[opensuse-factory] factory to beta3 and other

by Putrycz, Erik

Is there a simple way to upgrade from factory to beta3 and in the future to the final release? I'm not sure I always will want to live in factory land.

[opensuse-factory] Re: [opensuse] Enhancement #399239 - feedback

by Roberto Mannai

Please read all the bug comments / clarifications :) this enhancement request is not about "out of disk space" alert; it is about reporting the total of bytes your going to install / remove. Now that total bytes is showed when the installation step is already started (really when starting to download the packages). Other package management tools show the disk variation: SMART and Synaptics, if I'm not wrong...

[opensuse-factory] Dropping lilo support from YaST

by Stanislav Visnovsky

Hi! As some of you've noticed, the bootloader configuration in openSUSE was not in best shape for a couple of releases. Therefore, we plan to drop the support for lilo bootloader from YaST (and thus installation) and leave grub as the only supported bootloader on i386 and x86_64 in openSUSE 11.1. The reason is that there are almost no technical advantages to keep both bootloaders and it makes a lot of sense to focus on a single solution and improve it. As part of this strategy, we also want to document bootloader deployment strategies that are supported by the YaST code and where the users should expect the code to work reliably. The change will mean: 1) YaST bootloader code for lilo will be dropped 2) YaST installation will offer to not install any bootloader, so an experienced user can use this to install lilo manually 3) kernel packages will be unable to adapt lilo configuration automatically, this needs to be done manually after installing a new kernel package Any feedback appreciated.

[opensuse-factory] DBus/PolicyKit support in Yast in openSUSE-11.1-Alpha1

by Ladislav Slezak

Hi all! I'd like to inform you about a new feature in Yast in openSUSE-11.1-Alpha1. The feature allows you to configure role based access to yast. The current implementation is limited only to some yast functionality (the SCR part), e.g. it doesn't allow to install packages by a non-root user. WARNING: the DBus support is still in development state, it may be buggy or whatever else... I ask the brave people here to give it a try. See http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/DBus_Integration for more details. There is an example how to enable "time zone change" task for a non-root user. If you find any problem with the DBus integration report it to bugzilla.novell.com and assign the bug to me. Do not forget to attach also the non-root log file (described in the link above). -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] synergy 64 bits and java

by Putrycz, Erik

Synergy on 64 bit systems has been found to crash java quite a bit. See http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=290594 A patch is available at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synergy/+bug/207057 The synergy project seems to be rather dead, are there any chances this patch could be applied on the version distributed with os?

[opensuse-factory] Mozilla Firefox crashes reproducably on openSUSE 10.3 (i586),VERSION = 10.3

by Christoph-Erdmann Pfeiler

Gentle readers, please give me some hints for further investigation Im using openSUSE 10.3 and MozillaFirefox-3.0.1-1.1 Everytime, I invoke the the home page of the company Renault Deutschland (http://www.renault.de/) and I move the cursor over the menu (some JavaScript code), Firefox crashes with a segfault. I've invoked Firefox from gdb, but gdb complains about missing symbol tables, and allows operation with very poor information output. The MozillaFirefox-debuginfo package is installed, but I cannot find a symbol table for Firefox himself, only for the extensions. What I see, is this: gdb /usr/lib/firefox/firefox GNU gdb 6.6.50.20070726-cvs Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[opensuse-factory] Bugzilla broken?

by Felix Miata

Starting from the time of the below Bugzilla action, I have been unable, logged in or not, with any browser on any OS to load any Bugzilla bug page, eventually getting an error 504 (gateway time-out) with each attempt to do so. Query pages, bug lists & other web sites still work. Is this happening to anyone else?
