Re: [opensuse-factory] Should I switch to Btrfs?
by Richard Brown 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

I've had quite a look at btrfs on my machines and I'll some up my results in a (very brief) Pro's/Con's list Pros- Faster in certain circumstances Snapshots and snapper is awesome "It's the future" Cons- Slower in certain circumstances (like every benchmark and every 'real world' test I've tried. Slower boot times, etc) SSD performance seems to be variable depending on your SSD and how you tweak btrfs no fsck / only just introduced - It doesn't 'feel' ready yet I totally understand anyone who goes for btrfs, those pros are pretty nice and shiny new stuff is always fun but for now I've decided to stick with ext4, it's stable, it faster than muck through a goose, and it does everything I need it to do, if not everything I want. >>> Jos Poortvliet 11/14/11 1:30 PM >>> On Wednesday, November 09, 2011 13:38:55 Roger Luedecke wrote: > I'm thinking of switching to Btrfs.

Might be different on a hard drive, but be sure not to come even close to running out of space as btrfs does NOT handle that very well (gets extremely slow). In general I'm not happy with my choice, even the latest kernel in 12.1 does little to alleviate the pain. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] default kernel and the swap
by jdd 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

Hello, I have a pretty annoying problem with 12.1. Looks like a bug. This is with an acer one poulsbo computer. Fresh 12.1 install, from network cd * I can't have the maximum 1366x768 display definition (but only 1024x768) with the desktop kernel, so I installed the default kernel that worked on this respect BUT * with the default kernel the way from kdm login to kde worksplace is extremely long (several minutes). I couls go to a tty and free show that the 2Gb swap is half full, when in desktop kernel it's nearly empty, so may be the problem is excess paging. As I kept the two entries in grup, I can write you here from desktop kernel :-) any idea how I could fix this? never had this problem (none of them) with factory thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] X server crashes with illegal instruction in driver
by Achim Gratz 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

I just upgraded my old box to 12.1 and the X server doesn't start anymore. The nouveau driver catches an illegal instruction exception after loading all the extensions. I found the same bug logged against radeon (Bug #728737), I've opened another one against nouveau (Bug #731545). However, I think this might be related to a build error (wrong architecture?), which is why I'm asking if anybody knows something here... I don't know when I can try to compile Mesa myself on this box (that seems to have helped for the radeon driver).

[opensuse-factory] Apper disaster - Can´t get my beloved 11.4 KpackageKit back
by Kim Leyendecker 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

Howdy all, I updated to 12.1 today and now I have troubles with Adobe flash player and apper. I tried to install flash player, so I downloaded the rpm and tried to install it with apper, which failed (apper crashes, the KDE crash dialog appears.) I also tried to get my old 11.4 KPackageKit back, but I haven´t find a package for that (and even if, I guess Apper won´t install it anyway.) So, does anybody else got the problem? Or even better: Does anyone else has a workaround or a fix for that? Would to be nice to get a reply soon! kind regards & thanks in advance, --kdl -- -o) Kim Leyendecker, openSUSE Community Member /\\ GPG Key: 664265369547B825 | leyendecker(a)opensuse.org _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-factory] Ubuntu has similar themes for GTK2 and GTK3
by Richard Brown 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

However a word of note - the largest concern I think we'll have is ensuring the themes are actually maintained and maintainable - we don't want to end up in a situation where a theme today gets broken tomorrow with no one to fix it.. Also, GTK3 themes are great, but arguably we'll need gnome-shell themes to go along with them, which could be a trickier affair don't let my words of warning stop you though, please go ahead, I just wanted to highlight two issues that immediately sprang to mind >>> Jos Poortvliet 11/18/11 9:29 PM >>> On Friday, November 18, 2011 09:07:43 Ilya Chernykh wrote: > They ported the themes.
