[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 and yast don't display x86_64 summaries and descriptions.
by Dave Plater 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi, has anybody noticed that zypper and yast software management fail to display descriptions for x86_64 packages in factory or 11.2 repos, zypper displays the description if the package is installed and up to date and yast will display the description if you select i586 version. Noarch, buildservice and any other repositories work. I filed a bug bnc#534677 August 27 and I first noticed the problem around July 19 the bug has been marked as a duplicate of http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537243 .

[opensuse-factory] Packman and oS 11.2
by Basil Chupin 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Does anyone know when - and if - packman will provide the necessary packages for 11.2 to be able to use kaffeine and xine? I cannot live without xine nor kaffeine (for my TV [dvb]) and I cannot fully test 11.2 without having both of these functioning. The files necessary to make these apps. function are normally available from packman and I am truly surprised that with oS 11.2 now at the MS6 stage packman has yet to create the necessary repos to handle oS 11.2. (Strangely enough, when I installed Kubuntu 9.10 the other day and tried to run kaffeine, Kubuntu came back with a message stating that I needed certain files before kaffeine would work, asked me if I wanted those files installed and after I responded with an Yes the files where automagically installed from the 'net. Nice touch that, I thought.) BC -- Great Man reaches complete understanding of the main issues; Petty Man reaches complete understanding of the minute details."

[opensuse-factory] There is no driver for AMD K10 thermal sensors yet
by Juan Erbes 09 Sep '09

I tryed to configure the sensors with "sensors-detect": # sensors-detect revision 5729 (2009-06-02 15:51:29 +0200) # System: BIOSTAR Group TA790GX A3+ This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): y Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No AMD K8 thermal sensors... No AMD K10 thermal sensors... Success! (driver `to-be-written') Intel Core family thermal sensor... No Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No VIA C7 thermal and voltage sensors... No Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): y Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... Yes Found `ITE IT8718F Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0xe80, driver `it87') Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... No Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things. We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI interfaces? (YES/no): y Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/NO): y Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble on some systems. Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): y Using driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:14.0: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 SMBus Module i2c-dev loaded successfully. Next adapter: cx88[0] (i2c-0) Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively): n Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `it87': * ISA bus, address 0xe80 Chip `ITE IT8718F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Driver `to-be-written': * Chip `AMD K10 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9) Note: there is no driver for AMD K10 thermal sensors yet. Check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for updates. Do you want to overwrite /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): y Unloading i2c-dev... OK And with surprise, I got at the end: Note: there is no driver for AMD K10 thermal sensors yet. -- USA LINUX OPENSUSE QUE ES SOFTWARE LIBRE, NO NECESITAS PIRATEAR NADA Y TAMPOCO TE VAS A PREOCUPAR MAS POR LOS VIRUS Y SPYWARES: http://www.opensuse.org/es/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hey Group; I have a Hauppauge (sp) ATSC TV/FM Model 401 tv card with bt878 chips. It is spotted by yast2>Hardware>TV Cards and seems to be setup as normal.

[opensuse-factory] OpenOffice.org/KDE issues
by Javier Llorente 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hello listmates, I am running openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 6 (i586)/KDE 4.3.1 and OpenOffice.org 3.1.1.1 (Build 9319) has no icons. I had to manually install OpenOffice_org- icon-theme-oxygen to get the icons back. Is this a known issue? Also, if you click open or save as, there are checkboxes with no text. Maybe it's because of the text color? I think that it should say read-only (open) and automatic file name extension, save with password and edit filter settings (save). And last but not least, "Sending documents as e-mail attachments" is not configured (it's under Tools->Options->Internet->E-mail). It should have kmail (on KDE) but it's empty. Cheers, Javier

[opensuse-factory] noarch subpackages
by Pavol Rusnak 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hi all! As I posted on the packaging ML[1] the new RPM 4.7.1 in Factory allows us to create a noarch subpackages. We might save significant space on BiArch DVDs and mirrors if we mark all the *-doc, *-devel-doc, *-branding-* and similar subpackages that are arch because of the main package. I don't have even a rough estimate, but I can hack a script that will check the filelists of the subpackages if they could be marked as noarch. What do you think?
