[opensuse-factory] dmesg as regular user --> \xffffffba ???
by Cristian Rodríguez 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hi there ;) Strange issue here, every time I issue a "dmesg" as user, the output ends with \xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba\xffffffba (ad nauseum several lines more) cat'ing /var/log/messages does not result in this behaviour.. I wonder what the hell the system is trying to tell me =) Any pointers appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] tumbleweed + update conflict: patch:kdebase4-openSUSE == 4162
by Melchior FRANZ 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

My system gets regularly dup'ed to tumbleweed, and additionally updated to the latest patches. (Is that a bad idea?) For several weeks this worked very well, apart from some occasional problems that are always quickly resolved. Now for the first time I have a conflict since about a week. Nobody else seems to complain about it, which is suspicious for a local problem. The repos are configured like below. (I manually "zypper refresh" before updating, and I use "zypper dup" without "--from tumbleweed".) $ sudo zypper lr -d # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service --+--------------------+----------------------------+---------+---------+----------+--------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------- 1 | dbg_updates | openSUSE_debuginfo_updates | Yes | No | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/debug/update/11.4/ | 2 | debug | openSUSE_debuginfo | Yes | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/debug/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/ | 3 | nonoss | openSUSE_nonOSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/non-oss | 4 | packman | packman | No | No | 200 | rpm-md | ftp://packman.links2linux.org/pub/packman/suse/11.4 | 5 | packman-essentials | packman-essentials | No | No | 200 | rpm-md | http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Essentials | 6 | rpm | openSUSE | Yes | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss | 7 | srpm | openSUSE_src_OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.4/repo/oss | 8 | tumbleweed | tumbleweed | Yes | Yes | 9 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ | 9 | updates | openSUSE_updates | Yes | No | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.4 | And the conflict is this: Information for patch kdebase4-openSUSE: Name: kdebase4-openSUSE Version: 4162 Arch: noarch Vendor: maint-coord(a)suse.de Status: Needed Category: recommended Created On: Fri 18 Mar 2011 02:21:26 PM CET Reboot Required: No Package Manager Restart Required: No Interactive: No Summary: kdebase4-openSUSE: Updated sysinfo:/ artwork Description: The kio sysinfo:/ background was missing the new artwork, this is fixed by this update.

[opensuse-factory] Who keeps RF_KILLing my wireless?
by R. Tyler Croy 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

Something keeps toggling my damned wireless radio off and I'm trying to figure out what it might be, relevant parts of /var/log/messages: <https://gist.github.com/1129669> I've tested this on a number of networks and I can't quite pin down what might be killing the radio, but it seems to happen periodically whether I like it or not. FWIW I've tried this with a 3.0 kernel from Tumbleweed as well as a 11.4 (2.6.39) kernel, both exhibit the same behavior. Thoughts - R.

[opensuse-factory] define in project-config does not work?
by Ilya Chernykh 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

Hi! I have the following line in the project config: %define is_kde_kde3 1 Then in the spec file this is checked: %if 0%{?is_kde_kde3} > 0 ... %endif It seems that the package still builds as if the condition was not met. If to replace "%if 0%{?is_kde_kde3} > 0" with "%if 1 > 0 " the block under the condition runs. Any thoughts on how to make it work as intended? -- 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

[opensuse-factory] Yast2 crashes on startup with Qt from GIT
by Valentin Rusu 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hello, Please be advised that graphical Yast2 no longer starts on my system (OpenSuSE 11.4 /Tumbleweed). I'm a KDE dev so: - I have Qt and KDE running from sources, - all distribution KDE packages are uninstalled, - the paths are adjusted as to load first my compiled Qt and KDE binaries. I have several core dumps on my system showing that y2controlcenter crashed, but I think they're not very useful as there are no debug symbols on my system for yast and the command zypper search debug | grep yast show that these packages are not available. How can I help to get this sorted out? Valentin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Problems installing M3: LVM and black screen during boot
by Bruce Cran 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi, I tried installing Milestone 3 but ran into a few problems. The first is with LVM: telling the installer to use LVM and then using the defaults resulted in an error as it prepared the disks. Should using LVM be working? I then retried using traditional partitioning and found that when the kernel rebooted I was left with a black screen with a cursor in the top-left corner. Powering off and booting again didn't help. Is there some logging I could enable to diagnose the problems? I also noticed a sentence that could perhaps be better worded in the Help window during installation: "However, the system then can be in an inconsistent or unusable state" - it might be better with "... system can then ...". -- Bruce Cran -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
