Compiz-Fusion will consist of following: 1. compiz-fusion-plugins-main 2. compiz-fusion-plugins-extra 3. compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported 4. CompizConfig-Settings-Manager (ccsm) containing gconf and kconfig backends 5. libcompizconfig (ccsm dep and provides ccp plugin for ini backend) 6. compizconfig-python (ccsm dep) > compiz is right now as new as it can be.

Unfortunately compiz package in X11:XGL need some more work, I am not sure gconf schemas are applied right and default settings(decoration, opensuse logo etc) patches actually work. I will move fusion etc there once I am happy with compiz package there. gnome-xgl-settings might need to be updated or improved so that it can dynamically recognize all the plugins and offer settings options the way ccsm does or drop it completely in favor of ccsm or use it just to activate and deactivate Xgl. It might also be good idea to offer choice to switch between Xgl/Nvidia/AIGLX with smart default. I felt compiz-git package from home:cyberorg worked much better with ccp (ini/flatfile backend) when configured with ccsm. I have updated all the packages in home:cyberorg to todays git checkout of both compiz and compiz-fusion/community packages. To test those packages run this in shell as root: rpm -e compiz compiz-gnome compiz-kde zypper sa http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/cyberorg/SUSE_Factory* cftest zypper in compiz-git-all (this will pull all the required packages) once everything is downloaded and installed as user launch compiz as follows: compiz --replace ccp& ccsm & Enable "Decoration" plugin and add gtk-window-decorator as command option there. *http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/cyberorg/openSUSE_10.2/ if using 10.2 ** With zypper broken on factory, you may have to manually enable the repo from /etc/zypper/repo.d/cftest.repo by adding enabled=1 and manually run zypper refresh cftest. Although there has not been any 'official' release of fusion packages yet, packages from git work quite well, I would love to have them in 10.3. > Also I do not know right now how far we are already in the process of > eventually adding packages built by the openSUSE community (Cyberorg is > not working for SUSE) to our distributions. 1 Million downloads in 4 months, if statistic over at Build Service is to be believed, makes a strong point that packages from X11:Xgl should be incorporated in 10.3.

[opensuse-factory] PS2 mouse in a console
by Donn Washburn 22 Jul '07

I had a problem today with Alpha 5 Yast2 and a ps/2 mouse. The mouse is one of those LED 2 button wheel mouse. It worked just fine in 10.1 and previous;y in Alpha 5. However, after a reload of Alpha 5 using Yast2/Hardware/Mousse will not enable the mouse other that in the runlevel 5 KDM/GDM/XDM. After Yast2 was exited I "cd" to /etc/init.d and did "./gdm start" with no luck. I have tried changing the drivers (both drivers are ps2 or AUX). As I recall I set the gdm up in the Runlevel editor.

[opensuse-factory] ndiswrapper should be included in 1-cd install

I think ndiswrapper should be included on 1CD install. Many users have network cards whose only possibility to work under linux is ndiswrapper. As a consequence, I think it would be of great help to provide ndiswrapper directly on the CD.

