[opensuse-factory] [11.2] KDE-4.4.x Factory and kupdateapplete
by Michael Schueller 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hello List Since i have upgradet to KDE 4.4.x on openSUSE 11.2 the packagekit Module for the kupdateapplete is not working anymore. There are no users anymore defined in the KDE Systemettings to be allowed to Update the System, and it is not possible to add them again because the "Add User" Buttom is even not working. This is really bad, because in this way only root is allowed to do security updates with yast or zypper. Is there a way to fix that ?

[opensuse-factory] opensuse 11.3 (m6) and mobile compatibility
by Andrea Florio 19 May '10

19 May '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi people, i got today, for the first time, some of the famous usb modem like huawei ones (and not only). i got them coz i am supposed to write something about linux compatibility. on suse 11.2 i'm quite happy, after upgrade usb_modeswitch (from 0.9.6 into OSS to 1.1.2) to latest version (into hardware OBS repo) i had ALL of them working just plug and play. i thought that with suse 11.3 it would be even easier... you know, more recent kernel, more recent packages, more recent everything... instead... well instead, not only none of the worked, but looks their support has been even dropped... usb_modeswitch is not even into factory repo (why???) so... the question is... any reason to drop that important hardware support? someone just forgot to submit requestes or what else? (i am ready to take care of that package and others needed to provide that support on suse 11.3, IMHO it's a MUST HAVE) Regards Andrea - -- - ------------------------------------------ Andrea Florio QSI International School of Brindisi Sys Admin CISCO CCNA Certified openSUSE-Education Administrator openSUSE Official Member (anubisg1) Email: andrea(a)opensuse.org Packman Packaging Team Email: andrea(a)links2linux.de Web: http://packman.links2linux.org/ Cell: +39-328-7365667 - ------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvy/EoACgkQyCZT87TFPuhnbQCfViAc3US5sHiG+1llFvQZP2kY 8PQAn3QYFgKgunvhQYKhYlxjD/U3trvr =Brl6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] System cleaner
by Rastislav Krupanský 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi. What i can read from experiences by people on the forums, BleachBit [1] is very useful system cleaner and users appreciate it. It speeds up system even, when users erase unnecessary stuff after some time of using. For openSUSE is available in Packman repo, but i want´to ask why is not distributed in oss repo(it´s distributed under GPL) and eventually could it be possible distribute BleachBit(or another system cleaner) on the LiveCD´s? Is any free space on the LiveCD´s?

[opensuse-factory] Status: distribution
by Stephan Kulow 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi, M7 is approaching and it looks good so far. As discussed I reverted the patterns back to sysvinit and !tmpwatch yesterday. Part of the 11.3 branding is in the distribution, but it's not yet complete.

[opensuse-factory] Fwd: Best installation choice for a new Intel DH55HC MB?
by Greg Freemyer 18 May '10

18 May '10

All, I have a new 64-bit Intel MB (DH55HC) and the OS 11.1 DVD is failing to install. I'm trying with a USB-based DVD drive and the install sequence is failing to see the repo on the DVD. I want to try either 11.2 or Milestone 6. I don't have a 64-bit DVD downloaded for either. Should both work with this MB? If so, I'll download a 64-bit version or 11.2, but if this MB is too new, I'll try M6.

[opensuse-factory] SaX2: Dead or alive ?
by Stefan Dirsch 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hi I'm wondering whether our openSUSE community is interested into using and therefore fixing sax2. Currently there are two open issues. Both are kind of fatal and make the program more or less useless, especially the first one. #596454 - SaX2 fails to write xorg.conf/aborts when starting test #596470 - 'sax2 -a' never terminates In case nobody of our openSUSE community is interested into addressing that issue I'm afraid SaX2 needs to die already with openSUSE 11.3. Deadline for a fix would be the deadline for Milestone 7, i.e. about Sun May 16. And please remember the future development of SaX2 has already been discussed. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2009-12/msg00017.html So this doesn't necessarily need to be done again. ;-) Best regards, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

Now that the countdown for 11.3 has begun[1], I needed something that my counter button could link to, so I've begun work on the product highlights page for 11.3[2]. Please add stuff there if you're aware of "product highlights" in 11.3, that I have not already mentioned there.

[opensuse-factory] repositories for debug packages
by Stefan Quandt 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, every here and then I run into the following: 1) KDE app crashes 2) Famous crash manager pops up and offers installation of missing debug symbols 3) Installation of missing debug symbols fails 4) crash manager offers certain links for info about debug repositories but it turns out there is no such info. 5) user frustrated while devs keep believing their barely tested applications are fairly usable How do I get proper debug debug packages on a factory installation? Why does the crash manager not find them? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Factory install report
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hello, I am planning to run regular (e.g. daily to weekly) semi-automatic tests of current factory .isos to increase installability/testability of those and milestone releases for testers, thus increasing overall quality. Todays score is poor. Out of 5 tested .isos only the i586-NET got past the install stage and even then hung during the printer configuration phase, so 0.5/5 would be a fair total. I run this on KVM with a self-made perl script generating keyboard-input and capturing pictures (currently 2/sec). As a nice side-effect, there can now be seen compact ogg-theora-videos of the current boot/install having 6x speed at http://www3.zq1.de/bernhard/mirror/opensuse/video/ You might also notice the predicted remaining time on the NET-install to jump up and down. Also the "Loading Installation System" part of the NET-boot is suspiciously long at 100%... and does not have a size given. If you are interested in those scripts, you can get them from http://www3.zq1.de/bernhard/git/autoinst/ but they are nowhere near perfect, yet. have a lot of fun -- Bernhard M.
