[opensuse-factory] Cursed intel graphics card, freezes desktop at random. Tried 3 different kernels
by Roger Luedecke 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

I have tried running three different kernels. I have 3.4 3.6 and 3.7 in parallel right now. Behavior is basically the same on all three. I have nearly googled myself into a coma. 3.4 had known intel bugs, many of which were fixed in 3.6.10, hence that install. 3.7 (from tumbleweed) was originally being tested until I read there were regressions regarding the intel drivers. My screen will suddenly become unresponsive, with only the mouse being able to move. Then shortly thereafter that will stop responding as well. It is not possible to drop to TTY. I have to hold the power down. After trying the different kernels, I have tried also the i915.modeset=0 and i915.modeset=1 in grub. The former seems to cause more problems than it solves, changing from a frozen screen to a garbled one. So far the latter is proving stable, though perhaps with slightly degraded graphical performance. > Hippie:/home/roger # hwinfo --gfxcard > 09: PCI 02.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) > [Created at pci.319] > Unique ID: _Znp.AyhgUXFyk41 > SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0 > SysFS BusID: 0000:00:02.0 > Hardware Class: graphics card > Model: "Intel 945 GM" > Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" > Device: pci 0x27a2 "945 GM" > SubVendor: pci 0x1179 "Toshiba America Info Systems" > SubDevice: pci 0xff10 > Revision: 0x03 > Driver: "i915" > Driver Modules: "drm" > Memory Range: 0xf0a00000-0xf0a7ffff (rw,non-prefetchable) > I/O Ports: 0x1800-0x1807 (rw) > Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xdfffffff (ro,non-prefetchable) > Memory Range: 0xf0b00000-0xf0b3ffff (rw,non-prefetchable) > IRQ: 16 (3038 events) > I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) > Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d000027A2sv00001179sd0000FF10bc03sc00i00" > Driver Info #0: > XFree86 v4 Server Module: intel > Driver Info #1: > XFree86 v4 Server Module: intel > 3D Support: yes > Extensions: dri > Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown > > 10: PCI 02.1: 0380 Display controller > [Created at pci.319] > Unique ID: ruGf.EeuYq4vjbr7 > SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1 > SysFS BusID: 0000:00:02.1 > Hardware Class: graphics card > Model: "Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" > Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" > Device: pci 0x27a6 "Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" > SubVendor: pci 0x1179 "Toshiba America Info Systems" > SubDevice: pci 0xff10 > Revision: 0x03 > Memory Range: 0xf0a80000-0xf0afffff (rw,non-prefetchable) > Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d000027A6sv00001179sd0000FF10bc03sc80i00" > Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] New package gEDA
by Dmitry Roshchin 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

New package gEDA http://geda-project.org/ The gEDA project has produced and continues working on a full GPL'd suite and toolkit of Electronic Design Automation tools. These tools are used for electrical circuit design, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, and production. Currently, the gEDA project offers a mature suite of free software applications for electronics design, including schematic capture, attribute management, bill of materials (BOM) generation, netlisting into over 20 netlist formats, analog and digital simulation, and printed circuit board (PCB) layout. If you are using gEDA or other electronic stuff (e.g. KiCad EDA) please test packages (they are located in science project) or contact me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] howto modify grub2 to add missing menuentries?
by Patrick Shanahan 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

I have a 12.3m2 system with two kernel updates but grub2 only provides access to the original kernel. Yast does not add the newer kernels.

source locations have changed and nvidia prop drivers will not install.

[opensuse-factory] OBS project cleanup candidates
by Sascha Peilicke 25 Dec '12

25 Dec '12

Hi folks, during our never-ending quest in cleaning up OBS projects, I encountered some projects which could easily be merged: network:messaging (1 pkg) network:messaging:amqp (5 pkg) and Apache Apache:Modules Apache:MirrorBrain I'm sure there are other worthy candidates. IMO it's not worth keeping projects around which either belong together or contain less than 10 packages. Also, maintainers come and go (such as repositories to build against) and updating the meta-data for all those projects is tedious, if it happens at all. While we're at it I'm sure Adrian would appreciate it if we could move them into the devel: tree. -- With kind regards, Sascha Peilicke SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] dup results
by Felix Miata 25 Dec '12

25 Dec '12

Last upgrade: 15 Nov (K7/32-bit host kt880) Factory repo Booted with 3 on cmdline, after zypper ref, before zypper dup, I did: zypper in zypper rpm libzypp udev glibc mkinitrd yast2-bootloader perl-Bootloader openSUSE-release curl wget Zypper -v dup ran to about 80% completion and stopped during yast2-packager installation. On tty6 was a screenful of segfault info. tty[10-12] were all black. Reboot via reset button was required to make zypper usable again, after trying to finish made it complain about a lock I could not locate. Zypper -v still does not display url of files being fetched. :-( On next boot with 3 on cmdline I logged in on tty3, then did startx. That put X on tty2. :-( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768788 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] Update while active graphical desktop session made logout impossible
by Lars Müller 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Hi, a recent update to KDE made it impossible to the user to logout or to shutdown the system. Therefore I suggest to change our default way how updates are applied. a) Always download the updates in advance in the background We could even be more elegant and throttle the download speed if other processes use the same link. b) Apply the updates on shutdown Doing b) after the user finished the X sesison ensures we never lock her in. Via a new setting is a /etc/sysconfig/ file we're able to change the default. For example to apply updates always at system startup or to keep the update process at the same way as it currently is. Maybe we're already able to achieve this and I missed the configuration option. But our current default settings lead to the described desktop lock situation.
