[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

[opensuse-factory] help promote openSUSE 12.1!
by Jos Poortvliet 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Heya all, I know you're all busy getting this release out. But if you want to take a break from packaging & coding, maybe - MAYBE you like to spend a bit of time on marketing and promo :D As you might have read on news.opensuse.org we invite you to help out with the promotion of openSUSE 12.1: http://bit.ly/svY0Is There are plenty of ways you can give this new release some extra visibility, be it by tweeting, putting stuff on facebook, your blog or in other places. Moreover, we can use your help with writing the http://ietherpad.com/12-1-release-notes Finally, we'd like to ask for help creating screencasts and video's of openSUSE 12.1. I believe the boosters promised to make a how-to and I've seen some stuff in the opensuse/artwork repository, but even without that I'm sure many of you are still quite able to create a screencast of some cool feature you worked on. We can publish those on our blip.tv account (syndicates to youtube and planet.opensuse.org) and of course they can be referenced and used in our release announcement and articles. Cheers and thanks, your marketing team

[opensuse-factory] Subpixel hinting in poppler
by Ilya Chernykh 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

It seems subpixel hinting does not work in any PDF viewer in openSUSE, even if enabled systemwide. Some people say that it can be enabled in at least Evince by using proper build flags in poppler package. What do you think about it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Greg Freemyer 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

All, In my home project I have built a package against 12.1 (not factory). When I try to install it, it fails because it claims perl 5.14.2 is needed. But I can't find perl 5.14.2 in the 12.1 repo. I'm rather confused. Do I have the right URI for the 12.1 repo? > zypper lr 11 Alias : openSUSE-12.1-OSS Name : openSUSE-12.1-OSS URI : http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.1/repo/oss/ Enabled : Yes Priority : 99 Auto-refresh : On Keep Packages : On Type : yast2 GPG Check : On GPG Key URI : Path Prefix : Parent Service : MD Cache Path : /var/cache/zypp/raw/openSUSE-12.1-OSS 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 Vitaliy Tomin 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

I have installed 12.1 RC1 and trying to test my webapp on it. When I trying to start apache2 with: #rcapache2 start i've gjt message: redirecting to systemctl Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details. however when i run 'systemctl status' as proposed, I've got just: Too few arguments. I suggest that there is an error in my apache configuration, but how I can find what exactly wrong? With old SySV init apache init script just printed error message from apache, how I can get this error message output now? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Let's make 12.1 rock AND let the world notice that :D Thanks a lot, Your marketing team
