[opensuse-factory] KDE menus and gitorious
by Cristian Morales Vega 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

I created a merge request for desktop-data three weeks ago. It's just a minor patch that doesn't really fix anything but a warning from kbuildsycoca4. I'm not sure about how Gitorious works, maintainers are supposed to notice the "1" in the merge requests section or they receive an email notifying it? And since I'm on it. Since I updated my 11.3 system to KDE to 4.5 the "inline" part of the menu is not honored... Expected behavior? Known problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Kernel for 11.4?
by Jeff Mahoney 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - Since technically we're in feature freeze for 11.4, I thought I'd put this out for discussion. Factory is currently using 2.6.36 which was released 3 weeks ago. Upstream versions tend to take about 10-11 weeks, on average, to release. The scheduled release for the first openSUSE RC is Jan 20. The scheduled release for the first RC is Jan 20. The typical development time for a kernel release, on average, is about 10-11 weeks. That puts the release of 2.6.37 around Dec 29 to Jan 12. That sounds like kind of a tight window, but the reality is that the differences in the later kernel RCs tend to be small and fix bugs. The "real" development happens in -rc1, which was released about two weeks ago. Later -rcs serve to stabilize the development that went into -rc1. So, the the feature freeze aspect of it will be a one-shot, when I update to -rc1. (Actually, I hardly ever update to -rc1 and instead use - -rc2 which tends to be more stable). I've already done the merge work for 2.6.37-rc1 since the master kernel always tracks the latest upstream. Xen is the lone exception, as it usually is, but Jan Beulich has been great about getting that completed shortly after I do the update. This time might be a little more difficult because much of the Xen code has been merged into the mainline kernel so there's some sorting out to be done. As far as testing goes, we're still early enough that we won't lose a lot of effort. I'd update Factory to 2.6.37-rc2 as soon as it is released upstream, which should be this week. Our usual corps of dedicated testers can dig in quickly. In my experience, though, the number of testers drastically increases around the RC1 release. I wish it weren't so, but it is. So revving the kernel now isn't likely to toss out a lot of testing. The biggest "feature" I'm going for is not having to backport fixes from 2.6.37. The BKL removal patches and the VFS scalability patches are going to improve performance on multicore systems. The removal of I/O barriers should also be pretty noticeable but I haven't had time to verify that yet. So, opinions? - -Jeff Features that are going into 2.6.37: - - The inode portion of the VFS scalability patches - - More BKL removal, including parts of the core kernel - - Block I/O can be throttled via cgroups - - Simple pNFS support - - In-kernel PPTP (tunneling) acceleration - - "Lazy" inode table creation for ext4 to allow faster fs creation - - Batched discard support, which allows the file system to advise the block layer to use the TRIM command. This allows online TRIMs, but is only implemented in ext4 so far. - - Xen dom0 support (mostly) - - The usual round of bug fixes. - - fanotify - - Block barriers have been removed[1] Drivers: - - Systems and processors: - Flexibility Connect boards - Telechips TCC ARM926-based systems - Telechips TCC8000-SDK development kits - Vista Silicon Visstrim_m10 i.MX27-based boards - LaCie d2 Network v2 NAS boards - Qualcomm MSM8x60 RUMI3 emulators - Qualcomm MSM8x60 SURF eval boards - Eukrea CPUIMX51SD modules - Freescale MPC8308 P1M boards - APM APM821xx evaluation boards - Ito SH-2007 reference boards - IBM "SMI-free" realtime BIOS's - MityDSP-L138 and MityDSP-1808 systems - OMAP3 Logic 3530 LV SOM boards - OMAP3 IGEP modules - taskit Stamp9G20 CPU modules - aESOP Samsung S5PV210-based Torbreck boards - - Block: - Chelsio T4 iSCSI offload engines - Cypress Astoria USB SD host controllers - Marvell PXA168/PXA910/MMP2 SD host controllers - ST Microelectronics Flexible Static Memory Controllers - - Input: - Roccat Pyra gaming mice - UC-Logic WP4030U, WP5540U and WP8060U tablets - several varieties of Waltop tablets - OMAP4 keyboard controllers - NXP Semiconductor LPC32XX touchscreen controllers - Hanwang Art Master III tablets - ST-Ericsson Nomadik SKE keyboards - ROHM BU21013 touch panel controllers - TI TNETV107X touchscreens - - Miscellaneous: - Freescale eSPI controllers - Topcliff platform controllher hub devices - OMAP AES crypto accelerators - NXP PCA9541 I2C master selectors - Intel Clarksboro memory controller hubs - OMAP 2-4 onboard serial ports - GPIO-controlled fans - Linear Technology LTC4261 Negative Voltage Hot Swap Controller I2C interfaces - TI BQ20Z75 gas gauge ICs - OMAP TWL4030 BCI chargers - ROHM ROHM BH1770GLC and OSRAM SFH7770 combined ALS and proximity sensors - Avago APDS990X combined ALS and proximity sensors - Intersil ISL29020 ambient light sensors - Medfield Avago APDS9802 ALS sensor modules - Basic, memory-mapped GPIO controllers - Intel Topcliff GPIO controllers - Intel Moorestown/Medfield i2c controllers - IDT CPS Gen.2 SRIO RapidIO switches - Freescale i.MX DMA engines - ARM PrimeCell PL080 or PL081 DMA engines - Cypress West Bridge Astoria controllers - USB ENE card readers - Asahi Kasei AK8975 3-axis magnetometers - OLPC XO display controller devices - Analog Devices AD799x analog/digital converters - Winbond/Nuvoton W83795G/ADG hardware monitoring chips - Flarion OFDM usb and pcmcia modems - Maxim MAX8952 and MAX8998 Power Management ICs - National Semiconductors LP3972 PMIC regulators - Broadcom BCM63xx hardware watchdogs - - Network: - Brocade 1010/1020 10Gb Ethernet cards - Conexant CX82310 USB ethernet ports - Atheros AR9170 "otus" 802.11n USB devices - Topcliff PCH Gigabit Ethernet controllers - Intel Topcliff platform controller hub CAN interfaces - Technologic Systems TS-CAN1 PC104 peripheral boards - SBE wanPMC-2T3E3 interfaces - RealTek RTL8712U (RTL8192SU) Wireless LAN NICs (replaces older rtl8712 driver) - Atheros AR6003 wireless interface controllers - Beeceem USB Wimax adapters - Broadcom bcm43xx wireless chipsets - - Sound: - Marvell 88pm860x codecs - TI WL1273 FM radio codecs - HP iPAQ RX1950 audio devices - Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 audio devices - Aztech Sound Galaxy AZT1605 and AZT2316 ISA sound cards - Wolfson Micro WM8985 and WM8962 codecs - Wolfson Micro WM8804 S/PDIF transceivers - Samsung S/PDIF controllers - Cirrus Logic EP93xx AC97 controllers - Intel MID SST DSP devices - - USB: Intel Langwell USB OTG transceivers - YUREX "leg shake" sensors - USB-attached SCSI devices - - Video4Linux2: remotes using the RC-5 (streamzap) protocol - Konica chipset-based cameras - Sharp IX2505V silicon tuners - LME2510 DM04/QQBOX USB DVB-S boxes - Samsung s5h1432 demodulators - Several new Conexant cx23417-based boards - Nuvoton w836x7hg consumer infrared transceivers - OmniVision OV6650 sensors - OMAP1 camera interfaces - Siliconfile SR030PC30 VGA cameras - Sony imx074 sensors - VIA integrated chipset camera controllers - -Jeff [1] This is because they were a very big hammer that had a reputation for killing performance.

