[opensuse-factory] Firefox from SuSE is failing to be called by Thunderbird
by Donn Washburn 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hey Group; I sure am getting upset about everything that fails to work with every updated version of openSuSE. This time it is Firefox-4.010b4-1 from openSuSE. It can not even be replaced with a good version from Mozilla any longer. I used under 6 of 6 version 4.0.11 and even it worked but now nothing works. Except Opera Why is it that openSuSE fiddle around with things from Mozilla and Sun applications. Download them and install used to work correctly but now Mozilla fails with that XPCOM error when called from a xterm/knosole I would like to have it work because it is called by Thunderbird from a email. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Prob with partition tool in 11.4rc1 installer?
by C 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

I've encountered a minor issue with the partition tool in the 11.4 rc1 installer... (during the install) I go to the Expert Partitioner, and while in the System View > Linux, and I right click on any existing drive or partition. I am presented with a context menu with choices like Edit, Move, Resize, Delete. If I select any of these options, nothing happens. I can double-click on any partition and edit/'change it, or navigate to to Linux > Hard Disks > sda (etc). and edit/change the partition info, but it seems that the context menu - at least for me - isn't working. Anyone else encounter this? (I've looked through bnc, but didn't see anything similar in the reported bugs).

[opensuse-factory] new version of gcc not compatible with older scripts?
by phanisvara das 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

after some updates to gcc & co, perhaps 10 days ago, i'm getting errors trying to compile programs that used to work fine, like GIMP from git, even nvidia...run files throw errors. in case of nvidia, not using the "-q" option allows me to disregard the compiler warning that i don't have a working gcc, and everything works fine. i haven't been able to figure out yet where & how GIMP checks for a working gcc. i assume similar things happen to other factory users, or is there something screwed up on my end? the error i'm getting is: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" -- but it obviously can, since i've been building kernel modules with it... -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] two update applets

I'd say one update applet is more than enough ;-) - are there any plans to automatically remove one of them in upgrades from previous openSUSE releases?

I'm sick of the endless license discussions where everyone is wrong except for you. Anyone who disagrees is dismissed without discussing the merits of what they are saying, just that "they should go research" because "clearly" then they would agree with you. That's not productive. It's infuriating, insulting, and makes people dismiss you as a trolling crackpot. Seriously, Joerg, you must have noticed by now that this behavior makes most people just ignore or dismiss you outright. You declare to have private knowledge of events, use that as evidence to enhance your claims, yet never offer proof. When someone else disagrees with your position, you demand proof, which on its face is entirely acceptable - but for the fact that you are consistently hypocritical about adhering to that standard yourself. You assume that you're the only person who has ever talked to a lawyer and there's no evidence to back that up. Even some of your claims have been refuted by the people you have claimed to have made them. Ignoring all that, since it's clear you have no intention of ever changing your behavior, let's get back to the original topic. The simple fact is that most people on the opensuse-factory list _do not care_ about licensing issues. Yes, they're important to the life of the project but for most people they are irrelevant. You can debate the effectiveness of debian-legal all day but the single most important service it offers is removing the debate from the inboxes of people who simply do not care about it.

[opensuse-factory] cdrecord licensing is NOT RESOLVED
by Ray Cast 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi,Someone here said that the licensing issues have been resolved. I cannot see how: nothing has changed.Schily will of course claim they *never existed*. But as long as there is *some doubt*, I consider shipping compiled cdrecord a certain legal *risk*. It doesn't need to be a proven copyright violation to be a risk; so Joergs claims are not sufficient for me. Apparently, RedHat, Debian etc. also still see this issue persist. Be careful with anything Joerg claims. He likes citing himself (e.g. his own "OSSCC" - yes, that is him, too!) and as you have seen at the same time claims that Eben Moglen backs his view and calls him a liar. To him, anything supporting his claims is sound and anything else thus must be a lie. And of course, calling someone a liar then is a fact, not an insult, to him?!? But actually none of his claims have been supported by a court so far either. The risk thus persists! As far as I can tell, the key point is what you consider to be a "derivative work" and what not.Schily says that linking a library and using header files only makes a "collective work", and thus he licence combinations are valid. There is little doubt that a "collective work" (such as SuSE as a whole) can contain both CDDL and GPL code. However, most people consider linking GPL code to form a "derivative work" (after all, this is why the LGPL was created - with Joergs interpretation, LGPL and GPL would be the same!). As far as I can tell, Joerg would concur that building a "derivative work" with GPL and CDDL breaks the licensing. His "workaround" is denying that it it a "derivative work" at all, but that it is a "collective work". Neither interpretation was so far tested in a court as far as I can tell. And of course I did not measure the term "most" in the previous sentence, nor am I a lawyer. But basically when you aren't 100% sure that cdrtools entirely qualifies as "collective work", you cannot distribute *compiled* versions. (The derived vs. collective work part is a compile time issue; distributing the uncompiled source code should be okay). We need to be *really careful* here, and it seems best to go the safe way and NOT ship cdrecord. Sooner or later, he will have a go at us then, call us liars, claims that we broke his software, slandered his name as author, introduced bugs and so on. Like he has done to everyone else so far! You already have him seen attack just about everyone on this list the last weeks; are you sure you want to have him as upstream author? I'd not be willing to take care of a cdrecord package given an upstream this hostile. And since there is no other upstream author, there is noone else to talk to. Schily has also shown very unwilling to adopt cdrecord to the users; instead the users are expected to adopt to cdrecord. For example, he has always told people to use the SCSI emulation and SCSI-like device ids instead of accepting that some users prefer referencing devices by their unix path name such as /dev/hda in particular for non-SCSI devices. From a user perspective this makes a lot of sense to use the same device name for both mounting and writing CDs. If I understood the early fights correctly, such patches have in fact been one of the things that Schily hated about Debian and wodim. Wodim has worked correctly for me every single time. (I don't use blueray though)And the future solution should be libburnia, which is actively developed and seems to have a sane upstream instead of a madm^W^W Schily. So I see no need at all to go the risky way of "shipping" cdrecord. Wodim is okay as an interim solution, and libburnia is the way to go on the long run!There is a cdrecord-like wrapper in libburnia called "cdrskin" that is meant to serve as drop-in replacement for the "cdrecord" command.

