[opensuse-factory] Releasing openSUSE Alphas with debuginfo/symbols installed by default
by Alexey Eremenko 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hi ! I would like discuss a new idea: releasing openSUSE Alpha CDs/DVDs with debuginfo/symbols, so people will install that by default. That may ease reproduction of crashes. BETAs/RC/Final don't really need this. -- -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] new mysql bootscript to support the start of multiple database
by Richard Bos 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Hi, anybody out there that want to test a new mysql rpm, that supports the start of multiple databases during system startup (and stop during shutdown)? The rpm and it's dependencies can be retrieved from this repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database:/mysql51/openSUS… The /etc/init.d/mysql script has 2 legs: - 1 with code that is currently in use - and a leg with the new code, that starts and stops multiple databases With a variable in /etc/sysconfig/mysql (or in the sysconfig editor Applications/Mysql) one can select which leg to use. To use the new code the variable MYSQLD_MULTI has to be set "yes". The code to start the multiple databases uses mysqld_multi that comes with the mysql code to start the databases. Databases can be added using the databases sections at the bottom of /etc/my.cnf Looking forward to test reports! -- Richard Bos We are borrowing the world of our children, It is not inherited from our parents. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Torrent creation for the Alpha1_Apha2 delta isos skipped again
by David Bolt 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

As there are no torrents available for the delta ISOs again, it looks like whatever is used to create the torrents has skipped them again. Any ideas on when the torrents will actually be created and then distributed to the mirrors?

[opensuse-factory] Better support for "restricted" software, installation, etc
by Andrew Joakimsen 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

I think it would be nice if openSuSE had better support for restricted codec. e.g.: MP3 and WMV. When using Ubuntu (only good thing about the distro, sorry to say) if I try to play MP3 file it will ask me if I want to load the add-on, ask for the administrator password and the codec is installed. In openSuSE while the process is relatively simple it is more complicated than it should be. When I try to play MP3 with AmaroK I am giving an alart which then takes me to a webpage (http://software.opensuse.org/codecs) which explains the licensing and then if I click through some more links I end up to http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-kde.ymp My question is why not take the user directly to the opensuse-community.org link and when YaST2 loads in the information page that is displayed explain the license issues there. It would be nice for non-experienced Linux users. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [Announcement] New article: Creating Modified Installation System
by Lukas Ocilka 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hi, I've just finished a new article describing creating how to create a modified installation system (for network-based installations). You can find it here http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc/Creating_Modified_Installation_System Is is true that we already have a similar article at http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_customized_installation_source but the behavior has been changed a lot since openSUSE 11.0 Alpha2. I've decided not to modify the old article because it is still valid for openSUSE 10.3 and before, but I've linked them each other. Have a nice day Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic

[opensuse-factory] Error with PPD files and YaST
by Andrew Joakimsen 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

This is very curious. I am trying to setup a Lexmark T520 laserprinter. When I use the PPD from the Windows driver (the same PPD is also found here: ) in YasT it gives an error and does not permit use of the PPD file: Checking file "./LEXT520.PPD" ./LEXT520.PPD: FAIL **FAIL** BAD PSVersion - not "(string) int". REF: Pages 62-64, section 5.3. WARN File contains a mix of CR, LF, and CR LF line endings! WARN Non-Windows PPD files should use lines ending with only LF, not CR LF! WARN Obsolete PPD version 4.2! REF: Page 42, section 5.2. WARN Manufacturer required by PPD 4.3 spec. REF: Pages 58-59, section 5.3. WARN Duplex shares a common prefix with Duplexer REF: Page 15, section 3.2. 0 files passed Problem is its a valid PPD file and if I setup the printer with an http-browser at localhost:631 it works fine. Also I can not find any documentation about this error anyplace on the internet. This isn't a cheap host-based or "winprinter" its a "real" printer that supports Postscript (hence the PPD) 1) The PPD-checking needs to be fixed 2) The error message needs to be changed to express something meaningful or the errormessage needs to be carefully documented. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Installs allright. Networkmanager does not work, ifup does. install-Sources can be added, but not be saved..:-( so updating or whatsoever, is impossible.

