11.1 Milestone 1 Hey Group; How come k3b as a user fails to have access to the CD/DVD Then as root.

[opensuse-factory] MS3/Factory bugs
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

Hello, as member of the testing core team I am testing 11.3-MS3 and later on my eeepc900 netbook, KVM and VirtualBox VMs. And there are some things that might need looking at. a) the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill X11 does not work anywhere/anyhow for me and Jaroslaw Zachwieja. While the issue is minor, I was somewhat disappointed on the response by Stefan Dirsch (repeatedly closing as WORKSFORME without documenting how to get it working). https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=576481 b) on openSUSE-KDE-LiveCD-i686-Build0516-Media.iso openOffice.org crashes when editing a text and doing Insert/Indexes+tables/Indexes+tables nearly the same backtrace is produced on a crash on Insert/Frame + resize-frame http://www3.zq1.de/bernhard/linux/ooffice-crash-backtrace unluckily, I could not get the debug rpms installed using the zypper lines proposed by gdb and the official Debug repo. c) the netbook does not suspend on lid-close, even though acpid is running. From some more testing I found that it can be helped with some tweaking in /etc/acpi/ . Hints in http://students.washington.edu/f/stuff/suspend.shtml Is there already some yast-way to do this configuration? d) with MS3 on my netbook, X11 keyboard layout was always US and could not be changed with yast2 keyboard or yast2 language or KDE-controlcenter. only xorg.conf with AutoAddDevices off helped. e) in that course of action I noticed that the (officially deprecated) SaX2 is no more working so creating a xorg.conf is now a lot more difficult. While I heard people saying that "SaX2 should no more be needed", there are still plenty cases for plenty people when a working xorg.conf is still needed. Installing a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.template could already help there. f) I noticed that installer does not allow me to have root fs crypted. Didn't this work in earlier times? I now got Build0516-KDE-LiveCD booting fine on VirtualBox-3.1.4 (with software-virt) where Build0500 crashed from bugs in vbox drivers. Good job there. http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=350338 might still remain, though -- Bernhard M.

[opensuse-factory] kernel from kernel.org
by Donn Washburn 25 Mar '10

What has openSuSE done which causes a kernel.org stable kernel not to work? It seems all of them lock up on the vga=. -- 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

[opensuse-factory] new package: upstart
by Stephan Kulow 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi, I submitted a new package to openSUSE:Factory: upstart. Mainly because of https://features.opensuse.org/305690 - the biggest gain of having it is clearly that everyone else has it, it doesn't get openSUSE a win right away. But not having it, may become a disadventage shortly - who knows. For now we will support sysvinit and upstart as alternatives, but my preference would be not for long. The package I submitted is pretty much only a start and adopting our scripts to upstart will be less of a pain if we do not have to support alternatives.

[opensuse-factory] Status: Distribution

Hi, After complete lack of feedback for upstart, I decided to give it a try for Milestone 4 - so the top 6 feature is done ;) Milestone 4 is almost done and I didn't have a problem with my testing so far, so if everything goes right all it takes is an announcement.

[opensuse-factory] Factory update to kernel 2.6.34-rc2 coming
by Jeff Mahoney 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - 2.6.34-rc2 was tagged over the weekend so I completed the integration with the master branch. KOTD and Kernel:HEAD kernels will be building shortly and once I've gotten a successful round of builds I'll submit to Factory. Since it's an -rc2 release there will probably be some hiccups, and we'd love to get feedback on them. If you run into an issue it would be awesome if you could also confirm whether the issue is in the -vanilla kernel so we know whether to file upstream bugs or not.

[opensuse-factory] Removal of SaX2
by Jon Cosby 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

I see where SaX2 has been removed from M3/GNOME. As this has been the standard way to resolve video card issues, what will be taking its place? Is there a better way to go about this?

[opensuse-factory] synaptiks on openSUSE 11.3
by Andi Sugandi 17 Mar '10

Hi Listmates, I could not tap the touchpad of Acer Aspire 5620 on openSUSE 11.3 Mx (it works on openSUSE 11.2 though), but worked nice with synaptiks installed (from KKFD repository). Will the package be included in the 11.3 public release?
