblay 18 May '08

18 May '08

Guys, B3 is unbelievable, I downloaded the DVD ran the install as an upgrade from B1 and boom minutes later all is GOOOOOOD! I prefer Thunderbird over Evolution, went to software management looked up thunderbird click the install icon and it simply installed. The new gnome software management is incredibly easy to understand and works without a hitch so far. The new desktop effects management is also a mind blowingly easy to use and understand update. over the last several hours I have been impressed more times than I can count.

Any chance that I can talk SUSE into supporting the Samsung Synmaster 930B ? Ubuntu shows it in their list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Beta 3
by Robert Lewis 17 May '08

17 May '08

My keyboard (a MS ergonomic type) and mouse is not recognized at install time. It is a PS2 type and this has been an ongoing issue with almost every beta since 9.?. For some reason once the final shipping version surfaces then the PS2 keyboard works for me. Sort of discourages me from participating in the beta testing. I just found out that if I pull the PS2 type keyboard out and substitute a remote USB wireless keyboard and mouse that I can install the system. Even with the USB keyboard, if I select to verify the install DVD it loads the kernel (took keyboard request) but when it gets to an OK prompt after loading the kernel then the keyboard no longer works so I can't click on OK. However, the installation is working and I am impressed by the speed and simplicity of the install. Good job! I suspect once the install is complete I will be able to go back to the PS2 keyboard.

Anyone know why sux no longer works in SUSE 11 beta 2? It has always been with us in the past.

[opensuse-factory] No console screens on 11.0 beta 3
by Jogchum Reitsma 17 May '08

17 May '08

When booting runlevel 5, after the graphical login screen comes up, the other ttys (01 - 06) remain black, no login prompt or cursor. Maybe this is a configuration thing, but I wouldn't know what. System is a Acer 1710 laptop, I add a compresses hwinfo.txt.

[opensuse-factory] I had a hard crash, possibly related to hibernation
by Carlos E. R. 17 May '08

17 May '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I had been using factory all day. I tried hibernation, worked, thawing, worked... then I tried Yast to install some packages; I went out of the room for a minute and when I came back it was hard crashed. The screen was frozen, keyboard and mouse non operative (not even the leds). Had to hard reset. When I rebooted there was nothing at all in the logs. I had to rebuild the rpm database, it was corrupted in the crash. I use hibernation several times a day in version 10.3 with no problems (not in this class, anyway). Sometimes I keep the machine running for weeks continuously, there is no hardware problem here. Video is NVidia, but I'm using the open driver. This seems a software crash... I have no hard clue to it yet, but I'm suspecting something related to hibernation or triggered by it. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-factory] IcedTea update problem
by Michal Vyskocil 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hi, the next icedtea (and a next openjdk, which will be released soon) update will fails, because it contains a fix for bnc#388578, which moves a directory %{libdir}/jvm-exports/java-1.7.0-icedtea to java-1.7.0-icedtea-%{version} and the java-1.7.0-icedtea will be a symlink on it. This situation is not permitted by rpm for upgrade, so the upgrade will fails with something like this error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib64/jvm-exports/java-1.7.0-icedtea: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory The icedtea and openjdk was not in a any of released product, so we've decided to apply a simply fix, which breaks an update. You should yust reinstall the package(s) to fix this error.

[opensuse-factory] Beta2 and mounting /tmp via tmpfs
by Jan Ritzerfeld 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hey, using 10.3, I added two lines to /etc/fstab, effectively moving /tmp and /var/tmp to ram via tmpfs: tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0 tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0 Using 11.0 Beta2 and the same lines on /etc/fstab, I can successfully mount /tmp and /var/tmp. However, on a reboot, they do not get automatically mounted---in contrast to 10.3. Any ideas?
