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'?)

It worked fine with factory boot.ppc.iso from Wednesday. Part of dmesg from a 10.0 kernel: "serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A " Booting failed just after the "Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled". I tested SuSE 10.1 beta1 mini bood CD, the latest factory boot.ppc.iso and SLES 10 CD1 as well. Where should I report it? A "SuSE linux 10.1" and/or as a "SLES 10" bug?

installing beta 1 with ATI fglrx driver
by Robert Schiele 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

Hi everybody, if you wanted to install the ATI proprietary fglrx driver on a 10.1 beta 1 system you will have the problem that some files from the fglrx package are linked to an expat library version that is no longer shipped with beta 1. If you still want to use the fglrx driver with beta 1 you can install the package http://pi3.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/~schiele/beta1/expat-compat-0-0.i586.… as a workaround. If you need the same package for a 64 bit system, drop me a note and I might consider to build one as well.

Apache not running.. 10.1 beta1
by Anders Norrbring 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

I've made a standard Apache installation with the example pages, and try to access it.. No luck, I get an empty page and this in the error_log [Sun Jan 22 16:09:12 2006] [notice] Apache/2.2.0 (Linux/SUSE) configured -- resuming normal operations [Sun Jan 22 16:09:25 2006] [notice] child pid 7440 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) This was WITH the PHP5 enabled. If I disable the php5 module, it shows the server root index.html page without problems. Ideas? -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

Beta1-mini.iso not working
by Rauch Christian 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi List, i downloaded 10.1 Beta1 today and tried to install using a 10.0 Installation Server and using SUSE-10.1-CD-OSS-i386-Beta1-mini.iso for install. I triplechecked this iso, so md5sum is correct, and it gets burned correct(K3B Checks succeeds), but i can not boot with this CD. Can anyone tell me, whats wrong? Is this one not to be used for, what the old boot.iso (e.g. in 10.0 inst-source/boot) was for? Or is there something wrong with my system or the iso? btw. size of this iso comes quite small to me, only 37 mb instead of 64 mb for 10.0.
