[opensuse-factory] yast double click consistency
by lynn 18 Aug '12

18 Aug '12

Hi In RC2 graphical Yast2, we have to double click the main headings such as software, network devices etc. In all other versions it was a single click. Some of our mature users had big problems with it;) 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] ssh command problem
by lynn 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Hi I have a script which has a ssh call in it: echo Calling the file server ssh root@hh32 "mkdir /home2/$2/$1 ; chown $uid:20513 /home2/$2/$1 ; exit" echo Back on DC <rest of script> The ssh call works, but it never returns to the calling script to finish the rest of the commands.. IOW we never see the words: Back on DC It must have exited because the command prompt after the ssh call is that of the calling box, not the remote box. How do I exit correctly at end of the ssh call so that the rest of the calling script is executed?

[opensuse-factory] Kernel module fails in OBS for openSUSE_Factory and openSUSE_12.2
by Roger Oberholtzer 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

I have two kernel modules that are built in OBS. Up to and including 12.1 the build works fine. A while back, the build for both Factory and 12.2 started to fail with this error: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/vmic_enable-0.10/obj/default/vmic_enable.c:42:24: fatal error: asm/system.h: No such file or directory So, I checked to see if such a file exists. Oddly, the only file is: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 232 Jul 26 09:36 /usr/src/linux/arch/arm/include/asm/system.h The drivers are being built for the i586 and x86_64 architectures. The arm includes are not useful. One simple driver module that has the issue is: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=vmic_enable&project=home%3A… I have a feeling I might now need to specify something in my spec file that is different as of Factory. But what? (I checked the list archives, but either my search tags were not correct, or this has bot been discussed before. I am new to this list...)

[opensuse-factory] Debug information for local libraries
by Roger Oberholtzer 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

I would like to make debug information for libraries we make. Of course, I can compile and link the libraries this way, and install them. But I see that for openSUSE libraries, a better method is used: Libraries are built with the debug information. This is then stripped out, saved, and packaged for use by programs such as gdb. Is there a description for how this is accomplished on openSUSE? I looked around on the openSUSE site, but could not find anything. I guess I do not know where best to look...

[opensuse-factory] User Feedback for opensuse 12.2 RC2 (KDE)
by Dominik Baumann 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Hello, I don't need help with these issues, and i didn't search for any possible bug reports. Just a few notes about (more or less negative) prominences. Though i can handle/workaround/live with these issues, they might influence the beginners user experience in a negative way. I relate to a usual installation with RC-12.2 and KDE as desktop. (I don't think that this influences the following issues. however mentioned: i worked on a virtual machine (VirtualBox), and i accessed it per NX.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Yast repository manager I miss the packman repository. That makes me insecure: Don't i need it anymore? Or do i have to replace it with another repository? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Thunderbirds message list (at least) the date column shows the wrong sort direction. More exact: It shows the sort direction of the *previous* shown mail folder. It shows this wrong sort direction until i hover it with the mouse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In system settings (window behaviour / moving) i miss the options to not display the window content when moving/resizing. But when i click the help button, these options are still listed in the then shown KDE Help Center. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to set the digital clock (in the panel) to 24h view. There's no hint (not to mention a direct link)) in the "RightClick" dialogues, that i have to set it with the system settings locale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During installation i set time zone to austria, the keyboard to german, but the country in the systems settings locale tab is first set to SystemCountry/US. Don't know if that's a feature or a bug, because i also sat the language to english . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When i then set the country to austria (inclusive apply button), the digital clock stays on 12h view (without a hint that this will change not until a new login). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The paste-bin widget (from the default widget collection and with pre-set imagebin server "wstav.org"): When i throw a picture into this widget (which in the meanwhile i have "installed" to my desktop), a button "Open browser" appears, and a notify which says that the URL is in the clipboard now. Pasting then only works with ctrl-v, but not with the middle mouse. Pressing the "Open browser" button does nothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I work with libre-office (just for example), but switched to another program in the meanwhile. When i now want to close libre-offfice per right-click in the task-bar, it doesn't work. More exact: Nothing happens. Reason: I left open an "open file" dialogue (which i cannot see first, because current focus is on another program). I think by myself: Why isn't there any hint about that when pressing right-click/close? Or at least: Why isn't libre-office focused at that moment, so that i get attention to the "blocking" dialogue? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regularely (1x/hour?) there appears the following notify: "Authorization failed. Failed to obtain authentication." (http://wstaw.org/m/2012/08/11/snapshot4.png). I assume that this comes from the micro-blogging client "choqok", which i started once, but not yet gave it the requested authentication informations. But in the notify mentioned above, there is no hint about that at all. Click on it does nothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Given that Kate is running in KDE Activity X. When i want to open a text file with kate in another KDE Activity (Y), there doesn't open a new kate window in Y, but the text file is opened in the kate in Activity X, and X becomes the active Activity. That's very confusing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % cnf javac javac: command not found # zypper install java-1_7_0-openjdk-devel % which javac /usr/bin/javac --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Might be continued ... db -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

