 ... 
 Now.. if that was consistent for everyone, it would point to a problem
 with Beagle, but there are people here saying it works great, and they
 can't imagine being without it.
 
 We have a group on one side who have real issues with Beagle... and on
 the other, a group who have no issues at all.  The group who find it
 kills all system performance want it removed.. or at the very least,
 an opt-in option at install... the others think we're crazy... that
 we're whining... that we're trolling etc. It's a no win situation.
 
 I don't know what else to say... and I won't keep commenting here
 beyond this email... I'm willing to give Beagle a try now and then...
 as I do with all software included in the default install.  I don't
 hate it.. I don't love it either.  What I would like to understand is
 why there is a significant number of us that have real issues with it
 when it runs... even after a reasonable time for indexing... even when
 using the latest build... or at least the build that came with the
 10.3 release ISOs.
 
 It's something I can't solve personally... nor will it be resolved
 with endless debates on the mailing lists.

No, that is correct.  The solution will be accomplished by those
having problems bug reporting and providing substance.  All the debate
in the email forums only heightens tempers and leads to frustrated
rants.

Report the bugs and affect a remedy!

ps:  I have three machines, 10.1 and 2 10.3, w/o *any* problems.

 Sometime it works and other times is states the /dev/hdd1 is not a

Get a usb card-reader and remove the card from your camera for

 During the course of installing software sometimes additional software
 needs to be installed due to dependencies. Example I select program Y
 to be installed and it needs program Z installed to satisfy a
 dependency. If I change my mind and decide *not* to install program Y
 the installer still installs program Z. If several programs have been
 selected for install there is no way to tell if program Z is needed or
 not. Is there any way this can be fixed? Should I open a enhancement

You should use the force, Luke:

rpm -q --whatrequires subject-package

a little investigation would be called for before calling the BugZilla.

no argument, but not the original question:

 Yast should uncheck the dependencies selected by itself when the user
 decide not to intall the program that requires them.

agreed

 All changes made automatically should be undone automatically if it is
 required.

I can see where this might not be possible if, as was indicated, the
install was *started* and then aborted.  *Then*, the rpm  check
becomes necessary.  Pointy-Clickey is not the *only* way.

Trying to boot the KDE Live 10.3 2.4 CD on a box with an ATI X200 (5954)

I have started in runlevel 3 and ran sax2 which has the same result.

The Knoppix live dvd will boot fine into 1280x1024.  I even copied the
xorg.conf file and tried to use in to boot the KDE Live w/o any success.

Has anyone had success with this video card, and, if so, what did you

From: Michael Loeffler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [opensuse-announce] openSUSE 10.3 Live version available
Mailing-List: contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]; run by mlmmj

- From today on the live version of openSUSE 10.3 is available as GNOME
or KDE Live CD.  Both contain the same software as the 1 CD
installation versions from launch time - just as live system.

The live system can be used as a productive system or rescue system.
Or you just check out how openSUSE 10.3 runs on your computer without
touching your hard drive. 

The Live CDs are available as 32bit versions in english only and
contain for the first time an install option on the desktop. Just
click the icon and installation on your hard drive starts.

For now the images can be found here:
openSUSE 10.3 GNOME Live
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/iso/cd/openSUSE-10.3-GM-GNOME-Live-i386.iso

openSUSE 10.3 KDE Live
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/iso/cd/openSUSE-10.3-GM-KDE-Live-i386.iso

The Live version will be incorporated to www.software.openSUSE.org
over the next days and can than benefit from the simple selection
concept that offers one location for all media and simple detection
for everybody.

Have a lot of fun!

 Although someone removed advice for; 
cd /usr/src/linux

 in my experience, nvidia installer will not work without at least first 2 
 lines, ie, changing working directory to /usr/src/linux and than copy of 
 current configuration:
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig 
 the only line that last version of nvidia installer didn't really needed 
 was 'make prepare' . I added that too, just to make sure that every possible 
 effort is made to have all bits ready. 
 
 The guy that removed above 3 commands from article is, so far I know, one of 
 kernel developers, and I don't go in discussion what is right, the SUSE 
 kernel or nvidia installer creators.

 Please, excuse me if it isn't the right list, and for my bad english...

you are doing very well  :^)

 I have a 10.3 beta-2 (upgraded today at 15:30 GMT+2), with
 kernel-source and linux-kernel-headers installed. The problem is when
 I try to install the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run driver,
 because I obtain every time this error:
 
 The kernel header file
 '/lib/modules/2.6.22.3-7-bigsmp/build/include/linux/kernel.h' does not
 exist...
 

do from cl:
   rpm -q kernel-smp kernel-source
to see that you do have the *same* versions installed

also be sure that kernel-smp and kernel-source match in architecture
(i586/x86_64)

aiui, linux-kernel-headers is not required for the NV... install.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Alpha7 and RPM db

2007-08-17 Thread Patrick Shanahan
* Donn Washburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] [08-17-07 17:06]:
 I was going to check the RPM database for various pieces of software 
 versions.  Say like Open Office by rpm --qa *.  

first, there is no option --qa, its -qa, and the asterisk is
superfluous.

