[opensuse-factory] tiny-nvidia-installer removed from factory
by Jonh Arson 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

I wasn't what you can call happy when i found out this little software was removed from factory (and even less so when after reopening it 3 or 4 time the bug was marked as private). No real explanation given. This was by far the easiest and quickest way to get the Nvidia driver up and running and i demand explanation. WONTFIX, build it in the BS. WTF! there is no use to the package if its not right on the cd ... Now if you don't wanna include it in the default selection this is totally understandable, but why totally rip the package off ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 10.2RC1 install failure (& fix) on ASUS P5B Deluxe
by rex 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Boards that use the Intel P965 chipset have another chip for PATA support since no IDE support is included on the P965 chipset. On the P5BD (and some other boards), this chip is a Jmicron chip. If the Jmicron (there's a separate setting for the ICH8) is set to "AHCI" in the BIOS, CD1 will be recognized (if it is in a typical IDE CDROM drive on the PATA port), and the installation will start. However, it will soon be unable to find the CD it was reading from a moment before, and ask you to insert CD1 repeatedly. The fix is to back up to the menu choice that allows loading IDE drivers and load the pata_jmicron driver. Once that's done the installation will proceed normally. HTH someone... -rex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Cannot mount volumes on desktop (HAL permission problem)
by Émeric Maschino 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Hi, I have several volumes displayed on my desktop. But when I'm trying to access one, I'm getting a dialog box saying: Cannot mount volume. Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy. Details say: hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000 This is on an Itanium workstation (IA-64 architecture) running up-to-date openSUSE Factory. Is this a (known) bug or are they corrective actions I can try? I don't know if it's related but I can see an error message at boot time about udevd not being able to lookup the disk group. Cheers, Émeric

[opensuse-factory] screen blanking
by Felix Miata 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

In KDE Control Center, screensaver is disabled, and display power control is enabled to standby at 60 minutes. Yet, every few minutes with no screen activity, the display goes blank. This occurs whether or not I comment away Option "DPMS" in xorg.conf. Where's the bug, or what additional setting is keeping KDE from being obeyed? -- "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven." Matthew 5:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] ludicrous software management
by Felix Miata 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

I just booted in order to update to the latest factory ftp tree. I opened YaST to check and see which installation source was set, because I already found out that my usual mirror is out of sync. Couldn't do it. zypp-updater was running and preventing access to the DB. So, I killed zypp-updater and tried again. Now Yast is stuck downloading God only know what files, when all I wanted to know was what installation source was set. Simply ludicrous software management system. -- "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven." Matthew 5:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] Partitioner..
by Robby (M9.) 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 How to change the size of a partition, fi /home? Partitions can only resized if not mounted... @volker: we seem to be part of the competition, since we are sold, but that doesn't matter.. The partitioners we have are inferior, you have to admit that. In this time, it is possible, to graphicly resize, move, delete or create partitions, and the real changes are made in between shut down and start-up. Why shouldn't this be possible for linux? Why should we, in this time, stil calculate, by hand, for half an hour, or an hour, to get it right, with all the risks to loose the data you do not want to loose?
