Ok, I managed, but only with an openSUSE DVD and quite a few hours of un-breaking my system ;-) The idea is that you first do the kernel, than reboot, do zypper/rpm/etc and the rest. But after doing the kernel it missed the modules to mount my root so game over there... I then used an openSUSE DVD to do the 'upgrade'. It worked but installed outdated packages as I couldn't add the repo's I have while upgrading with the DVD, it timed out on the (perfectly valid) URL's... And it left a broken system, giving some errors of missing stuff after rebooting so I spend quite some time fixing that one too. Then I had to re-install quite a few packages and - now it works again. Not something I'd recommend for somebody not experienced with quite some reasonably hard-core stuff (chrooting, wgetting rpm's and forcibly installing them, all not horribly complicated but not something an 'average' user would be able to do). /Jos >> >> (I still have my laptop, don't worry.

[opensuse-project] openSUSE:SUSECon Planning
by Shayon Mukherjee 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Hello There, I just signed up myself for the volunteer work - Android Setup and Wordpress Setup on the openSUSE:SUSECon Planning page. I use to contribute to openSUSE quite a while back. And now I would really love contribute my 2 cents again. I am wondering if anybody can tell me what kind of things are being expected or is being planned for the above two mentioned tasks. In short - I am looking for a place to start :) Cheers /Shayon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

07 Feb '12

Hey all fosdem-goers! I dunno about you, but I had a lot of fun at FOSDEM... But before catching up to sleep I think we should let the world know what happened! I did a little write-up and now need some review, additions and pictures from ya'll. Anyone who has good pictures for news.o.o please mail me. IF you point me to an online picture, make sure I can use it (license-wise) please! Article draft: https://pad.riseup.net/p/fosdem (*yes* yes another etherpad lite thing. Hope this one is more stable but I bet it's not) Thanks, Jos

[opensuse-project] update about the Linux Audio Conference
by Drew Adams 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Just an update on the Linux Audio Conference: I investigated and found it really isn't beneficial to us for because: 1) There are no booths 2) They want $1K for sponsorship and it doesn't give us anything except a nice logo print 3) We missed the deadline for submitting any talk proposals 4) With expected attendance of 150, the expense we would put out to send people there isn't warranted Even though it wont work out this time, I'll keep an eye on LAC and see if we can come up with a better solution for next year. -- Drew Adams Member & Ambassador, openSUSE Project IRC Handle: Druonysus Skype ID: Druonysus Skype #: +1(714)725-SUSE Phone: +1(951)444-UNIX eMail: druonysus(a)gmail.com openSUSE User Profile: http://en.opensuse.org/User:Druonysus openSUSE Connect Profile: https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/Druonysus -- This message sent via gmail.com from FireFox on openSUSE 12.1 with KDE 4.7.2.

[opensuse-project] GSOC2012- Introducing myself
by Mesbah Islam 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

My name is Md. Mesbahul Islam. I am currently a final year undergraduate student studying Computer Science and Engineering in Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology(BUET). I live in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I love rain, basketball, playing guitar and coding. I am very much interested in the openSUSE Wubi project for GSOC 2012. openSUSE is one of the finest distros of linux(the green color and the lizard just makes it more awesome) but it does not have the inside windows installation whereas other distros like linuxMint has ported wubi successfully. I have downloaded the Wubi source code from launchpad using bazaar and reading Wubi developers manual for better understanding. I am coding in C++ for more than 4 years. The main part of the Wubi code is written in python, though. I won't say that I am the perfect guy for this job but I am willing to give my best. I think my interest and adaptation skills will be helpful for finishing the project in time. I am considering this project as an opportunity to develop my skills and learn new things from the community. I want to be a part of the openSUSE community and work for this project whether I am selected for GSOC 2012 or not. I hope you will consider me as a part of the community and help me throughout this project. I would very much appreciate any guidelines for this project. Hope to have a wonderful summer with you guys. Thank you. Regards, Md. Mesbahul Islam Dept. of CSE BUET -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