[opensuse-factory] IPV6 privacy in openSUSE
by Andreas Jaeger 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

I wonder whether our IPv6 settings are the right ones after reading the following article (sorry, German only): http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/IPv6-Smartphones-gefaehrden-Privatsp… which references: http://www.heise.de/netze/hotline/IPv6-anonym-1100727.html We set use_tempaddr to 0 by default (disabling privacy extensions) and set it to 1 if enabled. The article advises to use 2. Background: By default (value 0) my IPv6 address will be derived from my hardware (macaddr) and therefore be the same independend how I connect to the internet. So, it's easy to track my computer... So, my proposal is to do the following two changes: * Use 2 instead of 1 in /etc/rc.d/boot.ipconfig for enabling the privacy extensions * Set IPV6_PRIVACY=yes in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl Any concerns with this change? Btw. here's an Ubuntu bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/176125 and Windows (since XP) is doing it the same way on desktops.

[opensuse-factory] Request for new project devel:languages:ocaml
by Andrew Psaltis 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Objective Caml (OCaml) [1] is a multiparadigm language in the ML family of languages. OCaml is itself already in the openSUSE distribution, located in devel:languages:misc. I have located three other packages that use it: - lablgtk2 (in devel:languages:misc) - ocaml-facile (in KDE:Distro:Factory) - unison (in network) I have recently submitted a large patch to the ocaml package in devel:languages:misc, and I have 25 other OCaml library packages in my home project, accumulated over the last several months [2]. Upon approval, I will submit them there, excluding camlimages, which currently has a build problem on 64-bit architectures. Since there are already a large number of OCaml packages in Fedora, I have modified various spec files from there when packages from there already exist. Those that were derived from fedora are marked as such. The Fedora Contributor License Agreement [3] permits users to re-license them as seen fit. All spec files are placed under the MIT license, unless there was already a license upon them (as was the case with the ocaml package, which came from SUSE itself). As for packaging guidelines, I have attempted to follow those specified by the Fedora project [4]. As such, they tend to conform to whatever specifications that rpmlint uses. Furthermore, to ensure that inter-package dependencies resolve correctly, I have enabled the internal dependency generator on builds that were on openSUSE distributions before the current Factory build. Doing such enables features that essentially match what ocaml.attr does in RPM 4.9. ~Andrew [1] http://caml.inria.fr/ [2] https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home:NaCl:ocaml [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Licenses/CLA [4] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:OCaml

[opensuse-factory] deprecation of xulrunner packages
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi, because xulrunner as a stable platform is basically dead with Mozilla's new rapid release cycle we more or less need to remove the packages from Factory. This includes: mozilla-xulrunner192 mozilla-xulrunner20 Version 2.0 is already out of upstream support while 1.9.2 will live for some more weeks (not exactly sure for how long). According to OBS the following packages are still depending on these: mozilla-xulrunner192: google-gadgets libgluezilla0 libreoffice libreoffice-bootstrap libreoffice-components libreoffice-libs-extern moonlight moonshine mozilla-xulrunner20: PackageKit bundle-lang-gnome-extras chmsee icedtea-web libproxy-plugins rhythmbox There are probably only JS engine consumers (libproxy-plugins?) which should have a replacement already in Factory with the js package? Then there are NPAPI only consumers I guess which just need some header files? What else do those packages need? That's important to me to find out what exactly we need to provide in Factory to be able to remove the full xulrunner packages. Also if some package is missing in the above list for whatever reason, please let me know.

