[opensuse-factory] Re: [Flightgear-users] OpenGL graphics context
by Donn Washburn 16 May '10

16 May '10

Hey Group; After downloading and compiling everything needed for Flightgear to work and the following error show up. I have installed NVidia's .run. which required adding --ignoreABI in /etc/X11/initd/xserverrc. Guess what? as root glxgears fails. # glxgears glxgears: Error: glXCreateContext failed And fgfs still fails after everything was recompiled. as root even> # fgfs Error: Unable to create OpenGL graphics context. Error: Unable to create OpenGL graphics context. Segmentation fault Notice the word "context" in both errors. Does anyone know if it is xorg, openSuSE or KDE4 problem that is causing Flightgear not to work -- 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] 11.3 ntp, eject and theme
by jdd 15 May '10

15 May '10

Hello :-) I just made a fresh install of the 11.3 M6 live kde disk on my computer (before I only had done that on VirtualBox). I can see some very small problems. Are they well known or may I go to Bugzilla? * two small problems with ntp (install time). ** the ntp pool is not given as default. I had to give my own known server (ntp.cict.fr), and time was taken from it ** after that the time was correct. However when going to the summary screen, the time was off by two hours (UTC time?). I could then go back to ntp setup, make refresh and all was ok. * Just before the reboot, my cd was ejected... but I really did the boot from an USB flash key, so the ejected reader was not the good one. Not really a problem * the aspect / theme is identical to 11.2. Is that on purpose and to be changed later or is this to be kept for final? Not than I don't like it, it's simply confusing not to know at first glance that you have a new distro * I couldn't find any empty terminal in this install (I wanted to look at the YaST logs for ntp debugging), but nothing free from F1 to F12 anyway fast install. Easy creation of the live USB key with dd. Good :-)) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-support-the-Linux-Documentation-Project/372… http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-fan-page-of-Claire-Dodin/106485119372062?… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] USB or selinx
by Donn Washburn 15 May '10

15 May '10

/dev/sda7 is / (root) I have a USB<>IDE /dev/sdc1 which was cleaned with fsck.ext3 this evening. It is a 74Gig WD drive. My question is based on what used to be a reasonable "cp -R" from (/dev/sdc1)/media/sdc1 of flightgear data/* which took two or three minutes to copy to (/sda7)/usr/lib/FlightGear. Under M6 the red "write" LED is continuously on during a copy which seem wrong. Also it has been busy for over 1 hr. and only copied about 10 percent of the Data. Is this a USB or security problem -- 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] RFC: to upstart or not
by Stephan Kulow 15 May '10

15 May '10

Hi, I made upstart an optional replacement for sysvinit to a) test if it works good enough b) prove that it has no influence on the boot time b) is done and a) is kind of done. It works, and it only sometimes shows problems - that I have no time to debug as debugging it involves rebooting and it's about impossible to debug other people's machines reboot remotely. Additionally to that, upstart takes more memory than sysvinit's init and it makes it harder for people to adminstrate 11.3 and older systems in parallel. If upstart was the obvious future, I wouldn't care too much - but systemd[1] at least opens doubts that this will be the case. So I would to reduce the feature to "provide upstart" and set it to done and change the patterns back to sysvinit. Oppinions? If someone really wants upstart badly, he has to provide a patch as a reply to comment#38 in the feature though ;) [1] http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html [2] https://features.opensuse.org/305690 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Status of Contrib
by Karsten König 14 May '10

14 May '10

Hello, I was wondering if there is a definite decision about how to go on forward with the seperation of Contrib and mainline Factory. If I remember correctly Contrib was the place to submit stuff to as normal contributor to openSUSE, now Factory is open for everybody to submit stuff, based on reputation, skills and whatnot. So what's the future of Contrib now, this looks like a limbo state to me. Also does openSUSE try to be as inclusive as debian now (everything in one big repository) or seperate atleast into Factory and Contrib? Or even further with repositories like network:utilities, games, GNOME:Extra, KDE:Community etc. which currently have a 'rolling release' way of life. I can't come up with a big weighing pro for any of the possibilities, but I just can't say what model is currently followed.

[opensuse-factory] xorg.conf
by Donn Washburn 14 May '10

14 May '10

Hey Group; Enlight of all of the xorg xorg.conf changes. Or the lack of needing a xorg.conf file is there another config file planned for the latest nouveau or xorg so that NVidia's file.run can be used. It is needed to enable 3D and speed up the display so that programs like Flightgear can work. -- 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

I did ". ~/.bashrc" followed by "echo $CLASSPATH" in the same shell and it just returned the prompt. Only after the reboot did it report the CLASSPATH and as expected on all tabs in konsole. I shall watch out for this in future in case the tools are not working properly - e.g:- a couple of us have had a similar problem with a USB device in Ubuntu and Kubuntu 10.04 that was only cured by a reboot - very unusual as udevadm indicated everything was OK.
