If your running rc1 your better forwarding this to opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org mailing list I have done it for you this time. Stuart Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone -----Original Message----- From: lukaspress(a)googlemail.com Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 14:18:55 To: <opensuse(a)opensuse.org> Subject: [opensuse] Can't startx without root priviliges. Hello all, my first mail so hope i'm doing this right. My problem is that I like to boot into rl3 by default, then start Xorg with startx. It doesn't work though, i get errors saying "no xauthority. xxx", "can't find screen.." etc, and that I should set the setuid bit. I can't find log files anywhere to give detail on the errors sorry. xinit gives a slightly different error, but still something about authority/permissions. The only way I can start X from console is either via logging in as the root user, by using sudo, or by switching on the setuid bit on the Xorg binary (which is suggested in the startx error message). So the only sensible way I can get X as a normal user is to set default boot to rl5 in inittab. I'm new to SUSE but not new to gnu/linux, and this doesn't seem like 'normal' gnu/linux bahaviour to me. So is this a problem with my installation (11.4 RC1) or is this the intended behaviour? Guys on IRC seemed to think it was a bug, but if so why the 'informative' error message suggesting I set the setuid bit?

[opensuse-factory] /usr/sbin/cron[3919]: pam_listfile(crond:account): Couldn't open /etc/cron.allow

/usr/sbin/cron[3919]: pam_listfile(crond:account): Couldn't open /etc/cron.allow I get the above constantly in Var/log//messages Also, as there seems to be something wrong in PAM (fish and sftp not working without ssh keys) I'm thinking if this has something to do with the other PAM problems. Normally the file /etc/cron.allow doesn't exist. Should it? Why is it requested here?

[opensuse-factory] Power management bugs

Hi everyone! I was wondering if nobody else but two people experience that oS 11.4 does not behave when on battery, i.e. makes the hard disk suspend every few minutes. This has been long reported and also confirmed, but apparently it is not widespread, is it? https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=663067 Same, though only for the eye. Does splashy work for anyone when suspending to disk? I only get some error message which makes oS simply look bad, even with RC1. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=664793 Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

I would appreciate much more testing with various scanner models provided the scanner model is supported by sane-backends 1.0.22 http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html In case of issues, see "Trouble-Shooting (Debugging)" at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners Many thanks in advance for testing it!

Hi, We created openSUSE:11.4 now and will produce RC2 from there. For this I'll forward fixes I consider worthy from factory to 11.4 and will decline any direct submits to 11.4 to avoid people forgetting factory. Make sure your fixes are documented well enough, so I have a chance to figure the update is important - my default is factory only. Factory will see checkins, but I only care for it as time permits and concentrate on 11.4 for the next weeks.

[opensuse-factory] RFC: Staging driver communication
by Jeff Mahoney 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - One of the things I've seen cropping up lately is the number of bug reports that involve staging drivers. For the uninitiated, staging drivers are drivers that have been included in the kernel but are known to be of insufficient quality to be considered for "true" inclusion. Sometimes drivers in staging are improved and "promoted" to full inclusion and other times they are considered abandoned and are dropped entirely. One common example is the rt2860 driver. When I find the time, which is becoming rarer these days, I try to backport fixes to this driver to the 11.3 kernel since the hardware seems common enough. The issue as I see it is that we have no way to communicate to the user that the driver they're using is of dubious quality. In an ideal world, we could take the bug reports and fix the upstream driver. In reality, most of us don't have the time to tackle improving a driver for hardware we don't have. So, what's the best way to communicate this to the user? Here's my list but I'm open to suggestions: 1) Move staging drivers to a separate package that isn't installed by default 2) Issue a warning during install or first driver load that the driver is of dubious quality 3) Use something like the flags we use in the SLE kernels to document a driver as supported or not to prevent the driver from being loaded without explicitly enabling it (preferably combined with #2) 4) Add a release note documenting which drivers are staging and hope that users actually read it (unlikely) 5) Don't change anything - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1StIYACgkQLPWxlyuTD7LNoQCeLZMvEOfv4dEqeZ5INr8kCFkc y40AoJIdXIZceIIEj7liktJtzSl4+7QY =NaWq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hmm, it looks like your whole system is somehow screwed up. Do you remember when you noticed all these problems? Was it after the update from 11.4-m6 to RC1 or was it after the update to 11.4-m6? What was the original system that you updated to 11.4-m6? It think that it might be a bad luck or too complicated update scenario. I think that it is not a common problem. Otherwise, much more people would report non-working systems. BTW: Sun's OOo has its own copy of many system libraries. Also it does not have KDE4 integration. So it is less affected by a broken system. It might be the reason why it works.

[opensuse-factory] PackageKit, zypper and friends... Multi-repositories!
by Nelson Marques 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Dear all, I'm experiencing a small problem here (GNOME/PackageKit) and I seek guidance... If I had a repository which contains modified versions of packages already distributed in openSUSE and set it with higher priority so those packages are installed through 'zypper dup' all seems to go ok. As long as I use zypper update, it doesn't bring me any problems. The only problem is that PackageKit seems not to understand this multi-repository setups and is always complaining that there are updates, and eventually if I install such updates it just ignores repository priority and installs the stuff I don't want installed. This behaviour as led me to disable PackageKit agent on GNOME. Though this isn't much of a big deal for me, if we try to get users to install repositories like the ones I am using, this can lead to erratic behaviour from PackageKit. From my understanding this can be a bit bad karma and tackles the functionality that openSUSE offers, specially when it's repository based. Any thoughts on how to go around this behaviour from PackageKit? I apologize if this isn't the right list for such question.
