[Bug 369531] New: Mirror support in libzypp

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=369531 Summary: Mirror support in libzypp Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Alpha 2plus Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: guru(a)unixtech.be QAContact: dmacvicar(a)novell.com Found By: --- Currently and unlike e.g. yum or smart, libzypp/yast2/zypper doesn't have support for a client-side list of mirrors. This is an issue during redirector (download.opensuse.org) downtime for several reasons: - people not able to install security patches - people not able to install openSUSE (network install) Experienced users can reconfigure the list of repository sources to use mirrors, but that isn't an option to less experienced users as they don't know where nor how to work around the issue. Client-side failover would greatly address the somewhat frequent downtime issues with the redirector as it could fall back on other servers. Another advantage would be a much more robust handling of various error scenarios that can occur when a file cannot be downloaded from a mirror as expected. One scenario is e.g. ftp5.gwdg.de is not being available for 5 minutes, because a router is being rebooted there (which actually happened today). What happens now is that after 1 to 3 minutes the redirection to that mirror is disabled by the redirector, since its probing notices it. But in the time window before disabling, many libzypp clients are sent to that server and get timeouts. With client-side mirror support, zypper and yast2 would try to fetch from the next mirror and succeed, without any user intervention (nor required expertise). Nevertheless, the mirror list should be dynamic instead of static (as it was implemented before the redirector) as that list changes frequently do to the ever changing content (security patches and especially Build Service repositories). A pretty precise approach is even documented on the wiki (http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Failover) and other established, solid and widely tested implementations can be looked at for inspiration (smart, yum). While this sounds like an enhancement request, it is a much more critical point than one would think, as it regularly prevents people from updating with patches or even installing openSUSE in the first place. The following presentation given at FOSDEM by Peter Poeml gives some background: http://www.poeml.de/~poeml/talks/redirector/ References: - http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Failover - http://lists.opensuse.org/zypp-devel/2007-06/msg00022.html - http://lists.opensuse.org/zypp-devel/2007-06/msg00006.html - http://www.poeml.de/~poeml/talks/redirector/ -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340603 Summary: It's dificult to use skype (no microphone input with) Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound AssignedTo: tiwai(a)novell.com ReportedBy: nice(a)titanic.nyme.hu QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Other This bug may be the same as Bug 245679 but I'm not totally sure. My machine is a Compaq nc6320 incorporating 82801G (ICH 7 family) chipset. So far sometimes(!) I had to adjust my audio settings by alsamixer in order to ba able to use microphone capture and thus skype. I attach a windows snapsot of alsamixer. You can see on the picture that the recording was enabled for the docking station and capture level was zero in spite of the fact that earlier I enabled the recording for the microphone and set the capture level to about 80%. In spite of this my settings were sometimes changed (I don't know what chenged them). Sometimes only the recording "went" form the microphone to the docking station (to tell the truth I actually use a docking station), but other times the capture level dropped to zero too. I can only use alsamixer since KMix of KDE seems to be unable to control or even monitor the capture level. (Alsamixergui also seem to be unable to some tasks, for example mutind Caller-ID or off-hook). I would advised you to include some workarond for this inconvenience, for example in the startup scripts but today (09.11.2007) - as usually I do - I upgraded my system via openSUSE uptader, and my microphone capture problem changer somewhat. (The updates include the kernel version 2.6.22.12-0.1.) Now alsamixer seems to work, but even when I set the mixer correctly, there is no microphone capture. I cannot use skype anymore:( -- 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.
