[opensuse-factory] [VMware-Workstation KO] Failed to build vmnet after last openSUSE update

Hello all I just did a mega zypper update of opensuse Factory tonight - I thought that I would avoid the rush :) This was a big mistake as far as VMware-Workstation is concerned because after updating some ~530 packages (new kernal etc) VMware Workstation can no longer compile the vmnet module.

[opensuse-factory] After upgrade from 13.1 boot process is stuck at 'Loading initial ramdisk...'
by Robert Munteanu 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Hi, I just upgraded from 13.1 to 13.2 using zypper dup. I am running a W520 with encrypted LVM. Bootloader is grub2. Booting now gets stuck with the message in $SUBJECT. The root/path to initrd are correct, I've verified them with the grub2 console. The linux line correctly contains pci=noacpi, which is required to boot with this laptop. Keyboard input is still available, as I can press 'Caps Lock' and the corresponding LED lights up or down, but nothing is echoed on the console. How can I debug/fix the boot process? Thanks, Robert -- http://robert.muntea.nu/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] .changes file merging
by Adrian Schröter 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Just wanted to do something useful again this morning :) build.opensuse.org has now a new special merge tool installed, which will be used to merge suse style changelog files (<package>.changes). This is supposed to solve the typical breakage when you branch from some package and upstream and you are applying modifications. While most modifications can just get merged, the .changes file always lead to a broken package. This was because the diff3 tool, which we use (as almost every other SCM) does not understand the format of it and just saw conflicting lines. .changes files are now merged by the new bs_mergechanges tool. It is merging by parsing the files and sorting by timestamps. In case it does still fail, eg. upstream and you did change an existing entry in different ways, the standard diff3 tool will be used to display the conflicts. You do not need to update any client tools, osc will get the merged files directly from the source server. In short, most of you will not even notice a difference to before. You will just see less often merge conflicts in your branches. Already existing conflicts from the time before deployment will be detected automatically over the next days. But it takes some time. -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Is plymouth supposed to be animated in openSUSE 13.2
by Roman Bysh 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Hello all, I just installed plymouth and gfx boot. All I see is a copy of the green wallpaper as part of plymouth for a number of seconds and switches to black. Isn't plymouth supposed to have some animation? -- Cheers!

[opensuse-factory] another serious systemd bug: systemd automounting umounted 'devices'/partitions.
by Linda Walsh 28 Oct '14

The previous discussion that you quote had auto-remounting happen despite inclusion of "noauto". Now it "only" happens in situations that should ***NEVER*** occur unless someone (or something -- like a kernel) with administrative privileges has manually unmounted. If that's the case --- then something automounting it again is horrible problem -- if there was file corruption causing the unmount, or if suspected file corruption causes an admin to unmount a file system, having a something in the background try to auto-remount such an file system could cause a severe increase of corruption -- not just on that file system, but on the system as a whole -- where it could very easily crash the system. I.e. if a file system that was set for auto-mounting at boot is found to be "unmounted", than any attempt to mount it is "glossing over" the reason why the file system became unmounted in the first place and quite possibly contributing to its corruption or, in worst case, loss of the data on the file system. >>>>>>>>>> /etc/fstab != /etc/auto.xxx... <<<<<<<<<<<<< > > Date: Sat, 24 May 2014 19:07:18 -0400 > From: Michael Fischer <> > To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org > Subject: [opensuse] Why is systemd[1] is mounting noauto partitions? > > You participated in that thread :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] (proposal) Persistent Live USB more trouble than help, fix or remove
by Roger Luedecke 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Many users notice performance problems with the persistent live images, particularly in relation to what is needed for them to be persistent. In my personal experience, I can never use them more than once since they will stop working after the first boot. Many other users report incredibly slow booting and horrible performance lag. Users propose a means to toggle the behavior from GRUB when the Live image is being used. If infeasible, I think we should remove it altogether and instead direct users to roll their own with SUSE Studio. -- Roger Luedecke <roger.luedecke(a)gmail.com> openSUSE 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] Great release team
by Trent Hawkins 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Apart from the issues i experienced with the live image, after installation to my hard drive i've been thoroughly impressed with this release. I love the artwork and overall aesthetics too. Bit bummed about the disappearance of the nice grub theme i had in my opensuse 13.1 install though. Now just boring text on black background at boot. Crossover 14 installed smoothly for me this time too.
