[opensuse-factory] Test updates for SUSE Linux 10.1
by Andreas Jaeger 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

I've published two repositories for SUSE Linux 10.1: * An updated packagemanagement stack * New kernel 2.6.16.21 We plan to release this soon (this week!) as official update and appreciate any testing, please report bugs you find on bugzilla.novell.com and CC me on the report (as <aj at novell dot com>). The packages and the changes itself have been tested intensively during the last weeks inside Novell. Since these are large updates, we like to have additional testing of these as a patch and on a variety of systems and environments. Package Management Stack Update =============================== In addition to the already released fixes for the package management stack, we have now fixed further bugs. The most important changes are: * Fixes for autorefresh (#186115, #181613, #181182) * Do not leave stall tmp files (#178292) * Empty catalogs before filling them (#181602) * Handle passwords in URLs (#186978, #186842, #186804) * Handle signing in zen-updater, zmd * Fix some bugs in interaction of libzypp and zmd The repository URL is: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test (please use a mirror of ftp.suse.com if possible.) Kernel Update ============= Please apply the package management stack before applying the kernel update. This is an update to Kernel 2.16.21 together with a number of bug fixes that we developed during the last weeks. The kernel changes its ABI completely, so all the kernel-module-packages (kmp) that you have installed, need to be updated as well. The interface between kernel and AppArmor has been changed as well, and therefore you have to update AppArmor as well (or disable it). Xen is updated as - as well as udev, open-iscsi, multipath-tools and mkinitrd. The repository URL is: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-kernel-update-test (please use a mirror of ftp.suse.com if possible.) Note on AppArmor ---------------- Since the update adds new flags to the profile syntax, you likely should review and adapt your profiles. - If a profile allowed unconfined execution ("ux") of a child binary it was possible to inject code via LD_PRELOAD or similar environment variables into this child binary and execute code without confiment. We have added new flag "Ux" (and "Px" for "px") which makes the executed child clear the most critical environment variables (similar to setuid programs). Special care needs to be taken nevertheless that this interaction between parent and child programs can not be exploited in other ways to gain the rights of the child process. - If a resource is marked as "r" in the profile it was possible to use mmap with PROT_EXEC flag set to load this resource as executable piece of code, making it effectively "ix". This could be used by a coordinated attack between two applications to potentially inject code into the reader. To allow mmap() executable access, supply the "m" flag to the applications profile. Please also review the updated documentation.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Packagage Groupings - From Selections in 10.1 to Patterns in 10.2

opensuse may better only support only one X Windows officially rather than both gnome and kde. as you do on commercial suse linux (SLES). support both (three, right? including fvwm2) is not productive. in my personal experience, gnome is more stable and using firefox is good choice than konqueror, many bug fixeds on firewall especially to meet compatible to IE. but still put kde as extra/option. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[opensuse-factory] 10.2 Alpha 2, Bug: Various bug when install using Text Mode
by The Nice Spider 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

1. After first screen of text mode appear then I press Next then some color change to black. 2. When install require to insert CD2 and I press Alt+E (Eject) then system reboot. 3. When install on this step "Installation Setting: system, installation media, update options, packages ... analysing.." it look like hang/stop but not, because suse still analysing WITHOUT show any dialog box "hey... i am still analysing your computer". I think better you show a such dialog box or message box. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[opensuse-factory] makeSUSEdvd Beta GUI testers seeked
by houghi 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

I have made a somewhat GUI version of makeSUSEdvd. It would be nice if people could test it. Understand that this is beta and it might be that you make coasters. It worked for me is all I can say. Some information before you start: 1) It is still bash 2) To see the GUI, run it with `makeSUSEdvd -G` 3) You need to have all programs installed it needs. These are: kdialog, create_package_descr, rpm, gpg and mkisofs 4) It is Beta I would like to get info on anything working or not working. I would also like to know on what distro and desktop you use. http://houghi.org/script/makeSUSEdvd Let me know what you think and what should be improved/changed both GUI wise and code wise. It should work up untill SUSE Linux 10.2 Alpha 2. -- houghi Please do not toppost http://houghi.org > Beware of he who would deny you access to information, < > for in his heart he dreams himself your master. < > Commissioner Pravin Lal: "U.N.

[opensuse-factory] CUPS problem
by Peter Nixon 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi Guys I just updated my system to latest factory. Previous update was a about a week ago. After the update printing from KDE via cups no longer works :-( When I try to print from KDE it shows me an old network printer that I no longer use, however yast and the cups web interface show the correct information. I have deleted all printers from yast and set it up again but it still doesn't work... Also scpm appears to be broken...
