Bringing this back into the list, so we don't have a situation where complaints are public while solutions are private. The issue with the kernel installation was that depmod doesn't deal well with having the full debuginfo in the modules on a system with limited memory (when dealing with a module dir of several GB, 1G memory is limited). Installing with INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 works around the issue - and since the modules in the kernel RPMs have the debuginfo stripped and put in a separate package, we don't run into this on systems using the supplied RPMs. What Nouveau problems are you having? I have regular Xorg hangs with Nouveau on my system that present with the following message. I don't believe it to be kernel-related. [153286.983] [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. I've filed a bug[1] upstream but the general consensus is that newer nVidia chips (I have an ION2) have introduced a microcontroller which the Nouveau driver doesn't know how to interact with. The Nouveau team is working on it, but it's slow going figuring out a black box within a black box. The proprietary nvidia driver doesn't hang on my system but is so slow that I actually prefer the full-speed and occasional hanging driver than to use the proprietary one. - -Jeff [1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26980 - -- Jeff Mahoney SuSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkz8FdAACgkQLPWxlyuTD7JrXwCeJhS6g9+pmp/sD5R1v8HdkPa3 +FkAoJVQIlWAijJ/Pkg/xJpGulHq0oYs =7/r2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] w3m and http 406 (was: Language selection and keyboard during installation)

Why it didn't immediately work in w3m - w3m apparently asks for "/index" when no other path is given, i.e. if you run "w3m http://geo.jessen.ch". My webserver is set up to use content-negotiation, and the only available option in this case was a PHP file, which is why apache said "406 nothing appropriate, but feel free to pick this php code". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-2.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Firefox 3.6 repos broken
by Hans-Peter Jansen 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

[Always being unsure, where to direct general firefox issues] Hi, obviously, the mozilla repos where organized, and and Firefox 3.6 was moved to mozilla:maintained/firefox36. BS tells us, that 3.6 was built just fine: https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries?package=firefox36&project=mozil… but in the repos, most packages are missing: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla:/maintained/openSUSE_11.3… The same is true for 11.1 and 11.2. I know, that BS is on fire at the moment, but something is broken behind the scenes related to publishing.. Any ideas anybody?

[opensuse-factory] NTP 4.2.5 w/ --enable-ntp-signd
by Adam Tauno Williams 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

Is anyone working on or aware of current NTP packages for openSUSE? I'm working on setting up a Samba 4 AD domain on openSUSE and NTP 4.2.5 or later is required compiled with the --enable-ntp-signd option. <https://support.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1028> I've searched high and low and not been able to find anymore more recent than 4.2.4p8 and without the required options to server W32 time in an AD domain. <http://www.ntp.org/downloads.html> Rumor is that the latest Ubuntu ships a compatible package; I haven't checked that out yet. BTW, Bind 9.7.2 built --with-gssapi is also required for Samba4 & AD client dynamic updates. I've hacked together a package for that [which seems to be working] <https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Awhitemice% 3Asamba4> The bind in openSUSE 11.3 doesn't have --with-gssapi. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Language selection and keyboard during installation - questions for all English installing users
by Andreas Jaeger 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

There's in bugzilla a user from Australia. Currently during installation, you choose a language at the first screen and then automatically the keyboard is changed to the primary keyboard for that language. He and others from Australia install with language "English (UK)" but uses an US keyboard - and apparently the US keyboard is common in most of the commonwealth. Since these users than do not change the keyboard setting, they have a system installed that does not work for them with their keyboard. for details see: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656023 Is this a common problem? Should we change it - and has anybody a good idea on how to change it? For me as German, I like the way that if I select "German" as language, I get a German keyboard setup automatically, so I do not want to move away from that one. I see right now the following options: 1) Leave everything as is and close the bugreport as WONTFIX. 2) Handle "English (UK)" special and use the "English US" keyboard. 3) Do not change keyboard at all. 4) Add some more locales, like "English (AU)" that use English (UK) as language but English US keyboard. 5) Any other ideas?

Hello, This is the content of ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/factory/iso/README.FIRST These ISO files are published automatically once a new snapshot finished. They haven't seen any kind of testing before publishing, so download on your own risk and cost. Most of the time they work, but there are times when they are broken - we try to update http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/Status as soon as we know about that. So visit (and edit if you reported a bug severe enough) http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Factory One url is bad http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/Status Glenn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Problem with applydeltaiso trying to create 11.4M4
by Richard (MQ) 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Following a successful trial with 11.4M3 (Build 845) I've successfully downloaded openSUSE-DVD-Build0845_Build0908-i586.delta.iso (the md5 checks out OK) but using applydeltaiso from 11.3 (standard x64 version) I get an internal md5 sum failure at package wine-32bit (this after many packages have been processed correctly). Same error at glibc-devel when trying to create the M4 x64 version. All isos and deltas re-checked against published md5sums and are OK Is this an issue with 11.3's deltarpms package (yast says I have 3.5-6.1)? If so can anyone point me to a newer one to install on my 11.3 system to save me having to install 11.4 M3 just to create the isos.... cheers Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
