[opensuse-project] openSuSE 11.1 HD4650 slow with radeonHD

by Joop Boonen

All, I've just installed openSuSE on my system. I found out that radeonhd driver is very slow with my HD4650 card. I've used this card before with openSuSE 11.0 and the fglrx driver this was much faster. Resolution 1900*1200 processor sempron 2500+ 1.4 GHz. openSuSE 11.1 radeonhd 120 fps openSuSE 11.0 fglrx 600 fps The fglrx repository doesn't exist for openSuSE 11.1 yet.

[opensuse-project] Prerelease Torrent files (not ISOs) for openSUSE11.1?

by Clayton

This is an extension of a tread I started over on the openSUSE user list. When 11.0 was released, the openSUSE servers staggered a bit under the load of so many people hammering away trying to either grab the torrent files or download via ftp. The result was that a large number of us (myself included) waited several days before we were even able to get near the website so that we could download the torrent files and get started with downloading/seeding. So, my proposal is.... pre-release the Torrent files. Pre-release ONLY the Torrent files so that those of us who will be Torrenting openSUSE 11.1 can set up our Torrent clients and be ready to go when 11.1 is released and the Torrent tracker is switched "on". The advantage is that we will not need to join the queue waiting for the website to respond, and we will be able to start helping with distributing this release immediately. Thoughts? Comments? Is this possible? Reasonable? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Weekly News - call for contributors

by Rupert Horstkötter

Community, this is a call for volunteers. Thanks to your awesome help, the openSUSE Weekly Newsletter Team currently provides the Weekly News in 9 languages (including English) to the openSUSE community. To be able to further enhance the quality of our current offering, the openSUSE Weekly Newsletter Team always welcomes contributors. What we especially need: 1. We did an investigation last week and we are looking for Italian, French and Chinese translators. These three languages with a significant user percentage of openSUSE installations are not supported by the Weekly Newsletter yet. 2. To strengthen our current translation teams we are always looking for translators for currently supported languages, namely German, Indonesian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. 3. As you hopefully already noticed we provide a dedicated openSUSE Forums section with hot topics and asserted threads as of the Weekly News issue #49 to the openSUSE community. This is an area, where we are also in desperate need of contributors - this is especially interesting for community members highly involved in the forums already. If you are interested to participate in one of these areas, you are very welcome to join the team. Please contact either Jan-Simon Möller - jansimon.moeller/at/opensuse.org or Rupert Horstkötter - rhorstkoetter/at/opensuse.org for further information. Any help is much appreciated and we are looking forward to your responses.

[opensuse-project] Phoronix Intel Atom Benchmark Article

by Rob OpenSuSE

Intel Atom On Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuSE, Mandriva http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_atom_four&num=1 "For our testing this time around we used a Jetway NC92 IPC motherboard. This mini ITX motherboard uses the Intel 945GC Chipset with ICH7 Southbridge and it comes with an Atom 230 1.6GHz processor. This motherboard uses standard DDR2 and it offers a single PCI slot. In addition to that, we also used a 300GB Seagate ST3300622AS SATA HDD, 2GB of DDR2 memory, and the Intel 945 graphics were driving a 1680 x 1050 LCD display." Basically 11.1-RC1 was the slowest in almost all the tests, sometimes by a very long way, that'll be significant to end users. Is 11.1 likely to make a large difference? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello, i don't know, if this list is the right. If not, then say it to me :-) In my work for the openSUSE Weekly News, i use often the software.opensuse.org/search - Interface.

Is it possible to create an Advanced Search for this Interface? -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team (Weekly News) Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

RE: [opensuse-project] openSUSE 11.2 schedule

by awafaa＠opensuse.org

Hopefully we (the GNOME Team) can ensure that we have a solid and working build of the latest and greatest from the land of GNOME, which should be able to bridge any gap that may occur with release cycles. Having a release skip a DE isn't necessarily a bad thing, although I'm sure some will disagree quite vicifoursly. As long as both the KDE and GNOME teams have a well defined plan we can show the outside (and inside) world how we intend on improving things without having the latest release in the distro. The fact that we will have it available as a backport, with full support from the respective communities, is a major step forward - yes the KDE team have led the way here ;-) Regards, Andy P.S.

As others have said - I have some reservations about releasing in September and just missing a GNOME release. I know that syncs badly with the conference, but I think GNOME is important enough to go ahead and wait for it. Why have such a lengthy release cycle and then just miss GNOME? Also, given that people start testing heavily with RCs, it might be better to have an additional RC rather than an additional beta.

[opensuse-project] Does/is openSUSE giving out openSUSE 11.1 boxes and T-shrits for beta testers?

by Adam Jimerson

Hi The other day I got an email from a member of the SUSE Beta team, had a suse.de email address but don't remember the first part nor the name, saying that for helping beta test openSUSE 11.1 I could get a free box version of openSUSE 11.1 and a T-shirt I just needed to give my shipping address. Before I could reply to the email my mail client crashed and ate the email, if this is a real offer I would loved to accept it I just need to know who to get in touch with I tried sending an email to the board about this but no reply as of yet.

[opensuse-project] Need for mails announcing devel stuff

by Vincent Untz

Hi, Every now and then, on IRC (well, at least on #opensuse-gnome), there's a question like "what's the deadline to get packages in this beta" or "are we feature frozen" or "should we submit to openSUSE:11.1 instead of openSUSE:Factory". I'm nearly sure answers to all those questions are obvious to some people and/or are documented somewhere on the wiki. But the fact is that it's not obvious to a bunch of people. I'd like to see mails sent for all of this stuff, possibly to a new mailing list (opensuse-devel-announce, which would be for announcements for people following the development of openSUSE). Eg, sending a reminder that the deadline for submitting packages for the next beta is at the end of the week, or explaining that 11.1 was branched and updates for 11.1 should be handled this way or this other way. Or announcing that we're freezing upstream versions. Stuff like that. (fwiw, this proposal is based on what is done upstream by GNOME, and it has helped improve our life in the GNOME community) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] project dependencies

by Susanne Oberhauser

Hi folks, I was just bitten again by project dependencies: openSUSE:Tools depends on ruby to get more current packages than what we had on sle10. I don't want to copy in the packages fromt heruby project and I don't want to sourcelink them. I instead want the ruby project to 'know' that there are other projects depending on it, so they get a message if they try to disable the sle10 project repo. And what I actually want is to design and document a best practice how projetcs should interact in the software integration process, how project releases are done, so you can rely on another project without copying or linking it's base packages in.
