[opensuse-factory] Bug report 569893
by Thomas Taylor 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

The original bug report I submitted was on usb-kde-Build 289. I have now d/l and burned the latest "openSUSE-11.2-usb-kde.x86_64-2.8.0- Build302.1.raw ". At the initial boot, the red ncurses message displays the error "firstboot_license_novell has failed". Selecting next, the display shows same red box with "firstboot_license has failed". Continuing after that, the boot proceeds until it tries to start X where it fails. The pertinent logs are attached.

[opensuse-factory] Status: distribution

Hi, [resending. after zonker asked me yesterday for update, I wondered if I again sent to the wrong address. If someone knows how to kill "recent addresses" from kmail I'm glad to know, because this tricks me every 2nd time ;(] As almost everyone is back from vacation, I'm targetting a first 11.3 milestone. Since christmas the live cds build again (I had to remove Ooo for size reasons, we will have to play the cleanup game again) and the DVDs will build today for the first time today too, so we can test and fix up - and get a M1 hopefully next week. There are quite some build failures all around and I'm looking for volunteers to help out there. The boosters team (including myself) worked on integrating the old status page into the build service, so you can see the currently failing packages on https://build.opensuse.org/stage/project/status?project=openSUSE:Factory Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Firefox not working
by Donn Washburn 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hey group; How come firefox will not show "About" or "Preferences". And why is that a factory version will fail to work correctly? It seems openSuSE has made it with less than complete version (compare the number of files). It will not see OpenOffice3 for pps downloaded from Thunderbird after written to /tmp/file.pps. Firefox just states it doesn't know how to handle the pps file. OpenOffice3 does. And in the past you could tell Firefox Preferences to do that. Oh by the way Blender 2.49b still fails to come up openSuSE 11.3 -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [RFC] Drop glib/gtk/gnome 1.x stack
by Vincent Untz 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi, For a while, I've been wondering why we still have glib 1.x and gtk 1.x (as well as some other part of the GNOME 1.x stack). So today I looked at this closely, and I think we can work towards removing those packages. Why should we remove those libraries? Well, they're not maintained upstream, and from a security point of view, this can be quite bad. See below for some analysis on which package it impacts, and what needs to be done. Please have a look at the list of packages that would get removed. Note: I've filed this as https://features.opensuse.org/308601 Thanks, Vincent ====================================================================== One package needs to be investigated: psx-plugins. All other packages fall in some category: Packages that need to be updated or changed =========================================== fvwm2-gtk: - this is only a GTK-based alternative for GUI elements in fvwm. Not critical. - remove the dependency from fvwm2 icewm: - simple wm - make it compile without imlib mgp: - tool for presentation - add patch to move to imlib2 (from Debian, and committed upstream) procmeter: - monitoring tool - version 3.5 is based on GTK+ 2.x qiv: - image viewer - version 2.2.2 (http://spiegl.de/qiv/) uses GDK 2.x smilutils: - tool to convert/edit digital video data (used by kino) - ported to GTK+ 2.0 in cvs - other distributions use code from cvs swami: - soundfont editor - uses GTK+ 2.x in svn - will have a release by next May according to mailing list TeX-Guy: - dvi library and utilities - GTK+ 1.x only needed for xgdvi - evince can replace xgdvi usbview: - display topography of USB devices - version 1.1 uses GTK+ 2.x WindowMaker-applets: - various applets for WindowMaker - it looks like E-Notes, wmtimer and wmcliphist are the ones requiring the new libraries - wmcliphist 1.0 uses GTK+ 2.x - wmtimer 2.92 uses GTK+ 2.x - e-notes 0.5 was released in 2001, and there has been no change since then (we have 0.4). Maybe just drop it? wmakerconf: - configuration tool for Window Maker - versions >= 2.11 use GTK+ 2.x xteddy: - some weird app ;-) - version 2.2 uses imlib 2 xzgv: - image viewer - 0.9.x versions use GTK+ 2.x Packages that can be safely removed =================================== ami: - Korean input method - scim deprecates this fnlib: - font rendering for enlightenment - was used by old versions of enlightenment only, as far as I know gau: - Gtk-based Hangul terminal emulator - shouldn't be needed with a recent terminal and a good Korean input method gdk-pixbuf: - library for images - can only be used with GTK+ 1.x (was integrated in GTK+ 2.x) gnome-libs: - GNOME 1.x libraries - can only be used with GTK+ 1.x goom2k4: - visual effects generator for mp3 players - not used by anything anymore, as far as I can tell (code was integrated in gstreamer) imlib: - image loading and rendering library - part of what we want to remove kanji-lookup: - simple kanji lookup application - gucharmap can be used nicolatter: - Japanese input method - scim deprecates this orbit: - GNOME 1.x library - can only be used with GTK+ 1.x Packages that can be removed, but with no replacement ===================================================== Those are all dead upstream. bombermaze: - game (bomberman/dynablaster clone) - similar games are available in the games OBS project (xblast, tomatoes) gbuffy: - mailbox watcher - patch to port to gtk2 available in case someone wants to resurrect the project: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515274 pcpmon: - graphical monitor for Performance Co-Pilot - kmchart is an alternative soundtracker: - sound editor - has been removed from Debian -- 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
