[opensuse-factory] mawk as an alternative to gawk
by Guido Berhoerster 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

I'd like to propose the inclusion of mawk into Factory as an alternative to gawk. This requires two changes, gawk would need to support update-alternatives and mawk would need to be added to Factory. My rationale is that mawk is significantly faster than gawk, that it is (almost, still WIP) POSIX.2 compliant and supports only few extensions, which allows for testing and ensuring the portability of scripts. There should be no side effects, mawk would remain an optional package and have a lower update-alternatives priority than gawk. Even if installed manually gawk would remain the default awk, only through manually calling update-alternatives mawk could permanently become the default. mawk is currently in Contrib, I have prepared two branches with the required changes and tested the resulting packages but I'd like to hear if there are any objections or suggestions before sending a sr. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 11.3M1 KDE LiveCD Fails on Thinkpad A22m
by Larry Stotler 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

When I use the M1 disk, I get a corrupted desktop that basically freezes the computer unless I select Text Mode. The display is 1400x1050 with an ATI Mobility M3/8MB chip. None of the graphics options worked(I did not try VESA). This chip is very well supported. When selecting Text Mode and Installation, you don't get anything except a login prompt. If we aren't supporting installation from Text Mode, maybe that shouldn't be an allowed option? Or maybe there should be some text explaining that you can't install from Text mode? I was able to run SaX2 from Text Mode to properly select the video settings and when I did an "init 5" the installation started. I was given a warning that I need 1GB to run the installation from the LiveCD. Is this really a requirement now? The machine only supports 512MB MAX. Also, I have a swap partition. Perhaps it could be set to ask if an existing swap partition should be used? Installing now. Will update on what happens when it's done. And Yes, I know M2 is out. Don't have an internet connection fast enough to pull it ATM, and I needed to do a reinstall because my 11.0 install got corrupted and only had the M1 disk handy so thought I would give it a go. Also, now we have to check the box to agree with the license agreement? I thought that it wasn't necessary anymore as of 11.1 or something....

[opensuse-factory] 11.3M1 fails to install in VirtualBox
by Tejas Guruswamy 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Hi folks, I've been trying to install 11.3M1 into a VirtualBox VM but every installation i've tried hangs at "Loading basic drivers..." immediately after selecting "Installation" on the boot screen. No keys work, screen freezes. I have another machine which I dup'ed from 11.2 to factory and that works in the same virtualbox, so I don't think its a major kernel incompatibility. I'm running VirtualBox 3.1.4BETA2. I've tried Milestone 1 netinstall + DVD, and build 437 netinstall, i586. Does anyone have a successful install of 11.3 in VirtualBox? Can anyone tell me how to get more info on what modules the kernel is trying to load? None of the other VTs are active yet at the stage where it hangs... Are there any kernel options I should try? I already tried nolapic, noacpi, and the "Failsafe" kernel. I've seen some old bug reports on bnc that never seemed to have been resolved, but I would guess that they're not related.

[opensuse-factory] status: distribution
by Stephan Kulow 15 Feb '10

[one more mail I sent to the wrong address ;-( ] Hi, If you look at the roadmap, it says we want to release Milestone2 today. But as Milestone1 announcement was just 10 days ago, I move this to next week. It would be good if more people submitted fixes for packages, so we're fine - especially the perl packages (including 3 yast modules) look worrying, compare https://build.opensuse.org/project/status?project=openSUSE:Factory "63 not building" Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Plans for X11R7.5 (Xorg server 1.7) in Factory?
by Robert Kaiser 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Hi, I recently visited the x.org websites and saw that X11R7.5 (a.k.a. X.org server 1.7) has been available for a while now as a stable release. In Factory as well as OBS, I still see R7.4 though. Are there plans to upgrade X.org to that newer release in Factory? I would have guessed that with all the buzz about KMS and phasing out sax2 that an upgrade of X.org was in the works, but I couldn't find stuff to test there...

[opensuse-factory] 11.3 Milestone 1 KDE Live CDs
by Basil Chupin 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

I am running a 32-bit system. I have now downloaded - from ftp5.gwdg.de (Factory) site - the Build0422 and Build0436 copies of the 11.3 Milestone 1 KDE Live CDs. Neither will "run" (ie, do what they are supposed to do: provide me with a Live version of 11.3). Both are OK as far as passing Media Checks, and Verify when being 'burned' in K3b, is concerned. Both CDs stop "Dead, never to go again, when...." they get to either- * "Disabling IP Forwarding."; or * "Checking quotas. This may take some time." at the beginning of the 'loading' process. I've had no problems with Live CDs of previous (KDE) versions of openSUSE. Am I missing some info. about why these Builds of 11.3 KDE Live CDs will not "run", unless some magical incantations are first performed in the nude and under a full moon? If so, I would greatly appreciate being informed of what those incantations are - but I simply refuse to be in the nude! :-) BC -- "If it weren't for electricity we'd be all watching televion by candlelight."

[opensuse-factory] 11.0 - gnome-setting-daemon crash - will not start after kde 4.4 install - help?
by David C. Rankin 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

Factory Folks, This is a post for which I didn't get a response on the user list. I've described the problem below. Bottom line, something in the kde44 install causes the gnome-setting-daemon to crash in 11.0 and I cannot figure out what's going on. One thing that is new to me is this 'parcellite' process. I don't know if it is related, but I don't recall ever seeing a parcellite error before. Bottom line, I need your help to figure out how to restore the gnome setting daemon. Let me know if you want me to send anything else or if you have any ideas of any tests to run to isolate the problem. This is a problem for both i586 and x86_64. I have the same problem on two separate 11.0 boxes that I moved to kde44 for testing. I have placed the current .xsession-errors file at: (140k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/kde4/xsession-crashes_02.txt.bz2 The original post follows. Let me know your thoughts, I'm stumped. Thanks. listmates, As mentioned earlier, after the kde44 install, gnome is really messed up on 11.0. I have gone back and collected all the symptoms I can in hope somebody can help me figure out how to fix gnome. Gnome was working perfectly immediately before kde44 install. After the install, it looks is has lost the ability to set any of its setting. What is very strange is that the fonts are huge even though they are set at the same 8pt as in kde. The look like they are 12-14pt without the gnome settings daemon running. Here is what happens when I try to start gnome: Immediately after typing in my username/password and selecting gnome, the following error is received during gnome start: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Then, the first thing you notice on login - No background (the splash screen is left as the bg). The Lower and Upper Panels are Present and work, it just looks strange against the splash background. So I open Gnome Control Panel. It opens just fine, but like everything else is completely bland without any settings applied. I then try and click appearance to see if I can adjust any settings. Immediately Upon Clicking Appearance, the following occurs: (1) the proper window color and decorations appear for ~1 second, then: (2) gnome-settings-daemon crash. Error: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The error is repeatable every time. The appearance daemon will ultimately open after ~15-20 seconds, however it is non-functional. Meaning you can click the button, but nothing changes. The Fonts: In Gnome, the fonts are 4-5 points larger in appearance than they are set. Currently I have them set at 8pt and they look more like 12 or 14pt. Probably some xdpy stuff that the gnome-settings-daemon does? Compiz will start, but it starts with a Black Screen. The only way to get your desktop back is the switch back to metacity.

First question -- What else can I post that might help? I would really like to get gnome back up and running. How in the world could installing kde mess up gnome. That's not supposed to happen. What are your thoughts on how to fix this? What tests to try? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
