Looking at the check_update.sh script, I'm not sure why the os.dat file
is still there. It's no longer used by any of the other scripts and even
the update script ignores it. Well, it did when I tried using the
--update option.

1.3.0 doesn't know _any_ md5sums. That's the purpose of the --propupd
option. The --propupd option creates the reference file containing the
md5sums, and should be called as soon as possible after the initial
installation.

- Look for hidden files
- Optional scan within plaintext and binary files
- Software version checks
- Application tests

[opensuse-factory] No sendmail in 10.3 beta 1
While performing an upgrade from alpha6 to beta1, having skipped alpha7,
I've noticed that sendmail isn't included on the DVD. There is no
mention of it no longer being included in the announcement on the
announce mailing list, nor on:
http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News>
So, is this purely an oversight and, for some reason it never made it
onto the DVD[0], or is sendmail being dropped from the installation
media?
[0] This is my guess, as it was on alphas upto alpha7.

David Bolt

Well, as a little feedback, I will miss them, since they allowed me to have a completely OSS system without having to go through and de-select non-OSS packages.

However, in common with almost all UK ISPs, my downloads are "capped"[0]. My ISP is actually pretty generous and allow a download of 60GB per rolling 30 day period before they restricted the download rate to little more than dial-up speeds. Other UK users aren't going to be quite so lucky. The only change this will make for me is to remove the need for further development of makeSUSEdvd, since there's almost no need for it any more[1].

Is there going be a torrent released for the Alpha4_Alpha5-ppc deltas?
So far, as of this posting time, there isn't one on the gwdg.de mirror.

[opensuse-factory] Automatic hardware detection and configuration.
After numerous requests for information on what to do when replacing a graphics card and booting to end up with a black/blank screen, it's made me wonder: Why on earth isn't SUSE maintaining a list of all the devices attached, performing a check each time it boots, and asking the user if they'd like to configure any new devices that have been added? For a lot of devices it does ask about configuring them once you're at the desktop. The problem with this is that for a graphics card, that's a bit too late. It should take a matter of a couple of seconds, if that, to query all the device IDs attached to the PCI bus. If it finds a new device, it can then look up to see what type of device it is, whether one of the other devices has been removed and if the new card is of the same type, and then, if required, flag it to be configured. When a graphics card is no longer present, but another one is found, offer the choice to either configure it now or later. Where the user puts off configuring the card, put a flag against the card so same choice is presented during the next boot. What's more, in the case of a graphics card, it could then force a boot into run-level 3 so as to prevent the "black screen" problem. That way the user can either reboot the system, or log in at a console, so they can perform the configuration. It would then be a case of adding a small check to sax, or whichever YaST module is used to perform this configuration, so that it checks to see if the flag is present. If the flag is there, once the configuration is complete, remove the flag and the user isn't asked about this again.

The way I would do this would be to use a couple of phono leads from the HIFI line-out. Plug these into a phono-to-stereo 1/8" adapter, which is then plugged into the line-in on the sound card. Once the physical connections are made, make a test sampling with Audacity to make sure everything's correct. Finally, either sample the whole LP in one go and then copy each track from the big sample, or just sample one track at a time. I'd probably sample a track at a time, until I was sure everything was fine. After that, if I was doing multiple LPs, I'd sample the whole LP and extract the tracks from that.

I had the same problem which was caused by broken links[0]. My
solution[1] was to get rid of them using:
find -L -type l -exec rm '{}' \;
Check to see if you have a zero-byte file or a broken link under rpm/.
You'll probably find that was the cause.
[0] I create a local mirror of the update server using rsync, and then
run create_package_descr on my local mirror. For some reason, some of
the links created by rsync point to non-existent files and
create_package_descr was falling over because of it.
[1] The second solution was to use --exclude src/*.spm as another option
for rsync.

The preceding line, and the following two lines also need replacing.

This is most probably my fault. While testing it out for Houghi, I
didn't try it on a system using LVM so this wasn't spotted. I've mailed
a patch to fix this to Houghi, so he can update the script.

Azureus has been seeding for over 22 hours. Okay, maybe I can understand it. It seems like there's only me seeding, and I only allow 5 connections due to a lost upload speed, so it's going to be very slow going :-( Hopefully, some of those that have grabbed the delta ISOs will do as I did and start seeding the full ISOs once they've finished building them.

Exactly the same. It appears that since the YaST seg-faulted and quit during the install, the install script didn't pick up the failure, thought YaST had finished completely and continued on to the login prompt. Upon restarting, YaST pointed out the failure to complete the installation and started back at the package selection stage. However, it seems to have noticed that that part had completed and so continued to asking for the root password. After that it continued to network settings where it picked up the proxy settings but insisted on turning on the firewall even though the first time around I'd turned it off. Next it successfully did the internet connection test and asked if I wanted to set up an installation source. After the previous seg-fault, I chose not to at that time.

Now, the bad news. I think I've found a bug in the script. If I don't
have the ISOs in the current directory, and pass the path to them using

it works just fine, as you can see from below:

On Sat, 1 Apr 2006, houghi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:- 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. Apparently, at present, it does but only when there is the add-on CD present. 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). Without coding around the problem, it's going to happen again. Also it could be that a person wants to use his own CD that he made and gave it whatever name. At present, it would probably fail. If it appears after the last SUSE CD, the contents file will overwrite the previous one and we're back to square one. 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. ;-) Well, as I said, I wasn't expecting mine to be released into the wild. So many reasons that it is not a real solution. I know, but there are a few possible solutions. One would be to check each CD as it's mounted, and the contents copied, to see if it's the first SUSE CD. If it is, make a temporary copy of both ./content and ./media.1/products. Once all the CDs are copied, write the temporary copies back to the correct places in the DVD structure and this should get around the problem. To really make sure that you've got the right ones, you could parse the ./content file and compare it to known good values, only making the copies if they match. Another possible solution would be to build your own ./content and ./media.1/products files. Looking at the i386 version, the ./media.1/products file have a very simple format: / SUSE-Linux-CD-OSS-i386 10.1 The ./content is a little more complex but, if you're making an online repository, you're already going to be making a basic one for that. A few minor additions and you could have a quite customised DVD[0]. Still thanks and if anybody from SUSE can give some feedback, that would also be great. houghi [0] like changing the default language and time-zone.

Since I don't have it installed, and I don't have . in my path, I have
to use ./makeSUSEdvd.

I don't know. Removing the 'r' from here:
# MOUNT_ISO : mount the ISOs and copy them to one directory
MOUNT_ISO ()
{
for DIR in `ls $HERE/*.iso -Ar`
# remove this letter # ^

test ! -d TEMP_DIR && mkdir TEMP_DIR

there, it failed.

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.

I've yet to actually test it out by trying an install and will let you know how it works out. >Darn, this reverse enginering is hard.

There must be a subtle difference between how your script builds the DVD image to how my script does it. I'm installing beta9 now after adding building a DVD with CDs 1-6 and I've not been asked to insert CD1.

Apparently, I managed to miss that bug due to performing an update from
beta 3, rather than doing a fresh install. Running "sax2 -r" under
runlevel 3 also worked. This was on an Acer Aspire 3002 notebook using
an SiS 660 chip-set.
However, I did fall foul of another when the package manager decided it
was going to install packages from the default selection even I told it
not to bother adding them. Deselecting the games that would normally be
installed during the update didn't appear to stop the package manager
from installing them.

The full torrents were available then from ftp.gwdg.de[0] and, after a quick check on several of the other mirrors, are now available from some of them.
