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] Disk transaction performance - Phoronix benchmarking
by Rastislav Krupanský 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Hi all. Phoronix has run distribution comparison [1]. I´m just wondering why disk transaction performance has Ubuntu 10.04 faster than openSUSE 11.3 RC1, when both distros uses an ext4 file system. Does openSUSE have enabled any barriers again, as was in openSUSE 11.1? http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_2010_fiveway&num=1 Thanks. -- 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] (K)Networkmanager dead after resume
by Markus Koßmann 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

I'am running 11.3RC1 on an Acer Aspire one D250 and I 'am using Knetworkmanager to setup my UMTS connection. This works fine in most cases but in about one of four times the KNetworkmanager applet shows "Netwerkverwaltung deaktiviert" ( translated : networkmanagement disabled) after a suspend to disk - resume cycle. After a reboot it works again as expected. Where should I start to debug that ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] RFT: upgrade from 11.2 to M7 via wagon
by Greg Freemyer 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

All, in addition to "zypper dup", "yast2 wagon" is a supported dist upgrade path. (Or it was for 11.1 to 11.2) I don't have a 11.2 machine I want to move to factory right now, so I tried to upgrade a test machine from M3 to M7 via "yast2 wagon" and it segfaulted half way thru. (wagon is a gui tool to handle "yast2 dup") see http://en.opensuse.org/Wagon https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613820 The wagon version from 11.3 M3 first upgraded itself to M7 and then started the actual distribution upgrade. I don't know if the version in 11.2 does that or not. Since Wagon is a supported upgrade tool, it really needs to work before the general release, but I don't have a good way to test it. I marked the bug major, but if it also occurs with 11.2, I think it should be critical. And if it doesn't then likely it is just a normal bug for 11.3 at this point. Note: I'm not the author. I was just testing. Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

I AM using a desktop PC. After this, you run Yast --> Network Devices --> Network Settings to manually enable "User Controlled with NetworkManager". You then select the Hostname/DNS tab, and type in the "Hostname" field opensuse When I log out and restart my system, it should switch to opensuse. It DOES NOT in openSUSE 11.3 RC1. However, in openSUSE 11.0, 11.1 and 11.2 I CAN RENAME the hostname. Any thoughts? => Rename the hostname is fine in my laptop, and I still a little confuse what's the relation that the hostname setting with 'Hardware ID'?

[opensuse-factory] KDE SC 4.4.5

30 Jun '10

KDE SC 4.4.5 has been released today. It's the last update for 4.4 series. We ship KDE SC 4.4.4 with oS 11.3 and it can't be updated now due to features/version freeze (done some time ago). And I'm fine with it. I hope other are fine too ;) But... Will KDE SC 4.4.5 go to update repository for 11.3? Similar story has a place for 11.2 and we got KDE 4.3.5 (the final update for 4.3 series). The main target was update for SLE and thanks to that oS got this updates too. But now, what about 11.3? -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik, openSUSE Community Member

[opensuse-factory] KDE touchpad configuration lets me use only one finger
by Michael Schmuker 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

I can't enable two-finger scrolling in the touchpad dialogue in systemsettings. In the panel "Touchpad-Informationen" (german localization), it displays that my touchpad recognized only one finger. I can't change that value. But my touchpad can do more and two-finger scrolling works perfectly when I enable it via synclient or xinput. So probably this problem is due to insufficient detection of hardware? I'm on a Lenovo Thinkpad T410s. Anyone else having this problem?

Hello Listmates, In previous versions of openSUSE (by default), enabling the NetworkManager switched from "hardware id" to "Host Name". Hardware ID: CPE0xxxxxxxx-CM000xxxxx Host Name: opensuse In openSUSE RC1 it no longer works. It still uses the "hardware id" !! Can we please fix this now? Cheers!

[opensuse-factory] ssh / VisualHostKey display
by Marcus Meissner 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Hi, as users of SSH probably noticed we enabled VisualHostKey display for ssh remote logins. This is a "visual help" if you login to a remote host where you have no known hostkey yet. An internal discussion showed some annoyance, and questioned this features usefulness. (Basically it is not really needed if you have a known_host key entry already, which in 99% of usage probably is there). So I am currently considering disabling the feature by default again.

