[opensuse-factory] Release lifetime
by Carlos E. R. 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just noticed today of another user not knowing that 12.2 was not maintained anymore. In fact, he asked why he was getting an error: Warning: Repository 'openSUSE-12.2-Update' appears to be outdated. Consider using a different mirror or server. Could we somehow have something (YaST?) warning the user when the system he is using is close to the end of its supported lifetime, or past it? There could be a package or file, part of aaa_base or openSUSE-release perhaps, or a dependency, updated just at the lifetime end, that changes a file telling YaST to warn the user. Then, if the system is switched over to evergreen, that file gets updated, and there are no more warning, till evergreen stops maintenance as well. The admin could override that file easily, if he wishes. Would this be feasible? :-) It could be a line in /etc/os-release, containing the end date. The format admits customized extensions. Then a check when yast starts, or some modules of it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-factory] No way to set hostname/configure network during installation?
by Andrey Borzenkov 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

I could not find any way to do it using up to date factory images. Is it intentional or work is still in progress? Not having ability to do it makes one stage installation basically useless as you need to postprocess it always (and changing hostname normally requires reboot anyway). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] using gdb in inst-sys to get backtraces

Is there some easy way to use gdb in inst-sys? Right now the binary is not even included, and even if it would be there the debuginfo files would be missing. If the system to debug has enough memory it shouldnt be hard to load more required files into memory to simplify backtrace gathering, like in bnc#867919 Olaf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Drop lightspark
by Cristian Morales Vega 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

Lightspark is a Flash player. Flash is dead. The package has a tendency to break with new LLVM versions. And the latest release is from one year ago. Right now it fails to build in Factory because of the update to LLVM 3.4. There is a patch in GIT, but I don't really feel like investing time on this. I have never really used it. So, somebody wants it? Otherwise I will send a drop request. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Using Tumbleweed and zypper si -d -- installing package build dependencies
by Luis R. Rodriguez 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hey folks, so I've gone down the OpenSUSE Tumbleweed road and so far I gotta say its pretty great. My only issue so far is the build dependency doesn't seem to work. That or the instructions to install Tumbleweed [0] are lacking a bit more context / repos. I essentially removed all my repos and then went through the click through which worked nicely, and now all the repos I have are: mcgrof@ergon ~/devel/xen (git::master)$ sudo zypper repos # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh --+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+---------+-------- 1 | openSUSE:Stable_OSS | openSUSE:Stable_OSS | Yes | Yes 2 | openSUSE:Stable_Updates | openSUSE:Stable_Updates | Yes | Yes 3 | openSUSE:Stable_non-OSS | openSUSE:Stable_non-OSS | Yes | Yes 4 | openSUSE:Stable_non-OSS__Updates | openSUSE:Stable_non-OSS__Updates | Yes | Yes 5 | openSUSE:Tumbleweed | openSUSE:Tumbleweed | Yes | Yes Doing the 'zypper si -d kernel-desktop' didn't what what I'd expect, I had to manually install ncurses-devel and even make manually to get to build my own kernel. I'm about to try the same with xen and qemu to be able to build my own xen / qemu, but figure before I run into further compile issues. Am I missing repos or is the above example on kernel-desktop just not a good one? Which would have been the right package then?

[opensuse-factory] zypper dup changes glibc from i586 to i686
by Andrey Borzenkov 04 Mar '14

zypper dup after clean network installation without any additional repositories will switch glibc from i586 to i686. Why?

[opensuse-factory] Problems with sata_via and ahci driver on Opensuse 13.1 with chipset Via VT 8237
by Juan Erbes 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

I had upgraded a computer with opensuse 11.3 to 13.1, which worked fine in a computer with a Asus A7V600 motherboard and a Athlon XP2600+ At the first time from the beginin of the installation, I hear a noise coming from the hard disk, like a beat from the HD heads. Once the instalation was completed, I modified the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel and added the module sata_via, and created a new initrd and the system worked better with less beats from the HD heads, but not completely resolved. [ 7.376475] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 [ 7.376483] ata1:00: failed command: READ DMA [ 7.376489] ata1.00: cmd c8/00:40:20:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 32768 in [ 7.376490] res 51/84:2f:20:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x12 (ATA bus error) [ 7.376493] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } (this is nearly the captured images from the computer screens) I found a driver patch from viaarena and downloaded it: http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/via_idepatch_linuxdriverpackage_1.7.0.zip But they are for the kernel 2.26.27.19-5 from 4 years ago, and the sata_via.c is version is 2.4 againsta version 2.6 from the actual kernel 3.11.10-7. The other problem is the system I installed is 32 bits, but on my pc hay have X86-64.

[opensuse-factory] broken dracut? perl-bootloader?
by Felix Miata 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

On Piii/32 bit host gx150 I just did a zypper dup. Each time Dracut was supposed to run, it did little but produce a usage message (Unknown arguments: 3.13.0-rc7-1-default...3.13.3-1-default...), so the new kernel had no initrd, and the old remained as last created, until I made one for the new kernel manually, which came out to 21613K, compared to the previous @ 5824K. /boot/grub/menu.lst did not get updated either. The new initrd failed on boot with "Failed to mount /sysroot".

[opensuse-factory] New package apache2-mod_authn_otp
by Archie Cobbs 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

I'd like to add this package to factory. It's been in Apache:Modules and used in production for several years now. apache2-mod_authn_otp mod_authn_otp is an Apache web server module for two-factor authentication using one-time passwords (OTP) generated via the HOTP/OATH algorithm defined in RFC 4226. This creates a simple way to protect a web site with one-time passwords, using any RFC 4226-compliant hardware or software token device. mod_authn_otp supports both event and time based one-time passwords. It also supports "lingering" which allows the repeated re-use of a previously used one-time password up to a configurable maximum linger time. This allows one-time passwords to be used directly in HTTP authentication without forcing the user to enter a new one-time password for every page load. mod_authn_otp supports both basic and digest authentication, and will auto-synchronize with the user's token within a configurable maximum offset (auto-synchronization is not supported with digest authentication). mod_authn_otp is especially useful for setting up protected web sites that require more security than simple username/password authentication yet also don't require users to install special VPN software, and is compatible with software tokens that run on cell phones.

[opensuse-factory] bluetooth audio performance
by Alejandro Bonilla 02 Mar '14

Hi there, I got a few bluetooth speakers that behave very well but not when the source is my laptop. I'm inclined to think there is either a power management issue or a degradation? of the bluetooth signal after several minutes (10-15). for which I need to go into the Control Panel, disable Bluetooth, set it back on and off it goes well.
