by Jasem Mutlaq 22 Dec '07

22 Dec '07

Hello, What's the procedure to submit and publish a package to openSUSE official non-oss repository? Anyone specific to contact? The package is for a line of astronomy CCD cameras and filter wheels manufactured by SBIG, it includes a binary library and firmware for the camera. Redistribution is allowed and the RPM is ready for i586 and x86_64 platforms.

[opensuse-factory] Update a non active factory installation
by Markus Koßmann 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

I'am using a 10.3 installation for working and a factory installation for playing. To be up to date , the first thing I have to do when booting factory, is to run the update. But often this lasts 2 hours and then there is no time to play with factory any more :-(. My idea is now, to run the update for factory in the background when running the 10.3 installation. The steps, I've done so far is mount the factory installation to /mnt , do a mount --bind /mnt/etc/zypp /etc/zypp to make zypper using the factory configuration and then running "zypper -R /mnt -t package" . That works for most packages , but there a some failures in post install scripts. Which additional steps are needed to provide the environment to get all post install scripts working ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] smbfs vs. init scripts
by Felix Miata 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Is there anything in the shutdown scripts that would have been changed as a result of the removal of smbmount, smbumount, smbmnt from samba-client and smbfs from the kernel? Now since restoring smbfs function to one of my systems, init 6 no longer causes a reboot if there are smbfs mounts. If I 'umount -a; init 6' then I get a near normal reboot (some expected shutdown messages never appear). If I init 6 with smbfs mounts still on, then init 6 goes through some shutdown motions and stops. If after some time I hit enter on the console used to do init 6, I get a prompt returned. If I then init 2, I get a near instant reboot. :-p -- " Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

gcc version 4.3.0 20071129 (experimental) [trunk revision 130511] (SUSE Linux) While trying to build sources that previously built with gcc-4.2, I have had to add header files, e.g <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <memory>, <pm_config.h> to source files as I went along and met failures.

[opensuse-factory] Provide packages for Novell Client for Linux
by Dominique Leuenberger 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hello, What do you think? Would it be an option to offer the Novell Client for Linux either directly in the factory distribution or at least on some point in the Build Service? The iso files available are only for SLE versions but I'm sure it would work as good with openSUSE, if the right packages would be available. Or is there a specific reason for not providing them on the openSUSE Platform, like urging people to get the SLE editions? Thanks for considering, and keep up the good work!

[opensuse-factory] Some remarks and questions regarding current factory
by Joerg Mayer 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hello, when updating my 10.2 system to factory using "zypper dup" I noticed a few things: - Most things worked very nice! - Some packages are still named 10.3.1 instead of 11.0 and the devs package is still in the 10.2 version. rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME} %{DISTRIBUTION}\n' | grep -v "openSUSE 11.0" libmusicbrainz4 openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586) perl-DBD-SQLite openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586) ocrad openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586) kdevelop3 openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586) yast2-schema openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586) libqtpod openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586) pdftk openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586) devs openSUSE 10.2 (i586) <--- what happended to this package? - OpenOffice crashes on all powerpoints that I try to open. The most recent "zypper dup" generated the following messages: Package ghostscript-fonts-other-8.60-13 fails integrity check. Package libgcj43-jar-4.3.0_20071129-6 fails integrity check. Package x11-input-wacom-0.7.8-60 fails integrity check. Package xen-doc-html-3.1.0_15042-77 fails integrity check. Package xen-doc-pdf-3.1.0_15042-77 fails integrity check. Package xorg-x11-libX11-ccache-7.3-25 fails integrity check. And the question I have regading zypper: Currently "zypper dup" restores rpms that I deleted (like wireshark, *beagle*). Is there a way to prevent that? Thanks Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer(a)loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.

Hi!

