[opensuse] A "WONTFIX" Bug #338930
by David C. Rankin 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

I'm more than a little disappointed in Bugzilla.Novell. After several run ins, I'm a little concerned that the focus there may be more on closing bugs than on fixing them. See Bug #338930 if you are interested. The most concerning part was that as of the time of close, it wasn't clear from the conversation that anyone ever took the time to figure out what the actual problem was before they obviously figured out not to fix it. I was kind of surprised getting that type of a response from suse? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] package recommendations/requests?
by Carl Hartung 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hi All, What is the preferred method for submitting a new package recommendation to the openSUSE project? While researching gui database frontends I located 'glom' and it looks extremely promising. There are currently packages available for Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo and Mandriva. Here's the info: http://www.glom.org/ Required libraries: Bakery 2.4 (requires libxml++, gtkmm, libglademm, gconfmm, and gnome-vfsmm) libgdamm 2 (using libgda with support for PostgreSQL) Python >=2.2 PyGtk PyGda (from gnome-python-extras) GtkSourceView iso-codes TIA & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Comment on 10.3
by Kai Ponte 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hey, I just added a few repositories on oS/10.3 running under VMWare on my 10.2 machine. I *REALLY* like the new "add community repository" tool. That alone would make it worth the upgrade. Very nice!! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SuSE 10.3 won't upgrade when using LVM
by Scott Simpson 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

I am trying to upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3 and 10.3 does not seem to know the file system formats when using LVM. I have / and /boot on an ext3 partition and /usr, /var, swap, etc on LVM partitions. When I boot off the 10.3 DVD and pick upgrade, it has no idea which filesystems to upgrade. Any way around this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Can you tell (or should i be able to see for my self) how many people are still subscribed to the list... >From reliability point of view, sun hardware allways wins! There are not many intel / amd systems i know of, that last as long as sun-systems. On other alternative, hp-risc, turned the cots-hardware, with its reduced life-span. Perhaps i looked at the wrong places, but any chance of some practical info about the ice-cream cross-compilation possibilities? afaik, its an in-house tool, not? publically available, but not documented. I had suse-7.0 running on my sparc-lx and my sparc-20-smp, but those systems are not capable for heavy complilation job (33mHZ cpu ;-) At the time of the 10.0 release-party for the beta-testers, i raised the topic about different architectures. AJ told me that you had a lack of hw-resources, and that sun-equipment was used for NFS-tests. And that the sparc-port, like the hp-risc port, were actually in private inhouse experiment. So if any other sparc-lovers still alive: raise to the occasion! Henne, if you think that (open)-suse can be cured from obesitas, sparc has still a future. 7.0 ran well on 64MB, while otoh if you want to upgrade an 10.1 system, you need 1GB AND swap-space! (Was happy to find that 10.3 is not such a resource-pig as 10.1) But 512MB is the limit for many sparc-systems!

[opensuse] Slow printing on Linux
by ti＠amb.org 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

I have an old HP Laserjet 4ML Postscript printer connected to the parallel port of my SUSE 10.0 machine, running CUPS and configured to use the Laserjet 4ML v2013.003 postscript PPD file (recommended). I also have this printer configured as a shared printer over samba on my network. Everything works properly, but, when I use PayPal shipping to print a USPS shipping label on Linux, it takes a long time (printer light blinking the whole time), but when I do the same thing on Windowz XP to the same printer over the share, it's very fast. The difference is something like many minutes on Linux and only seconds on Windowz for a single sheet to come out. Anyone could offer an explanation why it's so slow on Linux? -Ti -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
