[opensuse-factory] Question about missing repos in RC2 (eg)
by Basil Chupin 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

I installed RC2 yesterday. The list of repos has packman (for example) missing - but I need to use and try out vlc. I manually added the packman repo but as it doesn't yet have an entry for 12.3 I used 12.2. I installed vlc but haven't tried it yet. Looking at the packman download directory there is the entry Factory. Should I have used this Factory rather than 12.2 when adding packman to the list of repos in RC2?

Hello, package python-irclib we have in factory is obsolete and not required by any package, what i would like to do is to make it obsolete (tag it) and push new package python-irc. Question from me should i provide python-irclib fake provides as that is "good practice" or as it is really not compatible with old one just ignore it? I'm just pushing it into devel:languages:python and requested delete too https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/157149 <add to d:l:p https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/157150 < delete of python-irclib from d:l:p (can not yet push to factory as no devel project exist without push of d:l:p -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Network Stack in 12.3
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Hi all, As many are surely aware, there are 'funny' issues in 12.3 when it comes to the network stack. On my machine, I experienced WiFi not being able to connect at all (Intel chip). => Updating the kernel-firmware package (Used Larry's pkg!) worked around this.. Then, NetworkManager and sysconfig seem to cause real pain. sysconfig was updated to 0.80.x (and a respective change added to NM). Now, whenever I use this configuration (tested on cable/LAN), then there is either no default route set, or /etc/resolv.conf is not being written. Having my system back in shape by reverting to sysconfig 0.76.8 and reverting NM to not make use of sysconfig 0.8 features got me running again. Don't get me wrong: I don't say we should kill the progress of sysconfig, but we should postpone this for 13.1, as in my opinion we are way to late in the release to figure out what all goes wrong and needs fixing (the issue is larger than it looks at first, just look at issues caused by this like https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804052, where yast does not know how to perform the switch anymore between ifup and NM. As such, I very much vote for - Inclusion of kernel-firmware update, as prepared by Larry - Revert sysconfig to 0.78.8 - Revert the change in NetworkManager ( https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff?linkrev=base&package=NetworkManage… ) NOTE: Even doing this revert will leave machines which HAD these packages in a 'weird' state: NETWORKMANAGER=yes/no was removed from /etc/sysconfig/network/config with sysconfig 0.80 and rolling back to 0.78.8 adds =no to the system. So those machines might be in a very odd stage... yet, this is a 'rather' small subset of systems which we can possibly manage. Looking forward to some noise here!

by Carlos E. R 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Hi, I have installed 12-3 RC2, updated. I installed from DVD and the desktop is XFCE. DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm" (default setting) When I log out, then I click on stop machine or reboot. It asks for confirmation, and I'm returned to the display manager login. No halt, no reboot happens. I have to ctrl-alt-f1, then ctrl-alt-del. Bug 807097 -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.

by Roman Bysh 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Hello all, I've installed openSUSE 12.3 RC2 on my desktop.Does any one know if the plasmoid-networkmanagement will be working in time for the final release? Now that I've already set it up under YaST. I have an ethernet cable connected to my desktop. However, under the "Wired" tab nothing appears. It should show "Wired connection 1". -- Cheers!
