openSUSE 12.2 release ！

所以就嘗試安裝 openSUSE 12.2 到  MacBook Mid.2012 (5,2) 上,

不過遇到了一些困難,在這裡把安裝的方法和解決和大家分享：

請注意！
此種安裝方法會有風險,
安裝前請先閱讀公開說明書.

請備份好所有的資料,
並且製作 Mac OS 的 安裝 image.
( 這邊的安裝方法是保留原本的Mac OS,再磁碟中分割多一個 partation 給 openSUSE12.2 )

Step by step install openSUSE 12.2 to Mackbook Air Mid 2012

1. goto http://software.opensuse.org/122/en

選擇 Download的 openSUSE 12.2 （建議是使用 DVD x86_64版本的 iso）

2. Download 完成之後使用工具將 iso放到 usb 3.0 隨身碟裡面使用

可以使用簡單方便好用的 https://github.com/abock/image-usb-stick

3. 在 Mac OS中安裝 rEFIt ,安裝方法可以很簡單到找到,故在此就不贅述了

4. 開始安裝,這時後再開機畫面的option按下f5 選擇 "NO ACPI" 選項
( 需要使用外接鍵盤滑鼠 )

5. 安裝的時候再partation選項來說要使用

6. 自訂安裝磁區選項（下列為建議選項）：
sda1 ( EFI boot partation )
sda2 ( Mac OS )
sda3 ( Recovery HD )
保留不要讓它們被清除,

選擇分割剩下的sda4 成
sda4 -> "swap" ( 建議2GB )
sda5  -> "/"
sda6 -> "/home"
並且把 sda1 選加上一個 /boot/efi 的 mount point.

7. boot loader 選擇 grub2-efi

8. 開始進行安裝

9. 遇到安裝錯誤
看到第一瞬間應該會想說  WTF ㄘㄨㄚˋ賽了,
別擔心,這是因為EFI的driver沒有被掛上,所以我們需要一些步驟來解決這個問題
（原因似乎還不明,但是應該是因為並不是完全被使用EFI boot ）

10. 使用 救援模式 來進行安裝boot loader的動作

11. 進入command line之後：

出現 " login : "
這裡輸入root就好,不會有密碼的問題.

linux-root:~ #mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
linux-root:~ #mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/home
linux-root:~ #mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev
linux-root:~ #mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/proc
linux-root:~ #mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
linux-root:~ #chroot /mnt
linux-root:~ #mount /dev/sda1 /boot/efi
linux-root:~ #grub2-efi-install --target=x86_64-efi

查看發現在 /boot/efi 下面的 EFI/ 裡面有多一個 opensuse/grubx64.efi 的檔案
有的話就大功告成

然後進入到 /boot/grub2-efi/ 裡面修改 grub.cfg

找到 acpi=off 並且修改成 intremap=off ,這樣就可以暫時把 irq remap的問題給屏蔽掉.

然後就可以開心的讓 Gecko 跑在 Macbook AIR 上面了！

[hardware enablement]

Wireless:

• drivers
• 使用 /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware 更新 firmware ( 要再有網路連線狀態下,否則會有黑屏crash的現象發生 ),下載完了之後wireless就可以使用了

Ethernat: 

( Thunderbolt 對 Gigabit 乙太網路轉接器 )

• driver 
• 需要 tg3的patch
• 加入 DNS:
• check /etc/resolv.conf
• add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" or thers.

Here are a couple of web badges made for people who like our project and are going to the Summit in Florida next week. I decided to use a real badge image that I found on this excellent free stock photography website SXC.HU


I decided that it was a good idea to use very bright and contrasted colors. The summit logo works with a deep blue and deep-dark greens. I placed these on a yellow background to give the idea of a sunny place. In case you didn't know, Florida is sunny most of the times.

The KR49 repo holds KDE SC 4.9.1 packages for openSUSE users, including openSUSE 12.2 which was released recently. For information on how to update please refer to the openSUSE wiki.

They do already contain a fix for Bug 306260 – KWin freezes when navigating between windows.

For 12.2 KR49 now includes Tomahawk an alternative to Amarok. Packages such as digikam, calligra etc. were updated to their latest stable release.

Após um atraso de dois meses, o openSUSE Project já anunciou versão 12.2 de sua distribuição Linux. O último grande lançamento do openSUSE é baseado no kernel 3.4 e oferece aos usuários duas opções de ambientes desktop, que pode ser o GNOME 3.4.2 ou o KDE 4.8.4. Na versão 12.1 do openSUSE, o KDE é o ambiente selecionado por padrão. Graças às melhorias no kernel e à uma atualização para o systemd (versão 44), os desenvolvedores do openSUSE dizem que agora ele inicia e executa mais rápido do que antes, enquanto o uso da biblioteca glibc 2.15 melhora o desempenho de muitas funções, especialmente em sistemas de 64 bits.





Outras mudanças under-the-hood incluem a alteração para usar a versão 2.00 do gerenciador de boot GRUB e a mudança para um Plymouth-based relacionado ao processo de start-up. A nova versão do openSUSE traz também pacotes novos e atualizados que incluem a suíte LibreOffice 3.5, editor GIMP 2.8, a versão 2.4 do aplicativo de edição de imagem Krita, Inkscape 0.48.3.1, a versão 2.5 do media player Amarok, o compilador GCC 4.7.1, X.org 1,12, Qt 4.8.1 e o Firefox 14,0 0,1 (os desenvolvedores observam que usuários serão atualizados para a versão 15). Os navegadores Chrome e Rekonq, o programa de editoração Scribus e o leitor de música Tomahawk estão entre os outros aplicativos incluídos.

