[opensuse-factory] tiny-nvidia-installer removed from factory
by Jonh Arson 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

I wasn't what you can call happy when i found out this little software was removed from factory (and even less so when after reopening it 3 or 4 time the bug was marked as private). No real explanation given. This was by far the easiest and quickest way to get the Nvidia driver up and running and i demand explanation. WONTFIX, build it in the BS. WTF! there is no use to the package if its not right on the cd ... Now if you don't wanna include it in the default selection this is totally understandable, but why totally rip the package off ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Replacing TuxKart by SuperTuxKart
by Dominique Leuenberger 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi everybody, I was just a bit wondering: would it be possible for the development of 10.3 (I guess that's now the official name, isn't it?) to replace TuxKart with SuperTuxKart? I think TuxKart is way obsoleted by the latter one (current official release v0.2, a new version most likely due in mid feb, with new physics and full screen support) Packages are already available in the BS, and I think a 'merge' in the official tree could be very nice. I would even volunteer to continue the maintenance of the package build for this package (as I'm maintaining it already now in the BS). Is there already an 'official' way to get packages in the official distribution / replace obsolete ones ? I understand that such leaf applications should not be the highest priority, but I remember in 10.2 several users had problems with TK and 'converting' them to STK solved their issues and they could have fun. Looking forward for your comments, Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] TIFMxx Driver for 10.3
by Dominique Leuenberger 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi everybody, I was wondering if it would be possible to get the driver for Texas Instrument FlashMedia Cardreaders in the next version of openSUSE. The driver is available at http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tifmxx/ (Version 0.6 so far) and I tested it on 10.2; it works perfect.On the web page it's mentioned that never versions are part of the main kernel... but so far, with 2.6.20-rc5 I did not manage to get that thing working. (ok: I did not compile an own kernel on my Notebook yet....) It would be very nice to get support for many more card readers by this driver (TI FM is, as far as I could fine, used in many notebooks, like for example the IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad z61m) Regards, Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Most Annoying Bugs - and internal AlphaXplus builds
by Andreas Jaeger 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

In between the external Alpha builds, we make one internal Alpha build - this week the Alpha0plus. Are you interested in a most annoying Bugs section for these as well? This should show you the current state of FACTORY and inform you about known bugs. I would create such a page if there is interest, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj(a)suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

[opensuse-factory] Minutes distribution meeting 2007-01-25
by Andreas Jaeger 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Here're the minutes from last week's meeting. Topics: * Use fast linking style: The linker & glibc in 10.2 support the --hash-style=both (or just gnu) flag, which halves linking time [ still a major cost on all startup]. Unfortunately - it seems we only re-compiled glibc with this flag, and not all the other applications in the system :-) Risk wise this is a no-brainer, Red Hat are already shipping with --hash-style=gnu [ this is unfortunate since the binaries are then not back-compatible ]. We should most likely use --hash-style=both (at some small size penalty) - but after some time switch over to --hash-style=gnu to save size. The size difference is < 0.1 %. We will enable it by default. * libata per default (see minutes from last time - the partitioning question is still open) Moved to next meeting since one (critical) participant was missing. * Enable -fstack-protector for the new distros for every package by default Red Hat according to their press statements builds all of their distribution using -fstack-protector, the heuristic stack overflow detection. While we use -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, this one only covers known arrays. I think we should also enable -fstack-protector for all packages. If we enable it by default in the compiler, all software will automatically get the benefit too. To analyze what effect this will have on performance we will run SPEC2000 and build one distribution with and one without the flag. -fstack-protector only adds protection to those functions that might overflow but not to all (-fstack-protector=all would instrument all). We will add it to RPM_OPT_FLAGS at the end of next week. AI: Run SPEC2000 AI: Build Alpha0plus without -fstack-protector and then rebuild with it. AI: Analyze performance and size differences. * Handling of compat packages These packages are inherited from old releases. The question is which libraries are really needed. AI: to ask on opensuse mailing list what is needed and start working on tracking list. Proposal: We consider having a library naming proposal that includes the version number so that people can easily grab an library RPM package from an older distro if needed. AI: write up proposal and discuss it on opensuse-packaging. * Avahi/mDNSResponder compatibility: Please assign all bugs to gnome-maintainers, they will look at it from March on. * Blacklisting /opt/gnome We can blacklist this path in autobuild and then packages still using /opt/gnome for FACTORY will not build. We will first prepare a list of packages still using it and later blacklist.

