[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Review of the week
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 12 Apr '15

12 Apr '15

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, It ha been rather quiet in the land of Tumbleweed last week - the Easter Weekend (western christian church last week, Eastern this weekend) might have been a cause for this. Nevertheless, we had some snapshots released. The major changes were: Firefox 37 made it into the repositories. the biggest change is likely for users with Turkish locale: the default search engine has been switched to be Yandex. Other than that, we now finally have fully dynamic AppStream meta-data published in Tumbleweed. Each snapshot gets the meta-data updated automatically as well. This means that GNOME Software starts to make a bit more sense, as it actually sees CURRENT software in the repository (for 13.2 this was cheated by injecting an online update with a static set of meta data... something that worked fine for a static release as 13.2, but was not usable for a rolling distribution such as Tumbleweed). As informed earlier [1], not all applications with a .desktop file show up yet, and there might be some work necessary for you if you want your app to show up (at this moment GNOME Software is the only consumer of these metadata, but this is certainly going to change in the future. Also, despite it being called GNOME Software, there should not be anything restricting it to run in a GNOME Desktop). Currently I maintain a short statistical overview of how it bhaves at http://gs-stats.leuenberger.net/ - Not much change is expected in one day normally (except for structural changes as could be seen between the two snapshots 20150316 and 20150318. Next week is very likely again going to be a quiet week: HackWeek [2] [1] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2015-03/msg00073.html [2] https://news.opensuse.org/2015/04/10/next-week-is-hack-week/ Cheers, -- Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar(a)opensuse.org>

[opensuse-factory] fstab, systemd and UUID
by Oliver Neukum 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

Hi, I recently experienced a filesystem issue that forced me to use the rescue system and I saw two issues regarding mounting filesystems that seemed bad to them 1) swap space is mounted by UUID That is problematic. If your swap space is corrupted you use mkswap. There practically is no other option. Doing so, however, you change the UUID and your system comes up without swap pretty much without warning. That is really nasty if you need to do S4 later on. It seems to me that swap should be mounted by device name. 2) systemd while coming up will tell you that a certain UUID is unavailable and fails to boot. That message is more less useless. You pretty much won't find the partition by UUID after you reboot into the rescue system because unless you have superhuman memory or take a photograph you will not have the UUID any more. And even if you had it, you won't find it for the same reason systemd failed to find it. A useful message would tell me where the filesystem was to be mounted at.

[opensuse-factory] sddm greeter inexplicable
by Felix Miata 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

[Fresh 64 bit TW HTTP minimal X installation this AM] 1-By default, control icons are too small to tell what they are for, and there's no hover popup to help. 2-sddm.conf man page claims full documentation available on https://github.com/sddm/sddm but I don't find any type of manual explaining sddm.conf there, where I would expect to find whichever equivalents to kdmrc's (incorporated): AllowNullPasswd= AllowRootLogin= AntiAliasing= ConsoleTTYs= FailFont= FocusPasswd= GreetFont= HiddenUsers= LogoArea= NoPassAllUsers= NoPassEnable= NoPassUsers= PreselectUser=Previous ReserveServers= SelectedUsers=root,one,two,three,four ShowUsers=Selected SortUsers=true StdFont=. TerminateServer= Theme= UserCompletion=true UserList=true UseTheme=false exist or not. 3-Breeze: Only one box to type in doesn't say what goes there. Logins normally require both a username and a password, and the list of users to select from only holds 7.5 with no way to scroll to find the remainder of users or even tell how many users there are. The Maui theme is the only other of the five I dug out of /usr/share/sddm/themes/ with any users list. 4-sddm was selected during installation, and graphical.target got enabled, but there was no X, no greeter, anywhere to be found on a screen or in ps -A output on first several boots. /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager had DISPLAYMANAGER=xdm, even though xdm was explicitly deselected during installation. 5-With Xorg preconfigured to 120 DPI (or worse, using the default 96) via /etc/X11/* and ~/.config/Trolltech.conf font set to size 12 font, and /usr/share/desktop-data/qtrc set to size 12 font, no greeter text is big enough to read (except for the time) without resorting to back strain (leaning uncomfortably forward), eyestrain (squinting) or a magnifier. Escalating DPI to 144 DPI or more brings the fonts close to a reasonable size, but then the DE's DPI is overinflated, leaving consequences like cut-off menu text strings[1] and oversize icons. Looking through /usr/share/sddm/themes it's clear sddm suffers the same problem as most web sites, sizing fonts tiny to suit the stylist instead of suiting normal people with average and worse vision.[2] [1] cf.: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177323 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262695 [2] cf.: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=888055 https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646418 && 177323 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] Restoring support for KDE3 in LibreOffice
by Ilya Chernykh 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Some time ago the support for KDE3 was disabled in our LibreOffice allegedly to "reduce dep graph". But a lot of openSUSE users still use KDE3. The LibreOffice package provides well the KDE3 support feature and openSUSE has all necessary packages needed to build it. Yet my submit-request to re-enable KDE3 support has been rejected. Why people just cannot let us use the desktop we like to? This feature is provided by upstream and openSUSE is one of the remaining distributions that provides KDE3. Why do not we enable the feature? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Too much wasted space in the installer screens
by jcsl 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hi. The installer uses a lot of space just to show the name of the installation step. In a 1152x864 screen it is using 396 pixels wide, that's about 34% of the total. I think that we could put the text in the upper green stripe in order to not waste neither vertical nor horizontal space. 1152x864 was the resolution I used in VirtualBox (if I use a lower resolution it works only the text based interface), my netbook is only 1024x600, so the problem is more noticeable there. Even with the 1152x864 resolution, the text in some tabs is cut. Another issue I'd like to comment is that there are two Release Notes in the performing installation step: one has the text in Spanish (selected language) and the other in English. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature... Greetings. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Upcoming transition to GCC 5
by Richard Biener 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Hi, we are currently trying to get openSUSE:Factory:Rings:0-Bootstrap and openSUSE:Factory:Rings:1-MinimalX clean to build with GCC 5 in the openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc49 project. Once that works reasonably I will push GCC 5 to Factory without enabling it as a default - that will be done when it works fully (help appreciated at that point). There is a porting-to document that explains some issues you may run into (also consider the 4.9 variant as we didn't transition to that): https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/porting_to.html https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/porting_to.html You may also find the analysis of Fedora interesting which explains why some packages now fail to build: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-February/207549.html GCC 5 packages can be installed from devel:gcc where they are regularly updated. Those sources also feed openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc49.

