[Bug 282678] New: easy way to disable beagle completely during installation

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=282678 Summary: easy way to disable beagle completely during installation Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sven.burmeister(a)gmx.net QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Even when started with nice beagle (including the cron-job) can lead to serious performance issues on older hardware because of its CPU, RAM and harddisk usage, the latter two not being handled by nice AFAIK. Even if it is only at the beginning, this "beginning" is the time a user measures the performance and snappyness of his new installation and obviously this "beginning" is not a fixed time-period but much longer on older hardware with less RAM and slower harddisks. Advanced users might know how to enter the package-management and disable it, most do not and should not have to. A simple checkbox with a line of explanation that on older hardware and for those who do not need a desktop-search beagle can be disabled completely would suffice. I am not sure whether strigi will replace beagle for those that install KDE4 and whether strigi is as performance-hungry as beagle is, yet if so a more general checkbox would be the better solution that disables either of the two, depending which desktop is installed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 244977] New: bug in cron.daily evaluation routine

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244977 Summary: bug in cron.daily evaluation routine Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: thomas.saupe(a)novell.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Customer has set the variable DAILY_TIME="00:15" in /etc/sysconfig/cron. According to the documentation this should execute cron.daily at 00:15. But the customer noticed that now cron daily was run twice, on 00:00 and 00:15. Investigating this he found a bug in: /usr/lib/cron/run-crons. The row: DAILY_TIME_NEW="`echo $DAILY_TIME | sed s,:,, | sed s,^0,, `" will remove the colon and the first zero from the value in DAILY_TIME and hence put 015 into DAILY_TIME_NEW. This is then evaluated in: [ $(($DAILY_TIME_NEW - 15)) -lt "$NOW_H" ] && [ $(($DAILY_TIME_NEW + 15)) -gt "$NOW_H" ] According to the bash manpage (ARITHMETIC EVALUATION): Constants with a leading 0 are interpreted as octal numbers. Hence 015 is evaluated octal which gives 5 times 8 power of 0 plus 1 time 8 power of 1 equals 5+8=13. For 13, the comparison above is true for both NOW_H=0 and NOW_H=15. I guess it is not intended that the value in DAILY_TIME gets evaluated octal. A fix therefore is simple. Just remove all leading zeroes from DAILY_TIME in order to let it evaluate decimal, e.g.: DAILY_TIME_NEW="`echo $DAILY_TIME | sed s,:,, | sed s,^0*,, `" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210881 Summary: switch to microsoft multimedia keyboard layout by default Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: ms(a)novell.com ReportedBy: dmueller(a)novell.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Hi, in order to properly (without xmodmap hacks) support laptop keys by default, sax2 has to configure the keyboard map to the microsoft multimedia layout. It would be nice if it would do that by default in all cases that make sense (e.g. even non-laptop installations with keyboards that could possibly be such a layout) to make multimedia/laptop keys work on as many machines as possible. the current xmodmap hack is the file in /usr/share/hotkey-setup/hotkey-setup.xmodmap I would like to get rid of that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The new kernel image was added to the GRUB menu, at the bottom of list although it was set, correctly, to be the default. This is fine for a simple boot. However, when I then suspended the laptop and booted it back up, it booted the failsafe system. When I moved the new kernel image to the top of list (changing no other settings), rebooted and then suspended again, it resumed fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
