I've been seeing for some time the following set of errors. I could accept the Virtualbox messages, because I haven't tried to use VB yet. But why not OpenOffice, dbus, k3b, kupdateapplet, etc.? I keep hoping whatever's keeping them in the old versions will clear up, but it's not, for some long time now. Should I be concerned?

[opensuse] updating on 11:3 is broken
by Tony Pott 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

If this is the wrong list for this, please let me know. I tried running an update today. Suddenly I have to 'configure an update repository' which involves registering. I've no problem with that, if the system worked, but it doesn't. I get as far as it launching a browser from the 'manual interaction required dialog', and I press 'continue', which launches a browser. I click 'continue' on that too. It closes, and I get a brief 'contacting server' progress dialog, then the 'manual interaction' dialog is modal again. From here there are three paths: 1. Continue the above loop ad infinitum. 2. Cancel, in which case I'm not configured, and can't update 3. cut and past the link in the 'manual interaction dialog for a manual registration. Option 3 doesn't seem to work either. Although the tab in firefox says 'registration completed', the page says I have to complete the registration process by clicking the 'continue' button. So I do, and nothing happens. I have two questions: 1. where do I go from here? 2. Did no-one learn from the version 10 mess that changing the updating system during the rush to get a new release out is a bad idea?

[opensuse] kernel messages on openSUSE 11.2
by Istvan Gabor 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hello: I use openSUSE 11.2 with default kernel-desktop, and KDE 3.5.10 as desktop manager. Sometimes so called 'kernel message' windows pop-up on the screen, and the same messages are shown in all the the opened terminal windows (konsole). Is there a way to disable this and/or restrict to it only one window, eg to the popping-up x-window?

[opensuse] Has nouveau kernel driver been removed from openSUSE 11.2?
by Roger Oberholtzer 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

I have an up-to-date openSUSE 11.2 system. Last week's update of the nvidia driver is causing me problems with frequent freezes (max cpu time) and rather frequent server crashes. Until I sort this out, I would like to use the nouveau driver. I have the X11 driver, and can make sure the nouveau driver is not blacklisted. However, I don't seem to find the nouveau.ko driver. X fails claiming it could not be found. I expected this to be in the kernel-xxx package, as are the other drivers, and as it is on openSUSE 11.3. But alas the nouveau.ko kernel driver is not there. My installed kernel is: kernel-desktop-2.6.31.14-0.6.1.i586 My nouveau X server is: xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau-0.0.16_20110115_b795ca6-22.1.i586 Shouldn't the nouveau.ko kernel driver be in one of these? Although not my real question, the troublesome nvidia drivers are: x11-video-nvidiaG02-256.53-16.1.i586 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-256.53_2.6.31.5_0.1-15.1.i586 Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer(a)ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] opensuse 11.3: no export from Yast2? No additional repositories?
by Markus Egg 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Hello, Second time to ask this question: I bought a openSuSE 11.3 package, made a fresh install on my laptop and tried to export the installed packages (like in previous versions of openSuSE and yast2). It does not work: yast2 Software dialog simply vanishes when selecting "Export" for exporting the installed packages! Bug report seems to be here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624310 Same for Software Repositories: when adding a repository from local directory the repository dialog vanishes when I try to open the fileselector to select the directory! Then I checked and found that version yast2-2.19.14-0.3.1.i586.rpm that is here: yast2-2.19.14-0.3.1.i586.rpm 07-Jan-2011 12:45 568K http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/opensuse/update/11.3/rpm/i586/ and here: http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3/rpm/i586/ seems to be the newest version (correct?). Installed this one. The new version installs fine but it has the same bugs! Is there any solution for this faulty yast2? Is there any newer version (I did not find one on the net)?

Apart from amending /etc/sysconfig/nfs to disable support for NFSv4, what else do I need to do?
