Maybe it is an idea to fix the announcement at the web also :D. Some links do link to SUSE-Linux and some only to SUSE.... http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-announce/2006-Mar/0002.html Azerion

internet installation of Beta5 madness...
by Benjy Grogan 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I was not successful at installing beta5 over the internet. I'll try again on March 3rd with beta6 but here are the problems I experienced with beta5: (1) Every time the boot disk booted up for i386, which is my system, I would get a message saying "Installation system does not match your boot medium. It may make your bug reports worthless" I have no idea what this meant, but hopefully the following is still useful... (2) figuring out which installation repository to point YaST to. I tried a) 204.152.191.7 (mirrors.kernel.org) /opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ here I got software dependency problems, read as "Cannot solve dependencies automatically. Manual intervention is required" followed up by "This would invalidate OpenOffice_org-2.0.2_4.i586[http://204.152.191.7/open..." when I tried to select a few packages. so I gave up on this repository and went on to ... b) 66.184.207.32 (ftp.ale.org) /pub/mirrors/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source here I got no software packages at all. It could not find any packages on the installation repository or something along those lines. c) 195.135.221.130 (download.opensuse.org) /distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source here I got the message "network error 403" and never got to the installation screen that I experienced with the above two repositories. This repository was a dud. (3) At one point, randomnly, when booting up the boot disk I got a X-mas Santa penguin screen... Out of the blue. Penguins were skating and moving all over. I was so shocked that the timer ran out and the system went back to booting the regular OS. (4) I'm starting to wonder if the internet installation repositories are working at all? Is this my problem to begin with? Either way, I'm willing to try beta6 when it comes out but if there is something fundamental I'm doing wrong with the internet installation then let me know. Benji

Monitor choice no longer available
by Chad Groneman 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi, Up until around 10.1 beta4, my monitor was always auto-detected and showed exactly what it was. With beta4 and beyond, it doesn't detect it anymore, because it's not in the list of available monitors anymore. It just shows it as a vesa monitor. It looks the same, but I like the warm fuzzies when it knows exactly what my monitor is. I was wondering if there was a reason this change, such as being non-GPL or something. It's an NEC MultiSync LCD 1735NXM. Thanks, Chad

Hardware database (Would be very useful)
by Joop Boonen 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

All, Especially SuSE people, I forgot to ask something at the FOSDEM. I notice when i have a bug. That you (understandably) don't have the same hardware in the house. So i was wondering if it might be interresting to have a database with all hardware of all beta testers in it. So you can ask an other beta tester to do a test. I have currently a bug that most likely looks like a kernel bug. But I'm not 100% sure. Therefor it would be great if there would be someone around who could do the same test(s). Regards, Joop Boonen.
