[opensuse-factory] about installing/configuring/using lightdm
by Felix Miata 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Does it have its own working greeter? If so, by what name in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager? The help text in that file is little help. This is what I tried that does not result in any greeter when graphical.target is active: ## Type: string(kdm,kdm3,kdm4,xdm,gdm,wdm,entrance,console) ## Default: "" # # Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/entrance/console). # all changes in this file require a restart of the displaymanager # DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm" Does a lightdm greeter require some package not among the following dm/kde/lightd packages I have installed? bundle-lang-kde-en dmz-icon-theme-cursors gdmflexiserver kde4-filesystem kde4-kgreeter-plugins kdebase4-artwork kdebase4-libkonq kdebase4-openSUSE kdebase4-runtime kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream kdebase4-session kdebase4-wallpaper-default kdebase4-workspace kdebase4-workspace-branding-upstream kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd kdebase4-workspace-liboxygenstyle kdelibs4 kdelibs4-branding-upstream kdelibs4-core kdepimlibs4 libXdmcp6 libdmtx0 libdmx1 libkde4 libkdecore4 libkdepimlibs4 liblightdm-gobject liblightdm-qt libmodman1 lightdm lightdm-kde-greeter polkit-kde-agent xdm xdmbgrd-0.6 The above is from a fresh 64 bit minimal X HTTP install of Factory which after first boot I tried to add lightdm and make it default with zypper and text editor, without graphical.target running, or help from YaST.

[opensuse-factory] Boost/Imagemagick update collisions in Factory
by Tomáš Chvátal 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hello guys, Seems there are few collisions when I updated my factory box after 2 weeks: File /etc/ImageMagick-6/delegates.xml from install of libMagickCore-6_Q16-1-6.8.8.1-2.1.x86_64(openSUSE-Factory-Oss) conflicts with file from package libMagickCore-6_Q8-1-6.8.6.9-3.1.x86_64(@System) File /usr/lib64/mpi.so from install of libboost_mpi1_54_0-1.54.0-4.1.x86_64(openSUSE-Factory-Oss) conflicts with file from package libboost_mpi1_53_0-1.53.0-6.2.x86_64(@System) I guess there should be confilcts/obsoletes on the new packages to the old ones so we allow proper rolling. But I might be wrong so sending to ml instead of as bugs so you can think about it too :) Cheers Tom

[opensuse-factory] Anyone wants to maintain puppet?
by Vojtěch Dziewięcki 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I would like to ask if anyone is interested in maintaining this package. I find maintaining it too difficult because: 1. It's written in ruby, which I don't know at all, 2. Has security vulnerabilities often and I find it difficult to backport upstream patches to the versions we maintain, 3. I don't use it so I don't have a deep understanding of how it should work etc., 4. I became maintainer accidentally, I got it after a colleague who quit job. As a result, I'm afraid I won't be able to ensure that puppet will be in usable state in SLE 12. If someone is interested, please tell me, I can provide the list of bugs that are open now.

[opensuse-factory] KDE 4.12.2 is now in Tumbleweed
by Greg KH 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Just a heads up that KDE 4.12.2 is now in Tumbleweed, so you all should see a lot of packages asked to be updated the next time you run 'zypper dup'. Many thanks to Jiri Slaby for doing all of the hard work in making this happen, and to the KDE openSUSE developers for packaging it up so nicely that this could happen at all in the first place. If anyone has any problems, please let us know here on the Factory list. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Plymouth Maintainership
by Mark van Tinteren 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

As some of you might know i took maintainer-ship of and Plymouth however a recent change in my work schedule makes me unable to find as much time for it as i would wish. So i feel i should relinquish the maintainer ship to someone who will have the time to spend on it that it needs or if someone would like to co maintain it that would be great too. Sorry about this folks but i'd hate to make it up with neglect.

[opensuse-factory] Warning: Issues with latest libzypp
by Raymond Wooninck 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

I should have know better than update libzypp during the weekend. Weekend updates don't have a good reputation as that most of the time things are breaking, which seems also the case with the libzypp update. Starting now YaST software manager, directly gives me a whole bunch of packages that are going to be installed. And I didn'*t even selected anything. Packages like Texlive, apparmor, britty, libreoffice. Even after removing all the patterns-openSUSE packages, this big selection keeps on coming back. So don't update libzypp/zypper or be very careful when running an update through YaST. It seems that running just zypper functions as expected.

