[opensuse-factory] NFS client doesn't work in MS6
by Vahis 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

The normal (YaST > Network Services > NFS Client) way to configure NFS client to mount server's shares doesn't work. Choosing directory works but then choosing mount point gives: "Unable to mount the NFS entries from /etc/fstab" The line that YaST made there: 192.168.0.99:/data1 /data1 nfs defaults 0 0 Also, another pop-up window Error-KDialog says: QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: Success Vahis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Yast2 Software repositories MS6
by Karl Sinn 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Hi, whenever I try to install software YAST2 can not access the repositories for 11.2. The only for me working repository is the packman 11.1 repository. BTW all the community repositories are still linked to 11.1 version.

[opensuse-factory] Version update in devel projects
by Petr Uzel 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Hi, what should we do with 'version update' requests coming to a devel project? Since Factory is now frozen, by accepting such request, the code would diverge between the devel project and Factory and so further bugfixes through the devel project would be impossible. On the other hand, declining/ignoring the request might upset the contributor and discourage him/her from any further contributions. -- Best regards / s pozdravem Petr Uzel, openSUSE Community Multiplier Team ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: puzel(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 http://www.suse.cz 190 00 Prague 9, CR

Trying to do a "zypper dup" on my factory machine, this package always times out. All other packages seem to install ok, but this package for some reason always stalls. In zypper.log I see that it goes through several mirrors, but all gives loads of "Invalid checksum" errors on it Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] bug 533766: save your menu.lst
by Stephan Kulow 25 Aug '09

Hi, Make sure not to fall in the trap: check your menu.lst after zypper dup before you reboot. There is a bug with the kernel update that erases all kernel entries.

[opensuse-factory] Milestone5 observations
by Per Jessen 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Because I had to install a new server this morning, I figured I might as well try out M5 and see how it goes. These are just observations, the server will be reinstalled and prepared for production today and tomorrow, so no follow-ups or "try this and that". Context: Software: M5 IA32, NET iso, repo=factory. Hardware - Proliant server, dual Intel 32bit-only Xeon, 2Gb RAM. Installation on 4-drive RAID5 SCSI array behind Compaq Smart-Array. 1. on booting the NET iso, I noticed the text-version of the boot menu flash past, visible for 1-2 seconds. 2. the popup window saying "loading linux kernel" went immediately to 100%, then stayed there, flashing every now and then, then went back to 0% before switching to textmode to continue boot-up. 3. license was first displayed in German. 4. "Suggested partitioning": No automatic proposal possible. I did a rescan disks, but that didn't change anything. I then partitioned the array manually, tried rescan again, no change.

Hi, as mentioned in my other mail flash is not working on MS6 in firefox. Now I tried konqueror who proposed me to download flash from opensuse. I like this proposition, it would be good if firefox could propose me something similar. But, it's not working Yast2 shows up with an error message: The install link or file you opened does not contain instructions for this version of openSUSE.

[opensuse-factory] Check installation media gives me result md5sum wrong
by Rastislav Krupanský 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hi. I have a problems with md5sums. I downloaded both Gnome and KDE4 LiveCD's (from ftp and via torrent also) and checked md5 in MD5 Check application. Results are md5checksums match. But if i run "Check installation media" from LiveCD's, result is md5 is wrong. Media's are launched from iso via VMware. Nevertheless i burned iso's and tried them in notebook HP NX 6110, but unsuccessfully. Gnome LiveCD doesn't include install icon and CPU runs at 100%. KDE LiveCD crashed after Greeter the first time, and the second time it didn't launch installation. They don't work correctly. What can be wrong? I really don't understand, how is that possible that md5 check gives me correct result, but "Check installation media" doesn't. It's totally blocking situation for me, because i'm not able to try/install M6 on my hardware. Please any hints.

[opensuse-factory] 18 months of updates
by houghi 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

As from 11.2 there will be an 18 months support instead of the 24 previously. First let me say I think it is a pity that it went for 2 version + 2 months instead of 3 version + 2 months, which would have been 26 months or just over two years. However, the pill could be a lot less bitter if there is a good and easy way to upgrade. Something like `apt-get upgrade`.

[opensuse-factory] You want to access 11.2 from 11.1 and 11.2 is using ext4 (default)
by Rajko M. 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

The simple way is not possible, as ext4 module is not loaded by default: # mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/112 mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4' The 11.1 has development support for ext4 which is visible from: # grep -i ext4 /boot/config-2.6.27.29-0.1-pae CONFIG_EXT4DEV_FS=m CONFIG_EXT4DEV_FS_XATTR=y CONFIG_EXT4DEV_FS_POSIX_ACL=y CONFIG_EXT4DEV_FS_SECURITY=y So, you have to load ext4dev module first: # modprobe ext4dev # mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/112 # <no complains, which means operation is done> If you want to make that support permanent, there is few ways. The simplest to explain is to add 'modrobe ext4dev' to the /etc/init.d/boot.local script. WARNING: ext4dev is considered experimental module in kernel 2.6.27, that is used in openSUSE 11.1. Although I believe that openSUSE kernel developers backported patches, kernel 2.6.28 is the first with the official support, so using this you are on your own. -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] ext4 filesystem
by Vahis 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

As the next openSUSE now defaults to ext4, I'm wondering. I don't understand what I gain/miss with ext4/ext3. Is the benefit significant compared with ext3 and how? Is ext4 better for hard disks, is it perhaps much better for ssd? The price of solid state drives is coming down, and since I know nothing, I'm tempted. Should I go ext4/ssd? Should I go ext4/hdd? What do I miss if I stay ext3? Or should I go back to reiserfs? I never had an issue with it and the enterprice versions default to it.

[opensuse-factory] Milestone 5, some problems
by Karl Sinn 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hi, I just test installed Milestone 5 and discovered a few problems: - I can not install *.otf fonts in KDE - In Yast and in the KDE system settings double clicks are needed although I declared wanting to open with single click in the KDE system settings. It's ennoying that single click and double click are not consistant through the whole installation - In can not switch at all to the text console with <CTRL><ALT><F1> - I can not install the multimedia packages from packman because of libMagickCore.so.1 is missing Besides the packman problem which is probably linked to the fact that packman will release versions only after the official 11.2 release, should I make bug reports?
