 Ah, so you saw that. The trick is this, before chrooting:

 mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc
 mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
 mount -o bind /dev /proc/dev

 and then, chroot (as posted here by Anders Johansson about a month ago).

The man page for mkinitrd is now rather different:

1-mount root device on /mnt
2-mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
3-chroot /mnt
4-mount /proc
5-mount /sys
6-mkinitrd

When I try it this way, I get a lot of Constant  Prototype error messages

[opensuse-factory] factory kernel-default-2.6.24_rc5_git2-2.i586.rpm

Hi,

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/
kernel-default-2.6.24_rc5_git2-2.i586.rpm

used in factory installation in VirtualBox (latest) can start only with 
acpi=off, but then system timer runs very fast. Old kernel is, as usually, 
removed. 
Booting in runlevel 3 and changing clock source from pit to tsc seems to be 
work. 

I guess it is a time to reload Alpha0 and start again.

[opensuse-factory] Factory not prominently enough featured on opensuse.org?

2007-11-08 Thread Joerg Mayer
Just a comment from Mr. LWN

 Said grumpy editor has actively looked for an opensuse development
 distribution a few times, with no luck. The folks who create
 opensuse.org don't make the factory distribution easy to find - the
 latest development version link does not go anywhere near it. I
 suspect I'm not the only one who has come up empty-handed in this
 search. Nonetheless, I clearly blew my research and apologize for any
 resulting confusion.

why he stated that there was no publicly available development version
of openSUSE available.

It's true that it is not that easy to find: When I went to opensuse.org,
download, then the link latest development version points to 10.3RC1

A prominent link to factory might help to prevent this from happening
too often? Maybe there are some other places where links to factory
might be added (but I think it is properly referenced at the main
wiki page).

Ciao
  Joerg

PS: The article on lwn.net will become available in a week for
non-subscribers (The Grumpy Editor's guide to (some) development
distributions). Apart from that goof, the article was a nice read.

PPS: Googling for: opensuse development version
showed the (good) development version page and the (bad) download
page as its first two hits in that order

Checking Factory, packages are definitely missing.


Yes, it's a general problem we're facing, which is a combination of these 3:
  - people want factory synced out as soon as possible
  - we're required to review all new packages if we're are legally
allowed to distribute them
  - developers split packages - creating new packages

Basically you can't have all 3 of them without problems you see. Additionally
zypper up -t package is a pretty dumb tool, it only looks at one package at a
time and doesn't see that requirements are no longer full filled. 


So what you should prefer with factory is using yast2-update-FACTORY - it will
at least be able to tell you, that there is a library missing _before_ you 
update. And yes, zypper distupgrade is being worked on.


Greetings, Stephan




yast2 -- Factory Update still exhibits the old behaviour - can't update 
from 10.3.1 to 10.3.1, which means you have to boot off CD/DVD in order 
to do an update from Factory.

[opensuse-factory] Factory synced out

Hi!

Just so you know: RC2 is not yet done, we're still waiting for more fixes
to be verified before we can do give it officially to QA.

But Factory has been synced out again, so if you do a
 zypper update -t package  it should pull in RC2 Candidate and you can
test the latest fixes of the system.

[opensuse-factory] Factory synced out

Hi!

We made sure yesterday that Factory gets synced out, so 
you see what we're testing.

Note that you will see a missing dependency from desktop-file-utils 
to /etc/profile.d/xdg-enviroment.sh (sic!), which was fixed after the
rebuild you see synced out. Just ignore that and keep testing with it, 
but please mention in your bug reports if you updated.

Well, AFAK the suse subdir ist just a perfectly valid repository as well (yum 
style). you find the directory repodata inside, so zypper is not supposed to 
fail. It has to work, even if not yast style is used (patterns are not working 
in this mode, but package installation should not be a problem).

Re: [opensuse-factory] Factory update remains impossible?

2007-08-13 Thread Jason Boissiere
No, it all worked well enough for long enough that I assumed it was a
valid alternative repo URL. The fact that zypper identifies the type
(rpm-md) and  includes it in the sl output suggests it has been usable
at some point.

I think I started using those repo definitions when the yast level URLs
weren't working at some point and never saw any particular reason to
move back, since it functioned fine until recently.

[opensuse-factory] Factory update breaks the system (resmgr problem)

I have just performed an update to latest factory, and there must be something

/dev/null is not accessible by my user, I get /dev/null permission denied when 
I log in the console, and KDE does not start at all.

I have stopped the resmgr service and then chmod a+rw /dev/null, to be able to

resmgr is completely unrelated here, it's syslog-ng.

[opensuse-factory] Factory upgrades from NON-OSS Repo

2007-02-12 Thread Dominique Leuenberger
Hi,

I experiance some strange things lately with updating (using
zen-updater and rug).

Whenever I select a package from the NON-OSS repo, it fails with the
error,
Can not provide /var/cache/./suse/i586/foo.rpm

(containing the whole path representing where from it came on the
server).

I confirm it and of course the package is not updated.
Anyhow, I can go to /var/cache/./suse/i586/ and type 'rpm -Fhv *'
and it updates all the packages without issues, so the downloads of them
were no problem (would also be surprising, as from the OSS repo on the
same server, there is no problem).

Somebody else experiances similiar errors lately?

I'm on latest factory, the system announces itself as 10.3 Alpha0Plus.

[opensuse-factory] Factory Woes

Hi,

Many of the mirrors do not carry the openSUSE factory. Those that do

Can't provide /suse/setup/descr/packages.sk from

Gwdg.de is so vastly overburdened as to be worthless.

