Orbit, first impressions

May 20th, 2008 by

Today the Orbit started, with a very nice openSUSE booth. I’m showing Beta3, and so far it’s running quite good. So if you are in Zürich, visit the Novell booth! It’s quite easy to find, it’s the first one if you enter Orbit 🙂

Some Pictures from yesterday (setting up the booth):

Grr, i forgot to bring my camera today. The whole booth looks quite different now …

Help With Bug Hunting

May 20th, 2008 by

So far from what I’ve heard and seen, people really like the upcoming 11.0 release – yes it is now only a month away 🙂

To try and make sure it is even better come release date the guys and gals need good bugreports, and preferably not duplicate bugs. One handy tool for searching for your bug is Martin Vidner’s Bugzilla search tool. This has been formed into an OpenSearch plugin by the maestro that is Benji.

Basically all you need to do is head over to here and then select your search engine drop down menu and choose “Add openSUSE 11.0 Bug Search”. I have tried it in FireFox 2 and 3, but Konqueror should be pretty much the same.

Thanks to Martin and Benji for this lovely facility, and now there is no excuse for not filing correct bug reports 😉 Happy bug hunting.

UPDATE
Thanks again to Benji, he has corrected my mistake for adding the search option in Konqueror. Just do the following:
settings -> configure konqueror -> web shortcuts -> new
bnc search settings in konqueror
