Hi, I just learned, that susewatcher has been dropped for 10.1 (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=85780) Is there a replacement? -- Andreas Vetter Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg

Strange problem
by Kevin R. Garand 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hello All, I installed OpenSuSe 10.1 beta with all the updates on a Dell Optiplex, with Windows XP on the first partition. Basically Windows was installed first, and then on the free space Open SuSE was installed. Now during reboot, I get just the Dell POST screen, it goes black, and then the Dell POST screen again, and this would go on forever if I let it. I know it hardly seems like an SuSe problem because it is barely getting to the boot process. I apologize in advance if this isn't the proper procedure for this type of thing, but I do not know how to create a bug report (if it is) and I am looking for help. Thank you in advance as well. BIOS has been put back to hard drive as first device as I booted from CD-ROM to install. Again, many apologies if needed as well as many thanks for any advice. AceMan

Re: [opensuse-factory] Major libSDL performance problems on SuSE 10.1 Beta1 x86-64

Please test the updated RPM >that I announced, No, unfortunately not. Installing the new fontconfig didn't help. To demonstrate and reproduce the problem, I've made the attached test program (build instructions included). It just makes simple screen updates for 20 seconds without drawing anything. Debian unstable, X.org 6.9.0 with radeon driver, SDL 1.2.9, x86-64: 230 fps SuSE 10.1 beta 1, X.org 6.9.0-9 with radeon driver, SDL 1.2.9, x86-64: 2 fps !!! So 2 fps is the upper limit that _any_ SDL-based 2D-applications will reach on SuSE 10.1. And most games and emulators included in SuSE are based on SDL. I suggest to get some more results from different installations to see if this problem is specific to my setup or common. Regards, Martin Bickel /* prerequisite packages: SDL SDL-dev to compile: g++ -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -c testfps.cpp g++ -o testfps testfps.o -lm -lSDL -lpthread */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include "SDL.h" int main() { /* Initialize SDL */ if ( SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0 ) { fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't initialize SDL: %s\n",SDL_GetError()); exit(1); } atexit(SDL_Quit); int video_bpp; const SDL_VideoInfo *info = SDL_GetVideoInfo(); if ( info->vfmt->BitsPerPixel > 8 ) { video_bpp = info->vfmt->BitsPerPixel; } else { video_bpp = 16; fprintf(stderr, "forced 16 bpp mode\n"); } SDL_Surface *screen; if ( (screen=SDL_SetVideoMode(1000,700,video_bpp,SDL_SWSURFACE)) == NULL ) { fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't set video mode: %s\n", SDL_GetError()); exit(2); } int time = 20; Uint32 ticks1 = SDL_GetTicks(); Uint32 ticks2; int frames = 0; do { SDL_UpdateRect(screen, 0, 0, 0, 0); ++frames; ticks2 = SDL_GetTicks(); } while ( ticks2 - ticks1 < time * 1000 ); printf("%d fps\n", frames / time ); return(0); }

Beta2: install on LVM impossible
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hi, just filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=145928 because installing on LVM will not work. If you really need that, run "vgchange -a y" on a commandline directly before clicking on "OK" for installation. However, if your / is on LVM and /boot is not, the install will fail at the bootloader stage because /boot is mounted before / and thus is invisible after mounting / . Don't worry, this will probably be fixed soon. Regards, Carl-Daniel -- http://www.hailfinger.org/

Major libSDL performance problems on SuSE 10.1 Beta1 x86-64
by Martin Bickel 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

Hello, I've encountered an extremely degraded performance for all SDL based applications / games on 10.1 Beta1. Drawing the application window is so slow that one can watch it being drawn from top to bottom. An game where this can be observed are for example Battle for Wesnoth. Just start the game and observe the title screen: it takes perhaps 0.1 - 0.2 seconds to be drawn instead of being there instantaneously. But all other SDL based games behave the same, even the sample-applications of SDL itself. Can others confirm this behaviour? I'm running the supplied radeon-driver on an ATI RV350 (Radeon 9600). Does this happen with other platforms / graphics drivers too ? This doesn't occur on my Debian system, which also uses X.Org 6.9.0 with Radeon-driver on x86-64, so it's somehow SuSE related. Regards, Martin

KDE blootooth depencies
by Christian Boltz 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hello, with an older SUSE version, I had problems using bluetooth:/ in Konqueror - it found a friend's mobile phone, but showed only an empty file list for it. It turned out that the backend applications (obexftp etc. - just search for bluetooth in YaST sw_single) were not installed - but there was no warning in Konqueror and no package depency that installed the required packages automatically. Unfortunately, I don't have a bluetooth device to do tests and therefore can't test if this problem is still existent in 10.1 beta. Can someone test it, please? Here's how to reproduce: - uninstall all bluetooth-related packages (search for "bluetooth" in Yast), except the kdebluetooth package, and do not break depencies, of course - enter bluetooth:/ in Konqueror, connect to a device that offers files to download - check if any of the files are displayed in Konquerors file listing If you get an empty list without any error message, the bug is still there. Just tell me and I'll enter a bug report. Regards, Christian Boltz -- Meine sigg macht Urlaub bis Donnerstag. [WoKo in dag°]

nfsv4 README.SUSE
by Marcel Volz 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

I had to do several steps to use nfsv4 in SUSE. There is not much documentation around nfsv4 at the time. Maybe it could be helpful to write a README.SUSE so that more people could use/test nfsv4. Comments welcome! 1. First set up some principal and made a keytab (/etc/krb5.keytab) for the server and client host/<FQDN> and nfs/<FQDN> (des-cbc-crc:normal only) 2. Activated nfs4 and gss in /etc/sysconfig/nfs 3. Had to make a missing directoy:.mkdir /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs (BUG?!) 4. Edited /etc/exports: added /home gss/krb5 (rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check) 5. Then I had to load some modules modprobe auth_rpcgss rpcsec_gss_krb5 . Also added this to MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT to the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel 6. ln -s /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so or edit /etc/gssapi_mech.conf 8. Changed localhost to my domain name in /etc/idmap.conf 9. Started all needed Daemons nfsserver, idmap, svcgssd at the server and idmap and gssd at the client 10. Mounted the Partition: mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 beta:/ /nfs/beta/ -- Greetings/Grüße, Marcel
