Anyway, this would need to be configurable: * Try automatically * Max tries (for not to end up in a loop) * Time wait Another thing is that as it downloads one file, installs it, downloads another, installs it... if it stops midway the system remains in an undefined state: for instance, not RC1, not RC2.

I can't find a bugzilla option or button for that. Enter new bug, perhaps? Then what? Choose enhancement in the severity drop list? Sorry, I have never done that, and the FAQ doesn't explain it. In the end, I told it to reboot, or perhaps halt; in any case, it halted. I booted again, and I saw the system running a long filesystem check because the root partition had not been cleanly umounted. I thought this was a known bug with the RC1 DVD, but not with the installed system. Yes, it was a bug in RC1 when rebooting from First Stage to Second Stage of the installation. Sometimes, there were two processes running under the /mnt path (/mnt == Installation chroot). These processes were: 'ntpd' and 'dhcpcd'. I remember that. But this was not the install system, but the already installed system. How exactly did you rebooted the system? - From inside kde user session, choose halt or reboot. My intention was to select reboot, but maybe I miss-clicked and choose halt. In any case, the system halted. Then I powered up again, and saw the fsck messages. Notice that after a large YOU update, like from RC1 to RC2, many libraries and programs have a different version on disk and in memory. Many things could fail. I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that in a minimal installation I saw something like: reboot: fuser: command not found And 'fuser' is a command that can list or even kill processes running depending on the directory that they have open. Please, write mote details, you can additionally inspect the end of YaST logs: /var/log/YaST2/y2log But Yast was not running when I rebooted. The YOU session finished without saying anything, but I knew a reboot was in order, so I did. I don't think there will be anything in the Yast log, nor in any other log, as it will have been a problem with the rc or halt scripts: as the system is not cleanly umounted and flushed, the last entries in the logs, if any, will be in the syslog memory or kernel buffers and lost.

I've used openSUSE 10.3 since Alpha 5 or so, and I guess all the refreshes of factory and KDE4 cluttered the cache files, because when I ran the steps above it pretty much cut my file sizes in half and Yast package management once again ran as fast as when I initially installed 10.3. I also posted it on suseforums.net for feedback, and it seems to be positive. I understand that factory refreshes place a non-standard load on the package manager, and that most users of 10.3 Final will not be placing as high a load on the package manager, but if this addresses a flaw that is intrinsic to the way zypper and rpm operate, is it worth maybe creating a standard script via cron job that cleans the package manager on a regular basis (weekly, monthly, whatever) ? Just one side note. My Laptop has 256MB only. A 512MB or 1GB machine would have not that much time difference, just because the files are larger. The machine is also from 2002, newer harddisk might be faster. rpm --rebuilddb ... I guess running it once every 1000 package updates is sufficient.

Our current idea is to do it on refresh but using a time threshold. And making it configurable of course. More ideas are welcome. Is it safe to assume the cleanup intensity is dependent upon the level of fragmentation and time between cleanups? Just a thought, but would it maybe make sense to add the cleanup process as a SuSEconfig function, to run after package installation? Not that we should really strive to make SuSEconfig take even longer than it does already, but users are already conditioned to waiting for that process to run after Yast completes, they'd have a visual indication as to what is occurring, and if it runs regularly then would the cleanup procedure be quicker and less intense? Power users could of course disable it or run it at the time of their choosing, but maybe as a default setting it may not be too much of a load.

That's why I'm actually doing it the CUPS way and i'd really like to get it working that way. So i really appreciate everybody's help to get my printer shared and accessible to Windows clients. Well if you do not care about authentication, either smb or ipp works. I tried: lppasswd -a 'Ron Eggler' and got this: lppasswd is not required in 10.2, it will use PAM. but still i would like to not use it. That's what I said.

Everything works fine except when I go to print and select NO when it asks if I want to print a form letter, it does not give me the database screen to select who I want on the envelopes. If I say print I get an envelope with the form fields in the addressee area. If I select yes it shows the database and I can select unique people to address the envelopes for but it also inserts a blank document page. How do I just print envelopes using my database to select who I print them for?? I must be missing something. When I put my cursor over the field (ie First Name) it shows the link to the database correctly. Any hints would be appreciated. I you just want print envelopes and the envelope is the first thing in the document, just select page 1 for printing when you get to the print dialog. I use envelope printing a lot. What I did is to create a couple of templates for the two size envelopes I use. I made a logo with draw with my return address, I adjusted the page size and wrote the field to be fill with mail merge, create also a couple of frames to add pictures or attn: and setup the printing features for my printer like format size, feeding tray, no duplex, paper: envelope etc. Then save it as template. Now I want to print an envelope and just look at templates click and done. If you want to go in that direction I can help you and even send you one of my templates.

[opensuse] HP Printer PSC1315
Hi, I am trying to make my printer work wit opensuse 10.3. Seems to be detected correctly but there is no PSC 1315 (or 1310 series) in the drivers list. I checked the opensuse site and it says that it is supported. The only similar one is PhotoSmart P1315, but I don't think is the same (I tested it just in case and it would work). I have the hplip-hpijs 2.7.7 package. Am I missing something? Also when I try to detect the scanner with the yast utility, it stays in the Detect USB and SCSI scanners for ever (well, I actually get tired waiting cause I wouldn't expect to be that long).

[opensuse] Dell Notebook
I have a friend that has a Dell notebook that is a Windows holdout. However, he keeps seeing my setup at home and listening to me tout SuSE and he sent me a question recently that I simply can't answer. Will it work on his machine? This is the information he sent me: The info on this machine is: Dell Inspiron 1521 - AMD Turion X2 1.6 Ghz processor, 2 Gb RAM, 160 Gb HD, Sigma Tel high def audio codec, ATI Radeon X1270 video, Broadcomm wireless 802.11b/g. The SUSE 10.2 Live dvd had everything working except the sound and the wireless. I was wondering if anyone in the SUSE forums had this configuration and had everything working under 10.2? Any information about how well 10.2 in particular performs on the above hardware ESPECIALLY multimedia. He listens to MP3's and watches *.avi and DVDs and even plugs his stereo into the line out jack so he can listen to his CD collections he has captured on disk.He currently uses Windows and if 10.2 works well with his specific hardware, I believe he will now join the ranks of EX Windows. I would also be interested in how 10.3 B3 and later work though from testing on my home machines (not Dell), I am not sure it is quite ready for prime time. It has 'eaten' my drives, hidden my cursor, blanked my sound, and while I'm willing to test and try to debug 10.3, I'm not sure it is quite ready for someone so currently Windows centric but 'looking'.

As I posted in another post..I CAN dial into a local ISP and a FAX machine, but can't connect. Fred Fred, this is obviously a negotiation problem. I too have experienced this before and I have found myself wondering about it. Line quality can do this. House wiring can do this. I have had it where I connect 100% some days and 10% on others. I don't know what else to tell you on this. If you are dialing and are connecting, but not negotiating a final connection, I would check the condition of the patch cable I'm using, make sure there aren't balls of dust in the jack, and finally look for a neighbor that works for the phone company and trade a couple of beers for him bringing all the cool tools over to check.
