[opensuse-factory] kpartx -d / activate_device_mapper -d
by Felix Miata 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

During 11.1 devel via https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397816 I setup device mapper on one system in order to access all actual partitions while using ata_piix driver. Now on that system I have a 2.6.29 kernel, so no longer need dm_linear. So far, I've had no luck reversing the process. Neither subject command seems to produce any impact. I ran both kpartx -d /dev/sda and activate_device_mapper -d /dev/sda before running mkinitrd, and still the resulting initrd features dm_linear and kpartx. /etc/udev/rules.d/dm_linear.rules did get a fresh write, while /etc/udev/rules.d/70-kpartx.rules did not. I blacklisted dm_linear & kpartx in /etc/modprobe.conf.local too, but that didn't help either. Short of a fresh install, how do I eliminate them, and go back to mounting directly to /dev/sda* devices instead of /dev/dm-* devices? -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up."

[opensuse-factory] device node creation
by jdd 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

I found a bug on factory, at least with virtualbox https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=482302 in summary, /dev/sdb is not created by fdisk nor YaST I can create it by hand (mknode /dev/sdb b 8 17), but this don't survive a reboot what is the config to fix (by hand)? I don't know what creates /devs at boot thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] High Power Consumption during sleep with Kernel 2.6.29-rc6
by Raymond Wooninck 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi, I believe that I detected a regression in the newest kernel 2.6.29 regarding Power Consumption during Sleep (S3 state). As I reported before I had problems with resuming after sleep with the kernels before 2.6.29-rc6, so I didn't use Sleep anymore. Now that the resume issue is resolved, I started to use Sleep again and I noticed that my battery (full loaded before Sleep) was drained in maybe something like 5 or 6 hours. As I have a IBM Thinkpad with the famous Radeon chip, I validated if the radeonfb module was loaded and if the workaround was enabled. This was the case, so the question is where this power drain is coming from. I have now tested the kernel 2.6.27.13 and 2.6.29-rc6 with the same installation. This means that I am just rebooting to use the other kernel. What I have detected is that the 2.6.27.13 kernel behaves normally and with a normal low power consumption during sleep. I am using the famous sleep test script from www.thinkwiki.org This test script gives the following output : Kernel-2.6.29-rc6 Sun Mar 1 20:57:44 CET 2009 before: 33380 mWh after: 31700 mWh diff: -1680 mWh seconds: 2056 sec result: -2941 mW Your model seems to be affected. Kernel-2.6.27.13 Tue Mar 3 21:04:34 CET 2009 before: 31170 mWh after: 30990 mWh diff: -180 mWh seconds: 1342 sec result: -482 mW Congratulations, your model seems NOT to be affected. I will create a bug for this issue and there I will attach the corresponding dmesg and pm-suspend.log's for both kernels. But I just wanted to know if other Factory users are seeing the same behaviour.

[opensuse-factory] factory update
by Stephan Kulow 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi, We got a new Xorg into factory, which caused quite some rebuilds before it was working and we now have bash 4.0, which causes even more rebuilds. So it will take a while for a new snapshot to arrive. Not too unlikely it will be saturday by then.

[opensuse-factory] ZYpp switch to aria2c as default
by Duncan Mac-Vicar P. 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

I have submited libzypp 6.1.0 to Factory. Which makes aria2c the default transfer backend for http/ftp. Read about what this means and some new features here: http://duncan.mac-vicar.com/blog/archives/507 I wanted to test a little more, but Factory still has 5.11.0 which is even older than 11.1 updates I think. So be sure to read the post and learn about ZYPP_ARIA2C=0 in case something breaks or you are hit by any regression (may be open issues with proxy, ipv6) ;-) Have fun!

[opensuse-factory] Openoffice 3.0.0.16 for x86_64
by Markus Koßmann 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Why are OpenOffice_org-3.0.0.16-1 x86_64 rpm and OpenOffice_org-icon-themes- prebuilt-3.0.0.16 x86_64 rpm missing on download.opensuse.org for over a day now ? That creates nasty dependency problems which make it impossibe to update factory x86_64, except you accept an arch change to i586 for OpenOffice. All other OpenOffice x86_64 rpms are at 3.0.0.16 since early yesterday morning. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

How could i obtain dmseg? I´m trying to switch at the error console via Alt-F3/F4, but i don´t know what next. Check media finished without any errors.

[opensuse-factory] Disable PulseAudio by default
by Alberto Passalacqua 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hello, PulseAudio has been one of the major sources of complaints and of problems for both the 11.0 and 11.1 release, with significant annoyances for openSUSE users, as reported on IRC and on local forums. As a consequence it is worth to consider the possibility to disable it by default on freshly installed systems for openSUSE 11.2. I opened an enhancement request to collect votes and motivations here https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478511 Please, keep the entry on bugzilla as clean as possible. All the discussion should be done here on the ML. To vote, please, don't simply add a "+1", but use the blue button to cast your votes (up to five per each user) in bugzilla. Thanks.
