[opensuse-factory] Milestone #2 and nouveau driver
by Basil Chupin 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

What incantations does one need to use and how many times does one need to wave a chicken foot while doing so to get rid of the nouveau driver in Milestone #2, please? :-) I want to install nVidia driver 319.23 but it won't "go in" because the nouveau driver refuses to be dismissed even though I have removed it using YaST and it is blacklisted in all the right places. :-( BC -- Using openSUSE 12.3, KDE 4.10.4 & kernel 3.9.6-1 on a system with- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel Corsair "Vengeance" RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX550Ti 1GB DDR5 GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I've been told to push pdfpc forward. At this moment pdfpc[1] is build in my home prj. What devel prj should I choose as new home for pdfpc package? Publishing or something with GNOME in namespace?

I have changed snapper and also added a manpage snapper-configs(5).

[opensuse-factory] Status: Distribution
by Stephan Kulow 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, Friday I switched to gcc 4.8 and triggered a full rebuild of openSUSE:Factory and yesterday we integrated KDE 4.11 beta. What bothers me at the moment are broken live cds and the fact that I didn't have working DVDs for the last weeks. I still hope we can have M3 this week though.

[opensuse-factory] Submitting python-construct and python-pybeam to Factory.
by Matwey V. Kornilov 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

This message is to introduce two packages which are being sent to Factory. python-construct is required by python-pybeam python-pybeam is required by https://github.com/openSUSE/rpmlint-checks/pull/2 (rpmlint) and is being sent to Factory in order to provide dependencies to this pull-requrest. python-construct description is located at its package page at OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-const… Summarizing, python-construct is declarative binary data parser for Python, able to parse such things like Ext2fs, Fat, ELF binaries, and so on. python-construct may be interesting not only as requirement for python-pybeam, but as powerful python module for people dealing with binary data format and network protocols. python-pybeam is Erlang VM BEAM format parser, based on python-construct module. python-pybeam makes it possible to do deep inspection of BEAM executable files. Initial purpose for python-pybeam was to implement rpmlint checks for erlang packages. The author of python-pybeam is one of the maintainers of devel:languages:erlang. Brief description of pull request #2 to openSUSE/rpmlint-checks: It adds two basic rpmlint checks for erlang packages. Proposed enhancements have been tested in home:matwey:erlang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] normal? or bug? renaming config->config.save when no changes
by Linda Walsh 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

I don't remember this _always_ being the case (occasionally), but not usually. But now 90% of the time I'm seeing ".rpmsave" files that are identical (including date/time) to the ones added. In some cases, I'm 75-80% sure I've made some change, but that change is gone and it's not in the rpmsave file (a few cases, I know it's changed where I keep an RCS dir to manage changes). I thought rpm only saved off rpmsave files when it had a different MD5sum than the original rpm stated? Has that changed or was that a random property of each rpm package or what? I sure preferred the old method of not creating rpmsave files for files that haven't changed only creating rpmsave or similar when there was a user change. What it boils down to is there are 100's of configs, most of which I know nothing about and if they were to change, I wouldn't know if it was good or bad, so I assume good. I'm really only interested where I had to customize something and then something replaces my customized copy. Then I have to look to see if it is still useful or valid...etc.. So...did something change? If it is random, could something change to make the process more regular -- and only create 'old' files when they've been altered -- AND also, if they are different... (have a bunch of rpmsave files in my font dir that are identical to the new ones...)... Simple enough to fix w/a script, but still ... is it possible to not create them in the first place? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello List mates, Has any one thought about openSUSE creating their own font type for their desktops wiki and forums. Ubuntu, Mac and $Microsoft use their own style. Cheers!
