[opensuse-factory] Leap 42.2 failed/unresolvable packages
by dieter 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

Hello, [1] provides a list of packages which are not building for Leap 42.2, e.g. due to unsatisfied dependencies. For some(most) of these a package for Tumbleweed exists and it seems mainly an issue of updating the package for Leap 42.2 e.g. on this list the reason given for kdevelop4 is "nothing provides kscreen < 5.3.0 needed by kdebase4-workspace". The current Leap 42.2 snapshot contains kscreen5-5.7.0-1.2 The current Tumbleweed snapshot contains kscreen5-5.7.0-1.1, and it contains kdevelop4-4.7.3-3.1. I just want to point this out in order to avoid accidental gaps in the final release. If there is a plan to perform these updates at a later time please ignore this post. Regards, Dieter [1] https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?commit=Filter%3A&failed=1&unreso… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed YAST
by Ed Damvelt 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

After a few days trying I went back to the proven Windows method: a completely new installation. That solved that particular problem, but I forgot to save the logs. Sorry. and also for the delayed reaction. @ Ju Ping: no problems in that area. The new installation is not completely bug free either, however: Installation: -After configuring the WiFi card, the system can not apply the details. It marks this as a bug and advises reporting. Manual set-up after installation succeeds. This happened also in the previous installation but I did not mention it. Running: -YAST does not react to RPM files; when called by the link, it starts in the panel but closes down without opening a window or providing info. -Graph mode does not give the option to change user, e.g. to root. Previous installation was OK in this. -After confirming, closedown and reboot in graph mode take between 10 and up to abt 40 secs before anything visible happens; then sometimes the text welcome screen appears and closedown has to be done from there or by hard reset. As I am lazy, I choose the latter. This is not a consistent occurrence. It is identical to ianseeks' report. Both processes take a long time, especially when not all windows are closed yet. General: As 13.1/2 was the latest standard version from which I jumped from there to Tumbleweed I make comparisons in that relation. The following remarks may therefore be trivial. -Start-up is very slow compared to 13.1. After Starting Switch Root there is a long time a lot of disk activity. If a machine is the whole day on, that is not a problem, but when one has to close down the laptop a lot of times in one day (e.g. visiting customers), it becomes a bit annoying. Isn't it possible to load files, that for start-up are not really essential, delayed? -The start-up of individual programs also invokes a lot of disk activity and is quite less fast than in 13.x -Asking for new card decks in kpatience links to new wallpapers, not decks. I have now three times made a clean installation of Tumbleweed, once for just having a look, a second time for real that after updating brought up my YAST bug and this one. For whatever reason, each installation ended with slightly different settings, although the machine is the same. A last remark: Although I have been using Linux and Suse since almost 20 years, in this I want to be looking from the point of view of an average user, who has no deep knowledge of solving problems. This usage pattern of course also eases the life of a system administrator. The consideration of this point of view has been too much neglected in all Linux versions; the elitair thinking of "if you don't know how to do it in text, then stay with Widose" has prevented the expansion of Linux in the less-dedicated user area who does/can not use textmode commands. It is refreshing to see that Opensuse is making the effort to change that, although it principally an industrial variant of Linux. Ed A zip of logs of the third installation is attached. -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 8/1/16, Lukas Ocilka <lukas.ocilka(a)suse.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed YAST To: "Ed Damvelt" <edamvelt(a)yahoo.com> Cc: opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org Date: Monday, August 1, 2016, 11:33 PM On 30.7.2016 07:44, Ed Damvelt wrote: > I don't know whether I am at the right place for this, but anyway. > > After the last Tumbleweed update of today (New Zealand July 30) my YAST itself does open, but none of the sub-programs does any more.

by Ruediger Meier 04 Aug '16

Hi, I'm just curious about this ntp package changelog: - Remove "kod" from the restrict line in ntp.conf (bsc#944300). Unfourtunately that bug report is non-public. Could somebody make this bug public or explain why kod was removed by default? cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] unexpected error message running perl-Bootloader (from new kernel installation?)
by Felix Miata 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

All on host gx62b, unexpected message referring to /etc/grub.conf occurred today in vtty and /var/log/zypp/history both on 42.1, and on a 42.2a installation that is an upgrade from 42.1, but did not occur on a TW upgrade from 2016051? to 20160728 (string /etc/grub.conf does not appear anywhere in TW's history dating back to 2012-10): # 42.1 # Perl-Bootloader: 2016-08-02 15:54:51 <3> pbl-7283.2 FileIO::ReadFileRaw.168: Error: Failed to open /etc/grub.conf: No such file or directory # 42.2 # Perl-Bootloader: 2016-08-02 21:10:09 <3> pbl-1994.2 FileIO::ReadFileRaw.168: Error: Failed to open /etc/grub.conf: No such file or directory /boot/grub/menu.lst was successfully updated. This is from 42.1: # rpm -qa | egrep 'grub|os-prober|ootloader' perl-Bootloader-0.844-1.1.x86_64 perl-Bootloader-YAML-0.844-1.1.x86_64 grub-0.97-207.2.x86_64 perl-Bootloader-0.844-1.1.x86_64 perl-Bootloader-YAML-0.844-1.1.x86_64 yast2-bootloader-3.1.162-7.1.x86_64 Same message occurs in 42.1 history as far back as 2015-11-12. Original 42.1 installation was 2015-10-26. Other than versions, equivalent bootloader packages are installed on gx62b's TW and 42.2 (no v2.x Grub rpms installed anywhere on gx62b's HD). String /etc/grub.conf does not appear in gx62b's 13.1 or 13.2 zypp/history either. Clearly /etc/grub.conf was missing from these two installations. The question is not why /etc/grub.conf was missing, or whether perl-Bootloader should complain on not finding it, but why perl-Bootloader should even care about /etc/grub.conf while its job seems to be updating /boot/grub/menu.lst for a new kernel installation. Am I being mislead by a post-installation script as to why /etc/grub.conf is sought by perl-Bootloader? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] Shutdown not powering off machine
by ianseeks 03 Aug '16

HI For the last 2 evenings, I’ve ended up with a login prompt instead of the machine shutting down. I've had a look at the logs via journalctl for the period where I started the shutdown from the login screen but no red lines or errors show up. Any ideas where else I can look?

[opensuse-factory] Leap desktop selection screen
by Ludwig Nussel 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Hi, In the thread about lxdm we learned that we don't seem to have LXDE maintainers anymore. Yet we have LXDE on the DVD and offer it very prominently in the installer: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/230205#step/installer_desktopselection/6 So I wonder if putting LXDE in the spotlight like that still makes sense? Also, I wonder whether the minimal X selection adds much value. Those who want to use a different window manager could start off from text mode just as well, right? cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Should Remote Administration VNC session be local or remote?
by Andrei Borzenkov 02 Aug '16

02 Aug '16

Discussion about setting up remote administration using YaST on firums draw my attention. There are rough edges, but when at the end user is able to log in, depending on display manager logind session is ether Remote=yes (xdm) or Remote=no (lightdm). The problem is, logind apparently does not allow multiple local graphical sessions for the same user, in particular concurrent login using lightdm on local console and over Xvnc connection. So what is the right choice here? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