[opensuse-factory] Kerneloops with kernel head repo and 11.2 system

Hello, I'm running an 11.2 system with the kernel from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.2/ The kernel oopses very early in the boot process. The problem has been there for 2-3 weeks (sorry for being that imprecise and late, but I've been very busy for the last weeks). There was a problem with HEAD a few months ago that looked similar and IIRC was some interaction between kernel and boot process in initrd. Is that problem back?

[opensuse-factory] Problem with yast2-nfs-client in 11.3 RC1

24 Jun '10

I found a problem in 11.3 M7 in which the YaST NFS Client modules did not create the host directory or the necessary fstab entry for an NFS mount (Bug 608166). A patch was prepared and tested that updated the package version from 2.19.2 to 2.19.3 as is shown in https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=yast2-nfs-client&project=Y…. When I check the version installed with 11.3 RC1, it still is 2.19.2 and the bug is still present. Why? What does it take to get the new version pushed into Factory? According to OBS, the build was successful. Thanks, Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] late package version update
by Will Stephenson 24 Jun '10

24 Jun '10

Choqok 0.6.6 as currently part of 11.3 is going to break when Twitter removes HTTP BASIC auth on August 30*. Support for the new OAuth auth system is being worked on but is currently only taking shape in Choqok SVN, and uses a new external libqoauth. Choqok's network layer has changed significantly between 0.6.6 and the 1.0 beta code currently in SVN, making a backport likely a lot of work. Is it better to include the new libqoauth package and update 11.3 to the ("quite stable" - choqok author) 1.0beta1 code now, and online update when the oauth support is working, or leave as is and add libqoauth and choqok 1.0beta1 via online update? Released versions including Choqok (11.2 and newer) will need updates as well.

[opensuse-factory] yast2 printer gets confused by " in the description string
by Michael Schmuker 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Dear Factory, today I came across a problem I had already with 11.2, and which is still there in Factory. When configuring a printer and afterwards setting a description string which contains ", Yast2 fails to re-read the printer configuration. The problem is that the " is not quoted in the configuration files and causes the parser to give up. I guess either a check for problematic characters in /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/autodetect_print_queues or directly in the gui would fix the problem. I reported bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616687 in this regard.

[opensuse-factory] Intel 945G - Firefox showing rendering websites as garbled [bug 602727]

23 Jun '10

Hi! I have reported this bug [https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602727 ] with M6 and it is still very visible with RC1 as well. It relates to firefox not displaying the website http://www.cricinfo.com [and probably others] cleanly, but showing a very garbled screen. I am beginning to believe this is an X related problem as I do not see such garbling on my ATI chipset machine. It only happens on the machine with the Intel 945G chipset. If someone who knows about this let me know how I can make the bug report more useful, I would be happy to do do, but at the moment it looks to be a really very visible and irritating problem.

[opensuse-factory] Missing login sound for the GNOME desktop

Hi! The login sound for the Gnome desktop that is enabled at "Startup Applications" [gnome-control-centre] executes this command:- /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login" However there is no file with this id, and executing this command on the terminal simply gives Failed to play sound: File or data not found The correct command, that plays a login sound correctly, should be /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="login" --description="GNOME Login" If the intention is to disable the login sound for Gnome [which is quite alright I think], this should be done by disabling this auto-startup command instead of having a wrong id for canberra-gtk-play.

[opensuse-factory] What is wrong with wifi on eee-pc 11.2/11.3?
by Oddball 22 Jun '10

On both, wired work with ifup, on 11.3 also NM works. On both no networkwith wifi, what is wrong..? The interface is clear, and on 11.2 scanning results in finding dhcp network, in 11.3 scanning does nothing at all... Is it in planning to have wifi for eee-pc with 11.2/11.3 or not?

Still, broken touchpad drivers should be the minority of cases for which kcm_touchpad or synaptiks can be used to turn the feature off simply.

[opensuse-factory] Tracker set to index removeable media
by Atri Bhattacharya 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi! I see that the tracker configuration is set to index removeable media by default. However this creates a problem when a connected USB-drive has lots of files, and you connect it for a short while and try 'safely removing' it. Tracker keeps indexing data from this drive, and prevents its unmounting until it is done, which in all fairness can take quite long. It might be better to turn indexing removeable media off by default in the tracker settings for 11.3, just as it is for Optical devices at present. -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] GDM screen in case of no users
by Sankar P 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi, I downloaded factory images sometime last week and ran into an issue. I usually work as a non-root user. But this time I was testing factory in a VM and so did not create any new user and decided to play with the root user. However, once the machine is installed, the GDM screen just shows a small unclickable white line and there is no "Other" click-area, which I can click and login as root. Of course I was able to goto control-alt-f2, create a new user and solve. But I believe this is a minor bug in GDM. Is this worth reporting ?

