[opensuse-factory] GNOME3.6 for tumbleweed
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Greg, Not sure if you already received questions about GNOME 3.6 for tumbleweed, but I did some pre-staging work which hopefully helps you. the repository https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home:dimstar:GS36 builds against Tumbleweed and has (hopefully) all the things needed to get GNOME 3.6 integrated into Tumbleweed (It's mostly a copy of GNOME:STABLE:3.6; all those packages made their way also in Factory, which is a prerequisite for Tumbleweed). Do you have any particular integration tests you usually do? Expected fallouts: - Evolution API changes: anything building against evolution in TW is likely to break. - Issues with gstreamer 1.0 / 0.10: some apps happen to link (directly and indirectly) to gstreamer 0.10 and 1.0 at the same time (rhythmbox is an example doing so.. fixed in home:dimstar:GS36 of course). - glib did not have too intrusive changes, but it might still have a few fallouts (API strictness) - Not unlikely, other things have API changes which I do not remember about and am not fully aware of other things linking to it... If there is anything I can verify for you, please let me know.

[opensuse-factory] Heads up: problems with crypttab and LVM/mount by label
by Stefan Seyfried 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi all, I had two hours of fun getting my machine to boot again after todays update to FACTORY. * I mount my extra data partitions by label and they are on LVM * I have an old fashioned cryptohome (/etc/crypttab) Right now: * mount by label of LVM seems broken https://bugzilla.novell.com/789020 * cryptohome does not get mounted https://bugzilla.novell.com/789019 Also, I had to uninstall plymouth from "init=/bin/bash" and then mkinitrd, since it did not ask me for the passphrase and did not allow anything else to ask for the passphrasse, but I don't have enough information on that issue to file a bugreport and don't want to reboot my box now that it finally has booted and logged me in again ;-) The workaround for the mount by label problem was to replace "LABEL=/space /space ..." with "/dev/mapper/main-space /space" in /etc/fstab, the workaround for the cryptohome problem is to switch to VT1, log in and do a "mount /home", then switch back to X and log in via gdm. Good luck :-) seife -- Stefan Seyfried "If your lighter runs out of fluid or flint and stops making fire, and you can't be bothered to figure out about lighter fluid or flint, that is not Zippo's fault." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] syslinux / exelinux
by Jon Nelson 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

For a variety of reasons, I have tried grub, grub2, lilo, and now syslinux (extlinux, actually). In fact, I am quite happy with syslinux. It feels a lot like grub, without the huge config file (grub2) or the other issues I had with lilo. What would it take to get syslinux (extlinux, actually) support into yast2 or whatever as a supported bootloader? I am willing to do some coding. For me, a big benefit is that - once installed - it does not need to be run again even if the config file changes, as well as being fast and easy to use. -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] GNOME liveCD fails to boot with endless stream of dbus/avahi errors.
by Andrey Borzenkov 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

I tried to boot or install from openSUSE-GNOME-LiveCD-x86_64-Build0174-Media.iso in VMware player but selecting either boot or install results in endless stream of dbus.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start avahi-daemon.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start Does it work for someone? I recall only NET iso was mentioned but I can't use it due to connectivity issues.

[opensuse-factory] BoF: Release Schedule NG
by Stephan Kulow 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hi, I'm pretty tired after returning to my home, so all I want to write are my impressions of the BoF about the release schedule. I gave a talk, Robert had two and all three had interesting discussions and then we had a 90 minutes BoF about the same topic: the factory development process. And all in all I would like to summarize this way: our schedule is not the problem, the process needs improvement and the distribution needs more people to take responsibility. The main part of the BoF was about if we need to change 12.3's schedule to implement changes or not. We agreed to implement what we can and stick to the schedule - even if that means that 12.3 won't be our strongest release. But reliable release schedule and reliable quality are our strongest priorities - features and number of packages come after that. That said, we were about 20 people in that BoF, so we can only give recommendations to the developer community as a whole. But in case you agree, remember: November 8 is the release of Milestone1 and so far we can't even install filesystem :( Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed: kernel-xen build failure
by Peter Hanisch 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, I just wanted to mention that the kernel-xen build (for both i586 and x86_64) has been failing in Tumbleweed for a couple of days, giving problems upon doing a zypper dup, which proposes to upgrade kernel-desktop while simultaneously downgrading the kernel-*-devel projects. > https://build.opensuse.org/project/status?project=openSUSE%3ATumbleweed The > error message in the build log is: > [ 8927s] > /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-xen-3.6.5/linux-3.6/init/main.c:638: > undefined reference to `efi_free_boot_services' Is this a bigger problem or just a spontaneous hiccup?

[opensuse-factory] Proposal for 12.3 schedule
by Stephan Kulow 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hi, I played with dates and holidays and it's *very*, *very* tight ;( What I came up with is basically: 20121003: Milestone 0 20121108: Milestone 1 20121213: Milestone 2 It's 5 weeks between 1 and 2, but releasing one in between is not worth it and I can make 1 earlier and 2 later ;( 20130117: Beta1 20130207: RC1 20130228: RC2 20130307: GM 20130313: FCS In theory this can work out, but in practice we again have gained 94 packages not building ;( Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
