[Bug 206035] New: Partitioner won't leave mount points for spare swap blank

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206035 Summary: Partitioner won't leave mount points for spare swap blank Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: uschold(a)dbh3.us QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com I have three partitions formatted as swap (id 82), all on the same hard drive. One is currently mounted for SuSE10.1 and the others are for future Linuxes. The spare swap has the mount point blank and the "Do not mount at boot" flag set. I have over a dozen total partitions on this drive. When I open the partitioner there will be a non-blank value in the mount point box for the spare swap partitions. This is a mount point from another existing partition. When I edit some particular partition, which is NOT swap, and then save, fstab is updated with the bogus mount point for swap. In one test case, fstab had this line: /dev/sda11 /boot swap acl,user_xattr 0 0 I can avoid the problem by specifically editing the spare swap partitions and resetting the mount point to blank and setting the "Do not mount at boot" flag, before I save the changes. also, see Forum/Group: opensuse.org.suse-linux.support.install-configure-administration Subject: Partitioner won't leave mount points blank Date: 2006-Sep-12 -- 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 190081] Unable to burn/erase CDR/CDRW media
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 23 Oct '06

23 Oct '06

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=190081 ------- Comment #26 from mike_wells(a)cox.net 2006-10-23 09:58 MST ------- Hi Hannes, good to hear from you. To be honest I just could not get my head back into it (comment #24). Installed an ATAPI (IDE) burner alongside the SCSI. But that didn't get it all done either. Your comment (#25) is good news indeed and I was hoping 10.2 might resolve the issues. I am still running 9.3 as my primary and messing around with 10.1. Due to the nearness of 10.2 Final I will hold off on migrating from 9.3 until 10.2 is released in final version. 1. I assume you tested with K3b under 10.2. Is that correct? 2. The "Full" (complete) erase of RW media is still an issue at large with K3b and neroLinux. 3. Could you please attempt a full erase of 4X RW media utilizing K3b/10.2 with SCSI and ATAPI? The RW media I am currently using is Memorex 4X Multi-Speed. This might just be the last issue remaining. Thanks and looking forward to your next reply. -- 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 214272] New: Power Management YaST module changes due to pm redesign
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 23 Oct '06

23 Oct '06

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214272 Summary: Power Management YaST module changes due to pm redesign Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: jsrain(a)novell.com ReportedBy: hmacht(a)novell.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com The following changes need to be made to the YaST2 power management module to correspond to the new power management architecture (see also FATE 301180) First window ============ Other Settings... (at the bottom) --------------------------------- The dialog 'Battery Warning...' can be completely dropped The dialog 'ACPI Settings...' can be completely dropped Dialog 'Suspend Permissions': Beginning with 10.2, we will have a new location to store such permissions. Until now, it is stored somewhere below /etc/sysconfig/powersave. The new method uses PolicyKit to specify and request privileges. PolicyKit has its configuration below /etc/PolicyKit/privileges.d/. There you can find the following files which are relevant: hal-power-hibernate (suspend to disk) hal-power-suspend (suspend to ram) hal-power-standby (standby) [Note: We are pretty early with using PolicyKit as privilege manager, but more and more applications will use it in future, so maybe the YaST team needs a generic mechanism to change privileges in future, something like sysconfig editor is now, or a helper utility for PolicyKit configuration] A so called privilege descriptor looks as follows: -- # This privilege specifies who is allowed to hibernate the system. [Privilege] RequiredPrivileges= SufficientPrivileges=desktop-console Allow=uid:root Deny= CanObtain=True CanGrant=True ObtainRequireRoot=False -- The only thing you need actually to know is the line 'SufficientPrivileges=desktop-console'. This means that any user which has the privilege desktop-console (aka is at a local console) possesses the specified privilege, in this case hal-power-hibernate. So to prevent a user to actually possess this privilege, the line has simply to be SufficientPrivileges= Root always possesses this privilege (Allow=uid:root). Edit schemes --> edit a particular scheme: ------------------------------------------ First window with Scheme name and description: - box labeled 'CPU' which contains CPU frequency scaling and throtting options can be removed Next window with 'Hard Disk' and 'Cooling Policy' options has to be kept for now. So you see that the only things which remain are actually the Suspend permissions, the harddisk settings and the Cooling policy. There might be new things like entering a password for an encrypted swap partition in the future, though, but there has to be more work to do in the base system at first. All other settings which vanished are now configurable with a client like gnome-power-manager or kpowersave. So to compensate this a little bit, I thought about adding a text explaining these changes in the first window. A text to say something like this: Beginning with openSUSE 10.2, a lot of configuration options have been removed from the Power Management YaST module. All vanished settings have to be configured with a graphical client such as gnome-power-manager or kpowersave. Thanks very much in advance, Holger -- 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 199054] Add low disk space real time monitor
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 23 Oct '06

23 Oct '06

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=199054 ------- Comment #30 from plasmahh(a)gmx.net 2006-10-23 09:38 MST ------- Happy with what? As a comment to Scott Couston and the free diskspace: Traditionally filesystems like ext2 reserved a portion, typically 5% of the HDD space for use of root only. That way, when the root partition was completely filled, from the user perspective, root still had a bit room to work. The users were not prohibited from logging in, but the login procedure, and especially the shell scripts running on login often needed to create temporary files and of course failed then. The 5% amount was always configurable. And btw. on some modern filesystems its not possible to reserve space for root anymore. 5% is pretty huge, and even 1% can be pretty huge on modern HDDs, like for my actual 250GB drive it would be 2.5GB of unused space. Clearly too much to be wasted. So what I would be happy with only would be to either disable it totally or let it warn me with a configurable amount of *MB* and not *percentage*. I am perfectly fine with partitions having only 100MB free space, since thats why I have them. To fill the space, not to keep it free. -- 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.
