VMware-workstation-5.5.1 and SUSE 10.1 B1
by James PEARSON 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hello all I tried (unsucessfully) to compile the vmmon modules using both with VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm and vmware-any-any-update94 using linux 2.6.15-git12-6-default SUSE kernel It errors out. I was wondering if anyone else has been to install VMware-workstation-5.5 on SUSE 10.1 B1? I haven't had much time to research the problem but I did post extracts of the error messages over at the vmware community. Here is the url http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=30803&tstart=0 James

fetchmail 6.3.1
by Aschwin Marsman 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hi, Fetchmail 6.3.1 was released a couple of days ago. I haven't seen a security update for SUSE 10.0 yet and havent found a new src rpm on: http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-sourc… so I can build it myself easily. Any plans? Otherwise I will get the src. Have a pleasent year end, Aschwin Marsman -- aschwin(a)marsman.org http://www.marsman.org

More gtk-sharp packaging changes.
by Wade Berrier 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

More sub packages have been split out. This should have been done the first go around, but better now than later. The following packages have been added: art-sharp2 gnome-vfs-sharp2 gtkhtml-sharp2 rsvg-sharp2 And for gtk-sharp 1.0.10: art-sharp gda-sharp gnomedb-sharp gtkhtml-sharp rsvg-sharp If you're using gtk-sharp-complete or gtk-sharp2-complete in neededforbuild, you won't need any changes (thanks Rudi!).

gtk-qt-engine removed in 10.1?
by jsiebert＠arcor.de 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Hi there! I looked at some screenshots of Suse 10.1b1 at shots.osdir.com and noticed a new option in the KDE control-center in one of the screenshots (http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=565&slide=15) which covers font and style settings of GTK apps in KDE. Is this related to gtk-qt-engine or is this replaced by another GTK/KDE theme engine in 10.1? Greetings Jens Siebert Machen Sie aus 14 Cent spielend bis zu 100 Euro!

Factory and bugzilla
by Anders Norrbring 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Hiya all... I see quite some entries in bugzilla about "resolved" and "commited", but I haven't seen any updates in the factory distribution directories yet. What's the "normal" lead-time from commited fix until it's available for download? Or, are the fixes not posted for public download? -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

Hi, while updating my 10.1a4 to 10.1b1 the installation procedure was very slowly reacting, my mouse pointer jumping every second. This startet right after X came up from installation cd. While starting boot cds of 10.0, 10.1a3 or a4 I never had this problem. Furthermore my font installation seems to be a bit messed up, every font package takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours to get installed. This is bit confusing cause I never installed s.th. by myself, my system has gone all the way through 10.0 -> 10.1a3 -> 10.1a4. Could this be an issue of the newly released Xorg? I'm now 30 hours into installation with 40 packages remaining... I can't imagine many who are patient enough waiting that long (Wouldn't it be possible to have a button 'ignore this package'?)
