What about Novell Client for 11.2?
by Terje J. Hanssen 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

I wish to upgrade my office workstation from 11.1 to 11.2 on a corporate network served by Novell OES2/SLES/NOWS. But yet another time this looks to be prevented as far as the Novell Client 2.0 SP2 (currently for SLED11 and works for 11.1), isn't made availabe for openSUSE 11.2. Why isn't a new port of the current native Novell clients coordinated and delievered in time for every new openSUSE release, i.e on the non-OSS add-on CD/DVD? * Novell Client 2.0 SP2 for Linux * GroupWise 8 Client for Linux (The iFolder 3 is already available) (I tried to install NCL 2.0 SP2 on 11.2 RC2 x86_64, but got an error message: Nothing contains libbfd-2.19.so (64bit) which is required by novell-xtier-base-3.1.6-12.x86_64) Rgds, Terje J.

Boot from degraded RADI1 fails on RC1
by Birger Kollstrand 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi, I just did a test on a boot from a RAID1, works well. Then I degraded the RAID1 by taking out one disk, the system fails to boot. Reattached disk and it booted fine. Took out the other disk in the raid, boot fails. Reattached disk and it booted fine. The Yast boot loader program tells me that the boot loader is installed to both disks and that "Enable redundancy for md array" is checked. Any suggestions to where I start to look?

I would not ever install any Windows system on this machine, although it had Windows 2000 on it when I bought it. It is reserved for testing the PCMCIA b43legacy and b43 wireless drivers.

RC2 fixed bugs and remaining bugs
by Terje J. Hanssen 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

1. Fortunately the annoying Reboot/Shutdown (gdm/console kit) and resolv.conf bugs are fixed, at least both work correctly on my RC2 systems. 2. Unfortunately Network Manager still cannot manage OpenVPN connections (Bug 538839), which in my oppinion is user important: It's remarkable, because I reported the same or a similar issue during the SLED11 beta which then was fixed (patched) by Novell and next for 11.1, and I think also send upstreams. 3. Another message which still popup when I logon to a KDE session (a system where I change between Gnome and KDE from the GDM menu), is this one from the KDE session manager: KDE could not start "gnome-starter.bsh". Could not find gnome-starter.bsh executeable. Is this a bug or ..? Rgds, Terje J.

Distro upgrade to which version, 11.2 RC2?
by Terje J. Hanssen 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

I ran 'zypper dup' from 11.2 RC1 yesterday on both my machines, i586 and x86_64. This 1GB upgrade resulted in the newest kernel 2.6.31.5-01-desktop. However, KDE4 My_Computer>Sysinfo:/ still says openSUSE 11.2 RC1. And /etc/SuSE-release tells 11.2 only. Isn't it possible to get confirmed what the exact version of the current system is, Beta, RC as well as Final release? And to mentione, the RC2 iso is already available here ;) http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2-RC2/iso/ Thanks, Terje J.

Trackpad issue on MacBook Pro
by Jim Flanagan 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

I have a small issue running opensuse on my MacBook Pro. The single tap does not work most of the time. If for example I single tap My Computer in the desktop folder, it won't open. I have to then move the cursor for it to open. This only happens when I single tap on the trackpad, not single tap the actual hardware button at the bottom of the trackpad. It happens about 75% of the time or more. It is not limited to the examples I gave, but also on say , minimize, and restore from task bar, etc. Double tap does work as it should. I know this is a minor problem which is why I have waited so long to report it. This was (is) not a problem on my 10.3 install, but has been a present on 11.0 final, 11.1 final, and the 4 or so 11.2 Milestones I've tested, including MS8. I have not downloaded RC1 yet. All installs are under VMWare Fusion, lately version 2.0.6. 11.0 was with KDE 3.5, all the rest with KDE 4 default install. V 10.3 was KDE 3.5.
