[opensuse-factory] Focusing on OpenJDK - Sun/Oracle JDK will not be in 12.1
by Andreas Jaeger 04 Sep '11

04 Sep '11

Up to now, openSUSE users had the choice of using openJDK (GPL with classpath exceptions) or Sun/Oracle's Java. The Sun/Oracle Java was licensed under the "Distributor's License for Java (DLJ)", which allowed Linux distributors to package and redistribute Sun/Oracle Java. Recently, Oracle announced [1] that openJDK 7 is the new official reference implementation for Java SE7. They no longer see the need for the DLJ licensed Java implementation and so have retired that license. openSUSE chooses to proceed with distributing the GPL licensed official reference implementation, openJDK. We will no longer distribute newer versions or updates of the now proprietary licensed Sun/Oracle JDK. Existing installations of the Sun/Oracle JDK are still licensed under the now retired DLJ. openSUSE users who wish to continue using the Sun/Oracle JDK (including new versions thereof and updates) should now download directly from http://www.oracle.com/java. For now we keep the current sun-java packages (under the DLJ license) in the Java:sun:Factory project and will not update them anymore. I suggest to document in the openSUSE wiki how to install the Sun/Oracle JDK version from Oracle under openSUSE.

[opensuse-factory] Gnome 3 poll
by Ilya Chernykh 04 Sep '11

04 Sep '11

This is a Gnome 3 poll with a large number of participants. http://translate.google.ru/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=ru&ie=UTF-… It seems the overwhelming majority does not like Gnome 3. I wonder why the creators of Gnome 3 did not conduct similar polls before. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] No Widget Folder View of Desktop on the Desktop
by Freek de Kruijf 04 Sep '11

04 Sep '11

Previously, also in openSUSE 12.1 M3, logging in for the first time in KDE in the user account, one gets a Folder View of the Desktop folder with some basic icons in it, like My Computer. This is no longer the case. Is this intentionally, an issue others have, or is it something only I see? After creation and changing its position, logging out and in again, the position is in the centre of the screen. Putting it in its intended position again, upper left corner, logging off and on, now it remains in that position. Others having the same issue? -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-factory] Segmentation fault in linker?
by Ilya Chernykh 04 Sep '11

04 Sep '11

After the most recent update a segmentation fault happens when building a package in OBS. This happens only for 64-bit build, the 32-bit build finishes well. The final output is as follows: libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "libhbciaccjobs.la" && ln -s "../libhbciaccjobs.la" "libhbciaccjobs.la" ) /usr/bin/xmlmerge -v --compact -o accountjobs.xml ./jobgetbalance.xml ./jobgettransactions.xml ./jobgetstandingorders.xml ./jobsingletransfer.xml ./jobsingledebitnote.xml ./jobinternaltransfer.xml ./jobeutransfer.xml ./jobmultitransfer.xml ./jobforeignxferwh.xml ./jobcreatesto.xml ./jobmodifysto.xml ./jobdeletesto.xml ./jobgetdatedxfers.xml ./jobcreatedatedxfer.xml ./jobmodifydatedxfer.xml ./jobdeletedatedxfer.xml ./jobloadcellphone.xml make[8]: *** [accountjobs.xml] Segmentation fault Full build log: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=x86_64&package=aqban… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Fresh 12.1 M5: Syslog does not start
by Vahis 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

There is nothing in /var/log/messages, and I found out that syslog daemon is not running. Trying to start it gives this error: /etc/init.d/syslog start returned 5 (program is not installed): I re-installed, no joy. I removed and installed syslog-ng, same result. The strange thing is that this same net-install image installed already another VM without this problem. Installations are completely plain default settings.