(zN printed N + 1 lines). * ed.texi: Documented the window size used by the 'z' command. * Makefile.in: Added new targets 'install*-compress'. * Restored original copyright notices in the code. I assigned to the FSF the copyright on changes made to the part of ed already copyrighted by the FSF, which seems to be just the manual. ==== fcitx ==== Version update (4.2.8.5 -> 4.2.8.6) Subpackages: fcitx-branding-openSUSE fcitx-gtk2 fcitx-gtk3 fcitx-pinyin fcitx-qt4 fcitx-table libfcitx-4_2_8 - update version 4.2.8.6 * add kf5 kcm support ==== gnutls ==== Version update (3.3.13 -> 3.3.14) Subpackages: libgnutls-devel libgnutls-openssl27 libgnutls28 libgnutls28-32bit - updated to 3.3.13 (released 2015-03-30) * * libgnutls: When retrieving OCTET STRINGS from PKCS #12 ContentInfo structures use BER to decode them (requires libtasn1 4.3). That allows to decode some more complex structures. * * libgnutls: When an end-certificate with no name is present and there are CA name constraints, don't reject the certificate. This follows RFC5280 advice closely. Reported by Fotis Loukos. * * libgnutls: Fixed handling of supplemental data with types > 255. Patch by Thierry Quemerais. * * libgnutls: Fixed double free in the parsing of CRL distribution points certificate extension. Reported by Robert ?wi?cki. * * libgnutls: Fixed a two-byte stack overflow in DTLS 0.9 protocol. That protocol is not enabled by default (used by openconnect VPN). * * libgnutls: The maximum user data send size is set to be the same for block and non-block ciphersuites. This addresses a regression with wine: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37500 * * libgnutls: When generating PKCS #11 keys, set CKA_ID, CKA_SIGN, and CKA_DECRYPT when needed. * * libgnutls: Allow names with zero size to be set using gnutls_server_name_set(). That will disable the Server Name Indication. Resolves issue with wine: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/issues/2 ==== intltool ==== Version update (0.50.2 -> 0.51.0) - Update to version 0.51.0: + Don't write $SRCDIR to the pot file. + Fixed incorrect handling of spaces around = in .ini files. + Add support for QT designer .UI files. + Add missing files to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST definitions. + Use plain localedir to install mo files to, rather than trying to guess one. + Fix makefile rule to build .pox files properly. + Fix incorrect usage of hyphens and dashes in man pages. + Update .bzrignore with some new generated files. + Use autoreconf instead of gnome-autogen scripts. + Remove obsolete AM_GNU_GETTEXT information from docs. + Support single quotes in glade/gtkuibuilder files (lp#1034153). ==== libpng16-16 ==== Version update (1.6.16 -> 1.6.17) Subpackages: libpng16-16-32bit libpng16-devel - Fixed rgb_to_gray checks and added tRNS checks to pngvalid.c. + libpng-rgb_to_gray-checks.patch - updated to 1.6.17: Corrected the width limit calculation in png_check_IHDR(). Removed user limits from pngfix. Also pass NULL pointers to png_read_row to skip the unnecessary row de-interlace stuff. Implement previously untested cases of libpng transforms in pngvalid.c Fixed byte order in 2-byte filler, in png_do_read_filler(). Made the check for out-of-range values in png_set_tRNS() detect values that are exactly 2^bit_depth, and work on 16-bit platforms. Merged some parts of libpng-1.6.17beta01 and libpng-1.7.0beta47. Added #ifndef __COVERITY__ where needed in png.c, pngrutil.c and pngset.c to avoid warnings about dead code. Do not build png_product2() when it is unused. Display user limits in the output from pngtest. Eliminated the PNG_SAFE_LIMITS macro and restored the 1-million-column and 1-million-row default limits in pnglibconf.dfa, that can be reset by the user at build time or run time. This provides a more robust defense against DOS and as-yet undiscovered overflows. Added PNG_WRITE_CUSTOMIZE_COMPRESSION_SUPPORTED macro, on by default. Allow user to call png_get_IHDR() with NULL arguments (Reuben Hawkins). Moved