Maybe you could create such a feature request on kernel's > bugzilla? That depends. Opinions on this change about every week. During even weeks, the "kernel driver makes the device useful" approach is chosen. During odd weeks, the "we need userspace crap like usb_modeswitch to make the device useful" approach is chosen. I learned that when I tried to make a device useful for all users (a USB WLAN stick) half a year ago and I finally gave up on the issue. Packaging a udev rule that does "eject" automatically would be a simple solution for Andi. -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"

[opensuse-factory] xpdf regressions
by Werner LEMBERG 10 May '10

10 May '10

[xpdf-poppler 3.02-9.4] Within the last weeks it seems that updates to openSuSE factory have severely degraded the performance of xpdf on my Dell laptop (which comes with an i945 graphics chip, BTW). I no longer can scroll smoothly. It takes almost a second until a single ArrowUp or ArrowDown key gets processed. On the other hand, neither acroread nor evince (the latter uses the poppler library too) show such effects; the problem is obviously limited to xpdf. I suspect an unfortunate side effect of the combination of various libraries used by xpdf, or the interaction of xpdf with the X server itself. Do others experience similar problems? Petr Gajdos, the openSuSE maintainer of xpdf, can't reproduce it. Additionally, I would like to know how I can find out more to help in fixing the issue.

[opensuse-factory] ZTE MF626 on openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 6
by Andi Sugandi 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi Listmates, I'm using ZTE MF626 (USB-3G Modem) to have Internet connection through (at least) option, and usbserial modules. I can see those features are enabled on openSUSE 11.3 M6: > grep USB_SERIAL= /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m > grep USB_SERIAL_OPTION /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION=m Unfortunately openSUSE 11.3 M6 could not "switch" it to be as an usb-3G modem automatically (but M5, which is never investigated) because there is no usb_modeswitch package in factory repositories at this time. Should I file a bug? This is the log (var/log/messages) of oS-11.3 M6 when the device was plugged: May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.703090] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.830102] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=19d2, idProduct=2000 May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.830112] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=1, SerialNumber=0 May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.830120] usb 1-1: Product: ZTE CDMA Technologies MSM May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.830126] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: ZTE,Incorporated May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.953993] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

[opensuse-factory] nouveau Gallium3D drivers for testing?
by Robert Kaiser 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi, Adventurous as I am, I would love to do try and test if and how well 3D effects or even 3D rendering works with nouveau, and I wondered if there would be some of those highly experimental Gallium3D driver packages around for Factory. The xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau-3d packages that are around in Factory and X11:Drivers:Video are ancient (i.e. at least more than a year old), I guess they are probably candidates for removing. home:jobermayr has a Mesa-nouveau3d but as always with things in home: space, I'm somewhat unsure if that's personal tinkering or something that's supposed to be useful and maintained. What's the recommended way for doing such testing? Is there any?

[opensuse-factory] SSD discard support? hdparm's wiper.sh?
by Greg Freemyer 10 May '10

10 May '10

All, Let me know where the below should be posted if not the factory list. It relates to how 11.3 will handle SSD discards. === There is currently a fairly large thread on the Ext4 mailing list that I've been participating in. The basic conclusion is that for SSD based drives that can benefit from discards, there are two existing approaches. One is in the current kernels and it involves invoking discard any time data blocks are freed up. Thus it can mean large number of discards per second. This code was written and accepted into the kernel prior to any hardware to really test it with. Apparently now that vendors are shipping SSDs that support discard, that methodology is proving to be a loser and SSD performance is lower if it is enabled, instead of higher which is the entire goal of the discards. I haven't seen benchmarks yet for this with high-end SCSI array backends. If they too are bad, the existing logic is very likely to be tossed from the kernel. Not sure what will replace it in the kernel, if anything. Alternatively, hdparm was enhanced a year or so ago to have several discard related functionalities. That functionality is already in 11.2 and factory, so there's no issue there. But hdparm is only providing base functionality and it needs a script to actually invoke it correctly and cause the appropriate sectors to be discarded. Fortunately Mark Lord (the hdparm maintainer) is now also including "wiper.sh" with hdparm that will scan a filesystem (ext4 and xfs for sure and possibly others) and invoke discard in a very efficient way. I don't think 11.2 or factory are including that script, but I'd like to see it go in as the opensuse 11.3 methodology for calling discard on a SSD. That will mean including the script, testing it as part of opensuse, and getting it in the nightly cron scripts or something. How does a decision like that get made, etc. Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Keeping nouveau installed like nv and support the installation of Nvidia proprietary drivers
by Roman Bysh 08 May '10

