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.

[opensuse-factory] 12.2 beta VirtualBox problem

by lynn

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?

[opensuse-factory] RC2 very slow to boot after upgrade from RC1

by lynn

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 L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [Canon] cups unconfigurable in 12.2

by Felix Miata

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. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] Infinality Fonts

by Nelson Marques

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?

[opensuse-factory] Fwd: [opensuse-project] 12.2 and GRUB2

by Basil Chupin

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.

[opensuse-factory] 2 new packages - tcpflow and httrack

by Greg Freemyer

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=security https://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.

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 Marguerite -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
