[opensuse-factory] xrandr - only default output
by Petr Uzel 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hi list! I spent some time trying to configure dualhead setup using RandR extension but without any success. I have two LCD displays connected to my 'nVidia Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM)]' card, one to DVI, the other to VGA. So I would expect xrandr -q to show these outputs, but it doesn't: > xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 640 x 400, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024 default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1280x1024 60.0* 75.0 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.0 70.0 60.0 832x624 75.0 800x600 75.0 72.0 60.0 56.0 640x480 75.0 73.0 67.0 60.0 720x400 70.0 I use nv driver. RandR seems to work (at least somehow), bacause: # grep -i rand /var/log/Xorg.0.log (**) Option "RandR" "on" (**) RandR enabled (II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR and issuing 'xrandr --output default --mode 800x600' command changes the resolution. I might be wrong, but I'm under impression that making both (VGA & DVI) outputs to appear in 'xrandr -q' output is essential do get dualhead working. Any idea what might be wrong or what am I doing wrong?

[opensuse-factory] Amarok fails audio twice

27 May '09

Body Text and Fixed Width as requested Amarok has now failed to play any audio twice. both times it has been corrected by removing /home/me/.kde4. Both time and I have seen other mention it just stopped playing. The only way to fix it was to remove .kde4.

[opensuse-factory] PHP 5.3 soon to appear in Factory
by Cristian Rodríguez 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hi Folks: Next week, we are going to migrate to the next mayor PHP release on factory and buildservice repositories, this will cause some pain to people who maintain or develop PHP applications. Some key changes that you should be aware of: * "namespace" , "goto" and "Closure" are now reserved keywords, so in simple terms, you code cannot have functions or classes with that name, this breaks for example some old versions of "Mediawiki" (it has a class "Namespace" ) * The functions natsort, natcasesort, usort, uasort, uksort, array_flip, array_unique had an undocumented but somewhat widely used misfeature that allowed them to be used with objects, this has _never_ really worked, on this release your program will fail to execute properly. * You cannot use the pre mysql 4.1 "old password" feature, if you do so, your software will fail with "cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication" * a new level called E_DEPRECATED has been implemented and will be triggered if your script uses any of this functions * all ereg_* * define_syslog_variables() * register_tick_function() It may also appear at startup now or in the future if you are using any of this misfeatures: * register globals * magic_quotes_* * safe mode (ehem) Know issues: If your script is *exactly* 8 Kilobytes size, PHP will crash, this is not really a bug in PHP but a bug in re2c. It is being looked into, do not fill bug reports on it ;-) Thanks for flying with openSUSE. -- Cristian Rodríguez R.

[opensuse-factory] kernel 2.6.30 and hibernation
by Per Osbäck 26 May '09

26 May '09

hi all, anyone know a any changes regarding hibernation that happened between kernel 2.6.29 and 2.6.30? (or in the latest factory update) my laptop hibernates fine, but when starting up again, it totally bypasses my grub. since I do dual boot the laptop, hibernation doesn't make any sense anymore. thanks, per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] ntfs mount problems..
by Oddball 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hi, As my XP was unusable, i installed windows 7 beta, to find out if it was any good. After this, opensuse was ofcourse only available with the installation disk: repair option: boot installed system... Here i tried to mount the windows active partition, to get it into the grub bootmenu. But whatever i tried: not possible to mount, not even with root. Dolphin came up with: http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged, and i tried the suggested: chown root $(which ntfs-3g) chmod 4755 $(which ntfs-3g) set the etc-fstab to: /windows/C ntfs-3g default,locale=nl_NL.UTF-8 0 0 nothing seems to work. on both 11.1 and 11.2, i get the same: not able to mount C and or D ntfs partitions... I do not understand why there are allways troubles to get windows ntfs partitions mounted. There is realy no need for that, the drivers work perfect. Allways changing the ways to get things fixed make me very tired.. :( -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball, aka M9.

[opensuse-factory] Status distribution
by Stephan Kulow 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hi, I'm in the process of polishing Milestone 2 to be released end of the week. The kernel-legacy rename was reverted yesterday and I'm afraid I lost one day tracking it. If you have kernel-legacy installed now, you need to switch back to kernel-default manually. Sorry for that trouble. Build112 is the first in quite some time to have working live cds. DVD installation is broken atm though as the patterns are wrong - installation should work fine from NET.iso though. Beside that there are several build failures at the moment, but also quite a pile of packages waiting to be merged in openSUSE:Factory that I held back to finish milestone 2 (JFYI: you can check yourself with osc sr list openSUSE:Factory).

[opensuse-factory] Which 2.6.30-rc6 kernel to use ? (Default or Legacy)
by Raymond Wooninck 25 May '09

25 May '09

Hi, I have just updated to the current state in Factory and noticed that the kernel got updated to version 2.6.30-rc6. However after a reboot this kernel indicated that it could not start the system as that my CPU did not supported PAE. I installed the legacy kernel and this one is working. Now I am wondering if default has been updated to support only CPU's with PAE and that legacy is intended for the older i586, i686 CPU's. If the later is the correct one, then I guess it would be nice to report this during the update (or at least in the description of the package).

I had noticed that they had quite some problems to really build this kernel and was wondering if something went wrong in the process. Based on this renaming I will open a bug report.
