[opensuse-factory] Beta 1 experiences
by nordi 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

Hi all! I just wanted to share some experiences with beta 1 and also figure out what is a bug or simply not yet finished ;-) - Although configured for Germany keyboard layout, I had the American keyboard layout while working in the installer. For me this was just annoying in the partitioner, but people with "y" or "z" in their passwords may not be able to log in. I haven't tried that out, but if you cannot log in, now you know why. Is that just part of "translation is not yet finished" or should I file a bug report? - Trying to format / with XFS went well at first, but during package installation the installer stalled. A process called "grub" was taking 99% CPU, if I am not mistaken this happened while grub was being installed so it was probably some pre- or post-install script of the rpm. Installing with ext3 went without problems. Is XFS supposed to work for / or should the partitioner prevent this setting? - The background in the installer looks horrible with its vertical grey stripes. Will that be replaced with some nifty design or is this the final look? - Concerning KDE3 support: Is bug #427692 just an internal joke or is this meant seriously?

[opensuse-factory] Can't a mini of Beta to boot
by Per Jessen 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

I usually use a 40Mb chunk of the iso image to create a mini CD. This has always worked fine. This time however, I can't get the CD to boot. Tried it twice, but no joy. I also noticed that the Beta1 ISO size is some 500Mb smaller the Alpha2? /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Is there a workaround/fix for the error? Perhaps as was pointed out the delta iso is rather small and it seems that it must be missing a lot of updates even though the md5sum checks as correct.

Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution?

[opensuse-factory] Metadiscussion about KDE 4 thread
by Andreas Jaeger 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

Reading Felix-Nicolai's blog post, I'd like to get your input on the following statement from him: I believe that openSUSE is supposed to be a community based and community driven product. While many devs work for Novell and do great work, openSUSE does also depend on its many users. So they should get a hear. It is not OK to only raise this issue on a factory mailinglist - a mailinglist a regular user will never see. * factory was setup as list for future development of the openSUSE distribution. Why is that not working? Where would you expect to have general discussion about the direction of the distribution? * openSUSE is community based and community driven - but we have Novell engineers doing engineering work with limited time and resources. Community means not only discussion but also contribution - and I've heard many requests about KDE3 and KDE4 but so far only saw Carlos stepping up and saying "KDE3 is so important for me that I create a KDE3 LiveCD for openSUSE 11.0". It's good to get input and help with prioritization but how can we get more people working on KDE to maintain KDE3 and to improve KDE4?

[opensuse-factory] alpha2 to beta1 applydeltaiso failure [x86_64]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Lists, I downloaded openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2_Beta1-DVD-x86_64.delta.iso and did % applydeltaiso openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2-DVD-x86_64.iso \ openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2_Beta1-DVD-x86_64.delta.iso \ openSUSE-11.1-Beta1-DVD-x86_64.iso And I got the failure: ... [snip] gnumeric.x86_64 (lzma.2): applying delta gnuplot.x86_64 (lzma.2): applying delta indata read 2813 bytes failed I checked MD5SUM of openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2_Beta1-DVD-x86_64.delta.iso, and it was OK. But I think it suspicious that the size of openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2_Beta1-DVD-x86_64.delta.iso(260M) is too smaller than that of openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2_Beta1-DVD-i386.delta.iso(895M).

[opensuse-factory] How to disable rpmlint check "devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50)"
by Stefan Dirsch 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hi Build of project games, package freedink-data fails due to tons of these error messages E: devel-file-in-non-devel-package (Badness: 50) /usr/share/dink/dink/Story/S3-BOWL.c These are files required during runtime by the game engine, not C sources! How can I disable this rpmlint check? Adding the file rpmlintrc with the following content # This line is mandatory to access the configuration functions from Config import * addFilter("freedink-data devel-file-in-non-devel-package") did not help at all. :-( Best regards, Stefan P.S.: games/freedink-data is a link to games/freedink, so you find the sources to the packages in games/freedink.
