[opensuse-factory] Install from NET gone bad
by Thomas Taylor 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hi list, I installed 12.2-ß1 from NET dd'ed to a USB stick. The installation GUI has a problem with selecting some packages (grepmail, ruby-devel, etc.) causing it to drop into ncurses and starting from the beginning. It stays in ncurses until package selection where it goes back into GUI mode until some selection causes it to again drop to ncurses and back at the beginning. This would be a show stopper for new users. Another problem is configuring the boot method. I chose legacy grub, unchecked the separate /home as I use a separate /common data partition softlinked to /home. I also clicked on "other (lower right corner)" and selected merging with existing configuration. That did not find my OS 12.1 installation. During partition selection I left /boot unformatted to maintain my other installs. Boot method was set for boot from /boot, not MBR. After encountering some problems during boot, when I finally got into the user x-windows session and went to check what /boot/grub/menu.lst had in it and found the entire /boot folder empty. After rebooting into OS 12.1 and checking /boot, it still is empty. I also rebooted into a live PartedMagic and it also showed /boot to be empty. /var/log/boot.msg shows sda3 (/boot) being loaded succesfully. Attached are pertinent logs.

[opensuse-factory] Factory install experience
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 installed Factory from DVD and found a many issues fallback mode would only let me select HDD partitions as source, but not /dev/sdc which would be my USB-stick with openSUSE, so I had to reboot to install from USB-stick. after install, "boot from HDD" brought me back into the USB-stick - BIOS-related? in second-stage, yast wanted the USB-stick back, but it was not auto-detected on hot-plugging, so I had to do modprobe usb-storage on tty2 and re-plug the USB-stick another time (udev not working?). in yast repositories the packman URL was still pointing to 12.1, even though they have a lot of software built for Factory. and many known issues were still there... 763142 wrong DEFAULT_WM=kde4, 765519 yast2 -i segfault broken image-install Ciao Bernhard M. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/W1CcACgkQSTYLOx37oWSewgCgwdUc3n4NKDwMKgH/7io5pB7h gPcAoNDirs/hVQBIYI3t/yxDhG+FDw18 =qrbR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Something amiss with zypper up on a kde factory system
by Patrick Shanahan 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Tried to do a "zypper up" and am offered 190 "new" packages which appear mostly gnome. Doesn't see right for my KDE4 system ??? Is the build0409 broken or incomplete? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] zypper in -f behavior
by Felix Miata 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

Last update caused many mkinitrd errors not resolved by manually rerunning mkinitrd, so kernel-desktop-3.4.0-3.1.i686 couldn't find eth0. So I tried: zypper in -f kernel-desktop ... Resolving package dependencies... Problem cannot install both kernel-desktop-3.4.0-3.1.i686 and kernel-desktop-3.4.0-3.1.i686 Solution 1: do not keep kernel-desktop-3.4.0-3.1.i686 installed Solution 2: do not install kernel-desktop-3.4.0-3.1.i686 ... This would seem to be a bug. Anyone agree? I proceeded by choosing #1, got no errors from mkinitrd, and booting from it eth0 works. Menu.lst got a duplicate 3.4.0-3 kernel entry in the process. Another bug (mkinitrd? perl-Bootloader? yast2-bootloader?)? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] Xorg will not load with Opensuse 12.2 beta1
by Juan Erbes 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

The last saturday I installed Opensuse 12.2 beta1 on my pc (Phenom 2 X4 965 mobo Gigabye GM880-USB4, with 4 GB of memory and a ATI Radeon HD 5670, the mobo has a ATI HD4250 graphical chip, disabled on the bios), and is impossible to load Xord with KDE) I got the error: No screens found I tryed to use the propietary fglrx driver, but first it colud'nt compile, and later after aplly 2 patches to the fglrx sources, it compiled, but when I tryed to load the module I got an "undefined symbol" error.. Later I tryed with the kernel 3.3 from the repo factory-tested, and I tryed again with the fglrx driver wthout the parches, and it compiled ok, but when I try to load Xorg, I got a segmentation error. Yesterday, I made a update of the system changing the repos to factory and tryed again wth the open source driver radeon, and I got again the same error of the begining: No screens found What's hsappened with Sax? I do'nt found it on the system. I mean the problem is that the radeon driver do'nt finds the phisical address of the graphic card. How can I configure the phisical address of the graphic card for the radeon driver? I attached the Xorg.0.log Thanks -- USA LINUX OPENSUSE QUE ES SOFTWARE LIBRE, NO NECESITAS PIRATEAR NADA Y TAMPOCO TE VAS A PREOCUPAR MAS POR LOS VIRUS Y SPYWARES: http://www.opensuse.org/es/

[opensuse-factory] Status: Beta
by Stephan Kulow 09 Jun '12

Hi, As we have no real estimate when the build service will be in a working state again, I can't forecast when we will have the first builds to test either. This is something that I did not expect - our servers really do not like 12.2 to be released ;( Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
