[opensuse-factory] Package Management: What am I missing?

2006-04-01 Thread Alexander Antoniades
I've been overall very impressed with the quality of the betas, but
each time I run into a roadblock on getting ANY new packages.

Specifically can someone tell me HOW DO I INSTALL NEW PACKAGES?

I've tried rug, zen, and yast but nothing responds or they just hang.
Does anything work?

Can someone please give me explicit instructions on how to update beta9?

Thanks,

Sander

[opensuse-factory] setting up factory source with rug

2006-04-01 Thread Philipp Wollermann
Hello,

before I report this as a bug, I want to make sure, I configured everything 
correctly. I tried to switch over to the factory source after I installed 
Beta9 from scratch. I first tried this with the yast installation source 
manager but this didn't work. I stepped over a bug I have reported (Bug 
#162751) and when I finally got the factory source in the list, the yast 
software management wasn't able to find just a single package.

I then emptied the list of installation sources and tried to add it with rug:

acer:~ # rug sa --type=yum 
http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse 
factory
acer:~ # rug sub factory
acer:~ # rug catalogs

Sub'd? | Name| Service
---+-+
Yes| factory | factory
acer:~ # rug in vte-devel
ERROR: Can not find resolvable 'vte-devel'

The package vte-devel does exist in this source, I verified it by looking into 
the primary.xml.gz, the RPM file was also there.

It seems my installation source management is completely broken, I can't even 
delete the factory-source in yast anymore, I click delete and finish but it 
reappears there everytime I launch yast installation source management ...

Naturaly you will never really know what the last CD will be. When I tried
CD 1+2 it also did not work with 0.26

The reverse order is just a gimmick, so you see CD5, CD4, ... However a
different order should not be the the cause of the problem.

So for me it is not a real solution to the problem. Next version might be
that the naming is such that the extra ISO is again last.
e.g. now it is:
SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta9-Addon-BiArch.iso
SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta9-i386-CD1.iso
...
SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta9-i386-CD5.iso
What if the next CD is called 
SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta9-non-oss.iso ( or SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta9-NON-OSS.iso)
then you have a different order. Or what if they renamed their CD's, or
use real CD's and put them in in random order (with the -c option).

Also it could be that a person wants to use his own CD that he made and
gave it whatever name. That is the difference with your script and mine.
You only have to work for you, mine has to work for the rest of the world.
;-)

So many reasons that it is not a real solution.

Still thanks and if anybody from SUSE can give some feedback, that would
also be great.

Interesting. I'll have a good look to see why it came up with that
error. In theory, it shouldn't since mkisofs is passed the same
directory that create_package_descr uses. Try re-running it without
specifying either --temp-dir or  --dest-dir. They're not strictly needed
as, if they aren't specified, the script will pick present directory by
default.

The 0.27 script failed again.

I guess that I've just compared the ./content files on the one produced
by my script, and that produced by yours and your script has the add-on
CD content file whereas mine has the file from the last CD image
processed, which would be CD5 when using the full set.

I've edited the 0.27 script so it doesn't work in reverse order[0],
built another DVD image, tested it and it seems to have worked.

It is half the fun. :-)
I asume the difference is that I CD's in reversed order. I have a working
version, I think. http://houghi.org/script/makeSUSEdvd
It would be nice if some people could verify that it works, or not.

I test in a VM manager, otherwise  I would have burned abut 20-40 DVD's
already. :-)

After verification, I will put 0.27 online at SF and remove the one above.

Comparing them, there doesn't seem to be much difference although there
must be some since, after some tweaking to get it working with multiple
different directories, the DVD your script created was about 13Mb
smaller than the one mine made.

I've yet to actually test it out by trying an install  and will let you

I mean of reparing an install. with lilo it's trivial

I begin a page there (sorry for non french readers)

http://fr.opensuse.org/Utiliser_les_disquettes

as I'm on this subject, I pretty sure it's possible to lauch
linux from a rescue cd with such a thing as mounting root,
chrooting and using a command a forgot what one??

thanks grub.conf is the main part, wrtiting a small script

It's not a "problem with grub". It's a problem with Windows.
grub is stored in the MBR, so when the MBR is just overwritten by
Windows, obviously, grub is not in the MBR any more.

Use the installation CD and select "boot installed system", then log in
as root and

  grub < /etc/grub.conf

should do.
(not sure about this, as I haven't used Windows for years, my MBR hasn't
been overwritten since quite some time ;))
If someone can confirm or correct, please do so.

Blame Windows, not grub or Linux.

Although I agree, the repair option is really hard to find, far from
being obvious.

Maybe the repair mode should be moved to the GRUB menu of CD 1 (could be
done, as you can set variables in the grub menu entry that will be
passed as environment variables, AFAICR).

