[opensuse-factory] Installation started from inside Windows - does it work?
by Carlos E. R. 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 At <http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/htmlsingle/openSUSE/opensuse-referenc…> it documents a method to start the 12.3 installation from inside Windows. Apparently it runs an install.exe, that modifies the Windows start sequence so that next boot happens from the DVD. Has this method been verified? In particular regarding Windows 8 and UEFI. IMHO, this method should be removed from the installation media and documentation. (I post this intentionally in the factory mail list in order to reach the developers that created the DVD and the documentation) You can see a recent sample of an installation using this method here: <http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=484820> - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-factory] No active session after GNOME login/no ACLs are applied
by Andrey Borzenkov 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

It may be related to various problems with sound etc that were reported. I just found that there is no active session from the logind PoV so no ACL is applied so no access to devices. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811185 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Libgee 0.9.92 to enter Factory soon
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi all, Together with the efforts of pushing GNOME 3.8 to Factory soon, I will prepare with the submission of libgee 0.9.92. There are some confusions there that I would like to address beforehand: libgee 0.6.x shipped gee-1.0.pc since libgee 0.7.x, the .pc file stepped 'back' to gee-0.8.pc gee-0.8 in this case is newer than gee-1.0, and a conscious decision by upstream (it's not a version per se, rather a API version). The packages in the GNOME stack are already prepared for this, but there might be more packages not playing nice there yet. Those will need to be patched, hopefully together with upstream. the bare minimum is to change configure(.ac) to detect the right pkgconfig file (gee-0.8 instead of gee-1.0). Should there REALLY be a need to keep gee 0.6 alive for a short while, then I would be willing to maintain that but also would want to work towards a drop of this extra package prior to the next release... Without voices, gee 0.9.92 (gee-0.8) will be the only one alive within short time.

[opensuse-factory] Fwd: [opensuse-project] Packaging Kolab.org Groupware
by Jos Poortvliet 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Not everybody is on -project, so I thought it's worth to share this here. As Georg Greve said in his talk at the last openSUSE Conference: Groupware is the last of the three pillars of modern IT which Free Software isn't covering very well (we've got Browsers and Office nailed). Kolab is the only real free and open solution out there, and it's an incredibly good one. But the downside is that it is big and not easy to deploy - that's where good, quality packages matter. So, if you care about groupware & server things and want to do a service to Software Freedom, chipping in here would really make a difference! And if you're looking for a Groupware solution at your job or for a client - consider Kolab over the less-open (or closed) stuff, it's good AND a proper Free Software project. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [opensuse-project] Packaging Kolab.org Groupware Date: Wednesday 20 March 2013, 17:49:44 From: Torsten Grote <grote(a)kolabsys.com> To: opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org Dear all, you might have heard that the truly Free Software Groupware Kolab has been released recently in version 3 and has undergone a major rewrite. It supports several native clients and now also mobile phones with ActiveSync. Soon there will also be CalDAV and CardDAV support. So you'll have all freedom to synchronize your personal data across all your devices without relying on big 'cloud' providers. The old Kolab 2 had been packaged for OpenSUSE, but is totally outdated now. Aeneas Jaißle restarted the packaging efforts for Kolab 3 and has made amazing progress. Everything is packaged and can be installed right away. Thanks Aeneas! You can read more about the progress and the current state of the packages in Aeneas' blog [1]. We are still looking for more people who could test the packages and provide feedback. If somebody wants to help with packaging that would even be more awesome. Some little help can already have a big impact and take some weight off of Aeneas' shoulders. You'll find the packages at the OpenSUSE Build Service [2] [3]. Some more outdated information is in the OpenSUSE wiki [4]. If somebody could help bring this up to date, this would be very much appreciated. If you like to get in touch with Aeneas, you'll find him at OBS [5]. And if you haven't tried out Kolab yet, you probably should. There is a public demo [6] if you just want to take a quick look.

[opensuse-factory] rpmlint: warn if -ansi is used to build packages
by Cristian Rodríguez 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hi: Will be cool if rpmlint could warn when upstream packages attempt to use the -ansi gcc option because it inhibits usage of gcc builtin functions while optimizing (list here --> http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Other-Builtins.html#Other-Builtins) most recently it caught my attention that it also disables the new "optimize-strlen" pass in gcc 4.7, in particular this: "for hosted compilations where stpcpy is available in the runtime and headers provide its prototype, e.g. void foo (char *a, const char *b, const char *c, const char *d) { strcpy (a, b); strcat (a, c); strcat (a, d); } can be optimized into: void foo (char *a, const char *b, const char *c, const char *d) { strcpy (stpcpy (stpcpy (a, b), c), d); } " when -ansi is used and (defined(_GNU_SOURCE) || (_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L)) is false, there is no stpcpy prototype and hence no optimization.

I was playing with kernel 3.9.rc2 form KH and I had the unpleasant surprise to find myself without sound... With 3.8.2 kernel and prior everything is ok. I have pasted links to the alsa-info.sh outputs and attached the kernel log for both cases. no sound http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=75737f80ac2a65b7b3e0a39e7cb1330335c72def works http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=9b80d10ef648afb39e9d87a2c57fd8d112b138b7 regards, Alin -- Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Alin Marin ELENA Advanced Molecular Simulation Research Laboratory School of Physics, University College Dublin ---- Ardionsamblú Móilíneach Saotharlann Taighde Scoil na Fisice, An Coláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://alin.elenaworld.net ______________________________________________________________________
