kernel differences between factory and beta8
by Mauricio Teixeira (netmask) 26 Mar '06

26 Mar '06

After I installed beta8 from CDs, I added factory as install source and tried to install ndiswrapper. The interesting part is that either ndiswrapper-kmp-default and ndiswrapper-kmp-smp can't be installed with the kernel that comes with beta8 (kernel-default-2.6.16_rc6_git1-4), so it asks me to install kernel-default-2.6.16-5). Is this supposed to be that way? AFAIK, "git" is some "unnoficial" kernel. Why did that came with beta8. What will be the officially released kernel? -- % Mauricio Teixeira (netmask) % mteixeira{a}webset{d}net <> Maceio/AL/BR % http://mteixeira.webset.net <> http://pmping.sf.net

Hi, is YaST2 "online update" supposed to work in beta8 or after? It is not showing any source selection screen, and nothing gets found. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke(a)gwdg.de, em(a)kki.org)

YaST becomes a mess with Novell AppArmor
by Azerion 25 Mar '06

25 Mar '06

Hello all, its me again. I made a mind-review of YaST and one thing really bothers me. Why is Novell AppArmor not under Security and placed with THAT name under the root-structure? Is it promotion or something? - The icon does not fit in the list. It is different then all the others, and that does not look nice. - We have 6 icons to do something with a profile. Can't those be bundled under one and ... be placed under Security? - Oops, it is not translated yet..... Can there be a positive points mailinglist. I feel so dark when I can only post here with problems/discussion-material :D Azerion

Conflicts only resolvable one by one?
by Andreas Vetter 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Hi, I just tried to install as many packages as possible and found something very annoying: Conflicts are only shown one at a time. You can not solve several conflicts at a time like before. Should I file a bug or is this intended behaviour? Regards, Andreas -- Andreas Vetter

local update directory ?
by Günther J. Niederwimmer 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Hello, I can't find the place to configure a local update directory ? I have the updates on a server for 9.3 -10.1. In SL10.1 I don't find the correct place to configure the patch directory :(. Is there a FAQ to include a nfs directory for updates ? -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards, Günther J. Niederwimmer

what changed?
by Peter Czanik 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Hello, What changed in factory? I looked at my rsync logs, and found a strange thing. No package was deleted, no version change, but all of them are reloaded from stage. There is nothing in ChangeLog. Any clues? Bye, -- CzP http://peter.czanik.hu/

update configuration
by Peter Czanik 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Hello, I just found a new feature in 'factory' called 'Update Configuration'. Should I already report bugs about it, or it's not yet feature complete... Here are just a few: - 'Details' does not show any details, just the commands generating information - starting a browser on a machine with 256M of RAM takes a lot of time and heavy swapping - it seems to have a color palette problem, colors look ugly depending on the position of the mouse pointer - What does "By registering your product you will gain access to online updates." on the web page means? YOU won't work without registration? There won't be any more mirrors for updates? - 'Please close this window' should be detailed, as there is no 'x' button on the window. A 'Please use File & Quit' would be better'. - I got an error at the end: "An error occurred while connecting to the server." When I clicked details, I got a misleading error message: "this service type requires a network connection, but none is present" An ifconfig shows, that I have a properly configured network connection, I could use that for ssh using names, so DNS is properly configured as well. Bye, CzP

by Juan Erbes 22 Mar '06

DVD drive fails to mount disc with automount/kde. KDE detects when I insert a dvd disc, but in console I have running udevmonitor --env, and it do'nt detect nothing. If I accept the message from kde to open in new window, I got "An unknown error ocurred". I have installed the update from the last saturday, (I mean beta 8). Thanks
