[opensuse-factory] MAJOR::no system logs
by Patrick Shanahan 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Since yesterday I have no more system logs :^( Perhaps because of the switch from syslog-ng to rsyslog? Yesterday is the first time in five days that I have gone lower than runlevel 3, I went to "init 1" and back to "init 5". Factory 11.2 x86_64 klogd-1.4.1-721.3 sysstat-9.0.4-6.13 rsyslog-2.0.4-2.46 syslog-ng-2.0.9-31.2.x86_64 packages from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Base:/System/openSUSE_Factory/ both show "running" restarted both I am getting mail logs but not to /var/log/mail, rather /var/log/maillog # grep maillog locate syslog |grep conf /etc/rsyslog.conf:mail.* -/var/log/maillog # ps aux | grep log /sbin/rsyslogd -c 4 -f /etc/rsyslog.conf but rsyslog.conf \= syslog-ng.conf faux pas ??? Is it necessary to edit rsyslog.conf to get my logs and do I need to learn the new syntax or is there going to be an equilivant rsyslog.conf provided? My syslog-ng.conf has not changed for over a year and I do not recall ever making personal changes to it other than perhaps yast.

[opensuse-factory] Improving the Release Notes
by Karl Eichwalder 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

1/ I'd like to collect ideas how we could improve the openSUSE release notes. Traditionally, we use these 4 categories for sorting the release notes entries: * Installation: * General: * Update: * Technical: In the context of https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557412 I'd like to propose: . New Features and Essential Changes . Issues During New Installation . Issues During Upgrading the System . Miscellaneous Technical Details 2/ The yast ncurses ui will no longer display the .rtf files, but .txt files. You should create these files using "w3m --dump". The advantage would be that you can use advanced formatting features such as tables in the graphical YaST. I'll probably use the default DocBook style sheets to produce the files for the graphical YaST. Ideally, you could also add relevant info here: http://en.opensuse.org/Release_Notes -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Misconfiguration of kernel 2.6.32-XXX
by Larry Finger 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

For users of Broadcom wireless devices, one of the attractions of the 2.6.32 kernel is native support of the BCM4312, which has an LP PHY. Unfortunately, this feature is not turned on in the kernels found in the repos. In the wireless subforum, the following was reported: =================== 'dmesg | grep b43' outputs b43-pci-bridge 0000:0b:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 b43-pci-bridge 0000:0b:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15) b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 6, Type 5, Revision 1) b43: probe of ssb0:0 failed with error -95 I just noticed the kernel I booted into begins debug-- opensuse 11.2 2.6.32-rc7-21 dont know exactly what the debug means or if it matters or even if its the correct kernel =================== To whomever that is responsible for these configurations, please add the following to the configuration: CONFIG_B43_PHY_LP=y Thanks, Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Broken
by Donn Washburn 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

things that are broken in RC2 latest DVD and zupper dup First off - It was required to completely reload from a good DVD 11.2 RC2 due to a power outage. The result was that "/" partition was not clean. It was a ext4 partition. I used the DVD Repair option. What I found was that the ext4 module was not installed and therefore the Repair Partition failed when it got to the ext4 partition. I suspect and lsmod confirmed that the ext4 module was not available So on this very fresh reload, before anything was done I did a zypper dup and it found around 1000 changes. OK! now I call up Yast2 and it fails due to not finding libperl****.so Yast2t was fixed by using zypper up -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] RC1 Trouble with OpenOffice
by Karl Sinn 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hi, I'm still on RC1 and I just used OpenOffice for the first time and I was actually unable to do what I needed to do which was a very easy task. I'm not sure it's a problem of openSuse, but I'm going to report here concerning the usability of 11.2 I simply wanted to put extra lines on a few pages. The document came to me in *.docx format, and as far as I can see, it opened and displays correctly. After adding two empty lines I saved: 1) as docx. Here the page header was not saved. 2) as doc. Here the graphics were lost and the chapter numbers were not formated. 3) as pdf. The graphics were lost To be more helpful, I tried to reproduce the bugs with a new document. I created a new document, activated the page header, tried to insert an image. I can not see my png images in the file dialog... I have to explicitely click on png images to see them. With the show all option it doesn't work. I checked for other image formats and I can't actually see any of the images on my computer with "show all formats". JPEG can't be seen at all even while selecting the jpeg filter. While selecting a png file I received the error "unknown format". I just put a few words in the page header, and a numbered list in the body, I saved it as odt, closed it, tried to reopen it :-) OpenOffice doesn't even see his own files, but here I can see the jpg and png files :-). To open it I wrote down the filename myself. It openend as it should. I cut and pasted an image from another document, because with insert->image- >from file, I couldn't and tried to save as: 1) odt fine 2) docx fine 3) doc 2000 chapter numbers dissapeared image was not imported correctly 4) pdf image didn't show up properly Are these known issues? Are they resolved in the latest version?