[opensuse-factory] Dist Meeting
by Stephan Kulow 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi! We have a meeting every two weeks to discuss larger changes to the distribution and I would you to keep you informed - even though I miss the time to do it every time ;( The people in there are from several R&D teams - desktop to security. So we had two "dist" meetings in january and will have one this week. The topics discussed are below. [2008-01-10] - harmonize system artwork (mili) * created an appliance with new branding * had to tweak many things * should be easy - just drop packages without signing (objection from rudi) * agreement to make it easier * two feature requests: - make it more structurable - create a yast module possibly - just someone needs to do it - who? AI: Mili will do it - sync packages between build service and factory * there are concerns with syncing build service to factory * autobuild team has no time to review the changes for security relevance * Someone _must_ to do a review, the Novell maintainer is responsible for that * We can't do automatic submissions from build service, review is required * We need to define a workflow for the review * build service package need to reviewed as if they come from an independent 3rd party source - lzma (ro) * coreutils submitted with lzma compression * lzma compresses slightly better, but adds yet another dependency * the possibility of having rpm payload with lzma * rejected unless rpm changes * base packages are still restricted to bzip and gzip (all/BASE/*) - changes to the debuginfo packages * remove requires from debuginfo -> no objections * split sources from debuginfo named -debugsource -> no objections * to be continued... [2008-01-24] - debuginfo (Jan) - packaging was topic last time - goal: reliable unwind info / backtrace - don't strip symtab and debug.frame - binary size will increase (no estimate possible) - for i386 it would be "severe" as for x86_64 - currently looking howto compress the sections - mono has similiar problems - but is not about strip AI jblunk: experiment with OOo and give back numbers - java 1.4 (from skh) - we're currently checking to be compatible with 1.4, this seems to be outdated - everyone is 1.5 compatible by now - _should_ be ok with 1.5 now - AI ro: check for 1.5 and no longer 1.4 - AI coolo: tell the java maintainers - changelog format (Thorsten) - changelogs that specify fate and bugzilla numbers need to specify fate#nnnnnn or bnc#nnnnnnn - all other numbers are ok if they are not fate or bnc entries - vendor locks for the solver - what the solver needs to do with packages not from suse? - conclusion: 10.3 behaviour is fine - shared library policy - the policy is not clear on the explicit package name - request: make the policy more strict AI matz: make the rules explicit (remember dots!) AI jpr: send unclear examples - lzma - decompression is much faster - compression is only slower if we'd stay with -9 -> not needed - we need working library (already in BETA) - integration in rpm and deltarpm - to be tested in BETA - upstream maintainer is very open to feedback - how to get rid of old packages (rudi) - if we install a package and update without removing old cruft, it's our responsibility to remove it - the easy solution: remove everything not needed that is from us - solution: offer a feature to help the user to get rid of unmaintained packages that create no problems [2008-02-07 - this is in the future!] I got 3 topics from the imaging workshop happening right now: - how to handle branding of the distribution - forbid host specific %post scripts - I think this is a nobrainer, but we need to make it official :) - make the system easier strippable - e.g. remove languages and split out documentation to make it easier to group packages 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] Keyboard Layout settings changes are not taken into account correctly!
by James PEARSON 10 Feb '08

10 Feb '08

Hello all # Problem The Keyboard Layout settings which in my case is French (azerty) are not taken into account until very late in the installation process # Problem Details In the "Languages" window screen during the installation I selected Language = English(US) Keyboard Layout = French I see "Downloading language extension" message. In the "Installation Settings" window the section "Keyboard window" indicates French but the keyboard layout is still mode "querty" This is very annoying .... try making a custom partition setup when the keyboard configuration is set "querty" when you have a "azerty" key board - I can never remember where to look for "/" or "+" under "querty" settings. In the "Create New User" window, keyboard layout is still mode "querty" In the "Password for the System Administrator "root"" window the Layout settings are correct (in mode azerty). My tests show that the keyboard Layout settings changes made in the "Languages" window screen (which is the very first window one sees during the installation process) are not taken into until "Password for the System Administrator "root"" window. Note : 11.0-Alpha2 was installed using the 11.0-Alpha2 DVD which was made from the openSUSE-11.0-Alpha1_Alpha2-DVD-i386.delta.iso # other details md5sum openSUSE-Alpha2-DVD-i386.iso c307b5f1570511897b787ca11ae092df openSUSE-Alpha2-DVD-i386.iso Any help or comments appreciated Regards James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE:Factory (i586) is broken atm
by Adrian Schröter 10 Feb '08