[opensuse-factory] touchpad weirdness after update
by Stefan Quandt 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi, after an update from 11.2 to 11.3 M7 moving the cursor with the touchpad only.works if when using more then one finger. (also tap-to-click was initially disabled and I cannot get double-click enabled at all) While playing around I found out that the touchpad works normally in kdm and for unknown reason switches to "two-finger-mode" during KDE startup. Then I had to learn, that when logging in as any other user moving the cursor with the touchpad works normally. So the I concluded the cause could be the user specific toucpad config file. So i moved .kde4/share/config/synaptiksrc out of the way. But ... this did not change anything. Any idea what's going wrong here?

[opensuse-factory] Window focusing in GNOME
by Atri Bhattacharya 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi! I noticed this while using YaST to set up my printer on 11.3-RC1 today, but it seems to be there in 11.2 too. No matter if I minimise the window any number of times, it would restore itself and become the focused window every time it wanted to alert me about something or every time it completed doing something. For example, have YaST pkg manager install something, and minimise it. When the installation is done and pkg manager switches to running SuSEconfig, it jumps back to focus. Really irritating if one is working on something and this keeps happening. I am not sure this is only with YaST apps though I do not see something like this happening in KDE. The metacity settings in gconf-editor are set thus: focus_mode:click, and auto_focus:off. Is there something that can be done to fix this. This is really a bug, and so I can report it to bugzilla if so required.

[opensuse-factory] systemtap anyone?
by Stefan Quandt 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Dear group, I cannot get simple systemtap scripts running. I have 11.3 RC1 with the default kernel running. and the packages kernel-default-debuginfo and kernel-default-devel packages installed. If I run stap on a probe as simple as probe vfs.read { printf("read performed\n"); exit() } it fails on pass 2 with WARNING: cannot find module kernel debuginfo: No DWARF information found semantic error: no match while resolving probe point kernel.function("vfs_read") Of course the kernel has a vfs_read() and I can get its address with grep vfs_read /proc/kallsyms even if the kernel-default-debuginfo package is not installed. Does that mean that the 11.3 kernel debug info package is inconsistent? Is there anyone running systemtap on 11.3? Does openSuse any testing on the systemtap package? Am I just too stupid? I hope the latter is the case and someone could give me some direction.

[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] Unbranded splashy theme for 11.3 RC1?
by Atri Bhattacharya 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hi! I think the splashy theme for openSUSE 11.3 has missed out being branded along the openSUSE 11.3 theme concept yet. This theme is used while hibernating the computer and I notice at the moment either a black screen or a rotated Tux on a white background which I guess is some kind of upstream default. Could someone confirm this? I am confused because in case it has not been themed, it should show the 11.2 theme instead of the current abnormalities, right? -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

First off - thing seem to work like they did in the passed. That good. However, the new KDE4 screen that is the default is to cluttered with lime green circles on the left side to a dark color on the right side.

[opensuse-factory] x86-64 dvd refuses to boot, 32bit version boots from dvd, refuses to boot after install without acpi=off HP Pavilion DV7-2230sa
by Stuart Tanner 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

I have tried Installing opensuse 11.3 m7 on HP Pavilion DV7-2230sa. Broadcom Wireless / ATi Radeon Graphics / Intel Board First I tried the x86-64bit DVD - I am greeted with a preboot menu asking me which hardprofile it should emulate two identical versions are presented, option 0 takes me to the standard dvd boot menu, option 1 freezes the system. So from Option 0 - Installation - Language and locale: English UK, Installation Source CDROM, Resolution 1024*768. System starts to boot but freezes at the point Starting UDEV. Repeated reboots always freeze at the same point. So for the 32bit DVD. Directly into the boot menu with no emulation required, Installation with English UK Language and Locale, Installation Source CDROM and Resolution 1024*768 as before. Installation progresses perfectly all packages and features installed - system prepares for first boot. System freezes at Detecting Hardware, Configuring Drivers. The only way i can get the live system to boot is to use acpi=off. I had much the same issue with opensuse 11.2 and should have reported a bug six months ago but didn't. Apologies. to make things more confusing the laptop worked first time with ubuntu 09.10. what are the boot options for the 32bit DVD installation grub menu entry? How do they compare with the same boot options in the 64bit dvd? and During installation, what options are placed into the live grub boot menu and how does this compare with the menu options on 32bit dvd?

