by Michal Seben 07 Jun '11

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? Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[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

Hello Mates, atm i'm testing the Build 0648. If i go to YaST/Software Repositories/Community Repositories i got: Warning: Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. Jens Koeke reproduced that and he also found the problem. In /etc/YaST2/control.xml it points to this http://download.opensuse.org/YaST/Repos/openSUSE_113_Servers.xml which doesn't seem to be there. Is it planned to place that in the near future? -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns open-slx GmbH openSUSE Community & Support Agent openSUSE Marketing Team Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com Web: http://www.open-slx.de (openSUSE Box Support German) Web: http://www.open-slx.com (openSUSE Box Support English)
