[opensuse-factory] tuned
by denisart benjamin1 09 Oct '12

09 Oct '12

A replacement for laptop-mode-tools. "A tool that performs monitoring and adaptive configuration of the system according to selected profile. [...] Profiles contains various sysctl/sysfs settings and optionally a script that is run on profile activation/deactivation. This is called static tuning. We try to keep the database of tunings up-to-date with latest kernels. The profiles also contains settings for various tuned plugins that tune the system dynamically. Each plugin can connect to various sensors. Currently there are plugins for CPU, disk, ethernet and FSB. For example the ethernet plugin change the ethernet speed according to previous network load. System profiles are located in /usr/lib/tuned. You can create your own profiles that can also include and override settings from system profiles. Your custom profiles can be put into /etc/tuned and has higher priority in case of conflict. For details see man page of tuned.conf. You can also create your own profiles from powertop suggestions. For example if you want to create profile/my-profile/ that will implement all powertop suggestions that are relevant on your system run: powertop2tuned my-profile This command will create new profile in /etc/tuned/my-profile and will include settings from your previous profile. To be safe all tunings suggested by powertop are initially disabled. You can selectively enable them by going through /etc/tuned/my-profile/script.sh and uncommenting the appropriate lines. You can switch to this new profile by: tuned-adm profile my-profile" Laptop-mode-tools has some problems with systemd and will be at terms incompatible with opensuse. Tuned could be a great alternative to. I already work on this one and it works fine. Can I submit tuned on a devel repo like base:system, whose is developped laptop-mode-tools ? Best regards.

[opensuse-factory] VGA screen problem after download of 28 new xf86- input and video drivers
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 09 Oct '12

09 Oct '12

After last week download of 28 new xf86- input and video drivers my VGA mode was changed into 1289x1024 from my favorite 1024x768. Found nowhere a way to change my screen setup so I changed the mode 31a into 317. With this mode I found that everything seemed to work except kmail. In the message list the message of choice did not show in one color but showed three strong color which made reading the text in that line practically unreadable. Same as in the 31a mode, both 16 bit) as I found out later. The read messages in the message list faded away an could only made readable by going over the messages. Changes to mode 316 (15 bit) brought me a normal colored message list except it did not change the behavior of fading messages after reading them. Made a screen snapshot of this problem. Started sampling information about modes and screen resolution on the opensuse list and have gathered following information: I am running openSUSE 12.3 Milestone 0 (i586) Kernel: 3.6.0-rc7-1-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.9.2 "release 511") I have a 17" cathode monitor with following specs: Display Height 768 Max hor. freq. 61 Max vert. freq. 90 Min hor. freq. 31 Min vert. freq. 50 Resolution Height 768 Vert, freq. 76 Width 1024 lscpi tells me: VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter I have used and found the same problem with LXDE and Icewm as in KDE4 xrandr gives following info: Failed to get the size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 Default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x0mm 1024x768 76.0' My question, why was my screen mode changed after the new x86 drivers into a screen mode far out of the possibilities of the monitor and what is still missing in order to get a normal working kmail. By the way, life streaming videos are awfully discolored In 15 bit, show normal in 16 bit. -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 12.3 Milestone 0 (i586) Kernel: 3.6.0-rc7-1-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.9.2 "release 511") 21:03pm up 3:13, 3 users, load average: 2.48, 2.32, 2.36

[opensuse-factory] New package: ghc-rpm-macros
by Peter Trommler 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Dear Factory maintainers, My apologies if you see this twice, it seems my first message got stuck on the way to or at GMANE. SR #137039 submits ghc-rpm-macros from devel:languages:haskell to Factory. The package contains macros to support packaging of Haskell libraries and applications. It is based on Fedora's Haskell packaging guidelines and adapted to openSUSE. More Information can be found at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Haskell#RPM_Macros This is the first step to get Haskell into 12.3 (see FATE # 314446, https://features.opensuse.org/314446).

Hi there, I have stated the kernel in the title but that does not mean I imply is kernel's fault. on my system using a broadcom wireless device (which worked pretty well in the past) with the current factory (I got it via a zypper dup from a clean 12.2 install) stopped working... the module loads... the connection seems to be up the only thing is I see no networks. digging into I see grep eth1 /var/log/warn Sep 21 08:54:24 abbaton udevd[285]: seq 1823 '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:16.0/0000:03:00.0/net/eth1' killed Sep 21 08:54:25 abbaton NetworkManager[618]: <error> [1348214065.75959] [nm- device-wifi.c:2673] real_update_permanent_hw_address(): (eth1): unable to read permanent MAC address (error 0) plus the usual complains about not being able to scan...

[opensuse-factory] How can external disk be mounted so a ordinary user can write to the disk.
by doiggl＠velocitynet.com.au 06 Oct '12

06 Oct '12

Hello, I have an external drive formatted and attached at bootup. The /etc/fstab entry is this: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2 The problem is that a ordinary user cannot write to the disk , only root can. I am using opensuse 12.1 on this machine. Questions. -How can the disk be mounted so a ordinary user can write to the disk ? -What commands do I need to run to to do this, examples would be useful ?