[opensuse-factory] Integration of firewalld?
by Vincent Untz 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hi, I wonder: did anybody look at integrating firewalld (a firewall service daemon with D-BUS interface managing a dynamic firewall), or proposing a similar dbus API for what we have? I'm starting to see some applications making use of the dbus API, and it does improve user experience to have that. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD/ https://fedorahosted.org/firewalld/ Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] inconsitent logfile permissions, logrotate
by Ruediger Meier 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi, today I've noticed inconsistencies with logfile permissions and logrotate which leads me to think about a feature request. For example /var/log/localmessages seems to be created at installation time with 0644 root:root But the first log rotation changed this to 0640 and my users complained about that. The permission change is caused by /etc/logrotate.d/syslog: .... /var/log/warn /var/log/messages /var/log/allmessages /var/log/localmessages /var/log/firewall /var/log/acpid /var/log/NetworkManager { [...] create 640 root root [...] } So there are at least two places where these permissions are defined, one at installation time and the other in /etc/logrotate* Since "man logrotate" says: create mode owner group [...] Any of the log file attributes may be omitted, in which case those attributes for the new file will use the same values as the original log file for the omitted attributes. I would suggest to change logrotate config from "create 640 root root" to just "create" and to track these logfiles within /etc/permissions* too. This would make things more generic, simple and consistent. What do you think? cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

I'll have to try the hwinfo. I did set up the modem through Yast2, but even if I didn't or did it incorrectly, wouldn't wvdialconf still find it?

by Olipro 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi, I see someone else made a post back in May about this and I was wondering if anything came of it since; This daemon is sadly disabled by default in 11.4 which results in /dev/random having very little available entropy at all and thus anything that uses /dev/random for key generation will tend to stall for inordinate amounts of time, especially on systems that are only running from the commandline, for example, I have occasionally seen DNSSEC tutorials for openSUSE which use /dev/urandom - something that I think is just insane, but most likely a result of nothing being available to fill the entropy pool. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Coming change: PulseAudio configuration enforced by default
by Vincent Untz 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi, For a while now, it has been possible to enable/disable PulseAudio by setting the PULSEAUDIO_ENABLE variable in /etc/sysconfig/sound and by calling the setup-pulseaudio helper. However, by default, there was no such PULSEAUDIO_ENABLE variable in /etc/sysconfig/sound (fillup wasn't called), and on new installs, this setting was not propagated to various files. This resulted in no real enforcement of the PA configuration. I'm fixing this, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707703 for a small discussion. With the fix, when the pulseaudio package is installed/updated, relevant configuration files are updated based on the PULSEAUDIO_ENABLE setting. This might impact people who either had a customized sound configuration for PulseAudio (ie, PA disabled for, say, libao but enabled for alsa), or for people who had manually disabled PulseAudio with just the setup-pulseaudio helper: PULSEAUDIO_ENABLE will be set to "yes" if it's not already defined, and that will forcefully enable PA everywhere. The solution is to edit /etc/sysconfig/sound and set PULSEAUDIO_ENABLE to either "no" (which means "don't use PulseAudio") or "custom" (which means "do not touch the PulseAudio-related configuration). This should also get mentioned in release notes for 12.1. What's the best way to make sure this happens?

[opensuse-factory] Problems with Tumbleweed Kernel
by Sascha Manns 26 Jul '11

Hello Mates, since two times (?) i have trouble after updating the Tumbleweed Kernel. After finishing the Update i make a reboot. Then after the reboot the first and second part of GRUB starts. But after choosing the new Kernel i''m getting the black screen of GRUB. Just after a manual adding of the root device in /boot/grub/menu.lst he comes up. But if the next updates i must each time manual hack the menu.lst i think it's too much work.

[opensuse-factory] Header-only or "safe" ffmpeg package
by todd rme 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

A number of multimedia-related libraries and programs have a soft dependency on ffmpeg, which they can make use of for various tasks. These libraries and programs need to be built against ffmpeg to have this capability. I was told that there might be either a version of ffmpeg that only includes headers or one that is stripped down and "safe" to use from a legal perspective available somewhere in openSUSE. I was hoping to see if these could be used for building these packages. Does anyone know if there is either a header-only or safe version of ffmpeg available and, if so, where? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello all, I'm using tumbleweed and would like to install virtualbox, however it depends on virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop version 4.0.4_k2.6.37.1_1.2-1.6.1 which in turn depends on kernel-desktop-base version 2.6.37.6-0.5.1. However tumbleweed has kernel-desktop version 2.6.39.3-37.1 which means I'd need to downgrade my kernel to use virtualbox. Could tumbleweed provide a version of virtualbox for the newer kernels?

