[opensuse-factory] What happened to Gnome in M6
by Rastislav Krupanský 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Hi. Is anything wrong with Gnome in M6? Installation process uses Clearlooks theme (probably) [1] No sonar theme is used by default (never mind, because i don´t like this theme). By default is used Clearlooks. Although are Sonar and Gilouche themes installed, they aren´t available in Appearance ->Theme. Main menu (SLAB) is missing by default. Menu bar is used instead. Two panels are used - top and bottom, not only one. No network icon available in systray. What does it mean? Can we expect some radical modifications? Or is it just a bug? Here you are screenshot [2], what i can see after boot from LiveCD and after installation also.

[opensuse-factory] M6 locks up Intel on install attempt not addressed on linuxrc page
by Felix Miata 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Is there anything I can try on cmdline other than textmode=1 to prevent lockup on i845G when installation tries to switch to GUI? How do I tell installer on cmdline to use something other than intel driver? I see nothing about this on http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc So far failure using alternatively: vga=0x305 vga=normal modeset=0 sax2=1 failsafe ddc=0 noddc I use Grub to load the installation kernel and initrd from local disk instead of burning isos, and don't see any way to access the files in loader/ to see what the options are supposed to be. Thanks to javier on IRC for reminding me about i915.modeset=0, which works. :-) I added a Modeset section to http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc with the best information I knew. Maybe there's more it should say, and others can update it. -- "Suppos [sic] a nation in some distant region, should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. . . .

[opensuse-factory] Insatllation on Geode systems
by Richard (MQ) 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

I've been having lots of problems installing the 11.3 milestones on a Geode based Panel PC. This is a reasonably recent machine (purchased 2008) albeit low spec - 500MHz CPU, 1G RAM and 8G CF card. Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, though the vt6655 module for these seems very buggy (#597299). The latest issue I'm facing is that the display auto-configuration gets it wrong - the text during boot is legible (mode 0x315, display is 800x600 native) but later splits to two different (but possibly related) problems: Text consoles (Control-Alt-F1 etc) show just a mass of near-random colours, like my old Sinclair spectrum did when it overheated. However, the system hasn't crashed: Control-Alt-F7 takes me to XFCE (lightweight desktop) which runs OK, except that the display resolution seems wrong and the title bar of each window is corrupt. Looking at /var/log/messages/Xorg.log gives few clues, the Geode LX video chipset seems to be recognised and at 800x600, but I don't know where else to look. Nothing obvious in Bugzilla searching for Geode etc. Has anyone any suggestions before I open another bug? -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- 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 'picard'
by Sascha Peilicke 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Hi, I'd like to submit the package 'picard' which contains MusicBrainz Picard, a music file tag editor. This package uses only free components (unlike other 'picard' packages) and adds some useful plugins. My question is which devel project is suited best for it. It's a python-qt4 based GPLv2 app that seems not to be packaged yet in the official repos. It can be found in the project 'home:saschpe' [1]. Footnotes: [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=picard&project=home%3Asasch… -- Sascha Peilicke http://saschpe.wordpress.com
