Leaving for FOSDEM in Brussels today

Posted by Lenz Grimmer on
Later today I will be heading off to the sixth Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting in Brussels, Belgium. I look forward to the various sessions and meeting with the members of other Open Source projects, especially the folks from the openSUSE team. I hope this meeting allows me to build closer relations to other OSS projects that use or support MySQL in any way.

See you there! After having checked into my hotel tonight, I'll try to find my way to Le Roy d'Espagne to meet with others that arrived today.

Testing SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta4

Posted by Lenz Grimmer on
Despite the quite scary-looking list of known bugs in this version, I decided to give 10.1b4 a try and downloaded the 5 CD ISO images.

Unfortunately my installation attempt fizzled out quite quickly after the the first reboot - the bootup procedure aborted while trying to initialize the LVM, which I run on top of a Software-RAID. Some research on the Novell Bugzilla revealed that this had been reported already (BUG#152237) - I hope it will be resolved for the next beta version.

I've added this one to the Most Annoying Bugs list now and hope to find a workaround so I can continue the installation. Otherwise I will have to wait for the next beta, as I can't change the disk layout on this system...
