[Opensuse-testing] HP Pavilion DV6095ea sound problem.
by Martin Wojtala 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi Everyone. Has any one set up OpenSuse on HP pavilion DV6000 series yet? My adventure being rather cruel. Starting from painful installation and first crash immediately on first boot sequence to reinstall with ACPI option off. At this point system starts but on the first Gnome screen the sounds repeats continuously one bit until the user move a mouse(attention seeking OS :D) everything else appears to be stable despite two more issues: Similar defect with the sounds appears on the closing procedure of the Opensuse Opensuse 10.3 does not switch off it only restarts but on switch off command it crashes. Apart of that I have congratulate whole development team because Opensuse is the only one Linux operation system that boots so far on my laptop.

regarding opensuse testing
by Mohammed Omar 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

hi all, I work for community distro testing from IBM, basically test opensuse/fedora development-cum-GA releases on IBM platforms like pseries, xseries machines. I have some set of test suites like ltp, stress, bash-memory, memtest, samba, nfs stress, etc for testing above distros. I want to know what kind of test suites community use for testing opensuse. If any body is working on this , pls reply me. thanks --omar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

big bootmanager / partition trouble when doing upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3
by ab 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

hi, i just upgraded an opensuse 10.2 (x86, download edtion) to the 10.3 goldmaster (x86, download edition). the releasenotes talk about this libata, pata, sata renaming stuff all right, but i'd never expected this complete desaster while upgrading my system. shutdown of opensuse 10.2 booting from opensuse 10.3 media (dvd iso image, burned to dvd, did media check before starting install, everything allright). first: opensuse 10.3 installer never found my previous system. the list was completely empty. so i had to check "show all partitions" or whats it called. then it came up with one opensuse 10.2 entry for my / (root) partition. allright. i had to answer some "/dev/hdaX not found" messages and was able to point to /dev/sdaX instead.... then it started to install, but at the end of the first installation step when writing the bootloader and initrd stuff, it gave me hugeloads of errors, still talking about old /dev/hdaX stuff and that it cand do all sorts of things :( so my system was completely trashed from there. trying to boot my harddisk still in the setup-mode gaves me loads of grub errors, this and that grub entries, lines and so forth not found and nothing happend. none of the grub entries worked or didn anything. it complained something about wrong entries like /dev/sda2,1 or /dev/sda2,x so i tried to boot once again from the 10.3 dvd media, and told the system to boot the installed system. to no avail. then once more, the menu "repair system"... loaded up some kernel files, and immediately resetted after that. always able to reproduce this reset-bug. whats going on with that function... is that actually supposed to work? then booted once again the 10.3 dvd, and selected install - then inside yast - other options, repair system.... to no avail again... it loads something and then gives me textmode (yast ncurses) with red error box, that some error has occured. end of story. so i tried to boot up 10.3 dvd with rescue, went into rescue login. mounted my partions into /mnt/ and /mnt/boot /mnt/var /mnt/opt and so on... tried to manually edit my /etc/fstab file, there were still loads of /dev/hdaX entries there. changed them to /dev/sdaX then i looked into /boot/ and thought that i might need to mkinitrd to be able to bootup the new system still in setupmode. i tried chroot /mnt/ but i couldnt do mkinitrd in there, as it complained about missing /dev/... and /proc/.... stuff it couldnt access. fdisk -l didnt work either, and the whole /proc/ was missing.... so i tried some final boot with the 10.3 media, selected install once more, and selected "upgrade" once again, over my partly upgraded (first step only) system. it only wanted to upgrade/install 2 more packages (some berkeley db rpms i think), then tried to write the booloater and initrd stuff all over again, and this time it succeeded. i guess because i had manually modified and fixed my /etc/fstab file in rescue mode before and the 10.3 installer also didnt complain about old /dev/hdaX entries at the beginning any more.... so now my system seems to be back online after this nightmare upgrade am i the only one to always get these install/upgrade troubles. i hate so write it again, but it has been many years back, that i didnt suffer from any upgrade problems with suse/opensuse. and i think i have pretty basic setups, no fancy disks, hardware, simple partitioning and nothing funny at all. still, suse linux manages to trash my system each and every time again, and the setup and other yast-modules crash on me on a frequent basis. :(( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

