[opensuse-factory] How can install opensuse11 by http or NFS from mounted the DVD iso file
by Pang Dawei 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

HI,all, I have downloaded the i386 DVD iso file, I try to install opensuse11 via http or NFS using the iso file,but failed. My detail method is followed, mount the iso file to a directory, and using nfs to export the directory, boot using the linux and initrd, I can select the NFS, when the program load the file , that hang. The second is using the http method, mount the iso file to a directory, and start the http server, I can access the directory by firefox, then boot the linux and initrd, select the HTTP, the program can load the some files, but that says the checksum mismatch. I burn a DVD using the iso, it can work, not checksum error. Please help me, how can I install the openSuSE11 via NFS or http from the mounted DVD iso file? Thank you very much. -- --Pang Dawei --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Packman libxine makes libzypp install PulseAudio, it's problem?
by Christian Morales Vega 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

libxine1 package from Packman requires "esound". Smart just installs the package esound, but libzypp (YaST PM) installs pulseaudio-esound-compat. Both options are correct, but pulseaudio-esound-compat makes libzypp to also install "libpulse0", "libpulsecore4" and "pulseaudio". pulseaudio recommends "alsa-plugins-pulse", and YaST PM by default also installs it (I don't see any options to use or not recommends/suggests, or any sepecial icon to see clearly which automatic deps are optional). libflashsupport supplements flash-player & pluseaudio, and so is also installed. So, with every pulseaudio related package installed... is pulseaudio going to be used for all applications (even if they use ALSA API)? PulseAudio was supposed to be used only with Gnome, not with KDE. I don't know exactly how things where patched to detect Gnome vs KDE... but I would not be surprised if the install of alsa-plugins-pulse would mean that PulseAudio is used for everything. Since a LOT of people is going to install libxine1 from Packman... If it's a problem, the best solution I can think of is Packman removing "/usr/lib64/xine/plugins/1.22/xineplug_ao_out_esd.so" from the libxine1 package and putting it in a libxine1-esd package like it does with arts. But should be done fast to be ready for thursday. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