[opensuse-factory] Updates applet for GNOME
by Alberto Passalacqua 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hello, in the last status meeting Andreas announced that ZMD won't be installed by default in OpenSUSE 10.3. This means that the current version of zen-updater won't be used as the default update applet. As a consequence, GNOME would be without a dedicated applet for updates, while KDE will use opensuse-updater. I don't think opensuse-updater is a viable solution for GNOME too, considering it doesn't integrate well in the GNOME panel (a similar problem was present in 9.3 with SuSEWatcher). What are the plans to solve this issue? Will zen-updater be modified to let the user choose between zmd/non-zmd operations (I like this one ;-)), or will a new applet be developed?

[opensuse-factory] GNOME main-menu uses too much memory and cpu
by Alberto Passalacqua 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

There's a serious bug in the gnome main menu (slab) in opensuse 10.2. In short, the menu uses a huge amount of memory, which increases at each operation done with the menu. The memory used can reach ~200MB according to what shown here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229190 Also the menu sometimes uses 100% of CPU without a reason. I think this issue should be fixed soon, because it makes the menu unusable on system without much RAM.

[opensuse-factory] Banshee and iPod in 10.2

Banshee and Helix-banshee in opensuse 10.2 are affected by a bug which doesn't allow them to recognize iPod's. The bug is quite serious and was reported on bugzilla some time ago: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=215301 The problem is solved in the version of banshee on BS, but no helix-banshee is available, which is necessary to properly manage the iPod.

[opensuse-factory] GNOME: please report post /opt/gnome->/usr errors in your $HOME
by Stanislav Brabec 25 Jan '07

Hallo. Just now, the move to /usr in Factory and GNOME:UNSTABLE is nearly complete. We are able to test and fix remaining references to /opt/gnome, but there is another problem, which cannot be guessed by any way: References to /opt/gnome in home directories. If your package setup is broken after move and you suspect, that the reason is hadwiring of /opt/gnome in $HOME configuration foles, please report about it. I guess that we have to ignore one time problems, (e. g. linphone forgets predefined ring tones and reverts to defaults, saved session does not find applications), but we should find situation, when application tends to use /opt/gnome forever without any user visible way to fix it or when it loses functions after move by not finding required stuff.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE KDE / Gnome Menu
by Dominique Leuenberger 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Hi. As far as I know, the Gnome Main menu as well as the new KDE Menu (kicker, right?) were implemented by Novell. I think both are quiet a nice thing. As I prefer Gnome as my Desktop, I was wondering if the start menu there will evolve a bit more, maybe in direction of Kicker? This tabbed view of Kicker rocks. The Gnome Menu with the favourites is very handy, as it brings me all the apps I most need. But on the other hand, the access to the 'other Applications' is sometimes rather slow (takes about 3 seoncds to open on my notebook). For this, the 'Applications tab' in KDE is very handy... even though I think you need to click to much when going through the menu levels. What are other peoples thoughts about these menus?

[opensuse-factory] Making the basesystem smaller
by Andreas Jaeger 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

I heard from several sides that the base system of openSUSE 10.2 is a bit large - and agree and would like to discuss with you what we can do. I thought about the following: * make the existing base system pattern really minimal * add another conveninience pattern that has all the extra stuff we currently have in the base system - and require this for all other patterns. For a really minimal base system we have to define what we need first. Here's a proposal for a "Definition Base System": Multiuser system with: * Local login (via /etc/passwd) * network setup via ethernet * default filesystems used (ext3) directly (without evms, lvm, mdraid etc) * no services running by default My questions for discussion are especially the following: * What do you think of this? Do you have better ideas? * Is the "base system definition" ok? What's missing - or is it still too much or should made clearer? * How do I name the new pattern with all the extra stuff? Note this is in some ways a followup to bug #228815, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj(a)suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

[opensuse-factory] Flash 9 as a YOU update for 10.2?
by Silviu Marin-Caea 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

I know that it would be out-of-the-ordinary to do a version update through YOU for a released SUSE, but an update to flash9 would really benefit a huge lot of users and would just make SUSE look good (perhaps appear on digg frontpage). It's not such a large file and does not have the potential to break other things in the distro.

It needs to close the window, and open it again, to activate the netinstall-fetcher, or how you guy's call the thing... Are there more who experience that? Do i have to file a bugreport about this? After reopening the the window, all goes smooth, not fast, very slow, but smooth..

