Missing Xen: Maybe this is not the right place, but I really miss Xen on the announced Features and Roadmap for openSUSE 10.2. The "Status of Xen3 on SUSE Linux 10.0", which is the only and latest I still can see, is http://en.opensuse.org/Xen3_Status_and_Updates The last line in that table, "Other Operating System support on top of Xen and VT not tested" is especially of interest to follow up now. XenSource is also just releasing their XenEnterprise with support Linux guest operating … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Package Manager Update 3: Call for Testing
by Andreas Jaeger 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Our developers are continuing to improve the package manager stack. We'd like to release some of their changes for 10.1 now and I'd like to ask for testers. Please report all bugs you find in bugzilla (http://bugzilla.novell.com, component libzypp and include in the summary "Package Manager Update 3"). We plan to release on friday, 2006-09-01 an update to the test repository with anything that has been found so far and plan to release the final update next week officially. This update … [View More]contains the following new features: * support for patch/delta RPMs in YUM sources (#168844) in YOU but not yet in the ZENworks tools This update includes fixes for the following bugs: * various performance enhancements * 190163 - *-kmp-* dependencies match multiple kernel packages * 176568 - Evaluate possible xml parser optimizations * 195567 - 100 /var/tmp/TmpFile.xxxxx in 3 Days * 193584 - cut-off package description in zen-updater * 194424 - Online update setup creates unusable cron job * 191676 - zen installer/updater cannot add an FTP YUM repository * 190295 - zen-updater/zmd/rug does not install update stack patches first * 193212 - zmd does not unblock transactions after transaction preparation failure * 191506 - zen-updated showing updates from non-subscribed catalog * 183656 - mono needed for YaST package management since last update openSUSE 10.2 will see further improvments that need even better testing. If you like to test, please read below the details - otherwise wait for the online update that we will release soon. Until the online update has been installed, I advise to run as root "yast2 online_update" for patch installation. If you have never updated the stack, then use yast to do the following, otherwise use either ZENworks tools or YaST: * Add the following (or one of the mirrors) as installation source: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test * Run an online update and install the new libzypp patch * Test whether YOU installs patches using patch/delta RPMs. Note patch and delta RPMs are smaller than full RPMs. Therefore download is faster but assembly of them takes longer. If anything looks broken, please contact myself and Stano <visnov at suse.cz>. Feel free to add him as <visnov at novell.com> in your bugzilla report, so that we do not lose track of any issues with this update. We do not plan to add further fixes, our goal is to get this update out and find any regressions introduced. openSUSE 10.2 will see further improvments that need even better testing and the ongoing progress can be tested using the openSUSE 10.2 Alpha releases - with Alpha4 next week.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 10.2 Features and Roadmap
by Andreas Jaeger 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

Michael Löffler is currently on vacation and asked me to discuss the following, it's based on his latest draft. All errors are mine naturally ;-) The upcoming openSUSE 10.2 will basically have similar content like its predecessor but comes of course with latest and stable Open Source packages available at that time. We went through Bugzilla, the feature list and package wishlist and try to accomodate your wishes and suggestions. Note that the list below is neither complete - it's just some … [View More]of the highlights - nor a commitment. Here an overview about areas we like to enhance, change or add things: System & Software Management - Performance enhancements with software management rug, libzypp - Support hardware with SW-RAID support in BIOS - Biometrical authentification - X.org 11R7.1 - Kernel 2.6.18 - install local rpm(s) with dependency checking and to register directory as YaST source, Bug 174369, 168358 - add a button to YaST/zen-installer to add interesting installation sources like freshmeat, sourceforge, packman etc. - SUSEfirewall2, description of the ports and and ability to open or close ports - Moving from software selections to patterns as grouping of packages Desktop & Productivity Software - Gnome 2.16, with new menue out of SUSE Linux Enterprise - KDE 3.5.4 , with polished menue - adding VoIP solution Ekiga (formely known Gnome Meeting), Bug 147517 - support for rt2500 wlan card, Bug 149141 - add Intels 3D open source driver - adding Broadcom WLAN support Commercial software - adding Wink, software for creating video tutorials and export them to flash, http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ (free software, available for Linux as well) - GoogleEarth, we try to get redistribution rights from Google Please give feedback and of course if there's something missing - tell us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Schedule openSUSE 10.2 Here's the openSUSE 10.2 schedule as aligned with holidays, other deliverables etc. I'm always writing the dates of the planned public releases and what I associate with the milestones. I'll further refine the milestones a bit to define which changes are allowed until which time.

