Dear devs, dear readers!
I installed 12.1 Milestone 1 on Virtual Box (Packard Bell EasyNote LJ61)
and tried to boot KDE now. The normal bootscreen came, but then the
console said the following:
FIBMAP: Invalid argument
FIBMAP: Invalid argument
(so on.....)
then the normal log-in came:
Welcome to openSUSE 12.1 "Asparagus" Milestone 1 - Kernel
2.6.39-2-default (tty1).
linux-bqgy login:
Anyone get the same? I´m downloading the M1 DVD now and will install the
LXDE version on my notebook.
Shall I open a bug report? I searched the openSUSE 12.1 section with the
keyword KDE and didn´t find such bug.
(Just the log-in bug for KDE, that kdm starts, but you can´t log-in.)
kind regards

Hi,
Folks in #opensuse-security were asking what stops TOMOYO from being
enabled in newer kernels.
FATE#310292
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668381
Not sure what the issue is with enabling it.
Ciao, Marcus

Hi,
The setup process of opensuse creates a /etc/fstab according to partition settings on the SSD/hard drive.
However there is no detection of the type (ie SSD or hard drive) during this process.
I discovered that the TRIM functionnality was not supported by default on ext4 file system.
TRIM aims at extending duration of SSD by delaying some write/delete operations ; besides it improves performance of SSD.
To get TRIM support on ext4, the partition must be mounted with the "discard" option in /etc/fstab.
Would it be possible for 12.1 to make the detection script able to spot a SSD and add this option at the setup step of openSUSE installation ?
I think that SSD users are not always aware that they need to tweak their /etc/fstab to preserve their drive...
I have no idea if TRIM support can be retrieved from SSD information at the kernel level.

Helloo,
On my usual factory install, I used to be able to start anything from
kdm or gdm, but Kde.
Today it's exactly the contrary. I can start kde but not gnmoe...
zypper up complained several time that SuSUconfig or one of it's
modules was missing
probably not precise enough to need a bug opening
thanks

This may be slightly off-topic for this forum, but I wanted to hear
what the Suse experts have to say.
We are are a research non-profit with about 2500 staff (300-400 part
time Unix users and 100 hardcore Linux users) and about 500 openSUSE
and some SLES and CentOS boxes ( 50 Desktops, 100 servers and a
compute cluster with 350 boxes) Our goal has always been to create a
unified environment which enables researchers to use their NFS mounted
home directory from everywhere and most of our systems are at openSUSE
11.2 or 11.3.
In general we really like Suse and have only 3 gripes:
SLES is too different from openSUSE (only small number of packages)
KDE support for encrypted wifi is insufficient (Gnome is only slighly better)
package names change too frequently (but I don't know that any other
Linux distro is doing a better job here)
I wanted to add that the infrastructure IT people i our organization
moved to CentOS after they found the package manager to be unworkable
in 10.1. (We found it pretty hard to swallow, too ....but we kept
going with Suse)
We are now starting to re-design our HPC cluster and one of the
questions that came up is which Linux distro we should use in the
future. We also need to upgrade our desktop Linux desktops so this
seems to be a good time to take a deep breath and re-think what we are
doing.
We only considered openSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora and CentOS. We quickly
ditched CentOS for being always being too outdated and Fedora for
being too bleeding edge. This leaves us with Ubuntu and openSUSE.
after a few days of research our group came up with this list and we
are still working on it. Please correct
Advantage openSUSE
---------------------------------
* YaST administration tool centralizes and simplifies configuration
and administration.
* As a team, we have much more experience supporting openSUSE. We have
deployment tools, software repositories, and rescue tools for openSUSE
and have experience building rpm packages (e.g. using the openSUSE
build service)
* Would have no migration costs to different Linux OS (~$50k - $100k
for migration of 100+ Linux Systems to Ubuntu)
* 8-month release cycle indicates openSUSE focuses more on stability
* Single edition of openSUSE supports both servers and desktops, KDE
and Gnome. (KDE in openSUSE is better supported than kubuntu)
* openSUSE is a Tier 1 distribution that can get bugfixes faster
upstream to the kernel developers (Ubuntu reports bugs to Debian which
reports them to the Linux kernel developers)
Advantage Ubuntu
--------------------------
* About 3x more binary packages are available for Ubuntu, including
scientific applications.
* Ubuntu is hardware-certified for more Laptops we use. (Gnome and
Unity have better support for ‘encrypted wifi’)
* Enterprise "Long Term Support" (LTS) version is actually the
standard disto with longer support cycles and is free (gets
maintenance updates for 3 years on the desktop version and 5 years on
the server version / Suse SLES subscription $350/year)
* 6-month release cycle indicates that Ubuntu focuses more on keeping
software up-to-date.
* Ubuntu has a larger user community worldwide which is able to
produce more documentation
* better supported in cloud environments (EC2 AMIs, etc)
* better supported with configuration management tools like puppet or chef.
Obviously some of the advantages are highly tailored to our
organization. I would be interested to hear what other advantages we
might find regarding openSUSE. For example, is there interest in more
active support of high performance computing technology in the future
(nfs/rdma, HPC distro using OSS schedulers etc)
Thanks much for your input.

