[opensuse-factory] maxima
by Alin Marin Elena 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Hi All, Maxima in opensuse education is pretty old... .17 against .25 the current which is available in science repo. Though I was wondering why maxima is missing from the normal repo as we provide a frontend for it (cantor). Shall I submit maxima to factory?

[opensuse-factory] apparmor no longer default install ??
by Patrick Shanahan 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Having had apparmor packages installed for the last several versions of openSUSE, from memory: 10.2, 11.1, 11,2, 11.4, the fresh install of 12.1 I did did not/does not contain apparmor. But, my upgrade (tumbleweed) from 11.4 does. Also my factory install does not inlude apparmor. Is apparmor no longer installed by default? I am trying to determine why I have problems mounting/auto-mounting removable devices in my upgraded 11.4 --> 12.1 system. My fresh install 12.1 system does provide mounting/auto-mounting of removable devices. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] moving everyting to /usr
by Greg KH 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Here's a good document describing the why behind this type of change: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge It's something that I think we should push for 12.2 if at all possible. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Wresting control from systemd
by Mike Galbraith 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Greetings, Recovering from a completely disasterous update to 12.1, I find that systemd has automated cgroups. This is less than useless to me, I need to turn this stuff off so I can set things up as needed, when needed. Where does one find the config and on/off switch? marge:~ # cat /proc/$$/cgroup 9:perf_event:/ 8:blkio:/ 7:net_cls:/ 6:freezer:/ 5:devices:/ 4:memory:/ 3:cpuacct,cpu:/ 2:cpuset:/ 1:name=systemd:/user/root/66 That absolutely must die, but /etc/systemd/system.conf doesn't seem to be the right spot to kill it, as everything there is commented out. Also, 12.1 stole my /media mount point, and mounts it tmpfs. Where is that set up? Nuking it in init scripts didn't prevent it being mounted. Box seems determined to do it's own thing, but I'd like it do my thing instead, so need to find out how to talk to newfangled systemd gizmo. Guess I'll get used to systemd eventually, and maybe even become fond (ha) of it someday... but atm, it's just annoying. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] KDE4.8/QT bug is still there
by C 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

This bug seems to be getting worse with each release of KDE4 :-( Reported here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275469 and here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292057 Basic symptoms: - open an application, and it may or may not actually show up in the Task Manager/Panel - close an application and it may or may not be removed from the Task Manager/Panel It essentially makes the Task Manager unreliable and unusable. The KDE guys say it's a bug in QT and there's nothing they can do about it beyond referring it upstream to QT. There appears to be some patches in the works - is there anything we can do from our side to speed this up.. or include the patches (backporting?) to make KDE4 more usable. I've got one more to add to the list - run a full screen application (game) and when you return to the desktop, the panel and the entire desktop will not respond to click for up to 30 seconds although the mouse is working fine, and if I Alt+Tab I can open/use apps that were minimized. At some point, 30 to 45 seconds after exiting the full screen app (game), the desktop is repainted and becomes responsive again. All clicks you made during that period appear to be queued up and a whole lot of things happen at once as things catch up. I haven't yet found a bug report at KDE for this one... not sure on the right keywords for searching. Will keep trying :-P C. -- 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 open for suggestions
by Greg KH 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

As some of you might have noticed, openSUSE:Tumbleweed has woken up from its holiday break, and is starting to update. But, right now the list of packages are pretty small, basically stuff I use and rely on (kernel, vim, mutt, etc.) I need suggestions of packages to add. Of course, the usual rule of "the package must already be in openSUSE:Factory" still applies. Suggestions? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
