[opensuse-factory] Possible powersave bugs in 10.2 RC1
by Markus 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hi, I've come across some issues related to powersave on a clean install of openSUSE 10.2 RC1. 1. When kpowersave is running and a laptop power button is pressed, powersaved complains (and nothing else happens): Nov 27 07:52:05 vaio powersaved[31177]: Debug (handleHWEventRequest:170) type: button/power, dev_name: PWRB, port: 00000080, count: 00000015 Nov 27 07:52:05 vaio powersaved[31177]: Info (handleHWEventRequest:215) button.power event occured Nov 27 07:52:05 vaio powersaved[31177]: Debug (haveClient:313) We don't own the interface org.freedesktop.Policy.Power If I shutdown kpowersave, button events work as set in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/events. The issue is that button events are not configurable in kpowersave, therefore there is no way to e.g. set the power button to trigger a 'suspend to ram' instead of the default action assigned by kpowersave. 2. s2ram It appears that options are read from /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep instead of /etc/pm/config. I have set the '--force' option in /etc/pm/config, however when triggering suspend to ram from the kpowersave context menu, the system attempts to suspend to ram but instead of powering off, comes back complaining about '--force' not being set. '--force' is only set in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep. Furthermore, the s2ram scripts still point the user to /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep for configuration. 3. Brightness Changing brightness works fine using kpowersave. When using the laptop hotkeys (Fn+F5/F6) for changing the brightness, a message window shows up (it has the same look as when pressing volume hotkeys, I just don't know which program it is), indicating that brightness is being changed, however only the LED brightness of the power-button on the laptop-chassis changes but not the display brightness. Some more info: powersave version is 0.15.8-3 pm-utils version is 0.20.0.20061114-2 kpowersave version is 0.7.1 Laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-T1XP Thanks for any comments.

[opensuse-factory] OSS 10.2RC1 some questions
by Thorolf Godawa 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hi, again I'm playing with beta software after the experience with SL 10.1 and early SLES 10 was not "so" good - but 10.2 seems to but much better in the actual stage :-) I'd like to use xfce as standard desktop, I think what was included in Beta 2 DVD but in RC1 I have to install it from external sources (http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ or http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-Factory-non-oss /inst-source-extra/). On a second box these sources where not available (I got an error when I tried to add or use them), so the xfce package was not available to install. Today I had more success I could add xfce via yast too! Wouldn't it make sense to include xfce also in the standard distribution for systems that don't have a lot of "Gigas"? On my Netfinity 3000 with iP3/512MB Gnome and KDE are not useable and if I'm localy at the box sometimes it's not too bad to have a modern GUI! How can I configure the automatic startup with startx of xfce, I thought it is enough to set the default window manager to xfwm4 (or xfwm) in the sysconfig? I can start xfce with startxfce4 but with startx x only fvwm2 comes up. Right now I have an AMD Athlon X2 with Pacifica for testing, so I tried a litle bit of Xen again, and for the first time using the xen yast module. Manually I can start my old SLES10b3 paravirt. installation (the config file is not located in /etc/xen/...), and if it's started I can manage it with the yast module. I also started my old W2k3 server installation (created with SuSE Linux 10.1 GM, Kernel 2.6.16.13-4-xen, Xen 3.2-09656-4 on an Intel iPD 920 with VT), it seems to start, there are no relevant errors in the logs but the SDL window never opens and I can't connect to the HVM with VNC. So I created a new HVM with WXP, with the xen yast module it is quite easy to do so :-). I started the installation, the SDL window opens, boots from the CD and the first stage of the WXP installation was sucessfully finish. But if I try to reboot I don't get the SDL window again, so I can't say what is going on right now! The Online update process also seems to work, right now it is doing the 4th kernel update, may be some of the xen problems are solved with this. But the update messed up the grub menu, the original openSuSE 10.2 / openSuSE-Xen entries are not working anymore (Err 16: File not found, xxx-2.6.18.2-23 was not replaced by xxx-2.6.18.2-33) and if I try to start the new "Kernel-2.6.18.2-33-xen" entry I get: Booting 'Kernel-2.6.18.2-33-xen' ... ... Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format After correction of "initrd /initrd-2.6.18.2-33-xen" to "module /initrd-2.6.18.2-33-xen" the Xen kernel also was starting! And it seems that Xen SDL is running now too! BTW: Is there any reason why tripwire is not included in the distribution anymore? Is there a successor for it? -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

The last time I was digging a bit deeper inside the SuSEfirewall2 config for configuring a DMZ, I had quiet a problem with giving privileges from the DMZ to the internet segment. A rule like $NET_DMZ,0/0,udp,53 is quiet nice, but also allows access on udp,53 to the internal segment (it was a bastillon host, 3 nics). For udp,53, you can say, ok... bearable.. but then comes the next an next thing to open.. for all the different things needed. (oh: I defined of course variables like $NET_DMZ=x.x.x.x/26 at the beginning of the Surefirewall config file... made it a lot easier to read and to maintain. So maybe a rule like $NET_DMZ,$DEV_EXT,udp,53 would be very nice to have... I assume it won't be the easiest for the parser to recognice when you talk about a deviceclass and when about an net/host, but it would be great. Another problem might be that $DEV_EXT may contain more than one device, thus rendering the syntax of the previous command illegal.

[opensuse-factory] discussion about re-naming library packages such as "slang" to "libslang"
by Alexey Eremenko 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

hi SUSErs ! There is a package needed mainly for midnight commander called "slang" - as far as I understand it is a text-display library similar to ncurses. Because this is library, maybe it would be smart to rename it to "libslang", so that it will be easier to manipulate such lib* packages? What about other similar packages ? (like zlib / libz) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] USB drive formatted with ext3 still mounted with sync
by Elliott Martin 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

I have noticed that fat32 formatted USB drives are now mounted without the sync flag and get faster transfer rates than before, but my ext3 formatted USB drive is still mounted with sync and gets write speeds around 3.5 MB/s. Is there time to get this fixed before the final release of 10.2? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] for 10.3 - strings too large to display
by jdd 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

This was seen on 640x480 screen, text mode I think this will not be for present one, but must be adressed, probably by a library patch. it's probably worst in french, but impact also the URL display. I speak of the width of many message strings on a small display, that are nearly un readable (too large/long) on a static display, for example when options are asked for and you can use tab to go from a button to a window, it's possible to shift the text with arrow keys, but on all the informative windows, this is not possible. many french strings are unreadable, right part of URL are unreadable. I don't exactly know what could be the solution? wrapping to the next line? enlarging the window (there is often room unused, even on such a small screen), trimming the center part of the string (...)? this is so current it must be addressed at the library level... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
