If things work as described in the literature, yes the mapping is done permanently unless you have some exotic tools that allow bad sectors to be put back in service (I don't own those). Anyway, I had a client pay me to confirm "shred"s reality matched theory on a range of drives. That client runs shred against 10's of thousands of hard disks a year. They wanted an independent assessment that it would work even in the presence of bad media, bad cables, etc. or that shred would properly error out if it could not run to completion for whatever reason. That client would then note in their normal process that shred failed to complete and physically destroy the drive. They are extremely conscientious of data destruction.

As soon as I start my Laptop, as well as my dektop, PackageKit is running to update. In both cases it is not possible to stop PackageKit to stop, it is blocked by pid 8993. Restart does not help.

[opensuse-factory] A note for the developers
by Basil Chupin 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Just a note for the developers who put together, for example, the installation group of files and those who do KDE files which contain references to cities of the world for setting time zones and similar. The capital of Australia is CANBERRA, repeat Canberra, and not, say, Sydney or Melbourne (on the East coast). I have yet to see Canberra shown anywhere in the list of cities re time zones, or - when installing oS - the one of the cities one sees listed is Sydney when selecting the time zone. OK, Sydney is a city in the state of New South Wales but it is NOT the Capital of Australia. Thank you for listening.

[opensuse-factory] calibre
by Cor Blom 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Hi all, Calibre in factory is a bit old. I think we should at least have the last from the 1.x series, which is 1.48.0. To this end I have submitted SR#250476 a week ago. Maybe I am too impatient, but 13.2 is near and nothing has happened with this request yet. Regards, Cor P.S.: Of course it would be best to have the latest from the 2.x series (2.4.0 at the moment), which requires qt5, but for me that would be too much work at the moment. However, I saw that lemmy04 has a subproject for this version in his home project. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Inconsistencies between Dutch YaST .po files and latest snapshot
by Freek de Kruijf 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

I see a number of inconsistencies between what is in the current Dutch YaST .po files in trunk and what I see when installing the latest .iso snapshot 20141004. What is the work flow for including the latest translations in what becomes openSUSE 13.2 and openSUSE Factory. Also 13.2 Beta1 lags behind the content of the translation. -- fr.gr.
