[opensuse-factory] status distribtution
by Stephan Kulow 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi, gcc44 hit the factory repo yesterday afternoon. zypper dup didn't show any errors, which is good. I didn't yet have the chance to see if the system also works flawless, I hope someone else might have news. Otherwise I let you know later today. Unfortunately the NET isos do not work as they are not yet adapted to the new libraries and it will take a while to fix this as currently factory is rebuilding from scratch ;( KDE 4.3b1 is waiting to be taking into O:F, so it should be in Milestone2. I tried the unstable live cds and the desktop doesn't show any obvious problems.

[opensuse-factory] debuginfo per default?
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hello Mates, just a though: With KDE4.3pre we have an better Crashmanager. After an Crash he creates an Crashlog and then you can submit an Bugreport to KDE. My Idea now is, that we can make the depency to the debugsource Package per default. Some Guys, who are using openSUSE maybe don't know that without debugsurce the Crashlog are bad. -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service openSUSE Features Screening Team Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Project-Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill Private-Blog: http://saschasbacktrace.blogspot.com

[opensuse-factory] converting from legacy ide to libata manually
by Felix Miata 21 May '09

21 May '09

I have Factory on several systems. Most still are using the legacy drivers and live on partitions >15. I just did a first zypper dup since November on one of these systems where / is actually on partition 10. The result of zypper dup left the legacy drivers in use, so I tried to "upgrade" myself by substituting ata_piix for piix in /etc/sysconfig/kernel's INITRD_MODULES line, but that leaves the kernel unable to access /dev/root. From the shell after root mount fails, I see via ls /dev that there are absolutely no disk devices, nor disk directory tree. How do I get a good initrd built for libata when the running kernel is on legacy ide? http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/Factory/lsinitrd26296a is lsinitrd on the working 2.6.29 kernel with legacy IDE. http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/Factory/lsinitrd26296b is from my first failed attempt to make the switch to libata. -- "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control."

[opensuse-factory] Factory update broke boot
by John Beranek 20 May '09

20 May '09

I reasonably recently installed openSUSE Factory on a test VM - I believe a little bit before "Milestone 1". The system was running fine, and I decided to update to the latest. Did a 'zypper dup', and then rebooted. However, the system would then not boot. The first obvious error is: mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/mapper`: File exists Following this are: udevd-event[271]: device node '/dev/mapper/control' already exists, link to '/dev/device-mapper' will not overwrite it Boot logging started on /dev/char/../tty1(/dev/console) at Wed May 20 16:39:41 2000 resume device /dev/system/swap not found (ignoring) Waiting for decide /dev/system/root to appear: ...................................Could not find /dev/system/root. So, it's failing to find the LVs...but what can I do to restore booting of this system? I've booted in a live CD, and all the data seems to be there, but can't quite figure what I might be able to do. Considered running mkinitrd or something like that, but can't seem to get into the right environment to run that successfully. Can anyone help?

[opensuse-factory] Cross compiling for mips 32-bit

[opensuse-factory] gcc miscompilation on Factory i586?
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi, I've got a real weird issue by trying to update mozilla-nss for Factory what I can only interpret as compiler issue or very weird coding issue. mozilla-nss is running a comprehensive test suite during build which currently only seems to fail on openSUSE_Factory i586. It apparently works on x86_64, all older distributions and also in Factory_staging. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=mozilla-nss&project=mozilla… In the failing buildlog one can see that it's crashing on a tool called signtool with free() on an invalid pointer. (search for "- FAILED"). When I build locally I also get those cores dumped and looked into two of them which show the following stack: (gdb) bt #0 0xb7be39d6 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0xb7be52d8 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0xb7c1fa25 in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6 #3 0xb7c259c5 in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6 #4 0xb7c2727b in free () from /lib/libc.so.6 #5 0xb7d45ab7 in PR_Free () from /usr/lib/libnspr4.so #6 0xb7d89f41 in PORT_Free_Util (ptr=0x0) at secport.c:152 #7 0x0805b146 in jar_extract_mf (jar=0x8091f90, format=<value optimized out>, fp=0x8092048, ext=0x806a210 "sf") at jarfile.c:737 #8 0x0805b5b2 in jar_extract_manifests (fp=<value optimized out>, format=<value optimized out>, jar=<value optimized out>) at jarfile.c:611 #9 JAR_pass_archive (jar=0x8091f90, format=jarArchZip, filename=0x80795c8 "nojs.jar", url=0x806c5f1 "some-url") at jarfile.c:134 #10 0x08057c32 in VerifyJar (filename=0x80795c8 "nojs.jar") at verify.c:74 #11 0x0804e7fe in main (argc=9, argv=0xbfa54424) at signtool.c:1007 Looking at secport.c:152 I find: void PORT_Free(void *ptr) { if (ptr) { PR_Free(ptr); } } I'm really confused how the above stack can happen at all if ptr=0x0. That's the reason why I'm actually thinking about some weird toolchain thing. That's a _bit_ important to me as I need to update NSS for different reasons and I don't want to disable the testsuite. Any pointers for me on that? Thanks, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] understanding of Required-Start in init scripts
by Dominique Leuenberger 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi, i have a short question, for my understanding of the init scripts. I understand that there are dependencies between them, in order to have parallel launch not messing up. Makes all sense to me. The only thing I do not completely understand is the difference between Required-Start: $network and Required-Start: dbus (the difference that one requires the network and the other one the service dbus is obvious to me. Please don't explain the literal difference of the two lines. My question is more regarding the "$" sign in from of network. It does not match ANY of the Provides line in the scripts; 'network' has Provides: network. And dbus has Provides: dbus. yet, if there must be a difference between the two ways of writing I guess? (I stumbled over it when extending a script to make sure mysql is started before. $mysql did not help it, mysql did. Thanks for enlightening me.

[opensuse-factory] fdisk variations
by jdd 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hello, I'm (re)writing the Partition HOWTO and I notice (http://wiki.tldp.org/Partition-Mass-Storage-Tools-HOWTO#fdisk): ¨There are at least three nearly identical fdisk on Linux, GNU fdisk (http://www.gnu.org/software/fdisk/), based on parted, the kernel fdisk with no home page but a ftp (ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/) and a fork util-linux-ng (http://userweb.kernel.org/~kzak/util-linux-ng/). ¨ I noticed that openSUSE one is the ¨ng¨ flavor. May I ask what did make the choice? Do somebody knows why there are so many fdisk on the beginning? fdisk -v fdisk (util-linux-ng 2.14.1) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
