[opensuse-factory] eee-pc hotkey support not up to date..?
by Oddball 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi, As i used this page: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_on_the_EeePC#ath5k , to orientate myself to install opensuse 11.1 on eee-pc, i noticed that it is not up to date anymore.. Is it possible to get the hotkey support for 11.1/11.2 in some online repo? F1 to F9 are most important.... ;) many thnx if someone would look into this... (many eee-pc owners on the dutch pda- forum are very interested in opensuse on eee-pc..) -- Have a nice day, Oddball, aka M9.

[opensuse-factory] OpenOffice-3.0.99.3 x86_64
by Markus Koßmann 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Today factories OpenOffice was updated to 3.0.99.3. However the *extensions*x86_64.rpms didn't made it into factory ( these packages are available in OpenOffice.org:/UNSTABLE). That causes nasty dependency problems ( one option is to downgrade to i586 because the i586 extensions are not missing). Is there any problem with these packages or is the problem only that they weren't propagated to the factory repo ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Please Ristretto back instead of Gimp for opening images from browser in 11.2
by Oddball 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, Ristretto is just plain, simple, scalable, simple zoomable, and for all very fast. Gimp is like opening photoshop to vieuw one picture... To vieuw a pic, you need a vieuwer, not a manipulator.. ;) (gimp takes ages to load, cluttering the screen with unnessesary windows...) I guess you all know that, and it wil be build problems or something, and it will be back soon? -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

[opensuse-factory] I think we have a record!
by Fred A. Miller 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

It's been OVER 5 weeks now, and we can't update our beloved OpenOffice, because the packager can't seem to get the 5 "extension" packages over their dependency issues!! Can we expect that to happen in the near future, or do we have to wait for 11.2?

[opensuse-factory] pulseaudio integration
by Tamas Sarga 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I sent a letter to opensuse@, but I haven't got any reply, so I try here, maybe someone can turn me to the right direction: I don't have the resources at the moment to test a new install, so I ask here. The way how pulseaudio integrated into the system is different with new install and upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1? I did an upgrade, and I had to configure gconf to hear anything from Amarok. Flash plugin doesn't have sound also. I found a good page http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup . I played some hours while I localized the source of problem, which caused a soundless Amarok. So my question is what decision was made about pulseaudio. If it will remain and this non-integration is not the fault of my upgrade, than some work would be nice on this side. Please write your thought, how this situation should be resolved. By documentation or to make it works out of the box? I'll try to spend time to this problem, so I want to help. On the other hand, if Pulseaudio will be removed from 11.2, then nothing to do.

[opensuse-factory] Difference in install behaviour, bug, or intended?
by Oddball 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hello, Maybe, it is not the right place, but i think it is... As i installed 11.1 some 6 times in a few days, on eee-pc-901, i noticed some strange things: Installing from images: to me, very unpleasant installing: lots of noise from dvd-drive. Disabled: very smooth, quiet, noiseless install. When i change to ifup, before trying networkmanager first, there is no internet test, and no updates are done. Additional: there is no sound. When i first try networkmanager, let it fail, and than change to ifup: internet test, and updates being done before first login, and, sound works normaly. And believe me, these things are consistant. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

[opensuse-factory] How to dis/enable a bootloader?
by Oddball 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, Since i bought an eee-pc, i am again confronted with XP. Today i exchanged the original 16GB ssd, for a faster 64GB runcore ssd. Now i am able to dual or triple boot on a bigger drive. (sd card does not realy perform) As this os (xp) and i do not realy get along, i used Norton ghost to be able to backup my fully upgraded and tuned XP, to be able to restore the image without any fuss. The whole operation, complete with installing the xp-backup image, took me little less than half an hour. The case is that Ghost does not support bootloaders, but performs great. 1) Is there a way to easily disable/enable grub? As XP is the first on the drive, it would not be difficult to boot when the original mbr is reinstalled, as i allready tried that... (it is in the boot dir, and not in /var/lib/yast2/backup-boot_section/mbr, by the way, as in the release notes from 11.1 is stated...) or: 2) Where should grub be installed for the least trouble? And in case XP would stop booting, which can have many causes, but mostly a virus, i will have to reinstall the original mbr, and restore the backup. After that use an installation dvd/cd, to reinstall grub, or something like that. thnx for a useble answer..

[opensuse-factory] Snapshot 11.2 A0 x86_64 is quite unstable.
by Oddball 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, As this is a snapshot, i do not know whetter to file bugs ot not. Strange selecting problems in tbird, ff, and Oo after some time, keybord failure: figures cannot be typed, as if shift is pressed. Selected items, like mail, won't open, scrolling does not work. No normal reaction from keyboard after coming back from screensaver. in this way that you can type, but entering does not return, only mouse works with some comment: wrong password. The second time doing the same, unlocks the screen. Sometimes relogin works, sometimes not. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

