[opensuse] Where to place boot record on "dual boot" linuxes
by Duaine Hechler 02 Jun '12

02 Jun '12

I have 11.4 as my primary Linux and I want to install 12.2 beta 1 for testing. I'm thinking that the boot should be written to the MBR ? or not ?

[opensuse] Should YaST YOU honour "no vendor change"?
by Carlos E. R. 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For example, I have just updated LibreOffice from the LO Stable repo to 3.5.3 (I'm using oS 11.4). When running YOU, it wants to update a LibreOffice package with vendor change, and we have to assume that having LO components from different vendors might break things. Is this a bug in YOU, or is it intentional behaviour? #### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2012-05-31 21:19:01 #### patch:libreoffice-34-5253.noarch conflicts with libreoffice-languagetool-es.noarch < 1.4-2.2.1 provided by libreoffice-languagetool-es-1.4-2.1.noarch [ ] do not install patch:libreoffice-34-5253.noarch [ ] Following actions will be done: install libreoffice-languagetool-es-1.4-2.2.1.noarch (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/LibreOffice --> openSUSE install libreoffice-languagetool-en-1.4-2.2.1.noarch (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/LibreOffice --> openSUSE install libreoffice-languagetool-1.4-2.2.1.noarch (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/LibreOffice --> openSUSE #### YaST2 conflicts list END ### The solution I use is "do not install patch libreoffice-34-5253.noarch", and inmediately taboo it. By the way, while I'm writing this, I still have the YOU conflicts dialog opened, and one CPU core pegs at 100%. Another bug? Another similar conflict happens because I have updated KDE from the KDE Stable repo, but YOU wants to update, with vendor change, dbus-1, kdebase4-openSUSE, and yast2-control-center; and if I accept this, I get a cascade of dependency conflicts. #### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2012-05-30 12:13:25 #### patch:yast2-control-center-4200.noarch conflicts with yast2-control-center-qt.x86_64 < 2.20.2-1.3.1 provided by yast2-control-center-qt-2.19.3-4.1.x86_64 [x] do not install patch:yast2-control-center-4200.noarch [ ] Following actions will be done: install yast2-control-center-qt-2.20.2-1.3.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE install yast2-control-center-2.20.2-1.3.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE patch:dbus-1-4962.noarch conflicts with dbus-1-devel.x86_64 < 1.4.1-7.8.1 provided by dbus-1-devel-1.4.1-7.1.x86_64 [x] do not install patch:dbus-1-4962.noarch [ ] Following actions will be done: install dbus-1-devel-1.4.1-7.8.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE install dbus-1-32bit-1.4.1-7.8.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE install dbus-1-1.4.1-7.8.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE patch:kdebase4-openSUSE-5043.noarch conflicts with kio_sysinfo-branding-openSUSE.x86_64 < 11.4-33.42.1 provided by kio_sysinfo-branding-openSUSE-11.4-33.3.3.x86_64 [ ] Following actions will be done: install kio_sysinfo-branding-openSUSE-11.4-33.42.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE install kio_sysinfo-11.4-33.42.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE install kdm-branding-openSUSE-11.4-33.42.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE install kdelibs4-branding-openSUSE-11.4-33.42.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE install kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE-11.4-33.42.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE install kdebase4-runtime-branding-openSUSE-11.4-33.42.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE install kdebase4-openSUSE-11.4-33.42.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE --> openSUSE [x] do not install patch:kdebase4-openSUSE-5043.noarch #### YaST2 conflicts list END ### Should I report this in Bugzilla? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I have 5 disks in this machine. One old IDE as system disk and 2x2 SATA in 2 RAIDS. The disks of the failing RAID are plugged into SATA port 3 and 4 according to the printing on the board, but for some weird reason, they show up in the system as sdb and sdd. Before I put them in, the other 2 SATA disks were sda and sdb while the IDE disk was sdc. Now the "old" SATA disks are sda and sdc and the new ones are sdb and sdd. So... Why, for crying out loud, can't SATA 1 be sda to SATA 4 be SDD as it was in the good old times? And which physical disk is the failing one? - -S - -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/Hzf0ACgkQbQKZlCdPOMMQNgCdEUAtmPMmNv3FHz431rsnX1TK fRUAoIzreeYOORAjvoiv6Fz+EnHHrMC9 =f8ZV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kmail does not read a daily html file
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Have a problem since about a month with a daily news paper. KMail does not show the contents. In the beginning of my problems with the daily, I could force KMail to show the contents by using the reply button. That worked for a week. Now nothing shows up. The message is there and for interested list members I have copied the lines until the content begins. No expert on HTML so my question for the experts. Why this behavior? A bug? A faulty HTML program at the sender? Other HTML messages are all shown.
