Can anyone tell from http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-37rc7.i845-t2240.txt and/or http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-37rc512.i845-t2240.txt whether these are i845G, kernel, or general Intel? https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658802 is the only similar open bug I've found so far. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Weekly News for December 25
by Larry Finger 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

The next Testing Core Team IRC meeting to discuss 11.4 Milestone 5 will be held December 27 at 1800 UTC. As most of you are aware, openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 5 was released on schedule. Many of us have had a chance to test it, and found few problems. The only bug added to the "most annoying" list is that zypper is slow on Live-installs (Bug #659864). There is a workaround. I repeat my plea for readers of these news to test, test, test, and and report all bugs to the Novell bugzilla. A very happy holiday for all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

kernel-free M5 installation
by Felix Miata 26 Dec '10

26 Dec '10

As I often do for a "fresh" install, I boot something else, mount the target /, delete most system directories, delete most files in other directories, preserving various config and data files, then do a "fresh" install. In this case, as usual, I left the most recent kernel and its initrd & modules in place. I just did a minimal M5 X installation to an old i810 system with 384M RAM to a 4G / partition. When done, freespace on / was about 61%, but the only kernel in /boot was the old M2 2.6.36-rc4-16, with a freshly created initrd. A follow-up zypper ref and zypper in kernel-desktop gave me 2.6.37-rc5-12. Not likely my installation method is officially supported, but should I file a bug anyway? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

11.4 M5 New installation - Broken Gnome login
by Terje J. Hanssen 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hi testers, On my hot new Asus M4A89 GTD (AMD 890 GX) upgraded workstation/server, I've experienced that new 11.4 M5 x86_64 installations with Gnome as default desktop, causes a broken login. After user name and password, it looked like the login process died out with just the desktop background visible (possibly a desktop freeze). Though, it was possible to switch to console mode with Ctrl-Alt-F1. To be sure I've tested two different iso images and setup: 1) First I installed using the NET iso. New installation with Gnome as default desktop and added the KDE4 software pattern as usually. Login to a Gnome session died out with just the desktop background visible. Login to a KDE4 session worked as as normal. 2) Next I downloaded the full DVD-oss iso and installed using Gnome as default desktop, this time without adding KDE. The same issue was experienced; login to a Gnome session died out with just the desktop background visible. 3) However, I have alreadey 11.4 M5 Gnome (as previous milestones) working on other machines, but these are upgraded using zypper (d)up. Therefore, as a somewhat cumbersome test and work-around, I also tried a new installtion of 11.3 Gnome from DVD on my new hardware. After a short test also this 11.4 Gnome login was broken, especially when I tried to enable desktop effects. 4) I've also added both KDE4 and LXDE, and login to these sessions do work ok from the GDM login menu. This tells me that there is something wrong with the new 11.4 M5 installation using Gnome desktop, at least on this new Asus/AMD hardware. Yet, before I report a bug, it would be of interest to hear if anyone has experience with NEW 11.4 M5 Gnome destkop installations and login. Rgds, Terje J.

factory-tested status
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hi factory-tested snapshotted factory this morning by mistake. There is still some serious random problem causing system hangups, so if you are using the factory-tested repo, you might want to stay with MS5 for some longer until http://openqa.opensuse.org/results/ shows less fails. On the positive side, I improved the decision-code so that new snapshots only happen when there were at least six "overall: OK" results for a build-nr instead of one like before. So far, factory-tested helped to skip 3 other bugs in 3 weeks. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660464 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656520 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656733 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658714 -- Bernhard M.

Weekly News for December 18
by Larry Finger 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

The next Testing Core Team IRC meeting to discuss 11.4 Milestone 5 will be held December 27 at 1800 UTC. The Team had a meeting on Monday, December 6, when we talked about our experiences with openSUSE 11.4 M4. The automated installation testing seems to be working as no one reported installation failures. Our major complaints were Bug #657605 (corrupted downloads), Bug #656060 (poor performance for i945 graphics hardware), and k3b crashing. The corrupted download bug is fixed in M5, and k3b now works. I am aware of other problems with the i915 driver in the 2.6.37 kernel, but those are being addresses in the upstream kernel. My early experience with M5 has led be to switch to it from 11.3 on both 32- and 64-bit systems. From what I see, 11.4 should be a really good distribution. I repeat my plea for readers of these news to test, test, test, and and report all bugs to the Novell bugzilla. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

kernel-xen missing in M4?
by Terje J. Hanssen 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Hi testers, I installed the latest Factory build 0909 using the NET iso, just before Build 0908 was released as M4. Later I tried to install the Xen hypervisor and tools from YaST didn't work. Looking into the YaST add software Xen pattern showed me that the kernel-xen package was'nt available. Though I have downloaded and installed kernel-xen rpm from Factory, I wonder if someone can confirm that kernel-xen package also is missing in M4 Build 0908, before I file a bug about this? (I've tried an 'Upgrade Installation' to 'downgrade' to M4 using the Build 0908 NET iso, but I'm not sure how well it worked. At least kernel-xen wasn't still found in the Xen software pattern) Terje J.
