[opensuse-factory] problem after zypper dup

With any kernel built after the latest update, mkinitrd complains and the kernel does not boot. It hangs not finding init. Bug to follow.

Hi all, Any chance of getting Java 7 (Update 1, of course) into non-oss?

[opensuse-factory] Systemd Service % specifiers in ExecStart
by Dr. Werner Fink 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Hi, does anyone know how systemd.service(5): ExecStart= [...] Unless Type=forking is set, the process started via this command line will be considered the main process of the daemon. The command line accepts % specifiers as described in systemd.unit(5). On top of that basic environment variable substitution is supported, where ${FOO} is replaced by the string value of the environment variable of the same name. Also $FOO may appear as separate word on the command line in which case the variable is replaced by its value split at whitespaces. Note that the first argument (i.e. the binary to execute) may not be a variable, and must be a literal and absolute path name. will work ... currently it does not and a systemctl show kdm(a)tty7.service will cause [...] Type=forking Restart=no PIDFile=/var/run/kdm.pid NotifyAccess=none RestartUSec=100ms TimeoutUSec=1min 30s ExecStartPre={ path=/bin/echo ; argv[]=/bin/echo %p %P %I %n %N %f ; ignore=no ; start_time=[n/a] ; stop_time=[n/a] ; pid=0 ; code=(null) ; status=0/ } ExecStart={ path=/usr/bin/%p ; argv[]=/usr/bin/%p ; ignore=no ; start_time=[n/a] ; stop_time=[n/a] ; pid=0 ; code=(null) ; status=0/ } [...] also a systemctl start kdm(a)tty7.service with xdm@service linked to /etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants/kdm(a)tty7.service procduce: systemctl status kdm(a)tty7.service kdm(a)tty7.service - X-Window Display Manager kdm on tty7 (kdm(a)tty7.service kdm@tty7 kdm /tty7) Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/xdm@.service) Active: failed since Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:25:45 +0200; 10s ago Process: 3754 ExecStart=/usr/bin/%p (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Process: 3752 ExecStartPre=/bin/echo %p %P %I %n %N %f (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/kdm@.service/tty7 Werner -- "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr

[opensuse-factory] Flash Player 11 with 64 Bit for openSUSE 12.1
by Tim 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Hi, since Adobe seems to have officially commited to support 64 Bit it would be great if this version could end up in openSUSE 12.1. http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11.html This would not only fix the nspluginwrapper issues but also save quite some disk space and download traffic, since nearly no 32 bit libs would be needed anymore in a default installation. I know that this is still a Beta, but it is not the first, Flash Player 11 will be released eventually and it works quite stable for many people. And Flash is updated anyway after distribution releases so there shouldn't really be a problem releasing a Beta version. And if it is integrated soon in Factory there will be even more testing. Flash Player 11 also has a Gnome and KDE (I haven't tested it but there are files in the tarball for it) configuration plugin which might come in handy too.

[opensuse-factory] [obs submit-request 79431] openSUSE:Factory/php5: declined by saschpe Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
by Cristian Rodríguez 25 Aug '11

<https://hermes.opensuse.org/messages/11467025> (about update-alternatives php) > Comment: > Nope, same as last time: Why throwing away a working solution? Because it does not work, increases complexity and there is only one supported $MAJOR php version, 5.X the "pear" update alternatives part did some funny things sometimes linking the pear executable with the "php5" executable. >This is waiting for pain when php6 will come out one day. Well, the day PHP6 comes out we can introduce this layer again the codebase that was supposed to become PHP6 has been abandoned around a year ago..just FYI... > Or if it is decided to have php4 in Factory again (for whatever reason). In that case, move along, seriously, Im not going to invest any time supporting insane scenarios. One version running correctly than a crazy ass mess to satisfy a few users. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Bugzilla vs. FATE post-Novell
by Felix Miata 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Having separate tracker DBs for bugs and enhancement requests drives me nuts. Often the difference is one of semantics that people don't agree on. Searching for existing this way is about 4 times as much work. Now that openSUSE has been divorced from Novell, is it not in the plans for it to have a separate bug tracker? If so, can enhancement requests be restored to the same DB, like Fedora, Kernel, KDE, Gnome, Mandriva, Freedesktop, Mozilla and other FOSS do? FWIW, this came up today because in conjuction with bug day I tried a follow up on https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700526. KPackageKit wanted to install 65 packages just because I asked it for flash-player. Zypper in flash-player only wanted 5, and only so many because I'd not yet installed Firefox with its mozilla-nss & mozilla-nss-certs that flash-player also requires and are usually already installed. So, I think KPackageKit ought to be made to obey /etc/zypp/zypper.conf's 'installRecommends = no', which I don't think appropriate to request of upstream KDE. To me it's a bug that all package manager UIs (YaST, Zypper, URPM, YUM, Smart, Aptitude, et al) don't rely on the same configuration settings, but knowing what I know about Novell's Bugzilla triage system I'd expect one filed there to be closed/FATE in short order. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] new package sendxmpp
by Vitezslav Cizek 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi, I'm introducing a new package to openSUSE:Factory. sendxmpp is a perl-script to send xmpp (jabber) messages, similar to what mail(1) does for mail. The project's homepage is http://sendxmpp.platon.sk/ It's using CVS for code management. The program has been around since about 2004. It's included in Fedora and Debian distributions. It's licensed under GPLv2. -- Vita Cizek

[opensuse-factory] dead link in text from http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/README.FIRST

Hello I found a dead link [1] in text from [2] Glenn [1] http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/Status [2] These ISO files are published automatically once a new snapshot finished. They haven't seen any kind of testing before publishing, so download on your own risk and cost. Most of the time they work, but there are times when they are broken - we try to update http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/Status as soon as we know about that. So visit (and edit if you reported a bug severe enough) http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Factory -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
