[opensuse-factory] Heads up for 2.6.21
by Sid Boyce 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

On openSUSE 10.2 (KDE-3.5.5) and 10.3 Alpha (KDE-3.5.6), I've encountered a problem with vanilla 2.6.21-rc1 up to 2.6.21-rc2-git1. KDE is setup not to require a password to unlock the screen, but it asks for password. When given the password, it unlocks, but kwin, kicker, klauncher and may be other kdeinit stuff have died with no errors reported. Doing straces do not show errors. If I start those 3 from the command line, everything comes back except the desktop icons and the next lock will repeat the same sequence. The workaround I've found is to move kdesktop_lock out of /opt/kde3/bin, everything comes back intact when a key is pressed or the mouse is moved after the screen is blanked. NOTE, this is just a heads up, so no action is expected. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] [RFC] autofs5
by Matthias Koenig 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, I would like to update to autofs5. autofs5 is a major rewrite of autofs4 and while there might still be some problems I hope it is stable enough. Fedora is already shipping this. We really should have it in Code 11, so I want this to be tested in openSUSE 10.3. Most of the new features enhance the functionality to be more compliant with industry standard. For testing purposes I already provide packages for factory and 10.2 in the buildservice: http://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Amakoenig Here is a list of changes: Differences v4 vs. v5 --------------------- - Master map is now read and parsed by the `automount' daemon - The master map default is "auto.master" and nsswitch is used to locate it. The line "+auto.master" has been added to the default installed "/etc/auto.master" to ensure that those using NIS will still find their master map. This is in line with other industry automount implementations. - The `automount' daemon is now a multi-threaded application - `autofs' filesystem mounts only appear in /proc/mounts and not /etc/mtab. - `autofs' version 5.0.0 will refuse to run if it cannot find an autofs4 kernel module that supports protocol version 5.00 or above. - mount options present in the master map are now overridden by mount options in map entries instead of being accumulated. This behaviour is in line with other industry automount implementations. New features in v5 ------------------ - improved direct mount map support - `+' map inclusion - added nsswitch map source support - rewrote multi-mount map code - added LDAP encryption and authentication support - improved shutdown and restart - a "hosts" map module has been added Before going to factory, any comments on this update?

[opensuse-factory] Network profiles in NetworkManager
by Alberto Passalacqua 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

An interesting enhancement, which seems to be already present in Fedora, was suggested by a user (psp250) in IRC. NetworkManager at the moment is able to connect to manage only a single static IP, and if static DNS are specified, it's unable to update them when it connects to a dynamic network. The suggestion is to: * Make NM able to manage more configurations for the same network card (for example, if the wireless card is used to connect to different AP's, some with fixed configurations, some with dynamic ones). * Make NM able to manage static and dynamic DNS without having to change the settings in Yast.
