[opensuse-factory] Cronie as default cron in Factory
by Michal Seben 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hi all! Next week I will move cronie[1] package to Factory, so it will replace old cron. If someone is against this step, please just write what's wrong. As I announced earlier, you could find Cronie in Base:System repo [2] there is also prepared wiki about known changes after switch to cronie [3] [1]https://fedorahosted.org/cronie/ [2]https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=cronie&project=Base%3ASys… [3]http://en.opensuse.org/Cron_replace#Differences_between_old_openSUSE.27s_… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] syslog-ng update
by Peter Czanik 11 Dec '10

11 Dec '10

Hello, I prepared updated syslog-ng packages with the close supervision of Marius Tomaschewski, the maintainer of the syslog-ng package. They are available in home:czanik in the openSUSE BS. I would like to see these packages included in Factory, to replace the ancient 2.0 syslog-ng, but MT seems to have disappeared (no response to e-mails in the past two weeks). Questions: - it works fine on my machines, but could anybody else test it? - what is the proper way to get syslog-ng updated in factory, if the maintainer seems to be unavailable? - I have now both 3.0 and 3.1 packages there, called syslog-ng and syslog-ng31. The ultimate goal is to include 3.1. Should I drop the current syslog-ng package and rename syslog-ng31 to syslog-ng?

[opensuse-factory] Is the upgrade from 32 bits to 64 bit supported? Question for devs O:-)
by Carlos E. R. 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm asking here a question not related to factory directly, because I want to reach the devs. You can reply on opensuse list instead if you prefer. To keep it short (longer post in the opensuse list), I'm attempting to upgrade from 11.0 to 11.2 (32 bits) using the retail DVD, wich turns out it has only the x64 version. It offers to upgrade to 64 bit the 32 bit install: The architecture of the system installed in the selected partition is different from the one of this product" [continue] [cancel] I said "continue", then I checked the package list. As far as I could see, it intended to replace all packages with those corresponding to the 64 bits version. If this works, fine... but I was afraid, and I cancelled. Not because risking data (it is a copy), but because of possible waste of time. I thought I'd better RFC. Has anybody done this, an upgrade from 32 to 64 bits? Does it work? Is it "supported"? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-factory] 11.3 M6 live CDs - bootup time comparison
by Lenz Grimmer 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

Hi, granted, it's not a very sophisticated or scientificly relevant observation, but I thought I'd share this with you, since the live CDs are likely the first thing a new user is going to try out before he decides which Linux distribution or desktop environment he'll choose. I measured the times it takes the current 11.3 M6 live systems to boot up in both VirtualBox (virtualbox-ose-3.1.4-106.2.i586) and qemu-kvm (kvm-0.11.0-4.5.2.i586) on my Thinkpad T61 (Intel Core2 Duo T8300(a)2.40GHz, 4GB RAM, running openSUSE 11.2, 32bit). I used the ISO images directly, no CD-ROM drive is involved here. I used a stop watch to measure the time from the point at which GRUB loads the kernel until the desktop is usable and fully loaded. Both virtual machines were configured to use 1GB of RAM. Out of curiosity, I also included the latest Ubuntu 10.04 release for comparison. Can anybody repeat my observation that the GNOME live-CD is much slower than the KDE one? I would have actually expected it the other way around. What also surprised me was the difference between VirtualBox and KVM. Product Time (qemu-kvm) Time (virtualbox) openSUSE-GNOME 11.3M6 0:02:17 0:03:45 openSUSE-KDE 11.3M6 0:01:40 0:02:50 kubuntu 10.04 (KDE) 0:01:35 0:01:59 ubuntu 10.04 (GNOME) 0:01:17 0:01:36 Anyway, I don't know if this is useful or if anybody actually cares about this aspect. From a "first impression" perspective, anything above 2:30 minutes feels like a very long time, especially if there is no visual feedback about what's going on - the GNOME bootup spends a lot of time in displaying a black screen with a busy cursor...

[opensuse-factory] Some rebuild statistics
by Stephan Kulow 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hi, http://www.suse.de/~coolo/factory/ shows some statistics about the rebuildtime of factory. You can see in the graph how many packages can build in parallel and how many are waiting for others to finish. As you can see, half the rebuild time we wait for OpenOffice - but note that this is not really true in practise as the real rebuild time is not dominated by the time OpenOffice builds, but by the time the many packages that _could_ build in parallel are build in the workers we have. So even if we could rebuild all packages with unlimited workers in 24 hours, in reality it takes at least 48 hours (which is the reason we usually only do it friday to sunday). The longest path worries me a lot though, but I have no good idea how to avoid e.g. swig being behind mysql.

