Urgh, the OpenOffice_org 3.1 beta6 packages are currently available only for 5 localizations: English(American), German, Japanese, Czech, Hungarian. I forgot to enable all localizations in the final build (bnc#498906). I have just triggered the full rebuild but it will take one or two days until the packages are available.
I am really sorry for the inconvenience.
I’m happy to announce that OpenOffice.org 3.1 beta6 packages are available in the Build Service OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE project. They include many upstream and Go-oo fixes. Please, look for more details about the openSUSE OOo build on the wiki page.
The packages are beta versions and might include even serious bugs. Therefore they are not intended for data-critical usage. A good practice is to archive any important data before an use, …
We kindly ask any interested beta testers to try the package and report bugs.
This build includes an alpha version of OpenXML export filters (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX). We also added many fixes to the OpenXML import filters. They should be able to import and export simple documents now. These changes affected also the import and export filters of the old binary file formats (DOC, XLS, PPT). So we kindly ask anyone to try this functionality and report bugs especially in the import and export of the old binary file formats.
Other information and plans:
I would like to provide beta7 or rc1 build the following week. The openSUSE final release might be delayed one or two weeks after the upstream because of the extra changes. The current upstream release date is May 7, 2009.
I’m happy to announce that OpenOffice.org 3.1 beta5 packages are available in the Build Service OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE project. They include many upstream and Go-oo fixes. Please, look for more details about the openSUSE OOo build on the wiki page.

This build finally includes the alpha version of OpenXML export filters (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX). There are still many serious bugs, e.g. bnc#496431, bnc#492896. We also added many fixes to the OpenXML import filters. These changes affected also the import and export filters of the old binary file formats (DOC, XLS, PPT).

I would like to provide beta5 or rc1 build the following week. I expect the final release in the first half of May. We will be slightly delayed after the upstream release.
Symptom:
Since a few days i had an Problem with playing selfmade DVDs. CDs (Audio and *.avi) can be playes. Original DVD’s too. But i have made DVDs with an DVD RECORDER (for TV). Then i burn 2 Movies on the DVD and the Recorder makes an own Menu for the Movies. But if i insert the DVD to the DVD Player, the Device Monitor sayd me, the only three Alternatives are: open in Dolphin, open with Digikam and do nothing. If i choosed Dolphin, dolphin startsand then i see in the bottom an Red Line with the Error “No Access”.
First tries:
I listed the Directory:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 10. Apr 15:24 cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 10. Apr 11:45 cdrw -> sr1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 10. Apr 11:45 dvd -> sr0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 10. Apr 11:45 scd0 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 10. Apr 11:45 scd1 -> sr
My User is in the Group “cdrom”.
Then i’ve checked /etc/udev/rules.d 99-my.rules:
There i found: KERNEL==”[sr*[0-9]”,GROUP=”cdrom”,MODE=”0660″
getfacl /dev/sr0 says:
getfacl: Removing leading ‘/’ from absolute path names
# file: dev/sr0
# owner: root
# group: cdrom user::rw-
user:sascha:rw-
group::rw-
mask::rw-
other::—
For sr1 its the same output.
Then i go to /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.policy and set the following:

Then i made an reboot, but nothing happens. The same Error is
present.
Today i found out, that all non accessable DVD have the following
Rights:

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Strange permissions.
SOLUTION:
Then i created an File in /usr/share/kde4/apps/solid/action with the following:
[Desktop Entry]
X-KDE-Solid-Predicate=[ StorageVolume.ignored == false AND OpticalDisc.availableContent == ‘Data|VideoDvd’ ]
Type=Service
Actions=open;
[Desktop Action open]
Name=Play DVD with video player (Kaffeine)
Exec=kaffeine -d %d DVD
Icon=kaffeine
After an relogin, the new Alternative are present. I can go to open with Kaffeine, and than we have finished this task.
BTW: Please check if KDE3/Kaffeine is installed. Without them the Workaround will not work.
Special Thanks goes to: slowhand/medwin

Other information and plans:
I would like to provide beta4 build the following week. It should finally include the OOXML export filters and might be the last betat before the first release candidate. I expect the final release by the end of April. We will be slightly delayed after the upstream release.
I’m happy to announce that OpenOffice.org 3.1 beta2 packages are available in the Build Service OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE project. They include many upstream and Go-oo fixes.