 To which the rpm database comes up with Amarok-1.4.6 only.  

this makes NO sense, Amarok..., *unless* your database is totally
corrupt.

 I would have expected a dump of the programss.  

given the correct syntax...

 So I did a remake of the RPM database rpm --rebuilddb then rpm
 --initdb and still it finds only Amarok. 

show the EXACT command you typed as this still makes no sense.

 This was done as root.  

not necessary to show installed pgms, but is for the rebuild and/or
initdb.

 Am I doing it wrong or is there some other new trick.  rpm -q
 rpmfilename seems to work but rpm -q * or -qa * fails to work.  Is
 this a Senior Moment or bad memory problem.

Senior no, but perhaps bad memory.  More likely you do not know the
command structure/syntax.

IN LINUX command-line applications, *usually* the proper command
syntax may be displayed via command --help.  There is also man
command.

try:  rpm --help
  and
  man rpm

rpm -qa app-name   
  works for me, as does
rpm -qa |grep app-name
  or, when memory might be faulty
rpm -qa |grep -i app-name  


 Ultimately I was going to rpm -qa * | grep open

But you didn't

 Hmm, the live CDs call sax2 -a (basically). Can you call sax2 later?

will try with sax2 -a.  Bare sax2 did not get to a graphics screen
after booting init 3.

  Internet access (wireless netgear wg311t) also is not recognized.

 Rug didn't want to update my factory install because zmd wasn't

 with a very long list of error installing package messages due to lack

and *somehow* the lack of disk space or anticipation of available disk

 We have already looked into this, but found it not to be usable so
 far, as the sqlite database schema turns out to be a plain
 represetation of the xml files, i.e. it's quite suboptimal for
 libzypp, which uses its own database schema. Duncan, could you please
 elaborate on the details -- I know you did some benchmarks already.
 
 For yum uses it might still make sense to enable the sqlite db
 support (-d option of createrop  0.4.8).

 So if this discussion should become constructive you should discuss
 about a minimal pattern that should be installed when installing a
 new system or a pattern that should be installed for doing this or
 that but not mix up everything and call this undefined thing minimal
 pattern set.


So, SOMEONE needs to take the lead and SET parameters for *minimal* and
let everybody add to that to achieve what they desire as *minimal*. 

You are correct that a consensus will not be reached.

1.  Set a minimum minimal
2.  Define several small adds or enhancements for minimal
3.  Publish and allow everyone to achieve their own status

Re: [opensuse-factory] Epson CX5300 Scanner Work Around

 [...]
 Ironically now that my scanner is working again, it hasn't worked
 since SuSE10.0, the print heads have totally blocked up and I'm up
 for a new MFP!  I've now seen three (3) CX5300's fail because of ink
 blockages so my new one will not be from that stable :-(

EPSON   (I have Epson 925)
It is recommended and I concur, that you turn off the printer except
when in continuous or nearly continuous usage.  I had to clean the ink
heads at almost every use (I am an infrequent printer) until I began
turning off the printer about three months ago.  Have not cleaned the
print heads since and see no skipping or blank areas.

 Same here. I download now via Azureaus with about 350kB/s with peaks to

 get via e.g. FTP would be 500kB.

 about 600.00 KB/s, but only 7 connections (usually 45-55)

 Yes, like I said, it won't seed unless you use the torrent file
 (obviously).  The links that metalink files provide are just
 mirrors. If you want to see, grab the .torrent file and seed the
 already-downloaded ISO that you have.

The torrent wants to do the download again.  How do you see w/o
repeating the dl at the much slower torrent speeds.

 It would be possible to:
 
  - start btdownloadcurses
  - allow it to download for some seconds, and stop it.
  - notice where it started to put the image, and copy the already 
downloaded image over it, or symlink it.
  - start up btdownloadcurses again. I will compare the file it sees with 
the checksum it has, and if it checks correctly will start seeding 
right away.
 
 I don't know if ares2c is capable of a similar thing, but I had thought 
 the metalink file included torrents as well.

Apparently not  :^(, I'm uploading at nearly the same rate as the
torrent download, but I am seeding  :^)

I will take this up with Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa, pgm author.
