Just wanted to post a (late) reminder that we will be having a quick meeting regarding cleanup of the GNOME section of the openSUSE wiki today in #opensuse-gnome on Freenode. We will meet at 1230 CDT (1730 UTC) and will be having an informal discussion about ideas for the GNOME page of the wiki.
See the openSUSE-GNOME mailing list archives for previous discussion.
Greetings!
As a side note, I’ll be posting my openSUSE/SLE related writings from http://altbit.org here on Lizards from now on. I think this is a great service to the openSUSE community and I’m appreciative for it. With that out of the way, on to the topic at hand…
We’ve had some discussion over the past few GNOME meetings (and a little banter on the mailing list) about cleaning up the /GNOME section of the wiki. In today’s GNOME meeting, I announced that I’d like to organize a meeting to get some open discussion for potential wiki changes. You can view the thread here.
Please hop in and get involved if you have any ideas for the GNOME section of the wiki. You’re welcome to chime in on the mailing list or stop by #openSUSE-GNOME on Freenode. So far here are some ideas we’ve come up with:
I’ll follow up to this post as more information (and a meeting time) is available. We’d like your input, feel free to join the discussion!

In a small series of posts I’ll describe some tips and tricks for developing with libyui and libzypp in python.
Thanks to the YaST developers and Klaus Kaempf, there are bindings to libyui the Yast User Interface library for python.
For libzypp there are also python-bindings done by Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett and Arvin Schnell.
Both are generated with the swig code generator and are not perfect yet, but as we’ll see they’re pretty usable.
One big problem we need to solve is: libyui and libzypp are part of your base-system/YaST. If we would update them in the main system,
we would probably screw up zypper and YaST – which is bad.
Therefore I compiled libyui and libzypp and all other needed packages with an custom –prefix (/opt/yuitest) inside the openSUSE Buildservice.
Thus we can easily install the latest version without breaking our system.
In this first part we’ll install and test libyui.

openSUSE 11.0 failed detect this hardware and wrong identifying the device as AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter. I usually uses madwifi driver for Atheros chipset instead of ath5k but the standard madwifi driver could not be applied for the device. After Googling for a while, I could make it works with the special AR 5007 EG madwifi driver, http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz.
How to make it works ?
su
zypper in kernel-source make gcc gcc-c++
wget -c http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz
tar -zxvf madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz
cd madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007
make
make install
modprobe ath_pci
reboot
After reboot, you should be configure the wifi from YAST | Network Devices | Network Settings
openSUSE 11.0 with tons of impovement has been announced on June 19, 2008. Since then it was a busiest day for me : setting up a local mirror providing iso image for openSUSE fans in Indonesia, arrange openSUSE 11.0 release party and preparing Indonesian openSUSE community regular meeting on Saturday, June 21, 2008. We have planned all of these since last month but I must updated the planning with latest news and preparation.
Beside the planning, I also read some comments that noticed me with problem regarding openSUSE LiveUSB tutorial. The tutorial used openSUSE 11.0 RC1 and the modified initrd as noticed on the tutorial doesn’t fit with the GM version.
I’ve got the openSUSE 11.0 installation walk-throughs mostly done! I say mostly, I did get the DVD installation tutorial completely done and published, but since we have a little over two weeks, if anyone has anything to add or correct to it, there’s plenty of time to do so. I also mostly finished a walk-through of the Live CD installation, but I’ve still got a few screenshots to add and corrections to make, so if you’ve got time take a look at both and help out, help us make them awesome easy to follow by release day!
I thought about just copying the instructions from the 10.3 Installation tutoral and adjusting them to 11.0, but since there were so many changes in the installation it would be more trouble than it would be worth.
So let’s raise a toast to the YaST developers for making the new installers really nice and spiffy! And thanks to Jonathon Arnold, hieronymus on Twitter, for providing me with the screenshots for the DVD installation!
Also, since I think this is my first post on Planet SUSE, hey everybody! I’ll just link to my bio.
In earlier post, I’m writing “How to build openSUSE LiveUSB with Kiwi” tutorial guide and thinking how to get same results with more easier tips. Another distro came with easy trick to make a bootable LiveUSB and I think openSUSE should be 😉 . Kiwi is a great tools for making openSUSE liveUSB, QEMU Image, VMWare Image, XEN Image and LiveCD Image but it would not fit with any situation.
I’ve search various topics and found some of them looks pretty interesting to try. After reviewing some tips, here is a tutorial guide to make openSUSE 11.0 LiveUSB with the easiest way :
As mentioned on previous post, today I’m playing with LiveUSB creation. Coolo, our lovely (and busy 😉 ) openSUSE project manager discard his experimental test of making LiveUSB due to various specific problem with the USB.
I released factory snapshots of USB and CD images – the USB shows just too many USB specific problems to be worthy, so I kind of decided to kill this idea again ;( More…
Before taking the tutorial mentioned by Luiz Fernando, I’m trying with KIWI LiveUSB stick tutorial. I’ve followed the tutorial last month but the process unfinished yet due to the complaining from KIWI that the image doesn’t fit on my 2 GB USB Flash Disk. At the moment, I was stopped the process and planned to continue after buying another bigger flash disk. I take this conclusion with the assumption KIWI need more than 2 GB of USB disk.
Today I used same tutorial with another assumption 😉 , probably the problem occurred due to the annoying bug with KIWI in earlier version, not with the size of USB disk. KIWI using same image used by LiveCD (about 700 MB), so, 2 GB of USB disk should be fit with the requirement of KIWI for building live USB stick.
I’m playing with Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) for about 2 years, and quite satisfied with the stability, feature and administrative console. Before applying Zimbra I used standard postfix for office mail server.
Zimbra released with 2 licensing schema, commercial and open source license. Their open source license provided with Yahoo Public License.
I’m currently using Zimbra 5.0.4 on openSUSE 10.3. Manual installation could be found in my personal blog : Zimbra Installation on openSUSE 10.3. You may need a small modification into ZCS installation script because ZCS originally released for openSUSE 10.2.
After deploying Zimbra on openSUSE 10.3 for such company (part of Indonesian openSUSE community project for increasing openSUSE usability and our promotion project of openSUSE usability for server side), I make a deal to write a small script using bash. It’s pretty simple and looks like a primitive script with just cp, tar and mv 😀 . I will make a nice graphical user interface after learning C++ or Java 😉 .
So, how to build powerful mail server with Zimbra on openSUSE 10.3 ? Here it does :
