[opensuse-factory] display monitors query for opensuse 11.2
by doiggl＠velocitynet.com.au 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hello, Does anyone know where I can see the list of display monitors yast picks up and detects in opensuse 11.2. I want to have a look at the ones supported, because the existing monitor needs replacing. Also have you got a script to output the result in the following format: <Monitor make> <monitor model detail> At least the output is sortable Thanks for your help, Glenn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[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.

The term 'test drive' refers to the live boot functionality that allows to test and fine-tune an appliance. It is not related to package management. What I tried to point you to is the software management tab where you add repositories and install/remove packages. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0jbESd5Btw/SntPbmDKO1I/AAAAAAAAAF8/pSoMAGSk2Xc/s… cheers -- Jakub Steiner <jimmac(a)novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Dependency problems when installing alien
by AR 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hi, I tried to install palms novacom and for that I need alien to convert the .deb file to rpm, but I got dependency problems with perl. I use opensuse factory x86_64 (last update was a couple of days ago) Here's the output of zypper: cassiopeia:~ # zypper install -f alien Resolving package dependencies... Problem: nothing provides perl = 5.10.0 needed by alien-8.78-1.2.noarch Solution 1: do not install alien-8.78-1.2.noarch Solution 2: break alien by ignoring some of its dependencies Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): ^Ccassiopeia:~ # Alien comes from: Information for package alien: Repository: @System Name: alien Version: 8.78-1.2 Arch: noarch Vendor: obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory And Perl comes in Version: cassiopeia:~ # zypper if perl Information for package perl: Repository: @System Name: perl Version: 5.10.1-2.7 Arch: x86_64 Vendor: openSUSE Installed: Yes What can I do? I found nothing when searching via google to solve this.

[opensuse-factory] ./configure Permission Denied
by Donn Washburn 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hey Group; Do I need to replace bash to solve the problem with every source not allowing ./configure to run. Try a source with a ./configure script and every one of them give a "Permission Denied". This is a RC2 problem never seen before from a SuSE version from way back 5 or 6. I must assume this is just any over site. Please fix it. Or is it necessary to look elsewhere for a Linux distribution lacking a defective bash, syslinux and/or fuse. bash version is "bash-4.0.19-5-i586", This is a very irritating problem. This complaint comes from "-bash:". as "-bash: ./configure Permission Denied" -- 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] yast sw mgmt - Gnome & KDE really different?
by David C. Rankin 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Guys, On my gnome install I have a really weird yast sw management module. My guess is that it is just to gnome one, but I want to confirm. So do the normal and gnome yast software management apps really have that different of a UI? If so, can I make the gnome one back into the one I'm used to? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
