[opensuse-project] Looks like the torrents are picking up
by Per Jessen 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

I've been seeding 11.1A1 x86_64 and i386 for a few days by now, and it's been going steady at 100Kbps (my limit) - when I was now downloading 11.1A1 i386, I saw +1200Kbps. I'm surprised about the current interest in Alpha1 - it's already 2 weeks old, but downloads are holding at a steady 100kBps. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] NCL - Novell Client For Linux
by James Tremblay aka SLEducator 10 Aug '08

10 Aug '08

Hello all, I am wondering about whether or not a mailing list or a group could be established or already exist, to talk about current use of and further implementation of the NCL. A friend and I have been working with PAM_SCRIPT and integrated contextless login. It works really well but I would like to have some help with converting it to use PAM_EXEC. so that an "open" possibly GPL add on to the client could be built. Any Suggestions?

[opensuse-project] if the community contributed?

Not openSUSE the distro, but openSUSE the packaging, framework, concept - whatever it is that sets openSUSE apart. After all, the software distributed is the same. I understand that areas such as translation are easy to open to community support, but your comments were made in the context of the partitioner and ext4, i.e. YaST, a very key element to openSUSE. Personally (and partially speaking on behalf of my company too), I'd like to contribute in the areas of JFS and LILO support. Both have been or are being deprecated support-wise, which I am or have been quite vocal about. So, as we are talking about the YaST/partitioner, the key question is: who decides what goes into it? Is this true open source, or is it a Novell product management decision? Who is the project lead on YaST? How does one submit patches? Who decides what is accepted and what is rejected? For instance - why might ext4 get accepted/supported whilst JFS got kicked out earlier? I dare say their level of support/testing is about the same ATM. If you can answer those questions in a satisfactory manner, you might just be getting some community support. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Substantial problems with @opensuse.org email addresses due to SPF
by Felix-Nicolai Müller 06 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, emails _to_ your opensuse.org address will bounce if sender and receiver use SPF. I opened a bug report about it ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414666 ) and explain the details in my blog ( http://fnmueller.wordpress.com/2008/08/05/opensuseorg-email-address-will-bo… ~ ). Marcus said it would be a good idea to bring it up on the ML. So I do. I think it would be a good idea if all of you would vote for the bug as this problem hits almost everybody I believe.

[opensuse-project] discrimination in suse irc channels
by Druid 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hi fellow opensusers, I was in the #opensuse-project channel and I have seen something very shocking happening: < suseROCKs> Beineri: No I'm an American. We kicked Brit ass 232 years ago and we're still gloating about it. Well, I ask you all, should we put that kind of push on british opensuse users? I kid you not, what should we do? Push them to other distributions more friendly to british linux users? That's wrong, in my opinion. What should we do about it?

[opensuse-project] SuSE 11 - Monitor missed during install
by Peter Boomfield 20 Jul '08

20 Jul '08

I have just performed a fresh install of OpenSuSE 11 on a box previously running 10.3. The install went fine until the hardware configuration page. At this point no monitor was found to setup. The graphics card, printer, sound card etc were all found, but the monitor was missing. The monitor is a ViewSonic E70f, and the graphics card is an ATI Radeon 8500 series. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this. Cheers Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

People from Finland, Iceland, Faroe Isles, Greenland, Schleswig-Holstein or other places, who read/write these languages are of course more than welcome to join also. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org
