[opensuse-factory] X broke in 10.3?

2007-12-22 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I have an HP Compaq nc6220 laptop display resolution 1400x1050. Intel GMA900
 graphics. I praised SuSE always in previous releases because it was the only
 distribution that correctly supported the resolution out of the box with no
 hacks needed. Now in 10.3 it broke. To make the resolution work each time I
 reload x server I need to use RandR to set the resolution. It defaults to
 1152x786 58hz. When I run SaX test it also says Screen (0) 1152 x 786
 however everything is configured right. Why did this break???

[opensuse-factory] Misleading zypper error message

2007-12-22 Thread Joerg Mayer

Hello,

A recent zypper dup removed the gpg2 package from my system (I have no
idea why). When I later tried to update again I ended up with the following
error:

I'd say, that depends. If rpm -V zypper libzypp is silent, then it's a bug in 
the package. But if the gpg2 is a missing dependency, then it's your fault / 
usual factory problem.

BTW: x86_64 still shows these problems as gpg2 is having issues - most likely
with the openldap update.

2007-12-22 Thread Toni Harbaugh-Blackford



ppc appears to be stuck *again*, sigh.

I wouldn't be so picky about this, except that at the moment ppc 
factory is uninstallable
because of bug 346872.  This is *technically* marked as fixed in 
libzypp-4.1.6, which

was committed on 12/17.  But as yet libzypp-4.1.6 hasn't made it to
any part of the factory that I can see, although other items that were 
committed
at about the same time *have* made it (at least to the other 
architectures).


Does anybody have any idea what is up with the ppc factory sync, and 
also

libzypp-4.1.6?

Thanks,
Toni

Hi,

It was not synced out for more than a week, while x86 was regularly

Don't worry. If it has been synced out, it would still be uninstallable
for other reasons :)

It's just the way factory works, the chance it works is still pretty high
for the many things that can go wrong.

But for your very specific problem, libzypp 4.1.6 does not build:
if you have a build service account, see

Nope, but you can do it two ways:

1. Edit /etc/inittab and change the default init to 3, or
2. Start yast2 change in System/sysconfig-Editor/Desktop/Display

 they do not affect each other.  The variable only tells cron to report

Hmmm. Something magic must have happened. The cron job ran and the

[opensuse] Software updates and repositories understanding

2007-12-22 Thread Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC)

Hi,

This has been bothering me for a long time as I am battling to
understand the usage of software repositories. I haven't been able to
find a reference in the fine manual of 10.2 that describes this , hence
my question.

I realise that the repositories are used for updates but why has some of
my software not been updated? I am also not expecting to get an update
from 10.2 to 10.3 but I would expect updates for the applications I use
on 10.2.

I am running 10.2 here and have the following YAST repositories loaded,
in the order they are listed:

opensuse.mirror.ac.za/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/non-oss/
ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/
www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/non-oss/
ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.suse.com/suse/update/10.2/  (YUM)
www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/
opensuse.mirror.ac.za/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/
ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/non-oss/
ftp.suse.compub/suse/update/10.2 (YUM)

Despite these repositories being loaded, and me complying to several
update requests via opensuse updater for various security updates, as
announced on opensuse-security, I am yet to receive an update(my version
in brackets) to openoffice(2.0.4), Thunderbird(1.5.0.12) and
Firefox(2.0.0.10). I realise the list I receive the notifications on is
for security so I do not expect it to come from there, but I do expect
opensuseupdater to advise me that there is a STABLE release/update for
some of the above installed software.

I would have thought that I would have had the latest stable releases as
I have oss and non-oss repositories loaded. I have read email about
releases for Firefox ?3?, Thunderbird ?2.5? and OO.org 2.3 and yet my
system does not have the updated version of the software?