08 May '10

In the near future, will we be able to keep 'nouveau' installed as we did with 'nv'. And, be able to install the drivers provided by Nvidia but without the errors during their installation? And, change the switch2nv script to be switch 2 nouveau? Right now, we have an extra step to install the Nvidia drivers in Milestone 6, including the removal of 'nouveau'. Is this doable? -- Cheers!

[opensuse-factory] Default bookmarks and feeds on 11.3

Hello list mates, Perhaps it's a good time to review the bookmarks and feed sources shipped by default on 11.3. I suggest having Konqueror and Firefox shipping the same bookmarks by default except for Firefox's related bookmarks. So we would have the following common bookmarks: <openSUSE folder> openSUSE Project openSUSE News openSUSE Forums openSUSE Documentation openSUSE Download openSUSE Online Software Repositories How to Participate in openSUSE (btw, in m6 it says "particate" on Konqui) Planet SUSE (planet.opensuse.org) openSUSE Product Page open-slx openSUSE News KDE Planet (Konqueror only) For Akregator I suggest shipping the following feeds: <openSUSE folder> Planet SUSE (planet.opensuse.org) openSUSE News SUSE Security Announcements <KDE folder> KDE Dot News Planet KDE KDE Apps KDE Look Comments and suggestions are welcome! Greetings, -- Javier Llorente

Ever since updating to >= 3.0 Firefox, I get some variation of the following: rcc@Athelon:~> firefox returned PAC proxy string: direct *** nss-shared-helper: Shared database disabled (set NSS_USE_SHARED_DB to enable). ** (firefox:10537): WARNING **: AT-SPI: Accessibility bus not found - Using session bus. /usr/bin/firefox: line 128: 10537 Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@" rcc@Athelon:~> Of course, this is from a command line, From the 'kicker', I just get the 'bouncing ball" with no error message, after 30 seconds, it just disappears with no firefox, no message, no nothing. To restore Firefox, I have to reinstall, 2.5.9 or earlier, then, it works again. Installing any version later than that results in failure to start. This is with 11.3 factory. uname -a Linux Athelon 2.6.34-rc5-6-default #1 SMP 2010-04-22 21:18:20 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Updated 6 May Processor is an AMD 64 running 32bit Dual core mode 2 2G memory, LVM AND RAID 5 (4 drive x 1Tb) + 3 1Tb drives in the / and /home LVM. This all worked in 11.2 and 11.3 M4 and earlier until Firefox was updated beyond 2.5.9. Reverting Firefox causes the segfault to disappear, reinstalling the 3.+ (latest) restores the segfault. Now the squirrel...I have a virtually identical machine int the other room with similar hardware and also running factory, that works! ... but NFS won't run on it!!! The MBd is MSI but the CPU is an AMD...the MBD on this one is an ASUS. I have another one (ASUS) that I haven't upgraded yet...production machine, but another ASUS running 11.2 with no problems. So, far, I'm not sure whether it is the kernel interacting with Firefox or Firefox itself. Any Ideas?

