I recall that there was something about the compression used by rpm that had to be updated first. Then zypper. Then the system. Maybe the zypper/rpm could come from 11.0. I wasn't paying too close attention at the time, as I did not think I would do that. No one told me there was going to be a quiz. Maybe I will see how far I get with an autoyast.xml generated for the 10.3 system and used to install 11.2. I seem to be feeling adventurous today. I have the Christmas break to recover if I break something. The system is not critical. It is like systems our customers have and we are thinking of the best/easiest way they can move to 11.2.

[opensuse] curious zypper suggestion
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

On 11.2, I am messing about with some apps that can easily die. Nothing new there :) In a recent interaction, when an app crashed, I got the following listed: Missing separate debuginfo for /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 Try: zypper install -C "debuginfo(build-id)=df6dcedfbde83400310437f8f22b91b8754d551d" This was listed for each library used in the application. I do not have any debug libraries installed. I am guessing this is suggesting that I can get these installed with the suggested command. My question is: what would this accomplish? Would it simply install the debug packages? Or would it install some other useful debugging info?

[opensuse] Unset the Remeber Password (forget password) in ksesu
by ritchie 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Seasons felicitations list mates, I was careless recently. I needed to install some software for my daughter, and when she was logged in I ran Yast, up popped Kdesu (as normal) I typed the root password and pressed OK. To my horror, after I pressed the OK button, I noticed that the "Save Password" check box was checked. Doh! My 12 year old daughter can now run yast at any time without entering a password. Obviously I feel like a right knob for not being more alert and causing this less than ideal situation. I have been unable to find the solution to "How to I get kdesu to 'forget' the password?" Any help would be gratefully received.

[opensuse] backups choice
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Have to admit that I am do not backup on regularly. There are some files, especially photos, that I save on cdrom but everything else I leave to the chance that something happens to my hard drive and I loose all my setups and personal files. I want to change that. Its one of my good intentions for 2011 ;) . I want to use a 2Gb usb stick. Looking into the backup programs in Yast I am really confused which of the programs would be best suited for me. The usb stick should not be inserted all the time. Advice please. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.37-rc5-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.5.4 (KDE 4.5.4) "release 9" 11:47am up 0:24, 2 users, load average: 1.40, 1.25, 1.05 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nicely surprised...
by Insomniac 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

For the first time since using SuSE/Opensuse since 7.3, tonight when I fired up my system I *finally* got to see the moving penguins walking back and forth on the start-up screen in snow and ice (the screen where I choose which 'system' to start, like regular 11.3, or failsafe, or floppy, etc). I thought there was supposed to be a more 'christmasy' theme to it, but this was good enough. I'd waited 10 years just to be able to see this happen after hearing others getting to see it and trying all the posted ways to supposedly make it happen (which none ever worked). Anyway, it was nice to see it and thought I'd just let everyone know. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
