[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

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. Does anyone can reproduce this error? -- Sincerely Yours Sascha Manns open-slx Community & Support Agent openSUSE Membership Comitee openSUSE Marketing Team Web: http://saigkill.homelinux.net German Community Portal: http://community.open-slx.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hey Folks; To let everyone know it turned out to be a bad shutdown that caused my flash problem. I was in /home/me/.mozilla/firefox in a file which I am going to track down.

[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