[opensuse-factory] RFC: webkitgtk 1.2.x or 1.3.x for 11.4?
by Vincent Untz 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi, So far, for 11.4, we've chosen the "let's have latest webkitgtk in Factory to avoid bunches of security issues". But as I wanted to update to 1.3.11, I see it now requires libsoup 2.33. So I now wonder what to do: maybe we'd want to go back to the 1.2.x stable branch. Or should we go ahead and use libsoup 2.33? Here are some pros/cons: webkitgtk 1.2.x =============== Pros: + stable release + no need to require unstable libsoup Cons: - might not see tons of security updates once 1.4 is out - not latest webkit webkitgtk 1.3.x =============== Pros: + many nice improvements (accessibility, drag/drop, WebSocket, improved HTML5 support, HTTP cache, etc.) + probably includes more fixes for security bugs + probably easier maintenance after 11.4 is out since we'll likely just update to new upstream version Cons: - officially an unstable release (no major bug, though) - requires unstable libsoup As far as libsoup is concerned, 2.33 is API compatible, and contains some new features for the new webkit. 2.34 should be out in April, so we could update to it after 11.4 is released. Just to avoid some security-maintenance nightmares, I'm leaning towards staying with 1.3.x and updating libsoup. Opinions?

[opensuse-factory] CPU frequency scaling doesn't work (RC1).
by Carlos E. R. 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I get a warning (two, actually) in gnome that frequency scaling is unsuported; and the applet says that both cores run at 2.09 GhZ. In 11.2 they run at 1.20. CPU is Intel T4300. This means higher temperature and more battery ussage (it is a laptop). Is this problem known? (test partition of system was upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4 RC1 sucesfully) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-factory] Problem after installing 11.4 RC1
by C 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

I did a test install (on a laptop, Atom CPU, Intel video) of 11.4RC1 from DVD iso. I selected Gnome as the desktop and did a default install. After the install completed, I was left with a desktop that looked like this: http://www.digitaldragon.ca/Screenshot.png (the two squares top left explained below) So, the bottom panel is empty. I cannot add anything to the panel either (eg I right click and add to panel.. anything I try to add never shows up). I tried creating a new user and logging in as that user... same thing. I hit Alt+F2 and started an xterm (actually did this twice), and got the squares you see in the top left of the screenshot. So... anyone else seeing this?

[opensuse-factory] License question :-)
by Stefan Seyfried 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

Hi, not trolling, I promise. What's the license of the aaa_base package? The RPM says "GPLv2+" /usr/bin/old says nothing, only "Copyright ... SuSE Linux AG" Is the whole aaa_base "GPLv2 or later"?

[opensuse-factory] kernel update history and kde logs
by jdd 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

Hello, I have a little sound problem with kde. * where are located the kde error logs? I don't see them in /var/log ("sound device removed" say a message that flashes and desapear) - I would like to look at them and if necessary share them :-) * is there a place with a kernel update history (that is a list of kernel updates with the date they where pushed)? I have the same problem with 11.3 (2.6.34.7-07) and 11.4RC1 (2.6.37), but's it recent the problem is the following: at start kde issues a message saying "the sound card was removed, do you want me to forget it?" but after that the sound works pretty well. This was not the case say 15 dayx ago. so I wonder if it's a hardware problem (my computer is new - less than 1 month) or a software problem. I couldn't fix it with the help of the openSUSE forum. if it's a kernel problem, I can open a bugzilla. I have two sound cards (included in the box, I never openned it), one is seen as nvidia for hdmi, the other is seen as realtek by windows 7 and as intel by openSUSE thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgxog7_clip-l-ombre-et-la-lumiere-3-bad-pi… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGgv_ZFtV14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] untraceable instability with Kernel:/HEAD
by phanisvara das 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

i've been using Kernel:/HEAD, X11:/XOrg, and the latest nvidia driver for a long time on openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) with KDE 4.6 (KDE:/Distro:Factory) without any real problems. since 10 days or so my system freezes now & then with no recognizable pattern, leaving no traces in Xorg.0.log, messages, or anywhere else as far as i can see. downgrading one or two kernel versions and to older nvidia drivers, even 256.53, didn't change anything; yesterday i downgraded to the oldest kernel i still have, 2.6.37-41-desktop, and so far everything runs stable. this doesn't really bother me, since for my use there isn't any noticeable performance hit with the older kernel, but i'd like to find out what's going wrong. is that what Kernel-trace is for? if yes, how would i go about to trace these crashes? -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] starting with full HD video
by jdd 12 Feb '11

12 Feb '11

Hello, I just installed 11.4RC1 with the net cd, it works well. However I couldn't have the install in the full HD 1920x1080 as most new mo,itors uses this size, it's a problem. Of course, after the start the openSUSE *is* full screen, but neither the install nor the boot time (it was the same for 11.3) I *have* the option available from the "f2" option at the first boot menu of the install cd, but it don't seems to work. I don't find bugzilla entry on the subject, I can create one if necessary jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgxog7_clip-l-ombre-et-la-lumiere-3-bad-pi… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGgv_ZFtV14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