10 Feb '08

Hi, OBS packagers might notice seg faults when the build enviroment gets setup since 1 or 2 days. I first thought these are broken build hosts, but a second look tells me that this seems to be a problem within the distribution. This bug is only visible for i586 in the OBS (since only i586 build does reuse its packages), but the bug itself may also exist for the other architectures. So I would not update to Factory currently, if you like to mount your filesystems ;) Unfortunatly, I can not debug or workaround this from here (secret place where I stay atm ;). So this will not be fixed before tomorrow ... OBS packagers, please ignore the problem for now, we will most likely need to trigger anyway a complete rebuild when fixing this problem. The problem is that the mount command itself is segfaulting when trying to enable the write mode in the FS. Since this fails, no build can work. A typical build log ends with these lines: Mounting root /dev/hda1 ReiserFS: hda1: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal ReiserFS: hda1: using ordered data mode reiserfs: using flush barriers ReiserFS: hda1: journal params: device hda1, size 8192, journal first block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max commit age 30, max trans age 30 ReiserFS: hda1: checking transaction log (hda1) ReiserFS: hda1: Using r5 hash to sort names machine type: x86_64 switching personality to 134217736... machine type: i686 mount[599]: segfault at 00000000bf800000 rip 00000000b7e79a9c rsp 00000000bf847bd0 error 4 /.build/build: line 218: 599 Segmentation fault mount -n -o remount,rw / mknod: `/dev/hda2': Read-only file system -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian(a)suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] RFC: Green or Gray?
by Stephan Kulow 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi! Factory users of KDE will have noticed: yast is green now. I meant this theming only for installation (it was derived from "Pimp up my installer" mockup) and I still think it's not the best of ideas to have theming everywhere. So I see pros of theming: - people connect yast and installer (when using KDE) - it gives yast an extraordinary look and cons: - it's slightly (on nv driver even dramatically) slower - it does not adapt to the desktop's style and won't ever - it gives yast an extraordinary look Do you see more on either side?

I'm getting the following message: Problem: pattern:non_oss_java-11.0-14.i586 requires java-1_5_0-sun-plugin, but none of the providers can be installed Solution 1: deinstallation of java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.u3-20.i586 Solution 2: do not install pattern:non_oss_java-11.0-14.i586 Is there a reason why the java pattern requires the 1.5.0 version?

[opensuse-factory] State of KDE4 in factory?
by Alex 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Just two small questions concerning the current KDE4 packages from the factory repository: 1. Is kdm4 already used (or usable) as primary display manager? 2. Is it expected behaviour that since a few updates konqueror4 does not render any web page at all? In most cases it only gives "Keine Verbindung zu Rechner www.abcde.com: Unknown error." Or is it worth a bug report? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] YaST/zypp dependancy handling question
by Alex 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