[opensuse-factory] Announcement: Intention to drop package qutim from Factory
by Raymond Wooninck 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

Dear Listmates, With this email, I would like to indicate that the openSUSE KDE Community team has the intention to send a delete request for the package qutim in openSUSE:Factory. Qutim will still be available in KDE:Extra, however only for the combination openSUSE 13.1 and KDE 4.12 or lower combinations. The main reason is that the package seems to have been abandoned upstream as that the last change was about 2.5 years ago. For those that do not know the package, qutIM is a free and open-source multiprotocol (ICQ, Jabber, Mail.Ru, IRC, VKontakte) instant messenger for Windows, Linux, MacOS X, OS/2, Symbian, Maemo/MeeGo, Solaris and *BSD.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Cheat Sheet - Technical Input Needed
by Richard Brown 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

Hi All, I know this is a strange request for the Mailinglist to discuss the technical development of our distribution, but hopefully the logic for reaching out to the technical experts who live here will be obvious The Design Team @SUSE are putting together an openSUSE Flyer with a Cheat Sheet of useful/important commands for anyone using openSUSE via the CLI They kindly provided a 'prototype' version of the sheet at FOSDEM, and it was a huge success, but it's obvious the list of commands was a little out of date (it was based on an old sheet) The first 'official' version of this sheet is likely to be circulation for at least a few years, so I want to make sure it's accurate and relevant for at least 13.1 but ideally also aligned with how we're likely to go in 13.2 Please go to the sheet on my ownCloud instance and edit the document https://sysrich.co.uk/owncloud/public.php?service=documents&t=d619d6b00b118… Feel free to remove commands that are obsolete, or add new ones that are the 'right' way of doing things. The Goal is to have 7-8 'sections' with around 10 lines of info per section They need to get these things printed fast - so you probably only have a day or two at most to contribute - Sorry for the short notice, that's my fault for sitting on this Thanks in advance Richard Brown openSUSE Board -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Plymouth maintainer-ship
by Mark van Tinteren 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

After only a week or so of being maintainer of this package I feel I have to relinquish maintainer-ship of this package. The reasons for this are that after reworking the entire package this weekend and bringing it in-sync with upstream development and as i got ready to submit said changes. I found that some of you found it necessary to submit and approve your own patches without even as much as a heads up. This creates unnecessary extra work and apparently being the maintainer of a package does'nt mean much. If any of you would like to take over Plymouth please let me know.

[opensuse-factory] Proposed KVM related packaging changes
by Bruce Rogers 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

All, I proposed making some KVM related packaging changes. Motivation: Certain aspects of KVM support have changed over time, and we should adjust to better align to the current state of affairs. Among these are: - the KVM modules have been included with the base kernel for quite some time - there is no longer a qemu / qemu-kvm code split upstream qemu handles KVM completely - on x86, since v3.7 the KVM kernel modules are auto loaded based on detection of the required hardware virtualization features Our current kvm package originally included the KVM kernel modules, as well as the QEMU binaries which supported KVM acceleration. As noted above conditions have changed to where a kvm package has little of its original purpose. The qemu package now has the basic support for using KVM, and about the only meaningful use of a kvm package would be for KVM related configuration or deliverables which would not be appropriate (for whatever reason) in the qemu package. The current content of the kvm package in OBS Virtualization includes: - dependency on qemu package - a recommends for virt-utils - the legacy qemu-kvm executable, which is simply a wrapper for the QEMU provided executable with the parameter added that enables KVM acceleration. I believe this wrapper still provides the useful feature of having an executable name, compatible with prior kvm enabled usage. - man page for qemu-kvm (which maps to qemu) - a udev rule to change permissions and group ownership of /dev/kvm to be compatible with current libvirt usage as well as non-libvirt based (ie QEMU command line) kvm group administration. - a qemu-ifup script which I find useful for testing and creating simple usage scenarios - a kvm_stat tool which allows for monitoring of the lower level KVM module activities of the running KVM guests - in the case of the SLES version of the kvm package, a place for additional modprobing, and support documentation, which in effect, rounds out the complete base support for KVM. I propose that we rename (essentially) the kvm package to be qemu-kvm. This is partly to reduce the number of maintained packages, as I envision this simply being a subpackage of qemu. This will also make versioning simpler to maintain. This package will maintain a dependency on qemu. I propose that the permissions and group ownership udev rule be moved from qemu-kvm to the base qemu package so that libvirt and etc. can function without the qemu-kvm package, providing for a slightly smaller package set and simpler configuration. I propose that the recommends dependency for virt-utils be removed. If the additional features and documentation still remaining in qemu-kvm (the qemu-kvm wrapper and man page, the sample qemu-ifup script, the kvm_stat debug utility, possible scripts for modprobing of additional kernel modules which enhance qemu-kvm usage (eg vhost-net), and the support documentation) are desired, then that package may be installed, but it is not considered essential for basic KVM support. The virt-utils package currently provides little value. It was envisioned as a place to collect generic utilities useful for either KVM or Xen virtualization, but to date very little has been done there. QEMU based utilities are now in qemu-tools, and the only utility in virt-utils is the unmaintained vm-snapshot-disk. I propose that we eliminate this package, but if there is objection, and someone relies on the vm-snapshot-disk feature, we can keep it, but not have it be part of the default set of rpms installed by KVM Host Server pattern. If there are dependencies on the kvm package name which will take time to remove, we could have that stripped down package simply require qemu-kvm in the interim. Comments on these proposed changes are of course welcome. Thanks, Bruce Rogers

