[yast-devel] opensuse 12.1 DVD install showstopper: "An error occurred during initrd creation"

by Mike Coleman

Hi, When I install the final 12.1 from the DVD, it fails during the "Saving bootloader configuration..." / "Install boot manager" phase with a dialog titled "An error occurred during initrd creation." (which has no other text). I am unable to complete the install after this point. This is probably the same bug as "Bug 713316 - mkinitrd: fails to run and/or shows no text during install" (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D713316) I've tried installing on three different platforms, and I get the same bug. If I install using the Live GNOME CD on these platforms, the install completes without difficulty. Has anyone succeeded in installing on any hardware using the 12.1 DVD? Thanks, Mike

[yast-devel] 11.4 build of Yast2 failures?

by Marc Chamberlin

Hi, In order for me to try and grok the YaST bootloader setup module, I thought I would try and download the source code for YaST and compile it on my openSuSE11.4 x86_64 system. Then perhaps I can instrument the code in order to understand the model of the bootloader that YaST presents... (and yes, I have asked before for help on understanding the model, and not gotten any useful replies, just sympathy from others who like me do not have a clue what the various settings will do either.. And yes, I understand GRUB, and the GNU documentation, but the openSuSE model and the bootloader GUI remains incomprehensible to me...) I followed the instructions found at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:YaST_development and one of the things these instructions did was to refer me to another tutorial - http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:YaST_tutorials_development_in_general which indicated that I needed to be sure to install a number of additional packages. I carefully tried to install the listed packages, but a number (shown below) were missing - gettext-devel gtk-devel there is a gtk2-devel package installed on my system. Equivalent? liby2util-devel openssl-devel there is a libopenssl-devel package installed on my system. Equivalent? pkgconfig there is a pkg-config package installed on my system. Equivalent? I dunno what to do about that, so decided to punt and go on. (Anyone got any ideas on how I should locate these packages?) Anywise, I downloaded the YaST source from the SVN (but not from trunk) using the following command - svn co http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/branches/SuSE-Linux-11_4-Branch/ which I guessed would get me the source code for the version of YaST2 that was installed in my system. The checkout proceed fine, as did the three make commands to build and install YaST2. But when I got to the step - y2tool y2makeall I got a number of errors as shown below (steps not shown appeared to build properly without errors) These may be related to the fact that I was unable to find and install all the required packages, so if that is the case, then I need to understand how to find and install those packages. Thanks in advance for helping me with this... Marc... Errors from the automatic compile of all of YaST......

[yast-devel] Moving to /usr

by Ladislav Slezak

Hi all, JFYI: There are discussions about moving everything to /usr directory at opensuse-factory@ (see this thread http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-01/msg00501.html) The wikipage (http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:UsrMerge) also mentions two yast packages: yast2 yast2-metapackage-handler If you maintain such a package don't forget about this change ;-) -- Ladislav Slezák Appliance department / YaST Developer Lihovarská 1060/12 190 00 Prague 9 / Czech Republic tel: +420 284 028 960 lslezak(a)suse.com SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Yast log viewer

by BBands

First, thanks for Yast, a great tool! Whatever happened to the Yast log viewer. It seems like it disappeared in 11.3. Can we have it back? Thanks, John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

Something seriously failed. And instead quick response, that something is wrong with reasonable message, it fails latter with totally confusing message or not fail at all and just doesn't work. This doesn't make good image of YAST. > } > > - // check if portmapper is running > - integer portmapper_status = Service::Status("portmap"); > - y2milestone("portmap status: %1", portmapper_status); > + y2milestone("NFS source - server: %1 file: %2", > parsed_url["host"]:"", parsed_url["path"]:""); > + map mountresult = mountNFS(parsed_url["host"]:"", > parsed_url["path"]:""); > - if (portmapper_status != 0) > - { > - // start portmapper > - boolean started = Service::Start("portmap"); > - y2milestone("portmap start result: %1", started); > - } > - > - y2milestone("NFS source - server: %1 file: %2", > nfs_server, nfs_file); - > - map mountresult = mountNFS(nfs_server, nfs_file); > - > - if (mountresult["mounted"]:false == false) > - { > + if (mountresult["mounted"]:false == false) { > y2error("Cannot read source '%1' - NFS mount > failed", input); And again, you cannot mount NFS. Does user know it? Maybe ideally with some details what is going wrong. Or what he can do to make it happy.
