See the attached menu.lst. I don't have earlier versions of oS installed on HDs so cannot check but I seem to recall the the pae kernel was also installed by at least one other earlier version of oS. I also remember "fiddling" with a copy of the kernel in 11.1 to compile my own which had the (?some of the) qualities now in the desktop kernel eg,the Timer Frequency set to 1000Hz. Am I wrong or isn't it the situation that if the kernel is compiled with parameters selected but which, in fact, are not available in the CPU then the kernel still does its job and uses those which ARE available? That is, it doesn't have a hernia, throw up its hands and runs off screaming into the distance :-) .

[opensuse-factory] What to do to remove outdated code from factory?
by houghi 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

I will not be naming the program, because otherwise it will be called 'insane noise ratio' so this is just about the process and to undestrand if I did everything right and if there is anything else I can do to help. What happend is that there is a program that is on version 1.X and that is (still) hosted on site A. However the maintainer has moved on and now version 3.x is available on site Y. My idea is that it would be better to either remove the package from openSUSE or better, see that correct version is added for all future versions. So what have I done? 1) I mailed who I thought was the maintainer at openSUSE. I was apparently wrong 2) Filed a feature request 3) Filed a bugreport. 4) Made a package from it on OSB 5) Talked to developers directly and asked what to do 6) Tried to bring awareness in diffeent ways 7) Tried not to presure too much in the hope that it would get into 11.2 The result is that basically nothing has happend. The 1.x version is still up there instead of the 3.x version. So what must be done _in general_ to get stuff into factory so it will be added in the next version and especially if it is about outdated things we notice. Did I do something wrong? Did I miss a step? Did I do too much? Again, this is not about that specific program, that is just an example. I just want to know if there are things I need to do different or that perhaps my expectations should be much lower then what they are. houghi -- Dr. Walter Gibbs: Won't that be grand?

[opensuse-factory] Lots of old packages breaks zypper dup of factory
by Mark Gray 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

It may only be the mirrors of factory that download.opensuse.org is sending me to, but there are a bunch of old packages there which zypper dup would like to downgrade to which causes some real nasty conflicts when dup'ing from a 11.2 installation. Am I the only one seeing this problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Policies for 3rd Party Software?
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hello Mates, i've tried to install AdobeAIR through the original *.bin File. After chmod +x i can execute the File. Then the Window comes who i must agree the Terms. After agreeing the install Process begins. Then the install is broken.The Program means, that the admin has disallowed the installation. So my Question is, have we new Policies in openSUSE? In 11.1 Air runs perfectly. -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Member openSUSE Ambassador openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com ClaimID: http://claimid.com/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Enabling SELINUX failed
by Marco Calistri 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hello Listmates, I attempted to enable selinux on my 11.2 Rc1 but it fails with the error: no selinuxfs found. I followed the "how-to" as per en.opensuse.selinux but it seems something is lacking from my understanding, or perhaps from current kernel. Suggestions are welcomed. Cheers, -- Marco Calistri <amdturion> If it happens once, it's a bug. If it happens twice, it's a feature.

[opensuse-factory] Status: distribution
by Stephan Kulow 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, 11.2 is gold, factory is reenabled and published. I published already distribution/11.2/repo and it's on a tons of mirror already, so you should be able to do zypper up to get from RC2 to GM. We also created repomd data, so I hope the software portal has 11.2 data soon.
