[opensuse-factory] konquerer / KDE SSL problem?
by Volker Kuhlmann 11 Mar '07

11 Mar '07

Could someone please check out whether they get a response (login page) from https://authorproof.ieee.org/ please? Mine always times out after a long wait. Using firefox or wget works, so it's not my firewall or ieee's server!!! Running wireshark shows no data is ever received back from the server when using konqueror, but there's a normal exchange with firefox. openSUSE 10.2 with all current updates except kernel. A second 10.2 computer shows the same problem. All other http:// and https:// sites I have been using in the last many months have been fine. Is this only affecting me or others too - before I open a bug? Which component could the problem be in?

[opensuse-factory] Checksum errors on packages.en
by Magnus Boman 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hello list! I have an issue when at home which I'm hoping for some help with. I have two installation sources on my machines (I've got two machines and 4 different installations of openSUSE 10.3Alpha1Plus). When I try to refresh the inst-sources, it starts to download everything, and when it's done, it tells me that there is a checksum verification error on packages.en. I've tried the following installation sources and they all fail; http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-fact… http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/ins… http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ The other day, I went to my work office and refreshed the inst sources on my laptop, and it all worked fine! Then when I came back home, it was "broken" again. On the laptop, I've tried both wired and wireless but with the same result. I know that (most, if not all) other people don't have this issue. What I would like to do, is to try to pin-point where it goes wrong. So my question; 1. Is it somehow possible to download packages.en manually and then use some utility to do a checksum test on it (it needs to be identical to what libzypp is doing) to see if it actually fails. Then I can VPN in to the office and download it from there and do the same test. Any other help trying to figure this out would be much appreciated. Cheers, Magnus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tor package
by Nikolay Derkach 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

I suggest including tor [1] package to the distribution. I suppose many people use anonymous Tor network in their daily activities and this app would be very usefull. In addition a GUI frontend like TorK [2] is welcome. What do you think about this? [1] http://tor.eff.org [2] http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=39442 -- Regards, Nikolay Derkach

[opensuse-factory] xvkbd and tablet pcs. Please make xvkbd optional in 10.3, kde integration
by antikristian 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

I've currently got a Toshiba tablet PC with built in keyboard and a wacom tablet built in. In opesuse 10.2, the xvkbd virtual keyboard is started automaticaly as you log into KDE I do see why this is but I really do not use it and it is only an annoyance to me and probably others with a convertibla tablet PC. What I would really would have liked is a virtual keyboard that you could add to kicker or a panel. This would allow it to hide automatically like a normal panel can be configured, it would not constantly take up space on the taskbar and it would be more similar to how a PDA place a virtual keyboard. I would really like to have the virtual keyboard (and text recognition) as a more integrated part of the desktop environment. The current situation of having an odd program here and there does not give you a feeling of consistency. I was planning to undertake this task myself, but I am not a sufficient QT/c++/kde developer as of yet. I hope someone would find this to be an interesting project because the linux tablet support is in need of some minor work here and there. -- Mvh Kristian Alvestad --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Update policy, Seamonkey and OpenOffice.org
by Terje J. Hanssen 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

I'm wondering what is the policy and what decides which package versions that become updated to the current released openSUSE vs which versions that only become available on the factory and upcoming openSUSE version? I.e. Semonkey 1.0.99 = version 1.1b(eta) is still the version for both the current openSUSE 10.2 and on the Factory list. According to Mozilla/Seamonkey the 1.1 beta was released on November 8, 2006, the final 1.1 was released on Jan 18, 2007 and the current version 1.1.1 was released recently on February 28. Especially as 1.1b is a beta, I had waited an update for openSUSE 10.2. OpenOffice_org 2.0.4 was released with openSUSE 10.2, while OpenOffice 2.1 is the current Factory version. The current OpenOffice 2.1.0 is available on the Factory list. Are there any chances that updates for Seamonkey and OpenOffice will become available for openSUSE? Rgds, Terje J.

[opensuse-factory] Are we supposed to be moving this fast?
by Per Jessen 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

I've had a couple bug reports closed with WONTFIX, despite the reports being perfectly documented and diagnosed. To summarise the reasoning - "your hardware is too old or buggy, so we can't be bothered". I operate a 7x24 production environment with a few thousand customers, so I understand the reasoning with respect to aiming for an SLES release. I have also not reopened any of those bugreports. But - is it right for openSUSE to move towards an environment where only recent hardware is supported properly? The hardware I'm talking about is datacentre-level servers (Compaq mostly), up to 7 or 8 years old. I can accept that SUSE gave up on supporting Intel 486s long ago, despite these being used in production in many environments around the world, but I'm not really comfortable with openSUSE taking on a Vista-like attitude of "if your hardware isn't up-to-date, you're effed". /Per Jessen, Zürich -- ENIDAN Technologies GmbH - managed email-security.

[opensuse-factory] libzypp broken this week
by Duncan Mac-Vicar 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Hi everyone This week we are integrating a new libzypp which uses a new buildsystem and a new .so version, which will be the base for integrating the features for 10.3 This uncovered some problems with link order and static initialization which we are solving this week. So it is very likely applications will crash or segfault. The integration of new packages had some effect in zypp stack. Like a curl bug affecting ftp source probing, which is [now fixed][1]. So be careful, I'd recommend to install / update the packagemanager stack only in a virtual machine this week. Also, we updated [the instructions how to build][2] for this new series. Had fun.
