[opensuse-factory] 12.2 start-up: can't read the messages
by lynn 05 Sep '12

Hi 12.2 boot I get light grey text on a bright green background. I can't read what it says. Can we have a darker text. Black for example? Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Dependency faild. Aborted start of Getty on tty1
by Felix Miata 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

All my 12.2 systems lacking installed sysvinit-init do this on whichever tty I'm working on, unless I'm slow to login and it shows up on tty1 because I'm not yet working. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] When are new releases made available?
by Basil Chupin 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

I asked this question not that long ago and someone (?Andreas) provided the answer but, regrettably, I forgot to make a note of it: at what UTC time and day of the week are new releases normally officially made available for downloading? (My original question also asked if the releases came from Germany or Silicon Valley.)

Hello, I just have a quick question: When can I update in php 5.4 within the openSUSE repositories? I can not find any information about the "process" getting updated from php 5.3 to php 5.4. greets, Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 12.2 not suitable to replace soon out of support 11.4
by Felix Miata 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

[I started writing this 28 Aug, got interrupted, and just hadn't been able to find time to come back to it until now.] Things that used for work just fine in 11.4 or prior don't any more. Many of these are attributable to systemd replacement of sysvinit for init. Some can be worked around by booting with sysvinit instead of systemd. Some are old bugs, some of which filed upstream and either not filed in bugzilla.novell.com at all or not until late in 12.2's development cycle. KDM kcm module conflicts with /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager settings https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=267903 Filed 65 months ago. :-( kdmrc should be in /etc instead of /usr https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=651897 This is not the only instance of openSUSE FHS violation and frustrating complication to backup/restore processes. Other distros put it in /etc/kd*. Why doesn't openSUSE? KMS broke traditional framebuffer modes https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675793 This installer bug was filed against 11.4 late, but allowed plenty of time for it to be fixed for 12.1. It's been since unimproved, remaining negative installation polish. Those who need non-default video= have to do it manually, while unneeded vga= modes are just sitting there creating the illusion that they are relevant while video= is not. systemd-init boot puts messages on tty1 after agetty starts https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725913 Fix is known, but bug owner deferred implementing until release.next. Workaround: install non-default init system sysvinit-init back and forward icons missing in 3.6.x https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732670 filed in November but much older. I really don't understand this one, as the same Mozilla.org Firefox binary run on any other distro I've tried not only has them, but they are legible. workaround: none known other than use another distro KBD_NUMLOCK="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard does not work under systemd init https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746595 filed 11 February as a split from https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720486 filed 26 September, over 11 months prior to 12.2 release Progress: works on some systems, works sometimes or not at all on others Workaround: install non-default init system sysvinit-init [systemd][3 on cmdline] X session tty locations not predictable (:1 not always on tty8; :0 not always on tty7) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768788 workaround: install non-default init system sysvinit-init No panning with intel or nouveau https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771521 again late filed against 12.2, but filed upstream as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39949 54 weeks ago, not marked fixed, but patch to fix submitted in April workaround: install ATI video (in most cases probably = none) midnight commander no longer opens in current directory https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=775919 filed only recently, but fixed upstream in a minor version increment prior to version freeze workaround: OBS With systemd booting with 3 on cmdline I always see a message "Dependency failed. Aborted stat of Getty on tty1", but haven't looked for a bug about it. It reminds me which systems are running systemd. Most I install sysvinit-init on because systemd still isn't mature enough to be the default on a "polished" distro release. With all the extra time available to eradicate bugs from 12.2, one would think it would show, but I don't see it. To me it looks only marginally better polished than 12.1, which I consider to be the 2nd worst openSUSE release ever. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Marguerite, I'm testing the infinality fonts (abusing of preload as upstream); do you want me to submit the packages to the project you mentioned in the past?

[opensuse-factory] Remote login problem
by James Knott 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

This problem has been around since 12.1. Is there any chance of getting it fixed? Remote login to a desktop has long been a feature with Unix & Linux. It'd really be nice to have it work again. I have to keep an old system around solely for this function. Here's the latest bug report. There are older ones too. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=776522 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Grub2 (in 12.2)
by Basil Chupin 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

I used Grub2 when I installed 12.2 Bld #167 DVD iso last earlier today. How do I get to see the boot menu to enter "init 3"on the bott command line (used to be hold down SHIFT to do this)? Anyone know, please? (Need to enter init 3 so as to compile the nVidia driver #304.37.)

[opensuse-factory] 12.2 and Quick Launch panel
by Basil Chupin 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Does anyone know, please, why (and the 'fix' for this, if any) in 12.2 with KDE 4.8.4 the order of the icons in the Quick Launch panel never retain their position as I arrange them? In 12.1 this did not happen but it does in 12.2- the stayed put where I positioned them.