[opensuse-factory] yast2-ncurses help wanted : tab support
by Katarina Machalkova 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hola opensuse users! (and yast hackers) If you're using YaST ncurses interface, you might have already noticed that currently there is no support for tab widgets there (i.e. ncurses equivalent of Qt TabBar, see some screenshots here: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qtabwidget.html#details ). Instead, quite a clumsy workaround with push buttons or radio buttons is used in some modules I'm looking for someone who would write tab support for yast2-ncurses library, in other words, add a C++ class for tab widget into YaST ncurses UI. Ideally, I'd like it to be someone from openSUSE community :) With current mod-ui (which is a new UI engine in openSUSE 11) it could be pretty simple and straightforward. You don't need to know anything about ncurses programming (actually, you'll see none, or the very minimum of libncurses code when coding the class). What you really need is: * knowledge object-oriented programming in C++ * at least some awareness about UI events and event handlers So if you are e.g. an university student looking for simple C/C++ assignment (that you could 'recycle' at school ;-) ), or if you're looking for a way how to spend your ITO, or if you just want to help to improve your favourite UI ;-) just drop me an e-mail ev. ping me on freenode IRC #yast channel. I'm going to assist you with coding and provide all the information you'd need. Thanks B. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter

[opensuse-factory] Bugzilla Tutorial for testers
by Keith Goggin 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hi list, When I uncover what I suspect to be a bug, I search both the factory mailing list and Bugzilla for the occurrence of a likely keyword. More often than not my searches are unsuccessful, so based on my own level of confidence that I may have found a genuine bug, I will either post a query on the mailing list or open a bug report. The following are not uncommon responses:- 1. Already reported see bug#...... 2. Just open a bug report and don't bother to post on the list. 3. Suggest a workaround, which while often helpful, defeats the purpose of testing. Occasionally some well meaning person will even give what proves to be the wrong advise. Now in the interest of not wasting anybody's time, including my own, I would like to suggest that all testers, including volunteers, be given access to Novell's Bugzilla tutorials. This course of action may lead to an improvement in the quality of bug reports with fewer duplicates and quicker resolution not to mention a significant reduction in traffic on the factory mailing list. Please consider. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Alpha DVD installation woes
by Bryen 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

I've recently installed the Alpha DVD iso for 11.0 and encountered serveral problems. Took darn near 50 hours to get the DVD downloaded via bittorrent. Wonder if others have experienced it as well? An overview first: This is a Dell SC420 PowerEdge Server box. It has both an onboard Intel e7221 video card and NVidia 7300 GS videocard. 750GB SATA drive, 2GB RAM, a sound card, scsi card (unused), It is set up to tri-boot with Alpha/10.3/SLES 10SP1. All are new installs. Previously, it was used as a SLES server. 1) The very first problem encountered, sax2 wouldn't start. At this time, I was hooked up to the onboard video card. The 10.3 install also encountered the same problem. When I did the install again with the Nvidia card installed, sax2 issues went away. Only SLES would start up with Intel. Looks like Intel e7221 is unsupported in 10.3 and above. A bug has been filed talking about this issue. 2) During the yast install process, I could not click on options when proposal screens came up. For example, when it came up with "Partitioning, Software, Locale", I could not click on those options. But I could change the options by selecting the "Change" button at the bottom. 3) SLES and 10.3, yast detected the sound card. Alpha yast says sound card is 'nil'. 4) All three detect the onboard gigabit NIC. However, Alpha leaves it as unconfigured/unused, even though I have set it to use DHCP. As a consequence, presently, I am unable to go out and get any updates that might fix the problem. I'm sure I should be filing bugs on all the above issues, but I wanted to investigate more and see if similar experiences exist before I do anything more. -- ---Bryen--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Checking dependencies using YAST
by Hugo Oosterkamp 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

>From time to time I use YAST to update (10.3 AMD 64). I also have the problem that the connection sometimes goes bad half way the update process. By then YAST has already installed/updated certain components (applied diff RPMs). My question is if it is possible for YAST to re-check every package and ensure that all the missing dependencies are installed and if not to reinstall the missing dependencies. Currently I have the feeling that certain dependencies are not present and the box locks up. If I would know which ones are missing I could do a forced reinstall... This issues was discussed a while back and can not find it in the bugslist Hugo -- Hugo Oosterkamp Land & Water Development Wat San Coordinator Moçambique Intermon Oxfam email: hugo(a)oosterkamp.eu 00 258 82 622 8796 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
