[opensuse-factory] (When) will nouveau be part of openSuSE 11.3?
by Joop Boonen 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

All, I'm wondering if nouveau will be a part of openSuSE? If yes, when? Currently openSuSE 11.3 M2 doesn't work properly out of the box on my notebook with a NVidia GPU. As openSuSE 11.3 M2 uses kernel 2.6.33 it potentially supports nouveau. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzc5NQ Regards, Joop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] KDE desktop font size
by Felix Miata 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

For years openSUSE has been distinguishable from other major distros in friendlier larger default fonts. Until recently while others have been using 8pt or 9pt as the base, oS was using 10pt. As of 11.3M3 at least it has been dropped to 9. Why? -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

[opensuse-factory] KDE4 not shutting down
by Donn Washburn 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Hey Group; @ things I have been seeing is 1. KDE4 not exiting properly. it just hangs after bring up the Logout button and pushing it with the mouse. The only way to kill it is either pull the plug (not good) or from a console tty# ps ax then kill -9 #### 2. When going to any other <CTRL><ALT><F1-5> it seems KDE or X left in <CTRL>F7 will just crash with nothing but the normal screen running. When this happens I get a full screen of KDE related error. Like missing kvmsever. -- 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

by Andi Sugandi 11 Mar '10

Hello, KDE 4 Live (openSUSE 11.2)[0] has the upstream background image[1] on Konqueror 'Introduction Page' while openSUSE 11.3 Milestones (KDE 4.4) has its (temporary?) branding[2]. Which package i should install to have the upstream version on Konqueror 'Introduction Page' in openSUSE 11.3 Milestones? Thanks in advance.

[opensuse-factory] KDE 4 and openSuSE
by Donn Washburn 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Hey Group; I have a NVidia card which may be causing a problem in 11.3 with KDE4 crashing. However, I can not tell because no kernel will compile an be installed and work using openSUSE's 2.6.33-5 kernel and cloneconfig or /proc/config.gz. NV.run file complains about the correct naming and will not compile to check. This all has been brought up due to the stock 11.3 NV module may keep crashing or maybe it is KDE4. If I start up X and KDE4 comes up then bring up some program like tvtime, vlc or amarok. Great audio comes up. Then use <Alt><CTRL><F1> and start on something in a console. No telling when but KDE or X will just crash in time (less than 30 minutes). What has caused VGA= not to work with a kernel /proc/config.gz or cloneconfig? I am not just a X end user. I see in /proc/config.gz the mention of selinux and in cloneconfig apparmor for the same variable. You would think that a openSuSE modified kernel 2.6.33 would compile and work when installed using cloneconfig but it doesn't. -- 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] Factory (as a guest) doesn't play with Virtual Machine hosts.....
by Scott Beamer 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Over the past 18-24 months, every milestone releasee (and a few final releases) of openSUSE has the same major problem with either the latest (release) versions of VirtualBox or VMware Player. 1) You can't run the installer from a LiveCD without booting to the Live CD desktop first. 2).After installing from the Live CD and booting into the into the Installed OS the spash screen apperars (I'll Esc to see what's going on under the hood) and the boot process appears nromal untill the point where one would be looking at A) KDM or B) GDM or c) a KDE/GNOME desktop. Instead of getting A-C you get a blank, black screen. Is this a (maddeningly old) bug or a feature? During the same period, simier versions of Fedora, Mandriva and Ubuntu have not had this issue. They "just work". What are they doing right?

[opensuse-factory] iwl3945 issue on openSUSE 11.3 M3
by Andi Sugandi 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Hi listmates, I'm Acer and KDE 4 user, and this machine has wireless adapter: 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) openSUSE 11.2 does the right job to automatically bring the Wlan0 start (the led is on) right after KDE is up, but different on openSUSE 11.3 M3 (and M2), the led is off and (of course) the wireless connection seems disable (eth0 still works though). To solve this issue, I should first: 'service network restart' , and then 'modprobe -r iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945' . My enabled repositories: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/non-oss/ The used kernel version: 2.6.33-5-desktop Does anyone have this issue too? Should i file a bug?

Hi, The 2 blocker issues for M3 are fixed (thanks to Michael, Jeff and Richard) and so far it looks quite ok to release M3. I'm only doing my very first DVD installation with gcc 4.5 and I will need to do some more testing, but unless new stuff pops up I can't forsee atm we're back on track.
