[opensuse-factory] Broken
by Donn Washburn 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

things that are broken in RC2 latest DVD and zupper dup First off - It was required to completely reload from a good DVD 11.2 RC2 due to a power outage. The result was that "/" partition was not clean. It was a ext4 partition. I used the DVD Repair option. What I found was that the ext4 module was not installed and therefore the Repair Partition failed when it got to the ext4 partition. I suspect and lsmod confirmed that the ext4 module was not available So on this very fresh reload, before anything was done I did a zypper dup and it found around 1000 changes. OK! now I call up Yast2 and it fails due to not finding libperl****.so Yast2t was fixed by using zypper up -- 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

I assume that's from the 11.2 Gnome release (I haven't tried Gnome in 11.2 yet)... that is looking a LOT better than previous versions. What I'd really like to see is the best of the QT and the best of the GTK versions be pulled together and we have a unified software manager once again. /me off to poke around in the GoogleGroups... and wondering why this development is being done OFF the opensuse.org domain... is it secret or something? Why isn't this here in the cluster of projects? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Screensaver does not put the screen to sleep

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Since I tried 11.2 M6, up to current GM, the gnome screensaver does not set my display to sleep. In Screensaver preferences, I have set "regard the computer as iddle after 12 minutes", and in power management preferences, I have "put display to sleep after 5 minutes". It doesn't work. Where do I look? Is it a known bug? A configuration issue somewhere? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-factory] RC1 Trouble with OpenOffice
by Karl Sinn 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hi, I'm still on RC1 and I just used OpenOffice for the first time and I was actually unable to do what I needed to do which was a very easy task. I'm not sure it's a problem of openSuse, but I'm going to report here concerning the usability of 11.2 I simply wanted to put extra lines on a few pages. The document came to me in *.docx format, and as far as I can see, it opened and displays correctly. After adding two empty lines I saved: 1) as docx. Here the page header was not saved. 2) as doc. Here the graphics were lost and the chapter numbers were not formated. 3) as pdf. The graphics were lost To be more helpful, I tried to reproduce the bugs with a new document. I created a new document, activated the page header, tried to insert an image. I can not see my png images in the file dialog... I have to explicitely click on png images to see them. With the show all option it doesn't work. I checked for other image formats and I can't actually see any of the images on my computer with "show all formats". JPEG can't be seen at all even while selecting the jpeg filter. While selecting a png file I received the error "unknown format". I just put a few words in the page header, and a numbered list in the body, I saved it as odt, closed it, tried to reopen it :-) OpenOffice doesn't even see his own files, but here I can see the jpg and png files :-). To open it I wrote down the filename myself. It openend as it should. I cut and pasted an image from another document, because with insert->image- >from file, I couldn't and tried to save as: 1) odt fine 2) docx fine 3) doc 2000 chapter numbers dissapeared image was not imported correctly 4) pdf image didn't show up properly Are these known issues? Are they resolved in the latest version?

[opensuse-factory] Bug changed to invalid and resolved is not see bug 551667
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Details are in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551667 Sure trying to sanatize a record late at night and making mistakes with a , instead of a . would make entry invalid but correcting them and see it does not work would have solve my not serious problem. It is now 3:45 in the morning and I am unable to raise anyone at the location to reboot the machine into the old OS so I could copy and paste the exact entries is not possible. It does not work because SSH is disabled. I was assured through the dev cyclye when it came up that SSHD would be off by default but allow the remote installations like in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Remote_Installation_of_SUSE_LINUX and http://docs.telante.com/index.php/HOWTO_Install_SUSE_Linux_Remotely_without… would work. Well they do not see bug for more details. -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb(a)zenez.com> 801 849-0213 ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