opensuseupdater: too much caching?
by Christian Boltz 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hello, (using RC2 from Factory) My opensuseupdater-kde keeps telling me that there's an update for itsself available (probably the update-test-affects-package-manager patch). However, this patch and the corresponding RPM is no longer available on the server. Where does the updater get the patch info from? Too much caching? The result is a quite obvious message: Problem beim Laden von Daten von: File ./rpm/noarch/update-test-affects-package-manager-99-99.noarch.rpm not found on media: http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/ Please, see the above error message to for a hint. (and the updater still tells me there's an update available...) Is this worth a bug report? Regards, Christian Boltz -- Hm, mich hat Frust in meiner Linuxanfangszeit doch eher beflügelt, ich hab mir gedacht, dem Schrotthaufen Code zeig ich mal, wer die Hosen anhat. Wobei, ich zappel wohl hier immer noch eher in einem Strampelanzug herum ;) [Thorsten von Plotho-Kettner in suse-linux] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

Crux Theme & Thunderbird
by Andrés Cosa 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hi, I don't really know if this is a suse issue (more likely is a thunderbird thing, I imagine), but just in case I report it. If I switch to Crux Theme (Control Center > Appearence), then open thunderbird and finally click on Write, then thunderbird crashes. I have an Asus G1S laptop running opensuse 10.3 with kernel 2.6.22.5-29 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

I know that the update-test-* packages are only for testing the online update. However, I'm not sure if you understood the problem correctly. To clarify: The updater still offers the patch and package for installation _several days after it has been deleted from the server_. -> Where does it take the patch from? Regards, Christian Boltz -- Unix-Systeme erfordern mündige Bediener und Admins.

10.3RC1:wireless not working on ferrari 4000 laptop
by Stefan Michael Hebsgaard 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hi, I have installed 10.3 RC1 on an Acer ferrari 4000 laptop, but cannot get the wireless network device to work. The device is detected correctly and as far as I can tell the correct driver is loaded, but there is no signal. When I boot I get these messages in /var/log/boot: <6>bcm43xx: Chip ID 0x4318, rev 0x2 <6>bcm43xx: Number of cores: 4 <6>bcm43xx: Core 0: ID 0x800, rev 0xd, vendor 0x4243 <6>bcm43xx: Core 1: ID 0x812, rev 0x9, vendor 0x4243 <6>bcm43xx: Core 2: ID 0x804, rev 0xc, vendor 0x4243 <6>bcm43xx: Core 3: ID 0x80d, rev 0x7, vendor 0x4243 <6>bcm43xx: PHY connected <6>bcm43xx: Detected PHY: Analog: 3, Type 2, Revision 7 <6>bcm43xx: Detected Radio: ID: 8205017f (Manuf: 17f Ver: 2050 Rev: 8) <6>bcm43xx: Radio turned off <6>bcm43xx: Radio turned off There is a button on the laptop to turn the radio on and off, but it does not change the message in the log and the wireless connection does not come up in any event. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

10.2 -> 10.3 xen update test result
by Peter Sjoberg 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I have just updated my 10.2 XEN system to 10.3RC1 and found a few things. 1: It seems like /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules is now called /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules by the /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/convert_persistent_name_rules script. I had a special rule to base eth0 on pci id instead of MAC, that rule got corrupt. SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{device}=="0000:00:07.0", IMPORT="/lib/udev/rename_netiface %k eth0" #got converted to SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="0000:00:07.0", NAME="eth0" and that did of course fail since ATTRS should be device (I guess). On the good news side, it's a never version of forcedeth in 10.3 so I no longer need my custom rule. 2: XEN failures: After disabling autostart of the xen guests I booted the XEN version of the kernel. First issue is that my physical textscreen is 25x80 but stty reports 50x80 so I was very confused as to what was going on at first. After (blindly) logging in and typing "stty rows 25" the screen started to behave acceptable. Now I tried to start one of my domU with "vm create -c sato" but it did just hang, didn't get anything at all out on the screen. Looked around a little and it seems like the migration from xen 3.0 to 3.1 isn't that trivial and requires some work (RTFD for a start) I did also try to build a new domU using yast and for a start the interface makes it a lot harder then before since I have to type in the install source manually despite it's the same as dom0 (an nfs mount point). The install started but when it rebooted an error box came up that it was no kernel there. Tried again with a text only build and there it did the same (after complaining about ntp config failing since ntp wasn't installed) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Techwiz, Peter Sjoberg PGP key (12F506C8) on keyserver & homepage Key fingerprint = 3DC2 CEBA 1590 B41A 3780 955A DB42 02BB 12F5 06C8 mailto:peters AT techwiz.ca http://www.techwiz.ca/~peters -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org
