Useable mirror of SL-OSS-edge (post Alpha2) ?
by Hans-Peter Holler 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Hi, ftp.opensuse.org has too many users. I don't expect something else. Directory of http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-edge/inst-source/s… takes 45 minutes to load. No chance to get a single rpm in valueable time frame. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-edge has a timestamp 2005-10-23 05:59 (something new ?) but permissions drwx------. ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-edge (the nearest, I live in Erlangen) is open and fast but outdated.

Alpha2: myComputer opens amarok
by meister＠netz00.com 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Hi, if I click the myComputer icon on the kde-desktop, it opens amarok. If I open a konqueror and enter "media:/" it shows my partitions/disks. In myComputer.desktop is written: URL=media:/ If I create a new icon pointing it to "media:/" it also opens amarok. In kcontrol->KDE components->filetypes I changed the order of apps for media/hdd_(un)mounted to show up Konqueror as the first entry, but this did not help. BTW: all entries in media have amarok as first entry... How to make the myComputer-icon show the partitions/disks in konqueroro rather than opening amarok? -- mdc

by Peter Czanik 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

Hello, I can't find boot.ppc.iso any more. I use rsync to mirror inst-source, and I saw from the logs boot.ppc.iso to disappear. Why? Will be there one? Bye, Peter

by meister＠netz00.com 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

Hi, every time I login to Alpha2 as user (kde), the "Welcome to SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha" shows up. I click "close", but on next login, it is shown again. Anyone else with this problem? How to disable? -- mdc

Hi, Boot from CD1 Choose "Installation" Press ESC ... watch the messages ... no errors Language "Deutsch" Check CD ... ok Accept License Modus: "Neuinstallation" (fresh install) Desktop: KDE Adjusted partition selection (these partitions exists before install started, but yast want's to use the /home partition as new root...so I adjusted it) hda1 ext2 /boot hda2 xfs / hda3 swap hda4 /home Software selection: - conflicts on kdeaddons3-kicker kdeaddons3-konqueror deselected. - select "All of KDE": kdeaddons3-kate -kicker -konqueror -kontact -sound deselected. (formatting hd, installing packages, having a nice cup of tea) Reboot from hd, press ESC, watching the messages, no errors. Please insert CD2,3,4,5 Network configuration: firewall deactivated no nics found (there are two) no DSL, no ISDN, no Modem (ok, I dont have these devices) continue without any changes local (etc/passwd) create user, reuse HOME-dir Release Notes Hardware configuration: - Warning: TV cards can not be checked. - Graphics/Monitor correct detected - Sound: not detected continue without any changes Done.

Alpha2: conflict on package-selection
by meister＠netz00.com 22 Oct '05

22 Oct '05

Hi, I just did a fresh install of Alpha2 on a real machine (laptop Acer Aspire 3022WLMi) and the installer shows unresolvable conflicts on package selection: kdeaddons3 kdeaddons3-kate kdeaddons3-konqueror kdeaddons3-kicker ... YaST did not recognize my RTL8169 nic, alpha1 did. But on boot it is shown. Firewall is disabled (maybe because there was no nic found) wlan BCM4318 is not supported as in alpha1 internal modem (snd-atiixp-sound) not recognized (well it never works, but 10.0 or Alpha1 found the device) YaST says: "Warnung: TV-Karten koennen nicht ueberprueft werden" (Warning: Cannot check for TV cards) The xorg.conf file that was generated by YaST is really funny: Lot's of "vmware" entries and totally unuseable for my ATI X600 PCIE graphics. YaST did not show up the sshd on networkinstall, but it is started. Well, rebooting...without framebuffer (deleted vga=0x317) Graphics did not start. So: Switching to runlevel 3 and trying to configure my graphics via "sax2": sax2 starts, shows the background and a mousecursor and after 10 seconds it dies. Ok, I read the SaX.log...GLX not loaded. I opened xorg.conf...the file is changed! Only "wrong" entry now, the max resolution (800x600), so I changed it to 1280x800. If I run as root "X" an empty xserver starts up and stay. "rckdm restart" chrashes: linux kdm: :0[4882]: Abnormal termination of greeter for display :0, code 125, signal 0 I set DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager rcxdm works, but if I log in as user I end up with an empty desktop and a moveable mouse.In my process list I see: kdeinit Running... dcopserver [kdeinit] --nosid klauncher [kdeinit] kaccess [kdeinit] kwrapper ksmserver ksmserver [kdeinit] kio_file [kdeinit] file .... klipper [kdeinit] suseplugger [kdeinit] -caption knotify [kdeinit] kded kded drkonqi -display :0.0 --appname kded --signal 11 .... The last process (drkonqi) repeats endless, kded chrashes again and again. Next try: wmaker...also chrashes Next try: twm...works Well _this_ seems to be a real "alpha"-version! :-) -- mdc

makeSUSEdvd
by houghi 22 Oct '05

22 Oct '05

I have people complaining makeSUSEdvd does not work with Alpha2. I have not yet tested it and am downloading at this very moment. I asume it is because there is no /boot/loader/isolinux.bin , but instead a /boot/i386/loader/isolinux.bin (or so I have been told) Is this just a temporary thing, or will this be implemented in any future release? If so, will it be called `isolinux.bin` for the next foreseeable future? If so, I could detect it with a `find . isolinux.bin` and addept the script. If not, please elaborate as to where it is going. houghi -- Fourth Law of Thermodynamics: If the probability of success is not almost one, it is damn near zero. -- David Ellis

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all: Now I download delta.isos alpha2 to create cds and after a dvd iso 10.1-alpha2. Normaly I burn the image to dvd but I think that if I can update all the system with yast or apt and mounting dvd image I prefers this last way. Is possible this? How could I do it?