[opensuse-factory] changing langage dl lot of packages
by jdd 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hello, I don't find any bugzilla entry on this subject, so I wonder if it's a bug or a feature :-(. This seems to be the same for 11.2 and 11.3 (at least very last lxde live cd, with 11.3 on the start) It's mostly the case with live cd's. live cd's don't have all langages. Specifically for my case, no french except the install part itself. When selecting french from the start (boot screen), one end up with french in YaST config, but no french package, and specially no french keyboard. 1) when going to YaST/system/langage, French is selected and there is no way to select "french keyboard" (choices are greyed). One have to select first any other (english us, for example), install then back to french Main point for this post: 2) After any language change, YaST download and install *a lot* of packages!! looks like it reinstall all the distro. Takes ages on low end computer. Is this normal? thanks 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

[opensuse-factory] Promiscuous wallet access by knetworkmanager
by Michael Schmuker 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hi opensuse-factory, Is there someone else except me noticing that knetworkmanager wants to access kwallet more often than necessary? It keeps asking me for my wallet password every time I reconnect to a wifi network, even when the key should be cached. Even worse, it queries the wallet password when connecting to unencrypted networks, i.e. when no key is stored at all. Oddly enough, I noticed that these obsolete requests to access kwallet occur at the time when the connection has just been established, and not when the connection is initiated. I submitted bug 612771 already a few days ago.

[opensuse-factory] where do xrandr commands to be run at X/KDM/KDE startup belong?
by Felix Miata 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution if I was using *buntu they could go in ~/.xprofile or /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup. M7 has no latter, and apparently doesn't bother with any existing ~/.xprofile, which I linked to a script that works when run from Konsole. According to http://forums.opensuse.org/get-help-here/laptop/417815-run-xrandr-automatic… such commands belong in /etc/init.d/boot.local. That makes no sense to me, but I tried it anyway. That too fails.

[opensuse-factory] Do we push information about major upgrades?
by Vincent Untz 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what to do for https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609433 This bug is about the preferences in gnome-packagekit, where there's an option to check for major upgrades (ie, upgrades from 11.2 to 11.3). Thanks to Michael, I now know that this works by parsing some file in /etc/products.d/ and that we could advertise such upgrades by releasing an update to the openSUSE-release package. Now, I wonder: is this something we are doing? Ie, will we release a new openSUSE-release package for 11.2 to tell users about the 11.3 release? (and then for 11.3 to tell about 11.3+1?)

[opensuse-factory] Difference in QT and GTK software management
by Rastislav Krupanský 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

Hi all. I noticed in M7 that QT software management has option "Allow change vendor". This option but is missing in GTK software management. And on the other side, GTK has check/uncheck box "Close window when done", where i can set whether software management is closed after installation/removing packages. And this is missing in QT software management. QT it´s always closed by default. There is no option in QT software management to set this behaviour. Will be added these missing features? Now Qt and GTK software managements are totally different apps. Not only they look different, but they have different functions as well. -- 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] Problem with 1680x1050 display on DVI with Intel HD graphics
by Michael Schmuker 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

Hi all, I'm having a severe problem with a 1680x1050 display connected via DVI on my Lenovo T410s (Intel HD graphics). The screen flickers when krunner is displayed, and turns completely black when YAST2 or another large window is displayed. Flicker frequency depends on size of the window. Usding GNOME makes everything worse. Switching off compositing doas not change anything. No ptoblems occur with a 1280x1024 display. I already filed a bug report ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613165 ). Currently, I'm on VGA for that display, where the problem does not occur, but the image quality is significantly worse. Anyone eose having this problem? What can I do to debug?

