Re: [opensuse-factory] repository priorities with Tumbleweed

> No, please don't confuse people, if you add more repos than just > Tumbleweed you really had better know what you are doing or bad things > can, and will, happen :) I understand. I just would like to add the following to http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed - between ## is the new stuff: "The only supported method of repo use for Tumbleweed is to have only the main repos (Oss, Non-oss, and Update) and the Tumbleweed repo active. ## If you use more repositorys you have to know how repo-priorities work, but even then Tumblweed does NOT support this ## " It would also be good to move this information to "Special concerns" and to move the whole "Special concerns"-section up. For example "Special Concerns Virtual Machines ... Third Party Drivers ... ## Non-Standard Repos: Only use Oss, Non-oss, and Update combined with the Tumbleweed-Standard repo. Everything else is not supported and might break the system ## " >You do know the legal reasons behind why packman is there, right? Yes. Then I do not whish you personaly to support Packman with TW - I understand now that this is not possible from your perspectivg. But...as the OS community discusses right now if/how to strengthen Tumbleweed... one way would be, that Packman+TW would be supported BY Packman. So I will ask the Packman-guys to do that... I hope this is possible for them. Without Packman Tumbleweed is so ... "anti-multimedia" ;) thanks anyway :D -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Monospace font issue
by Kyrill Detinov 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hello. Recently updated my Factory running workstation (x86_64, Xfce). Monospace font interval is increased badly. I'm sure, I use DejaVu Sans Mono as a monospace font. I choose 'monospace 9' in programs settings. There is a screenshot: http://susepaste.org/view/simple/38919191 Changing to 'DejaVu Sans Mono 9': http://susepaste.org/view/simple/70371539 It looks like it was before. % fc-match Monospace Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/56-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. please move it to /home/kent/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf manually Monospace: "Monospace" "Regular" -- WBR Kyrill

[opensuse-factory] systemd version 210 Heads Up
by Raymond Wooninck 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Hi List Mates, Just a very early warning with regards to the latest released systemd version (version 210). In the release notes the following two items will have an effect on people that are utilizing laptops with a docking station and an external monitor. * logind is now a lot more aggressive when suspending the machine due to a closed laptop lid. Instead of acting only on the lid close action it will continuously watch the lid status and act on it. This is useful for laptops where the power button is on the outside of the chassis so that it can be reached without opening the lid (such as the Lenovo Yoga). On those machines logind will now immediately re-suspend the machine if the power button has been accidentally pressed while the laptop was suspended and in a backpack or similar. * logind will now watch SW_DOCK switches and inhibit reaction to the lid switch if it is pressed. This means that logind will not suspend the machine anymore if the lid is closed and the systemd is docked, if the laptop supports SW_DOCK notifications via the input layer. Note that ACPI docking stations do not generate this currently. Also note that this logic is usually not fully sufficient and Desktop Environments should take a lid switch inhibitor lock when an external display is connected, as systemd will not watch this on its own. The first item concerns a change that systemd is monitoring if the lid is closed or not. This monitoring starts already during the system boot process which would lead to the effect that the system is forced into suspend mode even before the login manager is reached. To prevent this, the second item was implemented, however as indicated current kernels (including the latest 3.14- rc4) do not support this yet for all laptops. The issue however is that the system will not reach the Desktop Environment yet as that this new principle already kicks in during the boot process. So implementing a lid switch inhibitor in GNOME/KDE/etc does not make any sense as that the system will never reach the desktop environment. I had a couple of email conversations with Lennart about this topic yesterday and finally with my last message he got the real issue that this happens during system boot and therefore systemd should handle this properly. He indicated that he will resolve the issue in one of the upcoming versions of systemd and also probably move the external monitor detection out of the DEs into logind. (The situation will then be that if the lid is closed and an external monitor is connected, then systemd will not suspend the system). If the decision is taken by the systemd maintainers, then in my opinion it would be good to revert the two commits in systemd version 210 that implement the two items mentioned so that the old lid switch behavior is restored.

[opensuse-factory] New Package - libhal1-flash (re-enabling Flash-Player DRM content on Linux)
by Christopher Horler 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Good afternoon! I've written and packaged a compatibility library for flash to enable playback of DRM content (this removes the dependency on the HAL package). I'd like to know what steps I can take to have the package considered for inclusion in openSUSE 12.3 and 13.1. Can I submit the package to devel:openSUSE:Factory, or is there another action I should be taking? Details of the bug and links to upstream are here (please briefly review): https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768562#c19 OBS location: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=hal-flash&project=home%3Ach… I will maintain the package until such time that HTML5 Video content is a viable alternative or the Flash plugin is completely withdrawn. RPMs, debs... are all available on the build service. Three noteworthy points: - package naming (libhal1-flash) doesn't 100% align with the Shared Library Policy (I've suffixed -flash to make clear this is not a fully functional HAL layer and also to avoid naming conflicts as some distros seem to have a shared library package already named libhal1). - The packages depends on dbus and udisks. It seems to work find when udisks is launched on demand (as for openSUSE 12.3) - The flash-player package could have some kind of RPM dependency on this package to assist the user when looking in YaST (Install / Remove Software) / Package Manager.

[opensuse-factory] libav and multimedia idea
by Tomáš Chvátal 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hello guys, I have created proof of concept libav library with disabled patented codecs in my home project [1]. This means that this library si up par with what we have in chromium and it should be legal to distribute. Apart from the library the repo contains vlc chromium and xbmc (built localy fails on obs, meh) which seems to run fine, just not to play almost anything ^_^. The possibility here is to include all the media players and stuff around it into openSUSE release, where one has to flip the switch in libav (see the spec file) and can build full-fledged-european-edition which can play our sweet movies. Let me know what you think about this plan and what would you use as base devel project for this. Cheers Tom [1] https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Ascarabeus_iv
