[opensuse] upgrade => 11.3
by Hans Witvliet 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Hi all, Just before the immenent release, i was wondering if there is a preferred upgrade procedure. For normal (i.e. iron) machines it is rebooting from cd/dvd and do an upgrade. However for virtual machines (XEN in my case) that's not an option. Previously (11.1 -> 11.2) i used these staps: - apply latest patches (the un-escapable backup) - remove all repositories - add repo's with the new version - upgrade zypper - zypper dup - restart vm This used to work good in most cases, but left me with some unstartable machines in other cases. Hence my Q if there is a "official" preferred/recommended way of upgrading virtual machines? hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Digikam fails to load, says it needs QSQLITE
by ianseeks 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Hi All Any one else suffering the above issue with trying to run it? I've done a search of software installed and i appear to have the following sql libraries installed libqt4-sql-sqlite-4.6.3-124.1.i586 libqt4-sql-4.6.3-124.1.i586 libmysqlclient16-5.1.36-6.8.8.i586 libsqlite3-0-3.6.16-2.3.i586 I'm trying to run digikam-1.3.0-43.1 - it worked before the latest upgrade of digikam. Any ideas for a solution apart from downgrading? I'm on opensuse 11.2 and Version 4.4.5 (KDE 4.4.5) "release 272". regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] A question about strigi
by Bob Williams 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Having recently upgraded my desktop to KDE 4.4.4, Nepomuk/strigi has started indexing everything in sight, and is still at it 2 days later. OK, this machine's got enough grunt to cope with that, but I'm wondering what I can do with the results of this operation. Is there a strigi client that I can use to search for stuff, does the Dolphin search module use the strigi database, even better, does the Krusader search module? Krusader is my preferred file manager. Just curious to know if this 460MB Nepomuk store is any use?

[opensuse] New wiki, what now?
by Henne Vogelsang 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

We just switched to the new wiki. So here it is. And now? Let me explain what you can do to help! ===================== Create your user page ===================== Every user of the wiki has a personal page and we did not transfer any of them. We wanted to use this opportunity to brush them up and standardize them. Your userpage should be your first task in the new wiki. If your username is Geeko, just go to http://en.opensuse.org/User:Geeko and press “create”. After that load the userpage teamplate by pressing on the “Load” button. Then fill out the form and you will get a nice standardized userpage! You can also of course transfer your old userpage. Just go to http://old-en.opensuse.org/User:Geeko to find the content. ==================== Report Missing Pages ==================== Can’t find your page? Think we missed something? Just report the page to the opensuse wiki team! We will try our best to help you getting it back! ====================== Transfer Missing Pages ====================== Want to get your hands dirty? Dive right into the new wiki and learn how it works on the Wiki Portal or the previous posts on this blog. After you did that and know all the new wiki Kung-fu you go and find the pages you think are missing on http://old-en.opensuse.org. Now you have two options, either use the Special:Export page on the old wiki and the Special:Import on the new wiki if you want to transfer the article with all of its history or you just copy and paste the article if the history is not that important. Otherwise Just Keep Calm And Carry On! The openSUSE Wiki Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
