We don't have a fancy domain yet, but the website can be accessed at https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/ + Improve pid mapping for host system apps.

Re-stabilizing the order of /dev/sd* devices
by Martin Wilck 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

The discussion on the previous thread "SCSI device identification and SCSI symlink generation in sg3_utils 1.48" [1], the openSUSE Forum [2], bugzilla [3] has revealed that with one exception, the problems that users encountered had not been caused by the sg3_utils update, but by the almost simultaneous update of the TW kernel to 6.5.4, which changed scsi_mod and sd_mod from built-in to loadable modules. In the course of this discussion, the idea came up to stabilize the ordering of sd devices by loading sd_mod before any SCSI low level drivers, using a softdep. I have implemented this now in [4]. I would be grateful for testing this package on a variety of systems. I already tried a few, and saw no issues. Currently TW only. The expected effect is that the ordering of sd devices stabilizes again (if you test this, please undo manual workarounds that you may have applied so far). On systems with only NVMe hardware (e.g. laptops with M.2 SSDs) where multipath-tools is not installed (if you aren’t using dm-multipath, you can just uninstall it with “zypper rm multipath- tools”), an additional expected effect is that the system would come up without any SCSI drivers loaded (check /proc/modules). If an USB stick or some other SCSI device is added to such a system, SCSI modules should be loaded on demand, and the stick should be mounted as usual. Feedback very welcome. I plan to submit this to factory next week. Regards, Martin [1] https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/… [2] https://forums.opensuse.org/t/problem-with-disks-order-after-snapshot-20230… [3] https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1216070 [4] https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mwilck:/suse-module-tools/…

[opensuse-factory] reproducible builds status 2023-10

Hi, This month I made some more nice patches after I went to review all remaining packages with major issues. I'm off to the rb-summit in Hamburg this week. The ghc-rpm-macros patch is still pending in the pipeline. Once that goes through, the number of packages with issues remaining could be as low as 126. https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/2343 still breaks bit-identical results for many packages. https://github.com/openSUSE/post-build-checks/pull/58 by Jan Zerebecki could finally allow to enable normalization of mtimes in Factory, but OTOH breaks build-compare / build-tree-pruning on OBS rebuilds of certain packages. Since my main test-build machine is on the move to Prague atm, I only ran builds over a limited set of packages with known past problems. https://rb.zq1.de/spec/glossar.txt explains the meaning of below values: total-packages: 14895 build-tried: 753 build-failed: 26 build-n-a: 1 build-succeeded: 727 build-official-failed+na: 76 build-compare-failed: 119 build-compare-succeeded: 608 bit-by-bit-identical: 280 not-bit-by-bit-identical: 446 recent SRs and patches: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/2320 FTBFS # https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/pull/6685 sort, tar mtime https://github.com/libpinyin/libpinyin/issues/162 ASLR https://github.com/djcb/mu/pull/2569 date in copyright https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/2570 unknown https://sourceforge.net/p/sbcl/mailman/sbcl-devel/thread/3ebdd95c-c498-462f… report timestamp+other # https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/3550 filesys (find/meson) https://git.enlightenment.org/enlightenment/efl/issues/41 edje_cc nondeterministic order # https://github.com/maros/MooseX-App/pull/71 kanku toolchain, date from perl-MooseX-App # https://github.com/apache/qpid-proton/pull/411 sort https://github.com/FFTW/fftw3/issues/337 random order https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1216293 fdo-client private keys # https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/5426 sort readdir https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/5427 unknown, toolchain # https://sourceforge.net/p/gimp-print/source/merge-requests/9/ gutenprint date # https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/issues/3675 filesys+parallelism # https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/merge_requests/2101 FTBFS # https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/merge_requests/2103 corruption https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1216458 python-numpy random file names https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/SLOF/-/merge_requests/1 date https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/11651 order https://sourceforge.net/p/gsoap2/patches/185/ date, toolchain https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2508 python3-pyside2 order 1116036 mingw32-binutils date, toolchain 1116040 mingw64-binutils date, toolchain 1116208 erlang-retest embedded zip timestamp 1117743 python-pandas FTBFS 1117898 python-quantities date 1118130 spack cpu count 1118201 openblas cpu count => SR 1120798 1119260 xemacs-packages drop date 1119524 occt sort (not upstream) 1119553 mame order 1121011 qemu slof date+workaround parallelism-issue from sphinx

Removal of /run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp
by Thorsten Kukuk 28 Oct '23

