[opensuse] Some comments/questions on Opensuse 11.1
I upgraded a machines to Opensuse 11.1 from 11.0. Here are some observations and questions I have and would be grateful if anyone can shed some light on them: 1) Kernel bug when using reiserfs with filesystem ACLs. This bug was introduced with the release of 11.0 and was then quickly fixed for 11.0. Looks like it has been reintroduced in 11.1. If you have a reiserfs filesystem, and you are using acls, then the system will experience a hard freeze during heavy IO loads (think beagle et al in Gnome). I ran smack dab into it, and for now I have respite by just removing Beagle. 2) The splash screen that shows when Gnome is loading reads opensuse 11.0 - either a bug or some file or component failed to update during my upgrade. 3) Missing packages for the smart package manager and FreeNX. Both can be found in a repository (some repository labeled not for release). Everything works when installed from that repository except that the smart package manager issues warnings about md5 hashes being deprecated and to use hashlib. I also noticed that the bacula RPMS are still at version 2.4.2, whereas the current bacula out there is 2.4.3 - not a big deal though. Thanks in advance for anyone who can confirm what I am seeing above or show me some error in my ways and how to fix the stuff. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Please check and report a bug as well.
3) Missing packages for the smart package manager and FreeNX. Both can be found in a repository (some repository labeled not for release). Everything works when installed from that repository except that the smart package manager issues warnings about md5 hashes being deprecated and to use hashlib.
Yes, those two are not part of the distribution itself anymore.
I also noticed that the bacula RPMS are still at version 2.4.2, whereas the current bacula out there is 2.4.3 - not a big deal though.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can confirm what I am seeing above or show me some error in my ways and how to fix the stuff.

Confirmed. I disabled ACL, still locks, soon _after_ I log into the graphical session, not if log on console. I noticed I could ping, but not ssh into the machine. Leaving on the aux computer two ssh sessions with tailf messages and top, confirmed that the machine crashed within seconds of beagle starting. Removed beagle completely, machine is still running. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Many thanks Andreas and Carlos - very well then, looks like just one bug for me to file - the one about the Gnome splash screen still showing 11.0 instead of something about 11.1. Not that it is a big issue, but I can see people thinking their upgrades have somehow failed if they see that. I will look into bug 448007 - if this is the same as the one that originally cropped up in 11.0, then it is a shame that such a serious bug somehow got reintroduced. As an aside, this hard freeze with beagle type syndrome does not seem to crop up when using ext3, only the slowly dying but not yet quite dead resiserfs. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't think there is a splash screen in 11.1 for GNOME... at least I
never see it. The wallpaper from GDM carries over until my wallpaper
loads. If there isn't meant to be a splash screen for GNOME... and you
upgraded from 11.0, then it's probably still using the 11.0 one because
there was no upgrade of that package.
