[opensuse-factory] command-not-found - usage, and when will be implemented
by Ben Kevan 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

openSUSE Beta 3 (from Factory Repository). I know command-not-found is quite new to suse, but I haven't really heard anything around it. Will it be fully implemented into openSUSE 11.1? I have the package installed, but when I type banshee1 or banshee i just get command not found (I expected it to tell me what package to install.) It may be that I did an upgrade from 11.0 and the required enteries weren't put into my bash.bashrc. So I guess I should ask for the final release, will this be merged into their current bash.bashrc, or will it only work for new people? Also, in the README, shouldn't it recommend people to create and put it in bash.bashrc.local? since that is read from bash.bashrc? Whelp.. I'll add and test it out and see how it is.

[opensuse-factory] When will we get automatic retries on installation downloads?
by Dave Plater 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, after a factory update with quite a few 504 file not found errors, with wireshark running to prove it was due to mirrors not having the file, I have added my bit to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=425035 and voted for it as well. I have seen many complaints about leaving a system to update overnight and waking up in the morning to an http 504 error where if libzypp had automatically retried two or three times then the installation/update would have completed. The above bug is only an enhancement request so it needs your votes but I think libzypp not automatically retrying a few times ( nobody wants to wake up to retry loop due to another problem) should be a bug by now, all it would take is a few extra lines of code before the "file not found" error is reported. Things have come a long way since 11.0 alpha when I had the problem of libzypp retrying the same mirror, now it switches to another mirror on retry, this makes automatic retries possible without problems.

[opensuse-factory] Updating bundle-lang-* packages
by Vincent Untz 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, I'm looking at the bundle-lang packages. I think the list of GNOME packages is not complete for current factory (missing system-config-printer, for example). Would it make sense to generate the list of packages a bit more dynamically instead of having some hardcoded packages.txt file? Also, I was wondering about creating a bundle-lang-gnome-extras bundle for GNOME stuff that is not installed by default but that we still distribute. Any opinion on this?

[opensuse-factory] zypper insists to use dvd-11.1-55.1.i586.pat.gz
by Markus Koßmann 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Trying to run zypper on factory (beta3+) I get : Metadaten von Repository 'factory' abrufen [\]Datei '/suse/setup/descr/dvd-11.1-55.1.i586.pat.gz' nicht auf dem Medium 'http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/factory/repo/oss/' gefunden. Abbrechen, wiederholen, ignorieren? [A/w/i]: The media provides http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/factory/repo/oss/suse/setup/descr/dvd-11.1…, which is a newer version. Is there any workaround to convince zypper to use the newer one ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] eth0 set to activate at boot time by default? - dhcp runs even when eth0 unplugged
by Willem Meens 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi All, Was wondering if others have noticed this too: When booting and also when restarting the network service, openSUSE is trying to get an address for an unplugged Ethernet port - resulting in an unnecessary delay. Turns out the network device defaults to 'activate at boot time' instead of 'on cable connect'. I've noticed this with a clean install of beta2 and beta3. Might be relevant: this is on a Dell Latitude laptop that has a Broadcom (b44) nic. Anyone else having this? note: I've also installed the Xen packages.. could be this sets the nic to always be active? Will check this is related on my next fresh beta4 install.

[opensuse-factory] factory upgrade: zypper dup timeout aborting.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Another problem I have with "zypper dup" is that, not only my adsl is not fast enough, but that it has "coughs": ... Retrieving: efont-unicode-0.4.2-215.9.noarch.rpm [error (1.1 K/s)] Timeout exceed Abort, retry, ignore?

Some months ago we talked about this. The recommendation was to do "zypper - -n dup -l", which doesn't handle timeouts, AFAIK. Has this situation improved, do we have some new switch to handle this? Other recommendations were of the type: while true; do echo y; echo i; echo 1; done | sudo zypper dup but I don't quite like it. I have also tried "autoexpect", but it fails miserably: autoexpect started, file is script.exp The system has no more ptys.

[opensuse-factory] Now KOrn is broken, is there another way to 'clean' the mailserver?
by Oddball 29 Oct '08

Hi, As testing sometimes produces unwanted situations, i keep my mail on the server, to be able to approach it from another box of os, if the testbox fails in some regard.... Every day or two, i have to clean the 800 - 1000 mails from it, when i checked them. Is there another app up to do this? tia for an answer PS. Updating to B3 without any probs wse, using the new yast sources module @system.

[opensuse-factory] zypper dup -> more than 8500 rpmdb2solv zombie processes
by Rolf Offermanns 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi! I did a zypper dup last night on a post beta2 factory installation. > 900M should be downloaded, updated, reinstalled. With every new package I got multiple rpmdb2solv zombie processes in "ps xa". Close to the end of the dup process, it were more that 8500. I am not sure if this is reproducable, so this is just fyi. Now I see another strange thing: After reboot, I typed "zypper dup" again, to see if the "always update whole distribution" bug was gone. I got the following: rolf@linux:~> sudo zypper dup Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Computing distribution upgrade... The following packages are going to be upgraded: kde4-kupdateapplet-zypp yast2-samba-client The following product is going to be downgraded: openSUSE The following NEW package is going to be installed: openSUSE-release The following product is going to change architecture: openSUSE The following packages are going to change vendor: kde4-kupdateapplet-zypp yast2-samba-client The following product is going to change vendor: openSUSE Overall download size: 117.0 K.

After the operation, 296.0 K will be freed. Continue? [YES/no]: n Is this correct? Why does it first install some packages and in the next run remove them again?

[opensuse-factory] y2logs -- Too Big
by Andrew Joakimsen 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I have some bugs filed against YaST2 for various things and of course I am asked to attach y2logs. But for whatever reason my y2logs are ~14Mb and there is a 10Mb limit in bugzilla. I left a comment a few days ago but there is no response. Are y2logs normally > 10Mb? How do I resolve this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
