[opensuse-factory] openSUSE and Ubuntu's BulletBroof X
by Alexey Eremenko 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hi All ! I believe everyonw has read that: http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2008091902235NWSW In short: Today openSUSE's X server crashes if the video card gets upgraded. After reboot X doesn't start = reformat and reinstall <- That's what all new users will do. Do we want this reaction? Obviously not. BulletProof is a technology that can detect changed video card, and use VESA driver instead automatically, without the need for using command-line. I would like to see this technology adapted for openSUSE. What do you think of it ? -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Status openSUSE distribution
by Christoph Thiel 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hi everyone, we don't have any Beta1 test builds yet, since we had to trigger a complete rebuild very late in the process -- therefore we are still bootstrapping the distribution and expect first test builds sometime tomorrow. I'll keep you posted on the upcoming Beta1 release! Best, Christoph -- Christoph Thiel, Tech.

[opensuse-factory] Yast improvment ide?
by Birger Kollstrand 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hi, I just want to air an idea regarding Yast. We are using SLES and openSUSE in the company as our main Linux offering.Yast is the keys to why we use those in stead of anything else. But it's no supprise that most of our newcommers have never used Linux before (We are a 90% SW company and still....) Yast is then a very good starting point for them. One thing that is an obstacle is that not all services that Yast can provide are easily visible and this is where my ide comes inn. would it be possible/nice etc. to have an extra tab in the Yast Controll Senter section that reads something like "Uninstalled servers and services". In this sectio would all uninstalled yast options be listed. I think this would greatly help newcommers to find their way around all the possibilities that are present. If there is anyone else who thinks this might be usefull, then I'll add it as an improvement suggestion. cu / birger....

[opensuse-factory] Make sure that CD 1 is in your drive.
by Ben Popatopalous 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

I've burned the 11.1 Beta 1 x86_64 DVD twice. It will boot with Suse graphics and all then after selecting 'Installation' it loads kernel into a text mode installer and gives the error: Make sure that CD 1 is in your drive. I can by using back button get 2 other errors: This is not a openSuse CD-ROM. and: No repositories found. I tried again using k3b. By default it burns DVD's at 4.1x with my DVD writer. I selected the slowest speed it offers 2.4x. When I booted it I got exact same results as before. :~/Documents/openSUSE-11.1-Beta1-DVD-x86_64-iso> md5sum openSUSE-11.1-Beta1-DVD-x86_64.iso d703398fbc34dabffc83b7f471efa847 openSUSE-11.1-Beta1-DVD-x86_64.iso md5sum matches what is found here: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Beta1/iso/delta/MD5SUMS.of.D… I then deleted torrent and data in Azureus and started download again from: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Beta1/iso/torrent/openSUSE-1… which is currently downloading. However it now gives md5sum as: :~/Documents/openSUSE-11.1-Beta1-DVD-x86_64-iso> md5sum openSUSE-11.1-Beta1-DVD-x86_64.iso 9e5efb791eb1736f83a53d4586d3e508 openSUSE-11.1-Beta1-DVD-x86_64.iso Even though: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Beta1/iso/delta/MD5SUMS.of.D… still lists correct md5sum as: 46258d054f334c623169225424826dbb openSUSE-11.1-Beta1-DVD-i386.iso d703398fbc34dabffc83b7f471efa847 openSUSE-11.1-Beta1-DVD-x86_64.iso I'm confused as to why installer didn't work? Am I doing something wrong? Also why md5sum is different? Keeping in mind that it is currently downloading. It is listed as 3.68GB which is a bit smaller than Alpha2 I think. That seems strange also. -- Thanks, ben popatopalous --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Networkmanager doesn't work with wireless ath5k
by Daniel Fuhrmann 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hi, something seems to be wrong with networkmanager in 11.1b. I have an AR 5212/13 wireless card, and with all 11.1Alpha I run it with the kernel ath5k and network manager. First I did an zypper -dup to 11.1b and my wireless network failed. I did a new install with 11.1b DVD and got no connection with wireless network and ath5k and network manager. With ifup it worked. Then i installed 11.0 and upgraded with 11.1b DVD: First the kernel => network worked. Then I updated networkmanager and I got no connection. Can this anybody reproduce? -- Neues Auto? http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=71780305 http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?ts=290937.5&id=beuidujcy3yo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