[opensuse-factory] python/Linux 3 incompatibilities
by todd rme 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

It looks like a number of Linux-specific python modules are not being built with Linux 3. There is a fix for the 2.7 branch available, but I don't know if it will be making it into the version that openSUSE will be shipping with openSUSE 12.1. If not, I would strongly consider including them, since breaking Linux python interfaces seems like a pretty serious problem. The problem also exists with python 3.x, so it would probably need to be included there as well.

[opensuse-factory] Mesa 7.11 RC1 released : where to submit ?

Hi, Today is Mesa 7.11 first release candidate released. I packaged it, however I don't know where to submit it. I highly doubt that X11:XOrg is the right repository, because it contains only stable versions. However OpenSUSE:Factory seems to branch its X11 related package from it... I would like Mesa 7.11 RC1 to appear for next Milestone, as Mesa 7.11 is a major milestone of Mesa project. Lots of performance improvements and bug fixes over 7.10 are expected ; on the other hand, it might break things (as usual when there are big changes) If it can ship early in OpenSUSE developpement, more bugs could be reported upstream before final relase and won't have to wait for a minor revision to be fixed.

by Andi Sugandi 20 Jul '11

Hi Mates, I ask this question ($Subject) because when I hit 'Clear Now' button*, then reboot the netbook, reinitialize the 'Mobile Connection', so fortunately this bug** does not ocurre. *) https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/iQerM455rFwYKn1YlVfldA?feat=directlink **) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673944 I was uisng Firefox 4 when this bug occurred for the first time, and now I'm using Firefox Beta-channel, and the issue still happens if I does not regularly clear the cache. I will try later to enable 'Override automatic cache management' to lower than 8 MB to see the limitation the system can really be stable and does not meet the bug. > rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n%{VENDOR}\n%{DISTRIBUTION}\n" MozillaFirefox MozillaFirefox-5.99-5.1 obs://build.opensuse.org/mozilla mozilla:beta / openSUSE_11.4 > cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) VERSION = 11.4 CODENAME = Celadon So, what exactly my bug relate to? Firefox or Base-system? What other log(s)/info should be filled to confirm this estimation?

[opensuse-factory] kernel oopsies with tumbleweed and USB disks

I've had a couple issues with the 2.6.39.* kernels and my USB encrypted disk as of late. I'm not sure where to report issues like this, so I'll try here first :) I had this one a few days ago, which caused me to perform a hard-shutdown since the kernel was entirely unresponsive to subsequent commands: [10442.616391] usb 1-1.4: USB disconnect, device number 6 [10680.476108] INFO: task umount:6641 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

This is just too good not to be exploited in 12.1, fixes a very long standing annoyance since (7.1?) when Online Kernel update was introduced, IMO this ought to be the distro default. Thanks for the Lizard page to documenting it. So I've put in a feature request - "Preserve Running Kernel On Kernel Update by Default" https://features.opensuse.org/312647 Hopefully there'll be support for it, so this edit to /etc/zypp/zypp.conf becomes uncessary on almost every install. # multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) The latest/running worked for me so far using factory adding kernels from the Kernel Team HEAD & stable repos, if you want a guinea pig to try it on my Tumbleweed install, I'd be very happy to do so.

[opensuse-factory] HAL and related
by Ilya Chernykh 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

