[opensuse-factory] Are additional locales necessary?
by Ilya Chernykh 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

On my 11.4 machine as well on 12.1 (according to this user's report http://tinyurl.com/5tjuorp ) there are multiple excess locales. For example, for Russian-language installation there are: anixx@anixx-desktop:~> du -hs /usr/lib/locale/en_US* 288K /usr/lib/locale/en_US 292K /usr/lib/locale/en_US.iso885915 1,5M /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8 anixx@anixx-desktop:~> du -hs /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU* 288K /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU 288K /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU.koi8r 1,5M /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU.utf8 Is there a need for non-UTF8 locales? That is why the following ones are installed by default: 288K /usr/lib/locale/en_US 292K /usr/lib/locale/en_US.iso885915 288K /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU 288K /usr/lib/locale/ru_RU.koi8r -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

I started some updates for 12.1 with different test-cases again and they should be available soon at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/12.1:/Update/standard/. Thank you for testing!

[opensuse-factory] Calling whoever cares about languages and compilers!
by Jos Poortvliet 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Heya all, Based on the info we've got up and until now, we wrote a text about what's new in openSUSE 12.1 in the area of languages and compilers. You can read it in the pastebin below: http://pastebin.com/0iyAtHDU (btw it's not on openSUSE paste because it concludes I'm a spammer (probably due to the links) when I try to paste it there...) If you care about languages and compilers, have a look and tell us what's missing by adding bullet points and links here: http://ietherpad.com/12-1-release-notes (around line 125 you find the language/compiler section) Thanks!!! Jos

[opensuse-factory] swapoff does swapon instead ...
by Per Jessen 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

This is probably an operator fault, but I simply can't see it - On a Factory system, kernel 3.1.0-rc9-1-desktop 32bit, I'm using swapspace over iscsi, it is added via udevd when iscsid is started. I create a link /dev/swapspace pointing to the scsi device, and swap is added, works very well. However, when I try to turn swap off, it only gets added (again). This is what is looks like (same list: http://files.jessen.ch/stork1.txt) A newly booted system: per@stork1:~> uptime 08:50 up 0:03, 1 user, load average: 0.05, 0.09, 0.05 per@stork1:~> swapon -s Absolute path to 'swapon' is '/sbin/swapon', so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root). per@stork1:~> su - Password: stork1:~ # swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sde partition 4194300 0 -1 stork1:~ # dmesg | grep swap [ 30.179826] Adding 4194300k swap on /dev/sde.

See bug #715265. This is also happening with 12.1 RC1. I frequently use this feature, so hopefully it gets fixed soon. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] No audio on YouTube

I just tried watching video from YouTube with Firefox. While I get video, there is no audio. I also can't play .MP3s. What's missing that prevents playing audio? I have 12.1 RC1 installed on a ThinkPad E520. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Hang when booting the RC1 installer
by Guido Berhoerster 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Hi, when booting the RC1 installer on my netbook it just hangs after "Starting udev...". There's no kernel panic and it works fine on another notebook and desktop machine so it looks like it's hardware-specific. How do I debug this? -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Whatever it's called, it's there on the 12.1 Live CD and not the installed version. As for the firmware, yes, I know it's not being loaded. I included the dmesg info in my bug report. The WiFi also works with the Live CD, but again the KNetworkManager widget that appears on the bar does not enable WiFi. If I use the ifup method, instead of KNetworkManager, I can connect to my WiFi here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Received this today...
by Ilya Chernykh 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

this may sound funny, but I specifically came to speculate with you about what opportunities are given to work with the openSUSE network. Today downloaded the live-CD 12.1 RC1, to admire the wallpaper changes to the system and directly, GNOME3, which until today I could only judge by the screenshots. and so, with this distribution network is not working, my modem E153 can not connect. I think they forget in a hurry usb_modeswitch. So much for the friendliness and iskorobochnost, and work with two modems on sverhskorostyah. I understand that it is not yet released, but ... * buntu in such ridiculous problems are not even in alpha-versions. Today once again convinced that the move to openSUSE c Kubuntu does not make sense. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 12.1 update stack testing
by Will Stephenson 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

I'm trying to test Apper, the renamed latest version of KPackageKit on 12.1 and need to clarify how the update tests *should* work. If I revert all the update-test- packages to their 12.1 vanilla versions, I see update-test-affects-package-manager as the only update. However, installing this update also pulls in every other update-test- package, immediately. Expected behaviour would be for update-test-package- manager to install, Apper to restart itself, then for it to present the other update-test-packages. Since update-test-affects-package-manager does not require or recommend any of these packages, I looked at http://download.opensuse.org/12.1/repodata/updateinfo.xml.gz, and this lists all the other packages as belonging to the update with id update-test-affects- package-manager. Is this correct? If so, what is the mechanism that causes u-t-a-p-m to pull in the other u-t packages?
