[opensuse-factory] clicking on items below "Disk Info" in sysinfo:/ shows install window on RC2

by Natasha Ament

Hi, I have the feeling that bug #619790 is a little bit more widespread then the info shows. I have installed RC2 on an x86_64 arch and when konqueror (sysinfo:/) opens (just open "My Computer" on KDE4) and I click on any item under "Disk Information", be it root (/) or a mounted ntfs drive it comes up: "There is no application installed that can open files of the block device (inode/blockdevice). Do you want to try to install one? Do not ask again Install No" When accessing the folders in the "Common Folders" section there is no trouble accessing the respective mount points. I am not sure if I am the only one having this problem. If it is in fact more than described in that bugreport, who can change that bug so it reflects more accurately what the problem is. kind regards, Natasha Ament -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

SpiderOak is one of the prominent features for openSUSE 11.3. But I can not find a package in the non-oss repo. Where can I find it?

[opensuse-factory] Fail to install 11.3 RC2 in HP Mini 311

by medwinz

Hello list, I try to install 11.3 RC2 in HP Mini 311, Intel Atom N280, with Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g. Using KDE Live CD, YaST stop at 41%. Try ctrl+alt+f1 to see what happen in the text mode cannot work also. Try to install it from DVD, Installation went ok. But when I reboot it, the boot process stop after loading b43-pci-bridge. I can see it when selecting failsafe in grub. In 11.2, it use broadcom-wl, dmesg give me [ 11.479048] wl 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> Link[AX3A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 11.479075] wl 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 Is there a solution to blacklist b43-pci-bridge and use broadcom-wl for this wlan, or do I miss something here? regards, -- medwinz ======================= http://medwinz.blogsome.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Status: distribution

by Stephan Kulow

Hi, After we rebuilt RC2 from the 11.3 project and fixed a handful of bugs, I see no reason to delay 11.3 GM, so I'll prepare everything for the landing.

[opensuse-factory] factory update

by jdd

As I understand the things, Factory is in sync with the distro at the moment. Is this to stay until past 15 July? I mean is it possible that factory get changed in the next few days? (I know after that there will be some latency before the next distro begin) 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] What is enabled by default in the new kernel in openSUSE 11.3

by Roman Bysh

Hello Listmates, Does anybody have breakdown of what new features, controllers that are enabled and/or provided with the new kernel in openSUSE 11.3? This will also help us help others. We could post it in the FAQs on the new wiki. Any thoughts? Cheers!

I can manage to mount the partition to my 11.2 installation and add: /etc/modprobe.d/50-broadcom-wl-blacklist.conf and the content is blacklist bcm43xx blacklist ssb blacklist b43 blacklist ndiswrapper reboot it and i can continue the installation. I think it might be difficult for non technical user for such kind of workaround, nevertheless it works flawlessly. And also what happen when YaST stop at 41% when trying to install 11.3RC2 from KDE live cd? I still try to find it out. regards, -- medwinz ======================= http://medwinz.blogsome.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

If so, GPT support for data drives should have been in openSUSE for a long while now. (ie. maybe 11.1) and it not working is clearly a bug somewhere along the line. Possibly specific to the drive. As to GPT boot drives, obviously that requires a EFI compliant system. And EFI/GPT booting support I know nothing about. The link you provided describes SLED / SLES installs with elilo as the boot manager, so I doubt it applies to openSUSE. As far as I know openSUSE installs are currently grub 1.x based only, and I'd be surprised if grub 1.x supports EFI/GPT boots. Not sure about grub 2.

[opensuse-factory] A couple probs after a clean install of 11.3 RC2 (build 0694)

by C

I just did a clean install of RC2 (build 0694) on a laptop... reformatted the install partition, and wiped all former openSUSE user accounts and home dirs off the /home partition.... so nothing old should be lurking to get in the way and influence the install. - WiFi - detected my SSID (WPA2), but after entering my password, it could not connect. Log out and log in was necessary to get it to work. - KDE Update Applet - it thinks that the laptop is running on battery. I've unplugged power and KDE pops up the standard notifications that the power has been unplugged, Plug it back in and get the KDE notifications of power being attached. The KDE Update applet is always greyed out and when I click it, it complains that I'm on battery and that it doesn't want to search for or apply updates etc. Otherwise it's working better than RC1. So far the desktop theme isn't crashing all the time like it did in RC1.. that's a good thing :-) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