First of all I want to ask whether hal will be available under 12.1 or it is to be decided? My second question is as follows. As you know, hal is depreciated and people who prepare 12.1 want to remove dependency on hal from different packages. For instance they want to remove it from kdebase3-runtime which will be included in 12.1. But hal is necessary for normal function of KDE3 so we, who use KDE3 as a desktop want hal functions to be enabled. That's why my question. Is it possible to build a package with hal if hal is available in the repository and without hal otherwise? How to properly organize the check on whether the package exists in the repo at the buildtime? Or may be another solution based on an option constant defined in the project's properties is better? -- 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 (mid July)
by Frederic Crozat 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi all, it has been two weeks since the latest status, so here is a new update on the systemd status on Factory : - nobody has yet tested how install and firstboot reacts with systemd. We definitively need tests on that and some expertise on how the install process work to fix it. - basic support for systemctl in chkconfig and insserv : DONE (waiting review by maintainer) - a patch has been submitted to upstream systemd to parse insserv.conf : DONE and MERGED UPSTREAM - Yast2 support for systemd : need help from people in Yast team - /usr as a separate partition : the solution is to mount /usr from initramfs. One of our initramfs guys thinks it can be done but it needs more investigations. This work would also resolve /usr issues for sysvinit boot. - $ALL will not be supported by systemd : opened bug report for the various users : SuSEfirewall2_setup (bnc#696902), suse-ami-tools (bnc#705502), stoppreload (not sure it is worth opening a bug, since systemd takes care of readahead), vboxes (bnc#705505) - X-Interactive support in systemd is not working properly : it would be nice to get it fixed upstream but nobody is working on it (help welcome of course). - openvpn and apache2 are both relying on X-Interactive : packages using systemd ask-password service have been done (available on home:fcrozat:systemd project), they are waiting testing and review from maintainers. - startup console is getting mixed up (if you disable quiet) : it is caused by agetty from latest util-linux package. Fortunately, it is fixed in upstream git, thanks to Werner Fink, so next upstream release will fix it. - console keyboard configuration might not be working properly : currently, systemd is parsing /etc/sysconfig/keyboard but isn't doing all the various (and sometime scary) commands /etc/init.d/kbd is doing. We need to fix this (volunteers ? ) - somebody showed me a nice systemd integration in gfxboot, where you will be able to choose between SysV and systemd (and even direct shell) by using function keys in graphical grub interface. Look at Factory in a few days ! - I've added some info on how to get some debugging for systemd, on the wiki (changes are pending review ATM) - RPM macros are progressing : * we have a set of initial macros working fine, but after discussing with some people, we might enhance the suse implementation to automagically handle legacy initscripts (this part will not be pushed upstream) * the way to handle migration from sysv initscript to systemd service files might still need some work. If we could avoid triggers, it would be best (because we should avoid triggers and with OBS, it is very difficult to get them working properly) * macros are still sitting on systemd package but the plan is to move them on rpm package when they'll be stable enough In short, things are going in the right direction but we are not done yet and we really need your help : either on the issues I mentioned (feel free to say "I want to help on this" here or on #opensuse-factory) or to do more tests or even to start creating .service files (but we still need to fix the issues listed above). (I'll be off until end of July (which means no systemd hacking, before you ask ;) but it should stop anybody to contribute on systemd ;) Thanks everybody for your attention. -- 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] GeForce 8600 GT-all outputs disconnected in 12.1M3
by Felix Miata 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

This card has two external DVI ports. It may or may not have internal connectors for VGA output, but even if it does, I have nothing to connect them to. The motherboard has one i915G video port, which the BIOS treats as non-existent due to the presence of the 8600 GT PCIe card. Xorg.0.log claims there is VGA1 & VGA2 as well as DVI0 and DVI1. With no xorg.conf file, X works using nv driver, but stuck at 96 DPI. When I try to use an xorg.conf file, copied from a different (11.4) system with onboard Intel video and a Radeon PCIe card, (edited from radeon driver to nv driver in 'Section "Device"') so as to customize DPI, X always fails to start. My last try used http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.conf-nv-gx28b-all-outputs-disconnec… and produced http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-gx28b-nv-all-outputs-disconne… which reports all output ports as disconnected. Other editions of xorg.conf just produce other types of errors, like no device found or no screens with usable configuration. Can anyone see what it will take to fix this problem? Or is this just an Xorg/NV bug in Factory? I don't have this problem using ordinary onboard Intel video on other systems, and this dual DVI-only is the only recent NV chip gfxcard I have. I tried booting using a DVI to VGA adapter. That only works until X starts. The screen blanks and the OS hard locks starting runlevel 5.

[opensuse-factory] Any chance of adding Realtek RTL8111/8168B Driver to Factory/Tumbleweed?
by Mark Gray 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

It is a funny thing, but I have three Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controllers -- two of them work quite well with the r8169 driver, but one started getting so many framing errors using that driver that I was forced to download the r8168 driver that Realtek wrote from their website. It works perfectly, but I notice that it still is not included in the 3.0.rc6-2.2 kernel. It would be great to have it officially available from openSUSE as soon as possible since there are a lot of other people having problems using the r8169 driver with this chipset. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed breaks zypper's nfs:// repo uri's

For some reason after using zypper dup to switch to Tumbleweed, all my nfs:// repo uri's no longer work -- zypper just gives an error message: Failed to mount x2:/SDB2/ARK/Tumbleweed/standard on /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000001: Unable to verify that the media was mounted This is _not_ a big problem for me, since nfs works perfectly well, so I am able to work around the problem by mounting the remote file system before running zypper and using a dir:// uri instead, but I was wondering if I am the only one to have run into the problem.

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Virtualbox policy and Thunderbird
by Tim 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, I have read some time ago that Virtualbox was removed from Tumbleweed because of the not so easy maintainable kernel source. If Virtualbox doesn't support the Tumbleweed Kernel version out of the box it is fine that Virtualbox isn't compiled in Tumbleweed but if it does support it the effort can't be that high I suppose? So isn't it possible to ship the Virtualbox kernel module as soon as it is supported from the vendor? In general I would prefer something like DKMS for openSUSE. It is stupid that a kernel version is "hardcoded" in one version while the sources are available and other Kernels are supported. With DKMS we wouldn't have the problem now I suppose. Anyway this is another issue, not a Tumbleweed one. A MozillaThunderbird 5 upgrade with the compatible Enigmail would be great. It is already in factory.

