[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed: libreoffice wants to downgrade from "openSUSE Current OSS"
by Patrick Shanahan 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

I have three Tumbleweed systems that for the better part of a week want to downgrade libreoffice (and company) from 4.0.3.3.5-2.25 to 3.6.3.2.4-2.4.1. presently installed 4.0.3.3.5-2.25 from Stable Version of LibreOffice (openSUSE_Tumbleweed) zypper wants to install 3.6.3.2.4-2.4.1 from openSUSE Current OSS both repos have the same priority and raising and/or lowering either does not solve this. zypper -v dup Verbosity: 1 Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories.

[opensuse-factory] Syncing fixes between mkinitrd and dracut
by Michal Vyskocil 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

Hi, there is a new request [1] for mkinitrd fixing few bugs for openSUSE Factory. However there was a big effort to replace dracut as a default initrd tool, which seems to be turned on in Factory (see This will replace mkinitrd with dracut as the default initrd generator. in dracut.changes). So I would expect all development and fixing effort should go into dracut instead of mkinitrd (which is hard as even 13.1 won't have it as a default, so most reports are for mkinitrd). So atm the best we can do is to port mkinitrd fixes to dracut (and vice-versa?). Are all interested people aware about the intended switch and is there a process to forward bugs/feature requests from one group to an another? CCying people found in last .changes for both as not sure, who is subscribed here [1] https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/203579 BTW: there is no bugowner for dracut in Base:System/dracut Regards Michal Vyskocil

[opensuse-factory] fontinfo.opensuse.org
by Petr Gajdos 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

Hi List, be informed that there is new fontinfo.opensuse.org, which tries to make an overview of M17N:fonts. Main features: (1) list of all font families residing in M17N:fonts, (2) several specimens for each font to illustrate its look when used by most covered scripts by that font, (3) rendering algorithm information plus png and svg specimen for each script and font, which can be used for debuging fontconfig setup, (4) software package information for each font including posibility to one-click-install, (5) index fonts by supported languages, (6) index fonts by supported scripts, (7) index families by font format. fontinfo is not done. For example, png specimens are created purely by freetype, which excludes OpenType support[*]. Also specimen sentences for some scripts might not be absolutely correct for some scripts (report!). Other suggestions and issue reports are welcome, as always. Petr [*] That can be nicely seen for e. g. adinatha-fonts (Adinatha Tamil Brahmi font family) when switching between png and svg specimen. This is my TODO #1.

[opensuse-factory] updating syslog-ng
by Peter Czanik 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

Hello, I plan to update syslog-ng in both 12.3 and 13.1 to version 3.4.5. It is already in Base:System and Factory for over a week and resolves all known problems in the syslog-ng 3.4 series. The "problem" I have, that AFAIR one needs to refer to bugzilla tickets when preparing an update and I only have upstream bug reports about advanced configuration settings. These are not used in openSUSE by default, on the other hand might cause considerable head ache for those using the advanced features (log rewriting, patterndb message parsing, AMQP destination, etc.) and most people install syslog-ng for these features... What is the proper way to prepare an update in this case?

[opensuse-factory] broken Youtube due to default installation of pullin-flash-player
by Felix Miata 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

I use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMLMHJjMN0o lately to test if Youtube works. On my latest 13.1 installation at least, the feature video looks like it's trying to run in 4 or 8 color mode in 4:3 aspect ratio. On same system, it works as expected both in WinXP (Flash not installed) and Fedora 20 (Flash not installed). installed: flash-player-11.2.202.310-2.1.6.i586 flash-player-kde4-11.2.202.310-2.1.6.i586 konqueror-4.11.2-1.1.i586 MozillaFirefox-25.0-1.1.i586 pullin-flash-player-12.3-4.1.2.i586 seamonkey-2.22-1.1.i586 xf86-video-intel-2.99.905-1.1.i586 Removing *flash* solves the problem. Same for everyone? Should Flash/pullin-flash not by default be left uninstalled? How are those who need Flash available for non-HTML5 sites supposed to deal with this? Does FlashBlock need to be paired with Flash installation? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed: multi screen setup broken since upgrade of xf86-video-intel
by Richard Weinberger 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Hi! The upgrade from xf86-video-intel-2.20.19-2.1.1 to xf86-video-intel-2.99.905-92.2 broke my multi screen setup. X crashes 9 out of 10 times when I enable the second screen. No matter how (xrandr or the fancy new KDE tool). Sadly X overwrites always its old log files, so have only a fragment of the crash: (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x0 -- Thanks, //richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Ancient hardware support statement
by Sascha Peilicke 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Hi guys, without checking any mail archives, our forums or wikis for prior art, I would like to know if we have any general hardware support statements. I'm currently staring at a maintenance update that disables SSE2 support on certain software because the CPU doesn't support it. The manufacturing of that CPU stopped in 2004, so I'm not really sure what to think of it. Any thoughts? -- With kind regards, Sascha Peilicke SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
