[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] cupd or yast2 caused my printer problem
by Donn Washburn 08 May '10

Hey Group; My pass tense working printer is failing again. It started as of last nights after a zypper up. Again the problem is a udev not found printer. As a fresh load of M6 it worked. Again it is a Brother 7840W which shows up in one of the rules for udev -- 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] 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] ooo3
by Donn Washburn 08 May '10

08 May '10

oo3 even as recent as today still has a bug. It is openSuSE's version and is still a pain. It came from a zypper dup from days a go and attempted updated today. Still the same problem "oofromtemplate". It has been in M5 and M6. "creation of executable memory area failed: Too many open files". ooo3 comes up and request fixing the file last opened. Fix it and try to save it. ooo3 crashes. -- 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] Default bookmarks and feeds on 11.3
by Javier Llorente 07 May '10

07 May '10

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

Hi, Unfortunately we have some pretty bad dependency issue in the KDE stack, so we had to get in another round. But it should still be possible to have it all done till tomorrow.
