[opensuse-factory] 2011-01-16 factory-tested status
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, openSUSE-Factory has seen a many updates in recent days, certainly because Milestone 6 of 6 is coming this week. Testing on http://openqa.opensuse.org/ remains interesting. The rate is currently constant at 36 testruns per day, but might increase next week due to new hardware generously sponsored by B1-Systems. There is still https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660464 randomly affecting many 32bit testruns on KVM (and probably still VirtualBox). However, the very same 2.6.37-kernel works on my two Laptops (except for a panic on suspend-to-RAM). VMs are an important platform for testers/users, so this should not be taken lightly. The other new issue first observed 2011-01-14 12:50 with repo-Build0898 is that /etc/mtab contains only one or two lines, causing df in the "textinfo" test to produce less output. Since this did not have more obvious consequences and was not auto-checked, it slipped through into the factory-tested repo. I have now added a mtab test to make this failure more obvious. The test's log-files now include a list of installed rpms, so it will be easier to trace down which package/update caused an issue. also new: - - XFCE installs are now launching GNOME instead of icewm by default even though DEFAULT_WM is properly set to startxfce4 - - two small kontact issues filed upstream - - upgrade from 11.1 needs some manual work with kernel-default* recently fixed: - - Xorg/gdm with gnomedevel started working today - - firefox4 no more segfaulting on LXDE/XFCE - - most of the other things on the previous list other improvements: - - the results web-interface now got a "ignore boring results" checkbox to hide results that likely only showed known issues. - - there is now a openqabot posting new test results on #opensuse-testing - - on 2011-01-06 (a public holiday in Nuremberg) I had taken some hours to adapt the OS-autoinst framework to testrun Debian and Fedora systems (of course, the results are nowhere as nice as with openSUSE ;-) http://www3.zq1.de/fedora/Fedora-14-i386-netinst.iso.ogv http://www3.zq1.de/debian/cdimage.debian.org/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.is...

For the record, I unloaded Build 1016 of the i586 NET install CD and installed it on a VirtualBox VM. The only problem I had was that it did not get an IP via DHCP when the network was configured the NAT option. After I switched to BRIDGE mode, all was OK. I was surprised to see that the kernel is 2.6.37-rc5, not the 2.6.37 that I expected.

The explanation is very simple. All NET install CDs use the 11.4 repo by default, which redirects to MS5 atm, which did not yet have this bug. You explicitly have to change the source in isolinux bootloader via F4 to /factory/repo/oss I know two other people who did the same yesterday, when they wanted to install Factory. This indicates that this workflow should be better documented or otherwise be aided. You could also just try booting up any i586 Build10xx.iso 10 times - it does contain the new kernel+udev and see if it works every time.

It failed on try #6. This may be a nasty one to find. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

statistics help here i586 tests since ~2011-01-03 64 OK 48 fail late 45 fail early i686-LiveCD tests since 2010-12-20 8 OK 1 fail late 36 fail early This shows, it is much easier to reproduce with i686 LiveCDs (80% failing early), so those should be preferred for testing. I think there was also a workaround patch given in the slackware forum linked in my bugreport(660464), so maybe we could apply that for MS6.
