Hello, Just a quick question, before messing up my system: is factory now equal to beta3, or it's already in a different stage? Bye, -- CzP http://peter.czanik.hu/

ncurses
by Ulrich Windl 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi, I just had read reports on the brokenness of ncurses in SuSE Linux 9.3. Looking it up for 10.0, I found that the ncurses library is 5.4 while 5.5 seems current. I wanted to look it up for 10.1beta, but couldn't find how to find out the included versions from the opensuse.org website. Thomas E. Dickey stated the latest patches are on ftp://invisible- island.net/ncurses/5.5/ Regards, Ulrich

Networkmanager: where is it?
by Prumbaum, Frank 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Hello, after installing a3,a4 and now beta1 I haven't found the new network configuration utility yet. O.K., it seems to be an Desktop Applet visible in KDE systray, but I cannot see it. I have a two monitor (nvidia twinview) configuration. Maybe there is s.th. missing? Strange enough I have one desktop in my mother language german while the other stays in english. Is there a way to start it as an independet application (it won't show up by simply starting the binary)? Now, if I want a network interface restarted, I can't do it via 'ifdown eth1', I have to do rcnetwork stop|start.

Strange problem
by Kevin R. Garand 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hello All, I installed OpenSuSe 10.1 beta with all the updates on a Dell Optiplex, with Windows XP on the first partition. Basically Windows was installed first, and then on the free space Open SuSE was installed. Now during reboot, I get just the Dell POST screen, it goes black, and then the Dell POST screen again, and this would go on forever if I let it. I know it hardly seems like an SuSe problem because it is barely getting to the boot process. I apologize in advance if this isn't the proper procedure for this type of thing, but I do not know how to create a bug report (if it is) and I am looking for help. Thank you in advance as well. BIOS has been put back to hard drive as first device as I booted from CD-ROM to install. Again, many apologies if needed as well as many thanks for any advice. AceMan
