[opensuse-factory] The new Slab for openSUSE 11.0
I saw you had plans to implement the new Slab for the upcoming openSUSE 11.0. When you will push it into Factory? I can't wait to see it and test it, so I'm asking :) Cheers! -- Igor Jagec signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

[opensuse-factory] security update policy
Hi, I'm wondering if there is any internal policy at Novell about security updates for Factory? I just found an example what shouldn't happen: MozillaThunderbird is on version 2.0.0.9 on 10.3-updates while it's still on 2.0.0.6 in Factory. Since in 10.3 it was a security update I wonder why it can be that it's still old in Factory. I would expect a policy that Factory should get necessary updates at around the same time.

[opensuse-factory] Radeon Xpress 1250 resolution problems
I have a Acer TravelMate 7520 which has the above video on board. After
installing 11.0 Alpha0 (since upgraded to latest Factory) and I can only
get 800x600 with the fbdev driver that was done as part of the install.
I've since installed ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run, but it
hangs at the cursor {*} after switching to kdm.

I haven't configure anything related to that intentionally. The sdb and sdc are two disks with each 1.7 TB, it is just that sdb is divided into a lot partitions where sdc is just one large partition. I have no idea why it should but maybe it depends somehow on the size of the partition? I have the disks connected via SCSI to another 10.2 box, there does the /etc/blkid.tab file not exist, and I can just mount /dev/sdc1 there. dm_mod module is loaded on both systems. also a rpm -qf /etc/blkid.tab says file /etc/blkid.tab is not owned by any package.

[opensuse] Access a remote openSuSE installation sitting behind NAT
Hi! I have recently installed a fresh openSuSE 10.3 for one of my friends who mainly uses his box to browse the Internet and has little technical skills. It seems like he has some problems with the sound card setup and I would like to investigate but have no access to the computer (ie. physical) and though on broadband the machine is behind a NAT (and possibly a firewall) with no public IP so can't connect to it either. Is there a way that I could access the machine (ssh, vnc) with as little user intervention as possible (ideally just a simple command).

Re: [opensuse] Access a remote openSuSE installation sitting behind NAT
Hello! Yup, crude solution but it seems to work very well. Thanks! Though I wonder now if there is any way to do that is I didn't have a public IP server at hand (ie. two machines behind NAT with no influence on the Firewall). More out of curiosity since the problem at hand has now been solved. Cheers!

One other thing, if the bios supports Kiosk mode, you don't need a mouse or kboard, either. I think most modern pc's will roll over that anyway, but they used to hang forever without a keyboard.

[opensuse] BUG - in spamassassin sa-learn causing Kernel Errors
Listmates, I don't know whether this is a openSuSE bug or an Apache bug with spamassassin. Spamassassin's sa-learn is doing something that causes kernel errors. Take a look and let me know if I should file it with Novell or Apache. I would normally think it would just be Apache, but if it is getting to the kernel, Novell may be the right place.

It came right when I used createrepo to index the repository. The descriptions you see are contained in the rpm itself and createrepo places them in a gz compressed xml file in the repository. This is what takes a lot of time to download when a large repository refreshes. Following your suggestion, I'm considering copying the DVD to harddisk, then running createrepo against the HD version. Too bad the live DVD ships with this problem. Doubly unfortunate that the SuSE team's policy is to leave flawed/broken distributions as is. It seems that this could be an easy thing to fix as a 10.3.01 release. While they were at it they could fix the broken link in YAST2's add community repositories application.

Let me know if you'd like further assistance. My problem with smart is, it complains about keys for quite a few packages in my local repo and I have to press enter for each complaint. I tried entering a few keyservers and downloading every pgp key I found in the online repositories, after reading smart's online help, but still no luck.

Use DCOP to instruct (the correct) Kate to open the selected file. Here is a way to do it (with some quick'n'ugly scripts): First make a directory to keep some tempfiles mkdir ~/.kate_pid then we make 2 bash scripts, put them in your ~/bin/ or where ever you fancy. 1: start_kate.sh cut here--- #!/bin/bash # Get current virtual desktop VIRT_DESKTOP=$(dcop kwin KWinInterface currentDesktop) #Now we start kate with all the arguments that we recived kate $@ echo -n $! ~/.kate_pid/kate_pid.$VIRT_DESKTOP exit 0; cut here--- 2: kate_open_file.sh cut here--- #!/bin/bash # The encoding used, utf8 is the usual one ENCODING=utf8 # We need to find out which virtual destop we are on VIRT_DESKTOP=$(dcop kwin KWinInterface currentDesktop) # We need to see if there is a pid file for that desktop if [ -f ~/.kate_pid/kate_pid.$VIRT_DESKTOP ] ; then #Yes there was, now we need to check if the kate process #belonging to that pid is still alive #First find the pid KATE_PID=$(cat ~/.kate_pid/kate_pid.$VIRT_DESKTOP) if [ $(dcop kate-$KATE_PID /dev/null 21; echo $?) -gt 0 ] ; then #No it is not, so we start it kate $@ # and record the pid for reuse echo -n $! ~/.kate_pid/kate_pid.$VIRT_DESKTOP else # now some DCOP magic dcop kate-$KATE_PID KateApplication openURL $1 $ENCODING fi else #there was no kate_pid file so we start kate. kate $@ # and record the pid for reuse echo -n $! ~/.kate_pid/kate_pid.$VIRT_DESKTOP fi cut here--- Use the start_kate.sh wrapper to start Kate on a virtual desktop.

[opensuse-packaging] 64bit problem with package cgicc-3.2.3 in openSUSE10.3
Hi, I'm new to openSUSE development and I have a question about how to get a package updated in a distribution of openSUSE. Currently openSUSE10.3 includes package cgicc-3.2.3, but there's a known bug in that version of cgicc that impacts execution in a 64-bit environment. This bug is fixed in cgicc-3.2.4 (and I've tested the fix on openSUSE10.3) so I would like that package updated in the official distribution, but I don't know who to ask to get this done. The RPMs I built were named: cgicc-3.2.4-3.x86_64.rpm cgicc-devel-3.2.4-3.x86_64.rpm I found the list of issues fixed in cgicc-3.2.4 at: http://fresh.t-systems-sfr.com/unix/www/cgicc-3.2.4.tar.gz:a/cgicc-3.2.4 /NEWS Thanks...
