[opensuse-factory] [rfc] Updating gwenhywfar/aqbanking
by Vincent Untz 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hey, A while ago, Dominique worked on updating gwenhywfar and aqbanking to new upstream versions. It was blocked for a while because it required an update to a development version of gnucash, and it also required a new libchipcard. I think we're now ready to do this. So, unless someone shouts loud, in the very next few days we will: + push gwenhywfar 4.0.x, aqbanking 5.0.x, gnucash 2.3.x (rc of 2.4) to Factory + drop libchipcard 4, since it probably won't work with gwenhywfar 4 (libchipcard 5 is already in factory, but waiting for gwenhywfar 4) As far as I can tell, this won't break anything in Factory, so I plan to do that before the week-end, so we can hopefully get this in the next milestone. 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] ballooning /
by Felix Miata 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

On a Piii system with last dup @ M1 ~6 weeks ago, I did zypper dup to M4, then dup to current Factory. When I started, / freespace was @ 88% (1 installed kernel). It's now at 99% (4837465 1k blocks, available 84783, 23 installed kernels), even after zypper clean and emptying /tmp. What, besides kernel files, is gobbling all that space? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] virtualbox 4.0.0 BETA1
by Michal Šebeň 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi all! I already push virtualbox-ose 4.0.0 BETA 1 to Virtualization repo : https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=virtualbox-ose&project=Virt… sr is always welcome :) see 4.0.0 BETA1 announcement : http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=36748 a lot of new features e.g. usb 1.1. support is now open source ... but I think, for our suse vbox package is a key feature "extension pack architecture" which means "No more OSE vs PUEL just VirtualBox (100% OSS) + optional PUEL extension pack", this means : in http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.0_BETA1/ you could find only OSE versions of rpm packages which should be the same like virtualbox-ose packages prepared in our buildservice (with one exception we don't use dkms - we prepare kernel modules directly in buildservice ) I see here duplicity work, what do you think ? bye -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Updating spideroak to latest stable version
by Atri 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi! There are several improvements in the stable branch (version 9713) of SpiderOak since version 9681 (presently in openSUSE:Factory:NonFree). There are listed in their release notes online [1]. If there is nobody else looking at this upgrade, I am willing to do it today. Is this okay (since it is non-free and I don't know if there is a version freeze already in effect for this)? Thanks, and bye -- Atri [1] https://spideroak.com/release_notes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] temporary segfault with zypper & yast
by phanisvara das 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

a strange thing happened today: trying to update all newer packages via YAST, the software manager, after solving all dependency problems, started to download for a second, then exited w/o error. "zypper up" brought up a new agreement form for an oS 11.4 licence, then segfaulted. no help in zypper.log or y2log, but /var/log/messages had this to say: ----------- Dec 9 11:29:12 phani kernel: [ 3610.153426] zypper[17239] general protection ip:7f953c30ca6f sp:7fff67f49d50 error:0 in libcurl.so.4.2.0[7f953c2e2000+5a000] ----------- i re-tried several times, after successfully running "zypper ref -f" and "rpmdb --rebuilddb", with the same result: segfault. finally i thought there might be something wrong with one of the factory repos, so i disabled OSS & non-OSS, after which both zypper up & yast updated their new packages w/o problem. next thing i enabled OSS and then non-OSS again, and no further error happened. updates from OSS included rpm and rpm-python, but since there have not been any changes to the rpm system prior to the error, i don't think that's relevant. in any case, things are working ok for me again; i'm just wondering what did happen, and if it happened to other factory users as well? for now i'm assuming it was a temporary glitch while the repos were being updated. -- phani. system info: ----------- Processor (CPU): Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz Speed: 3,600.00 MHz Cores: 2 Total memory (RAM): 3.1 GiB Free memory: 22.1 MiB (+ 1.7 GiB Caches) Free swap: 8.5 GiB OS: Linux 2.6.37-rc4-13-desktop x86_64 Current user: phani@phani System: openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 4 of 6 (x86_64) (updated from /factory/repo) KDE: 4.5.80 (4.6 Beta1) Vendor: nVidia Corporation Model: GeForce 9400 GT 2D driver: nvidia 3D driver: NVIDIA 260.19.26 ----------- repos: ----------- phani:/home/phani # zypper lr -d # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service ---+----------------------------+----------------------------+---------+---------+----------+--------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------- 1 | KDE-extra | KDE-extra | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_Factory/ | 2 | Kernel-HEAD | Kernel-HEAD | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/ | 3 | XOrg | XOrg | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_Factory/ | 4 | dev-lang-python | dev-lang-python | No | No | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/openSUSE… | 5 | factory-OSS | factory-OSS | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ | 6 | factory-SRC-OSS | factory-SRC-OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/src-oss/ | 7 | factory-SRC-non-OSS | factory-SRC-non-OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/src-non-oss/ | 8 | factory-debug | factory-debug | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/debug/ | 9 | factory-non-OSS | factory-non-OSS | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/non-oss/ | 10 | factory-tested_OSS | factory-tested_OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/oss | 11 | factory-tested_SRC | factory-tested_SRC | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/source | 12 | factory-tested_SRC-non-OSS | factory-tested_SRC-non-OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/source-non-oss | 13 | factory-tested_debug | factory-tested_debug | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/debug | 14 | factory-tested_non-OSS | factory-tested_non-OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/non-oss | 15 | games | games | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_Factory/ | 16 | google-chrome | google-chrome | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 | 17 | mozilla-beta | mozilla-beta | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla:/beta/SUSE_Factory/ | 18 | openSUSE_Factory | education | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/openSUSE_Factory/ | 19 | packman-DE | packman-DE | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://mirror.geht-schon.de/packman.links2linux.de/suse/factory/ | 20 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-11.4-Non-Oss | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/non-oss/ | 21 | repo-oss | openSUSE-11.4-Oss | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/ | 22 | repo-update | openSUSE-11.4-Update | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.4/ | 23 | skype | skype | No | No | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Lord_LT/openSUSE_Factory/ | 24 | video-lan | video-lan | Yes | Yes | 110 | rpm-md | http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/Factory/ | 25 | window_managers | window managers | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/windowmanagers/openSUSE_Fact… | 26 | xfce | xfce | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce/openSUSE_Factory/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Adding Horde related packages to openSUSE Factory
by Ralf Lang 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi, I am about to submitrequest the Horde Groupware and Webmail applications from server:php:applications to openSUSE Factory. Because this is the first time I do this, I want to discuss any objections beforehand. Horde is a set of PHP applications for collaboration and messaging as well as a framework for web application development. It has been around Suse and openSUSE for quite some time, but a one point lost active packagers. The Horde Project is one of the oldest and largest free PHP applications and has a considerable userbase around the world. Used by universities and government agencies, horde has also been included into the Kolab Groupware as its web client and into cpanel as a webmail solution. The current packages are based on horde 3.3.x which is a mature and well- tested production version which will be in upstream maintainance for the scheduled lifetime of openSUSE 11.4. Having developed applications based on horde myself, I recently picked up the horde rpms in server:php:applications, added a few new modules and updated the existing ones. I am interested in keeping the packages current and bugfixed for the forseeable future. Please let me know if I should not SR these packages tomorrow. -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi . This is by the way of an feature request . I as many other do have a laptop that has wired and wireless networking as standard but sometimes i need to use a Mobile broadband dongal USB what is needed is an easy way to completely stop the wired and wireless networking to use the mobile system , The reason for this is that if wireless is disconnected but enabled then you can not get a route via the mobile connection you have to completely disable the wireless to use the mobile and easy way to do this is a much needed addition a means of picking which networking device is active .
