by James PEARSON 03 Apr '06

Hello all I just installed SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta9 and I wanted to install and test the apache2 - tomcat5 - mod_jk_ap20 connector combination. I found and installed apache2 and mod_jk_ap20 connector OK but I can't find tomcat5-webapps on the CDs. Is this normal? Can someone tell me where I can download tomcat5-webapps ? TIA James

grub re-install
by jdd 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hello :-) I work hard right now on grub :-). so two subjects: * there is a new flavor of grub, now what one is used on 10.1 (0.9... or 1.9...)? * there is a problem with grub (old flavor, don't know for the new), when the MBR is erased for some reason (windows install, for example), grub don't works anymore. Yast have an option to correct this, but it's very hard to find (under repair) - of course installation yast, given your linux don't boot no more :-(. however it's often possible to boot the linux install, for example with a grub boot disk. but then it's not clear how to fix grub. needs launching yast and founding the option to write back the MBR. could it be possible to write with yast, when writing the initial grub configuration a small script ("grub-mbr"?) to rewrite the mbr without lauching yast? If this could be run from a rescue cd, it would be even better (you know, like "lilo", or chroot /mnt lilo) Mandrake used to have such thing right from the install cd boot menu... thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

[opensuse beta9] Can't add bookmarks to Bookmark toolbar in Konqueror
by James PEARSON 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hello all I can't add bookmarks to the Bookmark toolbar in Konqueror (is this just me?) Normally I select Bookmarks \ Add Bookmark then under Settings \ Toolbars, I make sure the Bookmark Toolbar is selected. When I do this on my beta9 installation I get nothing... I also have a problem with "Save View profile" open in Konqueror. When I add "Bookmark Toolbar", select the save size option, nothing is taken into account. I get the standard default setup when I re open Konqueror :( So is this old age setting in or what? TIA James

Package Management: What am I missing?
by Alexander Antoniades 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

I've been overall very impressed with the quality of the betas, but each time I run into a roadblock on getting ANY new packages. Specifically can someone tell me HOW DO I INSTALL NEW PACKAGES? I've tried rug, zen, and yast but nothing responds or they just hang. Does anything work? Can someone please give me explicit instructions on how to update beta9? Thanks, Sander

setting up factory source with rug
by Philipp Wollermann 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hello, before I report this as a bug, I want to make sure, I configured everything correctly. I tried to switch over to the factory source after I installed Beta9 from scratch. I first tried this with the yast installation source manager but this didn't work. I stepped over a bug I have reported (Bug #162751) and when I finally got the factory source in the list, the yast software management wasn't able to find just a single package. I then emptied the list of installation sources and tried to add it with rug: acer:~ # rug sa --type=yum http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/… factory acer:~ # rug sub factory acer:~ # rug catalogs Sub'd? | Name | Service -------+---------+-------- Yes | factory | factory acer:~ # rug in vte-devel ERROR: Can not find resolvable 'vte-devel' The package vte-devel does exist in this source, I verified it by looking into the primary.xml.gz, the RPM file was also there. It seems my installation source management is completely broken, I can't even delete the factory-source in yast anymore, I click delete and finish but it reappears there everytime I launch yast installation source management ...

add-on ISO for beta 9
by Glenn Holmer 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

I just did an install of beta 9, and I was able to get the installer to recognize the add-on CD (...Addon-BiArch.iso) at the beginning, but he made me swap numerous times between CD 1 and the add-on CD during install. This won't happen in the final version, will it? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "I love virtuosity. I love danger." -Pierre Boulez, 2005
