[opensuse-factory] 11.0
by Robert Lewis 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

I just installed 11.0 on my HP laptop. It was fast and clean. Updates went really well. I must have accidentally told it to do an upgrade rather than a fresh install because my and my wife's folders were still present. I had to make a login for her again post install but I just pointed the user manager to the old directory. No complaints. All joy. I will write later about my experience with installing 11.0 on a desktop machine that users an nvidia card. It will be about user complexity in … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] a different NTP hang?
by Felix Miata 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=388980 that got fixed before 11.0 GM. A few minutes ago on a new 11.0 install, but after installing all available updates, I used YaST2 to reconfigure the hostname/DNS section of the wlan0 port. On clicking "finish", I had to wait a long time, probably about 3 minutes, until YaST2 finished. During the wait, I did ps -A and saw: 26072 ? 00:00:00 wpa_supplicant 26109 ? 00:00:00 50-ntp 26119 ? 00:00:00 50-ntp 26120 ? 00:00:00 rcntp 26127 ? 00:00:… [View More]

[opensuse-factory] making kernel rpms
by Peter Czanik 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Hello, Kernel support for a couple of Genesi and Genesi related PPC board is improving all the time (just as all parts of the Linux kernel). We thought, that by providing slightly modified kernels, user experience could be improved. For example, a patch almost doubling HDD performance on the EFIKA appeared right after openSUSE 11.0 was relesed. The proper way of doing this would be providing kernel rpms. The readme in the kernel source package is a bit lacking: "Instead of building binary … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] OpenJDK6 build in factory and error with SSL
by Tyler 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Hi folks, For the most part I've been successfully using the OpenJDK6 and plugin x86_64 builds presently in factory (1.2 build 9-10), with Firefox 64bit, but I've come across an error/bug with respect to use in conjunction with SSL. Specifically: Error: creating socket failed - java.net.SocketException: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing implementation (algorithm: Default, provider: SunJSSE, class: sun.security.ssl.DefaultSSLContextImpl) From a google search, … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Suspend function in openSUSE 10.3 and 11.0
by Peter McPherson 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

I notice that 11.0 RC1 doesn't have a suspend function in the shutdown menu. Hopefully this will appear in the public release version and hopefully it will work on my PC - the suspend function for my 10.3 installation does not work, it starts the process then seems to get lost somewhere and I have to do a hard reset. I also have an installation of Kubuntu 8.04 on the same PC which has the fastest suspend function I have come across - it shuts down in about 5 seconds and resume is pretty … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Czech Packagers Team meeting minutes 2008-06-19
by Ales Nosek 27 Jun '08

Czech Packagers Team meeting minutes 2008-06-19 =============================================== Present: anicka, anosek, jmatejek, lmichnovic, mkudlvasr, mmarek, mvyskocil, nadvornik, prusnak, puzel, sbrabec Minutes: anosek Topics: (1) Scout released (2) Spec file wizard (3) Opera 9.5 (4) RPMs E-shop (1) Scout released ================== The first public version of Scout was released. It is a simple tool which allows user to look for (not yet installed) packages using simple queries. For … [View More]example, which autoconf macros does the package contain, which Java classes are present inside or what binaries does the package provide. Scout packages are available in openSUSE BuildService in home:prusnak:scout project. Look at the introduction[1], installation instructions[2] and demonstration video[3] to get the idea. The next step is to add support for ZYPP repositories (sat-solver files), so user could use query for binaries (even in the BuildService repositories) without installing any index data and to link this feature with bash so it will suggest installing packages automatically when command is not found. This is not going to happen before ZYPP bindings for Python (python-zypp) are fixed[4], unfortunately.

He's discussing some technical difficulties (e.g. how to implement unpacking uploaded tarballs on the API) on the mailing list (3) Opera 9.5 ============= Lmichnovic has done security update of Opera web browser to the latest 9.50 release. Updated packages will be available through online update also for older openSUSE versions. This Opera release fixes in addition to security fixes also non-working flash plug-in and introduces native 64-bit build. (4) RPMs E-shop =============== We discussed an idea of having a web based E-shop which would offer RPM packages. These would have a short description and could be put in various categories. "Customers" would also become a suggestion what other packages users usually download with selected one. The implementation could reuse some opensource e-shop engine. It could be a nice project for Hackweek. Any volunteers?
