[opensuse] fish protocol and > 2.6.20 kernel problem fixed in 10.3 beta?
by Joe Morris (NTM) 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Can anyone please check and see if fish protocol is working in the 10.3 betas. In 10.2 IIRC it does not work properly with a kernel greater than 2.6.20 or so. It seems to be some interaction between fish in the kernel, as the original kernel works fine, and it is not limited to openSUSE, see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145123 for more info. Since I use fish quite a bit, I have went back to the 2.6.18 series kernel (i.e. latest updated 10.2 kernel) where it still works. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Fonts
by Dave Barton 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

I have just changed (fresh install) my main production system from 10.1 to 10.2 (Big Mistake!!! but that's another issue). In the process of restoring my original OpenOffice.org configurations I noticed that many of the previously available fonts were not accessible, even though I had reinstalled all of them on 10.2. When I searched for the location of truetype fonts on the system, I found a hodge-podge of various, sometimes duplicated, truetype fonts installed (not soft links) in the following directories: /usr/local/share/fonts /usr/share/fonts/truetype /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype The OpenOffice.org configuration is easy to fix, but does anyone know why fonts are scattered around in this apparently disorganized fashion? Windows may not have a lot going for it, but at least application developers and users can be reasonably confident of finding all installed fonts in one known location. Dave

It is simple with Konsole and Midnight Commander, if installed.

[opensuse] Install or Update?
by Jerry Houston 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

I'm keen to try 10.3 beta 1, because I've heard that my sound card driver will be built into the kernel, and I've had no luck getting sound working no this machine by any other means. I downloaded the ISO and burned a DVD, and all seems well, but I'm puzzled about an installation option. I want to be sure that I'll be able to boot my current 10.2 kernel, in case of problems with the beta, because disregarding the sound issue, everything else seems to be pretty well sorted out. I wouldn't want to be unable to access my email store, for example. When I selected the update option, after much checking and evaluating, the installer presented an empty list of installations that could be updated. Checking the "show all partitions" checkbox revealed three. However, I was reluctant to update something without knowing for sure what would happen as a result. If I tell it to do a new installation -- not an update -- will that still leave the old versions available in GRUB? Will I still be able to choose to boot to 10.2.<whatever>, or will a new installation make _everything_ new?