Hi Greg,
libqt4-doc-devel and libqt4-sql-plugins should point to libqt4 sources
in Tumbleweed, not in KDE:Qt. Otherwise they can get out of sync (the
fixed libqt4-doc-devel/sql-plugins links from TW to KDE:Qt still point
to the latest liqt4 sources in KDE:Qt, not fixed ones).
I've fixed it for now. However could you modify your scripts to not
update these packages the same as for kernel-<non-source>?
thanks,

Hello,
I activated tumbleweed repository on a 64bit 11.4 fresh installation and
after a couple of weeks of using it, it started it the popup this
warning when installing or updating software with YaST :
"nothing provides libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.15)(64bit) needed by
kdebase4-runtime-4.6.8-7.5.x86_64"
Perhaps some package needs recompile ?
Cheers,
Valentin

The new Opensuse 12.1, will have the adsl packages with the first
install enabled?
The last weekend I installed opensuse 11.4 in the PC of a friend and I
made the necessary updates in my house. When it wanted to connect to
internet at his home, using an ADSL connection, it was found that he
could not connect, because the adsl connection was not configured. I
explained it how to configure the connection by phone, but it was not
possible, because Yast needed to install the packages smpppd, and
linux-atm-lib, and later the utility kinternet or qinternet.
Yesterday I got to his home, and I must to download the packages
executing firefox in windows, but with surprise, I could not find the
package linux-atm-lib. I probed ther fisrt time with the package
linux-atm, but this package required the atmlib package, and I must to
reboot in windows to download it and install it in Opensuse, but it
not worked, when I tried to make the adsl configuration in Yast,
because the linux-atm-lib package was not present, Yast has not saved
the configuration, and so on.
You have no idea how annoying it is having to reboot 5 times and use
windows to solve the problems opensuse, because I must to reboot in
windows and Opensuse about five times in both system, and made the
adsl configuration five times.
At last, because I hatte no way to find the linux-atm-lib package for
Opensuse 11.4, I probed to download and install the linux-atm-lib
package for Opensuse 11.3, and it worked.
About the last five versiones of Opensuse have not enabled in the
system with the first install the adsl packages, and in many cases,
the needed packages was not present in the cd or dvd.

I HTTP installed fresh a minimal X Factory this AM, and am trying for a
minimalist KDE4, since there doesn't seem to be a pattern for the purpose.

# zypper in --no-recommends kde4-printer-applet
Loading repository data...

Problem: kde4-printer-applet-4.6.3-2.1.i586 requires system-config-printer,
but this requirement cannot be provided
uninstallable providers: system-config-printer-1.2.5-6.1.i586[OSS]
Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
do not forbid installation of gtk3-tools-3.0.9-1.2.i586[OSS]
do not forbid installation of gtk3-data-3.0.9-1.2.noarch[OSS]
Solution 2: do not install kde4-printer-applet-4.6.3-2.1.i586
Solution 3: break kde4-printer-applet by ignoring some of its dependencies
Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/c] (c):
Why should _anyone_ need GTK3 to make KDE apps work? Do I actually need
kde4-printer-applet, or is YaST2 sufficient for installing and controlling
unshared ethernet printers? Don't other distros that don't have YaST2 make
KDE work without GTK?

All,
I just noticed that 32-bit libpcap appears to be missing from the
factory-snapshot (or at least one of builds is complaining about it
missing).
But looking at http://software.opensuse.org it seems to be fine. (I
clicked through to the repo, and it shows a successful 32-bit build).
How can I confirm that it really is fine in factory, but missing from
the snapshot?
(I have a small perl module I want to submit to factory, but I assume
I need it to be building before I submit it.)
Thanks
Greg
