[opensuse-factory] OpenOffice and pps files
by Donn Washburn 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

OpenOffice on Milestone 3 fails to correctly open a power point file. Over and over it tries to recover a save from an email pps file or off the HD. First it is setting the permission so it can not write the file. Corrected with chmod and it will write the file. Then calling up OpenOffice3 Presenter, it fails to have completed the recovery and just tries again.

[opensuse-factory] Newly prepared virtualbox-ose in Virtualization repo
by Michal Seben 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hi all ! Because of bnc#567435 (duplicated symbols in vbox kernel modules) we have to split kernel packages for virtualbox-ose. Well and this is already done (in Virtualization repo https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=virtualbox- ose&project=Virtualization), but we also decide to clean up a spec file a little. This is also already done, but package needs testing. We also decide to move virtualbox-ose to Virtualization repo where it belongs. Just a notice : backported will be only last stable product (11.2 today) I will switch devel directory from Virtualization:VirtualBox to Virtualization next week + and I will try to push all changes to Factory. (I want to hit Milestone 5) Suggestions how to improve virtualbox-ose.spec in Virtualization repo are welcome. Preferred way is through the submitrequest :) bye! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [ANNOUNCE] Will update PackageKit to 0.6.1 in Factory next week
by Vincent Untz 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

Hi, Looking at the git log from PackageKit, it looks like Scott managed to fix the build of the zypp backend -- which was the reason we were stuck with an old PackageKit (0.5.1). So we'll put the next release of PackageKit in Factory (0.6.1, due next week, I think). Note that this changes the API (at least deprecated API were removed) and therefore will possibly break tools using PackageKit that were not prepared for this. You can take a look at the NEWS file for more details: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/packagekit/tree/NEWS As far as I know, there are two major consumers of PackageKit: gnome-packagekit (which should be fine) and the KDE update applet (no idea what the status is here). Is it an option to not update PackageKit? Not really: the version we have is old, not really maintained, and my guess is that we'll soon have tools that will require the new stuff there.

[opensuse-factory] grub1 gfxmenu resolution configuration
by Felix Miata 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

I don't see anywhere in /etc/sysconfig (e.g. boot, bootloader, bootsplash) to control the resolution in /boot/message pointed to by gfxmenu in /boot/grub/menu.lst. On my Intel systems the Grub resolution is much lower than with nv, radeon or mga. I'd like them all to be the higher used by the non-intels. How does one configure that? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] open source firmware for broadcom wifi cards - openFATE#306619
by Mariusz Fik 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

Hi, I made some feature request about include opensource firmware[1] for broadcom wifi cards into default installation media. https://features.opensuse.org/306619 I made a package with this firmware in my home repo[2]. It has been build for oS 11.2 and Factory and resides in noarch. After installing this package, firmware is located in '/lib/firmware/b43- open'. b43 tries to load firmware first from '/lib/firmware/b43', if there is no firmware tries load from '/lib/firmware/b43-open'. Here is a dmesg output: [ 1298.420958] b43-phy2: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found (core revision 9) [ 1298.529980] phy2: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel' [ 1298.556896] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PML, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] [ 1303.347086] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/ucode5.fw [ 1303.360600] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43-open/ucode5.fw [ 1303.386197] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43-open/pcm5.fw [ 1303.406365] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43-open/b0g0initvals5.fw [ 1303.430840] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43-open/b0g0bsinitvals5.fw [ 1303.533063] b43-phy2: Loading OpenSource firmware version 410.31754 [ 1303.533085] b43-phy2: Hardware crypto acceleration not supported by firmware [ 1303.533094] b43-phy2: QoS not supported by firmware [ 1303.606220] Registered led device: b43-phy2::tx [ 1303.628692] Registered led device: b43-phy2::rx [ 1303.630645] Registered led device: b43-phy2::radio [ 1303.654720] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready Then if we want install proprietary firmware, we execute 'install_bcm43xx_firmware', which install firmware into '/lib/firmware/b43'. Then dmesg output looks like this one: [ 116.655170] b43-phy1: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found (core revision 9) [ 116.771684] phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel' [ 116.829284] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PML, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] [ 121.359077] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/ucode5.fw [ 121.376799] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/pcm5.fw [ 121.394859] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0initvals5.fw [ 121.412569] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0bsinitvals5.fw [ 121.548055] b43-phy1: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10) [ 121.610461] Registered led device: b43-phy1::tx [ 121.637110] Registered led device: b43-phy1::rx [ 121.639184] Registered led device: b43-phy1::radio [ 121.663270] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready So it is not in conflict with our existing solution. Which devel project should I choose for this firmware?

[opensuse-factory] 11.3-M4 KDE4 live CD: print-to-pdf using okular vs. gwenview (and others)
by madworm_de.novell＠spitzenpfeil.org 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I use okular to display a scanned document in TIF format (LZW compressed). It displays fine. Using print-to-pdf creates a pdf file with ultra-low-res content, basically useless for printing it again. Using gwenview to view and print-to-pdf creates a file that properly reproduces the content of the tif image. The printing options in both programs are absolutely identical, but the result differs significantly. It is not obvious to me why this is the case. BTW, that problem also exists in 11.2 Later, Robert -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkurkNMACgkQxSQAU9UA5juwywCfV4xM6UTFxQ4rwfzyVeio47jR ynYAnRA0oZi+G04wdirTRYAQYfj/kQus =rS+3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
