[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 11 Video and Network Problems
by Gabriel Stein 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hey, I have a Sis190 which works realy fine in openSUSE 10.3. Today I installed the openSUSE 11 RC1 and the wired network(internet) don´t works. I tried to put manual routes, put nameservers on /etc/resolv.conf... the internet don´t works, only a local traffic. I see some errors on ifconfig, so strange. I never had this kind of error on openSUSE 10.3. Finally, the armagedon: With network not working, my video sis 671/771 doens´t work. On openSUSE 10.3 I just copy the sis 2D drivers to correct directory, change the xorg.conf file and works! Someone have this problem? I want to put my notebook on trash after this problems and Sis chipset. PS: Finally openSUSE 11 RC1 solved the problem with booting stops. Now openSUSE boot without problems, without internet, with worst fbdev video driver. PS2: On Another OS Internet works. Cheers. -- /\ Gabriel Stein gabrielstein(a)gmail.com MSN: gabrielstein(a)hotmail.com Administrador de Redes - Network Administrator Linux User #223750 +55 51 9357 3886 Porto Alegre - RS - Brasil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Update 11.0b3plus to 11.0rc1
by Thorolf Godawa 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi, I just made a "zypper dup" of my OSS 11.0b3plus-installation with Xen to the lastest version (rc1), and as far as I can say, everything works fine :-) Running and administration of my DomUs works also with the virt-manager, LVM works - there is not much more I need on my Dom0. On xfce4 I still have the problem, that the only working resolution is 1280x786 while I set it to 1280x1024x64k (Eizo 17" monitor, Intel 865 onboard), but that is only a minor problem! Thanks for this great update, -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Partitioning based on type of installation
by Marc Ensenbach 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hello, I would like to suggest an enhancement of the partitioner. The dialog where you can select the type of installation (new/update/repair) should offer more options which then are interpreted by the partitioner. I would like to see something like ======== Installation type ( ) Install additionally to existing operating systems (without touching them) ( ) Modify [ComboBox with already installed Linux Versions on the machine] ( ) Install over the selected operating system (this will delete the selected operating system) ( ) Update selected Linux ( ) Repair selected Linux ( ) Set up a machine with one single operating system (this will delete all installed operating systems) ======== Any comments on this proposal?

[opensuse-factory] RC1
by Russ Fineman 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Has anyone tried using the update for installing RC1? I have 11.0 beta3 installed and want to do RC1 without total reinstall if possible. I looked at the delta iso but I apparently deleted beta 3 iso but mistake so i don't have it and I understand I would need it for the delta version to work. Is this correct? -- Russ Linux register user 441463 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] RC1 looks good on G3 iMac
by Richard (MQ) 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Just finished installing RC1 on G3 iMac from 1997 - looks pretty good. Biggest problem by far remains since at least early Betas - other bootable systems (e.g. OS-X, other Linux) on the HD are ignored by the installer when setting up the boot loader. Raised bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396361 for this. First stage of installation says it will reboot now, but doesn't - X window goes black except for a cursor, other ttys continue as before and top shows > 99% idle. Forcing a reboot results in fsck check on restart (i.e. something wasn't umounted). Anyone else have this before I raise a bug? Once system is up, GUI login screen is impossible to navigate with keyboard alone (i.e. no mouse) - can't even readily select a console login. Is this intentional - looks like a bug to me. Only other thing I noticed was the ever-changing DHCP addresses noted elsewhere - happens on PPC / iMac too! Looking good though for 11.0... -- 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] Acer Wifi button problem
by Thiago Vinhas 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi guys, I'm using openSUSE 11 RC1 since yesterday, and among a few glitches, everything works perfectly. The only real problem I have is that I just can't make my wireless work, because the button that activates the Intel Wireless device just doesn't work. It was working on 10.3. My notebook is an Acer Aspire 5920, the wireless is identified by lspci as: 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) When I click on the wireless button, I get the following error captured by dmesg: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd6 on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e056 <keycode>' to make it known. atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd6 on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e056 <keycode>' to make it known. I have the module acerhk loaded, and also acer_wmi. -- Abs, Thiago Vinhas --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 RC1 - odd choice of kernel
by Per Jessen 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I've just installed 11.0 RC1 on an old Pentium II with 384Mb RAM. The installer chose to install an SMP+PAE kernel, which I find pretty unusual?

[opensuse-factory] LVM partitioning proposal
by Marc Ensenbach 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hello, I am using a machine with a fine grain LVM partition setup. When I ran through the installation menu of 11.0 RC 1 and selected "LVM based partitioning", /dev/system/root and /dev/system/home were recognised and suggested to be used as / (after formatting) and /home, but nothing similar happened for the other present partitions such as /dev/system/usr: these partitions are recognised, but in the partitioning proposal they are neither marked to be deleted nor to be mounted. Is there any reason why the partitioner does not really care about these additionen LVM partitions?

[opensuse-factory] RC1 - Question 4: Cclone System for AutoYast
by Basil Chupin 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

At the end of the installation process, just prior to the initial login, there is the option to CLONE SYSTEM FOR AUTOYAST. This option is not functioning. I have never used it before but tried it at the last install of RC1 (2 days ago) and couldn't get it activated (clicking on the tickbox produced no result). Again, is it just with my installation, please?

