[opensuse-factory] kernel-desktop and kernel-desktop-base
by Kyrill Detinov 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

Hello. kernel-desktop-base-3.2.rc6 conflicts with kernel-desktop-3.2.rc6. Does it mean that I don't need kernel-desktop-base anymore and it is safe to remove version 3.1.0? x86_64 -- WBR Kyrill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Help with dir setup in /media
by Robert Schweikert 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

With 12.1 /media is now mounted as tmpfs. As I used to have a number of directories in /media (used as mount points for ISO images), I created the following script in /etc/tmpdirs.d to get the directories I want in /media -> cat /etc/tmpdirs.d/02_media mediaDirs=( os11332 os11364 os11432 os11464 os12132 os12164 sle10sp432sdk \ sle10sp464sdk sle11sp132sdk sle11sp164sdk sled1032 sled1064 \ sled10sp432 sled10sp464 sled11sp132 sled11sp164 sles1032 \ sles1064 sles10sp432 sles10sp464 sles11sp132 sles11sp164) for medDir in ${mediaDirs[@]};do test -d /media/$medDir || mkdir /media/$medDir done However, upon reboot the /media directory is empty, what am I missing? I am aware of the discussion of dropping /etc/tmpdirs.d (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2011-11/msg00057.html). However, the manpage for tmpdirs.d states /etc/tmpdirs.d supersedes /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d, also I think my custom files should go into /etc and not /usr/lib. Anyway, what is the best, and somewhat future proof, approach to this? As a side note, with the mounting of /media as tmpfs "umount /media" followed by the TAB key no longer auto-completes to any mounted filesystems/devices/loops etc :( . Is there a way to get the old behavior back?

Typical. xz is just a plain implementation of the LZMA algorithm.