Details are in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551667 Sure trying to sanatize a record late at night and making mistakes with a , instead of a . would make entry invalid but correcting them and see it does not work would have solve my not serious problem.

It does not work because SSH is disabled.

See the attached menu.lst. I don't have earlier versions of oS installed on HDs so cannot check but I seem to recall the the pae kernel was also installed by at least one other earlier version of oS. I also remember "fiddling" with a copy of the kernel in 11.1 to compile my own which had the (?some of the) qualities now in the desktop kernel eg,the Timer Frequency set to 1000Hz. Am I wrong or isn't it the situation that if the kernel is compiled with parameters selected but which, in fact, are not available in the CPU then the kernel still does its job and uses those which ARE available? That is, it doesn't have a hernia, throw up its hands and runs off screaming into the distance :-) .

[opensuse-factory] What to do to remove outdated code from factory?
by houghi 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

I will not be naming the program, because otherwise it will be called 'insane noise ratio' so this is just about the process and to undestrand if I did everything right and if there is anything else I can do to help. What happend is that there is a program that is on version 1.X and that is (still) hosted on site A. However the maintainer has moved on and now version 3.x is available on site Y. My idea is that it would be better to either remove the package from openSUSE or better, see that correct version is added for all future versions. So what have I done? 1) I mailed who I thought was the maintainer at openSUSE. I was apparently wrong 2) Filed a feature request 3) Filed a bugreport. 4) Made a package from it on OSB 5) Talked to developers directly and asked what to do 6) Tried to bring awareness in diffeent ways 7) Tried not to presure too much in the hope that it would get into 11.2 The result is that basically nothing has happend. The 1.x version is still up there instead of the 3.x version. So what must be done _in general_ to get stuff into factory so it will be added in the next version and especially if it is about outdated things we notice. Did I do something wrong? Did I miss a step? Did I do too much? Again, this is not about that specific program, that is just an example. I just want to know if there are things I need to do different or that perhaps my expectations should be much lower then what they are. houghi -- Dr. Walter Gibbs: Won't that be grand?

[opensuse-factory] Lots of old packages breaks zypper dup of factory
by Mark Gray 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

It may only be the mirrors of factory that download.opensuse.org is sending me to, but there are a bunch of old packages there which zypper dup would like to downgrade to which causes some real nasty conflicts when dup'ing from a 11.2 installation. Am I the only one seeing this problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Policies for 3rd Party Software?
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hello Mates, i've tried to install AdobeAIR through the original *.bin File. After chmod +x i can execute the File. Then the Window comes who i must agree the Terms. After agreeing the install Process begins. Then the install is broken.The Program means, that the admin has disallowed the installation. So my Question is, have we new Policies in openSUSE? In 11.1 Air runs perfectly. -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Member openSUSE Ambassador openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com ClaimID: http://claimid.com/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Enabling SELINUX failed
by Marco Calistri 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hello Listmates, I attempted to enable selinux on my 11.2 Rc1 but it fails with the error: no selinuxfs found. I followed the "how-to" as per en.opensuse.selinux but it seems something is lacking from my understanding, or perhaps from current kernel. Suggestions are welcomed. Cheers, -- Marco Calistri <amdturion> If it happens once, it's a bug. If it happens twice, it's a feature.

[opensuse-factory] Status: distribution
by Stephan Kulow 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, 11.2 is gold, factory is reenabled and published. I published already distribution/11.2/repo and it's on a tons of mirror already, so you should be able to do zypper up to get from RC2 to GM. We also created repomd data, so I hope the software portal has 11.2 data soon.
