I certainly do. A community is _people_ not _projects_. You are _not_ 
discussing _the community_, you're discussing _the work_. No matter how 
many times you repeat it, you're not going to change English to suit 
your misunderstanding.

And I am not trying to change anything. I don't care how the list is 
defined, but saying it's about "the community" makes as much sense as 
saying it's about cheese.

You don't know what's in my mind. I insisted only until I got an answer, 
and it did not come from you. You're still insisting on the non-answer.


> > I did not care what the answer was.
>
> Yes, you did. Otherwise you would not be not happy with the answer.

You still don't know what is or is not in my mind and what makes me 
happy or unhappy. Whatever you all want this list to be is fine with 
me. It's not my place to dictate what it is. I have never been confused 
about that.

But if you won't make a clear statement of what that purpose is, you can 
very well expect inappropriate posts. And that's what you have. And 
that's why you have it. You make a statement like "it's about the 
community" and since no one can make any sense out of that (in this 
context), they post the questions they have.

That is what you have insisted from the start, but repeating a 
non-answer and expecting me to consider it an answer is what you were 
and are still doing.

I was satisfied with Graham's answer, since it was explicit, meaningful 
and couched in language and used words that were all completely 
consistent. And I said as much, more than once.

I could not and cannot acknowledge the same for you because you persist 
with the nonsense non-answer.

I can't tell if you're deliberately twisting my words or just don't 
understand what I wrote.

That is so tragic, it is almost funny. At this moment what is on topic has
not changed. What is on-topic is still very clear to everybody else, exept
apparently you. Do you already understand what a 'community' is?

Yes, you did. Going on and on and on and on is what I would call

Yes, you did. Otherwise you would not be not happy with the answer.

You got a statement and you did not like it. That was the reason you kept
on going. Seems pretty insiting. Even when you told that one person gave
you a satisfying answer, you kept bugging about others not giving the
answer you wanted to hear.

This is exactly the wording why you are 'the bad guy'. With the above you
asume that no good wording will be found. Such an assumtion is degrading.
As you have better understanding of the use of English words, or so you
seem to claim, that is something you should have noticed.

Why am I the bad guy here? Because I forced those who consider 
themselves the police of this list to actually say what is and is not 
on-topic for this list and to use words as they're actually defined in 
English?

I did _not_ come to this with any preconceptions nor did I insist one

to get a clear statement, and it was like pulling teeth to do so.

This is the best suggestion so far.

To get rid of of all confusion we must kill opensuse. - And by that I
mean the list, and not the other thingy. ;-)

Henne: I hope you are reading and agree to this. I don't think it's such
a good idea to first change it to opensuse-technical and then discuss it
again, a better soulution has presented itself (IMO)... So we owe it to
ourselves to do it right when we set this plan in motion.

I'm personally in favour of keeping things as they are and educate and 
redirect people who don't know the difference between openSUSE and SUSE 
Linux - but that's not surprising as I'm a stubborn bastard.

But, if we're going to change things I agree with houghi, Henne's proposal is 
good - but we should learn from our mistakes and enhance it a little bit.

opensuse-users@ -> opensuse-help

opensuse@ -> opensuse-project

Who's gonna misunderstand that?

And then kill [EMAIL PROTECTED] There shouldn't be a plain opensuse@ - too 
confusing 
for people to figure out which aspects of opensuse belong on there - a lot of 
people like Randall will expect opensuse@ to cover every and any aspect of 
openSUSE as well as SUSE Linux.

Such a thing could easily be done by a cron job. However if done by the
list itself, it would be a good idea. The question is how often to post. A
15 or 20 minute interval. ;-)

...more timeouts...

You're not actually blaming smart for timeouts on the
software.opensuse.org HTTP server, are you ? ;)

As Eberhard mentioned, you can use ftp-1.gwdg.de as a mirror.

Here's how to do it with smart:

smart mirror --add http://software.opensuse.org/download \
http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories

(that's a one-liner)

The moment I plan on using 10.1 AND am planning on using more then the
deafult installer that comes with SUSE, I might. Till then I have
absolutely no interest in it myself. That would mean perhaps in about two
or three years, perhaps.

