[opensuse] 64bit kernel and 32bit userland - Package Upgrades
I have a 64bit XEN dom0, where I want to run a 32bit userland in a XEN domU. I have booted a 32bit userland with a 64bit kernel, as a 64bit dom0 seemingly only allows a 64bit kernel to be used. The 32bit userland works quite well, I've not had any unexpected errors. However; When I want to upgrade or install any software, YaST and friends seems to look at my ARCH to select which packages to install. How can I override YaST and friends magic? -- Dag Stenstad - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It doesn't install any KMP package, which means that with the next kernel update the NVIDIA driver will no longer work. BTW, the driver update process with KMP packages has been invented to resolve exactly this problem. Stefan Public Key available -- Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

I think we provide this for SLED10, but implemented it a long time after 10.1 has been released and since it's unlikely that we'll have KMPs for openSUSE 10.2 ...

Don't we talk about /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-xgl-settings, which is already in compiz package on (open)SUSE 10.1? Anyway, only installing the drivers for 10.1 isn't that hard. http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/ati-installer-HOWTO.html Hope this helps.

I guess the script can only be used, provided Nvidia and ATi host KMPs for the relevant SUSE kernel. As I understand it is doubtful that ATi and Nvidia will provide KMPs for openSUSE 10.2 kernel(s). I hope the last word hasn't been spoken on that matter. It's really a feature that can help move a lot of people to Linux.. especially the ATi-owners. And also a feature that could set openSUSE a part from other distros. Has potential to be a killer feature.

Hi! First of all, I'm sorry, if this has allready been addressed or that I have missed something in this long thread.

Why should we? The script downloads the driver from Nvidias or ATI's site, that's a totally different thing. Why can't OpenSUSE then have the same script? Whould that be easy enough to get the drivers? -- HG. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
