Hi, I need help with https://bugzilla.novell.com/527312 (preload-kmp: FATAL: Could not open '/boot/System.map-': No such file or directory). Has anyone seen such errors when installing a KMP?

[opensuse-factory] Removing sax2 from live cd?
by Vincent Untz 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, I wonder why we have sax2 on the live cds. If X is not working, then it doesn't really make a lot of sense to even try to use the live cd, does it? Am I missing something? (not saying we should remove sax2 from the distro, dvd, or whatever) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] m5 first impressions
by Peter Czanik 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hello, Finally, after a long break (second son :-) ), I had a little time to install a Milestone release. It is on my new Dell Inspiron mini netbook, so I went for XFCE. Some first impressions: - the touchpad was practically useless during installation, with the pointer jumping all over the screen, worked better on the installed system - connecting an USB mouse did not work during installation (worked fine after installation) - machine froze near the end of the autoconfiguration process with a blank screen, after waiting for a few minutes a turn off / turn on helped (there is no reset button :-) ) - I chose to install XFCE, but instead of the usual xdm, gdm was started and after login a minimalist GNOME started with an ugly message about missing TomBoy - XFCE is a bit broken, for example xfwm4 is not started automagically I wonder, if the last two are the side effects of the turn off / turn on... More testing tomorrow, with hopefully also time for bugzilla entries...

[opensuse-factory] Sync between servers

Redirector is directing M3 DVD iso to mirrors1.kernel.org that has only milestone 4 that is not accessible at the moment. The NET iso is redirected to mirrors2.kernel.org and it has no problem. And now, after few attempts I'm redirected to mirrors2. -- 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] Add Bug 527910 to most annoying bugs?
by Mark Gray 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

It occurs to me that Bug 527910 - "KMS should not be the default for radeon DRM module" should be added to the most annoying bugs page for milestone 5 (It is destroying factory installations for a lot of Radeon users even as we speak.) I had to compile a kernel myself with CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS disabled in order to get my Radeon RS200 working again.

[opensuse-factory] Libtdb, wich one is the good one?
by Andrea Florio 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Hi guys, i was searching for some informations. Actually DEFAULT libtdb is provided by samba package, but this only provide the library and a development file, no binaries or python bindings as i usually found on debian (for example). I then searched by myself the tdb source code and i found it here: ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/tdb/ latest release looks to be 17/06/2009 just for test i then packages it, and the "USUAL" tdb package appears infact using that source i get: tdb-tools (that are:) %_bindir/tdbbackup %_bindir/tdbdump %_bindir/tdbtool a libtdb python binding, and of course libtdb and his development files. my question then, (because i'm actually on a packager, not a developer) why all that differences? wich one is the best one? are they compatible or not? I saw that only GNOME:/Evolution:/mapi project looks to use the same library i found (even if an older version) actually because i need i working samba, i packaged without publish this "new" tdb package, if you want to take a look on it just checkout home:anubisg1/tdb package if i'm right we may want to use that libtdb and then provide lots more tools than default libtdb provided by samba.src.rpm Regards, Andrea -- ------------------------------------------ Andrea Florio QSI International School of Brindisi Sys Admin openSUSE-Education Administrator openSUSE Official Member (anubisg1) Email: andrea(a)opensuse.org Packman Packaging Team Email: andrea(a)links2linux.de Web: http://packman.links2linux.org/ Cell: +39-328-7365667 ------------------------------------------

Hey Group; What is message telling me? I compiled a SuSE based kernel source. I only changed the CPU and kernel name so not to over write SuSE -1-default.

[opensuse-factory] Regarding Milestone 5!
by smurfd 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Hey, So im fairly new to the openSUSE community(read, less than half a year, comming from a sourcebased distribution and also a using "rolling releases") .. this thing with milestone releases is new to me. ps. im not sure what maillist i was supposed to send this to, hence my choise in this one Im running GNOME as DE but with Xfwm4 as my windowmanager instead of Metacity. previous milestone, i did like so ... "killall metacity && xfwm4 --replace&" and re-logged in, and all was peachy. Now in this release, after doing the above, it still tries to start metacity every half minute or so.. (noticed this due to spewing out errors in my tty1 when i missed a metacity theme) ... maby it was like that in previous milestones aswell, but i didnt notice due to lack of missing theme?! :) ps2. concider this a bugreport of sorts... Also, the update from milestone to milestone release is to me a big PITA a simple "sudo zypper dist-upgrade" seems to crash my installation most of the time. (read, the Milestone 3,4,5) .. then having to revert back to milestone2 and do a dist-upgrade again. The kernel, Kernel-default-extra .. in this milestone is different version than kernel-default .. which is fun, since doing a ínstallation using the milestone2 installer ext4 is the default filesystem, not beeing supported by the kernel-default :P aaannd.. Yast , the package management seems to break aswell.. i can fire up yast2 but when i choose the package management, it says something about not having Gtk plugin installed or something like that. sorry, this became a long mail with lots of "complaints".. .but its cus i luve the opensuse.. actually. best regards /smurfd aka nicklas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

With acer-wmi enabled, it still failed on 2.6.31-rc5-git3-12, but successfully boots well on Linux 2.6.31-rc5-git3-13. Thanks. > Can someone provide the full trace of the oops that happens here?

