[opensuse-factory] Too many packages to process
by Vojtěch Zeisek 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

I'm not sure, if this is bug or feature... After few days, update applet (TW, KDE) says there are 6843 new updates (TeX, R, ... ;-). When I click to "Install updates" error "Too many packages to process (6843/5200)" appears. Zypper handles it well. Is it worth of bug report? To b.o.o? Yours, V. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/

[opensuse-factory] [SOLVED] ssh-agent problems with XFCE / gnome-keyring-daemon
by Stefan Seyfried 25 Sep '18

25 Sep '18

Hi all, After a TW update in the last few weeks, ssh with ssh-agent did no longer work with my established setup. (I did not verify the problem with a pristine user account, though). I have set up my system (a loooong time ago... ;)) so that the ssh key is stored somehow in gnome-keyring-daemon and gets unlocked upon login. The ssh-agent knows the key: seife@strolchi:~> ssh-add -l 1024 SHA256:96ejSSf7kXLZRWhEE4oJUk20+RukUpSJOu4elrVABCU seife@strolchi (RSA) ...but it did not work: seife@strolchi:~> ssh server sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation Password: If I now refreshed the agent with "ssh-add", and entered my passphrase, then ssh without password did work. The journal showed the following: Apr 08 18:28:41 strolchi gnome-keyring-daemon[1868]: the /usr/bin/ssh-add command failed: Child process exited with code 1 Apr 08 18:28:41 strolchi gnome-keyring-daemon[1868]: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/gcr-ssh-askpass): No such file or directory So the solution was to install the gcr-ssh-askpass package (which provides /usr/lib/gcr-ssh-askpass) and now everything is working as before.

[opensuse-factory] Leap 15.0 - Bluetooth - Failed to change profile to a2dp_sink
by Linux Kamarada 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Hi, everyone! My laptop is an Acer Aspire E15 with a built-in Bluetooth 4.0 adapter, namely Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth 4.0 (ID 04ca:3014). I had to tweak Leap 42.3 for it work, here is a brief of what I did: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/524410-Qualcomm-Atheros-Bluetoot… Then I was using the kernel-default 4.13.6 and kernel-firmware from the Kernel:stable OBS repo. When I upgraded to Leap 15.0 Beta, I switched to the kernel-default 4.12.14 and kernel-firmware from the Leap 15.0 OSS repo. Now, even though my Bluetooth adapter is working, I am not able to pair with my headset (Philips SHB3060) using the A2DP profile. I installed Blueman, which gives some more control and information than GNOME's System Settings. Using Blueman, when I try to change my headset to the A2DP profile I get this: "Failed to change profile to a2dp_sink" I tested downloading Leap 15.0 GNOME Live, flashing it into an USB stick and booting from it. Bluetooth was not recognized at first, but blacklisting the acer_wmi module (see my forum post for details) and rebooting was enough. Then, Bluetooth worked normally (including switching to the A2DP profile). So, I believe it is a problem on my setup, not on Leap 15.0 itself, i.e. a clean install would be half of the solution, the another half blacklisting the acer_wmi module and rebooting. Any ideas on what changed and how I can make the A2DP profile work again? Thank you!

[opensuse-factory] [Tumbleweed] krdc stopped working
by Achim Gratz 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Unfortunately I can't say when exactly this happened, but while I was updating a Win7 laptop today I tried to log into it via krdc and that no longer works. At first I thought it was related to the new firewalld, but apparently there's some problem with Xcb?

[opensuse-factory] Mailinglist changes going forward
by Simon Lees 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

Hello everyone, Firstly I am cross posting this across a number of mailinglists because this post affects several, but I would ask that you keep your replies / feedback on the openSUSE project list as not to fragment discussion. It has been raised with the board by several members of the community that some of our mailinglists have not been working as effectively as we would like. As such and as raised in our annual discussion with the community during the conference, the board has decided to take a couple of steps that we hope will resolve these issues or that will at least be a starting point in resolving these issues. Firstly we have created a new opensuse-support(a)o.o mailing list, we as the board felt that in the transition from factory -> tumbleweed in particular the change in role for opensuse(a)o.o did not work well and in many cases there was an attitude that factory/tumbleweed issues should still be posted on the factory mailing list. As such we have created the support mailing list to help clarify these changes in policy that we don't believe worked when we tried to change them last time. In short we would like you to use opensuse-support(a)o.o whenever you require support whether it is for Tumbleweed, Leap (regardless of whether you are using a Leap beta or not) or any other project under the openSUSE umbrella. This brings us to the next issue, posting bugs / bug reports on mailing lists rather then bugzilla. This is a practice we would like to see stopped and we will be gently reminding people if they continue posting bugs on mailinglists, this especially includes if a package / application breaks when updating tumbleweed / leap (including beta's). We would ask that you search for your issue prior to reporting but in case you accidentally report a duplicate bug its easy for us to mark it as such, also if you report something that is intentional and not a bug it doesn't take long to mark it as such, so if in doubt file a bug rather then posting to a mailing list, there is useful information for filing bugs at the following links [1][2]. But if you are really stuck with trying to file your bug the friendly people at opensuse-support(a)o.o can support you through the process. The board hopes that with the changes outlined above the contents of the opensuse-factory(a)o.o will go back to just being general distro development discussion so if your post to openSUSE factory is something other then that think twice about where the more appropriate place to post is. The new tumbleweed snapshots will continue to be posted to factory but we would ask you do not reply to them in order to report issues / bugs. If a bug is reported that a package maintainer believes will cause significant issues for most tumbleweed users ie not being able to boot / login or severe data loss we still invite the maintainer to post a warning to opensuse-factory but such issues happen very rarely and as such we don't expect to see many such posts. The board has decided that it would like to see how well these changes work before deciding to add / remove / change openSUSE's mailing lists further. Although we have discussed several other possibilities that we could also try in the future. 1. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_reporting_FAQ 2. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