Basically is that way.
Though network can mean your local network with one machine serving files to

As you already say, this is the rpm directory, but not the root of the

You can easily identify the root of an installation source by the
following two files:

Note that you need not download even the mini iso if your installation

Assuming you understand how /boot/grub/menu.lst works, just copy any or all
of the ones the installation CD uses from e.g. here
http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/boot/i386/loader/isolinux.cfg
and adjust as necessary according to where you actually put linux and
initrd. If your motherboard doesn't require any special parameters, the 1st
should be plenty, and even if it isn't, you can modify on the fly with grub
anyway.

[opensuse-factory] Factory sync

2006-06-12 Thread jdd

I'm rewrtiting

http://en.opensuse.org/Factory

that was evidently very outdated.

For that purpose, I need an info.

Factory is a frequently changing repo. what is approximately 
the frequency of it's updates, in term of _minimum_ time 
between two updates.


is it possible to have two updates in the same hour? the 
same day? (the same week, certainly :-).


This is to address the problem of using ftp install/update 
by the user in the middle of a server update.


are the servers locked during sync? is it possible for an 
user to get one file (rpm) updated and not the other one (in 
case two files are updated)


in the page the case where one dependency is not compiled 
(so not updated) is addressed, but not the case coming from 
in the middle of sync update case.


thanks

 Our current plan for these snapshots is:

 Fri, Jun 16 SUSE Linux 10.2 Alpha1 (Jun 15 is a holiday for 
 us) 
 
 so I was thinking dev for 10.2 started really only then.

As you can read above, those Alpha-Releases are just snapshots of the
Factory distribution tree.  The Factory tree does exist all the time and is
continuously updated (according to some rules about feature freeze and stuff
like that).  You can find a short overview of the current changes at
http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News.

 ==To be sure.==
 how is the passage between 10.1 and 10.2 made?

Developers do continuous changes to the packages whenever they have time to
work at that package.

 is there a progressive transition through Factory (for 
 example, does factory had the test zen updates?) or is there 
 at some date a massive change?

There is a continuous change but when some developers decide to do a major
update (e.g. update KDE subsystem) then many packages are affected at that
specific point in time.

All fixes for the released distribution should go into Factory tree as well
but not necessarily in the same way.  It might happen that in the Factory tree
one does a fix in a probably better but more intrusive (and thus too dangerous
for the release branch) way.

 how/when are important changes like Kde version made?

Whenever the packagers feel that the best time for updating has come.

 I don't see any discussion in opensuse-factory about such 
 things.

Well, nobody asked for such information until now.

 for me it's clear in the middle of a distribution test, not 
 between two ones.

I hope it is more clear now.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Factory updated on our server...

2006-05-01 Thread Juan Erbes

2006/4/29, Andreas Jaeger [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


Factory is updated on our server again - and is synced out to the
mirrors.  We've seen a number of reports of about segmentation faults
in YaST with the factory tree.  There were two problems:
* bad error handling in YaST
* Wrong release in distversion in the content file

The inst-source/content file should have DISTVERSION 10.1-factory
instead of DISTVERSION 10.1-factory-beta (the extra minus was the
problem).  The second problem is fixed in the factory tree, the first
one will be fixed soon.

Therefore I advise to check that factory is updated before using the
tree before installation.


In what package are the description of the version and product?
Because I can't register it, and if I execute:
/usr/lib/suseRegister/bin # ./suse_release -a
Product:
Version:
Vendor:
Dist:
Distproduct:
Distversion:
Baseproduct:
Baseversion:

How can I complete these options?
I have installed RC3 (via updates from alpha 2).

Thanks

Thank you for the hint.

When I try network install from mirrors.kernel.org it fails with the
message:

No catalog found at

Does it mean that something is still out of sync on that mirror?
Or network install from factory is not possible?

 Please excuse me if it is an FAQ, but how do I verify that factory is
 updated? I was trying to run net install from factory which was failing
 with error 134 (but after download of a 70+MB root image which takes a while).
 Is there an easier method?

Check the inst-source/content file whether it's correct as explained

[opensuse-factory] Factory Media Exception Error

2006-03-18 Thread David Wright
With Beta 6 I could see the Factory repository, even if I couldn't download 
much (about every third package seemed to be missing when I went to do 
updates :-( ), but with Beta 8, I can't add the factory repository.

I've tried rug and YaST, but with opensuse.org, gwdg.de and uni-heidelberg.de 
I get a Media Exception error when adding the url :-( I thought at first that 
I was typing it incorrectly, so I browsed the repository with Firefox and 
copy and pasted the url across to YaST and rug, but both of them come up with 
a Media Exception either when creating the repository (YaST) or trying to 
install a package (rug).

Is this a known problem with Beta 8? I did a search, but it didn't show any 
results for this... (Searching media exception, factory and yast). Can anyone 
point me to an open bug, or shall I raise a new one?

I've added Factory (mirrors.kernel.org) to yast installation sources seemed to 
work fine - installed a couple of packages from it with YaST sw. Though I was 
having problems installing with rug but I'll look into that a bit further 
before deeming it a bug.

Perhaps this is not the place to make wishes/feature requests - but I was 
wondering if it were possible to have a popup message box - perhaps even with 
a progress bar - when downloading repodata.. 

In my experience noobs dont understand that package info for thousands of 
packages is not downloaded in a split second on a 128 kbit connection ;) 

A lot of times people simply think that YaST has frozen - when it is actually 
downloading or refreshing repodata.

All packages of the tree are constantly rebuild to fix possible bad effects
