[opensuse-factory] About M5 (status distribution)
by Stephan Kulow 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi, We passed the deadline of new package versions without any major harm, the build failures even reduced and the last DVD build I tested did even install flawless. But I'm not so sure it's worth publishing M5 ISOs (beside the automatically published live ISOs). I would rather spend more time on fixing issues that come up with the current version set and then publish M6 ISOs. What do you think? We can of course also update the factory snapshot, so that M4 users will get M5 with zypper dup.

[opensuse-factory] grub bites again
by Sid Boyce 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

On a laptop "zypper dup" late M4 ended up with grub hanging in stage 1.5 on reboot. On a box updated from M4 to M5 today, it hung at installing grub, needing CTRL-C to get out of it, then killing the rpm process and doing "zypper dup" again to complete the upgrade. Standalone rpm -Uvh of grub likewise hangs as does "zypper in -f grub" sitting there at 99% currently. I suspect I shall have to boot from CD and manually fix grub to get that box to boot. I didn't check the version of grub previously installed, but I have 2 other x86_64 boxes at M4 with grub-0.97-160.3 that reboot OK and a x86 box at that level of grub and M5 not yet rebooted. I shall post a bug later. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] glibc-locale & bundle-lang-common
by Vincent Untz 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hola, Just wondering: is there a good reason that we ship all the locale data in glibc-locale on all systems, instead of shipping the files in bundle-lang-common-* (so that people only have what they need)? (I know there are other files in glibc-locale, I'm just talking about /usr/lib/locale and /usr/share/locale) Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Need to add boot message Warning about duplicate fixed IP address on subnet
by David C. Rankin 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

List, Moving machines between subnets yesterday, I was faced with the problem of a box completing the boot process and then hanging just before login was reached. No message, no log entry and no warnings. The only thing shown on the console was miscellaneous smb and normal nmb browse master messages but nothing concerning a duplicate IP. The conflict arose when before moving the box from subnet to subnet the last thing I did before shutting the machine down was to use yast so set the IP of the box to the new subnet. I was certain (I thought) that the assigned IP wasn't used. Several hours later when the box was started on the new subnet, thinking about a possible IP conflict was the last thing on my mind. Nevertheless, the box would not boot. To investigate I booted to repair mode and started shutting down the activation of processes in reverse order of activation to eliminate messages on the console and hopefully find out why the box wouldn't reach login. (shutting down xinetd, smb, ksysguardd, etc..) Nothing provided a glimpse of the error. (There was one obscure smb socket message that hinted at an IP conflict, but I doubt anyone other than samba developers would have clicked to the relationship) Finally, just shooting in the dark, I started yast and started picking through the settings. Somewhat on a whim, I decided to step through the network configuration again. Global, Overview and Routing were fine so I decided to edit the adapter configuration. All settings were fine. Just by chance, instead of clicking "abort" to leave the settings unchanged, I decided to click "finish" and -- Wham! -- yast issued the "Address already taken on network" error message that identified the conflict. Just exactly what yast should have done. Problem solved. In the openSuSE boot process, when the network card is activated, this same check should be performed and a message displayed and logged concerning the conflict. In its current state the boot process proceeds right through network activation without giving any indication of a conflicting IP. (I know, I watched the boot messages for the network probably 10 times during this process). The boot process needs to be smart enough to conduct this check and warn when a conflict occurs. It seems like this would just required taking the few lines of code from the yast2 card configuration check and putting it in the network activation script. Yes, I know this is just a check to protect people from their own stupidity, but that is what good software is supposed to do. I added https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526495 -- David C.

[opensuse-factory] Drop Sun Java 1.5.0 from Factory/11.2
by Michal Vyskocil 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi all, I propose a drop of java-1_5_0-sun from openSUSE Factory/11.2. The EOSL date [1] of 1.5.0 ends on October 30 this year. That means Sun will stop release a public available updates of it (there's some extended support period, but just for those who has a contract with Sun). So we will be able support it just a few months after 11.2 release (and only if Sun will release an update of it) and then Sun will stop deliver public available updates for it. If there's any user who wants/needs it in openSUSE please let me know. I think that we can estabilish something like Java:sun5 OBS project and keep this package here. But I'll not maintain it.

[opensuse-factory] backward/forward binary compatibility checker

Colleagues, I'm software engineer from Institute for System Programing of Russian Academy of Sciences and we are developing a free lightweight tool for checking backward/forward binary compatibility of shared C/C++ libraries in OS Linux. It checks interface signatures and data type definitions in two library versions (headers and shared objects) and searches ABI changes that may lead to incompatibility. We have released 1.1 version of this tool and we'd like you to consider its usefulness for your project.

I'm using this kernel on openSUSE 11.1 too but have a problem, it won't boot until I disable acpi module to be looded at grub menu (acpi=off). The boot log looks like this: [ 10.361694] acer-wmi : Acer Laptop ACPI-WMI Extras [ 10.373790] Kernel Panic - not syncing: stack-protector: kernel stack is corrupted in: 4845ca0e ...bla bla bla [ 10.623049] [cffffe424] 0xffffe424 <- #at this line, kernel booting stopped.

Because it happened similar when I tried to install openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 3-Live CD KDE4 on the same machine (stopped booting with the same error boot log, and could not reach GUI even it booted with acpi=off enabled). Or I should do some more workaround? Btw, I'm new here, and glad to discuss with many experts of my favorite Linux distribution. TIA.

[opensuse-factory] M4 and sound-over-HDMI
by Anders Johansson 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hi, I installed M4 tonight, and intelhdmi finally works - but only as a backend to pulseaudio. I still haven't figured out how to set it up for non-pulse applications. Even YaST won't play the test sound over the HDMI channel, and I can find no setting there to force it. So, two questions: 1) Should I file a bug against yast to include a setting for different output channels such as hdmi, and 2) does anyone know how I can configure alsa to output any sound over hdmi? Thanks Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
