new beta1 version
by Chema Ollés 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hi all: I see this another time with other alpha version. beta1 version will appear on Jan 19 but if I download now Jan 6 suse-release-oss-10.0.42-9.i586.rpm from http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse... I can see this: SUSE LINUX 10.0.42 (i586) OSS Beta1 Is possible that it does not have importance but bothers that differences of dates...

Udev rules
by Juan Erbes 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

I could'nt configure any usb device, because yast do'nt detect it, because not loads any usb module (for example, the usb printer). I have updated the system via apt, and have the kernel from the date 29/12/05, but the yast modules are not completely updated. For configure the sound, I must run alsaconf, and later the yast, and restarting the kde, and then the sound works; but if I restart completelly the system the sound do'nt works, because not loads any sound module, and the sound devices has disappeared. I mean that the problem, is that yast do'nt writes the udev rules. Can You tell me how it works? Thanks, Juan

Hello, boot.ppc.iso does not seem to be useable. It does not contain a bootable kernel :( Any timeframe, when it will be fixed? I wanted to test it this year... Bye, CzP

boot problems
by Peter Czanik 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Hello, I downloaded opensuse factory yesterday (dec. 27.) for i386 and ppc. First of all: I could not find a bootable kernel image on the PPC boot disk (boot.ppc.iso), so PPC testing is postponed until I can start installation... And my problems on x86 (a Compaq nx8220 notebook): - there was an unsolved dependency, that 'alsa-tools' needs 'alsa-firmware 1.0.10'. Later I saw, that it was actually installed :) - and a show stopping bug (for me): the installed grub does not work on my machine: when I choose 'windows' from the menu, it reboots, when I choose any of the Linux menu entries, it just freezes, and nothing happens (the wonderfull christmas tree remains on screen). So, I put back 10.0... Bye, CzP

Network card is :Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) LAN subsystem using the Marvell* Yukon* 88E8050 PCI Express* Gigabit Ethernet Controller The sysKonnect driver is supposed to work with it, but no joy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Daryl

Problem starting KDE after upgrade from alpha 3 to alpha 4
by David Bolt 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

First the problem: After finishing the upgrade from 10.1 alpha 3 to alpha 4 I tried to use the graphical log-in to my user account. This initially resulted in an alert box with the warning that it couldn't start kstartupconfig. Pressing "Okay" resulted in a second alert box stating that kdeinit couldn't be started. After pressing "Okay" on this box resulted in being returned to the log-in screen. The solution/workaround: I logged in using fvwm as the window manager instead of KDE, logged back out, swapped back to KDE and logged back in again. Not sure what this reset, and a look at the available log files doesn't appear to show anything, but this sequence worked.

iomega REV drive
by Clay Jackson 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

So - I've got an iomega REV (35Gb removable hard disk) drive, and am trying to use MicroLite's BackupEdge software. 9.2 and earlier worked fine - with SuSe Professional 9.3 it broke, and it's still broken with 10.0 The issue seems to be related to blocking. It WRITES just fine (returns no errors) for any size files, and it will READ small files just fine, but when I try to back up a whole directory, it returns a bunch of errors - edge says "Directory not in proper format"; but there's nothing in /var/log/messages or anywhere else that I can find. Has anyone else seen this? Has anyone else got a REV working with 10.x Thanks in advance! Clay Jackson
