It could be actually extended to inform users that they seem to had been using (previously enabled) repositories that are currently disabled and how to enable them or why (dropping not maintained packages by default). Additionally it could check the paths of enabled repositories and warn users if they were going to use old paths (such as 10.2 for 10.3, resp. 10.3 for 11.0). This seems to be worth a feature request. I agree. Definitely a place for a feature request. Please, do. Does it make sense? It's a bit tricky to get the current version of a product just being installed, but it's not impossible ;) Lukas Not impossible, but to know these things you need to have done it before. I think the installer interface should be even more polished to a beginner doing his/her first openSUSE installation. The possibility to add the external repos is already a step forward.

[opensuse-factory] D-Link DWL 520+ support
In 10.0 there's an update available on the update servers, a script that installs the acx100 firmware for Texas Instruments chipset used in DWL520+. This works fine, the card works without any problems. If I update to 10.2 the card does not work anymore. This script is no more available. If I make a fresh install of 10.2 the card is not even found. Is there a workaround I could try to a) keep my existing card in update (otherwise the update works fine) b) get the firmware to work when I copy it to the same place in a fresh install? Does the firmware (or kernel or something) need some installing or is it just to copy the firmware? It looks like the script just fetched the drivers and put the firmware there. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After the reboot there was no sign of the copied directory - ie, nothing got copied but the process just locked up the system.

VMware-tools installs there, no problem with the kernel modules. Anyway, what I wanted to see was if the tools would work any better in 10.2 than the have so far in Linux. The windows client can run in its window and the cursor can go in and out of the window when tools are installed. Can you confirm this function working when running SUSE as guest? This has not been the case here. The cursor needs to be released from the guest window by pressing Ctrl+Alt if the tools are there or not. So the tools in case of SUSE as guest are useless anyway. The display properties can be adjusted just as fine with or without the tools, so I'm not too worried about the tools. Also if I run a remote session to that guest SUSE with FreeNX, the window works as any other window. Tools = no biggie :) Nevertheless the tools, but I came to think why it perhaps does not compile. I installed a real vmware server on a real host machine running 10.2 beta2. There weren't any probs. I haven't installed any virtual machines on that yet, but I guess the server should be like the tools in that matter. So I think maybe this problem with the vmware-tools not compiling comes from the fact that my guest machine was built with the http://www.easyvmx.com/ service. It's fake It's not installed from a real vmware workstation like they used to be when I made the instructions on my site. http://waxborg.pp.fi/mobile/articles/vmware.html Anything to confirm this? -- Vahis Sometimes I reply to top posters.

After installing that package, I was able to run vmware-config-tools.pl without any problems. Regards, Dominique I installed another 10.1 for this test. VMware-tools installs there, no problem with the kernel modules. Anyway, what I wanted to see was if the tools would work any better in 10.2 than the have so far in Linux. The windows client can run in its window and the cursor can go in and out of the window when tools are installed. Can you confirm this function working when running SUSE as guest? This has not been the case here. The cursor needs to be released from the guest window by pressing Ctrl+Alt if the tools are there or not. So the tools in case of SUSE as guest are useless anyway. The display properties can be adjusted just as fine with or without the tools, so I'm not too worried about the tools. Also if I run a remote session to that guest SUSE with FreeNX, the window works as any other window. Tools = no biggie :) -- Vahis Sometimes I reply to top posters. Seldom. And usually just once.

Great. Between you guys, Peter Czanik and perhaps some of the official servers it should be possible to get some momentum going I'd think and more bittorrent users would appear. Which would benefit users and mirror admins alike. And at the same time it would be possible to provide DVD isos, solving many issues with one stroke. Am I not correct? Maybe Christoph, like Peter, should _only_ seed the DVD isos. I normally always download all SUSE stuff with Azureus. Then I always keep them seeding like till they've gone for about 20 GB. Like now I have the remastered ISOs going with 45 - 50 peers, I've kept it going since it came out. There are 105 - 110 other seeders in my swarm. The speed of the swarm is just over 2 MB/s. I've kept doing these seedings about two years now and roughly after 20 - 25 GB I normally would start with next torrent. Everything depends on what other stuff I down/upload, sometimes I pause the SUSE torrents for a while to get something else. Then start again.

Edit the Release Notes to include: Update worked or just change an icon. Just something to test the process. I have been planning this for regular online updates, but we did not (and likely still don't) have resources to do so. I am not talking about doing actual online updates. I am talking about a directory to *test* online updates in Factory, Alpha, Beta and RC. e.g. just one file that will be updated and that is the Release notes or somthing else competely irrelevant to the working of the system itself. Perhaps just a test added to the realease notes that states that no real security updates are done. That way we have a directory to point to for our online updates during the pre-release period and see what goes right or wrong. So no real (security) updates, but a rocess to *test* the process. At this moment, I think there is no way we can test YOU or similar processes with zen. Such a directory would make it possible to test these processes. I have tried to test the following: I have an install repo on a server. I put a newer package there and see if it works. I'll have some results soon. Like tomorrow, maybe. Createrepo and stuff, you know...