Other information and plans:
I would like to provide beta3 build the following week. The integration of the OOXML export filters is a bit delayed and should be in beta4 (two weeks from now). It might delay the OOo-3.1 release by two or three weeks. Well, the upstream release is delayed as well.
I wanted to make these announces better readable and moved the general information to the wiki page. I hope that it was a good step. I am interesting into your voting and comments 😉
I’m happy to announce that OpenOffice.org 3.1 beta1 packages are available in the Build Service OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE project.
The packages are build the openSUSE-11.1 way so that the extra packages with extensions are available for openSUSE-11.1 and 11.0. I still have some troubles to build the extensions on openSUSE-10.3 and SLED10. I hope that I’ll fix it soon.

Other information and plans:
I would like to provide another beta build within one week. It should finally include an initial implementation of the OOXML export filters and thus improve the interoperability with MS Office 2007.
There are still some troubles to update the OOo-3.0.1 packages from the OpenOffice:org:STABLE project on openSUSE-11.1. I have committed one more fix yesterday. The fixed packages should be ready tomorrow. I hope that it will be the final fix. See the bug #471280 for more details.
Dear Ladies and Gents,
version “3.0.6” of openSUSE-Enlightenment (SOAD project) is out:
GWDG mirror will be updated to the version “3.0.6” on Monday (next week).
Changelog from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6 version
* new updated kernel (version 2.6.27.19_3.2)
* updated EFL/E to svn_r39423 (2009-03-09)
* updated OOo (version 3.0.1.3)
* fixed “Del” key operation in “xterm”
* fixed the segfault during the first login to Enlightenment-DR17
* improved “Wicd” init script
* added GTK+ “Unity” theme
* removed “atl1e” driver for “Attansic” LAN cards (found on the eeepc1000* mostly)
* following drivers are added: “rtl8187”, “rt73”, “rt61”, “r8101”, “r8168”
* improved list of a default installed repositories
* overall code/software/packages update to the current openSUSE-11.1 state
* some useful Wi-Fi utilities added along with the advanced documentation (Tutorials…) 🙂
* other misc. enhancements
In general – this version just works. The only disadvantage is that “LiveCD” version require 800M media (or a blank DVD-R/RW disk) and cannot be recorded to the standard 700M CD-R/RW. The absence of a “delta” images are due to the huge update of a packages – “delta” has no sense this time.
We’re also recommend you to visit our two new modest wiki pages and read a bit about:
Ecomorph
Wicd
Btw, it looks like “Wicd” have a chance to be a default network configuration tool for KDE-4.3 (Dev. Team are constantly improving the package, that’s great!).
LiveCD: list of installed packages
USB-stick: list of installed packages
Huge thanks to Mikhail Kazakov for a help in preparation of this release version!
Enjoy!
Regards,
sda
P.S. The curious persons are welcome to glimpse at the small “Detailed uncompressed LiveCD packages size” pdf file.
Hello Folks,
now following an List from my last updated/worked Packages:
Have a lot of Fun 🙂
I’m happy to announce that OpenOffice.org 3.1 alpha1 packages are available in the Build Service OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE project.
The packages are alpha versions and might include even serious bugs. Therefore they are not intended for data-critical usage. A good practice is to archive any important data before an use, …
We kindly ask any interested beta testers to try the package and report bugs. We are especially interested into the testing of SMB access and file locking.
Other information and plans:
The next version will have hopefully the beta quality. It should include an initial implementation of the OOXML export filters and thus improve the interoperability with MS Office 2007. It should be done the openSUSE-11.1-like split build way and thus provide also the most important extensions. I hope that it will be available by the end of the following week.
I am going to update the OOo-3.0.1 packages in the OpenOffice:org:STABLE project. It should include even better fix for the update problem on openSUSE-11.1 (bug #471280). It will include few more important fixes. It should be available by the end of this week.