28 Oct '23

Hi, I wrote already about Y2038 and the problems with utmp and wtmp. Since we have already solutions active for some weeks, we will now do the next steps: We replaced /var/log/wtmp with wtmpdb some months ago. /usr/bin/last does not use /var/log/wtmp anymore since quite some time, too. So the next logical step will be, that we don't create /var/log/wtmp anymore. Existing files will not be deleted and many tools will still write into it, but new installations will not create it anymore. After this, we have to find the applications, which don't use the glibc interface and try to manage this file at their own. They could still create that file. The majority of known applications are using logind meanwhile instead of /run/utmp. The bug reports are all fixed meanwhile, so we will go the next step: disabling /run/utmp. A systemd with disabled utmp support will be submitted most likely next week, and then we will see how long it takes to get it through the stagings. There are still some open SRs which the package maintainers ignores since several weeks. This should not affect anybody, but if yes, please complain to the responsible package maintainers. If you know about an important application still reading (not writing) /run/utmp, please speak up now.

Directory for user drop-ins wrongly named in Tumbleweed snapshot 20231026!
by Manfred Hollstein 28 Oct '23

28 Oct '23

Hi there, please keep in mind to rename the directory /etc/systemd/user.confd.d to /etc/systemd/user.conf.d! Otherwise systemd won't use your drop-ins to define your overrides for the user session. # sudo mv /etc/systemd/user.confd.d /etc/systemd/user.conf.d HTH, cheers. l8er manfred

openSUSE:Factory - Build fail notification
by DimStar / Dominique Leuenberger 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Dear Package maintainers and hackers. Below package(s) in openSUSE:Factory have had problems for at least 4 weeks. We tried to send out notifications to the configured bugowner/maintainers of the package(s), but so far no fix has been submitted. This probably means that the maintainer/bugowner did not yet find the time to look into the matter and he/she would certainly appreciate help to get this sorted. - pocl: Unresolvable Unless somebody is stepping up and submitting fixes, the listed package(s) are going to be removed from openSUSE:Factory. Kind regards, DimStar / Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar(a)opensuse.org>

A new package software-o-o-launcher (just a desktop shortcut for software-o-o)
by Lubos Kocman 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Hello openSUSE! I had an action item to come up with a quick desktop launcher for software.opensuse.org. I did go minimal with simple-xdg open and a custom icon as per advice of DimStar. The launcher is called software-o-o-launcher. I'd like to propose to have it pre-installed on every new desktop installation. It was initially submitted to X11:Utilities (next to opensuse-welcome, which server similar purpose). https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1120637 software-o-o launcher (see the screenshot link above) shows up after typing "software" in your desktop of choice. Which is what I hope will raise awareness of software-o-o. Screenshot: https://ibb.co/b1c2qZs Let me tell you the story behind the "effort". A user wants to install a software which is not available in distribution. User is not aware of our lovely software.opensuse.org portal nor OBS. The first natural reaction is to start asking on a local forum "How do I install x.y.z in openSUSE". This happened to me recently, package was in a devel project in OBS. I pointed user to the portal, done. We don't really have any pointers to the service from within the distribution. I hope that this will "improve" the situation and will contribute to the better first-time user experience. We can work out better icon or title later. I'm super unhappy about the length of the title restriction displayed in GNOME. The best "meaningful" text to be displayed was "Additional soft..." rest was shortened by GNOME. ps. Scope of this change is to create a launcher and build awareness of the service for new users. If you have particular request/bug against sofware-o-o as a service, please open reuqest in https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o/issues Cheers!

Tumbleweed - Review of the week 2023/43
by Dominique Leuenberger 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Another week fully loaded with Tumbleweed snapshot comes to an end. This week, we have delivered five snapshots (with a new one already in openQA). The five snapshots (1019, 1020, 1022, 1023, and 1025) brought you those changes: * KDE Frameworks 5.111.0 * KDE Plasma 5.27.9 * Samba 4.19.2 * SQLite 3.43.2 * Apache 2.4.58 * Linux kernel 6.5.8 * Pipewire 0.3.83 * Virtualbox 7.0.12 * zlib 1.3 * Redis 7.2.2 * Meson 1.2.3 And, as after the snapshot is before the snapshot, the subsequent things are already lined up and getting ready to reach you. The most intriguing things there are: * Qemu 8.1.2 * VLC 3.0.19 * LLVM 17.0.3 * systemd: Ship the main configuration files in /usr/lib/; this change will hopefully encourage users to customize the defaults via drop-ins, hence removing the risk of conflicts with downstream customization. * Boost 1.83.0 * Linux kernel 6.5.9 * openSSL 3.1.4 * PHP 8.2.12 * binutils 2.41 * moving to dbus-broker cheers, Dominique
