[opensuse-factory] Outdated kernel firmware
by Larry Finger 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Coolo, In b.n.c, Bug 799937, which was filed on 20130122, I reported that the kernel-firmware package was outdated and that certain firmware files are missing. I am still waiting for follow-up info, but it is possible that Bug 801681 is also due to the outdated firmware. I know we are in a feature freeze for 12.3, but is it still possible for this package to be updated?

[opensuse-factory] Problem connecting to network after 12.3 RC1 upgrade
by Sankar P 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Hi, I am not able to connect to network after upgrading to 12.3 RC1. I get a DHCP address but none of the connections go through. rcnetwork start shows: redirecting to systemctl restart network.service" Job for network.service failed. See 'systemctl status network.service' and 'journalctl -n' for details. More information at: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803058 Can someone help me workaround this ? -- Sankar P http://psankar.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Live CDs do not include legacy grub
by Andrey Borzenkov 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803401 If this is intentional, it should at least be mentioned in release notes. Ideally, installer should not offer choice of bootloader that cannot be installed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] no network, or gui or usb connections after install of openSUSE-12.3-NET-Build0024-x86_64.iso
by doiggl＠velocitynet.com.au 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

I logged a report at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803515 It covers: I tried a clean install of 12.3-RC1 iso openSUSE-12.3-NET-Build0024-x86_64.iso After the install these things happen 1. start goes to a text mode login prompt - no gui start at all. 2. no network connected,cannot access any remote service, cant ping anything remote. 3. When I plug in a usb drive nothing shows up. Questions: How can this be fixed so I get a gui [kde] start, a network connection, and a usb mounted device. Has anyone else encountered these problems with 12.3-RC1 ?

[opensuse-factory] multi-touch
by Jon Rocker 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Perhaps for the next release of openSUSE, we could get multi-touch working. With tablets and mobile devices being ever more popular, it is important that we stay current with the technologies. Mtdev does provide multi-touch and Xserver now also has multi-touch in it. Having said that, multi-touch, even with mtdev, doesn't seem to work very well, if at all. An on screen keyboard should be available at log in (KDM or GDM, etc). Using a USB keyboard should not be needed in anyway. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Problems with network module in YaST2, NetworkManager and IPv6
by Freek de Kruijf 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

After generating an openSUSE 12.3 RC1 system, with updates till today, in a Virtual Machine I notice that YaST2 has configured the network to use the Traditional method with ifup. However the command ifdown does not work and it reports that NetworkManager is active. Starting networkmanager as a user makes it possible to change parameters, so apparently NetworkManager is active. However there is no icon in the task bar afrter the start. One can start the UI networkmanager via Alt+F2 and typing networkmanager or via System Settings -> Network and Connectivity -> Network Settings. Changing to NetworkManager in the network module in YaST2 apparently does not make any difference. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803008 My main interest in testing 12.3 is in IPv6. So I tried some settings in the UI for NetworkManager for IPv6. I found that after changing a parameter, the preference for which automatically generated IPv6 address to use, one needs a reboot for these parameters, to become effective. There is no warning after changing such a parameter. Another observation is that the prompt for the root password is not popping up in your face, but is hidden behind the networkmanger user window. Apparently the default is that the automatic generated host part of the IPv6 address from the MAC address should be used, however this is not the recommended setting. Instead a random generated host part for the IPv6 address should be the default. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803050 -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-factory] KolorManager -> 12.3 request
by Kai-Uwe Behrmann 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Hello release team, the colour management front end KolorManager contains a component called KolorServer from last years GSoC. That project aimes at bringing ICC colour correction to KWin and thus to the whole KDE desktop. KolorServer is the Oyranos dependent part, which was developed in parallel to KWin-4.10 internal changes. We have a ICC colour server already in openSUSE called CompICC, which works very well with old style Compiz. But requests und suggestions where made since quite some time to bring that feature to a mainstream window manager, and that was by chance KWin. An other cool change is the new Taxi DB support, which connects KolorManager to icc.opensuse.org. With some luck a fitting monitor profile is offered for installation to the local system. After quite some testing and bugfixes, KolorManager 1.0.1 was released around two weeks ago. At that time I became ill and had to suspend my work on the stack. Today I tested a oS-12.3 KDE image, added KolorManager and KolorServer from multimeda:color_management. Both work fine inside KDE/KWin. Now I like to request copying the following packages from Factory to 12.3 for the next release: libXcm-0.5.2 oyranos-0.9.4 xcm-0.5.2 icc_examin-0.54 kolor-manager-1.0.1 Hope you will find the packages useful. kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann -- www.oyranos.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [Plasma Pastebin] Set `expire` right to save p.o.o server disk.
by Marguerite Su 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hi, All & KDE maintainers, In Pastebin plasmoid, we have two unique service providers for paste.opensuse.org http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php?content=141038 and paste.opensuse.org (I failed to find its source) But we have a bug that pastes sending from those two service proviers are set to `never expires`. Because if you use the web GUI, it is set to "1 week". After some digging, I find it's even not what the author intended to do. Because in imgsusepasteorg/contents/code/main.js, he set the `expiry` to `1440` which means `1 Day`. Then I downloaded the stikked-0.5.4.zip (https://stikked.googlecode.com/files/stikked-0.5.4.zip) in system/application/views/defaults/paste_from.php, the id is actually `expire` instead of `expiry`. He failed to transfer the value for expiry, so pastes sent from there were set to `never expires`. So we need to change those two files in kdebase4-workspace package: /usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma/shareprovider/pasteopensuseorg/contents/code/main.js /usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma/shareprovider/imgsusepasteorg/contents/code/main.js and set `expiry` to `expire`. I didn't see our "suse tweak" for those two files in spec file, it seems to be from upstream, so we need a developer who has commit permission to fix it upstream. PS: We also have this problem for 12.2/12.1, so if we want to save our server, we have to make an update for them. PS1: I left a message for that uploader on opendesktop.org, if he's among us, please re-upload the fixed tar ball.

[opensuse-factory] Trying to install 64 bit openSUSE 12.3RC on EFI Bios
by Johannes Weberhofer 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hello! Out of curiosity I've tried to enable UEFI and to setup opensuse via a USB stick containing the 12.3RC net-install CDROM. The installation runs nicely, but at the end I can't boot from the partition (it's a physical PC containing only one hard-disk with only the installation I've tried). After that I tried a installation with grub-efi, but this (and the elilo selection) told me that it does not support booting x86_64 versions... Are there any guidelines which can help me? Does anybody have experience with EFI?

[opensuse-factory] PackageKit and libzypp locks
by Fadi Moukayed 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hi all, Is it just me, or does PackageKit (Or rather, pk-backend-zypp in this case) not respect libzypp package locks at all? I noticed this earlier today when Apper's updater applet attempted to install a locked (non-installed) "recommended" dependency after an update to one of the base packages (patterns-openSUSE-enhanced_base_opt, I think) whereas both YaST and zypper behaved as expected by not marking locked packages/dependencies for update/installation. Is this behavior by design, or am I encountering a bug in the PackageKit(-backend) here? Regards, -F. Moukayed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
