  Remove factory, otherwise you will update to head of factory instead of
  10.3 final.  Take care that you use the xgl 10.3 repository - and then
  it should work...
 
  You can use zypper update -t package as well.

I updated a x86_64 from alpha6 to gm by booting from DVD and choosing 
update. This left grub in a state, where it does not boot and I couldn't 
repair with Rescue System and Repair from the DVD. This is probably caused 
by the fact, that I used xfs as / and have no separate /boot.

[opensuse-factory] Build (rpm) and older Distributions ?

2007-10-24 Thread Günther J. Niederwimmer
Hello,

can't I find the correct syntax, or is it not possible, any longer, to build a 
package for older distributions ?

With the build from 10.3 and  from Repositories (10.2) I can't build a package 
for SUSE 10.2.

The build package looks allways for the new gcc42 and all packages from 10.3 
(factory)

mit freundlichen Grüssen / best Regards

Absolutely wrong. Using XFS has nothing to do with it. There is a
problem with the install module messing up grub.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Update from 10/23/07 broke X-Server

 At least on X86-64 X-Server dies with Signal 11 after applying the
 mandantory updates.

 See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=336266

I have x86_64 with nvidia-blob and xorg-update installed, and I don't have the 
problem. 

But there are two independant cases in Danish forum and usenet respectively. 
At least one is on intel graphics (Intel GM956 apparently), the other is also 
a laptop - so it's not unllikely he has Intel gfx too.

It's a little sad after the amazing 10.3 release, we've managed to break X and 
Java for a lot people within 3 weeks.. :-(

.. updating is starting to get a little scary.

All my systems are configured that way, but with ext3 and reiserfs. I
did have a similar problem with grub after I removed a failing IDE drive
and booted off a new SATA one.
I was pointed here and to the Ubuntu wiki by guys on the list
http://linuxbraindump.org/2007/08/17/restoring-grub, hopefully this will
provide a solution to your grub problem.

Does this concern the xorg-x11-server update: 4557-0 ?

Please do take broken updates from the list, as there might be many
users, which are not a member of this list, and do not know that they do
not have an x-server anymore after updating... ;-)

After i had to reinstall gm, kde4 did not boot anymore, even after
updating all the pkgs.
Updating with zypper until gm, did not brake kde4.

the mirrors shortly.

On the textconsole, run as root:

zypper up

Only xorg.conf files are affected, which have been created with SaX2
from early 10.3 Beta or Alpha versions, but I wanted to fix this
regression.

 Yeah, I updated my X version to xorg 7.3 because of the RandR support and
 well, alot of fixes / updates were rolled into 7.3 :o)

 Hope it comes up, but yes Xorg updates can be scarey. Luckily i've only had 1
 problem.

 As for KDE 4 Beta 3, still somewhat un-usable to the normal person, I am using
 it on my dev box and takes alot to do things. They really need to polish it
 up a bit at the moment. Hopefully the RC will start bringing us a workable
 desktop.

 Ben



Yes it is not easy to use yet...
I will update the x-server to 7.3 later this evening... ;-)
(only thing about the failing x-server to me is: i do not know how to
fix it without re-installing the whole os :-( which takes me a couple of
extra hours, to get everything i need downloaded and installed again.. i
must learn to make a 'snapshot' of the system, kind of a ghost-image to
build the system up more easy..;-)