[opensuse-factory] nouveau Test Day (at fedora project.... Share alike?)
by Ted Bullock 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi folks, I have been using the nouveau driver for the past 6 months or so and have been really quite satisfied with it. I especially like how nicely it plays with the gnome display settings tool given that I have a dual monitor workstation. Check out the nice and short xorg.conf... http://pastebin.com/fb186196 There is even work in progress to get rid of the need for the icky "Virtual" entry (eliminating the need for the whole "Screen" section). Although I am an openSUSE/OpenBSD user pretty much exclusively these days, I was pleasantly surprised to hear about the Fedora test day regarding the nouveau driver. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/2009-03-26 Anyways, since I want to see the driver stabilized so that it can eventually be supported in openSUSE land, I figured I would pass along the above link (11.3 or 12.0 time frame perhaps?). It's just a live CD, think about giving it a whirl. As a side note, if you run the driver over here on openSUSE be sure to uninstall compiz (you end up with a white screen) and it tries to load if composite is enabled (or something like that). -Ted -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

I rather use YaST Software Management to preform the updates then to use zypper. Find it easier :-) What mouse driver are you using according to the /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? Is this the evdev driver ? The current Factory version of Xorg is no longer utilizing the xorg.conf file to handle the mouse and keyboard drivers. If the logfile is indicating the use of evdev, then maybe both bugs are indeed related to each other (however with different effects/issues) Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Am I the only one who can't sort columns in software management? I am experiencing the same problem. I checked out bug 474331, but with me it doesn't make any difference whether I am using the mouse or the touchpad. Neither one is working regarding sorting. However it could very well be that these two bugs are still related to each other as that my Xorg.log is reporting to utilize the evdev driver. What I can remember is that a number of issues appeared after the change of the Xserver version. Most of them I could resolve by setting the right keyboard within KDE4 (as that this is no longer taken from the xorg.conf file), but this sorting issue within YaST2 remains.

Hi, does anybody else have the problem of no column sorting in yast2 qt software manager. I opened bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478041 which was made a duplicate of https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474331 which doesn't look the same to me and the test for a qt4 problem passed with me. Am I the only one who can't sort columns in software management?

[opensuse-factory] status distribution

Hi, Currently we have quite some build failures in Factory, nonetheless I would like to target an alpha1 soonish as we reached the kernel 2.6.29-final milestone. I hope to have something by the end of the week to test internally and then we push some more fixes in over the weekend, so it can be released next week. No promises though :) Of course you can test drive the live cds and factory snapshots as they are published, but I want to createn an official snapshot.

Czech Packagers Meeting minutes 2009-03-17 ========================================== Present: nadvornik, sbrabec, mkudlvasr, puzel, jmatejek, prusnak, mseben, mhrusecky Minutes: mvyskocil Topics: (1) Build rpms for SUSE using BitBake (2) lib64 default in autoconf's configure (3) RPM version for popcon: popcorn (4) Installation of restricted content proposal (5) Status reports (1) Build rpms for SUSE using BitBake ===================================== BitBake[1] and OpenEmbedded[2] is an advanced package building environment based on simple recipes and package classes. sbrabec works on a setup that will allow to build packages for openSUSE there. [1] http://developer.berlios.de/projects/bitbake/ [2] http://www.openembedded.org/ (2) lib64 default in autoconf's configure ========================================= ./configure: Default to lib64. It is possible to default to /usr/local/lib64 while calling ./configure without arguments. Should it be done by default? [1] [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=382344 (3) RPM version for popcon: popcorn =================================== prusnak wrote a popularity-contest alternative for RPM distros. This was announced on [2]. However this package could not be submitted to Factory now, because we have no server to send the results to. Prusnak sent an e-mail to Peter Poeml, but he is probably on vacation, so we have to wait further [2] http://stick.gk2.sk/blog/2009/03/popcorn-popularity-contest-for-rpm/ (4) Installation of restricted content proposal =============================================== Sometimes is necessary install a content which is under some restrictions (patents, copyrights) which prevents us to include it to openSUSE, but is necessary for our users. Two biggest examples are: multimedia support and device drivers (firmware). puzel wrote a proposal of ease installation of restricted software for openSUSE. [3] [3] http://en.opensuse.org/BrainStorming_Prague/Restricted_drivers_and_multimed… (5) Status reports ================== anicka: - perl modules: update to current versions, fix update scripts - [internal] openssh: worked on #456494 - did some reviewing for contrib jmatejek: - reviewing python and python3 patches, upstreaming where possible - splitting python3, reviewing and upstreaming patches - work on python packaging guidelines - examining fedora's python - reviewing ruby packages for SUSE Studio mhrusecky: - fixing some issues in MySQL 5.1 - getting some sblim packages to build again in factory mseben: - updated : hdparm,colordiff - virtualbox-ose : investigating bnc#484333, factory build doesn't start - audacity: working on fix for factory build mvyskocil: - fixed various tomcat6 bugs in Factory: - bnc#418664 - Tomcat6 installation has missing bits - bnc#471639 - tomcat does not start/work (sysconfig removed - also fixs bnc#471639) - fixed bnc#424675 - Access rights to /etc/tomcat6 directory not set right - fixed and sucesfully tested bnc#484760: tomcat6 broken forwarding on 11.0 - created a tracking bug bnc#485933 - for bugs in tomcat6 in openSUSE 11.0 (will be released after successful test of sysconfig removal bnc#471639) - bnc#485299 - Ant <xslt> tasks fail with NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xml/serializer/SerializerTrace - ITO: popcorn [1] reimplementation based on PackageKit.
