[opensuse-factory] Printing KDE-Help-Center: Too large font size?
by Dominik Baumann 28 Sep '12

28 Sep '12

Hi, printing help:/kcontrol/windowbehaviour/index.html from KDE help center prints with too large fonts. Even when decreased to minimal font size it still looks so: http://wstaw.org/m/2012/08/31/plasma-desktopDM1411.jpg I don't remember wether i still have the original KDE font settings or wether i changed them after installation (because of NX issues) So, before i will do a bug report: Can someone confirm this bug? db PS: Printing the above mentioned URL from konqueror is much better. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] python2 or python3
by Alin M Elena 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Hi, I see that the factory has both python2 and python3. Are there any plans about switching to python3 as default? I will also appreciate if the python maintainers can push=20 home:HighwayStar:branches:devel:languages:python python3-matplotlib Alin PS can we also, cripple kmail by default, or update the settings of our mailing list to accept html emails... It is bloody annoying to get your messages bounced back because of the default settings of the mail client. -- Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Alin Marin ELENA Advanced Molecular Simulation Research Laboratory School of Physics, University College Dublin ---- Ardionsamblú Móilíneach Saotharlann Taighde Scoil na Fisice, An Coláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://alin.elenaworld.net ______________________________________________________________________ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed kernel changes to help upstream development
by Greg KH 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hi all, As part of one of the Linux kernel Summit discussions today, it was brought up that after a kernel is released (for example 3.5), it's a bit too late to be doing testing to see how well it is working out. The .0 release is usually a bit rough, and it takes until the .1 or .2 release to get most major issues out of the way. So, the kernel developers would like to get a wider range of testing, and one thing proposed would be to have rolling distros switch their kernel over a bit earlier to the new release than they had been doing. Specifically, around the -rc5 point in time would be great. That way, any reported regressions could be fixed sooner and get into the final .0 release for everyone to use. Now this does place a bit of a larger burden on the users of those distros to be diligent in reporting problems, and the distro engineers to report the issues upstream as well, but it sounds like a reasonable thing to try out. So, for the next kernel release, I'm thinking of switching the kernel in Tumbleweed over to 3.6 at the -rc5 timeframe. Does anyone strongly object to this happening? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] segfault on zypper dup completion

I just did a dup to a 32 bit Beta 2 P4/Celeron system last dup'd about 6 weeks ago (host t2240). It appeared to complete normally, but after the zypper ps warning there was a segmentation fault line.

[opensuse-factory] Erasing the 1st VT at boot or not (systemd question)
by Carlos E. R. 15 Sep '12

15 Sep '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I boot 12.2 in text mode, with this line: title Desktop -- openSUSE 12.2 - verbose II root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-label/Main resume=/dev/disk/by-label/Swap showopts splash=verbose console=tty1 loglevel=3 vga=0x333 3 initrd /boot/initrd This produces a detailed log during boot showing the services as they start or fail, which I find nice and productive. The problem is that when the virtual terminals are created, the previous text is erased. How can I avoid that? With system V this was controlled in inittab: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4 5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5 6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6 See the first terminal? It is different. Where is the equivalent for systemd? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-factory] Packaging Guideline enforcement
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 13 Sep '12

13 Sep '12

Dear Factory contributors and packagers, As openSUSE 12.2 is frozen and Factory is 'open to go wild' again, I would like to announce that the packaging guidelines have some extensions (not really new) that will be stricter enforced than they used to be. Currently a common rule to be 'ignored' or packagers are not aware is around the topics of: - .Changes entries - Patches First, the .changes entry (rpm changelog) surves two purposes: - News for the user - History tracking of packaging changes (often referenced in bugs to verify if a user has the latest packaging bugfixeS). A simple "Update to version x.y.z" is, as before, not accepted. There should be some buzz around the update for the user; some major reasons to the upgrade should be listed Changes on the package itself should be mentioned in a way that any other contributor to the same package can follow traces of why something is the way it is. Commonly, Added (build)dependencies are interesting to be seen, special hacks to make something work in a particular way [..]: Always consider that package maintenance is a distributed task and various contributors need to be able to step up at will. Patches: The rules about patches are listed at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Patches_guidelines . Most prominent is likely the mentioning of the patches life cycle, which forces you to mention additions and removals of patches in the changelog. As history shows, this can be helpful if a patch got removed, and later a regression is reported; finding out when a patch was removed can be crucial in reconstructing feature sets (including contacting the contributor that dropped it.. which is easily extracted from the .changes if listed) The main appeal is to the devel project maintainers / reviewers, to keep out for those rules, to live according to them, as it is frustrating for everybody if a package needs to be declined by the Factory Review team: - The dev prj maintainer is the one getting the 'decline' (as it was usually a forwarded request), which often leaves the 'fixing' to the devel project maintainers, where the 'originator' of the fix would have been willing to actually do that... And the Factory Review team also prefers to see complying submissions to having to reject SRs... reject is not fun for anybody! Looking forward to many more SRs to accept!

[opensuse-factory] Checking Release Notes
by Karl Eichwalder 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Approaching the release date it would be good if more eyes would take a look at the release notes and provide feedback. Find the sources of the release notes in the berlios SVN: https://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/opensuse/trunk/documentation/release-n… I'd prefer patches against the XML file, but general feedback based on the HTML or YaST output format is also fine. We especially must make sure to eliminate all CHECKIT remarks ;) I added most of these CHECKIT remarks to old systemd related entries that I took over from the 12.1 document. aTdHvAaNnKcSe! -- Karl Eichwalder SUSE LINUX Products GmbH R&D / Documentation Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

by lynn 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

12.2 RC2 I ran zypper DUP yesterday and it updated around 190 packages. I did it again just now and there are another 174 today including having to accept a 12.2 licence agreement that includes a typo. Today's stuff includes new packages such as samba 3.6.7 and a new kernel 3.4.6-1.10.1 Is this the GM?

Hi Is it too late to ask for the latest nss-pam-ldapd package to be included in 12.2? The latest stable version is 0.8.10 whilst 12.1 and 12.2 are stuck with the older 0.7.x series.
