[opensuse-factory] Banshee and ndesk-dbus-glib, a case of terror...
by Nelson Marques 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hi all, For quite some time I've been struggling with a problem which wasn't easy to spot, at least for me. Banshee 2.1.0 drops ndesk-dbus-glib and uses now dbus-sharp-glib. The Project config for Factory (and others) has a prefer entry for ndesk-dbus-glib, and this will kill Banshee for sure. Thanks to darix I found out we could override this with an entry "#!BuildIgnore: ndesk-dbus-glib". I'm just wondering if that 'Prefer' on the Project Config has a special reason for being there? This is just pure curiosity, I don't mind having the spec to ignore it. Thanks in advance, NM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Status update on systemd for Factory
by Frederic Crozat 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

Hi all, here is a update on the work done on systemd for Factory : (beware, email is long !) - basic support for systemctl in chkconfig and insserv is done : it is pending review by maintainer before integration - support for --root in systemctl was merged upstream and will be used by chkconfig/insserv patches above. - a patch has been submitted to upstream systemd to parse insserv.conf : this patch only handle the "system facility" part of insserv.conf and automatically adds depencies specified in the file - quick investigation on Yast2 to adapt runlevel editor for systemctl support : we really need help from other people, as I don't have any knowledge of Yast internal and it seems the yast dbus client part might be missing some parts, needed for runlevel editor to talk with systemd. - no work on /usr as separate partition : it is not a systemd issue in itself but from other programs which might be using data from /usr before /usr is available. The best solution would be to mount /usr from initrd => help needed !! - (open)SUSE is using unofficial LSB target named $ALL which is supposed to put services requiring it at the end of the boot sequence (or at the beginning of shutdown sequence); After discussing with upstream : on a static boot system (sysvinit), it is easy to resolve such dependencies, but it isn't on a dynamic system (systemd). There is a ugly hack to handle that (creating a ALL.target file which is starting after default.target is done) but it would be probably better to just fix the 4 initscripts which are still using $ALL ( amazon-late, stoppreload, Susefirewall2_setup and vboxes). I'll open bug for them. - X-Interactive support in systemd is not working properly : it will only work before getty is started and is broken if you try to start a service after boot. We need to transition packages which are still using X-Interactive to systemd-ask-password (which takes care of the async conversation). Only two packages need to be ported : * apache2, when querying password for SSL certificate : apache allows to start a script to handle the password request. We only need to * openvpn : this one is a bit complex because we can either write a daemon which would do the interface between systemd and openvpn management interface or we can try to patch openvpn to have a similar feature as apache and get this patch upstreamed. The latter has the preference of systemd upstream. For both packages, help is welcome. For compability with sysvinit, support for <interactive> from /etc/insserv.conf in systemd was not added, so we could remove X-Interactive from openvpn/httpd sysvinit scripts but still have the function when booting from /sbin/init, thanks to /etc/insserv.conf list. - /etc/init.d/kbd was not handled properly : this should be fixed in Factory today or tomorrow, with systemd taking care of setting up keyboard properly. However, we might need to improve /etc/sysconfig/keyboard parsing in systemd. More tests are needed (and of course, help is welcome). As you can see, we still have some work to do, but we need everybody help : either on the issues I mentioned (feel free to say "I want to help on this" here) or to do more tests or even to start creating .service files (but we still need to fix the issues listed above). Thanks everybody for your attention. I would be great if we could get the ball moving and maybe get one of the next Factory milestone be a "systemd" test release but to reach this point, we need YOU ! -- Frederic Crozat <fcrozat(a)suse.com> SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] The road to systemd for openSUSE 12.1
by Frederic Crozat 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Hi all, systemd is coming for next openSUSE (12.1) scheduled next fall. I'll help for systemd integration in openSUSE Factory[1] and will act as an interface between you (openSUSE testers, packagers, developers) and systemd upstream. As you might guess, switching boot manager is not a trivial task and issues will be found. So, we want to have as much feedback and testing as possible, to try to tackle as much (if not all) issues in time for 12.1. Here is our action plan, in several phases: * phase 1: detecting current issues with systemd. Install systemd package and "manually" boot with it, by adding "init=/bin/systemd" at you kernel boot command line. In this setup, we want to find ALL the issues caused by switching to systemd, so please, check systemd on Factory status page[2] and follow the instructions there to fill bug reports. We also want to ensure there is no regression, when using legacy sysvinit initscripts with systemd as boot manager. * phase 2: systemd-sysvinit package installed by default and replace sysvinit. * phase 3: providing systemd unit files to replace legacy sysvinit initscripts: this is a huge task which won't be completed before openSUSE 12.1, but it can be parallelized among a lot of people (ideally, each packager should be able to create unit systemd file). And we should also split this effort in manageable milestones : * phase 3.1: GNOME and KDE live CDs should only use "native" systemd, without any sysvinit involved * phase 3.2: installed system using GNOME and KDE live CDs be a "native" systemd (this involves testing additional paths in live installer) * phase 3.3: install from DVD for GNOME and KDE should be "native" systemd Of course, providing systemd unit file should not be a pure "openSUSE" task, because the ultimate goal for those files is to be cross-distribution and merged in relevant upstream projects. And we also don't want to duplicate effort which is starting in other distributions like Fedora, so, collaboration is key. I strongly recommend reading systemd for Administrators, Part III[3] post about the conversion (and also all other posts : systemd for Administrators #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7,#8 they are highly instructive[4]). For discussing / helping with systemd integration for Factory, please use opensuse-factory mailing list or go to #opensuse-factory IRC channel on Freenode. We need your help to make sure openSUSE 12.1 will use systemd at 200% ;) [1]http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Systemd [2]http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Systemd_status [3]http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-for-admins-3.html [4]http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-for-admins-1.html http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-for-admins-2.html http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-for-admins-3.html http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-for-admins-4.html http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/three-levels-of-off http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/changing-roots.html http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/blame-game.html http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-new-configuration-files -- Frederic Crozat <fcrozat(a)suse.com> SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Port Camino to KDE?
by Roger Luedecke 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