[opensuse-factory] zypp multiarch question
by Andreas Hanke 09 Sep '06

09 Sep '06

Hi, a very simple question about zypp multiarch handling. How does zypp deal with the following situations: 1) A package is available in the base installation source for both x86_64 and i586, and in the update repo there is just an i586 package. The x86_64 package is currently installed and the i586 package in the update repo has a higher version number. Does it "upgrade" (wrt. the version) resp. "downgrade" (wrt. the architecture)? Or will it keep the installed package? 2) Quite the same … [View More]

Hi, Just to report a successfull network installation of openSUSE 10.2 Alpha 3 (hosted by oss.sgi.com) on my hp workstation zx6000.

[opensuse-factory] Error while starting the GNOME settings daemon
by Émeric Maschino 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi, I just finished a fresh network installation of openSUSE 10.2 Alpha 3 on my hp workstation zx6000 (Itanium IA-64 architecture). When I log in a GNOME session, I'm getting a dialog stating that there was an error starting the GNOME settings daemon. This dialog has no window decoration at all. During the same time, the window manager icon is displayed for several minutes in the GNOME splash screen before the starting process and the remaining icons are displayed. I eventually access to a … [View More]GNOME desktop, but there's no window decoration at all and windows can't thus be moved, resized, etc. I've only found one similar report here www.tuxmachines.org/node/8898 There's nothing similar in bugzilla for the openSUSE 10.2 and OpenSUSE.org products. I've found similar reports on Google for older SuSE distributions: it appears this was due to the language settings. However, changing the language settings to en_US.UTF-8 or even POSIX doesn't help. Is there anybody out there experiencing the same problem? Is this issue specific to Itanium? To 64-bit architectures?

I've been following the developemnt of the wireless stack for quite a while now, and wihle it looked like the (Intel based) current ieee stack would be the base for a future unified wireless stack, things have changed significantly and chances are really high that d80211 will be the future - there has even been the discussion on netdev to make the switch as early as 2.6.19 (that's why I wrote "might ... one release early"). So even if it isn't quite ready for prime time now, it looks like it is very close - and if it makes it into a 2.6.19rcX while 10.2 is still in beta, I'd like to see a backport going into the suse 10.2 kernel - that's what I was really aiming at. ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer(a)loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.

[opensuse-factory] Latest Update on factory tree and 10.2 Alpha 3 experience
by Michael Brasse 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hello list, I am closely following the factory tree with my installation (Dell Latitude C640). With the latest update from Aug 26th I hoped, some of the issues I had are solved and finally I can use firefox again which was one of the main issues. But a few other things I am struggling with: a) With rug I get dependendy problems updating cpp41, gcc41, gcc41-c++, gcc41-fortran, gcc41-info,gcc41-objc,libstdc++-41-devel The following things I see since updating to 10.2 alpha versions: b) … [View More]metacity is not usable as window manager for gnome (I currently switched to icewm), starting it at the command line I get the following: sandmann:/ # metacity --replace Window manager warning: Bad key or directory name: "ENABLE_WINDOWS_KEYS": Must begin with a slash (/) Segmentation fault I was not able to find anything about the mentioned key/directory name and also google wasn't helping. Where can I start looking c) At startup I get a message "Gnome Settings Deamon" couldn't be started. After trying all solutions which I found, I completely reinstalled openSUSE (from the factory tree again), created a new user, but unfortunately the problem remained. A process is running: sandmann:/ # ps -ef | grep gnome-settings-daemon mbrasse 4322 1 0 11:54 ? 00:00:02 /opt/gnome/lib/control- center-2.0/gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon --oaf-ior-fd=29 When I kill that process and restart the same command from the console I get: mbrasse@sandmann:/> /opt/gnome/lib/control-center-2.0/gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon --oaf-ior-fd=29 [1156675807,000,xklavier.c:XklStartListen/] The backend does not require manual layout management - but it is provided by the applicationIOR: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 (gnome-screensaver:5155): gnome-screensaver-WARNING **: screensaver already running in this session d) All yast menu entries (gnome main menu and also in the control center) don't force to run yast2 as root.

