[opensuse-factory] howto escape 800x600 with M3's mga driver?
by Felix Miata 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Back in http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-xorg/2010-08/msg00007.html using similar subject line I was able to escape 800x600 into 1600x1200 & 2048x1536. Current 11.3 xorg.conf is http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.conf.08-1600x1200x120x24bpp-mga113-… & Xorg.0.log is http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-113-mga-kt880-1600x1200x120 Now on M3 using same machine and exact same xorg.conf I have the original problem back producing Xorg.0.log http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-kt880-114M3-800x600 Down at the last 1/3 of the log I see M3 isn't picking up more than minimal default modes, but I don't see why unless (EE) MGA(0): [dri] MGADRIScreenInit failed (libdri.a too old) has something to do with it. Can anyone else tell? Is there a new bug in server 1.9.2 that needs filing, or one someone knows about that I didn't find? Does whatever provides libdri.a need a rebuild? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] drop /usr/sbin/Check?
by Ludwig Nussel 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Hi, AFAICT /usr/sbin/Check only does two things nowadays - compress man pages, info files and fonts - run SuSEconfig.permissions The former is done by brp-compress anyways, except for fonts. The latter is obsolete and I'd like to call the replacement in a separate brp script. So only compressing fonts is left AFAICT. I guess that part could either easily be patched into brp-compress too or just be omitted. So far I only found wqy-bitmapfont where the font compression triggers. Therefore /usr/sbin/Check should be safe to drop, right? cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] chilly foor 11.3 /11sp1?
by Hans Witvliet 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Hi all, During my daily rsync i noticed (i might have been for quite a while, but today i noticed it) a new build version on the OBS of chilly hotspot software. Unfortunately, it is only build (in repo/network:/aaa/ ) for SLE_10 and factory. As i will need it in a couple of weeks, i was wondering if there miht be any chance for the other suse versions (11.3, sles11sp1) Though it might be a piece of cake to get it installed/configured, if there might be an chance of a ready to run/configure version i would rather prefer it. Kind regards, Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] NFS and hibernation
by Carlos E. R. 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I post this here because I want to add a feature that should not be too dificult. I can write the script, but I need some help with two doubts. I think it is known that the kernel oopses when trying to hibernate a machine and there is an NFS mount (Bug 568132). I wondered if I could create an script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ that detects there is an NFS mount active, and aborts hibernation warning the user. But my 1st problem is how to detect there is an NFS mount? I tried this: mount | grep "type nfs" but it fails because it hits on: nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw) Maybe I'm foggy now and can't make grep get what I want - too little sleep tonight :-) Perhaps showmount, but I don't know how to make it show only imported filesystems. And after that, I need something in the /etc/pm/sleep.d/00_checknfs script that aborts the process. Some result code, perhaps? Perhaps someone of the devs here knows about that one? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

by Stephan Kulow 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Hi, There have been various talks about systemd at the openSUSE conference and we would like to go forward. So next step would be a wider testing: so please install systemd and boot with init=/bin/systemd and report issues (here). AJ documented some more details on: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/10/08/systemd-and-osc2010/ If you want coloured pictures, compare http://ktown.kde.org/~coolo/bootchart-sysvinit.png and http://ktown.kde.org/~coolo/bootchart-systemd.png Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] --download-in default/--download-as-needed invalid
by Felix Miata 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Has this been changed to download-in-advance lately? I doubt any of my Factory systems have enough freespace for 1084 packages to download before installing any of them. Can it be configured somewhere so that I don't have to remember --download-in-heaps or --download-as-needed on cmdline every time? I don't see any examples in zypper.conf to suggest it can. zypper1.5.1-2.1 is complaining "Unknown option '--download-as-needed' and "Unknown option '--download-in-heaps', so I have to manually select small groups of packages to in in order to keep enough freespace on / to function. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
