The Serendipity virtual server is a pre-configured Novell openSUSE 10.2 project server that is set up to be similar to how Team Serendipity's project server was originally set up. Its purpose is to ease the setup of new software projects by providing MediaWiki, Subversion, Bugzilla, WebDAV shared folders, and other technologies with AppArmor security and LDAP authentication integration out of the box using the easy-to-administrate YaST system configuration tool.
Unfortunately, the DVDs that were sent out had a few bugs. These are addressed on this page.
Version 1 Bugs and Solutions
- SerendipityServer.vmx file will not run in VMware Player on Windows

- Click on the "Network Card" item within the "Network Devices" category
- ZMD uses extreme amounts of CPU and memory while updating
- I had only recently found out that it's possible to remove ZMD from openSUSE 10.2 to get faster and more reliable updates
- To do this, run `yast2` in the terminal window
- In YaST, select "Software Management" within the "Software" category
- After the software management window finishes its start-up processing, type "zmd" into the "Search:" input box without the quotes and press the "Search" button
- Right-click on zmd in the list, select "All in This List," and select "Delete"
- Press the "Accept" button to commit these changes
- In the conflict warning dialog box, select "delete zmd" and "delete zen-updater." Press the "OK -- Try Again" button
- When asked, tell YaST that you don't want to install any more packages
