[opensuse-factory] Is there something the matter with the nouveau driver?
by Carlos E. R. 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, The nouveau driver is not in the oss repo. It was in 11.0, it disappeared in 11.1, it is not back in 11.2, where it can only be found in a home repo. A year ago, 2008-11-30, Marcus Meissner wrote in this mail list, in reply to a question from Rajko M: ] Is no longer on 11.1, was dropped. ] ] It can be found in the oS buildservice. <http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2008-11/msg01228.html> But why? Is it bad, wrong, too experimental? What? This is a genuine question, I want to know if I can try it because I have problems with the NV driver (it crashes on restore from hibernation) If I read in /var/log/Xorg.0.log (oS 11.2), I see: (II) Loading extension DRI2 (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) (II) LoadModule: "nouveau" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nouveau (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau" (EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0) (II) LoadModule: "nv" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers/nv_drv.so (II) Module nv: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.6.5, module version = 2.1.14 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0 Thus, the order of preference for the X org people is: 1) privative nvidia driver 2) open nouveau driver 3) open nv driver. Why, if to them the nouveau driver takes preference to nv, was not included in the distro? Something wrong with that driver? (another question: is there a known method to switch driver? There is no more xorg.conf file) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-factory] Re: [opensuse-ppc] No More Official PPC Distro
by Stephen Michael Kellat 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Sitting at a 7400 G4 as I type this, I can say that there remains some interest. The biggest area would be in revitalizing old machines that were otherwise disposed of as excess. Schools trying to wring a small amount of worth out of older machines would also benefit. Today's world is one where the x86 architecture is not absolutely dominant. We're already seeing in the smartphone market the near dominance of ARM architecture in devices. As those devices are becoming essentially small portable computers first with telephone capability a welded-on after-thought, the potential install base is becoming broader. Strangely enough, Android is capable of running on any Power Architecture architecture based handsets although I am not aware of any out there right now. Will there be a "mass market" in a few years with a single architecture dominating? I don't know. Right now, the signs for the future are uncertain. Keeping a PPC legacy intact at least provides good practice for any potential world where no single architecture dominates.

[opensuse-factory] Easier distribution update via zypper
by Josef Reidinger 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi, When I tried distribution update via zypper I found that changing repositories is quite annoying and should be simplified. So I create feature https://features.opensuse.org/308420 . It describe how to benefit from services, which defines repositories for distribution. Thus, if you want update distribution you just refresh service to get the latest stable product or the latest snapshot. If you like that idea please vote for it.

[opensuse-factory] No More Official PPC Distro
by Larry Stotler 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Just got this answer from a bugzilla posting(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557580) from Michael Loeffler about why there wasn't a PPC version of 11.2: "we (Novell/SUSE employees) won't provide a ppc distribution anymore. The effort for such a code stream is not justified by 0.3% out of all installations (see Distribution of architecture at http://en.opensuse.org/Statistics). Nevertheless we will support anyone who'd like to take over the task to build an openSUSE ppc distribution." So, what's the interest in trying to keep the PowerPC port alive? With such a small user base, I agree it doesn't make sense for them to continue to do it(although I was under the impression that the POWER port of SLEx was based on openSUSE so I'm not sure what the status of that is going to be either). I have several viable Powermacs that can run openSUSE. Peter Czanik uses it on a Pegasos PPC machine. So, what's the interest? I'm not sure how much help I can be other than testing but I'd like to find out who else is using or wanting to use openSUSE on PPC.

[opensuse-factory] susehelp packages missing in default 11.2 install?!
by Jörg von Frantzius 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

I just installed 11.2 with desktop kernel, not making any choice but KDE, and everything worked flawlessly. When k3b was acting up due to missing MP3 plugins, I tried to open its online help. However, it didn't open because susehelp packages were missing?! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 11.1 -> 11.2 upgrade breaks keyboard
by Robert Schweikert 23 Nov '09

I just completed an in place upgrade using "zypper dup" from 11.1 to 11.2 on a Lenovo T400 machine. The machine boots and the keyboard works in the grub menu. However, there is no response to keyboard input at the login prompt. Using GNOME with GDM, touchpad and buttons work. Now I am locked out of the machine. Any ideas on how to fix this?
