Having Ogre packaged helps a lot (I've used it), but, really, if no game in the distribution uses it, it only serves as a devel aid. Hence, I think its best place, until an app really depends on it, is where it is, games. ogre-tools, however, is another matter. Ogre comes with tons of tools that are very useful for content creators. Those could be packaged and put in Factory, I believe. Since they depend on libOgreMain, then Ogre also has to be in Factory. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Warning: GNOME broken in Factory
by Vincent Untz 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hi, Since I just got 3 people reporting the issue on IRC, let me warn everyone here: GNOME is broken in Factory right now. It's because of the telepathy-glib version we have in Factory has a bad bug. A new telepathy-glib is on its way to Factory (already in G:F, although G:F is not published yet). Avoid libtelepathy-glib0 0.15.6; try to stay with the old version (should work, untested) or get the 0.15.7 version (fixes the issue).

[opensuse-factory] Installing 12.1 Beta
by Johannes Weberhofer 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

I have tried to install the beta version. Unfortunately all I get after the installer copied all the files and tried to reboot: Starting YaSt2 error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (No such file or directory). Therefore installation does not finish and the system does not work at all... I can run the system in an Emergency System, but I'm not able to install grub correctly. The system should be installed at /dev/sda5.

[opensuse-factory] autologin with xfce
by Peter Czanik 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hello, I did a fresh install of factory with XFCE (as I don't like Gnome3...) with autologin enabled. To my greatest surprise, I was logged in to Gnome3. Is it intended or worth a bugreport? Also: is it really necessary to install an almost complete Gnome3 environment when installing XFCE?

[opensuse-factory] Installing the 12.1 beta
by Tim Edwards 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

I've just had a go of installing the 12.1 beta from the KDE Live CD version using a USB stick. The hardware is an Acer Aspire 1551 netbook and I'm installing on to a USB hard drive so as not to disturb the 11.4 installation and Windows on the netbook's hard drive. Here are my questions/problems encountered: 1) I selected English UK at the first install screen. At the installation summary screen I clicked 'Languages' to add German as a secondary language. I was surprised to find that English (US) was already selected as a secondary language and that English (UK) doesn't appear in Secondary Languages, only in the Primary Language selection drop-down. From memory both of these are different to the 11.4 installer and I think a bit inconsistent. 2) The firewall and ssh settings no longer appear in the installation summary screen, is this intentional? 3) Last but definitely not least the system didn't reboot after the initial installation. I selected disable boot of MBR and enable boot from /boot in the Installation Summary screen. It got through all the package installation and prompted me to remove the 'Live CD' (actually USB stick) and reboot, but nothing, no grub menu. The netbook boots fine off the USB stick and of course off the 11.4 install on its hard drive. I mounted the USB hard drive that contains the 12.1 beta install on another machine and all the partitions are there, including what I expect to see in /boot.

[opensuse-factory] efibootmgr not installed?
by Günther J. Niederwimmer 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hello, now with beta 1 the efibootmgr is on the DVD, but why would it be not installed? mkinitrd looks for the efibootmgr by creating the initrd and eliloc.conf (the elilo.conf is total broken in Beta1) and stop the installation! -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards, Günther J.
