[opensuse-factory] Widgets broken?
by Chris Arnold 19 Jul '08

19 Jul '08

11.0 with kde 4.1 x86 64. Are the desktop widgets broken now with the latest updates from 4.1 repo? I had widgets on the desktop-did an update, widgets gone and when adding them my whole screen goes black and the only way to get it back is log off and then back on. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] network detection in linuxrc
by Peter Czanik 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

Hello, How does linuxrc detect the network card? As I ran into the problem, that there is a working Ethernet connection (even the kernel is downloaded by tftp), but linuxrc says: " *** No network device found. Load a network module first. " It is a custom built kernel for a not yet supported PPC board, and Ethernet works fine: [ 91.910110] eth0: fs_enet: 00:1e:59:7a:da:d1 [ 91.915144] FEC MII Bus: probed For example I can nfs mount a / partition (tested with 10.3 rescue system exported on NFS). Using a compiled in Ethernet driver worked fine for another board ( http://en.opensuse.org/MPC8610 ).

[opensuse-factory] debug and shell consoles during installation
by Peter Czanik 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hello, Is it a bug or a feature, that debug and shell consoled disappeared from the factory installer? There are no more shells started, and there is no debug output on F3 and F4. Right now I just see, that 'repo not found' (or something similar) in Linuxrc on F1, and can't check the real problem on the debug screens...

[opensuse-factory] PXE Boot 11.0 GM impossible?
by Andreas Vetter 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Has anybody tried to PXE boot using the kernel and initrd from 11.0 (OSS or box is the same)? My R50p (32bit) cannot boot. It loads the kernel-image and then freezes before fetching initrd. My Opterons (64bit) load the kernel image and then show funny garbled colored characters on the screen. Also frozen. This still works with 10.3 and worked with 11.0 Beta 3. We had that problem already in 10.0 (bug # 120877) and I think it had to do with some ACPI table at the end of the image. Any ideas? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Andreas Jaeger 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Coolo is on vacation this week and the next, so I'll try to help out a bit. I'm currently trying to get an internal Alpha0 out of the door. Basically this means getting all packages building again after some major changes like KDE update to 4.1 beta, GNOME updates, YaST changes and changes to libraries that broke other packages - which in the end lead to a inconsistent factory version. I hope to get this fixed today but with the build service down, it might take until next week. Other than that: I just announced the openSUSE 11.1 roadmap...

[opensuse-factory] modules gobble disk space with built kernel
by Felix Miata 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

/lib/modules/(stock2.6.21kernel)# du -s 60804 . /lib/modules/(my2.6.21kernel)# du -s 538292 . That's a 785% increase in space consumed by my modules over stock modules. Does that happen for anyone building their own Factory kernel? Can a more normal space consumption be made to happen by a mere mortal kernel building novice like myself? What I did was: 1-apply the patch from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7513 2-zcat /proc/config.gz > .config 3-make menuconfig to add smbfs and change the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION 4-make 5-make modules_install 6-INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install 7-fix the resulting broken /boot/grub/menu.lst -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] Kontact crash/timesout
by Chris Arnold 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

I use opensuse 11 x86_64 with kontact Version 1.3 from the opensuse 11 repo. Kontact use to work without this problem but since my workstation ip changed, i get a constant error: connection to the server <servername> was unexpectedly closed or timed out. It will be established automatically if possible" And in fact, some times it does get re-established but other times, kontact crashes. Some things i have done to try to fix this: -tried just kmail->same problem -delete existing account and recreated the email account->same problem -other email clients work fine -updated kontact from the opensuse repo->same problem -uninstall kontact/kmail and its dependencies. then delete all kmail/kontact folders. Reinstall kmail/kontact->same problem -reformat hdd and reinstall opensuse 11 with kontact->same problem So, i would like to now know where to look on the workstation for kontact error logs? /var/log/messages (i don't see anything in there)? I have also looked into the mail server logs for errors and found some java errors that happen around the same time of the error on the workstation. I restarted the mail server services and do not get that java error but still get the error on the workstation/kontact. I use zimbra 5.0.4 OSS as a mail server. I have asked over at their forums and they don't have an answer either. Is there anyone here who can help me find out how to fix this error? I really want to use kontact. Here is the backtrace of the crash when i get that message and click "OK": Application: Kontact (kontact), signal SIGSEGV [?1034h(no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) {same as above} [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0x7f80f7d6f700 (LWP 12050)] (no debugging symbols found) {same as above} [KCrash handler] #5 0x00007f80f2610fd1 in QMutex::lock () from /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4 #6 0x00007f80f26e6b5e in QCoreApplication::postEvent () from /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4 #7 0x00007f80dff6e782 in ??
