[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 11.2 and maintenance
by Dirk Müller 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi, its time to start thinking about how we want to manage updates to openSUSE 11.2 when it is released. I think it is a good idea to incrementally open up the process of releasing updates to the community so that everybody can submit updates. While talking to various people we came up with the following proposal: - the openSUSE community proposes an update policy - the openSUSE community comes up with a devel project layout for all packages in 11.2 (probably similar to the layout in factory) - maintenance updates are triggered by asking for a SWAMPID in bugzilla like usual - there will be an externally accessible "simple" interface to SWAMP where anyone can submit a patchinfo (this has to be developed). Due to time constraints we can not open up the internal workflow tracking to the outside as no proper ACL support can be implemented in time for 11.2. - package updates can be submitted against openSUSE:11.2:Update - A group of openSUSE people (both community and Novell internal, I suggest 5 people) reviews update submissions if they're in line with the opensuse update policy and coordinates their releases. Unclear how to bootstrap this group. This group is also responsible for handling security updates with coordinated release with care. - To ensure timely release of security updates, each devel group for 11.2 must contain at least one Novell employee. We can think about relaxing this for future openSUSE releases. Comments,opinions, feedback?

[opensuse-factory] 'zypper dup' updating kernel when 'zypper up' does not? (fwd)
by Gerald Pfeifer 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

The following surprised me a bit; is this related to preload-kmp-default or the new kernel-desktop? tomonaga# zypper up ; echo "====" ; zypper -v dup : Nothing to do. ==== : The following packages are going to be upgraded: kernel-default 2.6.30-10.1 -> 2.6.30.2-1.1 kernel-default-base 2.6.30-10.1 -> 2.6.30.2-1.1 kernel-default-extra 2.6.30-10.1 -> 2.6.30.2-1.1 The following packages are going to be downgraded: libgimpprint 4.2.7-67.1 -> 4.2.7-5.1 preload-kmp-default 1.0_2.6.30_10-15.9 -> 1.0_2.6.30.2_1-17.2 3 packages to upgrade, 2 to downgrade. And when I try to remove preload-kmp-default I get: # zypper rm preload-kmp-default Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following NEW packages are going to be installed: kernel-desktop kernel-desktop-base preload-kmp-desktop The following package is going to be REMOVED: preload-kmp-default 3 new packages to install, 1 to remove. At which point I figured I'd better ask here. ;-) Gerald -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer E gp(a)novell.com SUSE Linux Products GmbH Director Product Management F +49(911)74053-483 HRB 16746 (AG Nuremberg) SUSE Linux Enterprise, openSUSE, Appliances GF Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] a11y missing liblouis lib breaks orca start
by Halim Sahin 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Hi, Try please the following: boot the gnome live cd and start python type: >>> import louis Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/louis/__init__.py", line 41, in <module > liblouis = cdll.LoadLibrary("liblouis.so") File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 431, in LoadLibrary return self._dlltype(name) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 353, in __init__ self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode) OSError: liblouis.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory It seems that the python bindings are installed but not the real library which does the translation. In this case orca refuses to start. Another Problem is that the shipped configs for orca are outdated and should be updated.

[opensuse-factory] M6, Netinstall.
by Oddball 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Hi, Some things are strange to me: 1) You have to mark addons, else you get 127pkgs, very many dep problems, and an unbootable system. (i would think there should be a warning about that happening, because there is no preselection on addons, but there is one at autoconfig. Is this intentional, or should i file a bug about that?) When marking the addons checkbox, one enters a page with much too many options, imho, for new users very confusing. I was glad the community sources were available, because i did not have an url handy... 2) The gui doesn't work, so ncurses takes 2th part of installation. 3) Still need sax2 to setup x. I thought since the discussion about that, there would be a working alternative. But i was very glad sax2 was around to setup my monitor :) It took me the whole day to setup a working 11.2 M6. pkgs bundle-lang-gnome-nl and bundle-lang-gnome-en (probably all others also) are badly broken. They keep trying to install, and the only thing to do is ctrl+alt+del to quit and start the install new, after unmarking these 2 pkgs for install during pkg-controle, in the installer At this point, i am very serious, when asking to bring back a 'skip','ignore' and 'retry' button, in the installer, at the point of installing pkgs. Those buttons could be 'hidden' under the 'cancel' button, to complete the dialog there is now: 'abort' and 'continue'. When there are pkgs broken in the repo, there has to be a way to continue the install, without starting all over again. I think everybody would agree on that? This would be for proper use of the netinstaller.. The partitioner works great! Just one click from the imported mountpoints, to change a partition, very nice.. ;) The look and feel of the installer are improved also, and 'back' works now flawless. ifup also works, not talking about wifi here, cause i did not try that yet. I am glad i have a working M6 now.. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

[opensuse-factory] M6 grub gone: workaround?
by Oddball 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi, I updated all pkgs to M6 just now.. But no booting. Not able to install a new bootloader. Old 11.1 install could be booted via the 11.1Final DVD, but 11.2 M6 could not. I remember a thread about that trap, but as i donot have those mails on this os, what to do to get 11.2 M6 booting? -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball, aka M9.

[opensuse-factory] GDM locking
by Jon Cosby 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

The Gnome Display Manager is locking on me. It happens every time I boot into runlevel 5. It displays the login window, but there is no response to the mouse or keyboard. Is this a problem anyone else has been having? Jon Cosby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