[opensuse-factory] I'm a user, and I don't want systemd
by Joe User 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Users who want systemd can choose it during install. But it's too big a change to be the default choice. I don't want to change, until it's been proven and polished for several years. I'm also opposed to dumping everything into /usr. I *like* having /bin vs. /usr/bin, /lib vs. /usr/lib, and /sbin vs. /usr/sbin. If you need shared read only mounts for executables, then improve mount and/or the kernel so you can easily mount multiple paths all at once, to the same device. Don't force your organizational prejudices on me. I'm a user, and I want what I want. Question is, do you want users, or not? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Samba going 3.6.0 (rc2)

15 Jul '11

Hi, today we requested to get Samba 3.6.0 rc2 into openSUSE Factory. There are big changes coming with this release. As a curious user willing to know what's going on you have several information sources available: a) WHATSNEW.txt available from the samba-doc package in /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/ as soon as you install from network:samba:TESTING or online at http://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/rc/WHATSNEW-3-6-0rc2.txt b) The package change log as available from rpm. There you find references to bugzilla.samba.org (bso) reports as to those filed at bugzilla.novell.com (bnc). Please check http://en.openSUSE.org/Samba for general information on Samba as part of openSUSE and a bug reporting how to. To make contribution easier possible in the future, we're currently in the process to migrate the SUSE Samba package sources preparation to a similar way as the SUSE kernel is maintained.

/var/lock is tmpfs and looks like nothing makes /var/lock/subsys which is used by (at least) /etc/init.d/syslog to detect whether earlysyslog has been run already for instance. There may be other structural directories missing. The messages appear on console, but are easiest seen if you boot into runlevel 2, very easy to miss on 5 especially with preload errors.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Conference registration open!
by Jos Poortvliet 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

The organization team is excited to announce that the registration for the openSUSE Conference, from September 11 to 14 in Nürnberg, is now open. Head over to our registration form and register to help us plan for a great event! http://bit.ly/r2mxGN Preparations Two months from now the openSUSE and SUSE Labs Conference will kick off in Nuremberg, Germany. That means, as flights don’t get cheaper, you have to start planning your days off, your trip, hotel and send in a talk while the CfP is still open! Hotel The openSUSE conference team has made a list of hotels where you can book your stay for the duration of the conference. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_hotels It is recommended to use these hotels as they will not only have fellow geekos in them but are also for special conference prices and not too far from our location, Zentrifuge. Financial travel support For some of you, the trip to Nuremberg is financially not easy. You might be a student, or have to fly in all the way from India. We know that very well and you can count on an announcement of the what and how of travel subsidy soon. We will do everything we can to ensure our community members from far away or on low budget are also able to come and join us! Visa Another important thing to think of in time is access to Europe/Germany. We have a standard invitation letter you can get from us on request. For that, send a mail with some personal details (who you are, what you do for openSUSE, what you will do at the conf, that stuff) to opensuse-conference(a)opensuse.org and the team will send you one. Registration Registering makes sure there’s a badge for you at the conference, you won’t have to wait in line for us to create one for you on the spot. It’ll also make sure you are able to go on the wifi and we have a place for you at the party. And of course it allows us to plan better so it matters a lot that you register as soon as possible if you intend to come! http://bit.ly/r2mxGN Please note that for the registration, you don’t have to create an account. Last but not least, there is an option between two different tickets. Entrance is free for all but those who want to support the conference and can afford it can buy a professional ticket. For $350 or €250 you get, besides access to the conference, a networking dinner with the speakers and other professional ticket holders as well as a session with SUSE Product Management. Helping Out Meanwhile, the conference team is welcomes all the help it can get! If you want to get involved and help us make the openSUSE conference the best ever, please subscribe to the team mailinglist: opensuse-conference(a)opensuse.org and checkout the planning page.

[opensuse-factory] 12.1 M2 and Lotus Notes
by Andreas.C.Klein＠physik.uni-wuerzburg.de 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

Hi, I just installed 12.1 M2 on my Lenovo W520. I experienced some issues with the Notes Client. Installation of Notes 8.5.2FP2 went fine, but there are two problems: - To get "normal" colours in the menu-bar you have to start gnome-settings-daemon first. This problem exists for all gtk-based applications when you are using fvwm as window manager. - The getting started tab is displayed correctly. The Home, Workspace and Replication and Sync tab are simply grey. In the mail-view the subject line of each mail is visible, but the preview pane stays empty. When opening an email in a new tab, the view isn't refreshed. You will still see the picture of the previous active tab. Switching to another desktop and back again leaves you with an all grey image on the mail tab. I use this notesversion without problems on 11.1-Evergreen and SLED11. On both releases I also don't need to start the gnome-settings-daemon to get firefox, pidgin, notes ... displaying "normal" menus when using fvwm. I also noticed, that tapping with the touchpad is possible with KDE. Using fvwm I have to start gsynaptics to use tapping. Using network manager and fvwm seems to be no good idea. I tried to start nm-applet, but it didn't work. Is this supposed to work with fvwm, or just with gnome?

