Re: [opensuse-factory] repository priorities with Tumbleweed

by Thomas Langkamp

> No, please don't confuse people, if you add more repos than just > Tumbleweed you really had better know what you are doing or bad things > can, and will, happen :) I understand. I just would like to add the following to http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed - between ## is the new stuff: "The only supported method of repo use for Tumbleweed is to have only the main repos (Oss, Non-oss, and Update) and the Tumbleweed repo active. ## If you use more repositorys you have to know how repo-priorities work, but even then Tumblweed does NOT support this ## " It would also be good to move this information to "Special concerns" and to move the whole "Special concerns"-section up. For example "Special Concerns Virtual Machines ... Third Party Drivers ... ## Non-Standard Repos: Only use Oss, Non-oss, and Update combined with the Tumbleweed-Standard repo. Everything else is not supported and might break the system ## " >You do know the legal reasons behind why packman is there, right? Yes. Then I do not whish you personaly to support Packman with TW - I understand now that this is not possible from your perspectivg. But...as the OS community discusses right now if/how to strengthen Tumbleweed... one way would be, that Packman+TW would be supported BY Packman. So I will ask the Packman-guys to do that... I hope this is possible for them. Without Packman Tumbleweed is so ... "anti-multimedia" ;) thanks anyway :D -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

YaST2 "install/remove" doesn't display solver diagram

by Kyrill Detinov

Hello. There is a regression in YaST2 *Qt* "install/remove software" module. It doesn't show solver diagram. First, no dependencies on libqdialogsolver. Second, installed libqdialogsolver doesn't help. Reported ages ago. And confirmed. All the info is provided. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785431 WBR Kyrill

Re: [opensuse-factory] SOLVED: postfix does not run

This sounds like https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796162 which should be fixed since some time. I'd guess some older postfix package broke your main.cf. Nevertheless, if you want to be really sure, uninstall postfix, move away /etc/postfix and re-install the postfix package.

Re: [opensuse-factory] 12.3 RC1 R128 trouble (was: ...install mysteries)

I installed HTTP started by Grub using latest factory-snapshot with nomodeset on cmdline. Graphical install worked fine, though slow with only 384M RAM, but resulting X is unusable. The left half of the screen is fine, but the right side is a mess, as if there were some kind of buffer misalignment repeating portions and omitting others. Using nomodeset produces mostly black screens with colored lines in various places at various times in attempting to start the login manager, and kills keyboard.

Having logs recorded in a non-text binary format tends to make MS logs out-a-sight, out-a-mind, where as I often go and poke around in /var/log and look to see if I notice anything 'new'. If I can't look at the whole stream as a text (messages, warnings, etc), I don't get a field for what is right or wrong behavior and certainly wouldn't be able to pick out an anomaly if I had to query each item separately -- that global view is a good way to look for 'warts'...

t1lib droppable?

by pgajdos＠suse.cz

Hi list, let us consider removing t1lib from factory. t1lib is unmaintained, see e. g.: CVE-2010-2642 CVE-2011-1552 CVE-2011-1553 CVE-2011-1554 CVE-2011-0433 Packages which requires t1lib for build in factory: evince texlive VFlib3 evince and VFlib3 could perhaps drop --with-t1lib configure switch, texlive could either use its own copy or drop support as well -- it appears from code that it uses t1lib as fallback if freetype2 can't handle given font. Opinions? Do you see any drawbacks? Thanks, Petr

Tumbleweed, future directions

by Greg KH

Hi all. So Tumbleweed is, I think, almost 2 years old now. It seems to be working fairly well, or at least well enough for my daily use, and I haven't heard any complaints about it in a long time which means that either no one is using it, or it's working for others :) Anyway, with the advent of 12.3 soon, I have been thinking if Tumbleweed needed to change any to make things work better. My original set of complaints a year or so ago about OBS issues that keep us having a "proper" rolling distribution, still pretty much are the same: - the build-number issue - build speed - dependancy rebuild problems. Build speed of OBS has increased recently, I don't know if it's just my imagination, or if I have a higher priority for my repos now, or if new hardware really was added to the build system, but I'm happy things seem to be working better in that area at the moment. But the other two issues are still big ones, as the recent GNOME update in Tumbleweed proved quite well. So, I was thinking about maybe, when 12.3 changing Tumbleweed from being an "add-on" repo on top of the 12.3 repos, to being a "full" distro snapshot. That would resolve the build number problems we have had, but the dependancy rebuild issue would increase. The rebuild problem can be manually handled, much like FACTORY currently is, but odds are, I would lean toward the conservative side, having more rebuilds than are probably necessary just to ensure that systems work well. That means that libreoffice would be updated on a weekly basis for users, which might get annoying over time :) Any thoughts by anyone about this? Or should I just do it and see how well it works out? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Daniele

Hi guys, I'm not a big fun of zypper dup but I did it ! New system is up and running but grub menu still show 12.2 instead of 12.3. Under Yast, boot loader options: Distributor and Default section -> openSUSE 12.2 Is a known issue ? worth a bugreport ? Better way to fix menu entry ? I never touched grub 2 configuration files...
