[opensuse-factory] "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" working again
by Freigeist 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

For all those interested in running virtualbox on 12.1 using systemd. The bug addressed here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-10/msg00126.html does seem to be solved. I tested this on five installations: Four installations running different DEs (KDE/GNOME/XFCE/LXDE) and being updated via factory and one installation being 12.1 RC2 KDE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] No HDMI sound with radeon driver, works with AMD proprietary driver
by Tim Edwards 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

If using the default radeon driver I can hook up a HDMI cable to my netbook and have the display show up perfectly on my TV/monitor. But the sound doesn't work, if I use pavucontrol (Pulseaudio) to switch the sound output of an application to HDMI the sound stops working completely. And the progress bar on the sound player (tested in Kaffeine, Audacity and mplayer) starts skipping through the song at 3seconds per second. Using the exact same setup if I have fglrx loaded instead it all works. This worked in 11.4 with the radeon driver, any ideas why there has been the regression?

[opensuse-factory] Banshee bnc#464645
by Nelson Marques 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hi all, First my apologies for using this list to gather some aditional information, but I'm trying to sort/clear all the bug reports regarding Banshee on Bugzilla so I can keep track of new issues in the future and try to improve our Banshee packages through better coordination with upstream. Regarding bnc#464645 [1], anyone knows if this has happened ? Why not (if it didn't happened) ? I also would like to inform that from openSUSE 12.1 onwards Banshee should be state of the art with the distribution providing all the dependencies (with the required versioning). Me and Steven have placed some effort in the Mono part for this to happen. As many might be aware Ubuntu has intentions of dropping Banshee and through the blogsphere some people are already being shelled, one of them is the maintainer of Banshee in Ubuntu, we won't go through the same issue as Banshee is good in openSUSE... planning to keep it this way.

[opensuse-factory] systemd vs consolekit
by Rich Coe 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

I was looking at what was consuming all of memory on my machine, I tripped over console-kit-daemon. According to Lennart at Freedesktop.org, functionality in systemd has replaced ConsoleKit, and it's been deprecated. Do we still need console-kit-daemon running on 12.1 with systemd ???

[opensuse-factory] Minimal server without X installs kernel-desktop
by Vahis 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

I wonder why kernel-default is not chosen. The installation is a VBox machine. Perhaps that's why? I'll try on real HW next.

[opensuse-factory] RC2 KDE LiveUSB doesn't boot
by Tim Edwards 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

The KDE LiveUSB seems to be failing to boot because it can't run fsck on the first partition on my laptop (which is probably the Windows recovery partition): systemd-fsck[1881]: fsck: fsck.unknown: not found systemd-fsck[1881]: fsck: error 2 while executing fsck.unknown for /dev/sda1 It then drops me in systemd's emergency mode. Even then a 'systemctl default' doesn't get anywhere. I've checked the md5sum of the .iso and tried writing it to the USB stick twice. I've tried installing from the RC1 .iso and then upgrading to RC2 and that works fine. So it's just a regression introduced somewhere in the RC2 ISO image.

[opensuse-factory] Status: 12.1
by Stephan Kulow 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hi, I redirect /update/12.1 now to the new maintenance project, so make sure to test a lot :) Additionally I refreshed the factory-snapshot repo to the current state of :12.1, so I suggest to try zypper patch / apper / PackageKit-gnome first and after that try a zypper dup.

[opensuse-factory] It Should just Hit 'Enter' to Shutdown (Power Off) GNOME 3 Computer
by Andi Sugandi 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hi all, Sorry for posting this on Factory list, but we, of course, want to have nice 12.1 release. When I want to shutdown GNOME 3 Computer through menu[0], I think then $Subject , not through clicking the 'Power Off' button by mouse[1]. The user is certainly intended to shutdown computer, so there is no reason for user to hit the 'Enter' on no purpose, because user is consciously want to shut the computer down. So i think the 'Power Off' button should already be activated in the window dialog[1], then the user will be easily to confirm it just to hit the 'Enter' on keyboard, in addition to do it through clicking by mouse. Anyone also see this experience? Is this default GNOME3 experience intended to be like this (the user should click 'Power Off' button by mouse) or unintended issue? Thanks in advance.