I just finished creating a new Twitter bacgkground for the release of openSUSE 12.2. Join us in this promoting effort by placing this image as the background on your Twitter account.


Happy release!

Andy (anditosan)

The last few weeks were a bit crazy, but there was a good reason for this: the team I've joined a couple of months ago has been focusing on polishing SUSE Cloud for its first stable release. We had some long working days, but we did it: SUSE Cloud 1.0 went out last week! There's been some positive noise in the online media, which is always good to see :-)

With this first milestone now reached, I've looked back a bit at the switch to my new position. It was a bit of a slow start because of hardware failures (try getting a full development and testing environment for some cloud stuff on one laptop with 2GB of RAM; possible, but painful) and because there was a lot to learn; it was actually quite frustrating to feel useless for so long.

However, it seems I found the highway after coming back from GUADEC and everything is going very smoothly now. Of course, doing something completely different was a bit of a challenge for me, and I didn't know how I'd react to playing nearly full-time with OpenStack and Crowbar (a tool created by Dell to ease OpenStack deployments that we adopted). It turns out I'm enjoying it! On top of that, the SUSE Cloud team is really great, with a good mix of fun and work. The only missing bit is that we haven't properly celebrated the SUSE Cloud release with ice cream — I'll have to get this fixed ;-)

It’s been interesting following the recent discussion about the Linux Desktop and how it failed. It’s a notion that’s been around for some time – I’d say approximately since people tired of discussing whether next year was going to be the Year of the Linux Desktop or so. Painful as it is, it’s also a notion that needs to be discussed, so we can learn from it or at least try to put it to bed.

Sometimes I feel like we’re talking past each other, though. As with any discussion, it’s a good idea to define what we’re talking about:

“Linux”

Most of us use the term “Linux” very loosely (just ask RMS). For instance, it can refer to:

• Linus’ kernel tree, or the tree of some other well-respected Linux maintainer.
• GNU/Linux proper, including the much-loved userspace.
• Anything based on a lightly modified Linux kernel – this is what GNU/Linux distributions tend to ship, but it also appears in routers and all kinds of embedded devices.
• Anything based on a Linux-derived kernel, including heavily modified/forked Linux kernels – the Android kernel comes to mind.

“Success”

As it happens, we also use the term “success” (and conversely, “failure”) very loosely. It reflects who we are and what we want to achieve with Linux, e.g:

• Works-for-me. A solution that works well for ourselves and for some of our friends. Also known as “itch-driven development”.
• Works-for-everyone. We tend to define “everyone” as people who have requirements different from our own – often typified as parents, grandparents, spouses, and so on. Whether these demographics will end up using it is seen as a separate problem. Maybe if you build it, they will come, but it’s not a requirement that they do so.
• Engineering excellence. A product of inherent beauty, often the result of some design process/criteria, but not necessarily addressing a specific problem. Sometimes you will see this masquerading as works-for-everyone, but you’ll be able to tell it’s about excellence by its uncompromising nature.
• Commercial ecosystem. A big, commercial ecosystem built around Linux, often expressed as market share or total revenue generated by sales.
• Big user base. Similar to commercial success in that it emphasizes quantity and popularity, but usually with the aim of enabling freedom/free culture instead of business models.

“Desktop”

This used to mean something like “a top-level graphical user interface with a file browser and application launcher”, but user interfaces have become more diverse, and it might make sense to include media libraries, smartphone interfaces and other environments where you can’t explicitly browse files. We’d have to draw the line somewhere, though – I doubt my router’s configuration UI would make the cut.

What do you want from (GNU/)Linux?

Depending on your perspective, Desktop Linux may be a failure – and if you were expecting to put GNOME in front of a majority of the population of planet Earth, it certainly is.

In many other ways, it’s a success. It’s been a test bed for a very capable free library stack, including GLib, GTK+, Cairo, Pango, D-Bus, GVFS, GStreamer, and more recently, Clutter and Cogl. This is not trivial. The surrounding community has also grown and diversified, and it has nurtured individuals and groups who’ve gone on to do some pretty sterling stuff.

Post scriptum

I think a desktop built on the GNOME platform could still be a moderate commercial success if integrated and marketed skilfully, perhaps tied to some kind of hardware. The window of opportunity hasn’t closed – the UI space is fragmented, Windows 8 is coming out, Valve have announced Steam for Linux (shiny games!) – and our building blocks are better than ever.

Most everyone agrees that going through airport security and being groped by the TSA is not only offensive, but also a major nuisance.

How about replacing the TSA with privately run airport security?

It sounds like San Francisco travelers much prefer their privately run airport security than the TSA at all other US airports.

Hey friends!

Here is a quick way to promote openSUSE's release at your own website. This is taken from Yaloki's website.

If you have a website/blog, here is the HTML markup to add in order to include the openSUSE release countdown image:  The markup above will add a 256x256 pixel image. If you prefer to have the smaller (130x130) one:  And in case you prefer the huge one (400x400px) for maximum visibility: 

Enjoy :D
