[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 16 Jul '11

16 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 16 Jul '11

16 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.