png_set_filter() prototype into a PNG_WRITE_SUPPORTED block of png.h. Free the unknown_chunks structure even when it contains no data. Fixed simplified 8-bit-linear to sRGB alpha. The calculated alpha value was wrong. It's not clear if this affected the final stored value; in the obvious code path the upper and lower 8-bits of the alpha value were identical and the alpha was truncated to 8-bits rather than dividing by 257 (John Bowler). ==== libfreebl3 ==== Version update (3.17.4 -> 3.18) Subpackages: libsoftokn3 mozilla-nss mozilla-nss-certs mozilla-nss-devel mozilla-nss-tools - update to 3.18 * Firefox target release 38 New functionality: * When importing certificates and keys from a PKCS#12 source, it's now possible to override the nicknames, prior to importing them into the NSS database, using new API SEC_PKCS12DecoderRenameCertNicknames. * The tstclnt test utility program has new command-line options - C, -D, -b and -R. Use -C one, two or three times to print information about the certificates received from a server, and information about the locally found and trusted issuer certificates, to diagnose server side configuration issues. It is possible to run tstclnt without providing a database (-D). A PKCS#11 library that contains root CA certificates can be loaded by tstclnt, which may either be the nssckbi library provided by NSS (-b) or another compatible library (-R). New Functions: * SEC_CheckCrlTimes * SEC_GetCrlTimes * SEC_PKCS12DecoderRenameCertNicknames New Types: * SEC_PKCS12NicknameRenameCallback Notable Changes: * The highest TLS protocol version enabled by default has been increased from TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.2. Similarly, the highest DTLS protocol version enabled by default has been increased from DTLS 1.0 to DTLS 1.2. * The default key size used by certutil when creating an RSA key pair has been increased from 1024 bits to 2048 bits. * The following CA certificates had the Websites and Code Signing trust bits turned off: - Equifax Secure Certificate Authority - Equifax Secure Global eBusiness CA-1 - TC TrustCenter Class 3 CA II * The following CA certificates were added: - Staat der Nederlanden Root CA - G3 - Staat der Nederlanden EV Root CA - IdenTrust Commercial Root CA 1 - IdenTrust Public Sector Root CA 1 - S-TRUST Universal Root CA - Entrust Root Certification Authority - G2 - Entrust Root Certification Authority - EC1 - CFCA EV ROOT * The version number of the updated root CA list has been set to 2.3 - add the changes file as source so the .src.rpm builds (used for fake build time) ==== python-kde4 ==== Subpackages: python-kde4-akonadi python-kde4-devel python-kde4-khtml python-kde4-knewstuff python-kde4-phonon python-kde4-plasma - add arm-qreal-float.patch, arm-avoid-return-type-confusion.patch to fix build on ARM ==== python3-setuptools ==== Version update (14.3.1 -> 15.0) - update to version 15.0: * Pull Request #126: DistributionNotFound message now lists the package or packages that required it. ==== libspeexdsp1 ==== - disable unchecked use of NEON extension ==== libamd-2_4_1 ==== Subpackages: libcamd-2_4_1 libccolamd-2_9_1 libcholmod-3_0_5 libcolamd-2_9_1 libumfpack-5_7_1 - Update to version 4.4.4 + CHOLMOD version number corrected. In 4.4.3, the CHOLMOD_SUBSUB_VERSION string was left at '4' (it should have been '5', for CHOLMOD 3.0.5). This version of SuiteSparse corrects this glitch. + Minor changes to comments in SuiteSparse_config. + SPQR version 2.0.1 released (minor update to documentation) ==== tigervnc ==== Subpackages: xorg-x11-Xvnc - u_terminate_instead_of_ignoring_restart.patch * Terminate instead of ignoring restart. (bnc#920969) ==== update-alternatives ==== Version update (1.17.23 -> 1.17.24) - Cleanup with spec-cleaner - Update to 1.11.24: * Translation updates * Various small fixes ==== vsftpd ==== - bnc#925963 stat is sometimes run on wrong path and results with ENOENT, ensure we sent both dir+file to filter verification: * vsftpd-path-normalize.patch - Update patch bit more for sanity checks.

