I got no problems by now. 
Update from 10.2RC1 to GM went fine and there .
I consider above paragraph as self explanatory for the tone of the whole 
article. It is meant as advice to readers not to toss his choice in favor of 
openSUSE.

No, there is indeed an IA64 build of openSUSE, offered by SGI:

(Seems to be Factory only, no releases)

Re: [opensuse-factory] Cannot mount volumes on desktop (HAL permission problem)

2006-12-11 Thread Juan Erbes

2006/11/29, Émeric Maschino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Hi,

I have several volumes displayed on my desktop. But when I'm trying to
access one, I'm getting a dialog box saying:

Cannot mount volume.
Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy.

 Details say:

hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000

This is on an Itanium workstation (IA-64 architecture) running up-to-date
openSUSE Factory. Is this a (known) bug or are they corrective actions I can
try?
I don't know if it's related but I can see an error message at boot time
about udevd not being able to lookup the disk group.



I mean that You are wrong, because they are any openSUSE version for IA-64.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Cannot mount volumes on desktop (HAL permission problem)

2006-12-11 Thread Émeric Maschino

Hi,

Its unlikely.  Check to make sure you have hal with the appropriate fix.

rpm -q --changelog hal.




I can't find any reference to bug 221337 in the changelog of the hal package
installed on my system. The latest changelog is dated Friday November 17th,
2000 and is related to CPUFreq modules in initscript.

rpm -q hal says hal-0.5.8_git20061106-12 and my system is said up-to-date by
zmd or the add/remove programs application.

For memory, this is on an Itanium (IA-64 architecture) system.

Does hal-0.5.8_git20061106-12 includes the patches needed to fix bug 221337?

Cheers,

   Emeric


[opensuse-factory] What to do with the bad package mngr reviews

2006-12-11 Thread Richard Bos
What to do with the bad package mngr reviews [1,2].  Should there be bug 
reports for it, or is it already handled by the opensuse devs?

[1] http://www.linuxforums.org/reviews/suse_10.2_review.html
"but the quality of its package manager is simply unacceptable"


[2] http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/12/11/1526210
"Online updates are my only source of concern with openSUSE. Updates are slow 
at times, particularly during installation, and it seems to me that the 
repositories are not as reliable as they should be. Add to that the 
mysterious Update Error Message I found on the screen this morning, and it 
makes me think twice about replacing my Ubuntu Edgy production desktop with 
openSUSE 10.2"

It is that I can use other  package managers, so I can live more or less 
without YOU and YAST PM, but otherwise I would have had a hard time using 
opensuse

Thanks

But I mean this is a other Problem ?
I googled over this problem and found exactly the same Error messages (SUSE) 
with a point to a "ubuntu" installation on the same computer, with no error ?

On my Computer I have this Error Message; I  mean after last kernel Update 
10.1. I have also changed my CPU to a INTEL 640, before I have a INTEL 530 
with no Errors ?
