[opensuse-factory] Plymouth Integration
by Raymond Wooninck 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi Factory users, It seems that we are getting closer and closer to a new boot experience. We have resolved the tty issue and are now running Plymouth and the Graphical session on tty7, keeping the same user experience as before plymouth. The plymouth package has been submitted to Factory in order to get the necessary legal and source review. If you would like to help us testing the package and the integration with other packages, then now is the time to do so. Instructions for installation, etc can be found on the following wiki-page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Plymouth I also would like to thank Jeff Mahony and Christian Rodriguez for their work on the plymouth packages. They created the foundation on which I continued.

[opensuse-factory] Changing runlevel in MS1 disconnects users on tty2-6
by Andrea Turrini 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi all, during my tests with gdm on installed GNOME-livecd-build0151 (now solved using lightdm instead of gdm), I noted that when I change the runlevel via "telinit n", all users logged in tty2-6 are forced to disconnect by the system; only user logged in tty1 remains logged in. However this happens only when systemd is used; if I boot using system V, when I change runlevel all users logged in tty1-6 remain logged in. In my opinion runlevel change should not disconnect users logged in tty2-6. Is this a wanted behavior? or is it a (known) bug?

[opensuse-factory] Problems with X on installed GNOME livecd
by Andrea Turrini 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi all, I tried to install the GNOME livecd (build-0151.i686) in VirtualBox but then I am not able to have a running X. If I boot in rl 5, X/gdm crashes and tries to restart repeatedly until I force the system to go to rl3. Once in rl 3, if I launch startx as root I obtain a running X instance but if I launch startx as normal user, I obtain a fatal server error from X: Cannot move old log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old". /var/log/Xorg.0.log has ownership root:root with permissions 644 while /var/log has the same ownership and permissions 755. If I use the same iso image as livecd, X starts correctly under user linux. Is it a known problem? Should I file a bug report against X?

[opensuse-factory] Backlight issues on Samsung netbooks
by Nelson Marques 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

Good people, I've had a question on a Portuguese forum and a bug report on bugzilla[1] regarding a few issues with Samsung and backlight. Disabling 'Dim when idle' does fix the issue (alongside with a grub entry: acpi_backlight=vendor). I'm sure probably some people have run against this, and I've found some sources on github (Greg KH). I haven't checked the license of them, but... what would be the best way to grab a fix for this users (even if it's from an external repository)... For what I could found out, two things are needed: - samsung-backlight - samsung-tools. Anyone knows where's upstream for this so I can dig up a bit more... My google searches were somehow confusing and innefective.

[opensuse-factory] Good statistics is a must have
by Ilya Chernykh 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

I being a maintained of a big OBS project very much in need for a good statistics page which not only would sow the use of particular repositories, but also of the particular packages inside a repository. For example, I want to know which packages in KDE:KDE3 are extensively used and which were not used at all (so I could know which is to fix first). I also would like just general figures about the number of packages in particular projects in OBS so I could know which projects are extensive enough and contain more software so to enable those repositories on my systems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Plymouth update: One step further, but graphical session runs on tty1
by Raymond Wooninck 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hi Listmates, To give you a little heads up on the plymouth trial and errors. At this moment I managed to get a smooth transistion from plymouth to KDM/GDM. However this has a little side effect, namely that the graphical session is running on TTY1 and no longer on TTY7. GDM works out-of-the-box with this, but KDM would require a small patch. The main question however would be if it would be acceptable to have the change that the graphical session is running on TTY1. Fedora also made this change when they implemented Plymouth, but I am wondering what your opinion is. Another community member (tigerfoot) did a test and found another issue when using encrypted disks. We are trying to sort this one out before preparing an initial package which could be submitted to Factory.

[opensuse-factory] A poisoned 'muffin'
by Nelson Marques 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hi all, As Stephan and Vincent pointed there was a small issue with 'muffin'. Muffin is a fork of mutter and currently provides the same internal typelib as mutter, which generates a 'Provides: typelib(Meta) = 3.0'. This might bring issues with Mutter since both will provide the same typelib. I've made the following changes: 1. Merged typelib into the main package; 2. Filtered the Provides so that the typelib isn't a part of the package Provides; Upstream has been notified of this issue, and since the fix involves a lot of code change, they will work on this after the 1.2.1 release. Can we live like this for a while (it will most likely be fixed upstream before the release). Coolo, Vincent, are we cool to keep on with the submissions ?

[opensuse-factory] Step up for compiz maintainership or it will be dropped
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

Hi Factory contributors, It's been a while that I invested time in Compiz and the move of various desktop environments to be compositing themselves made compiz for big parts obsoleted... given, it still has nice effects but I am not even sure how well and if it currently works in Factory... And as I don't use compiz anymore myself, there is only little use in claiming maintenership on it anymore: I would only run after issues instead of pro-actively taking care of them. Compiz upstream is mainly busy adjusting it for ubuntu unity. If nobody steps up to take over compiz maintainership within a week, I will file drop requests for the various compiz packages. It's better to not ship anything nobody tests rather than ship it non-functional. Looking forward for your offers to take over!

Yes, it's nice :-) However, I wonder why the login screen doesn't fit into this scheme, having vertical stripes of different shades of blue... I can't remember that I have ever changed something here, so I assume that this is the default. Or am I missing something?
