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

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"?

Hi,
Not much news, but I put a first scretch of an 11.4 roadmap here:
http://www.suse.de/~coolo/opensuse_11.4/
But I'm thinking about leaving out Milestone1 (which of course would
actually mean Milestone7 is Milestone6 ;) - mainly because I'm on vacation
in august, but I know many more are.
As the feedback for the 11.3 release was pretty small I did the 11.4
roadmap very much based on the 11.3 data - with a bit more room
around new year. We'll see how this works out - KDE 4.6 should at least
fit perfectly for the last milestone and I have not yet seen plans for the
release after GNOME 3.0, so I don't know - but I guess 11.4 will have
GNOME 3.0.X.
Greetings, Stephan

Hi,
now that 11.3 is released I will request removal of mozilla-xulrunner191
as it won't be supported for openSUSE <next> anymore (most likely).
osc shows the following dependencies:
mozilla-xulrunner191 :
OpenOffice_org
OpenOffice_org-bootstrap
OpenOffice_org-components
OpenOffice_org-libs-extern
chmsee
kdebase4-workspace
libgluezilla0
moonshine
These packages need to be checked if it's possible to build them against
xulrunner192 or if the deps are bogus (inherited from a package down the
chain?).

I repeatedly see "Microcode SW error detected. Restarting"

Well, some applications in 11.3 accidentally crash. But most of them
does not want to crash in a moment I am debugging them in the gdb, I
searched in the documentation and found a simple solution.
Collect cores:
1. Set SOFTCORELIMIT in /etc/sysconfig/ulimit to "unlimited"
or do this just now by:
ulimit -c unlimited
2. mkdir /cores ; chmod +t /cores ; chmod og+rw /cores
3. Add a line to /etc/sysctl.conf:
kernel.core_pattern = /cores/%e-%t-%u.core
or do this just now by:
echo "/cores/%e-%t-%u.core" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
Core files will be stacked to /cores and ordered by application name and
time and will never overwrite. You can easily find a most crashing
application there.
Install debuginfo:
gdb often complains on missing debuginfo packages. You can easily
install all of them by copy and paste it to the console input of
following command:
eval zypper install $(sed -n 's/Try: zypper install//p')
Well, you can do the same using the gdb log file and then reading it:
eval zypper install $(sed -n 's/Try: zypper install//p' <gdb.log)
And in gdb use:
Nebo v gdb
set logging file gdb.log
set logging file on
set pagination off
attach {pid of application I want to debug}
detach
attach {pid of another application I want to debug}
Well, and if you have a core file, do the final well known:
bt
or
thread apply all bt
Notes:
Don't forget to check the backtrace in Bugzilla and submit unique
crashes.
If it is an accidental crash, it makes sense to submit the backtrace to
the upstream Bugzilla, if the crash makes a big problem to use
particular application or if you suspect that it is openSUSE specific,
submit it to the Novell Bugzilla as well.
Well, if the core comes from npviewer, feel free to run:
rm /cores/npviewer*
It does not make sense to report them anywhere. All these crashes I have
seen were triggered by Adobe Flash or Adobe Reader and I have no chance
to fix them.
Wanted: An easy manual how to be always ready for kernel crash dumps.

Dear All,
Factory has been opened again and we start getting wild. As many of you doubtlessly heard or read ( http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/?p=112 )
Compiz 0.9.0 has been released. This marked the first released snapshot of the new C++ rewrite of Compiz (the rewrite was not just to purely change
the language, but a lot of limitations were removed, and serialization using libboost for example added).
Now as Factory is open again, I will prepare the packages in X11:Compiz to be updated to 0.9.0 and then forward them to Factory. As brave Factory
user, I would like to 'warn' you about any possible breakage from this update (even though I don't hope for any).
Should you see any bugs, feel free to report them in the usual way in Bugzilla, component Compiz. As we have a good link to the upstream project I'm
confident that we will be able to resort any kind of problems we might run into.
Users that are running Compiz 0.8.6 on their systems and that have X11:Compiz enabled might want to switch to X11:Compiz:Compiz-0.8, which contains
the Compiz 0.8 bugfix tree (currently still at 0.8.6).
Hope you will continue having a lot of fun,
Dominique

OpenSuSE 11.3 GM seems to have a problem with either KDE or nouveau
kernel module. I have downloaded and compiled two different git weeks
and still have the same problem after git Simgear, Flightgear and FGData
have been compled and reinstalled.
That is that in both cases fgfs comes up with the bootsplash and seems
to load models up the Scenery loading part and then crashes, blow up or
whatever disappears.
Anyone have an idea for seen the same. Both programs were checked and
watched for compile errors none noted.
I have removed most of the nouveau stuff and installed an NV.run module.
And lsmod shows it is clean of nouveau which had bad GL problems.

Maybe it's already there and I'm just missing something, but I just thought
about a cool feature
zypper hist
showing you the packages installed and removed within last 24h or one week or
one month. Is there already such a function?
