2007-09-12 Thread Pang Dawei
Hi,there,
I can not find the scim-qtimm for qt4 in the openSuse10.3 beta3,
so I can not type Chinese using scim in any qt4 program,will 10.3 have
scim-qtimm for qt4?

[opensuse-factory] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 37

2007-09-12 Thread Stephan Kulow
Hi!

Didn't manage to write the status yesterday, I guess in calmer weeks
it will be easier :)

status report: week 37

- Christoph was responsible for beta2 and beta3, I took back over after 
  beta3 was released (thanks for all the warm words, btw).
- bug count is biggest concern right now. We're down from 12 blocker 
  and 98 critical on saturday to 5 blocker and 91 critical (this of course
  include massive testing from all side, so we see new bugs every hour).
- Biggest non-working part seems to be update right now. It creates problems
  in several parts. Update from 10.1 was completely unsupported with beta3,
  update from 10.2 created broken bootloader config in parts.
- we reorganized the DVD layout again, so we fit more packages suggested
  in patterns and remove things that aren't listed in patterns.
- we found a solution for the bundle-lang problem, so that we can save space
  on the CDs without breaking update to FTP later
- we're still discussing if we go with ipw or iwl as default for the newer
  Intel wlan chips. iwl still has issues, but ipw is no longer maintained
  by Intel (but is our default as I write)
- libzypp in beta3 had severe problems, so we have to have good faith for
  RC1 (online update was broken and the online update to fix it wasn't pulled
  in for everyone - and update from 10.2-x86_64 has shown problems)
- the bigsmp kernel still causes problems (not just on virtualbox), so I 
  decided to revert that feature and go with bigsmp only on big smp machines
  again (we might have a pae kernel in the future, so we're still interested
  in figuring out what's the problem with the other kernel).
- LiveCDs of beta3 have shown too many problems to release them. So we only
  use them for further developing of them

- this week: 
   - more bug fixing
   - daily builds till we have a working update from 10.2 on coolo's laptop
 and a half way working update from 10.1 on coolo's wife computer (I admit
 it sounds selfish :)
   - an internal build with DVD. Based on that I'll publish live CDs.

If you miss anything, let me know.

Greetings, Stephan

[opensuse-factory] centrino wlan: ipw3945 or iwl3945 or both?

2007-09-12 Thread Jens Nixdorf
Hi all,

with my last update from factory my system got a new kernel 
(2.6.22.5-12), and as i could see after the next reboot, no more 
wireless lan (intel 3945bg). With lsmod i could see two modules 
regarding wlan: ipw3945 and iwl3945. I tried to configure it via Yast, 
but Yast told me that it is unable to configure network card because 
kernel device is not present. 

So i downgraded back to 2.6.22.5-10, which was the last kernel with 
running wireless lan driver, but now that doesnt work too. 

How can i get back a working wlan-configuration?

thx, Jens

To check what has changed, you can check the opensuse-commit list:

It will show you all changes by date.  The compiler has not been changed
past Beta3,

You mean release? Rebuilds always increment the Release tag by 1 in

You mean a change of the build number?  We increase it always when we
rebuild and one of the packages it depends on has been changed.

JP, you were once complaining that after a rebuild the number was not
increased even if it contained different dependencies - now it is really
increased ;-)

Re: [opensuse-factory] Status of language support in openSUSE 10.3

2007-09-12 Thread jdd

Christoph Thiel wrote:

Hi everyone,

as some of you have already noticed, we have slightly changed the language
support in openSUSE 10.3. To give you an update of what languages will be
supported on which media set, here is a short summary.

KDE / GNOME CD: The 1CD's is English-only, _BUT_ you can get all packages
  supporting your language from the online repositories!


the kde cd behavior is quite surprising.

on summary, the boot for install system uses localization, when the 
main system don't (waste of space :-)


One *can* choose any langage at boot (first screen) and use his 
prefered one for the install (good) and this langage is still kept 
through all the install and on the final one, but


after the first reboot, suddenly,  the device config windows pops ups 
then desapear without notice (one can't use it) and kdm starts.


so one is in kdm, with only root configured and with english langage 
(the local langage is configured, but the files are not there, so only 
english works).


if it happen, like for me, than the root pass uses keys not in the 
same position as qwerty (here the m), I coudn't log - long time 
after I understood than I had to use the qwerty keyboard.


the problem is minor. however you could keep some more place 
suppressing the (here french) keyboard layout for install system (or 
keep it for the final install)


at least there should a warning: from this point on you will be 
forced to use a qwerty keyboard

It would be better to include support for all keyboards layouts right on 
the CD. Exclude the language strings if the space is needed, but include 
the keyboard layouts. I believe those files are small enough to be 
included.

