For desktops and laptops, I don't touch them, for servers, I have one or two standard modifications. Overall, an optimal syslog setup depends entirely on what a system is used for. wrt your suggestions - I would prefer keeping crond messages in /var/log/messages - on a default system I don't see enough crond activity to warrant a separate file. (but there is already a commented out entry in syslog-ng.conf). Log auth and authpriv separately - yeah, why not. Filtering out messages from /var/log/messages if logged elsewhere - it's already being done for some, e.g. firewall. To me, that depends mostly on volume and somewhat on purpose. Logging changes I usually do for a production system: disable separate logging for mail.<level>, disable separate logging for news.*, amend logrotate for our log archiving, to use lzma compression and to run at midnight. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Critical RC2 bug: quitting quadrapassel kills x-server
by Atri Bhattacharya 02 Jul '10

Hi! Could someone test this bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=617651 with Gnome in RC2 and confirm if he/she can see it regularly too? Also I don't understand clearly what a "shipstopper" means, but if this crash is indeed so clearly reproducible and brings down X every time, would this be a shipstopper?

[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
