Re: [opensuse] Introduction and SuSEguide idea
Matt Downs wrote: I think it would be very helpful if SuSE had something as straightforward as the ubuntuguide...a SuSEguide. The first part would help users set up YaST with extra repos (like Guru and Packman and anything else that might be needed or useful), and also do the same with apt4rpm or yum or the other popular package managers used by SuSE. The next part would, like the ubuntuguide, go through and help setup things like codec support, java, and various programs and apps that users might want but not know how to get. The idea would be to have something that is super repetitive, so that the processes will become second nature to the user. I think such a SuSEguide would be really helpful to new users and Windows-converts and for the older newbs (like me) who might have forgotten how things work in SuSE after trying out other distros. I would be interested in writing something like this together with you on the wiki. What should we call it? "SUSEguide"?

This is for mandrake but a similar text to be included under install would be very helpful indeed. One thing that I've also found irritating is that during installation I'm asked to select language and region, however, I still have to manually select the relevant language modules and change the default "US" setting on my apps and desktop. It would be great if the information I select at the outset could be used to preselect the related modules and reset the default settings on the selected apps.

And if you call Microsoft for those drivers, they will laugh at you. So in reality, we have better driver support in the Linux community. As far as those stinkin manufacturers, those that *supply* those Windows drivers should be supplying the drivers for Linux as well. So very true. I am not a fanatic.

Re: [opensuse] www.betterdesktop.org
Where can we submit suggestions for better usability? For instance there is this two things with the default KDE setup in SUSE that must be very confusing for new users of SUSE. 1: The use of the round green gecko button. If you look at the default desktop on SUSE the same button is found in three different places on the desktop. But it has three different functions. The three different functions are: Suse watcher(YOU), KMenu(Kicker), SUSE Greeter. 2: The use of the word "Control Center" in the KMenu. One leads to the KDE Control Center the other to Yast. This is not good usability in my opinion. This is not meant as a flame of SUSE but as constructive pointers. If this is not the right forum.

Re: [opensuse] RPM dependency hell: back to the drawing board?
Janne Karhunen wrote: RPM is a powerful tool for system administrator, but as ironic as it is, end user is much happier with windows installer :/. Or CNR in Linspire... ;p I really think dependency hell could be avoided if the Open source community could begin to consolidate a few things. Take bugzilla for instance. Why hasn't anyone come up with the idea of making bugs easily available across distros and up and downstream searchable/redirectable? This way if a bug is filed in the wrong place we could redirect the bug to the right place without need for filing the bug again. Also if the bug is reported in different places or indeed is filed in several distros by different users we could more easily see where we should put our focus. Or if this is a up or downstream issue. If we transfer this kind of thinking to dependency issues, it would probably start solving itself in a short manner of time. Another Idea I'm thinking of is making the package managers do the dependency searches for you. Instead of letting a newbie search the web for a package he is missing. download it, install it and find that he is missing yet another package. The RPM could search the web for the user and come back with a dialog like this: "You are missing package x. We can't find this package in your repos. But this package [package name X], found at www.example.org seems to be what you are missing. Should YAST download this package and install it for you? YES / NO NOTE: This may not be safe to do... blah blah blah. But if you have configured Apparmor correctly you should be reasonably protected against system failure."

Regards Christoph NOTE: Before you read any further I have to say I am not in favor of either KDE or Gnome. *Question:* What is gained by only defaulting to Gnome? *Answer:* Nothing. If the only difference after this announcement is that Gnome is the default (as in, you have to actively choose to install KDE instead). Then you still have to support your customers for both desktops. Since some people just can't seem to default install anything. That again leads to; no more people that can be laid of, which in turn leads to no new growth. In other words there is no money saved. So unless Novell just thought they would shake things up a bit, for fun, - And wasn't thinking about money, KDE is indeed gone. Maybe not this year or the next, but it'll all go in the end.

[opensuse] Adressing SUSEs weakness
WARNING: Long e-mail. I have still not seen a good explanation of how you should install SUSE 10.1 on the website. Therefore I have put this up on the wiki in plain sight: '''BEFORE YOU INSTALL READ THIS:''' The package manager in SUSE 10.1 is regrettably broken on most systems. To correct this you should do the following after you have installed SUSE: * Open Yast chose "online update configuration" , click next and wait until finished. * Press the updater icon on you taskbar/panel * If it updates, congratulations, all is well. * If it throws up an error. Close it. * Install the alternativ package manager/updater SMART. Read the how to [[SMART HowTO|here]] You probably also want to read about [[Using_10.1|Using 10.1]] and the [[Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs#SUSE_Linux_10.1_.28Final.29|Most Annoying Bugs]]. Do with it as you please. I think it's a start. We must admit our weaknesses before we can be truly strong. The reason for this is as follows: There were only two places on the opensuse website about how to make the package management work: Opensuse.org -> Download SUSE Linux -> Scroll abit -> Click Most annoying Bugs -> Click SUSE Linux 10.1 (Final) And even though It is the first bug to hit you after you install SUSE 10.1 It's pushed back to second place. And what does it say? Fixed with first package management update (please install using YaST Online Update for instance via "kdesu yast2 online_update"): It says that it's "Fixed"! You got to be kidding! Or you could go to: Opensuse.org -> Download SUSE Linux -> Scroll abit -> Click "Using 10.1" -> Read a long and not very consise article about all the strange things that aren't working in suse until you come to Work around. Where it doesn't really say what to do or how unless you clik -> SMART. Phew! Hope this stirs things up. -- Regards Kenneth Aar begin:vcard fn:Kenneth Aar n:Aar;Kenneth org:Grafikern.no adr:;;Hasselbakken;Tangen;Hedmark;2337;Norge email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Grafisk/Web Designer tel;work:92899989 tel;fax:92575725 tel;cell:92899989 x-mozilla-html:TRUE url:http://www.grafikern.no version:2.1 end:vcard
