[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 1 and KDE 4.4 RC2 Announcements
by Andi Sugandi 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi Listmates, It's nice to announce to (local) community what is happening of their Linux distribution's development and finally get more contributors to help it. Now I'm just curious why there were no announcements of the openSUSE 11.3 M1[0] and KDE SC 4.4 RC2 on net? Also, i can see the KDE SC 4.4 RC2 packages on KKFD, but no of openSUSE 11.3 M-1 (it still has openSUSE-release-11.3-1.17). Are they delayed for some reasons? [0] http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap [1] http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.4_Release_Schedule#January_20th.2C… Thanks in advance.

[opensuse-factory] 11.3 roadmap
by Stephan Kulow 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi, As I said, I want to start 11.3 development "for real". So I put up http://www.suse.de/~coolo/opensuse_11.3/ [1] and updated the roadmap in the wiki. From my point of view the long beta and RC phase paid out, so I would like to continue with that. Meaning * Thu, Jan 21 openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 1 release * Thu, Feb 11 openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 2 release * Thu, Mar 04, openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 3 release * Thu, Mar 25, openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 4 release * Fri, Apr 09, openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 5 release * Thu, Apr 22, openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 6 release * Fri, May 21, openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7 release * Thu, Jun 17, openSUSE 11.3 RC 1 release * Thu, Jul 01, openSUSE 11.3 RC 2 release * Thu, Jul 08, openSUSE 11.3 Goldmaster * Thu, Jul 15, openSUSE 11.3 Public Release This translates into a feature freeze first week of april (right in time for GNOME 2.30.0) and RC freeze first week of june. The milestones do not come at a fixed rythm because of easter and other holidays that fall into this time period, but there are enough of them to fall back in line if one of them is late. I put the holidays into the timeline, so you can have a look if you want to suggest changes - but if someone mentions KDE and 4.5 together in a reply, I'm going to gently ignore the full email. Updating to patch level releases during the beta phase we consider of course. Greetings, Stephan [1] www.suse.de syncs out every couple of hours, as I'm writing the mail the content is old. If the title talks about 11.2, you'll know. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] LXDE : current status (what is done and missing things i CANNOT fix)
by Andrea Florio 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok people, yeasterday i got finally accepted into Factory the latest 2 LXDE packages, LXDM and xmms2 (and now lxmusic can finally build) yast2 pattern icons has been already pushed into yast svn: [1] and even the new pattern has been submitted for merge into gitorious [2] Jiri Srain, from yast developers told me that before upgrade obs yast2-theme package he want to be sure new pattern is already merged into his package, so i wonder to know who and when is supposed to review such merging request (i'm asking because it's almost time for the first mile stone and i would like to begin testing as soon as i can) just a couple of other things. Can somebody change this feature [3] status? it's no more Unconfirmed.

[opensuse-factory] manual for console modes while KMS=yes
by Felix Miata 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Now that my Factory is using (32 bit) 2.6.32-desktop, apparently using KMS by default, my i845G consoles, after starting in their usual vga=0x305 1024x768 mode, jump into some lowfi mode that is or approximates 640x480. I get same result with i915.modeset=1. No man pages for randr, framebuffer or kms, and man page for kernel does not address kms. Nomodeset on the kernel line makes consoles behave OK, but X cannot find any screens with a usable configuration (no kernel modesetting driver detected). How do I keep whatever benefits I'm supposed to get from KMS and yet initialize tty[1-6] back the way I'm used to, and have them stay that way, or can I? Is KMS broken for older Intel chips? (currently I have X starting @ 1600x1200x16bpp) Note, it seems pae kernel does not yet have KMS. If I boot it instead, vga=0x305 works as before, but X cannot find any screens. With desktop kernel, i915.modeset=0 on kernel line causes same behavior as pae kernel. http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Search?search=kms&go.x=0&go.y=0&go=Go got me only 4 hits, none of which seem to be docs in an expected form, but did point me to Eich's KMS announcement post on this list, where I found we using openSUSE are to use nomodeset instead of nokms like with other distros' KMS kernels. -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

[opensuse-factory] FActory [Gnome and Evolution Issues]
by Marco Calistri 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hi, Latest Factory holds two major issue (on my machine of course!) 1) By setting /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager to "gdm" then the DM stuck on and nothing starts. To solve this, I have to choose "kdm" on both configurations files, then I can login onto Gnome DM. 2) Evolution starts briefly, than crashes, when it asks to input the security password (wallet) Sorry: no time now to file this onto bugzilla, hope somebody could check and do it for me, if really necessary.

[opensuse-factory] PCmanFM and openSUSE-Factory : how to go on?
by Andrea Florio 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 PLEASE add as 'TO' or 'CC' PCMAN mail too. Hi lists, I have a dilemma and i need your help! let me explain the status and then let me ask questions: pcmanfm (0.5.2) is the LXDE file manager, it's fast and lightweight BUT it actually miss trash and gvfs support, in addiction it depends on FAM/GAMIN, and still use hal to mount devices. lxde developers are now developing the NEW pcmanfm (formally called pcmanfm2, but in "about" i read "pcmanfm 0.7"). This new version add lots of features, fix bugs, but most of all "remove" all the "BUTs" pcmanfm 0.5 has. I talked with PCMAN (main pcmanfm developer as you can easly guess) and looking at our Roadmap [1] (i considered M5 or M6 as last option) he sed the new pcmanfm2 should be realeased as stable) i have this question than... should openSUSE 11.3 provides pcmanfm or pcmanfm2? That is what may happen in both cases KEEP pcmanfm: 1st) Because it depends on FAM/GAMIN (and suse provides fam by default), the earlyxdm script MUST add FAM service as Required-Start (or maybe Should-Start, i don't really know where) 2nd) It will be obsolete before 11.3 will be released PROVIDE pcmanfm2 We will provide in our early Milestones releases for testing beta packages of pcmanfm2 and libfm (libfm is a pcmanfm dependency), but here i see ONLY benefits: 1st) we'll help lxde developers providing more testing (and speeding up development) 2nd) we don't need to touch earlyxdm script 3rd) we'll have a better filemanager (with gvfs and trash support and without HAL) 4th) openSUSE 11.3 SHOULD be out with the STABLE version of pcmanfm and if NOT we may use official updates to provide stable version later (has we already did with firefox and thunderbird) 5th) will be much easier maintain and fix bugs. So lists.. what is you idea here??

[opensuse-factory] HAL/DeviceKit in 11.3?
by Will Stephenson 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

When are we planning to remove HAL from the distribution? Apparently other distributions are already working on this for their next releases, and if we are planning the same, I'd like to know about it well in advance so the implications for applications using HAL are clear.