Also I believe that other people have both better insight in the matter
AND are better programmers then I am.

That last part is not that hard. I am not a programmer, just a copy &
paste "scripter". e.g. makeSUSEdvd is made completly of things and samples I
stole from others. :-) And I use the term scripter very loosely. Thief
would be a better term. :-D

For most tasks no reason really, but every now and then I
find it easier for task Z to use tool Y. That, and history 
has thought me that relying on one tool will not necessarily
get the job done (for various reasons).

What is the fun in that? ;-)

Somebody just write a tool to do so. I believe all tools have a CLI
interface. So all you have to do is look wich ones are installed, look
what repo each has and if one has one and not another, add that.

Then add that tool at the end of each 'add source' process of each tool.

Should not be too hard to do, but then I have not looked at it, so it
could be unpossible.

Why?

Just make a decision in favour of one of them and use that one
exclusively. (This doesn't mean you can't switch in the future, you just
have to adjust the configuration before switching.)

Giel,
There are a number of things that you might look at here.  First of 
all, 10.1 is a bit more hardware savy than 9.3 was, so it may be 
looking at things 9.3 doesn't.  Secondly, have you checked for a new 
BIOS file from MSI?  That might fix some things as well.  I'm running 
the nForce2 as well, but with a little less hard drives than you 
without problems under 10.1.  I remember early on there were problems 
with Seagate SATA drives over 160GB, could that be affecting you?  
Have you tried disconnecting just one, rather than both?  Are you 
trying to run RAID?  Have you tried booting with ACPI turned off at 
the loader screen?


Lots of things for you to check.  You might also want to check the 
searchable mail archives for the SUSE english list for similar 
questions.  Also, the suse-e mail list you hear many talking about 
here might have more answers for you, once you narrow down many of 
the above questions.

Thanks for the suggestions Lee,

I updated my bios (7.4 to 7.8) but I'm sorry to say, no result.
I have tried all the 4 different install modes ( "installation", 
"installation -- ACPI disabled",

"installation -- local APIC disabled and "installation -- safe settings")
All off them with the same result, the grafic installer screen pops 
up,  the mouse is correctly probed (I can move him around),
and by each install mode the same result, after about 45 seconds the 
system freezes, only a hard reset can bring it back to live.
If I install with the SATA drives disconnected and later on connect 
the SATA drives again, SUSE 10.1 starts to the point
where the firewall is activated, then the system freeses (always on 
the same point!)


My harddrives are all from Maxtor (2 sata, each 120Gb, 2 IDE one  of 
28GB and one of 18GB) I bougth the system with
only the 2 sata drives. In that time (2003) I could not install LINUX 
on sata so I bougth the two IDE drives so I could
install LINUX ( SUSE ). I allways had to switch in the BIOS to choose 
between starting from IDE or SCSI.


thanks again, I keep on looking,

regards,
Giel


I had this problem with 9.3, on large drives (200-300gb) both IDE and 
SATA, would not boot to even install SuSE. To get around this issue I 
formated them to smaller sizes, in your case perhaps divide the 120 gb 
into two 60gb partitions, or whatever works for you. I do have a 100gb 
SATA partition working with 9.3. Not sure why this is the case, but this 
worked for me.


I believe you will find more answers to your questions on the 
suse-linux-e@suse.com mailing list. Many more watch that list for these 
types of questions.


Hope this helps.

*sigh*

can we please stop spreading false informations?
the common repos format they all support is rpm-md. (dunno if the apt in
the distro is already recent enough. but richard has an up2date package
for sure)

yast2+libzypp | Yast2, rpm-md
smart | Yast2, rpm-md
y2pmsh| Yast2, rpm-md
zmd+libzypp   | Yast2, rpm-md
yum   | rpm-md
apt   | rpm-md, apt

as most sources should ship with rpm-md files you can happily add them
everywhere. If you use multiple tools concurrently, you need to add the
sources to each of them.

Yep, but it's annoying to use half a dozen different tools to
get one single thing installed. Luckily, smart seems to be the
key here as it does operate as a superset tool allowing access
to almost any repository. In theory, that is. Importing

them know of each other. Thus, YUM is unable to pull stuff in 
from APT repository.



so they are unaware of they respective repositories, not 
"completely" unaware of each other


what I don't know is if the same repository can be used with 
just adding needed metadata.


