[opensuse-factory] HEADS-UP: logrotate changes
by Cristian Rodríguez 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hi: Today an update to logrotate has hit the factory repositories and I think it is prudent to inform you all about some changes I added to the package and its side effects, either for documentation purposes or JFYI. ;) - Logrotate no longer runs as a cronjob but as a systemd.timer(5) - You can enable/disable log rotation by issuing systemctl enable/disable logrotate.timer - It continues to run just like "cron.daily" with the following bonus perks: * Log rotation will be postponed until your are connected to AC power, in order not drain your precious battery time. * The task will run as soon as possible in case your system was turned off, suspended or otherwise inactive at the time the process was scheduled (requires systemd 212 or later) * If any error is found, the results will be found in the journal (and/or syslog if installed) to see what's going on issue: systemctl status logrotate.service logrotate.timer Observed problems/gotchas: zypp installs packages in an unsuitable order, systemd-presets that enable the timer by default may be installed after the logrotate update. thus it does not get automatically enabled. to ensure things keep running smoothly in your factory installation: $ systemctl enable logrotate.timer $ systemctl start logrotate.timer Have a lot of fun :-) -- Cristian Team PITA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Switch to ifup from NetworkManager make system unusable
by Ken Schneider - Factory 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Due to on going problems with NetworkManager not working for /me/ I changed to ifup method. The results created a system that was */NOT/* usable. I could not login to tty1 at all. Trying to use root resulted in an error that the login name was invalid. Trying to use my login name would not accept my password. Login via tty[2-6] would let me login but I would get auto-logged out after approximately 30 seconds making any effort to trouble shoot the problem fruitless. Fortunately I was able to ssh to the problem laptop and yast to change back to NetworkManager for the network and the system booted properly. openSUSE 13.1 --> Tumbleweed Toshiba Satellite L75D-A7288 Is anyone else seeing this problem? -- Ken Schneider -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] XWayland
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a. Dimstar 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hi all! GNOME 3.12.0 has been integrated into GNOME:Factory (submission to openSUSE:Factory due in time), and we started looking at the 'next wish on the list', coming from users, which happens to be GNOME on Wayland. In a branch, I configured the entire GNOME stack as required, without any big issues. There is one very important component missing though: * XWayland Seems our X Server in Factory does not know the -wayland parameter, and as a consequence, it is not possible to trigger a whole GNOME Session on top of wayland (using weston, it remains possibly to launch parts of it, but that's no fun). Are there any plans already to get XWayland into Factory as well? AFAIK, the code base has been merged into X Codebase after a three year effort (Kudos to the people hanging in there for so long). If this is no target for 13.2, then there won't be any reason for the GNOME Team to enable the stack neither of course; Cheers, Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] pulsaudio, broken after kernel update
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 05 Apr '14

05 Apr '14

After the last zypper dup in Tumbleweed which mainly got me the latest kernel (see signature) my sound has gone. Pulseaudio is there, uses a lot of my cpu (22 to 60%). On my KDE desktop I have standard running kmail, chromium and skype (which of course is also not working) Remembering from the past i played around with Yast, sound and alsaconf. alsactl kill and alsactl start did nothing. A reboot with the second last kernel ( 3.14.0-22.g79de0a7-default) gave me my sound back and pulseaudio without cpu use. Am I the only one with this problem? A bug report? - - Linux User 183145 using KDE4 and LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 13.1 (i586) Kernel: 3.14.0-23.gfa168d7-default KDE Development Platform: 4.12.3 14:54pm up 0:45, 4 users, load average: 2.80, 3.95, 4.64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

It will consult device.map only if called with deprecated (hdX) disk designation. openSUSE today puts /dev/disk/by-id in bootloader configuration. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] HEADS up: GNOME:Factory breakae
by Dominique Leuenberger 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Hi all, Just want to inform you that GNOME:Factory is currently seeing the integration of GNOME 3.12.0 (Factory targeted) and is due to this not in the best of shapes; I expect the builders to catch up shortly and have a stable repository published soon. The integration work had been done earlier in GNOME:Next, so in general we know what is coming and what is missing. Ensure to already read up on all the goodies GNOME 3.12.0 will bring you, like some redesigned apps (like gedit, videos, pocket integration into gnome-online-accounts...)

[opensuse-factory] grub2 vs. by-label
by Sascha Peilicke 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Hi guys, our default grub2 configuration always uses UUIDs. For several reasons, I'd like to use labels instead but when looking at the scripts that generate /boot/grub2/grub.cfg it looks like UUID is more or less the only thing that works. So before I start tinkering with the scripts I'm curious if there is some prior art around already. -- Viele Grüße, Sascha Peilicke -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] network install, but no network interfaces configured? iproute2 wasn't even installed?
by Per Jessen 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

I'm guessing that Factory is now supposed to work as a single-phase installation? Or do I still run /usr/lib/Yast/startup/Yast.ssh when the system boots the first time? On this system, no interfaces were configured on the first boot-up, and /usr/lib/Yast/startup/Yast.ssh didn't want to run because run_me_at_boot wasn't found. I tried "ip addr" to check the network interfaces, but iproute2 wasn't even installed? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
