[opensuse] openSUSE contributor survey
by janfst＠student.matnat.uio.no 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

Hello, My name is Jan Fredrik Stoveland, and I am a masters student at the University of Oslo writing a thesis on firm-sponsored open source communities. openSUSE is the main case for the study. I have been granted permission to send you this email by the openSUSE management, and I hope you do not mind receiving it. I would like to ask all active members of this mailinglist to participate in a brief, anonymous electronic survey targeted at active contributors in the openSUSE community. So if you regularly post messages on this list to help other users, I would appreciate if you participate in the survey. Other users may participate too. The research is funded by the University, and is independent of any commercial interests. The link to the survey is here: https://nettskjema.uio.no/answer.html?fid=38823&lang=en The questions in the survey concern your current engagement in the openSUSE community, your reasons for participating in the community and your affiliation with Novell. I expect the survey will take you maximum 10 minutes to complete, unless you find any questions difficult to answer. What do you get in return for doing this? The results from the survey will be published on opensuse.org, and the thesis with other interesting findings about your community will be published around May next year. Hopefully this will be of interest to you. But first of all I hope you will contribute for the sake of research itself. Thank you very much for your help!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a problem with zypper. It doesn't refresh local repositories here. rpm -qa |grep zypper zypper-0.8.25-0.1 rpm -qa |grep createrepo createrepo-0.4.10-14 - - adding webpin-0.8-1.guru.suse103.i586.rpm to /srv/diverse - - evoking creterepo /srv/diverse - - evoking as root zypper ref: getting: zypper ref ...

After that still no luck with packet manager finding webpin-0.8-1.guru.suse103.i586.rpm But when I repeat this procedure couple of times then zypper finally recognizes the new repodata.

[opensuse] 10.3 and powermanagement
by Andreas 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

I am sure it is something very obvious, yet I can't seem to find a way to configure the powermanagement in openSUSE 10.3. YaST is missing the power-management module and in KPowersave all options are 'greyed out'. Any pointers? -- Gruß Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Finding bugs in OpenSuse Bugzilla - Mime Type Errors in Konqueror
by Philippe Landau 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

This problem exists since years and thousands struggle with it in different distributions: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/mandriva-30/could-not-find-mime-typ… In Konqueror file associations are incomplete in OpenSuse 10.3, so i changed .flv handling adding VLC to open those files (right-click on file, Properties, click icon after "Type:"). Since i get this error message popping up every time i hover above a .html file: "Could not find mime type application/octet-stream" Is it possible to search OpenSuse Bugzilla for a phrase ? I get over 200 results: https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevan… Kind regards Philippe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuse 10.2 - Fortran compilation very slow through NFS network with a 64bit server and 32bit clients.
by Michel Rasquin 23 Dec '07

23 Dec '07

Dear all, I am a new OpenSuSE user and quite convinced by this distribution. However, I still have a problem. I have configured a gigabit network, using nfs and everything works fine except for all the Fortran compilers I have tried so far (Intel, g95, gfortran). There is no problem to compile some files which are stored locally on a nfs client. However, when I try to compile some files stored on /home which is mounted through nfs, then it takes hours to make the link between all the .o files created. My server is an OpenSuSE 10.2 - 64bit machine and the nfs options are "root_squash,sync,insecure,rw". All the clients run on OpenSuSE 10.2 - 32bit, with the options "rw,soft". Except for the compilation, I do not face any other slow network communication. Do you know if the problem is related to the "32bit clients - 64bit server" association? Should I add another nfs option to the server or to the clients? Thanks a lot for your help :-) Regards, Michel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