With 11.0alpha1, I tried (for the first time since that infamous SUSE-release with ZMD ;) to use the yast Package management. I'm simply sick of "smart". However, I don't really get how zypp does the dependancy checks: It always seems to pull in way too many other packages for no obvious reasons in every update. Many of this unwanted packages can be uninstalled afterwards with Yast - seemingly without any dependancy problem, so the question is: Why were they forcibly installed in the first place?? E.g. "doc"-Packages: Yast always insists on installing e.g. kdelibs3-doc, PolicyKit-doc, readline-doc and so on. (For PolicyKit-doc, I yesterday even caught Yast installing a *.i586.rpm-package on my 64bit-system without any kind of warning, something I really dislike, because I had some nasty system failures when 32bit (binary) packages were mistakenly installed by the package management system in former times.) Yast also insists on installing a full 32bit KDE3 subsystem on my 64bit system (with all the dozens of other necessary 32bit libs), although no 32bit KDE app at all is installed. OpenOffice: I prefer a lean installation with only some parts of it, but Yast forrces me to do a pretty full install with every update (all templates, additional english language and so on). I could go on with many more examples. My question is: Am I getting something completely wrong here, or is this intended behaviour of Yast? Is this, because certain patternss are active - and if yes, how do I get rid of them? Because, what good is it to have fine-grained packages if the dependancy check pulls everything nevertheless ;) ? BTW: Is there a way of getting rid of the "bundle-language"-meta-Packages to only install the needed rpms? Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Firefox 64bit 32bit question (again)
by Andreas Vetter 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Hello, I know this is a overly and overly discussed topic. But nevertheless ... 11.0 is said to be the base of SLE11. So we need a Java capable browser on x86_64 systems. Here comes why: Remember all those RAID arrays, tape libraries, UPS, ... requiring a Java enabled browser to configure or administrate them. You better don't have them in your normal net, where your workstation is, but in a dedicated private net containing only servers. And no, I don't want to buy an extra machine for that and install a 32bit system on it. So please consider to supply either Firefox or Seamonkey as 32bit packages on a x86_64 installation without the need for manually forcing the packages (and dependencies too) from 64 to 32 bit. I know the standard reason against is "Sun has to give us a 64 bit plugin". But again we need a working Java enabled browser on 64 bit installations. And everybody who ever tried to use opera or konqueror and Java knows what I mean by "working". -- Best regards, 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

There are to many alpha testers because, like for every alpha product, you will need more than just some click-and-try experiance on a system. For your case: if sax2 is broken, then there is always the workaround to fix xorg.conf in an appropriate way. File a bug report against sax2, fix xorg.conf (probably add the broken and fixed one, together with a lot of hwinfo stuff to the report) and happily work ever after. Or just find a Mirror that is synching less often. This might prove difficult, as there already are not to many mirrors that carry factory at all.

Hi, It's alpha week again - that's when Factory is the most broken :) - we still have ~70 build failures - 68 on x86_64 - 76 on ppc - ppc's issue with libqt4 was resolved, so ppc might be in a better shape with alpha2, but we could not yet test it - Installation was reworked even more - alpha2 will be a big test case. I hope to finish a set of screenshots _before_ the news site do :) - there was heavy work on updating GNOME towards 2.20 and KDE4 towards 4.01 - sax2 is still flacky on live images - we hope to get that ironed out before alpha2, so we have live CDs too (that might only fit on DVDs for now though) - the x86_64 CDs of both KDE and GNOME will no longer carry 32bit packages supporting 32bit plugins. It was just no longer possible to support 700MB. - I reworked the patterns (once more) for 11.0, which will have two pretty dramatic consequences: * KDE4 will be the default KDE (with an option to revert that back to KDE3 when it turns out to be just too much pain) * the DVD5 does not have any non-oss software on it - this will allow for a simplified EULA - the non-oss medium will continue to have the old EULA then 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] Initial Grub Video Mode
by Dominique Leuenberger 02 Feb '08

02 Feb '08

Hi, Recently I was installing openSUSE on my mums computer (ok, it was 10.3, but nevertheless I think my post belongs to this list, as I know nothing like this will be changed for a released version but it might happen for a future version). So the situation: Her computer is connected via VGA to a TV (yes, not computer screen). The TV supports a resolution of 640x480@60Hz (it's ugly for all of us.. but she just does not want to find a place for another ugly screen). with this screen, the Grub Boot Menu is not showed but there is only flickering on the screen. By knowing what keypresses are needed, I selected Resolution 640x480 for the installation and the rest went smoothly after. Of course for after the installation I had to give her a textmode grub (timing out in 2 seconds, as she'll never ever use another entry.. they are for me ;) ) At what mode does the GRUB menu actually operate? Is this mode mandatory for some reasons or could we reduce it? The main approach should be to go as low as possible at the beginning and increase with sanity as much as possible later... but not being able to see the first screen to select resolutions or start the installation can be quiet an issue (of course first question was: but windows worked on this computer, why is this happening). Nevertheless: she's a happily converted user... all she ever does is starting firefox, play some nifty flash games and use Thunderbird for mailing and pidgin for IM... so she's perfectly happy (after the installation once passwd).
