[opensuse-factory] Fwd: [opensuse-multimedia] wodim/cdrecord

by Dave Plater

I thought I'd forward this to the factory list in the hope of the wodim developer seeing it. The sender of this mail has the complete opposite experience with wodim to myself and at least one other user. Dave P -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [opensuse-multimedia] wodim/cdrecord Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 23:11:43 -0500 From: Steven Sroka <sroka.steven(a)gmail.com> To: opensuse-multimedia(a)opensuse.org Hi, I don't know if anyone is aware of this, but I've been seeing this everywhere and its quite old. I've copied the relevent lines from: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447910 "you are not using cdrecord but a bastardizd variant that does not really support to write DVDs." This issue still exists because opensuse still provides wodim/cdrecord. I actually ran into this because wodim/cdrecord kept ruining my DVD's. -- Steven Sroka -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+help(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] New package for NonFree

by Robert Schweikert

Hi, I just created a submit request for :Factory:NonFree for a package called suse-ami-tools. The most important part of the package is an init script that does the ssh-key injection for EC2 images, without which one cannot access a launched instance. Without this package it is not possible to create a working openSUSE image that can be uploaded to EC2 and access it. Would be great if the package could be included (also in 11.4, I know I am cutting it rather close, but I just figured out that this is critical to EC2).

[opensuse-factory] Bug#662001

by Steven Sroka

I reported a bug for M5 which needs more info, but I didn't get any response regarding how to mount my usb during install so I can copy over log files. If anyone who knows the answer helps me, I should be able to get the required info for the report. My question is copied below: How do I mount a usb during install? When I press Shift+F8, the save file dialog appears but my hard drive and my usb stick do not appear. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] virtualbox from suse repo + usb support

by Michal Šebeň

hi folks, as you might know, since virtualbox 4.0.0 "usb guest support" feature is now open source code, but during tests i found the problem : virtualbox needs full access to usb nodes, which of course, could lead to serious security problem (see bnc#664520 for details) - this means that (currently) virtualbox (provided by suse) doesn't have usb guest support enabled, by default as a workaround I added comment with two udev lines, which creates usb nodes in /dev/vboxusb/ dir with r/w access for vboxusers group (which feeds the virtualbox's needs), so after enabling these two lines (in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules) , your attached usb devices will be available also in virtualized guest system, but please keep in mind this could be real security problem ! JFYI how Oracle's virtualbox rpm deal with this situation (unacceptable due to possible security issue - basically they do the same as we with our two line comment in .rules file): - in post install of specfile : udev rule is added, http://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Installer/linux/rpm/Virtua… - this udev rule is triggered if usb device is added/removed - and it call VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh script http://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Installer/linux/VBoxCreate… - VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh (build /dev/vboxusb dir with usb devices and grand acces to $group) || (destroy /dev/vboxusb device) bye -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

All the gstreamers with updates are now in the queue for factory. If the name wasn't so long I would have had bad finished long ago. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 11.4m6 - release notes for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Mono ??

by Per Jessen

It doesn't bother me, but it looks pretty odd - the release notes at the very end of the installation says "Release Notes for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Mono" and are dated 2009/02/10. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] New packages (must be in 11.4 or a lot of users will be disappointed) slv2 and lv2core to enable the LV2 plugin system.

by Dave Plater

The two new packages, that I had ready two weeks ago but for libredland-python bindings being needed for lv2config which isn't even needed by others to build so far they use the pkg-config .pc. I became aware of the need for LV2 from this private email on new years day : I am using your Ardour-2.8.11-24.36.x86_64.rpm. Ardour can't find LV2 plugins Can you make it with LV2 enabled for opensuse 11.3 x86_64 greeting Anton vd Haterd Both packages are in multimedia:libs. It wasn't a simple task to enable because I had to hunt down and create slv2 which needs lv2core, the base LV2 package to build. I've since discovered other multimedia packages that use this simple and easy to use plugin system, which it turns out is not limited to audio, the latest being "gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad". http://lv2plug.in/docs/index.php?title=Main_Page The lv2core package is entirely a devel package with the lv2config being python, using redland python bindings, I'm relying on X11:common:Factory to get the updated redland package into factory (Vincent if you have any influence can you please help that? sr#59432 ). Taken from the header of lvconfig (this also explains the author and license, slv2 is GPLv2+) : """A program (and Python module) to generate a tree of symlinks to LV2 extension bundles, where the path of the symlink corresponds to the URI of the extension. This allows including extension headers in code without using the bundle name. Including extension headers in this way is much better, since there is no dependency on the (meaningless and non-persistent) bundle name in the code using the header. For example, after running lv2config (and setting the compiler include path appropriately), LV2 headers could be included like so: #include "lv2/lv2plug.in/ns/lv2core/lv2.h" #include "lv2/lv2plug.in/ns/ext/event/event.h" #include "lv2/example.org/foo/foo.h" Where the initial "lv2" is arbitrary; in this case lv2config's output directory was "lv2", and that directory's parent was added to the compiler include search path. It is a good idea to use such a prefix directory so domain names do not conflict with anything else in the include path. """ __authors__ = 'David Robillard' __license = 'GNU GPL v3 or later <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>' __contact__ = 'devel(a)lists.lv2plug.in' __date__ = '2010-10-05' The slv2 package is a helper package for lv2core. Pasted from http://drobilla.net/software/slv2/ : SLV2 is a library to make the use of LV2 plugins as simple as possible for applications. SLV2 is free software (GPL v2 or later) written in C99 using the Redland RDF toolkit, and is known to work on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X. Documentation SLV2 documentation is installed as standard UNIX man pages, see man slv2 HTML Documentation can be built from the source distribution using ./waf configure --build-docs, or you can browse documentation online. Bugs SLV2 is well-tested software, the included test suite consists of 255 tests with over 90% code coverage. Please file any bugs you find here I will post the submit requests numbers when I've completed them. Thanks in advance. (I've mentioned in past emails about not being paid well having these packages accepted to 11.4 will be payment enough.) Now I must get back to getting multimediaa;libs and then apps up to date and in good condition for 11.4, as I did with 11.3 although then I could only just spell packager now I are one.

[opensuse-factory] Fail to install 11.4 M6 on Virtualbox PUEL

by Marco Calistri

Hello, I tried to upgrade my 11.4 guest running zypper dup, then zypper downloaded/installed more than 1000 pkgs, at reboot X stops to starts. Then I downloaded 11.4 Build 1034-i586 and attempted to install it as guest on Virtualbox 3.2.12, in this case it has been a worst case since installation crashes after drivers loading. Wonder if are there some workaround in order to install M6 on Virtualbox PUEL. Cheers, -- opensuse 11.2 - Linux 2.6.31.14-0.6-desktop x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 - GeForce Go 6150 Gnome 2.28.2
