installation hangs after partition selection
by Glenn Holmer 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

I've been unable to install either beta 2 or beta 3 (on several machines) because the installer hangs after I select partitions. There have been no comments on the issue page, and I raised it to blocker/P2 after beta 3. Does this relate to other known issues? I'm thinking it may have to do with XFS... https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=146060 -- ====================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ====================================================== "Greater coherence cannot be achieved.

Reiser4 dropped?
by Marcel Hilzinger 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

According to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=140935 reiser4 has been dropped for 10.1. I can understand, that you drop unmaintained code from the kernel, but I can not understand, why you drop new features. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99

Default fond in Konsole

I find it too thin and difficult to read. What's your opinion? Would it be better if the font were bold by default? I have a 17" LCD 1280x1024

Virtual beta testing
by Volker Kuhlmann 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Suppose one has access to a computer resonably well endowed in the CPU and disk departments, running SUSE 10.0. By far most of the beta testing could be done inside something like vmware. However, vmware is out of rea$$ of the average home user. What are the options? Xen, qemu, seperate disk partition to install into, ...? Can someone who has played with Xen, qemu, etc give a quick rundown for this purpose? Given a limited bandwidth which would make it at least 2 days to download all the selected packages, the above ability of doing this in some container running on a standard desktop box in the background would be a prerequisite. This would save having to download all the CDs in advance (and therefore a lot of unused volume). Is it possible to burn the downloaded used packages to DVD to test a non-virtual installation as well? Thanks, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.

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.