Hi all, I have just submitted fltk 1.3 into factory. As soon as it will be accepted and propagated into factory, there will arise several build failures there: packages ZynAddSubFX, xdiskusage, prozgui and alsamixergui. I provide fltk13.patches for them which should fix these build errors. Some of them are workarounds and I am sure their maintainers or upstream will see better solution. For fltk and prozgui submission for factory see request #76116 and request #76121 respectively. Requests #76117, #76118 and #76119 are for ZynAddSubFX, xdiskusage and alsamixergui against their devel projects. See home:pgajdos:fltk13 for details. Petr

[opensuse-factory] ISO image content
by Robert Schweikert 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

Hi, I've recently run across a problem while building an image with KIWI and using only the openSUSE 11.4 ISO image as repo. For certain image types (pxe and oem) KIWI requires busybox which is not part of the ISO and therefore the KIWI image build process fails when only using the ISO as a source repo. The KIWI boot image descriptions list the packages required for creation of the KIWI boot images, I think we should make sure that at least those packages are on the media. The reasoning is, that I think it is perfectly reasonable for someone who wants to spin their own image with only packages from the "standard" distro to expect that all those packages are on the media. Therefore, one would set up only the ISO image as a repo and create an image with KIWI.

[opensuse-factory] guile 2.0
by Petr Gajdos 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

Hi all, I am about to submit guile 2.0.1 into Factory if no one have any objections. It requires newer gc, I have chosen 7.2alpha6. gnucash will get updated to 2.4.6 by the way. gnome-games, trackballs and autogen packages wanted some small changes to build against new guile, I have named them %{name}-guile-2.0.patch. I am still working on lilypond, I hope I will finish it soon. See home:pgajdos:guile19x for details. Any comments? Petr

[opensuse-factory] oSC conference deadline extended, we want more interactivity!!!
by Jos Poortvliet 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Hi all, Let me start with the important part: =========== We want you to THINK MORE ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR WORK for this openSUSE conference. What do YOU want to accomplish? What does YOUR team need to talk about? What features should be finished? What decisions should be made? Use the conference for that! PLEASE SEND IN BoF PROPOSALS for oSC! They take no preparation and barely any work as 'leader' - it's just an informal get-together. Yes, you can do that over dinner too, but - nobody takes notes, lots of beer... A BoF is NOT any more formal than a dinner meet but it does ensure the participants are focussed on the discussion, not the food, and sober ;-) Sending in a BoF proposal ensures you get a room for 40 minutes with no strings attached. And you never know who suddenly shows up and happens to be willing and able to take on some work! Aside from BoF's, we love more workshops and hack sessions. How about a hack session to fix up one or two modules in YaST. Or fix some kernel bugs. Or get a bunch of perl updates packaged. Or, to get more people working on your stuff, a workshop "hacking on YaST". A workshop "porting your app from sysv to systemd"... Register your session here: http://bit.ly/nsycEP ============ About the oSC deadline: Last monday the deadline for the oSC CfP was extended. We had a fair number of submissions already but the "interactive" proportion of sessions wasn't what we hoped. I'm sure that's partially due to lack of clarity about what we want, so let me try to explain a bit here too. We want to get more 'work done' at oSC. And focus more strongly on openSUSE. The last conference had many non-openSUSE people and the results were great - but for openSUSE it wasn't what it could've been. Now many of us get together only once a year at the conf and we could do more than listen to talks, have dinner and drink beer. That's why we want more BoF sessions (essentially team meetings), workshops (eg teach to package better, or test, or ...) and hack sessions (get together and do work). Each of these sessions we'll try to explain more. The BoF was explained a few weeks ago [1] and today the workshop will get some attention [2]. Next week I hope to get something out on how to efficiently do a hack session. Be sure to read http://news.opensuse.org regularly and send in your proposals here: http://bit.ly/nsycEP Cheers, the CfP committee and the Conference team [1] http://bit.ly/lIzf5E [2] on http://news.opensuse.org around 17:00 EU time

[opensuse-factory] Related to read only mounted partitions like /usr
by Dr. Werner Fink 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi related to the systemd/sysvinit/udev problematic there is also the problem that currently zypper nor yast2 supports read only mounted partitions. It could be a win if zypper or yast would be able to detect that a path covered by a package is located on a read only mounted partition. For this I'd like to suggest an option to temporary remount such a partiton read/write during installation. This does not only help with old-fashion /usr partitons out there but e.g. also a read only mounted root file system with attached read/write mounted /tmp, /var, and maybe /etc partition, where the last one is mounted in the initramfs.

[opensuse-factory] Installing Factory-tested from NET iso
by Steven Sroka 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

This is probably a WONTFIX since probably not many people install openSUSE directly from factory-tested using the NET iso, but I do, so that I can look for Yast2 installer regressions. Anyway, during first boot for the past few days, I've been a dhcp error message and then boot hangs. This is right at the beginning of boot. <quote> Welcome to openSUSE 12.1 "Asparagus" etc. linux.site login : [<timestamp here>] dhcpcd[1032]: eth0: Failed to lookup hostname via DNS: Name of service not known. </quote> I have no issue downloading the packages from the openSUSE servers during install, but during boot I guess something can't connect to the internet. BTW, I'm using Systemd, I wonder if that is the problem..... I can send in a bug report, but since I'm using the factory-tested repo it might not be useful. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, the vmwgfx driver is becoming ready for testing ; this vmware written video driver is targeting virtualised system running on a vmware virtualisation tool. With the right Mesa gallium component, it enables 3D acceleration on virtualised guest, using host hardware (from windows or linux system). Is it possible to enable the kernel module for VMWGFX to be built ? It might help testing gnome-shell (with mutter ux) safely inside a vmware box.

