[opensuse-factory] Is there something the matter with the nouveau driver?
by Carlos E. R. 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, The nouveau driver is not in the oss repo. It was in 11.0, it disappeared in 11.1, it is not back in 11.2, where it can only be found in a home repo. A year ago, 2008-11-30, Marcus Meissner wrote in this mail list, in reply to a question from Rajko M: ] Is no longer on 11.1, was dropped. ] ] It can be found in the oS buildservice. <http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2008-11/msg01228.html> But why? Is it bad, wrong, too experimental? What? This is a genuine question, I want to know if I can try it because I have problems with the NV driver (it crashes on restore from hibernation) If I read in /var/log/Xorg.0.log (oS 11.2), I see: (II) Loading extension DRI2 (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) (II) LoadModule: "nouveau" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nouveau (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau" (EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0) (II) LoadModule: "nv" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers/nv_drv.so (II) Module nv: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.6.5, module version = 2.1.14 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0 Thus, the order of preference for the X org people is: 1) privative nvidia driver 2) open nouveau driver 3) open nv driver. Why, if to them the nouveau driver takes preference to nv, was not included in the distro? Something wrong with that driver? (another question: is there a known method to switch driver? There is no more xorg.conf file) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-factory] Re: [opensuse-ppc] No More Official PPC Distro
by Stephen Michael Kellat 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Sitting at a 7400 G4 as I type this, I can say that there remains some interest. The biggest area would be in revitalizing old machines that were otherwise disposed of as excess. Schools trying to wring a small amount of worth out of older machines would also benefit. Today's world is one where the x86 architecture is not absolutely dominant. We're already seeing in the smartphone market the near dominance of ARM architecture in devices. As those devices are becoming essentially small portable computers first with telephone capability a welded-on after-thought, the potential install base is becoming broader. Strangely enough, Android is capable of running on any Power Architecture architecture based handsets although I am not aware of any out there right now. Will there be a "mass market" in a few years with a single architecture dominating? I don't know. Right now, the signs for the future are uncertain. Keeping a PPC legacy intact at least provides good practice for any potential world where no single architecture dominates.

[opensuse-factory] postfix updates not running postmap
by Patrick Shanahan 01 Dec '09

I am consistently getting postfix updates which do not perform postmap against changed files, expecially relay, header-checks and generic, generating error entries in /var/log/mail.

[opensuse-factory] Easier distribution update via zypper
by Josef Reidinger 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi, When I tried distribution update via zypper I found that changing repositories is quite annoying and should be simplified. So I create feature https://features.opensuse.org/308420 . It describe how to benefit from services, which defines repositories for distribution. Thus, if you want update distribution you just refresh service to get the latest stable product or the latest snapshot. If you like that idea please vote for it.