[opensuse-factory] don't start with 512Mo ram
by jdd 07 May '10

07 May '10

Just a note to say my m6 install on virtualbox installs perfectly with 512Mo ram, but don't boot with this few ram! With 760Mo it boots perfectly I don't have time now to investigate more, I just quote this because it's very unusual. Most of the time the maximum problem come at install time Notice you a warned at install time that less than 1Gb ram is too lttle :-), so one can't see this like a bug jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-support-the-Linux-Documentation-Project/372… http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-fan-page-of-Claire-Dodin/106485119372062?… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

M4 bare was OK, but shortly after, *something* zonked it. I don't know if it was an update to Firefox itself or to the kernel. It first started by some of the websites (mostly weather underground) where some of the icons they use wouldn't display, then other things, then finally, entire pages, then firefox itself wouldn't launch...then I went back to 2.5.9 and all was well again. I still don't have a handle on just exactly *what* the problem is because on the other machine, also running M6+, it seems to work. The only real difference between these machines is this is an ASUS and the other is MSI motherboard, both use NVIDIA chipsets for video, have 2-3G ram, use at least 1-4Tb raid5 Plus LVM. Both have problems with rsylogd, one has problems with NFS, the other doesn't, one has problems with Firefox, the other doesn't (not both the same) both are AMD dual core running 32bit versions of M6 but the problem started while still running 11.2 in one case and persisted after an upgrade while the other is a "clean install of M6". There is no consistant pattern I can see except that M6 is the most cranky version of SuSe that I have EVER tried to make run. 10.3, 11.1, 11.2 have all been cranky at times but all have eventually been quite stable overall, but so far, except for M4, this has been a nightmare. With too many fundemental changes under the hood all at once, Xorg, Sax2, Firefox, uDev, PackageKit, ext4 , KDE4, Gnome3 or whatever, and dammed knows whatall else major changes to fundemental "stuff". This isn't even close to SuSE ELEVEN *anything* anymore, it is SuSE TWELVE dot ZERO PRE ALPHA, which is fine, but call it what it is, for goodness sake. Anyway, back to 2.5.9 again...I can't even get to Firefox to check the bug 600222 to see if I do or do not agree the bug is the same or similar <grin>.

[opensuse-factory] that RWX. problem

Thanks to all that suggested a way to fix every directory and file RWXRWXRWX"." dot ( this whole openSuSE 11.3 M6 system ). I saw no suggests! So I beat it. It took some of my 15+ years playing with UNIX and beat problems. But now, /home/donn/file or directory is clear of the "." dot. -- 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] installing opensuse 11.3 64 bit as a virtual box
by Shalom Kazaz 05 May '10

05 May '10

I'm trying to install 11.3 as a virtual box (sun vbox ose) running under 11.2 64 bit, my machine is lenovo T61 64 bit. I'm setting the iso image as the cdrom. when first starting up i get a popup message: "VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot. Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V properly in the BIOS of your host computer." with the options to quit or continue. if I choose continue the boot splash come on with the various boot options but immediately i get a message: "This is a 32-bit computer. you can not use 64-bit software on it." I've installed many virtual boxes in the past so I know what I'm doing. any ideas? -- Shalom www.tikalk.co -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Filesystem corruption in M6
by Jogchum Reitsma 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hi, I think I met a serious file system corruption in M6. I was triggered by the fact that an ftp session, after transferring some GB's, failed with a message that it could not open a new file for writing. Plenty of space, and access rights were OK, so I took a look at /var/log/messages, and saw a few lines EXT4-fs error (device md1): ext4_mb_generate_buddy: EXT4-fs: group 228: 1263 blocks in bitmap, 1266 in gd Googling I found that this may or may not lead to file system corruption, and I decided to reboot. fsck detected the file system to be not clean, and found lots and lots of multiple block claims. I was thrown at a root login prompt to do a manual fsck. Again lots of errors, and after I had fsck repair them, found after booting up that for example prefs.js in the thunderbird environment was totally corrupt. The ext4 file system resides on a raid-5 device consisting of four disk partitions, and was created with opensuse 11.2. Backups helped me out, so nothing was lost here in the end, but this doesn't enhance my trust in 11.3M6... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