If I scour the opensuse site and find stable repositories for the above
software, should I add them? I would assume yes as the existing ones
have not updated the software substantially,

Let us assume, without making an ass out of u and me, that I find the
repository for Openoffice of:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_10.2/

Before loading it is as a source I would load it into my browser. Here I
see there are several sub directories.
I would need to know where to end i.e. at the parent folder
..openSUSE_10.2/, or the ...openSUSE_10.2/repodata/ folder, the
...openSUSE_10.2/i586/ folder or in the ...openSUSE_10.2/noarch folder?
I would assume i586  but what is the difference between that and noarch?

Bear in mind that I want YAST to do all the downloading, extracting and
correct installing i.e. I am a GUI person and know not the path to true
light i.e. CLI, yet. But I'll cover that in another email :)

Help me understand or give me a link I can read to understand it.

TIA
P.S: I was unable to find anything to explain what I needed at opensuse
or TLDP.

My mistake. I just checked, and YaST does do an imap login as user cyrus to 
change settings

The problem here seems to be that you've changed the defaults. The default is 
to use pam, which will automatically find the system users in /etc/passwd 
and /etc/shadow, but you've changed it to use sasl, and told sasl to only use 
ldap. That means you also have to add the cyrus user to ldap

[opensuse] Software Update conflicts while introducing KDE4 applications

2007-12-22 Thread Philippe Landau

Hello

Without having switched to KDE4 i get conflicts
while trying to update OpenSuse 10.3.
Where does Suse store the list of repositories i use ?
I am using Main Repository OSS and non-OSS, nvidia, opensuse edu,
buildservice mozilla and opensuse 10.3 updates.
What do you recommend ?

Kind regards Philippe

Re: [opensuse] Software updates and repositories understanding

2007-12-22 Thread Anders Johansson

Hi,

Version updates for released products are extremely rare. Essentially, they
only happen when there is a serious bug or security problem, and a backport
of the fix is too complicated

So yes, if you really want updated versions of the software, you need to
either update to the latest suse release, or get the packages from the build
service, as you have found

Well, the path should end with the suse release, in this case openSUSE_10.2.
YaST will take care of finding the correct architecture. noarch means that
the packages in there work on all architectures. For example artwork
(background images, icons and such)

But by far the easiest is to use the one-click install, which is available for
10.2 as well. It will do all the work for you. Install

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE%3A/Tools/openSUSE_10.2/noarch/yast2-metapackage-handler-0.5.2-3.1.noarch.rpm

Then, when you search for software at http://software.opensuse.org/search and
you see the 1-click install button, you can click it and it will install
everything you need for you

Hi,

Alpine 1.00 has been finally released. It is the new version of the mail

Now it also has a web based user agent.


More info:

There is a suse repo here:

Or if you want to compile it yourselves, I use the allpatch version from

[opensuse] Graphics problem after fitting new Nvidia card

2007-12-22 Thread paul williamson

Hi all,

I fitted a new Nvidia 6200geforce (AGP) graphics card a few days ago, and
I saw this intermittent (maybe once a week) fault for the 3rd time today.

http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/phwilliamson/drawing2.png

I was running openSuse 10.3 at the time, but I have also seen the same fault 
in openSuse 10.2.

The first two times I saw it, I was using the latest release of the Nvidia
drivers, and this last time I was using the latest beta version of the
Nvidia drivers.

The machine has been fine in most other respects, and the card performs
well in 3D.  I have just occasionally had some corrupted text, which has
cleared if I force a re-draw.

The problem shown in the link requires a re-start of the x-server to cure
it.

My main hope is to find out if this is a hardware or driver problem.  I
also fitted 2 extra DDR400 memory modules at the same time, so is it
likely one of them is faulty ?

The card appears to perform well in Windows XP, but I use XP so little it
is not much of a test.  Only extensive use in XP would prove the point one
way or another.

Thanks in advance

 Hi,

 This has been bothering me for a long time as I am battling to
 understand the usage of software repositories. I haven't been able to
 find a reference in the fine manual of 10.2 that describes this , hence
 my question.

