[opensuse-factory] New libzypp documentation at http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp
by Martin Vidner 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, Thanks to Martin Kudlvasr we have transferred the documentation for libzypp from an internal site to opensuse.org. I have put the most useful links to http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp, to sections http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp#Catalogs and http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp#Development (There are some unsorted links left in http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Main_page. I hope there are no orphaned pages but if yes, they are all located under Libzypp/ ) Enjoy -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] GDK applications are crashing on Itanium (IA-64)
by Émeric Maschino 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, When clicking on Control center or Preferred applications from the GNOME desktop, I get nothing. Starting control-center and application-browser from a shell displays the following message on the console: Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_display_get_name: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed aborting... Is there anybody out there experiencing the same issue? FYI, the X mode isn't started at boot time although I'm in runlevel 5. I must manually enter /opt/gnome/sbin/gdm as root to start up GDM. Perhaps is there an initialization problem with the display preventing GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display) to succeed? All this with up-to-date openSUSE 10.2 Alpha 4: - gnome-main-menu-0.6.2-4 - control-center2-2.15.92-4 - gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-95 If a bug report report will be appreciated, against which component should I report this problem? Cheers, Émeric

[opensuse-factory] gnome-screensaver doesn't recognize password!
by Émeric Maschino 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, With today's updates, I cannot wake up my GNOME session once the screensaver has been started: the connexion dialog box tells me that my password is incorrect. And I'm sure it's absolutely correct since I log in my GNOME session with the exact same password (obviously).This is with gnome-screensaver-2.15.7-3 on an Itanium workstation (IA-64 architecture). I hadn't this problem with previous gnome-screensaver release (don't remember the version though). Is there anybody out there experiencing the same issue? Cheers, Emeric

[opensuse-factory] Burning the internet install ISO for 10.2 alpha 4
by Keith Goggin 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, I've downloaded and burnt the X86 boot disk for internet install (openSUSE10.2 Alpha 4). The disk verified ok but the boot process hasn't recognised the install media. I've used a re-writable CD does that matter? Thanks for any advise --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE-10.2-Alpha3_Alpha4-x86_64-CD5.delta.iso on ftp.gwdg.de broken ?
by Markus Koßmann 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Noticed that ftp.gwdg.de allready has the openSUSE-10.2-Alpha4 directory open and populated. The openSUSE-10.2-Alpha3_Alpha4-x86_64-CD5.delta.iso has only 8.4 MB, which seemed too small for me. So I downloaded it and checked the md5sum 01237374b19454cfb7f1051229584346 is right according MD5SUMS. But applying the delta to my openSUSE-10.2-Alpha3-x86_64-CD5.iso (MD5SUM f0cd3467a6b1afebdd0c66112a7b2ff2 ) fails with : [...] FreeNX.noarch: verbatim copy free-ttf-fonts.noarch (bzip): applying delta gtkdoc.noarch (bzip): applying delta gtksourceview-sharp2.noarch (bzip): applying delta ikvm.noarch (bzip): applying delta indata read 334 bytes failed So it seems to me, that the upstream of ftp.gwdg.de provides a broken openSUSE-10.2-Alpha3_Alpha4-x86_64-CD5.delta.iso. That should be fixed ASAP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] GNOME 2.16
by Dominique Leuenberger 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

List, I would say quiet good news for our openSUSE 10.2: Gnome 2.16 isofficially released and came out of the beta. When reading the change log, there is a lot of 3D stuff (like wobbling windows, exploding windows) mentioned. After reading all this, there remains the question about the usage of XGL and AIGLX... is there any sense to keep this projects up? - What exactly brings XGL as advantage over the new features of Gnome 2.16 by itself (except the cube for the desktops)? - Will the 3D features of metacity be activated in the openSUSE distribution (as they have to be activated on compile time?)

Re: [opensuse-factory] SuSEconfig clearance: "CLASS-A" scripts

>>> Christoph Thiel <cthiel(a)suse.de> 09/04/06 2:04 PM >>> >Hi there, > I was just thinking for all these SuSEconfig scripts, as the problem is their runtime: Couldn't we remember the 'las-run' of such a script and only run it if the timestamp of the file in /etc/sysconfig is newer than the 'last-run'? This test is imho quiet fast and we could leave most of the scripts. And still remove the one's we don't need anymore.
