[opensuse-factory] Grub2 as default bootloader for installation
by Michael Chang 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi all, In factory, yast2-bootloader and perl-Bootloader will be updated with grub2 support and will set as default for installation. However you can go back to your good old grub1 in the loader type selection menu if it doesn't work for you. This will not affect your existing system if you performed update to newest factory, the current loader will remain grub1. But grub2 will be availale in yast2 bootloader and you could switch to use it if you like. It's welcome to report issues to bugzilla and hopefully that issues can get resolved early before 12.2 release. Although we tried to test as much as possible, we can't guarentee the quality without distributing them outside and get more people's feedback and involvement. :) You could refer to the wiki page for current status and information. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:YaST2_And_Perl_Bootloader_Grub2_Modules_Imp… Thanks.

[opensuse-factory] Re: [opensuse-buildservice] How do I unmark packages as a devel project?

The key here is communication and not ignorance, which you showed here: https://build.opensuse.org/stage/package/rdiff?linkrev=base&package=libconf… where you simply chopped a previous submission (by yours truly): https://build.opensuse.org/stage/package/rdiff?linkrev=base&package=libconf… The key concept here would have been called 'merging' and isn't really specific to OBS. But lets go on a bit, after 'working' on that package, you reopened a request to Factory (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/106980) that was reasonably declined (see our packaging policies). It's rather funny that I wanted to do you a favor with just the above submission and fix your issues ;-) Long story short, I would really appreciate if you could stop pretending to be the one true source of wisdom and try to collaborate with others (like me). And don't try to make your home project the devel project for any other project (please revert if you already did), otherwise I'll make mine a devel project of yours! -- Viele Grüße, Sascha Peilicke

[opensuse-factory] eth0 and dbus problems after upgrade to 12.1
by Dave Plater 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Already sent to opensuse list with no reply yet. I updated via 12.1 x86_64 dvd and because I maintain multimedia, I included a few build service repos in thye upgrade. I used zypper dup from 11.3 to 11.4 without problems but this time there are problems which I assume stem from /var/run being a tempfs. I've searched threads on this list and factory list and googling only brought up similar Ubuntu problems but no real help. First problem was having to manually "ifup eth0" to get my network going, I've fixed that with adding "ifup eth0" to "/etc/init.d/boot.local" but the other problem has me stumped. As kde is starting it halts on a message box stating a similar message to this syslog one, clicking ok continues to desktop : pam_systemd(xdm-np:session): Failed to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Thinking that this was caused by the tempfs I also created the dbus directory in boot.local but it doesn't fix anything. I'm surprised that no one has reported a bug and it seems I'm the only one to have this problem, it's maybe leftover from my 11.4 kernel getting mangled when I recompiled with certain extra cdc_phonenet options and then when I updated my non openSUSE VirtualBox-4.1 to 4.1.8 my network died. I fixed this with the 11.4 tumbleweed kernel. Please help, here's a section of my /var/log/messages with lots of the above error message and my boot.msg is at http://pastebin.com/Zpn9AnTp , I'm a bit nervous using pastebin for this so it expires after one day. : Mar 7 10:56:02 Arbuthnot kdm: :0[2184]: pam_systemd(xdm-np:session): Failed to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Mar 7 10:56:04 Arbuthnot checkproc: checkproc: can not get session id for process 2396!

Hi, I just noticed that we should have M2 tomorrow, but I don't think that would be wise - we just checked in a kernel that is supposed to fix compilation i586 - perhaps next week ;( And http://openqa.opensuse.org/results/openSUSE-NET-x86_64-Build0232 doesn't make me look happy either.

Heya all, There are about 27 ideas now on the GSOC ideas page. But if you really want your favorite project to benefit from 3 months of full-time work by a student - you can still get ideas on there! http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_2012_Ideas Remember, the better and more ideas we have, the more students apply. And if more students apply, we have more CHOICE which means we can pick the best, most promising students and have the best results! /Jos

[opensuse-factory] XEmacs anyone?

Hi, as current maintainer I'd like to drop the Xemacs. This because we have GNU-Emacs which with real wide character support as well as better maintained in comparision to Xemacs.

[opensuse-factory] Beta rename

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just had a look at https://bugzilla.novell.com/report.cgi?x_axis_field=version&y_axis_field=pr… and saw that our 12.1-Beta got a good deal more bug reports than 11.4-MS6 or 11.3-MS7, so the renaming could have improved awareness of this release as one of the most important points for testing. Maybe openQA also had it's share.

[opensuse-factory] Plymouth still not accepted in Factory
by Raymond Wooninck 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi, since already two weeks I have been trying to get Plymouth accepted into Factory. The most feared legal review was done within a few hours, but it seems now that nobody is willing to validate the package further so that it can be accepted. I have been updating/correcting the package based on the indications that I have received unofficially, but now since 3 days the plymouth package is still awaiting review. I have spend quite some time in getting it where it is now and I would like to know what the intention is of those in control of Factory. If it is not wanted in Factory, then please indicate this and I will revoke my SR and keep it as a user-supported package in my own home repository. If something is still missing, then I would also like to get an official feedback what this is, so that I can correct it. I know that there are still some rough edges that needs further testing, but this cannot be done without having it in Factory. Also people willing to do the artwork for an openSUSE branding are awaiting the acceptance in Factory so that they can start their work.

[opensuse-factory] gcc 4.6
by Jason Newton 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi! boost 1.48-1.49 have issues (read: compile errors) with gcc 4.6 versions below 4.6.3 due to compiler bugs, apparently itk 4 does as well. Would it be possible to get a bump to 4.6.3 in oS 12.1 updates? devel:gcc has 4.6.3 but I can't get my obs packages to build against that repo simply by including it in the projects meta conf. I think it would be good to have it in official updates anyway.
