[opensuse-factory] Factory updated on our server...
Factory is updated on our server again - and is synced out to the mirrors. We've seen a number of reports of about segmentation faults in YaST with the factory tree. There were two problems: * bad error handling in YaST * Wrong release in distversion in the content file The inst-source/content file should have DISTVERSION 10.1-factory instead of DISTVERSION 10.1-factory-beta (the extra minus was the problem). The second problem is fixed in the factory tree, the first one will be fixed soon. Therefore I advise to check that factory is updated before using the tree before installation.

Re: [opensuse] Giving up on Nvidia fx5500 - what other pci vid card has good drivers?
I've given up on trying to make a nvidia fx5500 work with Suse 10.0, can't even get it to complete installation using the graphics installer, and can't get it to start X even when using fx86config to try and set up a basic. What other video card chipset has a good driver support with suse? There was an ATI Radeon something there, but I recall ATI has had a reputation for poor support. Has this improved? (My wife dropped by the shop on a trip into town but can't remember the exact model). Well... from long experience with SUSE and nVidia and ATI video cards, I'll never willing use an ATI card. They are a total nightmare. I'd highly recommend nVidia again despite your problems. I've had a 5200FX working very nicely in SUSE for several years, and have recently and very painlessly upgraded to an nVidia 6600GT. I've also recently had an ATI9250, and while I was able to get it to work, it never worked properly. If you need soem help setting up your existing nVidia card, just ask... there's loads of us on the list here that use nVidia and are very pleased with the results... and with how easy it usualy is to set up.

[opensuse] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: User Restrictions (not Child Protection).
I have a proposal that we don't call this feature Child Protection, or Parental Control or anything similar. In addition to filtering (I would only use whitelisting) what I would like to see is an easy way to configure restrictions for users. I will give a personal example. I have a several computers, one of which is in a central location visible from our kitchen and eating area, and is often used by my 4 year old daughter. I'm quite proud of the fact that she can logon (with username and password) and run Gcompris and Tux Paint, all by herself, (she can't read or write). She is allowed to use this computer whenever she wants, just like she allowed to get pens and paper out and do drawings. Now this computer has connection to the internet, and at the moment I am just relying on her lack of knowledge to get on the internet. In a Microsoft Windows domain there is something called Global Policy, which means on a per user and per machine, I could lock down all sort of settings. eg I could hide control panels, Internet Explorer, ability to get to a command line, various system rights etc by just checking boxes. And it would apply to my selection of users and/or computers in the network. I am well aware that many of these restriction can be setup in Linux, but there is no central tool (that I am aware of) that I can use to do this. eg define these group of settings, restrictions, application settings and apply them to these Users.

[opensuse] openSUSE Bounty
What the Google Summer of Code showed me, is that a relatively small amount of money has caused a great deal of stimulation on getting everyone discussing new ideas that other requests for new ideas seem to have failed to do. It follows on that maybe Novell could a couple of times a year offer a bounty for SUSE Linux projects, and instead of just students leave it open to all developers. We would all discuss and create a list of projects and developers sign up for the bounty. Probably with partial payment on certain project milestones. Ubuntu has a bounty system and indeed last year's Google Summer of Code projects were just included in the existing system of bounties https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyBounties see the table at the bottom for a list of bounty projects.

Re: [opensuse] Giving up on Nvidia fx5500 - what other pci vid card has good drivers?

What other video card chipset has a good driver support with suse? There was an ATI Radeon something there, but I recall ATI has had a reputation for poor support. Has this improved? (My wife dropped by the shop on a trip into town but can't remember the exact model). Well... from long experience with SUSE and nVidia and ATI video cards, I'll never willing use an ATI card. They are a total nightmare. I'd highly recommend nVidia again despite your problems. I've had a 5200FX working very nicely in SUSE for several years, and have recently and very painlessly upgraded to an nVidia 6600GT. I've also recently had an ATI9250, and while I was able to get it to work, it never worked properly. If you need soem help setting up your existing nVidia card, just ask... there's loads of us on the list here that use nVidia and are very pleased with the results... and with how easy it usualy is to set up. C. - And my experience has been just the opposite Clayton. The NVidia cards have been a nightmare for me, but I've yet to have a burp with any of the ATI cards I've used, installed or recommended. Even using the ATI drivers now have become quite simple to install and setup, although since most of the cards are supported natively in X.org, it's very seldom you need to use their drivers, unlike nVidia, to get 3d. I doubt there has been a single nVidia card user or very few that hasn't had to get help on the suse-e list. But still no matter what we've experienced, the OP will have to make up his own mind as to what he wants to try. No matter what the user decides, it will always be a hit or miss thing, you just hope for the best sometimes.
