What repositories are good?
by Rick Friedman 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

I'm new to SuSE Linux (10.1) but not to Linux itself. So, I'm looking for some good repositories to get current and bleeding edge versions of software. I have no problem dealing with any problems that may occur as a result of broken packages, etc. I am using Smart as my main updater. I have the following channels set up and I wonder if there are any others you might suggest? http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.1 http://packman.inode.at/suse/10.1 http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.1 http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/non-oss-inst-source ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.1/ Are there any other repositories that perhaps I could (or should) include? Thanks, Rick

Kontact/Kmail IMAP Problem
by David Wright 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

I'm using Cyrus IMAP and have been using KDE for the last couple of years as my mail client, but today it started acting funny. I had a set of filters to move emails around to different folders and these have been working fine (although I have noticed that after 20 hours or so of use the filters sometimes stop working). Today however, I had about 15 new emails turn up and it removed them all from the inbox (took about 5 seconds per email to remove them), then plonked them all back in the inbox and started over again! I removed all of the filters (except the SpamAssassin ones), but it still does it! As an interim measure, I have switched over to Evolution, which is currently working normally. This was with the latest Kontact package from the KDE build-service (1.9.4). Has anybody else seen this? Is there a quick fix? I must say, also, that Evolution has improved beyond all recognition over the last couple of builds! When I tried it back in the 9.n days and again, briefly, when I switched to 10.0, it felt clunky and "child-like" in its interface. The new version is one heck of an improvement and my initial impressions are good. - David Wright "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure. There's some way to stop this.

Anders Patches for Zen/Zmd, et al
by John Andersen 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Largely on Anders recommendation I upgraded my 10.1 instalation software from his directory ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/rpm/i586 and turned zmd back on. Today my 9.3 machine and my 10.1 machine both at to apply changes to a single issue (ethereal). Both succeeded. 9.3 using YOU completed in 1 Minute 39 seconds 10.1 using zmd completed in 14 Minutes and 15 seconds. Both installed only the one ethereal patch. Both using the same cable modem. In my book, that counts as still broken. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

all Yum mirrors for 10.1 down?
by Carlos F Lange 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

I was trying to "configure" online update (zen updater) on a new machine for a few hours now. I kept restarting and watching /var/log/messages and one by one the mirrors/servers rejected the service saying that the server withdraw service, or similar. Are all patch servers boycotting the service for 10.1? Carlos FL --

[opensuse] Request downgrade of LIBs using RUG
by Dominique Leuenberger 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Hi, I have several repositories linked in. Rug uses them without significant problems. One repository (quinn-compiz) updated the glib2 to 2.12, which broke functionality of gaim and possibly others. - How can I force rug to take the glib2 of the Standrd Repositories (most probably the UpDate repository I have) instead of quinn-compiz? When I make a rug in UpDates:glib2 (to select glib2 from repository UpDates) I just get the message, glib2 should be Up-ToDate.But still I would like to revert to glib 2.8 (the dependencies in the quinn-compiz repository were already fixed for this). AND: Can I instruct rug NOT to take updates for specific libraries (n my case just again glib2) from a specific Repository? (to be sure it won't just break again in the future)? At the moment I can only use the graphical updater and remove the libs I don't want from the list. But it's not as conveniant as just typing 'rug up' Thank you for your help, Dominique
