[opensuse-factory] Where best to request software/features?
by Mark V 19 Jul '08

19 Jul '08

Hi Group, I was told this group is appropriate for this topic: As far as I can tell the wishlist entries don't explicitly/directly get addressed. Sometime ago I filed a wishlist request for cromfs and it would have been nice to know that its had least been: - read, - considered, - rejected/accepted. I was (pleasantly) surprised to discover cromfs in the openSUSE 11.0 base even though I was still seeing it in the wishlist. I discovered it in the OBS only because I went to start a OBS project.... I don't think you can rely on everyone who contributes to the wishlist, to also run OBS accounts/projects. Nonetheless its not obvious that cromfs' inclusion was due to it having been nominated in the wishlist - I probably got lucky, since it is still listed there. Is filing a bugzilla 'enhancement' to be preferred? Would I get any more feedback than received for a wishlist entry? Finally if the wishlist pages are the preferred mechanism it would seem that a category worth considering is 'security'.

[opensuse-factory] JAVA in FireFox x64 (11.0 OpenSuse)
by Nathan Moschkin 19 Jul '08

19 Jul '08

I thought that this was fixed, at this point, since SUN now has AMD 64 binaries. ... But I, for the life of me cannot figure out how to get JAVA up and running with openSUSE 11.0. I can't follow the steps for 10.3 because the layout of the file system has changed. Why can't I get this running? Help? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

by Chris Arnold 19 Jul '08

19 Jul '08

11.0 with kde 4.1 x86 64. Are the desktop widgets broken now with the latest updates from 4.1 repo? I had widgets on the desktop-did an update, widgets gone and when adding them my whole screen goes black and the only way to get it back is log off and then back on. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] network detection in linuxrc
by Peter Czanik 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

Hello, How does linuxrc detect the network card? As I ran into the problem, that there is a working Ethernet connection (even the kernel is downloaded by tftp), but linuxrc says: " *** No network device found. Load a network module first. " It is a custom built kernel for a not yet supported PPC board, and Ethernet works fine: [ 91.910110] eth0: fs_enet: 00:1e:59:7a:da:d1 [ 91.915144] FEC MII Bus: probed For example I can nfs mount a / partition (tested with 10.3 rescue system exported on NFS). Using a compiled in Ethernet driver worked fine for another board ( http://en.opensuse.org/MPC8610 ).

[opensuse-factory] debug and shell consoles during installation
by Peter Czanik 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hello, Is it a bug or a feature, that debug and shell consoled disappeared from the factory installer? There are no more shells started, and there is no debug output on F3 and F4. Right now I just see, that 'repo not found' (or something similar) in Linuxrc on F1, and can't check the real problem on the debug screens...

[opensuse-factory] PXE Boot 11.0 GM impossible?
by Andreas Vetter 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Has anybody tried to PXE boot using the kernel and initrd from 11.0 (OSS or box is the same)? My R50p (32bit) cannot boot. It loads the kernel-image and then freezes before fetching initrd. My Opterons (64bit) load the kernel image and then show funny garbled colored characters on the screen. Also frozen. This still works with 10.3 and worked with 11.0 Beta 3. We had that problem already in 10.0 (bug # 120877) and I think it had to do with some ACPI table at the end of the image. Any ideas? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Status openSUSE distribution
by Andreas Jaeger 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Coolo is on vacation this week and the next, so I'll try to help out a bit. I'm currently trying to get an internal Alpha0 out of the door. Basically this means getting all packages building again after some major changes like KDE update to 4.1 beta, GNOME updates, YaST changes and changes to libraries that broke other packages - which in the end lead to a inconsistent factory version. I hope to get this fixed today but with the build service down, it might take until next week. Other than that: I just announced the openSUSE 11.1 roadmap...