The rescue system is very helpful for experienced users, but is pretty
useless for beginners (having YaST2 with ncurses frontend on the rescue
system would be great though).

Well it also depends on where you choose to put grub.
It can also be installed into the activated partition, or on a floppy,
etc...
It's not that simple.

There must have been a party in Nurnberg, because normaly people are

I have tried removing $CD_DIR/content.* and $CD_DIR/media.1/products.* and

[opensuse-factory] grub re-install

* there is a problem with grub (old flavor, don't know for
the new), when the MBR is erased for some reason (windows
install, for example), grub don't works anymore.

Yast have an option to correct this, but it's very hard to
find (under repair) - of course installation yast, given
your linux don't boot no more :-(.

however it's often possible to boot the linux install, for
example with a grub boot disk. but then it's not clear how
to fix grub. needs launching yast and founding the option to
write back the MBR.

could it be possible to write with yast, when writing the
initial grub configuration a small script ("grub-mbr"?) to
rewrite the mbr without lauching yast? If this could be run
from a rescue cd, it would be even better (you know, like
"lilo", or chroot /mnt lilo)

Mandrake used to have such thing right from the install cd
boot menu...

thanks

10.1 comes with KDE 3.5.1. Only the KDE technology for handling removable 
media is used by default. 

Since you have obviously updated 10.0 to an "unsupported" KDE version you can 
easily disable the SuSEplugger or wichever you prefer.

Since you seem to have a lot of questions and ideas for 10.1 I'd suggest 
making a 4-8 gb partition and trying out the beta for yourself. Package 
manager aside it's very nice.

[opensuse-factory] SUSEPlugger or KDEPlugger?

2006-04-01 Thread Nathaniel Dube
I noticed the newer KDE has a little doo-dad that does the same thing as 
SUSEPlugger.  I don't know if I'm using the proper terms, but when you put in 
a CD, camera, etc a window pops up asking you what you want to do.  If SUSE 
10.1 is coming with the newer KDE how is SUSE going to deal with two 
technologies that does the same thing?

If you update KDE on SUSE 10.0 you have two things popping up when I put media 
in.  It's kind of annoying.  How will this be handled in SUSE 10.1  I hope I 
explained this clearly.

As always: The CDs don't have all packages because of limited disk 
space.

You can find the remaining packages on the FTP server (ftp.opensuse.org, 
better use a mirror) - http://en.opensuse.org/Download

I tip my hat to the creators of the SomeFool virus, for actually (albeit

that's the most damage I can get by running viruses with Wine under a

to go before Wine is truly Windows compatible.

[opensuse-factory] Broken Packages Due to Patent Laws

2006-04-01 Thread Nathaniel Dube
I was wondering if anyone could give me a list of every package that is broken 
in SUSE off the shelf due to patent laws.  I all ready know a few of the 
multimedia packages are, but I'm looking for a complete list.

No. 10.1 is late in development. Feature freeze was almost 2 months ago. No 
newer software will be included - and thus "supported". 

However I guess you can expect future kmymoney-releases to turn up on the 
supplementary kde-update repository - and perhaps also on 3. party packager's 
repositories (Oc2pus currently has kmymoney 0.8.3).

[opensuse-factory] KMyMoney & OFX/Online Banking

2006-04-01 Thread Nathaniel Dube
KMyMoney 0.9CVS now has online banking support.  I can now download my 
statements from USAA with this nice piece of software.  This version I 
believe is still in testing.  I had to download it through APT to get this 
version as well as some other banking crap to make the dependencies happy.

My question is, will I see this newer version in the up coming SUSE 10.1?  
Getting the info and installing the newer one and finding all the 
dependencies was a real bitch.  It would be nice if the newer kmymoney came 
with SUSE 10.1 then me and others don't have to hunt this crap down.

Thanks

[opensuse-factory] Can't find tomcat5-webapps on beta9

2006-04-01 Thread James PEARSON
Hello all

I just installed SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta9 and I wanted to install and test
the apache2 - tomcat5 - mod_jk_ap20 connector combination. 

I found and installed apache2  and mod_jk_ap20 connector OK but I can't
find tomcat5-webapps on the CDs. 


Is this normal? Can someone tell me where I can download
tomcat5-webapps ?

TIA
James

Bugreports for 10.0 are not high priority any more - mainly security fixes are 
done. 

10.1 is late in development process - except for the package manager. You 
should try that out and report the problems you might have with that - if any 
- that would be a lot more helpful:

As an extra, if you change the following in create_package_descr, you
won't get an error on find:

Sigh. Still the same error even after making new MD5SUMS. It still asks to
insert a CD when I add something. :-(

So what has changed please? How can I add extra stuff to the CD?
