[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
by Mark Gray 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

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. (Tumbleweed is a great idea BTW -- many thanks for implementing it.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[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] LLVM 3 missing symbol
by Vincent Lejeune 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, when I build Mesa 7.11 rc1 for openSUSE Factory, I get the following error msg : undefined reference to `LLVMAddTypeName' Using objdump in all /usr/lib*/libLLVM* show me that such a symbol is not present (it might be in a mangled form nevertheless) A LLVMAddTypeName function is however in LLVMCore.c file, and in llvm-c/Core.h include file. I don't know if it's intended (LLVM3 API is constantly changing these days), could someone have a look ?

[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)
by Lars Müller 15 Jul '11

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.

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - errors about /var/lock/subsys startup from /etc/init.d/syslog
by Rob OpenSuSE 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

/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] ungifsicle issues
by Werner LEMBERG 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Folks, the ungifsicle package uses version 1.39, which has appeared in July 2003 (!). Today, the GIF patents have expired (since 2006), and the current version is 1.62 from April 2011. I thus suggest to remove ungifsicle completely, replacing it with a recent version of gifsicle which produces GIF images with a compression normally better by a factor 2.

[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?

[opensuse-factory] fltk 1.3
by Petr Gajdos 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

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. Missing busyboz forces the use of the online repo, or setup of a local mirror or some other concoction, which makes this process more cumbersome than it needs to be. It should be fairly easy to write a script that parses the boot descriptions provided with KIWI and to assure those packages are on the media. Thoughts/comments?

[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.
