[opensuse-factory] acpid requires systemd?
by Felix Miata 25 Apr '24

25 Apr '24

Can this be true? If so, why? Zypper won't let me upgrade acpid without breakage unless systemd is installed too. I have systemd locked out, as I'd rather test things I can understand in Factory, not major overhaul stuff. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Re: [opensuse-factory] repository priorities with Tumbleweed
by Thomas Langkamp 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

> 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

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

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.

[opensuse-factory] Warning: new systemd version landing in Factory
by Frederic Crozat 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

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

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed: Emacs/AucTeX+GTK - LaTeX process does not finish
by Peter Hanisch 15 May '13

15 May '13

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?

[opensuse-factory] [tumbleweed] setting NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER has no effect with NM 0.9.8
by Jiri Slaby 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi, since NetworkManager update to 0.9.8.0 in Tumbleweed, my network configuration doesn't work anymore. It is because NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER seems to be ignored and dnsmasq isn't involved in the name resolution. IOW /etc/resolv.conf with 0.9.8.0 is what is received from DHCP and with 0.9.6.4 it is empty (as it is supposed to be). # zypper in -f NetworkManager-0.9.6.4-5.6.1 solves that... Some more info: # grep NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER /etc/sysconfig/network/config NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="dnsmasq" NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER_FALLBACK="no" 0.9.8.0 (bad): # cat /etc/resolv.conf # Created by NetworkManager nameserver 192.168.0.1 # cat /var/run/dnsmasq-forwarders.conf cat: /var/run/dnsmasq-forwarders.conf: No such file or directory 0.9.6.4 (good): # cat /etc/resolv.conf ### /etc/resolv.conf file autogenerated by netconfig! # blahblah ... # cat /var/run/dnsmasq-forwarders.conf nameserver 192.168.0.1 thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] current tumbleweed problems
by Andi Kleen 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

- Any update needs a "while true ; do killall pango-querymodules-64 ; sleep 1 ; done" running in parallel, as pango-querymodules-64 always hangs forever for some futex. This is needed continuously when updating as it is called from mkinitrd, and mkinitrd seems to be called from all kinds of packages. Especially udev updates seem to call it a lot. - pulseaudio seems dead now. Simply no sound output. Direct alsa output works. If I strace the pulseaudio daemon it seems to transfer data and the volume/mute seems to be up too in a mixer. But I don't hear anything. Mainly a problem with youtube et.al. as flash seems to use pulse unconditionally now. -Andi -- ak(a)linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] A collection of new c libraries in factory
by Greg Freemyer 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

All, Joachim Metz, from Google, has written a set of c libraries to work with Microsoft files in linux. LGPLv3+ A overview is at http://code.google.com/p/libyal/wiki/Overview I have many of them now in factory with more coming. (If you see one you want that is not yet in factory, let me know.) They often include CLI tools to use the functionality. See libregf-tools - tools to parse MS registry files libevt-tools - tools to parse MS event logs in the pre-vista format libevtx-tools - tools to parse MS event logs in the vista and newer format libmsiecf-tools - tools to parse MS Internet Explorer Cache Files liblnk-tools - tools to parse MS link files. Similar to a symbolic link file libvshadow-tools (not yet submitted, find it in the filesystems repo) - tools to parse NTFS volume shadow copies libpff-tools - (not yet submitted, find it in the security repo) - tools to parse PST and OST files I am most intrigued by libvshadow. This is the only OSS tool I know of that even tries to give users access to NTFS volume shadow copies. FYI: The driving force behind me packaging most of these is that plaso is using them. Plaso is a new python application that parses filesystems and creates a single integrated timeline of all the activity found on the computer. It pulls events out of all of the above so the timeline can be comprehensive. (I don't think it uses libpff yet.) I just submitted python-plaso to factory a few minutes ago, but I think all of the dependencies it needs are already there.

[opensuse-factory] Update 'speech dispatcher' to version 0.8pre1
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a. Dimstar 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hi all, GNOME 3.8 has mostly moved on to python 3. An important component is orca, which followed this as well. (for the ones that do not know: orca is the screen reader component in GNOME). Currently, in Factory, orca is non-functional due to missing dependencies being built in python 3; most of them are fixed by now, but one critical component is still missing: - speech-dispatcher (the actual work horse). I did submit[1] an update of speech-dispatcher to the devel project (hardware) already. This is a courtesy notice to other 'users' of speech-dispatcher that this update is on its way; the current version is 0.8pre1 (0.8 release is still pending; but for python3 support, we need to move to this). According to osc, those packages depend directly or indirectly on speech-dispatcher: brltty chromium jovie kaccessible kmouth sbl Please pick yours and verify if this is all works with the new speechd or if work is needed in your packages.

[opensuse-factory] Another 'fun' build failure case in Factory
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi all, another fun story you might be running in while looking at build failures. In factory, %{optflags} now contains "-grecord-gcc-switches". A bunch of 'funny' configure and make scripts try to be smart and, if for example built with --disable-build, replace -g in CFLAGS with '' using most stupid sed syntax. The result? gcc -grecord-gcc-switches main.c -o myCoolApp becomes gcc record-gcc-switches main.c -o myCoolApp => and there is (hopefully in call cases) no file called record-gcc-switches, and thus the build fails. In most cases this is visible in the error message (gcc: record-gcc-switches does not exist). In some cases this is a bit deeper burried. Again, I think I hit most cases in Factory and sent proposal SRs to the dev projects.. up to the maintainers to decide if they like the fixes (usually I just removed this mangling... even with --disable-debug, we usually want -g specified so we can get meaningful -debuginfo packages) Happy hacking... and happy chasing bugs!