[opensuse-factory] Some second thoughts on systemd/sysvinit/udev
by Dr. Werner Fink 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi to every one, I'd like to do some notes on the topic how become systemd or should I better say udev better integrated in the current system scheme regardless of the used init. First of all as already mentioned the real problem why e.g. old-fashioned /usr isn't supported as an own partition by systemd (or better systemd warns about such a fact) is that the rules expanded by udev do not know about dependency orders on boot passed through by systemd as well as by the traditional sysvinit. This will lead e.g. to problems for the faciltiy `$remote_fs' defined by LSB specs. To solve this problem the udevd should be able to understand the dependencies of the services provided by the boot scripts of sysvinit as well as the dependencies of the systemd service configuration files. It would be perfect that achieving such dependencies could be understood as events within udev rules. The question is how to expand and resolve e.g. the LSB dependency rules of traditional boot scripts or e.g. the systemd configuration files for udev. IMHO this would require at least also a notification for udev which could be done by systemd and for sysvinit within the main boot scripts or the startpar utility used by main boot scripts. Currently udevadm seems to be able to do this on base of devices.

[opensuse-factory] locking its deps no longer prevents replacement of FF3.6 with FF5
by Felix Miata 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

One might think this belongs in some other list because AFAICT FF3.6 is no longer available in 12.1. Nevertheless, those with the knowledge and the power to do anything should more likely see this than some post elsewhere. How is subject possible? I strongly object to UI changes that came about in FF4, and so enable the Mozilla repo and 'zypper al mozilla-xulrunner20 mozilla-js20' in 11.3, 11.4 & Tumbleweeds to prevent installation of FF post-3.6. This worked until about yesterday. Now FF5 installs anyway. How is one supposed to keep getting automatic upgrades from the 3.6 branch if locking out dep 20s doesn't work? Are required js and xulrunner now built into FF5 instead of it using support packages, like a static build? Also, shouldn't dup be required instead of up to get 3.6 branch replaced by 5.0 branch? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Packman package conflict - kopete, linphone, libmediastreamer - Need To Update Factory Packages?
by Rob OpenSuSE 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Have searched for some discussion of this on list, but didn't turn anything up recent (only things imply linphone version in distro, tends to be stale). The scoop as I see it is : OS 11.4 / Factory kopete 4.6 rpm - requires linphone 3.3, because of bundled lib libmediastreamer.so.0 Packman provides linphone 3.4, libmediastramer unbundled libmediastreamer (Mediastreamer 2?) provides libmediastreamer.so.1 (not sure if the .so.1 version reflects lib API change) This means zypper objects to having both Packman linphone & kopete on system, in general Packman Multi-media is desired to avoid necessary distro codec restrictions. Tumbleweed & Factory, offer kopete 4.6.5 & linphone 3.3 but no unbundled lib libmediastramer In general unbundling libraries seems like a good idea to avoid unwanted application dependency cycles, and Packman has built upgraded linphone & libmediastreamer packages, so that part ought not to be problematic. Fedora have a "No Bundling" policy, presumably it's discouraged in openSUSE for technical software engineering reasons (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Why_no_Bundled… explains). May be there's problems porting kopete to new version of libmediastreamer, or is it simply that some labour is required to update the linphone & libmediastramer packages? Anyone looked at this? It seems like an issue that ought to be sorted for 12.1. Whilst I'd be happy to try and build the package updates, I'm not the best person as currently I have NEVER used kopete or linphone nor submitted packages to Factory. Suggestions? Does it help to look into building kopete against updated linphone & libmediastreamer?

[opensuse-factory] Request to change MS6 to Beta
by Larry Finger 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

This is a request for changing the name of the MS6 release to Beta. The Testing Core Team (TCT) discussed the general problem of testing of new releases. With openQA, the probability that Factory iso's will boot and install is greatly increased; however, with the current system, many users do not start testing until RC1 is ready. As a result, there is very little time for detecting and fixing the bugs that will only be seen with a workload that is diverse. Such early testing will be particularly important for 12.1. Not only have we regularized the release schedule and naming scheme and need to follow through with a high-quality product, but we are behind due to the early build problems. The TCT considered several possible changes to entice earlier and broader testing. The schedule does not have much flexibility to increase the time between the RC1 and GM releases, thus we probably need to indulge in some 'social engineering' to get earlier testing. We could change from 6 Milestone and 2 RC releases to 5 and 3, respectively, without tampering with the total time. Alternatively, we could rename from MS6 to Beta. The TCT favors the latter option. It might mislead the users/testers a little regarding the quality of the offering, but we don't think calling MS6 "Beta" is misleading. By most definitions, Beta means feature-complete and free of huge bugs - we should be able to get that with MS6. A beta release should attract more users. In addition, many of us start full-time usage with MS5 or MS6, thus we know it to be usable for many people. Thanks for considering this proposal to further enhance the user experience and the quality of the final 12.1 release. This proposal is supported (in no particular order) by Larry Finger, Bernhard M. Wiedemann, Refilwe Seete, Holger Sickenberg, Jürgen Radzuweit, Bruno Friedmann, Ismail Doenmez, and Peter Czanik. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[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.

[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

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

[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
