Hi,
I just had a case where someone had issues with Firefox because he was
using MozillaFirefox-branding-basedonopensuse
Could someone give me some pointers what the purpose of these
-basedonopensuse packages is and who is responsible for them? I'm only
maintaining -branding-openSUSE at the moment and we just released an
update for that for compatibility with Firefox 14 but I guess nobody
touches basedonopensuse and therefore people are a bit stuck with bugs
probably.
Thanks,
Wolfgang

12.2 beta2 updated with Yast Online Update yesterday
Hi everyone
I have a problem with 12.2 on VirtualBox.
The 4.1.16 that came with 12.2 gave a very large virtual text screen
(the ones that have to have scrollbars) which is really annoying when
working in a console in text mode.
I removed 4.1.16 and installed 4.1.18. Same problem. The graphics modes
are fine, it's just the cli.
I have tried with and without the guest additions.
Both versions of vbox work as expected on 12.1
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
L x

Hi
I did an upgrade from RC1 which was on vbox, to RC2. The upgrade went OK
but the system now takes 4 minutes to boot:
I see the Welcome to GRUB message and then a fleeting glimpse of an
error message. Then a black screen for a long time before the splash
appears, then everything is back to normal
Any ideas for
1. Where I could get to see the error message (in a log somewhere? I
can't find anything like it under /var/log)
2. How to get the boot time down.
Thanks

Can anyone print with any kind of Canon? This has always been unnecessarily
painful since "upgrading" from a reliable old LaserJet to a Canon MF, but it
was easier prior to 11.3, when printing became totally impossible for nearly
a year until Canon released a driver update compatible with post-11.2 Cups.
In my current 24/7 11.4/KDE3 system I can only count on printing to work
printing of plain text files with Firefox. Anything more complicated or in
random other apps is likely to flood the print spool and/or cause the printer
to error and halt. Same thing happens in 12.1, trying to print a web page in
Firefox or Konq4 makes printer "printer data error".
This time on a 12.2 system, with a Canon driver updated by Canon just last
month, regular user is blocked trying to configure a printer in YaST2 by
"restart locally running cups daemon". As root on first in YaST2, I get the
printer apparently setup, but nothing happens trying to test print besides
what shows up in the cups logs attached, apparently from the sample.drv. On
subsequent tries, root gets the same failures as trying to set up as user.
Naturally printing from M$ works just fine.
Cups output from rpm query is also attached.

Marguerite,
I'm testing the infinality fonts (abusing of preload as upstream); do
you want me to submit the packages to the project you mentioned in the
past?

My apologies. I accidentally posted this question in Project :-( .
...............................
Will 12.2 have a fully working version of GRUB2 or would we still have
to rely on Grub Legacy when installing 12.2?
Thanks for any advice or info as to where I can find the answer.

All,
tcpflow was recently added to factory and httrack is currently under review.
tcpflow is similar to tcpdump, but it segregates the packets into
sockets/flows, one date file per flow.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpflow/
httrack is an webpage copier. It has a lot of features/functionality.
It can be used for preserving a specific instance of a website, or
for offline reading such as on a plane.
http://www.httrack.com/html/fcguide.html
I put both in the devel repo "security". I did this because tcpflow
is used by intrusion response guys to monitor ongoing intrusion
activity and httrack is often used by forensic experts to preserve a
website for evidentiary reasons. Thus, at least that set of users
would likely have the security repo setup already.
fyi: I also just got logsurfer and tripwire in the security repo to
compile for 12.2. They are both more for proactive security
monitoring than the packages I normally maintain.
They both appear to be very stable per their changelogs (only a
handful of changelog entries in 10+ years each). If someone could
volunteer to submit them to factory and maintain them, it should be a
fairly simple task to do.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=tripwire&project=securityhttps://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=logsurfer&project=security
tripwire in particular is a well-known package that I'm surprised in
not already part of factory.

The answer is no. It's not patented from 2010.
Let's understand the case in common sense and technically.
the common sense is infinality comes after 2010. so at least the algorithm
it use is not patented. or its author goes into jail before us.
technically, when its early release, I have to manually add the codes into
freetype source code to remake an openSUSE patch...it's a very bad
memory...but luckily I found its author just modify freetype's sub-pixel
rendering a little bit for some fonts. eg render-y-direction-only instead of
x and y. there's no new algorithm introduced, its just a freetype's autohint
technology variant.
this patch only applies on specific sets of fonts. if your fonts are not in
the list. you are actually using freetype.
freetype and most of the distros dont include it by default.is because its
fonts list focus on proprietary fonts from MS and Apple which dont be on
linux distros thus not the type of freetype and linux distros. it's nothing
related to patent. since freetype also starts using its autohint in our own
freetype package.
And the color stuff patent didnt exist in infinality at all if I remember it
correctly. because I dont think I saw any other color except for the common
word RGB in its source.will check it again tomorrow.
Anyway in short you guys can take it as a patch set that patch nothing to
freetype using the same technology freetype uses.
because the English.fonts it supports are mainly the long known bad ones
like Arial in fontconfig tweak world. you have already have better ones like
liberation or google.fonts. unless you decided to use Apple's fonts like
monaco.
But it will improve a lot for CJK fonts. as you may know, we have a lot of
characters. each of them needs design. so open source community are in fact
not able to provide good fonts. And free rendering solution always be bad on
proprietary fonts. That's why we need it and I notice it because seems it's
the only fix for such gap by now
