[opensuse-factory] no sound with kernel3.9rc2
by Alin M Elena 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Dear All, I hope the celebration for 12.3 release is over and you are ready to roll the factory. I was playing with kernel 3.9.rc2 form KH and I had the unpleasant surprise to find myself without sound... With 3.8.2 kernel and prior everything is ok. I have pasted links to the alsa-info.sh outputs and attached the kernel log for both cases. no sound http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=75737f80ac2a65b7b3e0a39e7cb1330335c72def works http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=9b80d10ef648afb39e9d87a2c57fd8d112b138b7 regards, Alin -- Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Alin Marin ELENA Advanced Molecular Simulation Research Laboratory School of Physics, University College Dublin ---- Ardionsamblú Móilíneach Saotharlann Taighde Scoil na Fisice, An Coláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://alin.elenaworld.net ______________________________________________________________________

[opensuse-factory] Kernel panic and no adsl with 12.3
by Juan Erbes 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Today I installed the 12.3 final version, after 2 days of downloading the iso. The first impresion was good, compared with 12.2, at least the installer selected the right system partition, because I hatte in a partition 12.2 and in other 12.1, and it selected the 12.1 partitio to format and install on it. The Grub installer and the first boot worked fine, but the problem apeared in the automatic configuration, because at 85% I got a kernel panic, and any time I rebboted and go to the automatic configuration receibed the kernel panic. The only way to get the system aup, was cancelling the the automatic configuration. The other problem, is with Yast and the adsl module, it requested to install the smpppd package, and it was installed from the dvd, but do'nt find a way to get the adsl device up, to connect to internet. I'm using now the 12.2 version They are a 2 years old bug about this problem, and never resolved for the first install, because one must try to install some packages experimenting with some times with a package from the before version of the distribution, until get the adsl connection up: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=721872 I attached the /var/log/warn file Thanks, Juan -- USA LINUX OPENSUSE QUE ES SOFTWARE LIBRE, NO NECESITAS PIRATEAR NADA Y NI TE VAS A PREOCUPAR MAS POR LOS VIRUS Y SPYWARES: http://www.opensuse.org/es/ Puedes visitar mi blog en: http://jerbes.blogspot.com.ar/

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 12.3 A Fine Release!
by Trent Hawkins 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Well SUSE team you've done a stirling effort with 12.3! Just booted up RC2 to find that my bug in Beta and RC1 where incorrect power stats where provided has been squashed - https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804197 linux@linux:~> acpi -V Battery 0: Discharging, 65%, 01:57:34 remaining Battery 0: design capacity 5600 mAh, last full capacity 5055 mAh = 90% Adapter 0: off-line Thermal 0: ok, 51.5 degrees C Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 99.0 degrees C Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 3 Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 3 Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 3 Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 3 Cooling 4: LCD 6 of 15 Cooling 5: LCD 6 of 15 Now the only persistent bug is in vgaswitcheroo, which seems to be confined to the 3.7.xxx kernel series. I have updated my openSUSE 12.2 Tumbleweed install to 3.8 Kernel Desktop and found that vgaswitcheroo now successfully switches off my discrete AMD GPU. If switcheroo was working correctly i would expect the above command to provide a battery time estimate of > 5 hours. I'm not suggesting this is a problem that needs to be dealt with, this will be resolved on the next Kernel update. A few other comments: 1. I noticed that the boot time of the KDE Live image was fast! 2. I like the artwork, although have to get used to dark theme. 3. The KDE live image has a great selection of applications, including Libreoffice and Digikam. I won't need to download the full DVD now.

[opensuse-factory] Heads-up: uaccess/ACLs broken (no sound, no bluetooth....)
by Stefan Seyfried 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi, as a heads up: factory seems to have problems with the uaccess-tag in undev-rules adding ACLs to devices for the logged in users. In my case, bluetooth-applet was not showing up (no permission on /dev/rfkill) and sound did not work (only dummy output in pavucontrol available). https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809918 The quick "fix" for me was (as root, after logging in) chown seife /dev/rfkill /dev/snd/* have fun, seife -- Stefan Seyfried "If your lighter runs out of fluid or flint and stops making fire, and you can't be bothered to figure out about lighter fluid or flint, that is not Zippo's fault." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Google calendar not functioning under OS 12.3-GM
by Thomas Taylor 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

I finished installing OS 12.3-GM yesterday and find that the Google calendar is not being displayed, just a blank screen. The display was working under OS 12.3-RC2 and previous. The other categories under Google appear to be displayed correctly. When I reboot to windblows the calendar is displayed but not like it was a couple of days ago. I'm wondering if Google made ANOTHER change (improvement??) to their calendar or if there was a change from OS 12.3-RC2 to OS 12.3-GM? I'm using the same Nvidia Linux driver that I had previously (310.40) so that's not the problem.

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed
by Basil Chupin 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

I want to install and try out Tumbleweed. I finally found a reference on the 'net to Tumbleweed which pointed to http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed I started to read this but after several seconds wondered if what was written there is latest - afterall it talks about oS 12.1, with 12.3 "just around the corner". Is there a more uptodate info on how to install Tumbleweed? (I guess that I am correct to assume that one first installs a stock-standard version of oS and then 'massages' it to do a 'dup --from....' to get Tumbleweed?)

[opensuse-factory] "does not contain desired medium" with tumbleweed update
by Andi Kleen 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi, I'm trying to "dup" a Tumbleweed system to the latest and greatest. But always get now (even after refreshing repositories) Retrieving package branding-openSUSE-12.2-11.6.15.noarch (1/496), 10.0 KiB ( 2.0 KiB unpacked) Media source 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/oss/' does not contain the desired medium similar for other packages. I presume it still looks for 12.2, but 12.3 is already there? Is there a workaround?

Hi, This mail to discuss submitting python-pika (devel project is devel:languages:python) to Factory. python-pika is the most famous python package to develop AMQP client applications and thought as of python-client library for RabbitMQ. rabbitmq-server is already a part of Factory. This way submitting of python- pika may be considered as improvement of support of AMQP in openSUSE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
