[opensuse] Kernel's set of files

by Basil Chupin

Am I correct in assuming that these files for a kernel should always be downloaded as a 'set' for any version of a kernel? And here I am taking only the kernel-desktop as my example: 1. kernel-desktop 2. kernel-desktop-development 3. kernel-development (from the no-arch repo) 4. kernel-firmware (from the no-arch repo) Reasons for my question are: * I use the ...Kernel:/stable/standard repo for my kernels and using this I updated my kernel to 3.12.0-1 this morning but this did not update the file kernel-firmware even though a later version is showing in YaST; * Patrick mentioned that Tumbleweed is using kernel 3.12.0-34.2 - which I just downloaded. But before installing it I wanted to make sure that I need all of the 4 files I mention above so as not to zonk my 13.1 RC2. Thanks for advice.

Hi, this may be a dumb question, but for some days I am receiving this insistent notification: File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_49_openSUS…' I am running opensuse 12.2 The above repository has moved? Is this a temporary issue? Thanks, Davi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

The bison -y option was supposed to make bison yacc compatible. And calling yacc was the same as calling bison with the -y option. But Not OLD yacc compatible. Fortunately the original yacc package from 8.2 is now found in the byacc package in 12.3. I'm happy SuSE included byacc in 12.3 and hope they continue to do so. My original problem is solved by using byacc instead of bison/yacc.

[opensuse] QGIS and OSM from OBS

by Roger Oberholtzer

Is anyone using QGIS with Open Street Map data? Specifically with the QGIS version available from OBS. Although I am interested in oS 12.3, experiences on any oS release are welcome. In my case, none of the built-in OSM functions/ICONS are appearing anywhere. -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems 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] SuSE Linux release version search

by Mark Hounschell

I have an executable that works but am now unable to build it from source. I'm currently running 12.3 and I've gone back as far as 10.3 to no avail. It is a lex/yacc thing and I am lex/yacc ignorant. I can tell from the executable which gcc and glibc were used. I'm looking for the SuSE release that came with that particular version of gcc/glibc. #strings -a executable_ELF_file | grep "GCC: (" GCC: (GNU) 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux) . . and #strings -a executable_ELF_file | grep -i "GLIBC" GLIBC_2.1 GLIBC_2.0 /usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.3.2/csu /usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.3.2/csu /usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.3.2/csu . . Not sure how to go about finding which release had these versions. Anyone?