If I start it from the console it hints again, that the gnome-settings-daemon is not running before crashing. f) NetworkManager doesn't recognize my network devices any more and says "no network devices found" so I had to change to the "traditional method using ifup" which works fine. I have a Dell True Mobile WLAN and a integrated fast Ethernet controller in my laptop. ___ Are any of these points visible for other people as well? Are any workarounds or solutions known? Shall I report the things as bugs? And beside from that I am struggling with videos (gstreamer doesn't want to play .wmv movies even after I played around a lot), opensync and evolution, ...

[opensuse-factory] Excess bloat must be removed!
by Steve Barnhart 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Perhaps this is all going to be fixed in 10.2 since 10.1 was obviously very bad, but just to make sure, I would like to clarify and state some of my opinions on what needs to go or become better integrated. First of all having what seems to be so many different ways to manage packages is becomming ridiculous and I'm hoping something's going to be done to standardize on one. Syncronizing all of them has to be crazy. Zen is just horrible right now imo. Its so unconfigurable and the interface to … [View More]install packages just seems way to simplistic. One can hardly find out information on the package..it just basically seems to be searching through a list. Not only that but most packages are shown twice or more depending on repositories and updates! I do not know why it can't be done like synaptic and keep one package and then being able to update (I think yast does it this way too). I had no idea what exactly to click and how it would work out! It needs to be trimmed down to only showing the package ONCE which would be the latest and if not allow one to upgrade. I just really am not liking zen right now at all. I do not know why they couldn't have just continued to improve the speed of yast and keep suseplugger also. Second is the ridiculous amount of packages that are installed on first installation. Perhaps trim down default GNOME and KDE desktop choices like Ubuntu does (basically good packages from each, can install more later). The system after first boot shouldnt be more then 2GB imo. I know I can configure packages in Yast manually and I guess I'll probably just have to go through that annoying task for now on. and Finally, and this is my big peeve. FIX THE FREAKIN MENUS! The organization takes WAY too much time and maybe it won't matter if slab is integrated but we do not need categories and then ANOTHER category and then 5 different web browsers! Why the heck was konqueror installed when I selected GNOME as my DE in the installation and no where did I install KDE! Seamonkey was also installed WTH! Basically we do not need second level categories and 5 different web browser and terminal apps (ESPECIALLY WHEN I SELECTED GNOME AS THE DE), sorry that is my major pet peeve right now. Its ridiculous that when one selects the defaults that they are given 5-10 of everything. Please PLEASE PLEASE Clean it up! Please don't mistake my tone. I'm considering a move back to suse because I like the polish and yast and such, but 10.1 (and some parts were from 10 and back) is making me and my computer feel very bloated and like I have to maintain a "beast". I know 10.1 was a bad apple, but hopefully this stuff is vastly cleared up. -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org [View Less]

Hello, ,----[ http://www.tug.org/tetex/ ]- | I (Thomas Esser) have decided not to make new releases of teTeX any | more (May 2006). The information below might get out of date as time | goes by.

by Andreas 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

a couple of days ago there was a discussion about merging the rpm's for kernel-default and kernel-smp. Did that already happen?

[opensuse-factory] sata partition limit
by Felix Miata 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

I just tried to install 10.1 on this SATA system that was originally cloned from PATA when I bought a new system with I915/ICH6 and a faster CPU 17 months ago. Before the clone operation, 9.2 ran from /dev/hda16, Mandriva from /dev/hda7, Knoppix from /dev/hda15, and windoz and OS/2 and data occupied various other partitions. Now the 10.1 installer gives me these error messages: - WARNING: This system has at least one hard disk with a RAID configuration presented by the BIOS as RAID that is in … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] SL-Factory vs. SL-Factory-debug
by Adrian Schröter 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

Hi, on popular request, we separated the debuginfo packages from Factory into a separated repository. We will have SL-OSS-Factory and SL-OSS-Factory-debug directories with the next sync. Users of the opensuse-full or opensuse-full-with-factory modules do not have to change anything. I hope this is fine with everybody. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian(a)suse.de ----------------------------------------------… [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Postfix 2.3.2 slightly incorrect
by Anders Norrbring 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

I just found a little annoying thing in Postfix 2.3.2 from factory.. There's a missing definition in the SPEC that disables cyrus sasl authentication. I simply added export CCARGS="$CCARGS -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL" to the %build block, and everything worked fine. Oh, 10.2 isn't yet defined in Bugzilla, so I didn't post anything in there about this. -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-… [View More]
