[opensuse-factory] Integration of YaST in Ruby
by David Majda 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hi, as promised in my yesterday's mail [1], here is a plan of integration of YaST in Ruby into the openSUSE M4. Please let me know if you have any comments or objections. Description ----------- Technically, the integration consists of the following steps: 1. Freeze YaST Git repositories. 2. Do the final translation of frozen code into Ruby (with final versions of YCP Killer and Y2R, which would be labeled as 1.0 at that point). 3. Commit translated Ruby code into master branches of affected YaST repositories. Create tags marking the last YCP-based version and first Ruby-based version. 4. Increase version of all YaST modules to 3.0 (as previously discussed [2]). 5. Wait for YaST packages in YaST:head to build (this will happen automagically after comitting the changes). 6. Submit new YaST packages into Factory. 7. Unfreeze YaST Git repositories. 8. Grab a beer and celebrate the beginning of new shiny Ruby era :-) Plan ---- We think the best time to do the work above is during 3 days from Wednesday July 31 to Friday August 2. This means we would still have few weeks to finish our tooling, stabilize & test everything, and get ready for integration. These dates also fit best vacation schedules and other constrains of people involved. At the same time, there will be still some days before the M4 release. Our goal is actually to accomplish everything on the list on Wednesday July 31 already. Think of the remaining two days as a reserve in case of unforeseen problems (build service trouble, conflicting upstream changes, etc.). So, what do you think? ----- [1] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2013-07/msg00265.html [2] http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2013-05/msg00040.html -- David Majda SUSE Studio developer http://susestudio.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] BtrFS Usage/Complaints
by Jeff Mahoney 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hi all - Over the past year, btrfs has received substantial attention in the areas of both stability and performance. I've been running it, personally, on a 4 TB data volume as well as my root partitions for my openSUSE 12.2/12.3 systems. I've been able to do stress tests like a long fsmark run simultaneously with creating and removing snapshots (with syncs to force them to disk) and haven't run into any issues. David Sterba, who's been leading the charge at SUSE for btrfs stability has likewise regularly run it through an array of torture tests and has found that problems are occurring a whole lot less frequently than they have in the past. The upstream btrfs community in which we participate has also started focusing less on feature development and more on stability and performance. But these are only anecdotal data points from two file system guys and if my experiences working for a major operating systems vendor have taught me anything, it's that our users can be a lot more creative at finding ways to break things than we are. ;) So, I'd like to hear your stories. What's worked for you? What hasn't worked? What would you consider the pain points with using btrfs? Lastly, I'd like to ask that you take the opportunity to test with the latest openSUSE Factory kernel running 3.10-final. 12.3 used the 3.7 kernel since it was the most recent release going into the beta cycle and we've seen a bunch of btrfs fixes since that release. I look forward to your feedback and the opportunity to improve btrfs for the 13.1 release and future releases. Thanks! -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs

[opensuse-factory] NM Plasmoid not starting during desktop start up in Milestone 3
by Roman Bysh 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

Hello List mates, In this version of openSUSE 13.1 M3, is the networkmanagement plasmoid supposed to start up when the system boots to plasma-desktop? Or are we going to set it up manually via Yast? Or auto startup as was done in 12.3? Cheers! Roman ------------------------------------------------------- openSUSE -- Get it! Discover it!

[opensuse-factory] milestone 3 - what the status of networking?
by Per Jessen 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

I've just upgraded to/from factory-snapshot, and during bootup, the network seems a little confused. I get DHCP running on the wrong interface, which means my iSCSI root isn't found. I tried "ifup ethx" at the emergency shell, and was told that "Network is managed by '' --> skipping". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (25.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

I downloaded the live iso and installed it. duringthe the kernel does not get installed. I worked around this by chroot /mnt launching yast . package manager and ticking kernel-desktop this is after changing the repo from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1-Milestone2/oss to factory and reinstalling the kernel.

I installed HTTP started by Grub using latest factory-snapshot with nomodeset on cmdline. Graphical install worked fine, though slow with only 384M RAM, but resulting X is unusable. The left half of the screen is fine, but the right side is a mess, as if there were some kind of buffer misalignment repeating portions and omitting others.

[opensuse-factory] dracut tests
by Per Jessen 12 Jul '13

12 Jul '13

Starting a new thread - it's my last day at work before two weeks holiday, I felt like playing with dracut a bit. Per Jessen wrote: > On a test-system running 12.3: > > 1st attempt: Running dracut with the default options produced an > initrd of 27Mb, more than 4 times bigger than the initrd made by > mkinitrd.

Ah, "--hostonly" helps a lot - that got me a 4.4Mb initrd in 13seconds, about 30% smaller than with mkinitrd. The next thing is to see if works. This build seemed to include a lot less stuff/modules than mkinitrd. I guess I need to add some modules. Problem - I need 'iscsi', which is supposedly a dracut module, but when I try to build it, I get E: dracut module 'iscsi' cannot be found or installed. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