[opensuse-factory] Milestone 7, Laptop WLAN, Bug #591703
by Jan Ritzerfeld 01 Jun '10

Hello! I have installed M7 on my T410s and now I am suffering from Bug #591703. I used YaST to swicth to NM and installed the firmware for WLAN (Intel 6300). When I boot with wired ethernet, everything seems to work fine: NM connects to my wired and wireless networks. However, when I boot without the wired ethernet connected, NM does not show any of the configured wireless connections and cannot connect when I try to set up the wireless connection again. Additionally, netconfig seems to conflict with NM, in /v/l/m I find: | linux dns-resolver: ATTENTION: You have modified /etc/resolv.conf. Leaving | it untouched... | linux dns-resolver: You can find my version in /etc/resolv.conf.netconfig Is there any way to fix the network setup until RC1 is released?

[opensuse-factory] mdds package in devel:libraries:c_c++
by Kohei Yoshida 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hi there, I would like to request an addition of mdds library to the devel:libraries:c_c++ project. Mdds stands for Multi-Dimensional Data Structure, and is a collection of C++ templates that provide optimized storage and lookup of multi-dimensional data. I am the author and maintainer of this library, and I am willing to maintain this package for SUSE. I have already packaged this library, which is now sitting in my personal home project. I would like that moved into a more generic project, such as devel:libraries:c_c++. Here is where it is packaged right now: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=mdds&project=home% 3Akohei_yoshida The project home page is here: http://code.google.com/p/multidimalgorithm/ As this is my first attempt to have my package included in the SUSE distribution, any advice or hand-holding of how to get it in would be much appreciated.

[opensuse-factory] samba-client on livecd
by Vincent Untz 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi, I'm not familiar enough with samba to know; but is there any reason we have samba-client installed on the livecd? In GNOME, for example, I'd expect that people would use nautilus (which will use libsmbclient), and not the command line tools. The reason I'm asking is that it's really big... Samba itself is relatively big too. Arguably, at least /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/samba-client should be available for easy configuration of the firewall, though.

[opensuse-factory] Strange routing issue on milestone 7
by Richard (MQ) 31 May '10

31 May '10

I have installed 11.3 m7 (upgrades and fresh installs) on several machines with few major issues - it looks really good. However I had a strange problem on Friday at work with my Asus netbook: I installed m7 from a DVD image on my desktop, booting the Asus from the network CD and with the wired network connected to the office LAN & so to the desktop and ftp server with DVD image. All worked fine, but no wireless service available. So I brought the machine home, and used it on my wireless network here - where the connection behaved really strangely. Investigation with 'route -n' showed the gateway (gw) pointing to the work LAN - no longer connected, and not reachable from home. There was at least one further routing entry also using the work LAN. I fixed it by manually adding correct gateway, but unfortunately I did so without making notes or saving files, so it's hard to put on a bug report. I will try again next time I'm at my desk - this time making notes and saving logs - but that will be a few days (public holiday today here and I'm also off tomorrow). I can see nothing obvious on bugzilla, has anyone else experienced anything similar? -- cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] printer problems again Brother MFC7840W

Guess What? My Brothers MFC7840W printer is not printing after reinstalling Brothers drivers cups driver and correcting the udev problem. This all worked in openSuSE 11.3 M6 It is now printing a test page after running yast2>hardware>printers test page. It did find the printer correctly but the test page appears as it left hand margin is about 1/3 off the way across the page. Numbers on the test page show 1 - 16 and starts over with 17- 20 Example (left margin start - 17,18,19,20,1,2,3 and so on cups-1.4.3-3.1.i586 < openSuSE 11.3 M7 cupswrapperMFC7840W-2.0.2-1.i386 < Brothers driver for cups brmfc7840wlpr-2.0.2-1.i386 < Brothers MFC7840W driver foomatic-filters-4.0.1-5.2.i586 < openSuSE 11.3 M7 -- 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] Yast2 lan and ProductFeatures
by Stefan Quandt 30 May '10

