[opensuse-factory] Compiz + NVIDIA + 2.6.30 (openSUSE 11.2 milestone 2) VERY slow
by Ben Kevan 16 Jun '09

16 Jun '09

Is anyone experiencing very very slow frame rates when using NVIDIA Driver w/ Compiz on openSUSE 11.2 (Milestone 2, kernel 2.6.30)? It's unusable for me.. I haven't set up any other kernel, but guessing it's a kernel related issue. Maybe I'll install 2.6.29 to verify. Anyone else seeing this? known issue? Bug filed? -- I say never be complete.

[opensuse-factory] kde4 kills rdesktop?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Listmates, I posted to the user list as well. It seems rdesktop will not connect to my xp boxes in kde4. If I login to kde3, rdesktop connect beautifully. What gives? When trying to connect in kde4, you get a momentary "flash" for the bounding rectangle for what would be the session, then rdesktop just quits. This is eerily similar to what happens when connecting with fish in kde4, the connection is established, then it immediately fails. I wonder if somehow the two could be related?? I'm just using the standard: rdesktop -u myuser -g 1280x800 -E -x l ripper.3111skyline.com Has worked great forever, but so far not in kde4. Anyone else seeing this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse-factory] Latest kde4.3Beta2 update breaks Menu Editor "save"
by David C. Rankin 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Listmates, Latest update of kde4.3 (Version 4.2.90 (KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3 Beta2)) "release 139") has a broken menu editor "save". You can open Menu Editor and edit a menu entry as usual, but when you click "save", it goes into an endless loop with the "Updating Configuration" dialog going from 0% -> 100% over-and-over again. The configuration is saved, but the save %completed dialog never exits. I presume this is a kde issue, but if it isn't, let me know. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse-factory] The Future of Factory
by Henne Vogelsang 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hey Hackers, For the future of openSUSE development we want to change some things. Currently, we have some policies around the distribution that date back to the time when there was no openSUSE. Code contributions are only possible if you go through a Novell developer. The same thing is true if you want to make some technical decision. On the other hand it's really easy to pass contributions to the Novell Developers. A simple "osc sr" and you have the change you want in the openSUSE distribution. But we want to go further now and make it as easy as possible for everybody to leave a footprint in, and become responsible for, the openSUSE distribution. To make this transition easy going for everybody we came up with the following plan: We want to split up Factory into smaller parts and join together devel projects of packages into topic projects in the Build Service. So for instance we want to have a GNOME:Factory project with all GNOME and related packages and Kernel:Head project with all the packages that belong to the kernel. To no one's surprise there are already a lot of teams that handle their packages in this way. For instance the GNOME and the Kernel Teams ;-) What we want now is to use this model for every aspect of the distribution, not only the big parts where this comes naturally. All current maintainers are working at the moment on an initial setup for these groups. You can see it evolving live in this svn repo: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/henne-6f900df20eaf3d879d36ea8a00da5012/ This is of course not the only possible way to sort packages and in fact we are only trying to come up with a good starting point. We will always allow moving of packages, creation of new topic groups, or removal of obsolete ones. We also use currently an Novell internal database called the Package Database (PDB). It holds a lot of RPM metadata, for instance the description, the license, URL and so on but also data that does not end up in the specfile like the devel project and things like that. We have started to migrate this data to the OBS and to provide means of changing it. Those are the "technical" changes we are about to do for Factory. The other change we want to introduce is a policy change. As our goal is to make it possible for everybody to work on the distribution we will simply allow the topic groups to organize themselves. We think that there is not the one and only way such a group of maintainers can work together, but it depends on the involved people and also on the topic what the best way is. So to transition we will throw together the people that are currently maintainer of packages and help them work out how to best collaborate with each other and new people. This is what we will do. I also have this summarized in the following Roadmap: 2009.06.03 - 2009.06.15 * Create HOWTO for packagers with the most used osc commands, persons to contact, documentation and so on. -> Portal/Maintainers * Current maintainers sort through the packages in the topic groups 2009.06.10 * have drop submitreq done * have clone submitreq done * have change devel project submitreq done 2009.06.15 * Create missing buildservice projects * Set devel project for the packages in Factory * Turn of PDB syncing for Factory * Start working with the TOPIC groups 2009.06.15 - future * Fix "bugs" in the new way of working (AI: everybody) * finish pdb migration (AI: henne/adrian/jw/rudi) * open up maintenance process (AI: henne/dirk) * open up check in/review process (AI: henne, autobuild team) * open up other teams/tasks/processes that support the distribution (AI: henne) I hope you support us in this ongoing move and bear with us as we change the way we work on this distribution for the last God knows how many years! :) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

I've noticed packages in my home repo have been blocked on everything under the sun since Friday and it seems that ppl (libppl) keeps rebuilding w/o error in logs. Atm there are only 15 packages successfully built w/ 3442 blocked and 1 (ppl) building. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] what happened to oxygen-icon-theme ?

[opensuse-factory] New software version storeBackup
by houghi 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

storeBackup is now at version 3.0 and version 3.1 is on its way very soon. When I look at wat is in Factory, I still see only version 1.19 I have put it on https://features.opensuse.org/306419 but nothing happend. One person has the 2.0 version for Factory, but that is also out of date. I also contacted a maintainer that I found on OBS and he basicaly told be that he did not make the program, so it is not his responsability. (About a year ago when 2.0 came out) What can I do so that the correct version will be included in Factory? There is no need to update the other distro versions as that might cause problems. The reason that the newer versions are not added might be because the website of the project has changed to http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/storebackup I think it is essential to have the correct version in openSUSE. Now it looks as if we are still having Firefox 1.19 in the distro while 3.1 is out. I is just not clear on how to do it and see result. houghi -- Listen do you hear them drawing near in their search for the sinners? Feeding on the power of our fear and the evil within us.

Until the FU that prevents adding a menu folder to the panel is fixed, the best alternative I have found is the quick launch. (which sucks by comparison but is the best bandaid I have found until basic panel functionality is restored). You are severely limited in the number of favorite apps you can reasonably put in it and save panel space, but setting the number of rows to 2 helped. With KDE3, you could simply add your favorite apps to a menu folder and add the folder to the panel (I know you know that, but this is for posterity). That elegant functionality allow you to have a "SINGLE" icon on the panel giving instant access to your favorite apps (with sub-folder capability as well). Example: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/my-dcrTo… Now the "quicklaunch" "widget" is practically limited to 8 entries with NO sub-menu capability. Here is what I have made the quicklaunch app do: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/quicklau… Not even a close comparison, but the rest of the "widgets" in the "Add Widget" list suck for providing any quick launch capability. -- David C.

(Only changes between distros is the font file path informaton) Looking at your xorg, I'm not familiar with the following from the Screen section (shouldn't make any difference, but you never know) Option "RenderAccel" "True" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" The only other issue I see is "Where is your DRI Section? Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for DRI messages. It should be enabled by default, but check to make sure. If it isn't, just add the DRI section above.
