[opensuse-factory] New package - sleuthkit submitted - if its not too late
by Greg Freemyer 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

All, I just submitted a new leaf package, sleuthkit, to factory. If it is accepted, it is a classic computer forensic tool that has many users. It is still maintained and gets regular updates. It is a command line toolset with a large number of tools. http://sleuthkit.org/sleuthkit/desc.php http://wiki.sleuthkit.org/index.php?title=TSK_Tool_Overview (fyi, this submission was delayed due to an upstream license problem.)

[opensuse-factory] kdbg
by Ilya Chernykh 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

The package kdbg exists in KDE:KDE3 but seems it is completely alien there because it is based on KDE4. Can anybody please take this package to another development project? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 12.1 beta1 with lilo
by Arpadffy Zoltan 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hello, I have some troubles using lilo with the kernel kernel-default-3.1.rc7-3.1 that comes with 12.1 beta1. I run into the error: Fatal: Setup length exceeds 31 maximum; kernel setup will overwrite boot loader. When I increase verbose level to maximum I got information that it has 33 sectors, so is bigger then maximum. After some investigation I have found that other Linux distributions have run into this issue and the LILO development teem already corrected in the latest release: New LILO version 23.2 is released Posted by: Joachim Wiedorn Date: 2011-04-15 06:58 Summary:New LILO version 23.2 is released Project:LILO Linux Bootloader This new version now works with very new linux kernels (>= 2.6.36). Added some fixes for source code and manpages. Added new scripts liloconfig and lilo-uuid-diskid as used for Debian. Development Status : 4 - Beta : Environment : Console (Text Based) : Intended Audience : System Administrators : License : BSD License : Operating System : BSD : Linux : Programming Language : Assembly : C : Topic : Init : As we can see the 12.1 beta1 release uses lilo-22.8-66.4 I would kindly ask the responsible maintainer to include the latest lilo release into the upcoming opensuse releases. Thank you. Regards, Z -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Removing /usr/share/wallpapers/default*jpg
by Stephan Kulow 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hi, In the past we used the default.jpg links for our default wallpapers, but as neither KDE nor GNOME use these anymore I removed the clutter created by these files (GNOME respected the Hidden=true, but KDE didn't). So if you know software that uses these files, it should use a file from /usr/share/wallpapers/openSUSEdefault/contents/images/ Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Go r59 package & GCC Go front end
by Graham Anderson 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Sascha, List The go release 59 package in factory has some issues, the binaries compiled from Go sources are problematic, godoc, goinstall, gofmt, gofix at least segfault for me on 12.1 beta 1. Sascha, the compiler/linker (written in C) etc seem unaffected so I'm wondering if stripping the go binaries was (re)enabled in that package revision? Anyhow, the release 60 release in devel:languages:go seems fine. Just building a package for yesterdays 60.2 micro release... I've made a couple of tweaks to the package and a minor patch to the linker to allow gdb to use go specific pretty printer and helper functions. Sascha would you please review it when i submitreq it to D:L:Go? I'll start fixing up the other lib packages that need updated against r60. This got me thinking, binaries and libraries built from the gccgo implementation should have native support in gdb, but I don't see a GCC front end for Go, now that we are on GCC 4.6 do we build this at all? The gccgo implementation seems to be in reasonably good shape these days and; as far as I know, while still a bit slower to compile than the Plan 9 style compilers, it does produce faster code. I'd like to see us have the gccgo frontend for go as well as the native implementation, is this something the GCC maintainers would consider or should I take this on myself?

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed: some flaws during zypper up
by Juergen Orschiedt 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

The latest "zypper up" showed a few flaws: - gnome-color-manager-3.0.0-1.49 - empathy-3.0.2-4.37 - gnome-packagekit-3.0.3-3.22 Additional rpm output: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.freedesktop.Tracker.Extract.gschema.xml: Error on line 5 char 1: <enum id= 'org.freedesktop.Tracker.TrackerVerbosity'> not (yet) defined.. This entire file has been ignored. - xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.10.4-166 /etc/modprobe.d/50-nvidia.conf options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=33 NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0660 IMHO NVreg_DeviceFileMode should be 0666, otherwise only root is able to use 3D (like vmware, glxinfo). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] UEFI bootable livecd/dvd image ?
by Vincent 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hi, I managed to get opensuse installed (and booting) on my uefi enabled system. However I had to use another livecd distro (namely Ubuntu) to achieve proper grub2 and embedded EFI bootloader configuration. efibootmgr does not work from a non uefi system, and iso from opensuse.org are not able to boot in UEFI mode. This is an issue because it does not allow to make EFI bootloader able to launch GRUB2. An ugly workaround consist in playing with *.efi file in ESP partition to cheat EFI bootloader, but it is not safe. Another one is to boot ubuntu in UEFI mode to use efibootmgr. Would it be possible to make iso able to boot in UEFI mode, to remove the need to use some third party tool to add an entry to the EFI bootloader ?