[opensuse-factory] when to refresh?
by Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi guys. If you read already the news on package management, there are some open issues we would like to have feedback from you. As you may know, now all operations on repositories are splitted, so you can add a repository without downloading metadata. But at some point to operate on them you need valid metadata and a binary cache. An example: zypper sa http://foo bar zypper search moo zypper install cuack for the search, you need cache, for the cache you need metadata. Should ZYpper exit and tell the user to refresh, or should it ask the user whether to refresh without exiting? In the case of YaST, should it download and refresh when adding the repos in inst_source, or should it do it during startup of the package selector? -- Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett Novell :: SUSE R&D, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg 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] libzypp: what to test on alpha6
by Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Repository handling - Repositories can now be added either via yast, zypper or just copying a .repo file to /etc/zypp/repos.d - a .repo file added by hand could have more than one repository defined inside. - Mixing of hand repo operations with API repo operations in all combinations should succeed. We have testcases for this but still more can be find. We cover cases like, add a repo file with 2 repositories by hand, then delete one with zypper, and the other one should still be in the same file without loosing attributes. - Cache, cache size, adding and removing. adding repos, removing, adding (mixing hand operations with app operations), thousand times, the db size should not increase too much, neither stay constant (some things like names survive cache deletion because removing unused ones is a expensive operation ) Known to be somehow broken right now, but should be tested in the next alphas: - Media handling, this is the most broken part. - patches with scripts and delta rpms - Disk usage calculation (should) be broken. -- Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett Novell :: SUSE R&D, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg 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] package management in next alpha/10.3
by Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi community, The next alpha6 of openSUSE 10.3 will contain lot of changes in the package management code. I will try to summarize what is new so you can help us testing. The integration can bring some regressions, so please test it and help us to fix the remaining bugs during the betas. What were the goals: * no more refresh and parsing during startup. * more compatibility with tools like yum and smart * more speed for the common use case: install a package Before ZYpp did not make difference between launching the sources and refreshing them. This was quite annoying, and turned into needing network access for any operation requiring launching the sources first, like deleting, adding, searching. How does it work now? * Repositories now have a unique (in your system) alias. * Adding a repository is just a matter of copying [a .repo file ][1] (like those provided by the build service) to /etc/zypp/repos.d directory. If you use zypper or YaST it will create them for you, and perform additional checks. * Download of metadata happens during refresh. Also in this operation a binary cache is created. * deleting a repository is just a matter of deleting its .repo file, or doing it via zypper/YaST (they take additional checks like vacuum the cache). * YaST was just adapted and is still WIP, so in some places the old semantics could be still used (like refreshing repos even if it is not needed). * The binary cache allow to start up zypper and install packages in a much faster way. Caching the metadata is slow. But you do it once per refresh, and the data is stored preparsed in the cache. This allows to launch small repos in fraction of a second, and big repos in seconds later. No more parsing files in each startup. * Before lot of memory was used because most of the GUI data (descriptions, etc) was read into memory. Now all attributes (except resolvable information, for which we need indexes) is loaded on demand from the cache. * refresh operation uses now much less memory. One one object is kept in memory at time while writing the cache. For the developers: * Lot of testcases. We can do more aggressive development without breaking basic stuff. * Lot of redesign, to be able to implement new features. * We build with cmake now You expect for the future (post 10.3): * Integrate search with the cache, so no need to launch the resolvables and loop for searching * solving some queries from the cache?

[opensuse-factory] packages.sk
by Peter Czanik 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hello, Spent some time debugging it, so I share my experience: I use a local http server as installation source for factory. After yesterday's sync I found, that installation sources are broken, packages.sk is not available. It turned out, that it's a symlink, and 'AllowSymLinks' is missing from my apache configuration. This brings up a few questions: - the symlink was here since May. Why did not cause it any problem earlier? - why do I need packages.sk at all, when my installation is English and / or Hungarian? This is a wasted 5 MB of RAM, especially on low RAM machines, which I test. Just checked, over 400MB of swap is used, while earlier alpha releases used under 300MB. The best was around Alpha3 from this point of view, if I recall well... Bye, CzP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hey Group; I was doing some "locate" when I found "kdeinit4" under /usr/bin. However, there are no file to go with it so it dies. I tried "startx kdeinit4. and it bombs (no surprise).

I have a motherboard MSI K9A PLATINUM with a Athlon64 X2 5200, and I can't install any version of Suse or Opensuse beause the install program do'nt detects dthe har disk. The install program will load the ahci module, but it's buggy, and the bios is set to "Native IDE" I changed the setting to ahci, but do'nt works. I triyed to use the sata disk from my old computer with OSS 10.3 alpha5 32 bits, but I could'nt lograte to mount and load the system. I added to the initrd the modules atiixp, pata_atiixp and sata_sil. The bios is set to "Native IDE". How appear the disk? as ide or scsi? How I need to name the patitions?. In my old computer the roor partition appear as /dev/sda2. I have installed a Asus dvd ide burner as first ide device. What modules I must to include in initrd?

Is there a plan to include fingerprint reader support in 10.3? According to Thinkwiki there is a thinkfinger driver and Fedora has a libbiometrics RPM implementing it. -- 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

Hey Group; SuSE 10.3 Alpha 5 and it was in Alpha 4 also I have tracked it down to a problem coming from KDE. From .xsession this "MNG error 11" showed up and it goes for pages of lines.

[opensuse-factory] Java 6
by Glenn Holmer 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

What are the plans for Java 6 in openSUSE 10.3? Will it be included? Will the user be able to choose between Java 5 and Java 6 at install time? Will there be an easy way to switch between versions once the install is complete? How about Tomcat 6? -- "Mozilla, unlike emacs, is not an operating system."

So, Michael and myself *propose* the following actions: * Remove ARCAD completely since it does not work at all on x86-64 (see bug #248873) * Offer software that reached either > 80% on "Never" or less than 15 % on "Often" + "Very often" only via *ftp* with 10.3.