[opensuse-factory] RC1 - Question 3: option to Boot Installed System
by Basil Chupin 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

In the 10.3, and earlier, version one had the ability to use the DVD/CD to BOOT INSTALLED SYSTEM (part of the initial installation stage); this gave one the ability to boot into an existing system which couldn't be accessed normally because, say, there was a problem in grub. It seems that this option has been removed in 11.0 - or is it still there somewhere but I cannot see it? (I've had to use the DVD for 10.3 to boot into a problematic 11.0B3 several times recently.)

[opensuse-factory] More Dependency frustration! (RANT)
by Larry Stotler 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

Here's a list of some of the frustration I experienced trying to install RC1: Unselecting the yast-fingerprint reader deselected almost all of YaST!(qt, networking, etc) WTF???? Sorry, but that's ridiculous. I am constantly frustrated by all of these hardware dependencies that I DON'T have and should have to install: Bluetooth iPod Fingerprint? Like my 1999 Thinkpad 390X has that. irda - I have NEVER used this and it's bad to even install it. I've seen people's laptops get wiped from windows because they didn't know that their infrared was active. When i deselect this, it says it can't install laptop utils. WHY??? Why is this a dependency? Why is ANY hardware a dependency. Some of us don't have stuff like ISDN, Firewire, USB - yes, my Wallstreet powerbook doesn't even have USB so WHY should I have to install utilities to support USB? Granted, if I did get a cardbus USB card I would need it so I can kinda understand USB, but the rest? I've never even owned a firewire device. or an ISDN modem. The default install has TV apps? How about a popup that says - if you want to install your specific hardware, click here and select what you have. Sorry to rant, but I've complained about this since 10.0 was in beta. While hard drives are a lot bigger now, it's irriating to have to waste all this space on stuff I don't have, don't use and/or don't need. I could go on and on, but I'm done for now. I stick with openSUSE because I have used SuSE since v5.3, and no other distro has anything like YaST for configuration and I've always liked the selection that openSUSE offers. But while I not only run Linux on my Dual Core Celeron(overclocked 100%), I also run it on a 500Mhz P3 and a 266Mhz G3 among other older hardware. Having the same distro across platforms is such a great thing. Sorry if I am asking too much. It's definately gotten better, but it still has a ways to go. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Networkmanager problems: "The permission of the setuid helper is not correct."
by Petri Asikainen 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

Hi list, I'm having problem with networkmanager, no matter if I run nm-connection-editor as root or regular user no connections are shown. terminal shows following error: ** (nm-connection-editor:8248): WARNING **: Could not retrieve dbus connections: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct. If I try to add connection I get same error: "The permission of the setuid helper is not correct." I have been using traditional network setup before, but I really like to use networkmanager for it's vpn-support. This is probably configuration related error (dbus/policykit) so I'm not filling bug report yet. Could someone point me to right direction so solve this, please.

[opensuse-factory] RC1 light and shadow
by Michael Schmuker 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

Hi, I just installed RC1 on my Lenovo Thinkpad T60, with KDE 3.5 as default desktop. My experience: - During installation, I set the default boot entry to my old 10.3 installation. This resulted in having "default=2" in my menu.lst. But upon first boot, both 10.3 entries (default and fallback) have disappeared, and guess which OS was booting by default... Win XP!!! (OMG!) Anyone else had problems with the installer not copying previously existing entries? - First boot does not use kexec anymore. It did for beta 1 or beta 2 on this machine... has kexec been dropped? - There's a typo (possibly instroduced by the spell-checker in the german translation of the slideshow during installation - on the slide that announces OpenOffice it says that openSUSE ships the most recent office suit (which might be a nice feature btw, but hard to implement when installing from the internet ;) ) - The branding looks super-cool. The cloth-like texture during installation does a good job hiding gradient artefacts on 6-bit panels. Unfortunately, this is not the case for the kdm login screen: It looks kind of weird because the gray gradient shows blocky artefacts and also colors. Of course, I understand it's too late now to change the branding for the login screen. Otherwise, I'm very happy so far with RC1. Kudos to all of you!

[opensuse-factory] Failed RC1 install.
by Fred A. Miller 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

I don't know of any install failure like this, so I'll list all the specs. Dell Celeron dual-core with 2G RAM, SATA2 120GB, Intel video. I can install from a live RC1 CD of 11.0, but the RC1 DVD fails at the very beginning of file installation with the following file: /suse/x86-64/libqua2-2.0.0-105.x86_64.rpm (hope I copied this correctly - late and I'm whipped). If I choose to "ignore" this, then it fails on: libpoppler-qt2-0.8.1-4.x86_64.rpm Then I get "Installation of Some Packages Failed" and the installer fails to Yast text mode. This is the same error(s) I had with the DVD install of 11.0 Beta3. Hopes this helps.

It is just on my (test) installation or is it universal? - while the 'Updater' seems to go away and find that there are new upgrades/updates to be done, it never performs these upgrades- it simply "dies" and goes to never-never land when activated. However, if one goes to Yast2 and uses the Online option here the upgrades ARE performed. Anyone else seeing this behaviour?

Added as http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_on_G3_iMac_%28ppc%29 - needs some tidying up as so far it's not much more than a cut 'n' paste from my personal pages... > Couldn't hurt.

I managed to install 10.2 (I think it was) on a Toshiba laptop with 144M RAM and a P100 CPU, but it was very painful. The key is to create a swap file in advance and manually activate it ASAP. I may try again with 11.0 on that machine which now has Damn Small Linux on it (and fairly usable too). I'm off now to test 11.0 RC1, as the download has finally completed... -- Cheers Richard. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