I guess respective repositories are mostly links to the 
rpm's and separate link to metadata - I don't see any reason 
to duplicate the rpm themselves

Look at the postings that are being done now and answerd now since hell
broke loose. How many of them do you think are on topic? Exept for this
thread, I don't see one. :-(

Me, personally, as well. Many people here unfortunatly don't.

I find it also discouraging that since all hell broke loose, just one
person actually posted an answer AND pointed to the correct group. All you
others either just answerd or did nothing.

For me this means that when the opensuse-users group is here, this group
will already be overgrown with technical questions. This will mean that
you have to find a solution afterwards to merge opensuse-users and
opensuse.

Why then do opensuse-users?

I hope you are also aware that this will minimize the difference between
SUSE Linux and openSUSE even more. People will start talking even more
about openSUSE Linux.

That in itself is not a bad thing and somehow still would be something I
prefere. openSUSE as the past SUSE Linux. SUSE Linux as just in SLES and
SLED. The boxed set would also become openSUSE.

My personal opinion is that such a move would carify a LOT of things that
are unclear now.

There is no problem except that suse-* is not hosted on opensuse.org and

you'll see that any package manager use simply the rpm database.

they are different (not all) in metadata they use, but not 
on the result they give.


of course this takes in account only the rpm tools... not

Giel,
There are a number of things that you might look at here.  First of all, 
10.1 is a bit more hardware savy than 9.3 was, so it may be looking at 
things 9.3 doesn't.  Secondly, have you checked for a new BIOS file 
from MSI?  That might fix some things as well.  I'm running the nForce2 
as well, but with a little less hard drives than you without problems 
under 10.1.  I remember early on there were problems with Seagate SATA 
drives over 160GB, could that be affecting you?  Have you tried 
disconnecting just one, rather than both?  Are you trying to run RAID?  
Have you tried booting with ACPI turned off at the loader screen?


Lots of things for you to check.  You might also want to check the 
searchable mail archives for the SUSE english list for similar

Thanks for the suggestions Lee,

I updated my bios (7.4 to 7.8) but I'm sorry to say, no result.
I have tried all the 4 different install modes ( "installation", 
"installation -- ACPI disabled",

"installation -- local APIC disabled and "installation -- safe settings")
All off them with the same result, the grafic installer screen pops up,  
the mouse is correctly probed (I can move him around),
and by each install mode the same result, after about 45 seconds the 
system freezes, only a hard reset can bring it back to live.
If I install with the SATA drives disconnected and later on connect the 
SATA drives again, SUSE 10.1 starts to the point
where the firewall is activated, then the system freeses (always on the 
same point!)


My harddrives are all from Maxtor (2 sata, each 120Gb, 2 IDE one  of 
28GB and one of 18GB) I bougth the system with
only the 2 sata drives. In that time (2003) I could not install LINUX on 
sata so I bougth the two IDE drives so I could
install LINUX ( SUSE ). I allways had to switch in the BIOS to choose 
between starting from IDE or SCSI.

Well, we have at least yum, yast, apt, smart and god knows what
else as repository types. These tools are completely unaware of 
each other, and thus can't solve dependencies properly as each 
sees only a subset of the packages available. As a concrete 
example, I just tried to upgrade to KDE 3.5.3 using YUM, but 
this yielded dozens of missing dependencies (as these packages 
are to be served via yast).

Is the idea now that SUSE is trying to create some kind of a
magical superset tool that magically binds all these together 
and is able to resolve dependencies between different repository 
types? Or what's going on? 

That said, it won't be long now that somebody comes out with new
'cool looking' package management tool that once againt tries
to solve a puzzle that can't really be solved without revising
basics [of Linux]..


> I'm able to install everything with smart.

I had some outdated version installed that didn't really work.
Trying the current version now, but then again - I don't think
a tool you are serving on some corner of the web is supposed
to be the way SUSE is going to address this?

But hey, thanks for this. Lets give it a go once again.

