[opensuse-factory] An adventurous update to beta2...
Hello, I just updated my 10.2 to 10.3 beta2 and, well, it was a bit adventurous ;-) and I'm asking myself if someone has tried to install beta2 as update - there are too many obvious bugs, and some of them are critical from my POV :-( Installation source: Factory tree + non-OSS tree, mirrored yesterday Just a short overview about the problems I had as short overview: - my 10.2 partition is only offered for update if I select show all partitions (and: no, I don't think that https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299667 is invalid - the solution would be to ask for the password of the encrypted partition earlier) - /etc/cryptotab is not converted to /dev/sd*, so mounting encrypted partitions while installation fails - /etc/fstab is also not converted, so mounting everything except / fails - /boot/grub/device.map also wasn't modified, resulting in a failure at bootloader installation - installing the kernel also failed because mkinitrd was still trying to use hda - workaround: change fstab manually - the tab order in the dialog to add an add-on repository is broken - the pattern update test packages does not drop in any of the update-test-* packages - I had the latest KDE packages from Buildservice on 10.2, and the beta2 installation had to downgrade them. This resulted in lots of conflicts, YaST even marked the beta2 KDE packages with arch change and did not honor what I chose in the conflict dialog. I had to go to the packages mask and mark the KDE packages to be refreshed. - strange version difference: I'm still using agrep from SUSE 8.2, which is version 4.0 (newer releases didn't contain it) and now re-appeared with version 0.7. - on the first run, the installation aborted unexpectedly, probably because the y2logs and a testcase needed too much RAM. Sidenote: I have 1GB RAM... Next run without testcase generation worked, but still created ~300 MB y2logs. Question: does manual mode create bigger logs does this always happen? (reason for manual mode: linuxrc forces me to manual installation mode because it doesn't find my HTTP installation source in the first run - already filed a bug about this) Anyways, expected result is a warning out of RAM, please cleanup the logs or add swap. - oh, just after clicking accept in the pattern details view, I got about 200 MB additional y2log in 10 seconds... - dependency check is quite slow when you have many conflicts (but fast after you have solved them) - for OpenOffice, thesaurus packages are installed for lots of languages I never use. I'd expect to only have packages for my system language by default. - Some packages unselected in pattern details (the OpenOffice thesaurus packages) were re-selected after clicking packages in the proposal - which means YaST does changes after a user has done a per-package selection in the pattern details view - what about gtk-qt-engine? It conflicts with kcm_gtk... - java_1_4_2_sun_jdbc also caused a conflict, maybe it should be obsoleted by a current (1.5.0) package - YaST didn't display the slide show, dunno why - installation of several non-OSS packages failed with error message Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 623: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize [...] %post failed with exit status 127 affected: nspluginwrapper, acroread, flash-player, RealPlayer - according to the y2log, the downloaded release notes have version 10.2.3 which is obviously older than 10.3.5 in Factory - SuSEconfig.zzzopt_gnome-compat code looks ugly code, it should have more than one FIXME ;-) - opensuse-updater is not obsoleted by opensuse-updater-kde, so I have installed both of them now And some things I already found in the running system: - something seems to run insserv -r boot.crypto while installation, so my encrypted partition wasn't mounted at boot (workaround: insserv it again) - opensuse-updater (the old one, still running after the update) lists also *packages* to update, not only patches (intended?) - opensuse-updater (again the old one) has a grey, empty area at the bottom - where's the patch description? - the new opensuse-updater-kde initially shows only an overview. I'm not yet sure if I really like this (for me it's a click more to see the available updates) - so please add an always show details checkbox. - YOU doesn't display information about packages, just lists the patches (empty list at the right section of the window) I would be happy if someone could add a short note to every item if it is already known or if I need to file a bugreport ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz PS: I'll now going to verify if all YaST modules support the help parameter (bugs 269886 to 269914) to get a better feeling... -- Am Besten wäre natürlich, den Owner von /dev/usbkabel ;-) zu überprüfen *g* Dieses Device ist IMHO aber erst im neuen Kernel vorgesehen.

[opensuse] eth0 become eth1 after upgraded
Dear all I've upgraded SuSE 10.2 workstation by changed the motherboard. Both the old motherboard and the new one have on-board ether card. After reboot, ether network stopped working. I go to Yast - Network devices - Network card and see two cards there. I remove the old on-board card and select the new on-board card to configure it using DHCP. Reboot the machine I got the new card working as eth1. /sbin/ifconfig -a shows I have only 3 interfaces, eth1, lo, sit0. Then my vmplayer stopped working and complain ether network bridge is not available. Reading vmplayer document I discovered vmplayer always try to build ether network bridge using the first ethernet device, presumably eth0. My eth0 no longer exist and that's why vmplayer doesn't work. The suggested solution is to let me start VMWorkstation and configure it to use eth1. But I don't have VMWorkstation, it's too expensive for me, if I buy a copy of VMWorkstation to fix this issue I can use the money to buy some new computers! Then next solution I think is to make SuSE use ifname eth0 for the new on-bard card. I noticed dmesg said something strange: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ dmesg | grep -i eth 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.27 eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xf0a16400, 00:13:8f:dd:cc:03, IRQ 201 eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8101' eth0 renamed to eth1 eth1: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 bridge-eth0: peer interface eth0 not found, will wait for it to come up bridge-eth0: attached Seems the on-board card /was/ eth0, it's getting renamed to eth1 for some reason. This behavior is not noticed on other distros. I think I can solve my problem by disabling this rename. I am using traditional ifup and I tried using Network Manager wouldn't help (rename still happen). How can I disable renaming eth0 to eth1? Unfortunately vmplayer is vital to my business; I cannot live a week without Windows that runs on it (live a day without Windows is okay). Too many business application rely on it. Name a few: taobao (monoplay c2c online-trading site in China), governmental tax office website (if I say I cannot pay tax because they require windows, I'll eat tickets), mandatory ICP registration website (without it the website is blocked by GFW). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules and delete/rename cards
as appropriate so that the MAC address and netiface name are what you want.
Example:
SUBSYSTEM==net, ACTION==add, SYSFS{address}==00:13:d4:b6:ec:44,
IMPORT=/lib/udev/rename_netiface %k eth0
Then reboot.
Hope this helps.

