[opensuse-factory] eCryptfs in 10.3
by Michael Halcrow 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I noticed that ecryptfs-utils version 10 is in openSUSE 10.3 Alpha. I am the lead developer for eCryptfs, so if there are any support issues, send them my way. Note that ecryptfs-utils is now at version 18, with several minor bugfixes. I recommend picking that up: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ecryptfs/ecryptfs-utils-18.tar.gz Thanks, Mike Halcrow mhalcrow(a)us.ibm.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Fwd: [opensuse] Why all the icons were uglified in 10.3 Alpha 6 ?
by Alexey Eremenko 27 Jul '07

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Clayton <smaug42(a)gmail.com> Date: Jul 25, 2007 10:15 PM Subject: Re: [opensuse] Why all the icons were uglified in 10.3 Alpha 6 ? To: Open SuSE Listserv <opensuse(a)opensuse.org> > In SUSE 10.2, all the Yast icons were beautyful, now they all became ugly. > > Why is that? That was discussed on the factory list. Quoting Andreas: "YaST has the Tango icons - this is a feature. If you want the old icons, please use the opensuse-Crystal yast theme," and "Tango icons in general fit much better to KDE4 than the crystal ones - and we would like to maintain only one icon set," While I fully understand (and support) the need to reduce maintenance overhead.... well... my very low opinions of Gnome and the Tango icon set are better left unsaid... especially that annoying and broken file picker thing that GTK based apps use (eg Firefox). Sigh.... C. -- ==================================== Please make it at least selectable, as those ugly icons have good chances for me to stop using SUSE at all. They are so ugly... -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] pdftk 1.41
by Carlos F Lange 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Which version of pdftk is being included in 10.3? I just found that version 1.41 shown here: http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk/ also does stamping beside watermarking. While watermarking works well placing background images on text-based PDFs, such as from Latex, it does not work with scanned PDFs, because the watermark in the background is completely covered by the scanned image. pdftk 1.41 can circumvent that by applying a stamp on the front of the scanned images, according to the description. The website only has version 1.41 compiled for Windows. The latest Suse version in the site is 1.12, which is the same I have in Suse 10.1. -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] how to create a bootable CD from the DVD iso?
by Per Jessen 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

I'm sure someone's already asked, but I couldn't find the answer - how do I create a bootable CD from the Alpha6 DVD image? I usually install over pxe/ssh, but I've got a bit of a tough case, so figured I'd try booting from CD. (as I did with alpha5). /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Next week, next alpha
by Stephan Kulow 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hi! As not everyone might follow the recent changes of the wiki, I'd like to tell you quickly that we'll release next week's alpha to the public. I hope we can sort out all blockers till then. The factory tree looked ok to me this morning. But I hope to have a new sync with a fixed syslog-ng soonish - for the impatient ones I suggest http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/syslog-ng/ Greetings, Stephan -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Factory update breaks the system (resmgr problem)
by Silviu Marin-Caea 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

I have just performed an update to latest factory, and there must be something broken with resmgr. /dev/null is not accessible by my user, I get /dev/null permission denied when I log in the console, and KDE does not start at all. I have stopped the resmgr service and then chmod a+rw /dev/null, to be able to use KDE. I'll file a bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] renaming of source packages proposal
by Stanislav Brabec 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hallo. I saw many renames of packages in the last days. We follow shared library packaging conventions, but this policy says nothing about renaming of source package. I think, that it would be a good practice to use the same name for both devel and source package. It's more convenient and even simpler to do it in the spec. I propose to add following line to the Packaging/Shared Library Packaging Policy: "Source packages should in general omit $NUM as .src.rpm packages for different library versions and should follow -devel package naming." In practice it will bring more convenient .src.rpm naming and nicer spec files and less number of renames and drops in the repositories. Deprecated: Name: libfoo_1_2_3 Version: 1.2.3 %define orig_name libfoo Source: %{orig_name}-%{version}.tar.bz2 ... %files ... %files -n %{orig_name}-devel It produces: libfoo_1_2_3-1.2.3.i586.rpm libfoo-devel-1.2.3.i586.rpm libfoo_1_2_3-1.2.3.src.rpm Proposed: Name: libfoo Version: 1.2.3 Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2 ... %files -n libfoo_1_2_3 ... %files devel It produces: libfoo-1_2_3-1.2.3.i586.rpm libfoo-devel-1.2.3.i586.rpm libfoo-1.2.3.src.rpm -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Alpha 6: libzypp memory consumption
by Andreas Vetter 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi, I installed the x86_64 DVD yesterday and had problems when I selected a big amount of packages. First I selected a pattern (KDE4), the machine begins to resolve the dependencies (autocheck is on by default). After some time X is stopped, it falls into the ncurses interface and it shows a red error without explanation, what exactly happened. The second time I ommitted KDE4, but selected all other patterns then switched to package groups. And began to select whole package groups with "All in this list". This worked for the first one or two, but then the same as above: The machine begins to resolve the dependencies (autocheck is on by default). After some time X is stopped, it falls into the ncurses interface and it shows a red error without explanation, what exactly happened. After the second experience of this, I switched to the console log and saw that the Out-Of-Memory function killed hal daemon. The machine has 1 GB RAM, so this should not happen. Is there a known problem with memory consumption during installation? -- Andreas Vetter Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] problem with YAST software management
by Gregg Nicholas 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

I've tried Alpha6 (i386) on 2 different machines now. Neither machine can add more software packages after the initial installation. They keep erroring with 'No installation source'. It looks like my symptoms are similar to bug reports 293586 and 293705. I'm a newbie. Is there anything that I can do to help? <notes> During installation, the media check step verifies that the DVD-RW is okay. Skipped network setup but took defaults on everything else for a KDE installation. disabled ipv6, enabled ssh & vnc skip internet check - error - No package source defined [OK] configure normal user to receive system email dvd shows up in system:/media/sr0 as SU103Alp.001 Yast software management Warning - No installation source is defined.
