[opensuse-factory] 2.6.37-rc2 can't log in properly
by Stephen Shaw 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

I'm not sure if there were some other updates that I finally hit when I rebooted or not. I just upgraded to the 2.6.37-rc2 kernel running on factory and everything seems to boot ok, except I can't log in properly. The prompt on the console comes up and it lets me put my user and password in. It acts like it accepts it (which I think it does), but gives me this error: Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session When I booted to init=/bin/bash I looked at the logs (/var/log/messages/) and found this error: pam_loginuid(login:session):set_loginuid failed Cheers, Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Status: Distribution

Hi, Bernhard's tests say build908 is good enough for Milestone4, so I'm preparing that one now without further delay for release on monday. Suspend is still broken on my laptop, but at least all the other regressions are fixed meanwhile (and KDE 4.6 was supposed to be beta software at this point ;) 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] Build 908 kde_live_CD Problem installing Nvidia drivers to create an nvidia module -- version.h is missing in kernel
by Roman Bysh 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Dear Listmates, I'm unable to install Nvidia drivers on build 908 Factory. This may be due to the fact that the kernel-source doesn't match the kernel-desktop? This is what's installed for kernel. roman@opensuse:~> rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.36-18.1.x86_64 kernel-devel-2.6.36-18.1.noarch kernel-syms-2.6.36-18.1.x86_64 kernel-firmware-20100617-4.2.noarch kernel-desktop-2.6.37-6.1.x86_64 kernel-source-2.6.36-18.1.noarch kernel-default-devel-2.6.36-18.1.x86_64 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.36-18.1.x86_64 Any thoughts. I heard that "coolo" chose build 908 for Sunday/Monday release of 11.4 M4. However, today I took the liberty to try out the Factory kde_live_cd x86_64 download. I tried to install the latest Nvidia drivers. However, I'm getting a message "version.h" is missing. Any thoughts?

[opensuse-factory] Apache
by Donn Washburn 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Why is it Apache works one time and not the next on Firefox or Thunderbird. NOTHING has been done to alter Apache/public-html or /etc/Apache2/files or through Yast2. Hostname/IP# is the same and never changes. /etc/hosts maybe being changed by some NetManager or something. But yet sometimes it works and the next time it fails. openSuSE 11.4 M3 -- 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] Introducing wicked
by Olaf Kirch 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Presenting wicked network configuration ======================================= This is the first public release of wicked, an experimental framework for network configuration. You may ask, don't we have enough of those already? Don't we have NetworkManager, connman, netcf, and a few more? The point I started from was the desire to unify what is usually provided through the traditional ifup script kudzu, with some of the more desktop oriented services provided by facilities like NetworkManager. I also wanted to move towards a more powerful set of functionality written in C, which is able to subsume functionality provided by ifconfig, ip(8), brctl, vconfig, ethtool, etc, and be able to drive these through an extensible XML representation of the network configuration. Kind of the Grand Unified Theory of network configuration :-) Right now, this implementation uses a daemon service and a command line utility. These two communicate securely via a local UNIX socket, allowing the server to validate the client's user id. The server offers a REST interface to various aspects of network configuration. The client application uses REST calls to retrieve interface configuration and status, or to reconfigure interfaces. The path space used by the API can be extended to cover other aspects of network configuration as well, such as reading, writing and restoring the resolv.conf file. After having hacked on this for a while, I want to release this to the community for feedback. If you're interested in finding out more, you will find a README and several manpages in the source code, which is available from http://gitorious.org/wicked Regards, Olaf Kirch <okir(a)suse.de> -- Neo didn't bring down the Matrix.

[opensuse-factory] Proposal for a multimedia team.
by Dave Plater 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hi, we need a multimedia team, I know from watching submit requests that there are at least three other potential members besides me. A little bit more communication between us would be beneficial to the mmaps and mmlibs projects especially multimedia:libs which contains packages that can wreak havoc if broken. ATM when I need help I use the packaging list but sometimes the help is blind to the needs of multimedia ie. jack, it would be nice to be able to discuss these things with more experienced multimedia oriented people. I've cc'ed this to opensuse-multimedia list but I wonder how many people actually subscribe to it?

[opensuse-factory] RFC: syslog-ng 3.2 beta1
by Peter Czanik 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hello, Syslog-ng 3.2 beta1 was released over the weekend. It has many interesting new features: - modularized, so /usr is no more a problem - patternize - automatic pattern generation from logs - correlation - for more info see blogs - SCL - a config library to ease configuration generation For a complete list of changes, see the lead developers blog: http://bazsi.blogs.balabit.com/2010/10/syslog-ng-ose-3-2beta1-released/ The final version of 3.2 will be released before openSUSE 11.4 feature freeze, so I'd like to update syslog-ng to 3.2. Questions / problems: - it is not yet a final version. Can I push it to factory (once some problems are solved), or I need to wait for the final release coming end of November? - for database support, libdbi is needed. Currently it is available only in Contrib. Could it be imported to factory so database support could be enabled? - I get one error and some warning messages regarding libraries. Could someone take a closer look at them and help me out? - AppArmor: there are some new files and directories, which is an easy fix (see below). The problem is SCL, but also affects syslog-ng.conf, if someone wants to call an external application as log source or destination. I got some advice previously, but that did not help, calling external apps still does not work, only when disabling AppArmor completly. For now I don't use the new features from SCL to avoid this problem, but would be nice, if we could demo some easy steps to modify /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.syslog-ng than saying that if one needs to call external apps, then should disable AppArmor... A working but not yet perfect version of syslog-ng 3.2 beta1 is available in the oBS: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=syslog-ng32&project=home%3A… - it has glib fixes for factory (thanks go to cristian.rodriguez(a)opensuse.org) - ssl is enabled - no database support yet (libdbi is in contrib) - system() from SCL is not yet used due to AppArmor troubles - AppArmor needs some manual editing: --- sbin.syslog-ng.orig 2010-07-05 13:21:25.000000000 +0200 +++ sbin.syslog-ng 2010-09-29 10:09:51.001748203 +0200 @@ -36,9 +36,10 @@ /etc/hosts.deny r, /etc/hosts.allow r, /sbin/syslog-ng mr, + /usr/share/syslog-ng/** r, # chrooted applications @{CHROOT_BASE}/var/lib/*/dev/log w, - @{CHROOT_BASE}/var/lib/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.persist rw, + @{CHROOT_BASE}/var/lib/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.persist* rw, @{CHROOT_BASE}/var/log/** w, @{CHROOT_BASE}/var/run/syslog-ng.pid krw, @{CHROOT_BASE}/var/run/syslog-ng.ctl rw, Please give it a try, let me know if you have any problems or fixes (sr :-) )!

[opensuse-factory] systemd integration - sysvinit compatibility?
by Per Jessen 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Having just read Kays posting about system integration, one question that came to mind was: how about sysvinit compatibility for user-written sysvinit scripts - will they continue to work or will we need to rewrite/rework them? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