[opensuse] problem with some of the latest kde3 backports
Hi, I'm using OpenSuSE 10.2 with KDE3.5.7 from the backports repository and have have very few problems until recently. One of the last updates seems to have a missing symbol ( StatusBarNetworkStatusIndicator constructor ) and it is not so clear which library that this should be available from (it does not seem to be a standard KDE3 class).

[opensuse] Cashier Machine for OpenSuSE Linux
Dear my friends, Our company is developing an application for POS. It includes: Cashier Machine, Barcode reader, Cash Drawer, Credit Card reader and inventory+repository. It's basically a PC but equipped with the devices for a kind of shop. We are insist to make opensuse as the priority of its platform. And we need to buy the machine as the development environment. They are: 1. PC Desktop; 2. Barcode reader; 3. Cash Drawer; 4. Credit card reader. So now, the question is which devices we should choose to buy so we do not have too much work to build the application because our Development Time Frame is not enough to also build the device driver, typical device manager software and so on. If it's possible please also give me the information to buy the device from. Virtual shop (website) is also OK. We are in Indonesia as the hint if you have the information of the shop where we can buy the device in offline-way.

I can access media:/sr0 through Konqueror and when I enter media:///sr0 in Konqueror it redirects me to media:/sr0. Services Manager in kcontrol does indicate the KDED Media Manager is running.

I was looking into this area a few years ago, as i was in the progress of
starting my own company.
There were quite a few POS applications for Linux.
IF you decide in developing you own propriety system it shouldn't be much of
a problem either.
Have you made any searches online?
http://www.google.com/search?client=safarirls=en-usq=Linux+point+of+sale+systemie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8
yields a lot of interesting hits.
There is a Swedish company called Torex that does POS systems for restaurants,
complete with scanners, touchscreens, creditcards and such.
They service /amon others) Hotels, Fashion, Giftshops, Fastfood and a lot
more.
They run their application on either Windows or Linux platforms.
Fast and easy to learn, Very versatile.

Re: [opensuse] Cashier Machine for OpenSuSE Linux
Hi Patrik, We are insist to make opensuse as the priority of its platform. And we need to buy the machine as the development environment. They are: 1. PC Desktop; 2. Barcode reader; 3. Cash Drawer; 4. Credit card reader. If the programming language is Java, there is JavaPOS - which is platform independent and almost all device providers have JavaPOS drivers these days. These drivers support enable/disable etc. so instead of using wedge-device settings for the readers you can actually control them properly. For the credit card, you're on your own. Most of these talk quite specific APIs but there is an open cash point solution from some guy in Venezuela but the name escapes my memory at the moment. For disclosure, I work for a software company specialising on writing POS software. We use JavaPOS (obviously) and Linux (IRES or NLPOS) or WEPOS (or embedded XP or Win2k before that). IBM has excellent POS machines with SuSE and JavaPOS support. They also have an integrated till build environment called IRES (which uses SLES9/NLDesktop 9)(IRES stands for IBM Retail Environment for SuSE). For OpenSUSE, I'm not sure if any hardware vendor would be ready to support it. Unfortunately they only see SLES/RHEL as viable distributions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, based on what I have read, during the installation, it asks you to choose your desktop (KDE, GNOME, XFCE, or whatever). While I don't have any distribution installed at present, previous installations allowed you to choose the desktop you wanted to use when you booted. Is there a way to install all available desktops/windows managers and then choose the one you want to use when you boot /*You can install as many desktops as you wish, after the install*/ and then chose the one you wish to use, when you log in. In fact, you can log in to more than once and have a different desktop on each one at the same time. Can you let me know how to do that (bolded and italicized above). I attempted to install Suse 10.2 again tonight and it makes you select which desktop you want to install...Gnome, KDE or other. It does not give you a choice of installing all in order to choose which one you want to use at boot up.. :( Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [opensuse] Problems unmounting optical Disks (DVD/CD)
I solved, well almost resolved my problem, just press the eject button on the drive. It took me the entire day to arrive at this solution.

Is there a document that explains how the whole mechanism for mounting media under KDE? How is it setup? How can I customize it to work for me? For a front end I am using the media applet.

I have look through the KDE manuals but have not found any information at the system level. For example how do I change media:///sr0 to media:/sr0 (I am not even sure if this is necessary) I have been using open source os for nine years (FreeBSD for most of that time) I have been sticking with the mount and umount at the CLI. The automount function in my laptop just seem to work both. This current system, running OpenSUSE 10.2, has been a nightmare one problem after another.
