by Josef Reidinger 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hi, I try install new opensuse 11.3 and after installation kernel freeze during loading (after probing some pci slots). Does anyone see such behavior? Do you have idea how to fix it? It happen also when I boot from DVD and try to start rescue system.

[opensuse-factory] loading packages.gz and friends
by Werner LEMBERG 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Folks, loading the various `packages.gz' files and its siblings for many repositories takes a very long time if your internet connection is slow. What about improving that? For example, I could imagine that those files are stored in a kind of git repository, and that yast2 does the equivalent of `git pull', which is extremely fast. Has there been any ideas into this direction? Werner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, Factory has opened up again and already sees tons of broken packages :) I try to line up 11.4 early as I think we need to start discussions around milestones early as there are quite some holidays ahead in our way - so if you have suggestions to make or plain feedback to give, feel free to put it in nice words ;) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Looking for: exim maintainer
by Marcus Meissner 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi, We are currently shipping the "exim" mail transfer agent in openSUSE. As it had a security issue we found that Peter does not currently have the time to do backports for security fixes. While the current issue has been handled by Dirk Mueller, is there someone who wants to take over exim maintainership going onward and wants to provide backports?

[opensuse-factory] 11.3 install - multiple corrupt download (including kernel) - howto rpm -Uvh new kernel on box?
by David C. Rankin 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Guys, Of all days, today I began an 11.3 update on an i586 box. (7.3G in all). Due to the redirector problems, I have had ~100 bad checksum/corrupt packages. Many I could 'retry' and successfully download. The most important, (the kernel), I downloaded 7 times and never was able to get a good package, so I skipped it. I manually downloaded all kernel packages from a mirror and I have copied them to the box where the install is running, but it will not let me install them. I'm working … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Problems with Broadcom BCM4312 on Net/Notebooks

Sorry to drag this issue up again but I have the exact same issue with my hp pavilion dv7-2230sa after install it freezes at the mentioned point during initial reset. I cannot boot at all without failsafe and even then I get random freezing. If I upgrade the kernel to .35 would that fix the problem or cause more dependency problems than it solves? I can run the script to get the firnware but would really like it to just boot first time everytime. Larry is this totally different issue … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] repair cd
by jdd 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Hello :-) As you may know, the rescue system was dropped from 11.3. One of the main reasons I understood was that it was nearly impossible to get in touch with debuggers while following the new distro building I think it's a shame to lose such good product. So may be we could build an openSUSE live repair cd. That said, I would like to have it boot with Grub like http://www.supergrubdisk.org/, because many solution can be found directly from GRUB is that possible? http://susestudio.com/ … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Disk transaction performance - Phoronix benchmarking

Hi all. Phoronix has run distribution comparison [1]. I´m just wondering why disk transaction performance has Ubuntu 10.04 faster than openSUSE 11.3 RC1, when both distros uses an ext4 file system. Does openSUSE have enabled any barriers again, as was in openSUSE 11.1? http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_2010_fiveway&num=1 Thanks. -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- 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 - zypper dup
by madworm_de.novell＠spitzenpfeil.org 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hi, there are still a few pet peeves in 11.3, like compiz not working with nouveau (at least on my system), but I've managed to upgrade 2 machines with 'zypper dup' from 11.2 to 11.3 and it was the _very first time_ I got a satisfactory result without having to do a fresh install. My main PC is a dual boot system with windows XP booting from the first disk. With 11.2 I had to use some grub magic with "map (hd0) (hd1)" etc., but this time it just worked ;-) The 2nd machine is a laptop with an … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Not clean unmount of root LVM filesystem on shutdown

Hi, I've upgraded to the latest factory snapshot and everything seems to work fine except: 1. I noticed twice that the root filesystem isn't cleanly unmounted when the system shuts down. Only the root (system) LVM partition is affected; an error message that might be related is about the file descriptor of /dev/blog leaking. 2. I'm using the radeon open source driver with KMS, and the boot splash screen doesn't appear. Also, the resolution of the system console is too low. Any advice is … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] RFC: removal of heartbeat-* from Factory

Hi Everybody, I've recently updated most of the High Availability packages in network:ha-clustering:Factory to current stable versions (corosync 1.2, openais 1.2, pacemaker 1.1 etc. - previously we had openais 0.80.x and pacemaker 1.0.x, which were really quite old). This leaves the question of what to do with the heartbeat package.

[opensuse-factory] YaST2 module list from command line
by Andrea Turrini 13 Jul '10

Hi all, I have just upgraded my openSUSE 11.2 to 11.3 using online repositories and "zypper dup". Now I have the following problem: if I open a terminal, type (as root) yast2 and push the tab twice to get the list of available yast modules, then the list is incomplete. For instance, the sw_single module is not shown, but it is surely installed since I can use it. Am I missing something? Should I open a bug report?