30 May '10

Hi group, a few weeks ago I made a fresh install of MS5. Wired LAN worked out of the box, but I could not configure WLAN since the yast module just cannot be started (any other module is ok). It (/var/log/YaST2/y2log) turned out that /etc/Yast2/ProductFeatures was missing from day one (day of install) and my wild guess is that this could be the cause. This file is not part of any rpm, thus it gets created. But how? There is the very old related (fixed) Bug 212506, but it says nothing about where the ProductFeatures file comes from. How may I trigger its recreation? Regards Stefan -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Draft Milestone 7 Release
by Andreas Jaeger 30 May '10

30 May '10

Hi, michl and myself are currently working on the M7 release. Below is a copy & paste of the current text. I'm off for lunch now and wanted to get your feedback. Please send your comments on opensuse-marketing or join michl and myself on freenode IRC channel #opensuse-marketing. Andreas openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7: Preparing for RC Phase Milestone 7, a snapshot of the Factory “work in progress” build, leading up to openSUSE 11.3 release in July, is now available for download. M7 is the second release of the “Stablizing Freeze” and last milestone, the next release will be RC1 on June 17th. openSUSE 11.3 Progress Compared to M6, this milestone brings many bug fixes, an update to Linux kernel 2.6.34 and the integration of translations and new artwork. We plan to include in openSUSE 11.3 the following highlights: * Netbook support with both Moblin and KDE * Btrfs support in the installer * The zypper package management command line client has seen further improvements: o If a package gets removed, dependencies needed only by this package can get removed as well (option –clean-deps) o Package selection code has been enhanced to support the following syntax for use with in/up/rm commands: [+/-]repo:type:nameOPversion.arch o zypper will notify about updates with vendor change (from different repository) * Nouveau driver for Nvidia graphic cards is integrated * File sharing with SpiderOak * Great desktop experience with GNOME 2.30, KDE 4.4, LXDE 0.5.5, and XFCE 4.6.1. LXDE has been newly integrated and is part of the DVD media. * On demand package installation in KDE, for e.g. debug info packages and missing modules. * Imagewriter tool to copy ISO images to an USB stick * Updated distribution with new upstream packages Testing! Testing! Testing! As this is a milestone and not a final release, 11.3 M7 does contain bugs both known and unknown, but should not stand between courageous contributors and release testing. The following annoyances have already been reported: * Firefox crashes at start Bug #608087 – workaround: update gtk2 to the new version from the GNOME factory repo * The x86_64 NET Install CD had a garbled screen for an NVidia GeForce Go 7150M graphics adapter. The workaround is to add “brokenmodules=nouveau” to the Boot Options line. * LXDM always start default session Bug #607868 Please see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.3_dev#openSUSE_11.3_Miles… for the current list.

[opensuse-factory] 11.3 M7 - screen blanking?
by C 30 May '10

30 May '10

I'm running 11.3 M7 (KDE4) on an ASUS EEE 1005, and it's working quite well. I've bumped into a few of the known bugs.... so no big/new issues. Overall, it's working very well.. better than 11.2 on the same machine (eg WiFi, sleep, suspend, display resolution etc. all work perfectly right from the initial install... no tweaking necessary) But... I'm having a small problem with the screen blanking. I've set all power management to off, no screen saver etc etc. Exactly 10 minutes after the last keyboard/mouse activity, the display is blanked. Is this a known bug? Is there some setting somewhere that's being missed or ignored?

[opensuse-factory] Run download and install in parallel feature status
by Rastislav Krupanský 29 May '10

29 May '10

Hi all. I want to ask what´s the status of the most wanted feature #120340: Run download and install in parallel? Afaik, Milestone7 should be features freeze(sorry, if i´m wrong and correct me), but software management still uses traditional behaviour. Can we expect this feature will be added, or won´t? Or parallel download at least? If there is no plan to use it, could you change default behaviour to "DownloadInAdvance" in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf? Thanks a lot. -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Lenovo T410s (11.2 black screen in runlevel 3, 5)
by Martin A. Brown 29 May '10

29 May '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello there, I hope I'm in the right place. I am interested in running the 11.3 Mileston 6 release later in the week, when it becomes available. I have a Lenovo T410s. I have the output of 'hwinfo', which I will happily share. I'm not sending it here, since somebody may want it in a particular place or may not want it at all. I tried installing 11.2, which installs beautifully, but fails on boot, whether I boot to runlevel 3 or 5. The 11.3 Milestone 5 installation failed utterly. I'm looking for advice: - I'm prepared to wait until later in the week, banking on Milestone 6. - Would the 'hwinfo' output be of use to anybody in particular? - Is this a well known issue? - -Martin - -- Martin A.