This does not explain what will happen to opensuse itself. That is where

What are you not finding when using smart ?
Works perfectly for me (and I haven't heard that complaint about it, at
least not yet ;)).

Have you tried using my smart RPMs [1] ? they come preconfigured with a
lot of channels, including the main repository, -updates, -non-oss,
guru, packman, ... (make sure to take the latest build, 0.41-26)

You try too hard to read something into my text. There are a lot of bugs which 
are simply KDE-bugs, e.g. that kmail bug with loosing the settings. No matter 
whether you build an RPM and install it, or compile from source, that bug is 
there, i.e. both things have the same bug. Building a package does not fix 
any bugs, it can only add them, unless of course a patch is applied.

This is partly Novell's fault. in bugs.kde.org one enters the issue-title and 
then gets a list of bugs that the one reported could be a duplicate of, I 
guess they implemented that for a reason.

Another possibility would be to have some people from the community to read 
over bugs and kill off all the duplicates, non-reproducable and logs lacking 
bugs before the actual devs spend time on them.

Regarding the reporting of the "official updates'" bugs. Since those bugs, 
according to your definition should not be reported to novell anyway, because 
they are part of an unofficial service, it does not matter whether they are 
reported on forums. In fact, from your point of view all of those bugs should 
be posted to forums instead of novell's bugzilla or mailinglists, since that 
way they do not bother the developers at novell. You really have to make up 
your mind and decide whether you want bugs of the build-service packages 
being reported at novell, or somewhere else, where they do not bother anyone.

Another thing is, those packages are part of the psychological contract SuSE 
has with its users, no matter whether they are official, or not. If this was 
not the case, why does Novell not just scrap them, if they just cause anger 
and pain to everybody and have no value?

Sorry, but most people got a job to do and cannot take some free time to 
intensively test while RCs are provided and certainly do not have the time to 
install a second system just to look for bugs in KDE. Most people find those 
bugs while simply using KDE and because they do some extra testing.
So your solution is only for people who a) have enough space to set up a 
second system, b) have spare time to play in a non-productive system (as one 
should not move email and other serious work to a RC and hence cannot test it 
while just spending the normal amount of time at it), c) are willing to test 
the while new thing and not just one part of it, or are employed to do so. 
Not too many fall into that category.

The working CPUs are listed on the following page:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HVM_Compatible_Processors

AFAIK it's not sure if VT has to be supported by the BIOS. It is expected to 
work if the CPU supports VT and the mainboard supports that CPU.

Other suggestions:

a) opensuse-help
b) opensuse-helpline
c) opensuse-hotline

Maybe some native speaker should decide which implications each name has
 and then we can choose which one fits bets the purpose of the list.

Under which name? The plan for migrating seems to be a good idea, IMHO,
because suse-linux-e is not a name that speaks for itself.

hm, -technical would match also on different other topics, where -factory 
or -buildservice might be a better list. 
 What kind of questions would you like to discuss there ? Maybe around the 
project organisation ? 
 Would opensuse-project a better list than ?

IIRC henne wanted to make suse-linux-e also available under the opensuse 
domain. So we can always announce the new name and fade out the old one.

you can use the same macro in the build service as well. There is just no nice 
button to use it for now.

right.

but we removed the "-g" default meanwhile.

Yes, I understood that, but there seems no to be much difference between 
linking and building it legal wise.

The plan is to move Factory within the build service ...
To allow an open development of the distribution. We just not have all pieces 
together to do so.

Sorry, I'm against this... well.. slightly ;D

We shouldn't "let go" this list as a technical one, but instead migrate
suse-linux-e, or whatever.

But splitting the technical list into suse-linux-e and opensuse won't be
a benefit to anyone.

I'm not against the idea though, move suse-linux-e to
opensuse@opensuse.org and move this list to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But migrating suse-linux-e is going to be a painful process.

Henne, you had something in your plans/AIs about that, any progress or
plan yet ?

cheers

Hmmm,  opensuse-linux-e?

But, as we experience people think that this is the _technical_list.  So, 
let this list grow to be the technical list and as has been proposed before 
create a new list opensuse-community.  Come'n, opensuse is the a techical 
project and as such I (and many others as can be experienced) expect _this_ 
list to be about technical issues.
