[opensuse] new eclipse 3.2 or callisto packages
by bgerz＠gmx.net 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi, is it planned to update eclipse to v3.2 or to build the hole callisto project for openSUSE and/or SL10.2 or SLES10 ? I did also look into SLES10 RC3(4CDs) and SLED10 RC3(5CDs), but I found no Eclipse and only the older SUN Java v1.4.2 there. It seems, the free openSUSE is the best distribution for such things... I`m missing a development ADDON-CD for Code 10(SLES based products). -- B.

[SLE] Moving /tmp
by Derek J. Carr 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi, Very much a new Linux user, but some user experience with Unix 20-odd years ago. I'm finding I'm running out of space in / because /tmp is filling up doing some backups and zipping. I have more room on a different partition so I'd like to move /tmp there. Of course /tmp isn't "mounted" at the moment. I'm just confused. How do I mount /tmp onto /dev/hda6 (where /local is mounted already) and have the system see it as the right tmp directory for zipping and such things. I'm using Suse 10.1 free on a i386 machine if that's important. -- -- With best regards, Derek Carr, Birmingham, UK http://alldruid.co.uk/ -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

[SLE] running thunderbird remotely over ssh -X
by Per Jessen 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Occasionally I run thunderbird over ssh -X which of course works with no hassle. Except till today when I tried to open a PDF attachment from an email. Nothing happened remotely, but when I returned to my normal office a while later, I had acrobat running there showing the attachment. Does anyone know how acrobat "managed" to avoid my X-forwarding? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

[opensuse] Automake 1.8 for OpenSuse 10.1?
by Sean Kelley 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

I have not been able to find Automake 1.8 in the repository for 10.1. With Ubuntu, several flavors are kept for reasons that in development you may need to switch between versions for particular code that you are trying to build. Does anyone know of any 10.1 rpms for Automake 1.8?

[opensuse] Talking at a LUG
by James Ogley 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi all, With reference to my blog for today (http://rubberturnip.org.uk/index.cgi/2006/06/30#1151678917talking_at_notts_…), I've been vaguely invited to talk at my local LUG about SUSE. Want to pose the same questions here as will appear on Planet SUSE the next time it updates: * What should I tell them about SUSE? * Would I be able to get hold of any official freebies to give away? Cheers all. -- James Ogley james(a)usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/imin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help(a)opensuse.org

copied from meeting notes: 18:21 @<henne> new isos with fixes package manager stack 18:21 @<henne> fixed* 18:21 @<henne> re-spin isos 18:22 @<henne> michl? 18:22 +<michl> we won't make new isos 18:22 @<henne> because? 18:23 +<michl> every new installation should do online update during installation 18:23 +<michl> and gets the patch 18:23 +<michl> the ohter can do a updat via YOU 18:24 +<bill-barriere> why not just add those to the add-on cd/dvd 18:24 +<michl> and at the moment we don't have ressources creating new isos and do proper testing 18:24 +<bill-barriere> YOU doesnt work how you axpect people to use it to patch itself 18:24 +<bill-barriere> add-on cd thingy will just get added in install way easier for people with 56k 18:25 +<Beineri> bill-barriere: don't confuse YOU (used during installation) and zen-updater 18:25 +<_Marcus_> YOU does work... we have tested it ;) 18:25 @<henne> okay 18:26 @<henne> so getting the new package manager updates by YOU is no problem? 18:26 @<henne> during the installation 18:26 +<_Marcus_> exactly. we had some problems with mirror delays, but most mirrors should have caught up now 18:26 @<henne> okay 18:26 +<_Marcus_> some mirrors are as far back as 4 days 18:26 @<henne> then i also see no need to put those on the add-on cd 18:26 +<_Marcus_> also within the installation workflow 18:26 +<_Marcus_> have to run now, sorrys If I understand this item correctly, I have a question. How do those of us that have sites without internet access, and there by at present use downloaded package update cd's to install updates, be confident with the BASE system installed, if as seems to be implicitly stated in the above that there is no adequate testing and isos updating when a problem is found and fixed before release? scsijon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help(a)opensuse.org

[SLE] SuSE 10.1 & Zen updater
by Matthias Titeux 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hello, I have just performed a clean install of SuSE 10.1 (downloaded DVD ISO), and I am unable to perform the updates. - I have added Yast Sources packman at iu-bremen and http://download.opensuse.org inst sources (normal and non-oss) and http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update/10.1 I also perofmed the online registration When I type under root : "YaST2 online_update", there is no available patchs. Zen Updater show several ones (including libzypp...) but it complains about a dependancy problem : Establishing cript:libzypp-patch-zmdrestart.sh-2-1533-1.noarch[20060703-05707] This would invalidate script:ibzypp-patch-zmdrestart.sh-2-1533-1.noarch[20060703-05707] Marking this resolution attempt as invalid. So I cannot go further I successfully updated a previous 10.1 installation (upgraded from 10.0, but I don't think it does matter in this case) several weeks ago using the Andreas Jaeger test package-management and normally afterwards. Is anybody has a clue about this. I am disapointed because since the release of the new zen stuff packages, it works well. I expected to be able to update a new clean install right away.

[SLE] SuSE 10.0 user login
by pburness 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

For some reason my SuSE 10.0 system will only let root login. I've added two users using Yast setup (default settings) and when I try and login either graphically or via a terminal it just returns me to the user login page.... Anybody any idea's? Phil

[SLE] NAT
by Gerold van Dijk 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

I used YaST2 to configure 2 network interfaces under SuSE 10.0, to be functioning as an Internet Gateway for my LAN. I enabled IP Forwarding, checked the IP addresses and the Firewall settings, but it will NOT do the NAT job! Please Help!!??