Just to verify that it's not only me that is having problems I'd like to ask if anybody else is using the openSUSE package of acroread on a x86_64 machine with the 64 bit version of FireFox installed and with passwords supplied via NIS. In this setup calling acroread from the commandline will only give you an error message about an unknown user id and end. Trying to open a pdf inside FireFox gives you an empty tab. The second problem with acroread is that the print properties dialog behaves erratically. For one, changing settings doesn't seem to work and if you try to oopen the print settings dialog a second time the dialog only flashes and vanishes. cheers Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] disabling modemmanager completely
by Cristian Rodríguez 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Hi: I have an USB device, which is not a modem that uses the cdc_acm kernel driver, yet modem-manager tries to use the device, and just fills the logs modem-manager: data_available (ttyACM0): response buffer filled before repsonse received. and attempt to load its plugins as well. modem-manager: (ttyACM0) opening serial device... modem-manager: (ttyACM0): probe requested by plugin 'Generic' I wasnt able to find anyway to disable it, removing package ModemManager also removes the _complete_ Networkmanager stack.

[opensuse-factory] Postgresql is broken

Hey Group; Why is openSuSE sending out a broken version of postgresql? I have spent about 4 days and never gotten it to work. So, I downloaded and compiled 8.4.4 and compiled it installed it over openSuSE's version. Chown to postgres.postgres /var/lib/pgsql. Then went to /etc/init.d and ran the script "./postgresql start".

The KDE desktop is setup to save the desktop when shutting down the system. This works with most KDE applications. They come up again after restarting the system. But this doesn't work with knetworkmanager. I have to restart it manually everytime after a reboot.

[opensuse-factory] Dual boot: Suse does not find non-Suse distros
by Dotan Cohen 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

I recently installed Open Suse 11.3 beta (build 0625) on a system with another Linux distro in another partition. Interestingly, Suse gave me no option for configuring dual boot, and the resulting boot menu showed only the Suse partition. I was had to install a custom Grub2 to get back into the other distro. Why doesn't Suse provide this? I see that a bug on the issue was CLOSED with no solution to the problem being awarded: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548993 Of course, I won't be installing Suse again until it detects other OSes and adds them to the boot loader automatically. I expect any modern Linux distro to do that for me. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Yesterday I did a 'zypper up' to get my test system on the latest and greatest - and now I can no longer run VirtualBox. Of course it could be plain operator error, but I had no problems running VirtualBox only two days ago. I run it the usual way - get vboxdrv loaded, chgrp on /dev/vboxdrv, then start ./VirtualBox from the build directory (I haven't installed it permanently). I get the standard error "kernel driver not accessible".

[opensuse-factory] yast2-qt recommended by gnome_yast pattern
by Vincent Untz 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hi, Playing with "zypper dup" from a GNOME livecd, I see that yast2-qt and therefore qt gets installed. Since this is relatively big, I'd like to avoid doing that by default. From what I can tell, this is only happening because the gnome_yast pattern recommends yast2-qt. I can see this comment to explain this recommendation: "only there for the DVD to have a theme". Is this still valid? I don't see why the DVD would need this since it will already be on the DVD. (I'm also trying to find out why tcl gets installed with "zypper dup" too, but no luck so far) Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] What about providing Release Notes also for LiveCDs?
by Stefan Dirsch 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi I'm wondering whether it wouldn't make sense to provide release notes also for openSUSE LiveCDs. I'm thinking about topics you need to know before running the LiveCD, e.g. to avoid a black screen with some graphics cards (boot option "nomodeset"). What do you think? Is anything already planned for 11.3? Or do we still rely on these "most annoying bugs" pages, which probably especially new users are never going to find? Best would be to see such release notes already when downloading the LiveCD image, i.e. accessible on the same page.

[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] Status on flicker-free boot for openSUSE 11.3
by Roman Bysh 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Dear Fellow Listmates, I was reviewing the booting of openSUSE Milestone 7 and I am still seeing flickering, then switching to black for at least 10 to 15 seconds. The first bootsplash shows a progress bar that goes to 50 percent, flickers, then goes to black. This is then followed by another bootsplash of a different color, that shows the percentage at about 20 percent that does not move for a number of seconds. Then it moves quickly. This is much slower than openSUSE 11.0 - 11.2. I thought there were a number of requests by many users in openFate and it was marked as "Done". Any way to improve the look and speed for RC1? Cheers!

Hi there, I would like to request an addition of mdds library to the devel:libraries:c_c++ project.

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.
