[opensuse-factory] the position of Tumbleweed
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Followed with interest the discussion about the development of factory, but wondered if Tumbleweed should not have a prominent place between current and factory. I choose to use Tumbleweed because it would give me a platform which was closely following factory and would even automatically upgrade my system to in the actual case 13.2. For the moment I have the feeling that we as group are hanging at the end of the development. For example, in Tumbleweed I am still working with KDE 4.12.4 and practically everybody else works with 4.13. Would be nice to have a general discussion about the place of Tumbleweed and its future. -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 and LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 13.1 (i586) Kernel: 3.15.0-33.g9194b64-default KDE Development Platform: 4.12.4 10:28am up 13:20, 3 users, load average: 3.51, 2.73, 1.98 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Suggerence: use xz instead of gzip in "/etc/cron.daily/suse.de-backup-rpmdb"
by Carlos E. R. 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, The system script "/etc/cron.daily/suse.de-backup-rpmdb" uses gzip as compressor, when it could use something more modern like 'xz'. I changed it on my system and it works: # if gzip -9 < /var/lib/rpm/$PACKAGEDBFILE > $NEWNAME.gz; then if xz < /var/lib/rpm/$PACKAGEDBFILE > $NEWNAME.xz; then ... # rm -f $NEWNAME $NEWNAME.gz rm -f $NEWNAME $NEWNAME.xz It compresses to half the space (from 100 MB to 50 MB), and as there are several backups (I get 10) the saving is more important. What do you thing? The change is very easy to implement. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-factory] iwlwifi performance down to 40% with kernel 3.14 or kernel 3.15
by Michael Traxler 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

Hi, I observed the following: When I upgrade OpenSuSE13.1 to the kernel 3.14 or 3.15 from factory or the kernel-stable repository, the performance of my Intel Advanced-N 6205 using the /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode firmware drops from the normally reached 24MBytes/s down to 9MBytes/s. No other change at all to the OpenSuSE13.1 installation, just exchanging the kernel. This has been reproduced on two different computers, both using iwlwifi. The bitrate of ~300Mbits/s shown in wavemon is not affected by this problem. Just the reached throughput is down to 40% of the old performance. Both, OpenSuSE13.1 and OpenSuSE13.1 with tumbleweed show the problem. Anyone else has seen this? Is there a workaround? I don't want to miss the new features of the new kernel but also don't want to miss the high bandwidth.... Thanks, Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
