[opensuse-factory] suspend/resume regressions
by St. Quandt 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hi, with each milestone of 12.1 i'm seeing increasing no. of regressions with suspend/resume (both hibernate and to RAM) with my arrandale notebook (i915 integrated graphics). 1) The most recent (since RC2) is that the backlight of my notebook reproducable stays switched off after resuming from suspend to RAM. I can switch it on by quickly closing and opening the laptop lid. But closing the lid triggers another suspend (which is not nullified by reopening the lid). 2) Then i wanted to edit powermanagement systemsettings to prevent suspend on closing the lid. Interestingly beside the three usual "power profiles" I found 16 new ones with names like "DirWatch", "Directories", "KDE URL Restrictions", "WM". 3) A bit older problem (may be RC1) are random suspend to RAM happening spontaneous and multiple times without apparent reason. Sometimes this is preceded with popup window requesting the root pasword for the suspend action. As soon as I cancel it, the computer suspends nevertheless. 4) With hibernate I see different phenomens with failing or incomplete resume, frequently with kernel oops. The most prominent (w/o oops) is that after resume the screen remains showing the black text console in conjunction with an X cursor! If i move the curser it changes its form over (invisible) application windows or window frames. In this situation I found no way to get kwin properly rendering windows by switching around with Ctrl-Fx. Anyone else seeing regressions like this? Any hints for investigating or troubleshooting on issues like this?

[opensuse-factory] GMP build issue (make check) for armv7l
by Joop Boonen 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hi All, I'm busy checking out why make test fails for gmp. <quote> make check-TESTS make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/packages/BUILD/gmp-5.0.2/tests/cxx' terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument' terminate called recursively qemu: uncaught target signal 6 (Aborted) - core dumped /bin/sh: line 5: 333 Aborted ${dir}$tst FAIL: t-assign PASS: t-binary PASS: t-cast terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument' terminate called recursively qemu: uncaught target signal 6 (Aborted) - core dumped /bin/sh: line 5: 390 Aborted ${dir}$tst FAIL: t-constr PASS: t-headers PASS: t-istream PASS: t-locale PASS: t-misc PASS: t-ops PASS: t-ostream PASS: t-prec terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error' terminate called recursively qemu: uncaught target signal 6 (Aborted) - core dumped /bin/sh: line 5: 536 Aborted ${dir}$tst FAIL: t-rand PASS: t-ternary PASS: t-unary ==================================== 3 of 14 tests failed Please report to gmp-bugs(a)gmplib.org ==================================== </quote> What I see is the following. For some reason there seems to be an exception handling issue for openSuSE arm. If I look for instance in the t-assign.cc // operator=(const char *) with invalid { try { const char *a = "abc"; mpz_class b; b = a; ASSERT_ALWAYS (0); /* should not be reached */ } catch (invalid_argument) { } } All code is fine. An exception has correctly been generated. But for some reason the try/catch doesn't catch the exception. Even if I change the "} catch (invalid_argument) {" to "} catch (...) {" it doesn't. I saw such an exception also in zypper when I didn't do a refresh I also saw something like terminate called after throwing an instance of '*File*NotExist*' or something like that. So I don't think it's a gmp but an exception handling problem. I don't know yet where the exceptions are handled. By which package. I'm checking this out now. If someone knows please let me know.

[opensuse-factory] Mixed findings with 12.1RC2
by Jogchum Reitsma 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hi all, I had some strange experiences, and two problems left with 12.1RC2. I installed it as a new install, formatting / and /boot , but with an existing and populated /home partition. On first install, it got till some 80% of all packages, and from then complained not being able to lock the rpm-database, because the file system was read-only. I wish I had made a note of the message immediately, so I could have been more specific. Instead I gave it another go from the start, and now everything installed fine. One peculiarity: in both occasions there was a message that parted couldn't read the partition table of the disk to be installed upon, and hence wouldn't be able to repartition the disk. That wasn't needed, so no big deal in my case, but it seems strange to me... Two problems are left: - video: I have a two-monitor setup, on a simple Radeon HD6450-based card. Bios messages and grub-menu appear on both screens, but KDE only appears on one. When I first tried to activate the second screen by kde's system settings, I got a totally messed up second screen. But after a restart of KDE the second screen came up automagically... So far so good, but now I have re*booted*, the screen which I had designated as the first is totally messed up: a pattern of blue/white vertical lines, an the top there is about 1 mm which seems like the border of a window or something, and where one can see a tiny part of the mouse cursor moving. No task bar visible, so I'm rather in the dark, sometimes able to grasp a window from the first screen and pulling it to the second, where it is visible. krunner also lets me start programs which are visible on the second screen. - sound: I have a dedicated sound card (a Xonar Essence STX), which is seen by yast, kde-system settings and kmixer. I have set it up as default in yast, and as preferred hardware in kmixer. Test sounds and notification sounds come trough fine, but music, be it from youtube through firefox, or with kaffeine is not audible. One can see the streams from firefox or kaffeine coming up in kmixer, though... All in all, my findings are mixed, and especially the video-problems renders the system rather unusable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] X command requires root
by James Knott 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Since Remote Login is broken in 12.1, I tried to use the X :n -query <host> command. I found that it currently requires root, whereas a user could use it before. In checking permissions of /usr/bin/Xorg, I find that in 11.0, the permissions are -rws--x--x, but in 12.1 they're -rwxr-xr-x. By setting the sticky bit, I can now run X as a mere mortal. Why the difference in 12.1? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] zypper not deleting packages
by Freigeist 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Hello, I had 12.1 rc1 32 and 64 bit installed on two systems from a 12.1 Live cd a few days ago and had both systems upgraded to 12.1 rc2 with zypper dup. The point is, that the downloaded packages don't get removed after they were installed. I currently have around 1400 packages in my systems that are kept after installation. I already checked in yast->Software Repositories if "Keep Donwloaded Packages" is checked or not and it isn't. Can anyone confirm this? How do I do I make zypper delete installed packages after installation again?

[opensuse-factory] RC2 repo
by Anders Johansson 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Hi, Is there an ETA on the RC2 repository? Right now there is only an iso directory, and updating from the iso gives me too many apps that get removed because they aren't on there. To do a real update, I need the full repository When I updated to the betas, I used factory oss and non-oss to get all packages, but I hear this is no longer possible since factory has opened up and is moving to 12.2, so I really need the 12.1 RC repo to update Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Request for new package in oS:Factory - Unknown Horizons
by Nelson Marques 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Hi all, I would like to request if it is possible to add Unknown Horizons to openSUSE:Factory, having in mind the following: - Required dependencies: + fife - provides the game engine (http://fifengine.de) + python-enet - provides the python bindings for ENet, this allows us to remove the bundled "enet.so" provided with UH, so we use our own stuff built with openSUSE; + guichan (0.8) - support library used to build the UI (doesn't need allegro for UH, so if allegro isn't on Factory we don't really to add allegro, unless...) - Development Project: games:unknown-horizons (which should provide all the dependencies for UH) - There is no need for this application to be a part of the release DVD (users can install it through zypper), but if someone thinks it would nice to add it to the DVD, I have no objections (I would actually cheer for it). Description: Unknown Horizons is a 2D realtime strategy simulation with an emphasis on economy and city building. Expand your small settlement to a strong and wealthy colony, collect taxes and supply your inhabitants with valuable goods. Increase your power with a well balanced economy and with strategic trade and diplomacy. Unknown Horizons and dependencies are around 100Mb (including artwork, etc).
