[opensuse-factory] RFC - what is the purpose/objective of the 'minimum server selection (text mode)' pattern?
by Per Jessen 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

For background see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=669498 For me, the objective in using the minimum server select is to have a _fast_ installation that is a good general basis for a (usually headless) server. The resulting size of the installed system is largely irrelevant as a server will always have sufficient space. Additional software/services (mysql, cifs, apache, bind, dhcp, cups, whatever) are not included in the selection, those are for the user to chose or add later. The installed system must be generally suitable as a server, i.e. when I ssh to it for maintenance or tracing/debugging, I don't want to be missing anything. (I would not include gdb though).

[opensuse-factory] 12.1 rc1 Slow booting
by Peter Nikolic 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Well thought i would have a look at 12.1 rc1 as it is getting close to release time and no one seems to be bothered with the problems i have with 11.3 . Booting is very slow the 11.3 system i at leats twice as quick, Sound system sometimes yes sometimes no . This on an Compaq Presario v5030 laptop AMD turion 64 1.5Gb Ram ATI graphics (shared memory ) tested on a Tosiba 40Gb drive that i use as a test install drive . The same hardware on 11.3 (all 64 bit systems and software) is as i said twice the speed . Ideas of where to look for info as i cn not sit and watch the boot process by hitting the Esc key as it keeps going back to the graphics screen Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34.10-0.2-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.6.5 (4.6.5) "release 7" 08:04 up 1 day 11:28, 4 users, load average: 0.05, 0.03, 0.00 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Jos Poortvliet 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Heya all, Your marketeers have been working on the product highlights for 12.1 but especially in the more technical area's we are quite prone to making mistakes and missing Cool Stuff(TM). We therefor would like to ask you to spend a bit of your time on reviewing of and adding to our release notes, in draft on ietherpad: http://ietherpad.com/12-1-release-notes This document is meant as an end-user thing as well as for the press, but YOU don't have to write that part. Any braindump or a simple bullet list - even links to blogs are very much appreciated! You don't only have to write about what you maintain, if there's anything you can add, please do so! Let's make 12.1 rock AND let the world notice that :D Thanks a lot, Your marketing team

by Greg Freemyer 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

All, I just upgraded my workstation to 12.1 (really -rc1 I think) via zypper dup last weekendn. I put a CD in my drive, but at least with KDE I'm not able to view it with Dolphin as I'm used to. Is there a trick, or a bug? Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Petr Gajdos 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hi, I would like to ask again, if I can finally remove libpng12 from factory (to not exist in 12.2) in time we might want to slowly go towards libpng15. Thanks for your opinions, Petr

[opensuse-factory] Do we really need delta rpms enabled by default?
by Ilya Chernykh 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

With modern internet connection speeds more time is spent on the application of the diffs than on downloading. Maybe we should disable delta rpms by default? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Since the last update I can't do this anymore: ./some_scri <TAB> result: ./some_script.sh It still works with an absolute path. Is this a new 'feature' ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] blogd going 100% at shutdown?
by Per Jessen 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

I have a Factory system, booting with PXE and root on NFS, which is having trouble shutting down. I get as far as: <notice -- Oct 31 17:47:08.288324000> service network stop Shutting down (localfs) network interfaces: eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Co eth0 serves root filesystem. Leave it up. skipped eth1 device: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Co No configuration found for eth1 Nevertheless the interface will be shut down. doneShutting down service (localfs) network . . . . . . . . .done <notice -- Oct 31 17:47:11.47806000> service network done At this point, the shutdown seems to halt, but via a still-logged-in ssh session I see blogd using 100% CPU. It then takes 5-10 minutes (not sure exactly how long, I haven't timed it), and the system finally reboots. Any suggestions as to where to look for a reason for this? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello all, Why has another non functioning webpin package searcher been included in 12.1? It hasn't been working for the last 2 - 3 versions of openSUSE. -- Cheers!
