[opensuse-factory] Before I can test Beta 2...
by Jonathan Pryor 06 May '08

06 May '08

I would like to install and help test Beta 2. Unfortunately, before I can install it I'm running into a few problems... I downloaded the x86-64 DVD image via BitTorrent. Problem 1: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0-Beta2/iso/torrent/ doesn't have an MD5SUMS or SHA1SUMS file, so I don't know if these files are downloaded correctly. Problem 2: While the Beta1 directory *did* have a MD5SUMS file, the Beta1 MD5SUMS file only contained entries for the *.torrent files, NOT for the resulting .iso files. Consequently with Beta 1, after burning to disk and running Check Installation Media, it failed. The same has happened to me *twice* with Beta 2 -- Check Installation Media reports that there's an error reading sector 2081125. Now, this is likely a problem with either (a) my iso image, (b) my DVD writer, (c) the DVD writer program I'm using (nautilus-cd-burner), or (d) horribly bad luck. Unfortunately I can't verify (a) without an MD5SUM/SHA1SUM for my ISO image, which I don't have (courtesy problems 2/3), and I'd like to ensure that (a) isn't a problem before I further investigate (c). So... Could anyone provide me the MD5SUM or SHA1SUM for a working, valid, openSUSE-11.0-Beta2-DVD-x86_64.iso file? Thanks, - Jon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Updating applydeltaiso etc. to factory on 10.3 machine
by Richard (MQ) 06 May '08

06 May '08

I'm having trouble on several systems updating applydeltaiso etc. to be able to test 11.0b2, as discussed (apparently successfully) on some previous threads. On this fully patched 10.3 system, with (all of) Koolo's rpms in a local 'plain rpm' installation source, I get the following from the YaST solver when I try to update deltarpm > #### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2008-05-06 08:30:26 #### > > deltarpm cannot be installed due to missing dependencies > There are no installable providers of libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.7) for deltarpm-3.4-67.3.i586[Local] > === deltarpm-3.4-67.3.i586[Local] === > deltarpm-3.4-67.3.i586[Local] will be installed by the user. > glibc-2.6.1-18.3.i686 is needed by deltarpm-3.4-67.3.i586[Local] (libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)) > libbz2-1-1.0.4-42.i586 is needed by deltarpm-3.4-67.3.i586[Local] (libbz2.so.1) > perl-base-5.8.8-76.2.i586 is needed by deltarpm-3.4-67.3.i586[Local] (/usr/bin/perl) > rpm-4.4.2-140.i586 is needed by deltarpm-3.4-67.3.i586[Local] (librpm-4.4.so) > (null) > Conflict Resolution: > ( ) do not install deltarpm > ( ) Ignore this requirement just here > > #### YaST2 conflicts list END ### I have the following repos configured in YaST: openSUSE-10.3-Updates Main Repository (OSS) Main Repository (NON-OSS) Packman VideoLan ATI Local (i.e. Koolo's files) ISO image of DVD This is the third OpenSuSE system I've tried this on, all configured in the same sort of style and with much the same results.

[opensuse-factory] B2 => My First thoughts
by James PEARSON 05 May '08

05 May '08

Hello all I just installed Beta 2 using the DVD on my T60 Thinkpad The actual installation time from when I hit the OK (format and install) button till when the kde4 desktop first showed up was 11 minutes Wow that's fast... ! My wifi connection works fine on my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card (using iwl3945) once I boot and I select my named (and configured) WPA connection via KNetworkerManager wifi buton on the kde panel This is good news... (re : bug 378000) Despite the fact that my wifi is up and works OK konqueror in the Network Status section of the "sysinfo:/ page shows Unkown network status I put a photo at http://pagesperso-orange.fr/j.pearson/T60.B2.png wifi still does not come up automatically on boot (despite the fact that is configured to do so). I gather that this (See message "Couldn't get connection secrets: dbus-settings.c.108 - Connection's plugin did not return a secrets hash") is a known problem which is caused by the way netmanager interacts with opensuse boot configuration settings. Here is what I see on my machine with regards to that... # netmanager log post boot May 3 14:26:25 linux NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the system settings daemon...

[opensuse-factory] Beta2 increased power consumption on R61
by Jan Ritzerfeld 05 May '08

05 May '08

Hey, yesterday I installed 11.0 Beta2 on my ThinkPad R61 (Intel Core 2 Duo T7300, NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M). While testing and filling some bug reports, I noticed that the power consumption increased compared to 10.3. I tried all hints powertop offered to me, but I cannot get below ~23W on battery. Using 10.3, ~20W on battery are normal. Furthermore, I noticed that the fan is most of time turned on when using Beta2, even on battery power. CPU scaling works according to kpowersave. But many of the context menu items of kpowersave are greyed out: s2ram, s2disk, and cpu scaling options. Any ideas?

[opensuse-factory] Beta 2 comments
by Robert Lewis 05 May '08

05 May '08

Here are my initial findings. 1) PS2 mouse doesn't get detected on this box. Same thing happened with Ubuntu I am guessing it is a kernel or X issue. 2) Mouse is way to happy (fast). I can slow it down but settings are not sticking through a reboot. Also, if I slow it down and then re-login the mouse is to fast until I reach the KDE 4 screen again. 3) I am reluctant to use KDE 4 when we go live for my desktop machine for obvious reasons. One thing that could change my mind is if SUSE would make it easy for me to update to 4.1 should it come out prior to the next release. However, with limitations in apps that are available for KDE 4 (Why did they not make it backward compatible?) I'll probably wait. 4) No d/l for the Nvidia accelerated drivers that I can find via a search in YaST software. 5) When I resize my screen via YaST the settings are not holding through a reboot. 6) In sniffing at Ubuntu I found that loading an early version was pleasing as they kept me moving forward through synaptics updater. It was easy and I stayed current all they way through the final release with my testing without having to do a reload.

[opensuse-factory] openoffice.org crashes in beta2 x86-64 with bad_alloc

[opensuse-factory] syslog-ng 2.x after opensuse 11?
by Toni Harbaugh-Blackford 05 May '08

05 May '08

Folks- According to the "Testing:Features 11.0" page, opensuse was supposed to get syslog-ng upgraded to 2.x. However, the latest factory still has version 1.6. Will we see syslog-ng 2.x after the opensuse 11.0 release?