[opensuse-factory] pkg-config 0.28 / minor change (and broken configure checks)
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Hi all, I've been looking at some odd build failures in Factory this evening and could mostly pint it down to very poorly written checks in configure. Look for example at: pkg="openssl" verssl=`(pkg-config --modversion $pkg) 2>/dev/null` if [[ "x$verssl" = "x" ]]; then pkg="libssl" verssl=`(pkg-config --modversion $pkg) 2>/dev/null` fi incssl=`(pkg-config --cflags $pkg) 2>/dev/null` libssl=`(pkg-config --libs $pkg) 2>/dev/null` if [[ "x$incssl" != "x" -a "x$libssl" != "x" ]]; then HAVE_OPENSSL=yes OPENSSL_VER="$verssl" OPENSSL_INC="$incssl" OPENSSL_LIB="$libssl" else verssl="no" fi It's visible that pkg-config --cflags $pkg can very well return empty, in case there are no special flags. the 'difference' between pkg-config 0.27 and 0.28 is that up to 0.27, there used to be a bogus space returned... which was fixed in 0.28; of course, now everybody will claim how bad it is to fix bugs which people rely on; this mail was not meant to start anything like this... merely as a heads-up if you run across similar weird checks... The only way forward is to fix the broken checks...

[opensuse-factory] which systemd version is in use by factory?

Hello together, when one looks at this page: http://software.opensuse.org/package/systemd and opens the section for "openSUSE Factory" one gets the line: "official release 44 ..." for "openSUSE 12.3" the correct entry is shown: "official update 195 ..." dito for "openSUSE 12.2" "official update 44 ..." My question is where does the version 44 for factory come from? Another question: would it be possible to enable to enable the repository openSUSE_12.3 for systemd in Base:System, atm it's disabled and I'd like to test systemd 202 on OSS 12.3 without opening the can of worms that is Factory on a production system without good cause.

[opensuse-factory] GSOC 2013 - call for mentors: external boot selection for Grub2
by okordy 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hi, I want to take part in GSOC working for opensuse, so I have posted my ideas here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2013-04/msg00057.html Someone answered me, that I should discuss it here and call for mentors. My idea: external boot selection sources for Grub2 (windows; serial port) This is rather cross-distribution topic, but may require creating distribution-specific tools (which could be incorporated to grub project, if they wants to). Problem scenario #1: I'm working (at the moment) on Windows, installed an system update and want to reboot. So, I click "reboot" and go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. When I come back, linux is started, because it was default selection and grub booted into it. Problem scenario #2: My PC is shut down and I want to boot into Windows. I press "power" and wait for system to boot. BIOS takes some time to check the hardware, grub waits 3 seconds for OS selection and... I'm late for selecting Windows, because I was disturbed for a moment by something else. Problem scenario #3: I want to boot my PC remotely to Windows, using Ethernet card boot feature. I have to boot into default system (linux) first, then reboot into Windows. Common problem: I have to stare at monitor during boot process, to not overlook Grub menu - if I miss it, I waste lots of time to wait for reboot to correct OS. Suggested solution: I wanted to implement simple-to-use tools to make it possible to: - select "reboot to" OS directly from Windows (like it's currently done in opensuse) - this would include preparing configuration tool for linux (to setup grub, or windows app, if needed), patching grub itself (also, if needed) and implementing Windows application, which would let select next boot-once OS for Grub and reboot PC. Such Windows tool would be splitted into at least two components: pure command-line tool just to set boot-once setting and GUI app to easily use it. - (optional) make it possible to control grub via physical device (connected, for example, via serial port). It would make it possible for user to build a simple-as-possible switch, which would let him select OS *before* powering on or rebooting PC - (optional, I'm not sure if it's possible to do it during GSoC, or won't require too much dependencies) make it possible to select OS when booting from Ethernet card Is there anyone interested in mentoring this idea?

[opensuse-factory] kmscon , pam_securetty and login
by Cristian Rodríguez 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hi: While testing kmscon, I noticed that, by default it is impossible to login as root. kmscon simple invokes login(1) binary which in interfaces with PAM module pam_securetty that checks for "secure ttys" in /etc/securetty which lists the permitted devices as a whitelist..but kmscon does not use the tty(4) but pts(4) and /dev/pts/* devices are not in the list. While I think this "whitelist" is a pretty arcane and ugly way to control access, I'm looking for feedback on how to make this stuff work without having to manually extend the whitelist (and therefore perpetuating the false sense of security it provides) AND not breaking the old way. Does anyone have any feedback on how to "bypass" this list programatically ? Cheers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] RFC: Drop cdrdao
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hi all, the various gnome*mm packages (last refreshed in ~ 2009) become more and more obsolete and painful to maintain; pretty much every new version of glib, gtk, other library keeps on breaking them. Looking at candidates to drop, I currently come across: libgnomecanvasmm libgnomeuimm libgnomeuimm depends as only package in Factory on libgnomecanvasmm, so dropping them together is a good start. There is one more package in Factory depending on libgnomeuimm: cdrdao (actually, the gui part gcdmaster. Frankly, looking at screenshots of this tool, I doubt anybody is seriously still using this. Hence the proposal: - Drop cdrdao As an alternative, we should as a minimum at least get rid of gcdmaster and the dependency of cdrdao on libgnomeuimm. Options? Comments?

The systemd writer said to optimize boot get rid of initrd. I did that, and my system booted in half the time. Now you want me to go back to that. No thanks. If it is systemd's advice to not use initrd to optimize boot... why is suse disabling the ability to optimize boot? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Packaging has apparently changed for vlc. If you update to vlc-2.0.6-115.2.x86_64, note that the codecs have been separated and need to be installed, vlc-codecs-2.0.6-115.2.x86_64 or you cannot play broken/restricted/drm'ed music.
