[opensuse-factory] eth0 set to activate at boot time by default? - dhcp runs even when eth0 unplugged
by Willem Meens 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi All, Was wondering if others have noticed this too: When booting and also when restarting the network service, openSUSE is trying to get an address for an unplugged Ethernet port - resulting in an unnecessary delay. Turns out the network device defaults to 'activate at boot time' instead of 'on cable connect'. I've noticed this with a clean install of beta2 and beta3. Might be relevant: this is on a Dell Latitude laptop that has a Broadcom (b44) nic. Anyone else having this? note: I've also installed the Xen packages.. could be this sets the nic to always be active? Will check this is related on my next fresh beta4 install.

[opensuse-factory] factory upgrade: zypper dup timeout aborting.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Another problem I have with "zypper dup" is that, not only my adsl is not fast enough, but that it has "coughs": ... Retrieving: efont-unicode-0.4.2-215.9.noarch.rpm [error (1.1 K/s)] Timeout exceed Abort, retry, ignore? [A/r/i]: A Retrieving: content [done] Problem retrieving the package file from the repository: Can't provide ./suse/noarch/efont-unicode-0.4.2-215.9.noarch.rpm : Timeout exceed I had left it overnight, and in the morning I found that (for that worried about energy star compliance, I also had set it to hibernate via "at" command ;-) ). Some months ago we talked about this. The recommendation was to do "zypper - -n dup -l", which doesn't handle timeouts, AFAIK. Has this situation improved, do we have some new switch to handle this? Other recommendations were of the type: while true; do echo y; echo i; echo 1; done | sudo zypper dup but I don't quite like it. I have also tried "autoexpect", but it fails miserably: autoexpect started, file is script.exp The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more. while executing "spawn -noecho zypper -n dup -l" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval spawn -noecho $argv" invoked from within "if {[llength $argv]>0} { eval spawn -noecho $argv cmd "spawn $argv" } else { spawn -noecho $env(SHELL) cmd "spawn \$env(SHELL)" }" (file "/usr/bin/autoexpect" line 315) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkIPk4ACgkQtTMYHG2NR9UpjwCggdzOZnZ8dS9tnKo2zICY4Yjv H0EAn2ptnsHnacA2LQwUdMN7NymqYeLm =c4PN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Now KOrn is broken, is there another way to 'clean' the mailserver?
by Oddball 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi, As testing sometimes produces unwanted situations, i keep my mail on the server, to be able to approach it from another box of os, if the testbox fails in some regard.... Every day or two, i have to clean the 800 - 1000 mails from it, when i checked them. Is there another app up to do this? tia for an answer PS. Updating to B3 without any probs wse, using the new yast sources module @system. Yast becomes more and more useble, and the speed is gone up a lot. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)

[opensuse-factory] zypper dup -> more than 8500 rpmdb2solv zombie processes
by Rolf Offermanns 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi! I did a zypper dup last night on a post beta2 factory installation. > 900M should be downloaded, updated, reinstalled. With every new package I got multiple rpmdb2solv zombie processes in "ps xa". Close to the end of the dup process, it were more that 8500. I am not sure if this is reproducable, so this is just fyi. Now I see another strange thing: After reboot, I typed "zypper dup" again, to see if the "always update whole distribution" bug was gone. I got the following: rolf@linux:~> sudo zypper dup Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Computing distribution upgrade... The following packages are going to be upgraded: kde4-kupdateapplet-zypp yast2-samba-client The following product is going to be downgraded: openSUSE The following NEW package is going to be installed: openSUSE-release The following product is going to change architecture: openSUSE The following packages are going to change vendor: kde4-kupdateapplet-zypp yast2-samba-client The following product is going to change vendor: openSUSE Overall download size: 117.0 K.

After the operation, 296.0 K will be freed. Continue? [YES/no]: n Is this correct? Why does it first install some packages and in the next run remove them again?

[opensuse-factory] y2logs -- Too Big
by Andrew Joakimsen 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I have some bugs filed against YaST2 for various things and of course I am asked to attach y2logs. But for whatever reason my y2logs are ~14Mb and there is a 10Mb limit in bugzilla. I left a comment a few days ago but there is no response. Are y2logs normally > 10Mb? How do I resolve this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] CUPS external printers blocked by the firewall
by Birger Kollstrand 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi, I noticed that the internal firewall blocks by default for CUPS printers in the network. Is this by the design or is it a bug? I would prefer that openSUSE by default had the CUPS port open.
