[opensuse-factory] apparmor 2.5
by Peter Czanik 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hello, I asked Jeff, when AppArmor 2.5 will hit Factory, as it's needed for syslog-ng to function properly (or actually the updated profile...). He told me, that it was submitted to Factory over a week ago. When is it expected to be included in Factory?

Donn, please continue to communicate on opensuse-factory, thanks. On Sat, 08 Jan 2011 13:23:40 -0600, Donn Washburn <n5xwb(a)comcast.net> wrote: >Alright Philipp I will give that a try.

You'll have to register for a novell login first though if you don't have one already (don't know if an opensuse.org login suffices). I'll have a look at both bugs on Monday when I'm back at work.

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Wireless and Suspend not working
by Sankar P 09 Jan '11

09 Jan '11

I tested tumbleweed repositories in my thinkpad T400. Wireless and Suspend do not work in this laptop and it used to work on 11.3. When I press suspend, the mahcine goes to suspend and immediately wakes up. On googling I found the link http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,224256 So hopefully be this issue will be fixed in the next few updates. If not, I will open a bug. For networking none of the addresses ever get resolved. I have tried with putting Google's DNS also and it doesn't work. Wired network works fine. Attached is the strace output of ping command in wireless. -- Sankar P http://psankar.blogspot.com

[opensuse-factory] QT4 builds of Firefox
by C 08 Jan '11

08 Jan '11

Is anyone here aware of this yet? The very very alpha builds are here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-cen… I haven't seen any discussion about this yet... has anyone got this on their ToDo list yet? Would be nice to get these builds included somewhere... somehow (especially once they stabilize a little). They aren't working very well yet (no default theme) but... maybe we can help out with the testing?

[opensuse-factory] autogen + autoconf
by Donn Washburn 08 Jan '11

08 Jan '11

Hey Group; I see two problems with 11.4 M5 and it's autogen and autoconf versions. I had both as factory supplied version. Autogen in 11.4 M5 (5.11.1) failed to setup many files correctly. It would only make 2 or 3 levels deep as per example /usr/share/myfile/* I replaced it with 5.11.5 and thing work different. It now will works to at least 5 levels /usr/share/myfile/another/andmore. This was proven on BrlCAD source. Also autoconf is missing some of the development files request by a source. I replaced it with the same version and it now it works. This all was found while looking for why --exec-prefix=${prefix} is not found This is also true with gpm. on a i586 and x86-64 AMD non Intel boxes. Both were loaded via the NET -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed and 11.4
by jdd 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Hello, Just a word of clarification. I am right if I think than tumbleweed running config will (if all goes well) be nearly identical to 11.4 RcX say in late February? in other words, it could be very easy to update from tumbleweed to 11.4 (more than from raw 11.3 to 11.4)? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] nvidia drivers on Factory?
by Christian Boltz 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

[for some reason mlmmj rejected this mail last night - trying again] [Stefan (was in CC): thanks for the answer, I'll reply later.] Hello, I just updated from 11.3 to factory and wanted to compile the nvidia drivers. However, I get (nvidia-installer.log): ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/2.6.37-rc7-desktop/source'. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option. Google pointed me to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142794 but even with the patch from there I get the same error message. Can someone give me a hint how I can compile the nvidia driver on Factory? (I'll also accept a link to a RPM of course ;-) My graphics card is a GeForce 8600M GS, and the nvidia website gave me NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run for download. BTW: I'm using a dualhead setup (laptop display + external monitor), and the nv and nouveau drivers don't do what they should :-( - nv only activates the external monitor, and I can't activate the laptop display - at least in kcontrol's monitor setup (Interestingly I was able to setup both screens when I booted a 11.3 live DVD some days ago. Not sure if it is a regression or if the existence of the old xorg.conf hurts somehow) - nouveau starts in clone mode, but hangs at logout (only SysRQ keys work) (Are those issues worth bugreports, or it is already known stuff?)

[opensuse-factory] Installer and DEFAULT_WM
by Guido Berhoerster 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

How is DEFAULT_WM being set during installation? Currently DEFAULT_WM is set to "gnome" when doing a default XFCE install. We have switched from xdm to the gdm login manager in the XFCE pattern, could this be the cause? -- 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] New packages: libstfl, newsbeuter
by Pascal Bleser 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Upon a request from Greg, I'd like to propose the following packages to be included in Factory: * libstfl * newsbeuter Note that libstfl is only there because it's a dependency to newsbeuter. An alternative approach would be to have libstfl as a static in-tree build inside the newsbeuter package, as it isn't used by anything else at this point. =================================== libstfl (devel:libraries:c_c++) =================================== "Structured Terminal Forms Library" "STFL is a library which implements a curses-based widget set for text terminals. The STFL API can be used from C, SPL, Python, Perl and Ruby. Since the API is only 14 simple function calls big and there are already generic SWIG bindings it is very easy to port STFL to additional scripting languages. A special language (the Structured Terminal Forms Language) is used to describe STFL GUIs. The language is designed to be easy and fast to write so an application programmer does not need to spend ages fiddling around with the GUI and can concentrate on the more interesting programming tasks." Note that the spec file does not build the python, perl and ruby bindings, as it is currently only needed as a dependency for newsbeuter (and I'm not aware of any other application that needs it). First revision of that package there is 2008-08-21. Development is very slow, up to now it averages to one release per year, to me it's really in maintenance mode more than anything else. Mailing-list: http://www.rocklinux.net/mailman/listinfo/stfl (barely any activity) URL: http://www.clifford.at/stfl/ License: LGPLv3 Dependencies: * ncurses-devel =================================== newsbeuter (network:utilities) =================================== "RSS/Atom Feed Reader for Text Terminals" "Newsbeuter is an open-source RSS/Atom feed reader for text terminals. It runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and other Unix-like operating systems. Newsbeuter's great configurability and vast number of features make it a perfect choice for people that need a slick and fast feed reader that can be completely controlled via keyboard." Hence, it's a feedreader for the console. First revision is 2008-08-22. Development is rather slow too, but it's still being maintained as far as I can see. Currently has 40 open issues and feature requests, none of them security related.
