[opensuse-factory] modules gobble disk space with built kernel
by Felix Miata 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

/lib/modules/(stock2.6.21kernel)# du -s 60804 . /lib/modules/(my2.6.21kernel)# du -s 538292 . That's a 785% increase in space consumed by my modules over stock modules. Does that happen for anyone building their own Factory kernel? Can a more normal space consumption be made to happen by a mere mortal kernel building novice like myself? What I did was: 1-apply the patch from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7513 2-zcat /proc/config.gz > .config 3-make menuconfig to add smbfs and change the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION 4-make 5-make modules_install 6-INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install 7-fix the resulting broken /boot/grub/menu.lst -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] Can't Rescue 10.3
by Felix Miata 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Friday I determined that 4096 was an inappropriate blocksize for my non-libata hda19 Factory / partition. I booted 10.1 from hda7 and did a cp -a on that partition to another partition, reformatted to the 1024 blocksize, then did cp -a back to it. I then tried to mount and chroot to it in order to run grub-install. Grub-install failed due to the non-existent target device. Copying the hda19 device file from the 10.1 / and trying again didn't help. I tried to do a rescue installation, but both rescue modes apparently failed for a similar or the same reason. Is it possible in Factory to do a rescue? If so, how? -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] ppc buildservice
by Peter Czanik 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hello, I installed the latest factory, and I quite enjoy it, especially the part of adding repositories from the build service easily. I got just one 'little' problem: on PPC all of these repositories are empty (OK, I could probably find some 'noarch' :-) ). Any news on this? Or still 'no public info' or 'in a few months'? Bye, CzP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] brp scripts in autobuild
by andreas.hanke＠gmx-topmail.de 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hi, from various discussions in bug reports I know that brp scripts for the following are installed in autobuild: - check whether .la files have an empty dependency_libs line - check whether .la and .pc files have references to the build root - check whether .desktop files have all their icons installed Are these scripts publicly available somewhere? They are not distributed with rpm, build or osc and I could not find them anywhere else either. If not, would it be possible to publish these (and others, if present)?

[opensuse-factory] Known problem with zypper still?
by Sid Boyce 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

Opened a bug some time ago. Selecting some packages from Factory will cause zypper to not return, stays permanently "working on" and window goes grey. Kill -9 the pids of yast2 sw_single, removing /var/run/zypp.pid and at times needing to bomb out the window is the only way to return it to sanity, then YaST --> Installation Source can be restarted. It's not capable of resolving certain dependencies. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] modprobe --skip-unsupported not needed anymore
by Michal Marek 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

[sorry for the cross-post, but this could be of interest for both packagers as well as factory users/testers] Hi, in case you see warnings like this: WARNING: the --skip-unsupported option is no longer available then either fix your package to no longer care about unsupported modules (remove the --skip-unsupported option) or make a bugreport if it's not in your package. Ex: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=293758 Background: the handling of unsupported modules was changed in 10.3, it's now globally configured in /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported.blacklist, it's no longer the responsibility of the callers of modprobe. For compatibility with not yet updated scripts, the option is still recongnized, but it prints the above warning. For details, see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2007-07/msg00513.html have a nice day, Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Alpha 6 from DVD
by Donn Washburn 29 Jul '07

29 Jul '07

Hey Group; It loaded/worked just fine on My Laptop (HP 6400) with a RJ45 eth0 and a Wireless WIFI. However, That part is not working correctly. It would not set the default to agree with the "Server Search" device This all came about at the end when hardware detection was being used. Problem is due to not allowing multiple devices to to be setup early in the install. However, it must be a display variable problem. Yast2 when up seems to have it correct under Network Setting > Network Card. It just seems it took a while and then a ping worked via the wireless card. The fingerprint device was found. hwinfo --usb found it but no listing. Has anyone figured out which driver to use.