[opensuse-factory] Kernel 3.19.1+: beware of deadlock after crash with btrfs!
by Ludwig Nussel 08 Apr '15

Hi, Attention Tumbleweed users with btrfs! If your system crashes it may run into a deadlock on next reboot: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg42758.html Workaround is to mount the btrfs volumes on an older kernel. After that the system will boot normally again. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Jennifer Guild, Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5; 90409 Nürnberg; Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

I'm not necessarily trying to have both configured at once. I only want it simple to change if I bring a PC to some network that uses a different router IP. I now have this particular host configured with fixed IP on 13.1 and TW, and DHCP on 13.2 and the other 13.1. All seems good here except with TW. In TW, actions affecting network, like mounting a NFS share, or pinging, exhibit huge delays. Network throughput, as when running zypper dup, seems normal. This is some data from 13.3 as of last having yast2 do network configuration, then disabling Wicked's DHCP and nanny, which I hoped would eliminate the delays, but did not: # ll /boot/initrd-3.19.3* -rw------- 1 root root 5859740 Apr 7 01:38 /boot/initrd-3.19.3-1-desktop /etc/sysconfig/network # ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11617 Feb 23 20:35 config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 139 Apr 7 05:21 dhcp -rw------- 1 root root 143 Feb 23 20:30 ifcfg-eth0 -rw------- 1 root root 173 Mar 18 08:25 ifcfg-lo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21738 Feb 20 06:45 ifcfg.template -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Apr 7 05:21 ifroute-eth0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 7 05:21 routes # cat ifcfg-eth0 BOOTPROTO='static' IPADDR='192.168.0.121/24' BROADCAST='192.168.0.255' STARTMODE='onboot' NAME='NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express' # cat ifroute-eth0 default 192.168.0.1 - eth0 # systemctl list-units | grep wick wicked.service loaded active exited wicked managed network interfaces wickedd-auto4.service loaded active running wicked AutoIPv4 supplicant service wickedd.service loaded active running wicked network management service daemon # systemctl list-unit-files | grep wick wicked.service enabled wickedd-auto4.service enabled wickedd-dhcp4.service disabled wickedd-dhcp6.service disabled wickedd-nanny.service disabled wickedd.service enabled # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:... inet addr:192.168.0.121 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:464 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:506 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:50224 (49.0 Kb) TX bytes:44907 (43.8 Kb) Interrupt:16 # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 # ping www.google.com PING www.google.com (216.58.219.164) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from mia07s27-in-f4.1e100.net (216.58.219.164): icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=26.5 ms 64 bytes from mia07s27-in-f4.1e100.net (216.58.219.164): icmp_seq=2 ttl=47 time=27.1 ms 64 bytes from mia07s27-in-f4.1e100.net (216.58.219.164): icmp_seq=3 ttl=47 time=26.8 ms 64 bytes from mia07s27-in-f4.1e100.net (216.58.219.164): icmp_seq=4 ttl=47 time=25.8 ms ^C64 bytes from 216.58.219.164: icmp_seq=5 ttl=47 time=31.3 ms --- www.google.com ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 20347ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 25.825/27.548/31.371/1.973 ms The above ping looks almost normal, omitting the length of time elapsed before output shows on screen. Rather than nearly instant start of response, 10-12 seconds elapse before first line prints, and rather than subsequent following 1 or 2 seconds later each, the delay is approximately 5 seconds each. The telling number is that 20347. Doing the same on this host, that number is 4004, 80% less. So, apparently, one of the observed "failures" earlier in the day was lack of patience in that 10-12 interval, hitting ctrl-C instead of waiting for the delayed output. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
