Hello everyone, There's a new package in server:monitoring called `irqstat`, which I'd like to get into Factory: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:monitoring/irqstat It's a rather simple, but yet quite effective, python script for both online monitoring and offline parsing of the content of the special file /proc/interrupts. In fact, especially on large servers, where that file may have something like 550 lines and 224 columns (this is a real example, I'm not making numbers up :-) ), it may be very annoying to tell, e.g., how many IRQs a particular source is sending toward which CPUs using only the usual tools. And this is exactly where irqstat helps. There is more that can be done, and in fact, I'm also involved with upstream development (yes, for the ones that I've seen the other thread, I eventually did manage to get in touch with the maintainer!) and have some plans. E.g., improving the documentation is quite high in my TODO list for the project. I'd be interested in any feedback, comment, question, whatever. :-) Regards -- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D http://about.me/dario.faggioli Virtualization Software Engineer SUSE Labs, SUSE https://www.suse.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- <<This happens because _I_ choose it to happen!>> (Raistlin Majere)

[opensuse-factory] Too many packages to process

by Vojtěch Zeisek

I'm not sure, if this is bug or feature... After few days, update applet (TW, KDE) says there are 6843 new updates (TeX, R, ... ;-). When I click to "Install updates" error "Too many packages to process (6843/5200)" appears. Zypper handles it well. Is it worth of bug report? To b.o.o? Yours, V. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/

[opensuse-factory] Convert from classic to transactional server?

by seroton10＠gmail.com

Hi, When installing openSUSE (any flavour), the installer offers a choice between the "server" and "transactional server" roles, among others. If I choose to install using the "server" role, is there a (supported) procedure by which I can later convert it into a "transactional server"? (Assume using btrfs for /, and having snapshots.) I tried to do this conversion on a test system running openSUSE Leap 15.2 as follows: * run "zypper install patterns-base-transactional_base" * edit /etc/fstab to make root read-only * reboot This appears to work: The system self-updates, and reboots when needed; /etc has been turned into an overlay filesystem; and zypper up tells me to use the transactional-update tool. However, one of the packages installed during the conversion is "read- only-root-fs", and its description contains a rather stern warning: Files, scripts and directories to run the system with a read-only root filesystem with /etc writeable via overlayfs. This package should never be installed in an already running system! It should only be selected by a system role for a read-only root filesystem with transactional updates. The package will create / modify entries for mounting /etc and /var. Those entries are used by dracut to mount the overlay file systems during the early boot phase. After reading this, I ask myself, was it just dumb luck that the test system wasn't destroyed during the conversion? What can/does go wrong if read-only-root-fs is installed in an already running system, against the advice given? Any clarification on this would be much appreciated.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE reproducible builds status 2020-08

[opensuse-factory] [RFC] OpenSUSE Distribution Tiers Policy

by Dirk Müller

Hi all, I would like to get your input and start a discussion around : https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:OpenSUSE_Distribution_Tiers_Policy This is a draft aiming to define what a Premium Tier openSUSE Distribution architecture is. Currently this is mostly x86_64 as it stands today out of historic reasons, and rather than letting historic reasons define the future, I'd like to make it a bit more transparent on why that is and what quality standards an openSUSE distribution has to offer for other architectures to be considered also a main / premium Tier openSUSE Distribution. Please be aware that this does not silently introduce aarch64 as a premium tier, however it is aimed to define the rules that any architecture port including aarch64 would have to meet in order to be considered a premium tier. So once we agree on the terms and scope, AArch64 would be requested to be evaluated against this. For the interest of tracking, please refrain from editing the main page, and use either the mailing list discussion here or the Talk page for comments/questions/considerations/feedback. Thanks!

[opensuse-factory] Update on weekly SLE/Leap feature reviews

by Lubos Kocman

Hello team, we're experiencing issues with meet.opensuse.org, specifically screensharing during feature review. We spent half of last two meetings on troubleshooting and that's just wrong. We're currently looking for an alternative solution. Current workaround is teams, but I'd prefer to use something OSS. Perhaps the big blue button. If you want to be part of these meetings, then please message me so I can add you to the invitation. Heads up on next events: 9th and 23rd November are cancelled as I have vacation. Same goes for X-mass break 21st, 28th December, so these meetings are cancelled as well. Thank you very much for your understanding -- Lubos Kocman, Release Manager openSUSE Leap SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg - Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer

[opensuse-factory] Chromium - looking for maintainer

by Tomáš Chvátal

Heya all, with the growing demands of chromium and my diminishing free time I won't be really able to care for chromium in the future. Any interested volunteers to take over its maintenance? You need to be able to patch out gcc compilation issues and patch out support for Leap as we have too old libs in some cases there. In general most of the work can be cherry-picked from Fedora/Gentoo with only minor tweaks on our side. Most complex and breaking part is the vaapi hardware acceleration. Which is currently borked as I don't have time to debug it further :( If you are interested please request maintainership on the network:chromium project and feel free to drop me an email if you happen to have any questions.

[opensuse-factory] Thunderbird 78 and encryption status

by Wolfgang Rosenauer

Hi, since there have been multiple threads on different lists about availability of Thunderbird 78 for openSUSE please let me share the latest news. Upstream released Thunderbird 78.2.2 last week. Upstream did not enable automatic updates to 78 from 68 and also recommended to distros to not upgrade until now. It's likely that this changes with 78.2.2 being released now. The main reason is that there was no finished PGP support in TB 78. Previously it was provided by enigmail but as TB 78 does only allow webextensions enigmail cannot work anymore to provide PGP support. Therefore upstream implemented their own OpenPGP support natively in Thunderbird 78 which has been finally enabled by default in recent versions. You can find the upstream FAQ here and if you are using Thunderbird with enigmal today you really should read it carefully: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/openpgp-thunderbird-howto-and-faq So what about the current status for openSUSE: The "mozilla" OBS repository (which is for ages the official project you get current versions as backports to supported openSUSE distros) currently contains Thunderbird 78.2.2 enigmail 2.2.2 (which requires 78.2.2) (please find its purpose in the FAQ above) how those will soon be submitted to Tumbleweed. When this "soon" will be depends a bit on your feedback if there are still major issues found during the next days. So please feel free to provide feedback on the list, in bugzilla, or directly to me. After Tumbleweed I'm quite sure that the SUSE guys will also move along putting the version into supported Leap versions.

[opensuse-factory] X11 -> wayland

by Frans de Boer

LS, Development of X11 seems already a long time ago to be halted. Thus i am thinking of switching from X11 to wayland on my server running xCFE and TW. Of course, I do not like to reinstall all packages again - assuming it is anyhow possible under TW - and am wondering if there is a way to accomplish this without a reinstall. Maybe first starting with the X11 server under wayland is an option and later migrating packages to use native wayland?