[opensuse-factory] dist meeting minutes
by Andreas Jaeger 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

[Sorry, I'm a bit late with last weeks notes] Topics: * libata per default openSUSE 10.3 will use libata for IDE as well. This means that /dev/hd* will move to /dev/sd*. The code for moving during update should be in place but needs proper testing. The remaining challenge is that AFAIK /dev/sd* allows only 15 partitions while people might have up to 63 on /dev/hd*. The only solution would be to use dm devices for partitions. This will be further discussed in the next meeting. * mDNSresponder -> avahi switch We plan to switch from mDNSresponder to avahi and remove mDNSresponder From the distribution - and thereby focusing on one package. If noone objects, we'll start this asap.

In a dual-core CPU there's a 100% complete pairing of all the circuitry that makes up a CPU (though they share the level 2 cache). In a HyperThreading CPU not all of the CPU hardware is present twice, hence there is less available parallelism.

[opensuse-factory] switch from 10.2 to Factory
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby (R12y) 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi, I would like to switch to Factory because I cannot make the SDL window to appear. I am not sure it's a bug, I am just going to see if it's better on a development version. I dont use non-OSS except for my Centrino's Wifi. It should be OK to switch. What I did is I added SL-OSS-Factory and non-OSS one. But it screams against an unresolvable dependency problem about ieee802. AFAIK, This ieee802 is part of near future kernels. Is it ecause of that? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Epson CX5300 Scanner Work Around
by Keith Goggin 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi, My scanner now works correctly in openSUSE 10.2 after applying the correct USB Vendor and Product ID (0x04b8 0x808) to the 'usb' line in </etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf> as described by Jon Nelson in his comment # 4 Bugzilla # 229250. It seems to me that there may be more than one problem here given the Sane Bug Tracker # 304271 reports in part:- "seems libsane 1.0.17 is working for these scanners, 1.0.18 not" and the Epson site <http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_spc.html> contains what appears to be a simple typo error in the configuration file <epkowa.desc> contained in <iscan-2.4.0-0.c2.tar.gz>. (I believe the CC600-PX, CX5100, CX5200, CX5300 and CX5400 should all report Vendor/Product ID 0x04b 0x0808) I note also the Sane developers appear to have incorporated the incorrect 0x0801Product ID in their equivalent sane.desc file. Ironically now that my scanner is working again, it hasn't worked since SuSE10.0, the print heads have totally blocked up and I'm up for a new MFP! I've now seen three (3) CX5300's fail because of ink blockages so my new one will not be from that stable :-( --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Installation - Updates / Ideas
by Lukas Ocilka 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hi, openSUSE has still some problems with memory limitations and with ZYPP killing the fist stage installation when all logs are stored in memory only - it's sometimes very hard to get them. To reduce the memory limitations or log to a safe place, you can use a new article: http://en.opensuse.org/Logging_YaST_to_USB_Stick_in_Installation or an older one: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Remote_Logging_in_Installation To reduce the memory limitations by swapping on a removable device (USB stick), you can use this solution: http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Installation_with_Little_Memory&redi… Lukas

[opensuse-factory] Kernel Upgrade 2.6.20
by Dominique Leuenberger 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hi everybody, As I have the ftp factory tree in my installation sources, of course My OS is constantly trying to update around 1000 packages. So far no problem at att :-) (except my low bandwidth.. but that's another story). Just one question: Does somebody know when the kernel upgrade to 2.6.20 might be possible? So far, the kernel (in rc4) is there, but an update is not possible es for example the wlan-kmp is missing (and yes, I'm on a wireless connection). But still, I would like to test on the new kernel, as some features of my notebook (Flash Media) should finally be supported :-) Or is there something I can contribute in this case?

