Software-Updates & Packman
Hi @ all, I just installed RC1 and I am quite impressed. Very good work! Unfortunately two / three things are not working and I don't know whether it's a user-thing or some tech stuff: 1) Online Update: I see the orange exclamation mark in the tray, but when I tell the system to update I get an error message saying either - Updating kaffeine-0.7.1-23.i586[System packages] to kaffeine-0.8.1-0.pm.0.i586[20060414-150517] There are no installable providers of libgstreamer-0.8.so.1 for kaffeine-0.8.1-0.pm.0.i586[20060414-150517] libxine1-1.1.1-14.pm.0.i686[20060414-150517] needed by kaffeine-0.8.1-0.pm.0.i586[20060414-150517] or (when I deselect kaffeine: - Package transaction failed, Installation aborted by User But i can guarantee I didn't abort anything... 2) Automount: CDs and USB-storage are not automounted any more. I know that some people don't like that, but I do. How can I reactivate this? I do not get any SusePlugger-Notification (I guess plugger is not running), the fstab does not include the former default-entries for /media/DVD and /media/DVDRAM... I'm lost :-( 3) Packman: I am trying to load xine, mp3 and some other stuff from Packman. When I add a suse/10.1-Directory of any packman mirror to the installation sources (tried tu-ilmenau, uni-erlangen and packman.tu-bremen) I get some packages, but KDE-MP3-Support (kdexxxx-mad), libxine1and xine-ui are missing. Are they just not ready yet? Or have I missed something? Thank you all in advance, happy easter-holiday and : I'm looking forward for the final release... will there be a simple "upgrade all"?

Hi @ all,
I just installed RC1 and I am quite impressed. Very good work! Unfortunately two / three things are not working and I don't know whether it's a user-thing or some tech stuff:

or (when I deselect kaffeine:
- Package transaction failed, Installation aborted by User
But i can guarantee I didn't abort anything...
There are allready a lot of bugreports about it. So I guess its a known problem (and it sucks)
3) Packman: I am trying to load xine, mp3 and some other stuff from Packman. When I add a suse/10.1-Directory of any packman mirror to the installation sources (tried tu-ilmenau, uni-erlangen and packman.tu-bremen) I get some packages, but KDE-MP3-Support (kdexxxx-mad), libxine1and xine-ui are missing.

Normally Packman was always a bit later then the SUSE linux-release. This time the began early but the repo is not fully filled yet. So no worries, it will come before or short after the official release. Azerion
Well.... I'm still learning, so I want to keep you informed and rephrase some of my questions ;-)
1) Online Update: I see the orange exclamation mark in the tray, but when I tell the system to update I get an error message ... OK, I learned that this is a known issue. So I can live with it for a couple of days... Just: Will it be possible to just load a new package and solve the issue? Patching wont work due to faulty online update... So: Do I have to reinstall everything???
2) Automount: CDs and USB-storage are not automounted any more. ... OK, seems that from the default setup it sort of works within KDE. As this is 99.9% of what I do: Good. Just: My sound card is a SoundBlasterLive 24bit (ALSA driver ca0106). I have the analogue audio cable installed, but the driver does not let me switch it on. So I have to use digital data extraction via IDE cable. The only application that can do this (from what I know) is XMMS CD. So I put an Audio-CD in the drive and when KDE asked for the desired option I chose "configure" and added a new handler. The command I entered was copied from the KDE-Menue and reads: "xmms /media/xmms_audio_cd". But when I confirm this and want XMMS to start, a dialogue opens that seems to try and rip the CD instead. Does anybody use XMMS CD to listen to Audio-CDs and can tell me, how it was set up?
3) Packman: I am trying to load xine, mp3 and some other stuff from Packman. When I add a suse/10.1-Directory of any packman mirror to the installation sources (tried tu-ilmenau, uni-erlangen and packman.tu-bremen) I get some packages, but KDE-MP3-Support ... are missing....
Well, I understood, that new packages will still come up in the next days. Fine with me. Bottom line: Allmost everything is in place (or will be in the near future) so I am happy! I'd be glad, if somebody has sort of an answer to the remeining issues. Kind regards and have a good weekend, Martin Soltau

I would always do a re-install to a machine. I would never trust a Alpha, Beta or RC to be installed on an operational machine. Even if I would later plan to do an upgrade to the full version, I would not let it do from Alpha, Beta or RC. With Alpha, Beta or RC I also understand that sometimes (frequent) re-installation might be needed, no matter what others say or experience. That is then the moment you start filing bugreports. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

But after RC1 we can also test upgrading :-). That part has to be tested to, but upgrading from beta3 or 5/9 is not a good idea. Azerion

Sure. I just would never do it on a production machine. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit. Leben ist aber mehr als Werk und Arbeit, und das Sein wichtiger als das Tun - Johannes Müller-Elmau
