Hey Group; Where has the information previously held in xorg.conf being held? /etc/X11/xorg.conf can be removed with no effect. SaX2 write xorg.conf correctly but X fails to read it. I would like to add <CTRL><ALT><+/-> as in the older distributions -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 11.2 install on 256Mo ram computer
by jdd 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

I want to congratulate the 11.2 developpers. Just now I could install (from kde4 live cd, install from the initial menu) this very new distribution on an old compaq computer with only 256 Mo ram (windows said 248Mo). It lasted 2 hours, mostly due to a very slow cd reader, and there was a little glitch. after the restart, at 67% config, probably on the network config, the install stopped. No network was seen (ifconfig: interface configured but no IP). Removing the eth cable and restarting the install did make it work. There was also a long delay due to cups (no printer connected - but one on the net, may be the problem), but then all finished and work very good with so little ram!! jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Gnome installation uses new splashy theme for hibernate, KDE doesn´t
by Rastislav Krupanský 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi all. I´ve just noticed Gnome RC2 already uses new splashy theme for hibernate(suspend to disk), but KDE RC2 when goes to suspend to disk, still uses "the sleeping penguin". When the KDE system awakes, uses the new splashy. Known issue, or shoudl i file bug? Thanks. -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 11.2/RC2 problems when installing with resolution 1600x1200
by Markus Koßmann 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

When choosing resolution 1600x1200 for the installation system on an system with nvidia GeForce 7800 GT graphics and HP LP2475W flatscreen monitor I get a garbled screen . After installation the system is capable to use the 1600x1200 resolution without problems. Workaround for the problem is to use a lower resolution for installation. Is this worth a bugzilla and which data is needed for the bugzilla ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 11.2/RC2 Can't use Hulu.com in Firefox, Konqueror Or Opera
by Larry Stotler 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

I installed 11.2/RC2 on an Athlon XP 3200+ with an nVidia 6200. I can't get the site hulu.com to play any videos. I tried in Firefox, Konqeror and Opera. Each time the loading video locks up the browser. The browser eventually frees up but flash player disappears. Youtube seems to work ok, but not hulu.com. I even tried to install the plugin from Adobe's website and the same results. I'm not running the nVidia drivers because I didn't see a repo for it yet. Anyone got any ideas?

[opensuse-factory] Mounting existing crypted partition fails on 11.2rc1
by Jan-Simon Möller 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi! I installed rc1 on my laptop and got stuck mounting my crypted /home. It complains about the filesystem type (mount -t auto ??? ). I tried manually mount /dev/mapper/cr_sda8, but the filesystem seems corrupt now :( .

[opensuse-factory] Trouble using zypper to upgrade from 11.1 to 11.2RC
by John Beranek 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

This evening I started an attempt to use zypper to upgrade from 11.1 to 11.2. I had a 11.1 system, using quite a few OBS projects and a few other external repositories. I disabled all the other repositories and updates oss, non-oss and the updates repo's to the 11.2 ones. At this point I did "zypper update zypper" in order to get a fresh zypper, which I thought would help the full update. This went away and installed 164 packages (mostly because I have OBS KDE 4.2 installed, and this update forced me to the "standard" 4.3.1 in 11.2). All good so far. So, I go on to do "zypper dup". Now zypper seemingly won't download any files! Tried deleting everything in /var/cache/zypp but that didn't help. Below is a link to some output from my failed zypper runs. Where do I go from here!? http://pastebin.ca/1648526 Cheers, John. P.S. If I use 'curl' to attempt the files that zypper is supposedly trying to download (with the -L option to allow redirects) the files download OK. -- John Beranek To generalise is to be an idiot. http://redux.org.uk/ -- William Blake

Try deleting all services and then use zypper ar to add the repos you need, it seems the update repo is active as well I'm just completing a zypper dup and there are a lot of deltas that come from the update repo. I somehow added a repo to services once and it didn't work until I deleted them all.
