Hi, Milestone2 looks good and I'm just uploading it to the mirrors. After that's done, we'll switch to gcc 4.5 and after that the real fun starts - so I hope everyone who can, helps fixing packages here and there.

[opensuse-factory] M3 Question about kernels
by Donn Washburn 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

Hey Group; For years I have always taken openSuSE basic kernel and compiled it with my CPU. So, a i586 is converted to a i686 and NV.run to work. That seems to often help speed things up and no crashes. Anyway, I simple copy /proc/.config and move it to kernel source .config (after gunzip) - I then run make menuconfig -> save it and then "make, make modules, make modules_install" After it is complete mv System.map and arch/x86/boot/bzImage and mkinitrd plus edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. Reboot and it has always worked correctly before. However, now days it boots up to the part where VGA is selected before any HDs are mounted and locks up/dies What is new to prevent VGA=0x346 to fail. It is openSuSE's kernel 2.6.33-5 with the only change is the CPU and a custom default name (so as not to ruin openSuSE's -5-default -- 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] New Package for factory: sssd
by Ralf Haferkamp 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Hi, I finally found some time to package sssd and am about to create the submit request to factory. sssd (hosted at http://fedorahosted.org/sssd/) stands for "System Security Services Daemon" and it's primary function is to provide access to identity and authentication (it comes with a PAM and NSS module) remote resources through a common framework that can provide caching and offline support to the system. I gave a short introduction to it already in May last year on this list (back then sssd was still a bit premature): http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2009-05/msg00019.html Many things I wrote in that mail are still true AFAIK. One difference is that today sssd comes with it's own providers for ldap and kerberos and doesn't necessarily need to use nss/pam_ldap for that any more. We have currently two feature requests in fate regarding sssd: https://features.opensuse.org/308900 and https://features.opensuse.org/308902 I won't be working on YaST support (Fate#308902), but if anyone feels like doing so, sssd comes with a simple Python API to manage it's own configuration which could be leveraged for that. My current plan is to use "network:ldap" as the devel project for sssd and I have split it into four packages: python-sssd-config: the configuration API sssd: The main daemon, NSS and PAM modules plus the provider plugins for ldap, kerberos and proxying sssd-ipa-provider: The provider plugin for FreeIPA, splitted into a separate package as we currently don't have much use for it. (BTW, is anybody interested in making FreeIPA (freeipa.org) work on openSUSE and OpenLDAP? Please get in contact with me) sssd-tools: Some command line tools to manage sssd local users (sssd offers to maintain local users and groups in it's on databases instead of using /etc/passwd,/etc/groups Comments, feedback and patches are very welcome. regards, Ralf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] New icedtea6-1.7/openjdk-b17
by Michal Vyskocil 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Hi community, yesterday I've updated the java-1_6_0-openjdk to icedtea6-1.7/openjdk-b17. This contain also the alpha version of a new NPRuntime Java plugin for browsers using NPRuntime. That includes xulrunner 1.9.1 based browsers (Firefox 3.5, and probably Seamonkey 2) and Chromium. For xulrunner 1.9.2 based browsers (Firefox 3.6) it is only supported way. In a human speech - if you want to use Firefox 3.6 or Chromium browsers with openjdk plugin, please use openjdk packages from Java:openjdk6:Factory. Factory users can wait on next snapshot, or use this project too. Regards Michal Vyskocil

[opensuse-factory] lsattr and ls -l or l
by Donn Washburn 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hey Group Question! How come some of the files in /usr/include/QtCore are shown as blue and others as white. I know about /etc/DIR_COLOR setting the color by suffix. However, all of these are file or file.h. I thought maybe it was from lsattr but both are show the same. One is blue and the other is black in my example. This is just for information and is not viewed as a problem. -- 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

[opensuse-factory] how to test upstart
by Stephan Kulow 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hi, Factory has upstart now. Not as default, but you can test it in doing: download upstart.rpm from factory repo (zypper doesn't offer "just do it on install) rpm -e --nodeps sysvinit rpm -ivh upstart.rpm reboot I submitted the fix for the broken dependency yesterday, but it's too late to fix for M3.

Hi Listmates, I 'zypper dup' from openSUSE 11.2, and keep having problem like this: Problem: nothing provides ksym(desktop:mod_timer) = 45450063 needed by preload-kmp-desktop-1.1_2.6.32.0_rc5_git3_1-10.4.i586 Solution 1: Following actions will be done: keep obsolete preload-kmp-desktop-1.1_2.6.31.12_0.1-6.9.12.i586 keep obsolete kernel-desktop-2.6.31.12-0.1.1.i586 Solution 2: break preload-kmp-desktop by ignoring some of its dependencies It can still successfully upgrade all packages except those two packages. openSUSE 11.3 M2 failed (kernel panic) to boot tp my Acer Aspire 5620, but succeded when it was M1. So I tried to have M2/M3 from openSUSE 11.2 with 'zypper dup' but has this kernel upgrade problem. --- > cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 3 (i586) VERSION = 11.3 --- How to fix this?

[opensuse-factory] M3 and KDE crash
by Donn Washburn 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hey Group; KDE4 on M3 is crashing without any programs up. Changing to tty6 and watching the kde output has shown a strange character output one time. It was some sort of udf-8 error as I remember from the output consistent with most times - Included is some of the errors captured. -- 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

[opensuse-factory] patches for PulseAudio?
by Werner LEMBERG 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

I wrote this on the PulseAudio list: On openSuSE, I use these packages, mostly from the factory repository: alsa-1.0.22-2.5.i586 pulseaudio-0.9.21-2.4.i586 skype-2.1.0.81-suse111.i586 phonon-4.3.80-4.2.i586 (everything else from KDE is 4.3.95) I experience a big delay (more than a second), especially problematic while using Skype. I've configured KDE to use `PulseAudio' as the output device for everything. And I got this answer: Please ask your distribution to include the patches from the "stable-queue" git branch in PA git. Most other distributions now regularly apply those patches. And so should yours. The Skype issue is fixed there. My question: Does this happen for OpenSuSE too?

[opensuse-factory] Status: Distribution
by Stephan Kulow 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hi, The roadmap says we will release M3 this week. With 194 packages not building (many of them caused by more strict implementation of FORTIFY_SOURCE it seems) I'm not really sure we can make it. Then again I prefer releasing a buggy M3 that allows testing than not releasing any milestone and not having any testing. But I won't release anything that doesn't allow testing - so we'll see. And as usual I welcome any help in getting the build failures / bug count down. You can see the details here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/status?project=openSUSE:Factory (need to login) If someone fixed Mono, we're back to green most likely :) 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] /usr/bin/hostid?
by Ludwig Nussel 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hi, Does anyone know any users of /usr/bin/hostid? We have a custom one in the util-linux package but upstream coreutils contains a different implementation. Ours prints '0xnumber' while upstream only prints 'number'. Also ours allows to set the hostid and the man page refers to /etc/hostid. However, hostid doesn't actually read that file and there also doesn't seem to be an init script for it either. So I wonder whether we could safely switch to the coreutils version. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] /usr/sbin/freeramdisk?
by Ludwig Nussel 01 Mar '10

Hi, Has anyone ever seen any use of /usr/sbin/freeramdisk? AFAICS it's equivalent to "blockdev --flushbufs /dev/ram" so I guess we can just drop it. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