[opensuse-factory] Anyone interested in createrepo maintainership?
by Vincent Untz 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Hi, For some reason, createrepo bugs are sent my way nowadays, while I never touched this package. Is there anyone who'd be interested in taking over? You could start with a simple bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841280 (it seems the patch mentioned there could be dropped) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openQA & igor
by Michal Hrusecky 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Hi, during the weekend I was at RedHat DevConf and I had a lightning talk about openQA there. Afterwards, I spoke with various guys and found out, that they are working on their testing solutions as well, although not focused on GUI apps as openQA is. General feedback from them was that they like it and they'll take a look at it again at some point and why does it have to be in perl (I guess there are people that don't like this language for some reason) :-D One of the solutions they have already is Igor (more info bellow). It injects the service to run the tests and uses PXE to boot testing machines. Therefor it is not limited to virtual machines, but can do real hardware as well. It also has a support for libvirt. It's not something that we can merge into openQA right a way, but might be worth keeping an eye on it and maybe at some point we can help each other... ----- Forwarded message from Fabian Deutsch ----- > Hey Michal, > > we talked a bit about testing a distribution over a beer at devconf > 2014. > > I just wanted to drop you two links: > repo: https://github.com/fabiand/igor/ > info: http://dummdida.tumblr.com/tagged/igor > > At the second link you can find a couple of posts (I recommend the one > including the video) describing igor. > > As also noted yesterday I haven't got a plan how we can align or > cooperate - but maybe we find something in the future :) > > Greetings > fabian ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Michal Hrusecky <Michal(a)Hrusecky.net> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Does drpmsync.opensuse.org still exist?
by Andreas Buschka 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

Hello@all, http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirror_infrastructure mentions the possibility to sync one's own Factory mirror faster by using differential RPM for syncing, but I have so far never been able to reach this server using the sample command line given (drpmsync drpmsync.opensuse.org:8888/Factory /my/directory). So, my question is: Is the service still there?

[opensuse-factory] Suggestions for openSUSE team regarding factory stability and TW as rolling distro
by Baron Kelvin 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Dear all, There's an idea growing in my mind that was spawned by latest announcement from The Team and I'd like to share it with you. I'm just a user, and a novice to the oSS mailinglists at that so please excuse my ignorance on the subject. To start with full disclosure/background first: I'm a TW user and the reason I moved to it is specifically because I've read somewhere GKH is the maintainer. The only time I've used SuSE before that was in 2005, when oSS wasn't. Anyway, to the point: Since The Team expressed wish to move to improving the backbone and the goal of having functional factory, wouldn't it be a sensible idea introduce a monthly freeze? Have a frozen-factory where the packages wouldn't be updated for a month to allow bugfixing for the next month when the new refresh would be done. That is where TW would come in. Have a rolling distro that _is_ frozen-factory and is used by users and developers _and_ has the stability potential. Obviously here the new structure would need to be made and this is something you (oSS team) wants anyway. I'd like to contribute in any way possible to extent of my abilities. I'd really like to hear what you gentlemen have to say on the topic since I personally have no experience to the inner workings here but would _really_ like oSS to thrive. The quality as is is something that many strive for in the Linux community but few posses and oSS is one of them.