I'm still confuse (still newbie) how to capture the full trace of the oops when i could not boot to the system with previous kernel (< 2.6.31-rc5-git3-13 and acer-wmi enabled)?

[opensuse-factory] m5 & Intel GM965, what was the trick to get X to work?
by Greg Freemyer 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

All, I just zypper dup'ped a 11.1 laptop to the latest (m5). And now init 5 seems to be basically ignored. init 3 is working fine. I've got a Intel GM965 so I tried: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528397#c3 but that had no effect. I'm pretty sure someone here had posted a different solution.

[opensuse-factory] kmixrc size in kde3
by Sid Boyce 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

If I alter size in /home/lancelot/.kde/share/config/kmixrc or I remove kmixrc, it gets recreated when I start kmix, it's very large with the bottom disappearing off the screen. On startup =========== Position=420,0 Size=1082,1852 Changed to ========== Position=450,0 Size=421,230 I wonder if anyone knows where the size may be coming from. I shall delete ~/.kde if no one knows to see if it resturns to normal. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] Milestone 5
by Donn Washburn 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hey Group; Why is that a "user" cannot use dsp or cdrom/DVDs right off the bat. It seems there is a effort to make an end user needed equipment not usable due to permissions. That also include other/additional so programs can access the device It seems to me that this issue would be a new user reason not to load linux. I hear lots of folks just say "Ubuntu works right out of the box". Yet openSuSE insists on root configured setting. On a very fresh openSuSE Milestone 5 (last night, no updates or zypper dup) as a user in KDE so far kmix and amarok fail. I bet k3b will complain about no CDrom/DVD also. Yep it does. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi list, Just updated to latest Factory repos and still I notice the same error at login into Gnome desktop as per Milestone 1: Error activating XKB configuration. It can happen under various circumstances: - a bug in libxklavier library - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities) - X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation X server version data: The X.Org Foundation 10602000 If you report this situation as a bug, please include: - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd The output of the above commands is: marco@linux-48n5:~> xprop -root |grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "br", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "br", "", "" marco@linux-48n5:~> gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [br-abnt2] options = [] model = Note: my notebook is an HP Pavilion DV6230BR; I honestly have not any problems with my keyboard, so I don't know why the presence of such warning message. -- Marco <amdturion> SuSE Linux 11.2 Milestone 3 Kernel 2.6.30-10-default GNOME 2.26.2 VirtualBox

Re: [opensuse-factory] Why don't we change to cdrtools ?

Then "real" code was licensed also as >CDDL, so changing the build system isn't an option anymore. >- The CDDL is incompatible with the GPL... but cdrtools mixes them???? >- The Wikipedia says Ubuntu asked Eben Moglen and he said Ubuntu could >not distribute cdrtools. As long as people continue to repeat false claims from the initiators of the dispute, we will not be able to find a solution.... The problem was initiated as a personal attack initiated by Eduard Bloch in May 2005. Bloch did start to send repeated personal insults to me after he send me a very buggy "utf-8 patch" for mkisofs that could not be integrated into mkisofs because of massive quality problems. He later invented the fairy tale that there is a license problem..... The license change in cdrtools was done in order to defend the software against the attacks from Eduard Bloch. There is absolutely no license problem with the original software. This has been verified by the Sun Legal department, Eben Moglen and a German lawywer. I have a private mail from Eben Moglen that confirms that there is no license problem in the original software and that the "GPL FAQ" on the FSF website is wrong. There is definitely no public claim from Moglen about problems, there is just an obviously incorrect POV claim from Marc Shuttleworth. The test on wikipedia is wrong and unfortunately mostly repeats the FUD created by Eduard Bloch. There is however a legal problem with cdrkit. Cdrkit is in conflict with the copyright law and cannot be distributed legally. Sun is of course distributing the original software only. Even Debian agreed on distributing the original software again as soon as possible, see: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/linux-dist.html Jörg -- EMail:joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js(a)cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) joerg.schilling(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Problems with intel driver
by Stephan Kulow 08 Aug '09

Hi, Latest factory only boots into a black X without any way to go into text console - the only thing that works is pressing the power off to trigger reboot. Does anyone else see this problem or is it specific to my hardware?

Hello, What is the proper way of installing moblin, if I don't want to trash my whole disk with the OEM installer? I got a netbook with Windows pre installed for work, but I have plenty of free space on the HDD to test Linux when Windows is not required.
