Its labeled "4th test kernel update" in the patch summary. Since it is just syncing to the mirrors it might take a while to show up on yours ;) Ciao, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, its not here yet, but I tested anyway the update. The KDE update applet said there a 3 updates availanle. In the yast online update it showed that the libzypp update will be installed (in the left part of the GUI), while in the right part summary 8 packages were selected to update (and indeed 8 packages were updated: libzypp, sqlite-zmd, yast2-ncurses, yast2-perl-bindings, past2-pkg-bindings, yast2-qt, zypper, opensuse-updater). Bug or I just misunderstand something? System is an x86_64 bit RC1, updated from mirrors.kernel.org. This was the first and only time I used any update for 10.2.

This is correct. The updater parts are updated first. Then YOU will restart and offer the other 1/2.

Ineed, it restarted (I just didn't press Close to be able to write down the package names ;-)) and installed the update-test-trivial. Still why isthe difference between the number of updated and the number of installed packages? Or an update can mean "update several packages that depend on each other"?

There is a special class of updates, which update the update-stack. (libzypp , zmd , opensuse-updater etc.). These are applied before all others, then the update stack is restarted to apply the rest. Just to get fixes for the update stack in before a potential bug with others can happen.

Ok, meantime the patch appeared on the mirror, 4th kernel update is selected. Problem: Estimated download size: 0 B. Not nice. ;-) The patch is downloading now (it takes some time here). Andras -- Quanta Plus developer - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org K Desktop Environment - http://www.kde.org

The major changes since the RC1 kernel are: * Support for Intel 965 DRM
Use "sax -r -m 0=i810beta" for configuration of your Intel 965 onboard gfx device. For 3D support add ' Load "dri" ' to Modules section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. It has only been tested on a "8086:2982" (965G) device, but it should also work with any other 965 device, i.e. 8086:2972 (946GZ) 8086:2992 (965Q) 8086:29a2 (965G) Xgl/compiz does *not* work. You *cannot* configure it with gnome-xgl-settings and even if you force the configuration it will *not* work.

I did the install, but nothing was installed, (/boot too small), but there was no fault message.. There was a message that some libxine debs were not found on the server though.... M9.

In my case /boot is one cylinder too small due to the bigger kernel files.. But i will look at that bug, cause i get other errors about too less room, where is room enough.. M9.

Installation went smoothly, even the sources. Only side problem: zen-updater neither showed nor did some component from zmd find the update. YaST2 online_update did it. After almost a year of testing, using and switching to other linuxes I am really beginning to wonder, which client company will make more profit through this zmd stuff or which private openSUSE user will have a happier life and family through this monster. Amongst my global company customers I did not find a single one who would decide in favour of Linux (not even talking of Novell Linux) because zmd is there. This stuff is not just imposed onto the community, it's imposed onto companies as well. It has created the hugest bloat of an operation system since MVS/VM times. It's by far the least stable component of openSUSE and guzzles CPU cycles and time off the users and the companies. Might sound far fetched, but the zmd adventure - being clearly of much less tragic nature than some civilization exercises in the Middle East - would also benefit from rethink what we are all doing when wasting time and resources dealing with one of the most bitter jokes in software architecture. Get rid of it and stop throwing good money after bad money. The world will NOT be a better place thanks to zenworks & Co.

Yes fine so far. But I haven't done much retesting, time for bed on this side of the pond.

Positive but with some slight reservations about discipline in testing :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

kernel-default-2.6.18.2-33 The kernel itself seems basically ok. SATA, raid1, USB, SCSI, oh yes PATA too. AMD64. lm_sensors works, but the init script always fails on both start and stop. Smartmontools works fine on PATA but but has a rough time with either -Son or -oon on SATA - 100% CPU for 3 seconds and some syslog stuff, but -data -a gives plausible values. Nvidia driver installs + runs flawlessly, thanks heaps to whoever put up the instructions for 10.2>=alpha4 on the wiki. The nv driver is still rather limited, not more than 1280x1024 on a DVI monitor. Xen kernel works, for some definition of "works": no nvidia module, dead on the serial lines, powersaved is no go. Yast does heaps to get this all running, but puts nonsense into the host's menu.lst so the thing doesn't boot. Installing RC1 as guest fails to detect any network card, but adding this manually works. (Need reports for this?) Great project, but gives an interesting comparison with vmware-server. RC1 looks really good, would be really good too once heaps more bugs are squashed. :( Printing worked for 2 pages and then produces white noise (like pull the antenna off your telly), SCSI scanning only works after manual command line intervention. Yast's quite buggy unfortunately, but at least updating itself should now work fine ;) Happy holidays Andreas, you must be wanting to catch up on sleep now! Thanks for the great work to all at SUSE. It's much more convincing than 10.1!! Looking forward to the final.