So we have 20% of the libraries reserving 65% of /usr/lib for 1 suse program?

[opensuse-factory] oS 12.2 rc2 and Centrino fails to keep connection between reboots
by Ricardo Chung 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Not sure where to report this issue or doing properly isolated. Please let me know. openSUSE 12.2 rc 2 KDE 4.8.4 r2 Installed twice different settings same outcome. Driver: ipw-firmware-9-12.1.1 for Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG from openSUSE-12.2-1.5 repository It is able to show all Access Point (AP) around. First connection to the AP works pretty fine. Finished this session by shutdown and turning on or reboot the system Network Manager shows all Wireless Access Point available except the one is was connected before. Note: 1. KWallet is activated and it seems so far working fine 2. Network Manager (Network Connections on Configure Module) shows AP to it was connected before 3. Network Manager Interface shows WLAN interface is not connected anymore to known and before allowed AP. It is able to show other AP available around 4. Deleting the AP from Network Manager and rebooting the system makes the AP available again. So it is possible to establish a successful new wireless session. However Deleting the AP from Network Connections makes KDEInit4 PID:1294 Signal segmentation fault (11) Regards, -- Ricardo Chung | Panama Linux and FOSS Projects Ambassador openSUSE Project -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] dlopen 'ed modules interdependencies
by Cristian Rodríguez 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi: Suppose I have 3 modules to be dlopen'ed by executable MYPROG. foo.so, bar.so, epicfail.so epicfail.so needs symbols from bar.so and bar.so needs symbols from foo.so. Usually iif such symbols cannot be resolved because bar or foo has not been loaded or has fail, programs will either abort or print an unfriendly message that bar_mysymbol is not defined or similar. Is there any way to programatically tell the dynamic linker: "load foo, then bar, then epicfail and shutdown in a way that makes sense if that is not possible, let my app to print a message and return EXIT_FAILURE cleanly" I am aware that I can tell the application to load modules in an specific order providing modules some magic dependency information, reading it at load time and then proceeding ... however my search for a clean OS/linker level solution has not been successful. is there any way to do this in a sane manner or I am missing something ? Cheers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [Help] NetworkManager takes 80000+ ms to start
by Marguerite Su 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hi, Is this the right place to discuss such a problem? I think I had the slowest openSUSE in the world: marguerite@linux:~> systemd-analyze Startup finished in 10190ms (kernel) + 136255ms (userspace) = 146445ms marguerite@linux:~> systemd-analyze blame | head 84235ms NetworkManager.service 8395ms home.mount 4392ms systemd-modules-load.service 4066ms localnet.service 3981ms windows-C.mount 3083ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service 2204ms systemd-logind.service 2158ms boot.mount 2016ms xdm.service 1977ms vboxdrv.service A plot is at http://paste.opensuse.org/72162965 The NM.service strace is even to large to paste.o.o (6.6MB), so I upload it at http://ge.tt/3NC7P0M/v/0?c So can anyone give me some advice on how to improve NM performance or delay its start until I login into my KDE desktop? And is my NM performance worthy to open a bug report?
