[opensuse-factory] M5 - post-prompt messages on tty1, & after login
by Felix Miata 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Are these ever supposed to happen? On my 2nd boot after dup from M4 to M5 I was away from the machine when boot completed. When I returned, the login prompt looked thus: hostname login: [210.005007] eth0: no IPv6 routers present WARNING: Number of errors: 0, skipped probes: 361 Is this expected behavior? I logged in on tt2, then executed an alias that mounts some NFS shares, which (abnormally) dumped the following to screen: [ 626.619099] RPC: Registered udp transport module. [ 626.619230] RPC: Registered tcp transport module. [ 626.619346] RPC: Registered tcp NFSv4.1 backchannel transport module.

[opensuse-factory] New factory synced out
by Stephan Kulow 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Hi, Just to let you know: the latest factory tree has synced, so you should be able to test post-M5 now. Hope your testing works better this time ;) The live cds are mostly done too, but somehow the build service does not like to start the last one of them. With almost 100 build failures, it's clearly not time for a beta though, but I'm not sure how to handle it. It would be great if more people would help fixing - as the time for version updates is over, it would be good if you get your hands down fixing. https://build.opensuse.org/stage/project/status?project=openSUSE%3AFactory&… 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] mkinitrd
by Donn Washburn 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

I was downloading a program via "zypper in bootchart" this comes after having to completely reload 11.3 M5. That came from mkinitrd not writing the MBR correctly. Bad news is that zypper script ran mkinitrd. I sure hope it works correctly. It will be no fun to reload 11.3 M5 for the third time on one machine. I removed a bunch of modules to save bandwidth.

[opensuse-factory] [ANNOUNCE] zypper-1.4.2 - rewritten package selection, please report any regressions
by Jano Kupec 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

Hi all, zypper has undergone a major refactoring of its package selection code recently. This was mainly to enable automatic testing and to make it easier and safer to add new features. I'll submit zypper 1.4.2 including this change to Factory soon. It seems to work fine for the most part, but if you spot something that used to work for you in 1.4.1, please let us know via bugzilla. Don't forget to attach both zypper.log and solver test case [1]. The new version already enables use of unified package arguments (in install, update, and remove commands) in the form of: [+/-][repo:][type:]name[.arch][OPevr[.arch]] +/- (or ~|!) ; install/remove modifier repo = ; repo alias, number, or name type = patch|pattern|product ; if not specified 'package' isimplied name ; can even be a glob OP = -|=|>=|<=|>|< ; version operator evr = [epoch:]version[-release] ; edition (version) E.g. $ zypper in packman:xine-ui-0.99.5cvs20091115-0.pm.1.4 (don't forget to quote the args, if they contain ?/*/</> or spaces) More about all this later ... There is still some work to do to fully support this (especially don't try foo.arch :O), but the main focus now is to make sure that all that used to work before works also now. For future plans see [2] and comments at [3]. Don't hesitate to send feedback to or discuss this stuff on zypp-devel(a)opensuse.org.

[opensuse-factory] slow system reaction

Hey Group; What would be causing M5 to be very slow when removing a directory of old files and or coping those files.

[opensuse-factory] Factory off-line upgrade
by Carlos E. R. 18 Apr '10

18 Apr '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, For years I have been doing "off-line" factory upgrades. I explain. Let's assume that factory is in /dev/sda9, and the production system is in /dev/sda7. Instead of booting factory, I boot the production system, which I continue using, and attempt to upgrade the factory partition from the running stable system. I do it that way because it can take 10 hours to run (slow internet), and days if it fails with repeated attempts and half upgraded system. The procedure is this: mount /other/ mount --bind /proc /other/proc mount --bind /sys /other/sys mount --bind /dev /other/dev cat /other/etc/SuSE-release echo echo " Copy paste the next line to activate prompt change:" echo echo "export PS1=$'\\[\E[1m\E[31m\\]Anor_chrooted_on_\\h:\\w # \\[\E(B\E[m\\]'" echo "export PBL_SKIP_BOOT_TEST=1" # http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Failover echo "export ZYPP_ARIA2C=1" echo "cd" echo chroot /other/ /bin/bash --login Once I run that in an xterm, I can run "zypper up", then dup, etc. This I have done for several versions... till 11.3, it does not work. This is what I get: Anor_chrooted_on_minas-tirith:~ # zypper up Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Nothing to do. Anor_chrooted_on_minas-tirith:~ # The file exists, but it doesn't work, not surprisingly. Anor_chrooted_on_minas-tirith:~ # l /var/run/dbus/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 messagebus messagebus 4096 Apr 18 04:38 ./ drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 4096 Apr 18 21:30 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 18 04:38 at_console/ srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 18 03:45 system_bus_socket= I wonder if I should bind that directory to the "host" equivalent directory? Would that work? Is it dangerous? I tried, and it appears to run: Anor_chrooted_on_minas-tirith:~ # zypper up Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Nothing to do. Anor_chrooted_on_minas-tirith:~ # Well, the nothing to do is because M5 has the distribution repos, not the factory repos. I'll change that and report. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
