[opensuse-factory] Secure Boot again
by Greg Freemyer 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

All, I'd like to suggest that the openSUSE 12.3 boot/install media have the new Linux Foundation pre-boot Secure Boot utility as the first stage of booting. That is in addition to the already discussed plans for handling UEFI secure boot after the initial install. == details There is a new Linux Foundation pre-boot Secure Boot utility available. http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/blogs/browse/2012/10/linux-founda… Interesting and I'm glad to see it, but it doesn't fundamentally change things for UEFI Secure Boot systems running openSUSE 12.3 and newer. But it does for non-compliant systems that don't have a way to disable Secure Boot during OS installs. As it strongly implies, a pre-boot loader is being created by the Linux Foundation and they are going through the process of getting it signed by an official Microsoft Key. That means all UEFI Secure Boot systems will see this new pre-boot loader as being properly signed. (The new pre-boot loader is going to require a human is at the keyboard before it advances to the boot sequence, so it is not a panacea, especially for servers.) Thus the mechanism to boot non-Microsoft signed media like the openSUSE install media becomes: - Disable Secure Boot in the bios, either one time or permanently OR - Boot via the new Linux Foundation pre-boot loader, confirm you are physically present, then continue boot process to non-signed CD/OS/etc. It seems the openSUSE 12.3 install/boot media should have the new pre-boot loader as the first stage of booting. That would also mean that people using those media won't have to disable secure boot in the bios during installs. It will make the install process much more seemless if the user doesn't have to go into the bios prior to doing the install.

[opensuse-factory] Status of systemd vs sysvinit, xinetd, syslog
by Marcus Meissner 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi, As development group maintainer I start to see requests (mostly from Cristian Rodriguez) that remove sysvinit, xinetd support completely from packages and also remove syslog dependencies. What is the current status? Is the total sysvinit removal and total xinetd removal now fact and the future plan?

[opensuse-factory] mkinitrd or dracut ?
by Raymond Wooninck 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Unfortunately it is a public holiday in Austria and therefore I have too much time to play around with the system and come up with stupid ideas :-) But as I am used to live on bleeding edge technology and software, I have been using the 3.7 kernel from Kernel:HEAD and faced some issues with it. At the moment I am running the rc3 version and my previous issues seemed to have been resolved and the kernel is flying :-) However due to another bug in Factory regarding mkinitrd, I had to find another way of creating the required initrd to be able to boot the system with the new kernel. All my attempts with mkinitrd ended either without an initrd image or with a non-bootable image. On IRC I got the indication that openSUSE also has the dracut package which is an alternative to mkinitrd. I installed the required dracut packages and could very easily generate the initrd and bring it into grub. When I booted, I was somehow surprised how fast it actually was and I am wondering if this is due to dracut or the new kernel. Again based on the current status of mkinitrd (and the fact that the above bug somehow seems to take quite some time to be resolved) I really wonder if we have to keep the old mkinitrd functionality or that we should go with a newer technology which is used by more distributions. Especially as that we are already providing working packages for dracut.

[opensuse-factory] To PackageKit or not to PackageKit
by Raymond Wooninck 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hello listmates.... I know that most likely I will be causing another flamewar on this mailinglist, but I hope that we can keep the discussion to facts and to the point. As the subject already indicates I would like to know what the openSUSE community plan is for PackageKit. At this moment we have version 0.7.4 in Factory, despite that upstream already delivered version 0.8.5. I have tried to package 0.8.5, but it seems that in this version the zypp backend is not maintained ( My assumption here is that openSUSE did the maintainance for this part as that libzypp is only used by openSUSE). Based on the above status and also seeing discussions on the opensuse-kde ml regarding how Apper is working as an update notifier, I have the feeling that we as a community should take a decision. At this moment I don't see anything that is offered as a small package update notifier (nor on KDE nor on GNOME side) that works directly with zypper or with yast. Both desktops have been using PackageKit for this (or tools based using PackageKit), but it seems that PackageKit is not really supported by our zypp/YaST community. So the question is will we keep PackageKit in our openSUSE distro or not ? If yes, then the zypp/YaST community should have a look at the latest version and make the zypp backend build and work again. If not, do we have alternatives that we can offer to the users as a small systray utility that notifies them when updates are available ?

Fwd: [opensuse-factory] mkinitrd or dracut ?
by Marguerite Su 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

+1 for dracut! I knew it and tried it after the release of the well known 2sec boot lizard post, Although it speeds your boot just a little bit mesured by systemd plot, it gave you an illusion that it is roket science because it postpones the start of plymouth and just quickly blank twice before you get a KDM. And I am happy to get rid of mdam,multipath,mdraid from my initd without removing half of yast thanks to dracut's module system. I even wrote a long wiki at zh.opensuse.org/sdb:dracut (I am a little busy these days, so no time to translate it into English) I think one shortcoming of change to dracutb is, it lacks documentation. You never know the meaning of every module. You never know which ones are included by default and which ones are not. So it makes the official tweak methods like adding module or masking module useless.

[opensuse-factory] Complain about conditional used run_permissions macro
by Lars Müller 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi, we're using %{?run_permissions:%{run_permissions}} in the post scriptlet of the samba-krb-printing package. While building for opensuse-factory we get this warning [ 1762s] WARNING: run_permissions is obsolete and will be removed january 2013 As we execute %{run_permissions} only if it is defined all looks good from our side. Therefore we consider to simply ignore the warning. But I fear we'll come to the point where the package sources will not get accepted for openSUSE Factory. Our goal is to use the same spec file also for older products like SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 and 11.

And this was the first and last time i was ever gonna use it. So backing up my files is not an option. I think some serious rethinking should be done about what is the aim on opensuse? Create an os that is useless always broken but looks sometimes shiny? Or a system that uses only tools that work, and that are supported? A repair kit that is usable?, or just something that looks like it, but it is not even good enough to wipe your ass with? (difficult with a laptop or pc i agree.. :-D) I think, if opensuse continous, to go on, on this road, the userbase will shrink further. What is the use of an update tool, if the system is broken? First :1) repair the system, 2) support it, and 3) create a working repairkit, so people who test, do not have use their valuable time on re-installing their system. This is the formula for openSUSE 123. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)
