[opensuse] how does bugzilla work?
by primm 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Bug 445320 concerns the intel 845 (and I think many other) Intel graphics. It only allows framebuffer graphics for these chipsets. It was found in 11.1 rc1. I've sent in some extra info and voted for the bug. I'm not sure how bugzilla works but an upgrade to 11.1 would render my 20 node lan useless due to screen flicker. My main concern is when are rc bugs fixed? Is it likely to be fixed before release this week? If not what is the usual timescale? Would it be sensible up upgrade just one box to 11.1, get Yast to setup the install server and wait until the bug gets fixed? cheers, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] YaST (Software Management) and zypper give different package update results
by Jay Mistry 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

I find that YaST --> Software Management (YaST GUI) and zypper (# zypper up, after # zypper refresh) give different results for Software Package updates (particularly for the KDE 4.2 packages). This was after I did the 1-click install of KDE 4.2 (upgrade from KDE 4.1.3), from this page - http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4. This persisted even after I deleted the KDE 3.5.x and KDE 4.1.4 repos (as given on this page: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories) Is this a bug ? If additional system data is required to troubleshoot, pl let me know.

[opensuse] Keyboard shortcuts? Where did they go?
by John Lange 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Back in the day, (OpenSUSE 10.3?) there was a useful keyboard shortcuts tool which had a comprehensive set of options that could be assigned a shortcut. Specifically, you could assign your virtual desktops to "CTRL-F1", "CTRL-F2", etc for quick switching. The OpenSUSE 11.1 implementation of this tool can be found in the Control Center but it has been "dumbed down" so significantly that it no longer has any they options I need. Can anyone help me out finding this? -- John Lange http://www.johnlange.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] FS falling back to read-only
by Dominique Leuenberger 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Hi, Since recently I experience problems with my root partition falling back at random to be read-only. mount still shows it mounted as rw: /dev/mapper/SYSTEM-ROOT on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) creating anything on that FS fails: touch /tmp/test touch: cannot touch `/tmp/test': Read-only file system remounting it rw fails: sudo mount -o remount,rw / mount: block device /dev/mapper/SYSTEM-ROOT is write-protected, mounting read-only Rebooting the system solves it, until a random date / time when this is going to happen again. The disk was replaced (incl. cabling). Any ideas would be highly appreciated Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] gedit 'Open Location'
by L. V. Lammert 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

In trying to get used to gedit, I find that 'Open Location' either has some trick of which I am not aware, or it DNW properly. Have tried: <hostname> ssh://<hostname> sftp://<hostname> BUT none open the location successfully - all complain with the nice stopsign that '<hostname> is a directory'. What *IS* a location if it isn't a Directory? Have I missed something?

[opensuse] KDE window problems with a mini-laptop (hp2133)
by Sampsa Riikonen 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Dear Listmates, After a traumatic experience of installing suse 11.1 on hp2133 mini-laptop (chrome graphics driver (www.openchrome.org) had to be installed from source, broadcomm STA driver had to be used: (http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Network_Adapters_(Wireless)/Broadcom_BCM43xx)) I am still suffering from the following weird problem: Some of the programs in KDE, for example KpowerSave and Amarok (or even the panel configuration) have configuration windows that are so big that they don't fit on my screen! .. It is very annoying, as the "OK" button to save changes is beyond reach. The screen is the mini-laptop screen ("wxsvga" or how it is called..?). Does anyone have a clue how to fix this??
