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.

Warning: new systemd version landing in Factory

by Frederic Crozat

Hi all, systemd v202 should be landed in Factory soon. It contains a lot of changes (and bug fixes) compared to v195 we had in 12.3, like (this is an extract from the .changes I wrote): + udev now supports different naming policies for network interface for predictable names (this one is disabled by /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/network.conf until network team had a chance to look at it and test it). This should be enabled by default in Factory soon (see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfac… ) This can be also be turned off with kernel command line switch: net.ifnames=0 (when the tmpfiles.d is removed in the near future) + udev gained support for loading additional device properties from an indexed database. %udev_hwdb_update macro should be used by packages adding entries to this database. + Journal gained support for "Message Catalog", indexed database to link up additional information with journal entries. %journal_catalog_update macro should be used by packages adding %entries to this database. + New rpm macros has been added: %udev_rules_update(), %_udevhwdbdir, %_udevrulesdir, %_journalcatalogdir, %_tmpfilesdir, %_sysctldir. + "age" field for tmpfiles entries can be set to 0, forcing removal of files matching this entry. + coredumpctl gained "gdb" verb to invoke gdb on selected coredump. + In service files, %U can be used for configured user name of the service. + nspawn can be invoked without a controlling TTY. + systemd and nspawn can accept socket file descriptors when started for socket activation. This allow socket activated nspawn containers. + logind can now automatically suspend/hibernate/shutdown system on idle. + ConditionACPower can be used in unit file to detect if AC power source is connected or if system is on battery power. + EnvironmentFile= in unit files supports file globbing. + Behaviour of PrivateTmp=, ReadWriteDirectories=, ReadOnlyDirectories= and InaccessibleDirectories= has changed. The private /tmp and /var/tmp directories are now shared by all processes of a service (which means ExecStartPre= may now leave data in /tmp that ExecStart= of the same service can still access). When a service is stopped its temporary directories are immediately deleted (normal clean-up with tmpfiles is still done in addition to this though). + Resource limits (as exposed by cgroup controlers) can be controlled dynamically at runtime for all units, using "systemctl set-cgroup-attr foobar.server cgroup.attribute value". Those settings are stored persistenly on disk. + systemd-vconsole-setup will now copy all fonts settings to all allocated VTs. + timedated now exposes CanNTP property to indicate if a local NTP service is available. + pstore file system is mounted by default, if available. + SMACK policies are loaded at early boot, if available. + Timer units now support calendar time events. + systemd-detect-virt detect xen PVs. + Some distributions specific LSB targets has been dropped: $x-display-manager, $mail-transfer-agent, $mail-transport-agent, $mail-transfer-agent, $smtp, $null. As well mail-transfer-agent.target and syslog.target has been removed. + systemd-journal-gatewayd gained SSL support and now runs as unprivileged user/group "systemd-journal-gateway:systemd-journal-gateway" + systemd-analyze will read, when available, boot time performance from EFI variable from boot loader supporting it. + A new generator for automatically mounting EFI System Partition (ESP) to /boot (if empty and no other file system has been configured in fstab for it). + logind will now send out PrepareForSleep(false) out unconditionally, after coming back from suspend. + tmpfiles gained a new "X" line type, that allows configuration of files and directories (with wildcards) that shall be excluded from automatic cleanup ("aging"). + udev default rules set the device node permissions now only at "add" events, and do not change them any longer with a later "change" event. + A new bootctl tool has been added that is an interface for certain EFI boot loader operations. + A new tool kernel-install has been added to install kernel images according to Boot Loader Specification. + A new tool systemd-activate can be used to test socket activation. + A new group "systemd-journal" is now owning journal files, replacing "adm" group. + journalctl gained "--reverse" to show output in reverse order, "--pager-end" to jump at the end of the journal in the pager (only less is supported) and "--user-unit" to filter for user units. + New unit files has been addedto ease for systemd usage in initrd. + "systemctl start" now supports "--irreversible" to queue operations which can be reserved. It is now used to make shutdown requests more robust. + Auke Kok's bootchart has been merged and relicensed to LGPLv2.1+. + nss-myhostname has been merged in systemd codebase. + some defaults sysctl values are now set by default: the safe sysrq options are turned on, IP route verification is turned on, and source routing disabled. The recently added hardlink and softlink protection of the kernel is turned on. + journald will now explicitly flush journal files to disk at the latest 5 min after each write and will mark file offline until next read. This should increase reliability in case of crash. + remote-fs-setup.target target has been added to pull in specific services when at least one remote file system is to be mounted. + timers.target and paths.target have been added as canonical targets to pull user timer and path units, similar to sockets.targets. + udev daemon now sets default number of worker processes in parallel based on number of CPUs instead of RAM. + Most unit file settings which takes likst of items can now be reset by assigning empty string to them, using drop-in. + Add support for drop-in configuration file for units. + Most unit file settings which takes likst of items can now be reset by assigning empty string to them, using drop-in. + 'hostnamectl set-hostname' allows setting FQDN hostnames. + fractional time intervals are now parsed properly. + localectl can list available X11 keymaps. + systemd-analyze dot can filter for specific units and has been rewritten in C. + systemctl gained "list-dependencies" command. + Inhibitors are now honored no only in GNOME. + 'systemctl list-jobs' got some polishing. '--type=' argument may now be passed more than once. 'systemctl list-sockets' has been added. + systemd gained a new unit 'systemd-static-nodes.service' that generates static device nodes earlier during boot, and can run in conjunction with udev. + systemd-nspawn now places all containers in the new /machine top-level cgroup directory in the name=systemd hierarchy. + bootchart can now store its data in the journal. + journactl can now take multiple --unit= and --user-unit= switches. + The cryptsetup logic now understands the "luks.key=" kernel command line switch. If a configured key file is missing, it will fallback to prompting the user. -- Frederic Crozat <fcrozat(a)suse.com> SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Tumbleweed: Emacs/AucTeX+GTK - LaTeX process does not finish

by Peter Hanisch

Hej! I have a problem with Emacs/AucTeX, which is *somehow* connected to the big Gnome update that landed in Tumbleweed within the last couple of days. I have not yet reported this as a bug since I quite frankly do not know what to report. I get *no* error messages via Emacs's Messages buffer or via console output etc. Normally, when compiling a LaTeX-document with Emacs & AucTeX, the output is sent to another buffer, emacs runs pdflatex and once pdflatex finishes, Emacs prints "Successfully wrote [x] pages" in the minibuffer. Afterwards, one can call another command, be it another LaTeX-run, Biber/Bibtex/Biblatex etc. etc. *However*, Emacs does *not* produce the "Successfully..." message, and subsequently, the latex process never finishes, unless killed by hand. This *only* happens in Emacs+GTK(3), emacs-x11 works as intended. This means *something* GTK-related breaks Emacs/AucTeX, however, I have no idea where I should even start to look since I get no output/errors etc. Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing this?

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'.
