-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [opensuse-factory] What is going on!!!!!! Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2011 11:16:49 -0600 From: Donn Washburn <n5xwb(a)comcast.net> To: openSuSE-Factory <opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org> What in the world is changing permission on a fresh reload of 11.4 M6. So far something changed /dev/null so that "startx" failed and now a knosole won't return a curser. I found the problem with the gpm mouse not working. It turns out to be a i586 openSuSE problem with a defective binary gpm, next the permissions on /dev/input/mice or mouse0 is to tight (which are set by udev), then mouse0 and mice in /etc/sysconfig/mouse has both variable set as mice, and lastly the start script (echo $GPM_PARM} seems to have a problem with its variables. Where are the permissions.local setting for changing mouse0 and mice. I tried /etc/permissions.local and doesn't work at boot time. Logged In to Bugs and typed in info only to have it close without sending. - Add to it permchanges shown by SuSEconfig.

[opensuse-factory] 11.4m6 - zypper not installed by default?
by Per Jessen 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

I installed the minimum text-only selection, but zypper wasn't automatically selected? Sounds a bit silly and in 11.3 I'm pretty certain zypper was included by default.

[opensuse-factory] 11.4 M6of 6
by Donn Washburn 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hey openSuSE Group; Have you fixed the problem with 6 of 6 not finding the grub.rpm. This is coming from 11.3 because due to a missing grub.rpm problem on a NET load of 11.4 M6. -- 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] openSUSE Branding HOWTO (gfxboot and bootsplash)
by Javier Llorente 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hi list-mates, I've been integrating the artwork for 11.4 and I thought that it would be a good idea to write an openSUSE Branding HOWTO (gfxboot and bootsplash- branding-openSUSE). Feedback is welcome! Will's KDE Branding HOWTO is here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2010-06/msg00068.html If you have also done some branding, think about writing a HOWTO ;-) gfxboot Update the following images: back.jpg in themes/openSUSE/data-boot/ Startup options. 800x600 welcome.jpg in themes/openSUSE/data-install/ back.jpg in themes/openSUSE/data-install/ Install options. 800x600 You can get the svg of the CD shown in welcome.jpg at http://gitorious.org/opensuse/art/trees/master/cdboot bootsplash-branding-openSUSE Update the following files: All the silent-* and bootsplash-* images in themes/openSUSE/images/ silent-* is the non-verbose bootsplash bootsplash-* is the verbose bootsplash Take into account that bootsplash-* is the background image for the console (text should be readable). The sampling factor of both silent-* and bootsplash-* must be 2x2,1x1,1x1 (aka 411). You can convert them all at once running for file in *.jpg; do convert $file -sampling-factor 2x2,1x1,1x1 $file; done (requires ImageMagick) The current resolutions for both silent and bootsplash images are the following: 640x480 800x600 1024x600 1024x768 1152x768 1152x864 1280x768 1280x800 1280x854 1280x960 1280x1024 1366x768 1400x1050 1440x900 1600x1024 1600x1200 1680x1050 1920x1200 3200x1200 logo.mng is the logo for non-verbose bootsplash logov.mng is the logo for verbose bootsplash The configuration files are under themes/openSUSE/config/ There's no need to touch them unless you want to play with the mngs and the progress bar. Don't forget to take a look at the Gitorious openSUSE Art repository (gitorious.org/opensuse/art) especially http://gitorious.org/opensuse/art/blobs/master/boot/bootsplash.php Greetings, -- Javier Llorente

[opensuse-factory] Mailman in Factory
by Christian Boltz 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hello, mailman in Factory is still 2.1.11, while server:mail has 2.1.14. This most probably means that bug 633129 still applies [1] - short story: Mailman 2.1.11 is not compatibly with Python 2.6.x (and 2.7.x?), which results in various seriouos problems, like no digests sent out, people being not able to post to a mailinglist anymore and various funny backtraces being shown to users. I know it's quite late for a version update, but IMHO it can't get more broken. So please push the newer mailman version to Factory ;-) (If you don't want to do the version update, please at least apply the patch from bug 633129 comment #3.) Please also prepare an update for 11.3. Regards, Christian Boltz [1] I didn't test in Factory, however I would be surprised if the bug would have solved magically ;-) -- > wie gefährlich kann der momentan umgehende Wurm Sober-C für ein > Linux Betriebssystem werden?

[opensuse-factory] Murrine GTK engine issues?!
by smurfd 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hey, Have to start of with that im not sure wether to post this into opensuse-gnome or opensuse-factory. Thats why i sent to both lists. I seem to have some problems with the Murrine engine in 11.3+Factory Tested. Among others, the gnome panel has some issues, see attached image. The white border on the marked "urxvt" is not supposed to be there. The same problem occurs if i use the default Sonar theme. There the border is like light-green, not white. It was Not like that when i had a default 11.3 installation. I have Tried to compile murrine from source, but still, looks weird. I have tried other engines, like equin-eh whatever its called. and That one looks okey. Not sure howto "debug" it, or where to look for error messages. I Also see problems with the progressbar in Transmission-gtk, where it looks way off, like if it was 16 colors or something. I have tried googling and looking at the openSUSE forums, but so far, no go... Anyone experience the same problems and/or has some good ideas on howto get around them? br /smurfd

[opensuse-factory] libpng15
by Petr Gajdos 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hi list, libpng15 can be found in graphics project, feel free to test build with your packages. Details about api changes can be found in [1]. I would like quote only one paragraph from this document: " There are no substantial API changes between the non-deprecated parts of the 1.4.5 API and the 1.5.0 API, however the ability to directly access the main libpng control structures, png_struct and png_info, deprecated in earlier versions of libpng, has been completely removed from libpng 1.5. " Be sure I don't know now when will libpng15 become the default in the Factory, another mail will precede this change. Thanks for any comment on this, Petr [1] http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/src/libpng-1.4.x-to-1.5.x-summary.txt