 I realise that the repositories are used for updates but why has some of
 my software not been updated? I am also not expecting to get an update
 from 10.2 to 10.3 but I would expect updates for the applications I use
 on 10.2.

Not exactly. It works  more or less like this: the main repository of
each release is frozen. It will not change versions. It was tested and
it will remains with this versions forever. They dont upgrade (people
say upgrade like goin from version 2.4 to 2.6), but there is a
repository called update for each release that has updates, being
updates small changes (like from 2.4.6-32a to 2.4.6-32b). Updates are
small changes, and they are made only for security and some bugfixing
purpose.

Thats the way it works, it wont get updated. Thats the whole purpose
of testing and stabilising a release: you integrate, test and release
those exact versions. Thats the right-way-to-do-it (TM).

Sometimes people need some more recent software. This situation is
kinda rare, most of time people want to upgrade with no reason (its a
disease called upgraditis). For providing those extra new software,
and some software that eventually is not in the main repository, for
any reason, there are the aditional or specific repositories, like the
Build service ones.

 I would have thought that I would have had the latest stable releases as
 I have oss and non-oss repositories loaded. I have read email about

No, as Ive said the policy is that the main repository is frozen.

 releases for Firefox ?3?, Thunderbird ?2.5? and OO.org 2.3 and yet my
 system does not have the updated version of the software?


You would need extra repositories. Or install 10.3... Some of those
stuff wont even be in 10.3, as they are more recent than the 10.3
release.

 If I scour the opensuse site and find stable repositories for the above
 software, should I add them?

The reasons to upgrade are usually to fix some bug you are having or
to get new features.

 I would assume yes as the existing ones
 have not updated the software substantially,

You can say that, but that doesnt mean its good enough to enter the
main repository, because it wasnt tested. You are on your own risk.

 Let us assume, without making an ass out of u and me, that I find the
 repository for Openoffice of:
 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_10.2/



 Before loading it is as a source I would load it into my browser. Here I
 see there are several sub directories.

Its good to load it in the browser for 2 reason: i) you know its
acessible (some rare repos dont let you list it in the browser) and
ii) identify if its really a source (like you've said, to identify
where the path ends). For YUM repos, like the ones in Buildservice it
ends in the path that contains the directory repodata.

Check http://opensuse-community.org/AddSource

 I would need to know where to end i.e. at the parent folder
 ..openSUSE_10.2/, or the ...openSUSE_10.2/repodata/ folder, the
 ...openSUSE_10.2/i586/ folder or in the ...openSUSE_10.2/noarch folder?
 I would assume i586  but what is the difference between that and noarch?


That collection of directories makes one repository. Noarch is just
the directory of the repo taht holds the packages that are the same in
any arch, for example, one containing wallpapers, themes.

 Bear in mind that I want YAST to do all the downloading, extracting and
 correct installing i.e. I am a GUI person and know not the path to true
 light i.e. CLI, yet. But I'll cover that in another email :)


Yast does that, in GUI, ncurses or command line, again check the link to o-c.org

On KDE (probably the same on Gnome) you run Compiz Fusion Icon. This puts an 
icon in the system tray that gives you direct access to the Settings Manager, 
Emerald Theme Manager and some other settings (with a right click on the 
system tray icon - left click does nothing).

Run Compiz Fusion Icon, then right click and check what window decorator is 
selected. You have the option of GTK, KDE or Emerald.

You may also want to experiment with the Loose Binding and Indirect Rendering 
options under Compiz Options (in the right-click menu). On my NVidia card I 
don't need either checked (using the proprietary drivers) whereas with the 
Intel chipset in my laptop I need both.

BTW, on my laptop I initially installed just the kde packages via 1-click but 
I had problems, so I went back and installed compiz-fusion-all. Once I 
figured out the best settings for each box it has worked flawlessly on both.

I am using KDE, not Gnome, so YMMV, but I'm sure there are plenty of Gnome 
users using it as well. I do have Gnome installed, I just rarely go there.

Rodney.
