[opensuse-factory] new package - ext4magic
by Greg Freemyer 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

All, ext4magic has recently been accepted into factory. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=ext4magic&project=openSUSE%… It is a data recovery tool for ext4 filesystems. The license is GPL-2.0+ It is meant to be used against unmounted filesystems. Per the author: === For me, the program and its functions completed tested and stable up to 16TByte filesystem size. 64Bit file systems are not implemented. Not tested at the moment: - the new library releases form last 2 Weeks libmagic and libext2fs - file systems written with new Kernel (only testet written with 2.6 Kernel) - BigEndian CPUs not testet very extensively === I think opensuse is the first distro to have this tool in it. This is part of my effort to bring DFIR (digital forensic / incident response) apps to factory. This is likely one of the few that will have broad appeal to users.

[opensuse-factory] Is it systemmd or something else?
by Basil Chupin 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

For many years I have been able to boot the system with "init 1" on the grub command line and then do 'mount -o remount /dev/[hdaX/sdaX]' to be able to execute 'e2fsck /dev/sdaX'. I just tried to do this while running Milestone #2 of 12.2 and got nowhere :-( . I kept getting the error message, "/ is busy". Why this error message? Is it to do with this systmmd thingie or something else? Thanks for any help as I would like to make sure that my file system IS alright.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Tumbleweed status for the week of March 26, 2012
by Greg KH 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

It's been about a year since I did a status report of what's going on in the openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo, let me know if you find this actually useful or not so that I can determine if I should keep it up. - As everyone knows, Tumbleweed is running on top of openSUSE:12.1, the transition to 12.1 was rocky for some people who thought that Tumbleweed was somehow a "full" distro, and not just an add-on on top of a stable openSUSE release. To make things easier for future updates of the base openSUSE release, please point to the "current" repo, not the explicitly numbers repo. For more details how to do this, see the Tumbleweed wiki page[1]. - kernel 3.3.0 is in Tumbleweed, and seems to be working well so far. - KDE 4.8 is now in Tumbleweed, be careful if you previously had added the KDE repo manually to your system, you should now remove it as I have no idea how well it will interact with this. - Because of the KDE 4.8 update, LibreOffice was dropped from Tumbleweed. This is due to build issues with the package, not any runtime issue that I can determine. LibreOffice fails to build on Factory at the moment as well, and a bug is open about this, hopefully it gets resolved soon. - XFCE has been updated in Tumbleweed to the latest version - vim finally showed up, after a brief breakage that I caused, sorry about that, all should be good now. - To preempt any questions about a GNOME update in Tumbleweed, I am looking into it, but it will not happen until it stabilizes in Factory first. As always, if anyone knows of any packages they wish to see added to Tumbleweed, please let me know. thanks, greg k-h [1] http://en.opensuse.org/Tumbleweed -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Greg KH 28 Mar '12

by Felix Miata 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

No applications to choose. All that's in there is Favorites, Run Command and Log Out in classic, and little better in bling version. Fresh M2/KDE installation. What package is responsible for there being any applications listed in the Starter? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] Milestone 2 sshd being launched in non-deamon mode
by Sid Boyce 27 Mar '12

After upgrading to Milestone 2 I wasn't able to ssh into the box after a reboot. /lib/systemd/system/sshd.service had the "-D" option so connections were being refused. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] zypper in gfxboot does not create /boot/message
by Felix Miata 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Should it? I had to do a textmode M2 install, so to minimize the pain only did a minimal server, with Grub Legacy and sysvinit-init, then added various X/DE packages using only zypper, with solver.onlyRequires = true. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] Fglrx and 11.4, can't find a resolution
by Roger Luedecke 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

I wanted to use the fglrx driver with openSUSE 11.4 on my new (to me) laptop. I am good at following instructions, but I get an error saying that the catalyst thingy or the ATI installer (from the site) can't find a compatible adapter... despite all available information indicating that my device is supported. I have sought help elsewhere, and am at a loss. Besides that I would like to have the better performance for a couple of things, I need to get to the bottom of this issue. The laptop I purchased (used) has AMD and ATI, which are unfamiliar and was the motive for getting the old laptop... so I could learn these chips and be able to better assess clients or users in the community and be of assistance. 1:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