[opensuse-factory] IDEA: NetworkManager by default for Desktops
by Richard Brown 05 Jul '18

05 Jul '18

Hi All, In both Leap & Tumbleweed we currently have the following logic for choosing which tool manages your network after installation "IF laptop AND NetworkManager is being installed THEN use NetworkManager, ELSE wicked" I've noticed an increasing trend that this can lead to confusion. Many users from other distributions expect NetworkManager on their desktops regardless of whether they are using a laptop or a desktop. GNOME expects NetworkManager by default and shows a rather unpleasant error when loading up the settings screen without it.[1] There are certainly classes of hardware where NetworkManager might be wanted that will never match "IF laptop" - eg. my personal Inter Compute Stick. And "IF laptop" is dependant on YaST correctly detecting you're using a laptop, which isn't 100% accurate, so occasionally even laptops might end up with wicked unexpectedly. I would like to propose a possible solution. It looks like we should be able to pin the choice of network tool to specific system role. I would like to propose that the installation options KDE and GNOME therefore always have NetworkManager by default Server & Transactional will always have wicked by default Custom will keep the current "autodetect" behaviour, because we cant be sure that the environment that the user is installing has support for NetworkManager in this case. Whatever is setup "by default" during installation will be able to be changed in YAST after the installation, just like it is today. What do we all think? If there is strong support for this idea I think Ludwig is prepared to let me try and slip it in as a late feature for Leap 15, so please let your opinions be heard loudly and quickly either way.

[opensuse-factory] devel:languages:python diet reduction
by Tomas Chvatal 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hello all, We will have to split a bit the d:l:py due to its monstrous size (2700 packages) where we are unable to verify the stack actually kinda works before Tumbleweed integration. We will split it based on common purpose and use d:l:py as base: devel:languages:python:django devel:languages:python:azure devel:languages:python:aws ... If you happen to have some packages or interest in python modules and think of some connection between couple of them please drop me an email for subproject creation and I will happily create it for you and set it up for TW integration. As a bit additional tweak I would move all of the non-Tumbleweed integrated stuff in to different project. At this moment it is full of various linked packages and things that were only added to develprj without being submitted to Tumbleweed. This prompted people to add this project on their released openSUSE versions (leading to quite interestingly broken systems if they do zypper dup with vendor change)... The change will be done by creating special project d:l:py:misc that would have building enabled but publishing disabled. This will hopefully motivate people to properly integrate the packages while not losing all the work that was done on them so far. Cheers Tom [1] https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:python

[opensuse-factory] Opening private bugs
by Simon Lees 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Hi all, As many people are aware the sharing of code between Leap and SLE combined with SUSE's "Factory First" policy has often lead to the need for openSUSE community members needing to read bugs that have been marked as private because they were originally created for SLE. For some time SUSE has been happy for SUSE employee's to review and disclose the contents of private bugs as long as we don't share any customer information. We can either do this by making any such confidential info private in the bug should it exist then making the bug public or in other cases providing a summary of the bug and discussion, even if in some cases all we can say is "this is a private customer feature" In order to make this process slightly easier and more formal during las weeks board discussion the board decided to the mailing list opensuse-bugshare(a)opensuse.org where community members can send an email then a volunteer SUSE employee can read the bug report then either open it or provide a summary. Currently this is a short term solution, SUSE Engineering understands this problem and will be working toward a better solution longer term. If you are a SUSE employee and you are happy to help with this process shoot me an email and i'll get you subscribed to the list.

[opensuse-factory] Killing Group tag in .spec files
by Tomas Chvatal 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Hi all, We have pretty strict requirements how the group tags are shown. [0] But there are only 2 ways to use it, 1) yast view based on groups 2) using rpm -q to get information for the individual package. For all other purposes from zypp/packagekit this stuff is ignored. In general it does not really make sense to install packages based on groups. As Fedora already deprecated this tag it would make sense for us to drop it too [1][2]. Proposed change would be to kill the Yast UI and then have spec-cleaner to drop the part where needed. It won't break on older releases as it would simply have Undefined as a group.