Plus, on the first install screen ask for both language and keyboard (in 
the same screen), which may be different; for instance, I have Spanish 
keyboard but prefer to use English in software.

[opensuse-factory] /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported.blacklist

2007-09-12 Thread Michal Marek
Hi everyone,

your help is needed ;) Can you run this small command

$ tail -1 /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported.blacklist

and check if the last line reads

## include modules.unsupported.blacklist

? If it does, then everything is fine. If it's _not_ commented out and
you surely didn't tweak anything related to handling of unsupported
modules (setting LOAD_UNSUPPORTED_MODULES_AUTOMATICALLY in sysconfig) in
a previous install, can you please comment in bug
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304652 ?

Thank you very much for your time,

I want to put my voice to this:

Keybord support from start ( no choice: usa naturel )

Personaly i think that hal (or whatever used hwdetection) is able to see
what keybord layout is used, so i think that the choice would be
obvious, from hardware point of vieuw, and thus could be preselected,
without any problem. (except that it has to be implemented?)

If I'm not mistaken, you need to get to the proposal before you can change 
the keyboard. What I say is that the keyboard should be configurable right 
at the start of the install, before it asks for the license acceptation, 
in the same screen where it ask for the language to use during the 
installation.

Not the same thing.

Wrong? You say?

At what point?
That hardware detection can see what keybord-layout is used?
Or that it has to be implemented?
Or both?

Do not say that it is not possible, the door shuts if you say those
things.. ;-)

Too bad you're wrong.

Wrong? You say?

At what point?
That hardware detection can see what keybord-layout is used?
Or that it has to be implemented?
Or both?

Do not say that it is not possible, the door shuts if you say those
things.. ;-)
  
As far as I know there is no way to detect which letters are printed on 
the keys and which letter is printed on which key.
In other words: The hardware is generic and only the labels differ from

 How can hardware detection see, what is printed (or written with
 permanent marker) on keys? ;)
 Detection may see keyboard type (101, 102, 104, 105), but you can
 configure every type for dozens of layouts, when not more. You can have
 Swedish keyboard and buy stickers for using every other Northern Europe
 language layout etc... from every local computer store. ;)

You are right.
This is no reason for not to improve things?
Maybe there are not much toughts been this way
This does not leave out that the option to choose the keybordlanguage at
an earlier stage can be implemented in the software?

Exactly.  You can easily see that as I type using the american keyboard
layout on my laptop that is covered with Japanese keys.

There is no way the hardware can report this, sorry.

I mean that is recognised what kind of keybord is used, like  logitech
cordless...
So if the information is in the hardware, (eeprom), it can be read..
7 button mice are also recognised?

If something is realy usefull, or nessesary, it should be made possible,
(imho).

Not a big thing to add this info in the hardware itself?

Yep. Unless the many makers agree on a standard to save and retrieve a 
language code in the keyboard. No such think exists, AFAIK.

But the layout is nowhere to be read electronically. The electronics 
inside have no idea of what the keys have printed on their faces. The 
codes that the keyboard emit to the computer are position based, not 
letter based.

 If something is realy usefull, or nessesary, it should be made possible,
 (imho).

More than what you think, those things are really simple electronically. 
And you would have to convince all manufacturers.

[opensuse-factory] Linux and HiDef TV

2007-09-12 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I may being say goodbye to my old Hauppauge Model 401 pci buss TV/FM
perfectly good card due to the FCC forcing HiDef down our throats.

To that is there a good Linux PCI HiDef TV/FM card out there?
As I remember at the first of 2009 this switch will take effect.  The
local FREE TV station will drop analog and go to the forced on the
broadcaster and us HD TV.  My guess is the US government is looking for
fees, and taxes as income.  Most people are happy with their old analog
TVs  Shades of Quad HiFi!!