[opensuse-factory] ZMD Database
by Dominique Leuenberger 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hi, I'm just in process of a bit analyzing the Zen Process... Some comments / questions on the database: - The Table catalogs contains a field 'checksum', which parse-repodata is comparing on. But on my respective DB, this field is empty, with exception to @system As far as I understood parse-repodata, it would skip the whole parser in case the checksum were identical. (probably imrpoving the 'wakeup speed'?) could we store a checksum found in repomd.xml in here? On wakeup, the repo is downloaded and compared.. so by downloading repomd.xml (which is always very small) and comparing the hash to i.e. the has stored for primary.xml[.gz] found in repomd.xml, could improve a bit here. Comments? Am I completely off or could this be a direction? I would also be willing to help coding on this product. With whom should I get in touch for this? (I don't just want to implement a patch on 'good luck'. It should be discussed first) Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] RUG more 'solid'
by Dominique Leuenberger 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hi, I'm trying to bring my 10.2 Installation up to Factory again to follow the development and start yelling when something goes wrong :-) so far, I did not see new errors (but was also not able to upgrade yet). The only thing I still see with zmd/rug is: When there are to many packages coming in (at the moment I should update ~ 1050 packages), I can almost be certain that the upgrade fails. To high the chances that the download of any single package gets a failure and kills the whole task, usually even killing zmd. Most likely that's an issue you can not see within the Novell Network, when getting the packages from a local server with high bandwidth. Unfortunately, I'm only connected with 2.5Mbps, and thus it appears a bit more likely. Is there something that could be done against this? I mean: I have nothing against a failure... but at least zmd should stay active and allow me to relkaunch a rug up (and no: as long as zypper gives me this subjective feeling of being slow, I prefer having zmd/rug running, with a sleep timer set to 60 minutes, and I don't want to hassle around with smart for the moment). Looking forward for some comments, Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] RFC: Topics for next dist meeting
by Andreas Jaeger 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

We're having tomorrow again our distribution meeting where we discuss major future changes to the distribution. I have so far on the agenda: * libata per default: We plan to use libata even for IDE devices. This opens some challenges for updates. * mDNSresponder->avahi We discussed some time ago to drop mDNSresponder and use only avahi. I'd like to know whether we're ready to this now. Is there anything you like to comment on this so that I can present it tomorrow? Are there further topics I should bring up in future meetings?

[opensuse-factory] Better Support for Intel Macs 10.3
by Marcel Hilzinger 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

Are ther any plans on this? I installed 10.2 on a Mac Mini and it works quite well. But I found the following problems: - (Official) documentation - Installer does not recognize Mac partitons. YaST shows them as Linux Native. What about a resizer for HFS+, so we do not need bootcamp? - Bootloader Installation even on a partition is not possible. I had to call grub-install /dev/sda3 manually. Maybe we could integrate refit - After first reboot, the partition table was not altered, so booting the installed system was not possible, as YaST found no partitions from type 82/83. Booting the rescue system and changing the ID solved this issue - how to switch bluetooth/wlan on/off? On Notebooks this is usually done via Hotkeys, but on the Mac Mini, if you switched it off under Mac OS X, how can you enable it under Linux -Special keys: the eject button works, but the volume buttons do not (normal USB Mac keyboard) Shall I create a wiki-page for the problems or bugzilla entries? Or is perfect intel mac support not a goal at all? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Zenupdater unable to solve dependencies
by M9. 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, best wishes... After reorganising my hdd, according to the new expectations, i Installed 10.2 from the retail dvd, i got for testing, subject still the same as before... I attached the logs to Bug #230687. Since there was improvement, i decided to stay a while with the zenupdater. It looks good, takes not that much time anymore, but if it stays like this, it is useless. Is it possible, to let it install the updates where the dependencies are fullfilled, and leave those which are unfullfilled? Or is SuSE gonna drop the updater?

[opensuse-factory] rug / zypper comparision
by Dominique Leuenberger 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi, I'm getting with this to the factory list as I don't want to bother 'regular user support' in the opensuse-ML. Everybody nowadays is talking about how much better zypper would be compared to rug/zmd. Can somebody just in short tell me where the advantage is? Ok: it does not use the zm-daemon, but this one is running quiet nice in 10.2 (didn't have to many probs yet.. or I'm not aware of them...) On the other hand, with zypper, I always have to su just to install a single package. That's something I like about rug for example: I can add a catalog as su, subscribe to it, and from there my users are allowed to grab packages. Without knowing the su password. But they are not allowed to install an rpm using rug (at least that was what my test showed me: it's ok to INstall from a subscribed catalog, but nor from a local rpm) And in overall, rug feels 'faster' for me compared to zypper. This especially as zypper, whenever I do something like zypper lu or zypper se, refreshes the catalogs. There seems to be no caching at all or it's not working for me. and this makes zypper quiet slow. rug OTOH just gives me the requested output. The fact, that an update can happen on a repo just in the time between the last refresh, is quiet low. I admit, in some cases this lead to unresolvable dependencies. So: I'm looking forward to hear some other statements, maybe corrections.

Hi. Seems like I don't get anymore mail from the commit mailing list. Last mail came 22/12-06. As I'm already tracking factory and keep downloading new stuff I think it's strange that I don't get any information about the updates from the commit mailing list. Am I the only one this happens for?
