[opensuse-factory] WiFi performance on 11.2
by Clayton 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

I'm running 11.2RC2 (installed from the KDE4 LiveCD) on an Asus Eee 1005HA, and WiFi performance is very poor. It's constantly dropping the connection, and when it is connected, downloads come in bursts of full connection speed, and then zero data for a while.. then another burst of data and so on. I can't really (at least not easily) compare 11.1 on this netbook as the WiFi driver support isn't part of the 11.1 kernel/distro etc. What have been comparing to on this netbook is Ubuntu 9.10... and there WiFi performance is really good, so I assume something (else) is wrong with the 11.2 install or config, but I'm not sure how to look into it. A bug search on 11.2 and WiFi doesn't return much. Is anyone else noticing this?

[opensuse-factory] Installing 11.2 on a computer with other Linux distros
by Clayton 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

I just installed 11.2RC2 on my netbook (Asus EeePC 1005HA), and it's working well.. but... it's totally ignored the other Linux distro I have installed. The harddrive is partitioned like this: /dev/sda1 - ext4 - Ubuntu 9.10 - 15GB /dev/sdb2 - ext4 - openSUSE 11.2 - 15GB /dev/sdb3 - ext 4 - Home partition Ubuntu was installed first, and was booting/working fine before I installed openSUSE 11.2. I installed 11.2 (custom partitioning to force it to install on sdb2, all other settings are default), and it has booted up and is working fine, but Grub only knows about openSUSE.... I "can" manually fiddle with Grub to get it to boot, but that is a bit messy and unwieldy. This is something that used to work fine... has something changed? or have I missed something?

[opensuse-factory] 5-year old "bug"! just moving KDE/Kontact Calendar events between calendars?
by Ben DJ 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Hi, While moving all my data from Macs to RC2, I setup multiple calendars in KDE Kontact, similar to what I had in OSX. After trying to figure out how to simply move an Event from one calendar to another, or just assign one in the first place for that matter (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/428156 ?), it looks like it's not possible at the moment. There's a bug (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381503) that both W Stephenson & S Kulow commented on back in 2008, which is marked RESOLVED for 11.0. I'm not sure what that means, since that bug tracks back to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72531, opened 2004-01-13. It's seems like this is just not getting done 'upstream'. At least as of 2009-10 people are still posting bug comments about it. I think this is pretty basic functionality. At least I can't honestly see moving people to a PIM where it's not possible. How can this get fixed in / for OpenSuse 11.2 RELEASE, which is frankly where I care about it getting fixed. Can any of the 'heavyweights' here chime in upstream again? Or can it be addressed just in this Project? Thanks.

[opensuse-factory] binary nvidia driver and RC2
by Peter Czanik 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Hello, Did anyone successfully install the nVidia binary driver on RC2? I downloaded it from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_190.42.html , which compiled, but the kernel module itself could not be loaded :-( Is there / will be there an nVidia repo, like there was one for 11.1?

[opensuse-factory] Mounting USB devices
by jon＠jcosby.com 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

I've done a clean install of RC2, and users can't access external devices. They are prompted for the root password. in /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.hal.storage.policy, I have <action id="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"> <description>Mount file systems from removable drives.</description> <message>System policy prevents mounting removable media</message> <defaults> <allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive> <allow_active>yes</allow_active> </defaults> </action> In KDE, the devices are mounted automatically, but cannot be accessed or unmounted by users. In Gnome, root password is required to mount. When mounted, users have r/w access. Is this the default behavior in RC2? How to modify this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] yast wagon question
by Greg Freemyer 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

All, I just did a test run of "yast2 wagon" from my laptop. (gui equivalent of zypper dup) I was already at RC1, so it should not have done much. But I had enabled the source repo prior to running wagon. wagon caused 1000+ source packages to download. Is that by design? Or is it a bug?