There has been a lot of hubbub regarding the default browser. Firefox doesn't integrate completely with KDE, but renders best. Rekonq integrates fully, but isn't as good at rendering. For Mac OSX there is the Camino browseer which is essentialy Firefox built in the Cocoa framework so it integrates fully... what possibility is there for adapting Camino or its concept anyway to create a KDEcentric Gecko based browser? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hey Group; What is the error that 2 out of 3 (Desktop and Default} are telling me. The error is "FIBMAP - Ignored". I have never seen this on any system but openSuSE 12.1.

[opensuse-factory] New package hdjmod
by Matthias Bach 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Hi, I would like to introduce hdjmod to Factory. Hdjmod is a kernel module providing support for Hercules DJ Devices (USB MIDI device). The package has been available in Contrib for quite a while and is now in hardware. Having the will broaden the distributions hardware support. Sadly the package is not continuously developed upstream, but has been provided as is for openSUSE 11.1 by the hardware vendor (Hercules). I have since adapted the package to the newer kernels at each release. With this experience I am confident I can continue to maintain this package for many more releases, though it would of course be nice if somebody integrated this module into vanilla. ;) Below you'll find some additinal information on the package.

[opensuse-factory] using suse build service -- supposedly easy -- doesn't work at all (can't even checkout a package or see avail distros)
by Linda Walsh 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Have had multiple people over the years suggest I get an account on opensuse.org (have one), used to be on novell.com (maybe that's why there's a prob, it got ported/grandfathered rather than running some new account creation script?) (note, I and install packages via zypper/yast just fine, so I know it's not network settings). Used the same Username/pw as I did to log into the website. (wiki, bugzilla...etc) Anyway, told to try the osc command...everything suppose to be easy...nothing about creating a home dir...or such... but that's the deal...the place where such would exist on the webserver has no dir. So following the wiki instructions either don't work, (there is some step I'm missing that I am not seeing pointers to go do) or it doesn't work for old-timers who got ported from suse->opensuse... How do I get this fixed? Thanks! -linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

I downloaded and installed a > 2.6.39.2 (not -2) and it is working with NVidia stuff on an x86-64 machine. Hi Donn, I run openSUSE 11.4 64Bit with Tumbleweed kernel-desktop 2.6.39.2-34.1 with preload 1.2-67.30 and preload-kmp-desktop 1.2-k2.6.39.2_34.67.30. I have updated these recently but the symptoms were there for at least the last 2 updates if memory serves. I use the NVidia 260.19.44 driver compiled from source as I have a 7300 GS graphics card which exhibits compositing problems with the latest NVidia drivers and KDE 4.6.4 Regards Dave
