[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed Live KDE and EFI Secure Boot
by Roger Oberholtzer 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

My daughter has asked me to install Linux on her new Lenovo laptop. Before doing so, I thought I would try a Live Tumbleweed version to see what might be a problem. The laptop has Windows 8, EFI and Secure Boot enabled. My questions (for the Live test) are: * Can it boot the Live ISO from a USB stick on an EFI system? * Do I need to disable Secure Boot in the PC setup first? * If I re-enable Secure Boot, will Windows 8 have an issue? * If I later decide to install from a proper image, would I need to disable Secure Boot? * On other laptops, I have had great luck shrinking the Windows partition, installing openSUSE, and getting a nice dual boot. Should I be equally optimistic here? Thanks for any answers or pointers! -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the Week 2016/24
by Dominique Leuenberger / DimStar 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, It has been a very busy week, but it has shown how much enthusiasm every contributor puts into Tumbleweed. There have been again 4 snapshots released (0609, 0611, 0612 and 0613) and this marks the end of ‘Tumbleweed being built using GCC 5’. As usual, one end is just the beginning of something new: starting with Snapshot 0614 (or any higher number, in case openQA won’t agree) the entire distribution is built using GCC 6 as compiler. Let’s first look back what the four snapshots delivered: * QEmu 2.6.0 (we were at 2.4 for way too long, and missed openGL support) * Wayland 1.11.0 – stable release (you already enjoyed the RCs though) * Mozilla Firefox 47.0 * Linux kernel 4.6.2 – Some broadcom users were waiting for that * A lot of YaST updates – See also the YaST reports [0] for what nice things they work on What can we expect from the future? As mentioned, snapshot 0614 is currently being built using GCC 6. This will be a rather large update, as literally everything is being rebuilt again. After being in Stagings for quite a while, everything up to Ring2 (stuff on the DVD, ~2200 packages) built. With GCC 6 now being the default compiler, it was expected that quite some of the non-ring packages (another ~ 7000 packages!) will cause some trouble. The build is not all done yet, but we are at around 200 errors that need fixing (see boo#984984 [1] for a reference what still needs work). And despite all this, no contributor is getting tired and many more, even bigger updates are scheduled in the Staging areas: * Qt 5.6.1 – some important bug fixes it seems * KDE Applications 16.04.2 * KDE Framework 5.23.0 * TeXLive 2016 * GIT 2.9.0 If there is anything you want to discuss with the community, next week is THE opportunity, as the openSUSE conference [2] will be held in Nuremberg, starting Wednesday, June 22nd. I am looking forward to see you there. A note regarding the breakage we had seen in snapshot 0605 (pam config files getting overwritten): we have since configured a new test in openQA that installs a current Tumbleweed snapshot and will try to update this new install right to the snapshot that is being tested. This should help us catch such issues next time around. Let’s have a lot of fun, Dominique [0] https://lizards.opensuse.org/author/yast-team/ [1] https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=984984 [2] https://events.opensuse.org/conference/oSC16 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Aren't you underestimating the normative power of the industry and the capital here? If you offer it and (although bringing a higher security risk to the user) if it is easier to prepare packages in this format for all distribution, I will simply not offer anything else anymore. Because it is cheaper and, as a result, I maximize my profit. If there are problems with security as a producer of software it is even better: one blame it on the distribution and on the OS. For me that system has a great future. :-) --- Mail & Cloud Made in Germany mit 3 GB Speicher! https://email.freenet.de/mail/Uebersicht?epid=e9900000450 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed as KVM guest and graphics
by Bjoern Voigt 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

I like to run additional Tumbleweed instances as KVM guests. Later I also like to try other desktop distributions. Since all my VM guests run under Qemu KVM, I won't switch to Virtualbox or VMware. The host runs under Tumbleweed too. I subscribed the Virtualization repo. So I have Qemu 2.6 and Kernel 2.6. What is the best option for graphics? * VNC is a bit slow and has no OpenGL support * Spice and QXL work, but the accelarated QXL guest driver refuses to work: [drm:qxl_pci_probe [qxl]] *ERROR* qxl too old, doesn't support client_monitors_config, use xf86-video-qxl in user mode xf86-video-qxl is current (xf86-video-qxl-0.1.4-5.1.x86_64) * Qemu 2.6 OpenGL support described here: https://www.kraxel.org/blog/tag/virtio-gpu/ The last options seems ideal for my needs. I already had this running with Qemu 2.5. But the setup is a bit tricky. Besides Kraxel's blog I haven't found good documentation for this.

[opensuse-factory] Can we please have newer than 8.22 coreutil (dd) on next leap or even current leap?
by cagsm 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Hello maintainers. I would like to see some dd with progress meter :) and found out that gnu coreutil dd version 8.24 at least (released july 2015) comes with a built-in functionality. Wondering why leap 42.1 was released with gnu coreutil 8.22 which dates back to 2013? Thank's you in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Sqlitebrowser 3.8.0-1.2 in tumbleweed still ask for libqcustomplot.so
by Daniele Granata 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

Hi all, I downloaded the source and found that libqcustomplot source are included. I force the installation but seems the packager splitted the program executable and the libs, so I got errors about libs missing, the ones in libs subdir of the sqlitebrowser source. Sorry for the bad english. Regards -- Daniele -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
