Disabling /dev/fb0 on TW
by Thomas Zimmermann 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

tl;dr: Disable fbdev userspace interfaces on TW Hi, the upcoming Linux kernel v6.6 will contain the option to disable fbdev userspace interfaces in the kernel configuration. [1] I intent to enable this and thereby switch off /dev/fb0 et al. The tracker bug is boo#1212947. [2] * Why? The old fbdev subsystem is an endless source of bugs. For example, we recently had an out-of-bounds access in the fbdev emulation, where userspace could write beyond the end of the framebuffer memory. [3] Fbdev is under-maintained. I've been doing improvements in recent kernel releases, but only where it benefits the DRM subsystem. Disabling fbdev userspace interfaces will also help weeding out any programs that still contain hard dependencies on them. * What changes? Enabling the new kernel option disables all fbdev userspace interfaces. These are * the device files, such as /dev/fb0 * the sys files under /sys/class/graphics/fb[0-9]+ * /proc/fb * What are the effects on userspace programs? Userspace applications run on the desktop via Wayland or X. There will be no change to them. Xorg and Wayland compositors run on DRM interfaces. A few programs run on SDL, which has no dependency on fbdev either. Any fbdev support in these mid-layer components should be disabled as well. There's one known affected program: TW's text-mode installer can use the tool fbiterm to display CJK symbols during installation. This comes from a time when some low-end systems where not able to boot graphics installation. fbiterm has been unmaintained for >15 years and is ready for retirement. But there's no good drop-in replacement. I propose to simply remove fbiterm and let the graphics installer handle CJK. * What about the framebuffer console? The kernel-provided framebuffer console does not change. The kernel will still show the regular console. Userspace interfaces in /sys/class/graphics/fbcon are still available. For questions and discussion, please comment here or in boo#1212947.

Plan to delete vagrant & Virtualization:vagrant by the end of November
by Dan Čermák 18 Oct '24

18 Oct '24

Dear all, due to Hashicorp changing the license of vagrant to the BUSL, we can no longer update vagrant in openSUSE. I don't have the cycles to maintain vagrant myself indefinitely and plan to send a delete request at the end of November to Factory. Once that goes in, I also plan to remove the Virtualization:vagrant project to reduce the number of rubygems we have in openSUSE. If you don't like this plan and decide to scream at me, please scream an actionable plan that involves you :-) Cheers, Dan -- Dan Čermák <dcermak(a)suse.com> Software Engineer Development tools SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Frankenstr. 146 90461 Nürnberg Germany www.suse.com Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew McDonald, Werner Knoblich (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg)

Dominique: for rpm we usually accept both old and new key for about a half a year. lkocman: Leap Micro 6.X update channel setup will have to be done soon (within a few weeks). ## Adrian - OBS No update lkocman: we need to cleanup accepted / rejected requests in SUSE:SLE-15-SP6:GA in OBS. lkocman doesn't have permissions to do so in OBS. Workaround would be to re-add/reject suse-sle-reviewers review.

Tumbleweed - Review of the week 2024/07
by Dominique Leuenberger 19 Jun '24

19 Jun '24

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This week we have released 5 snapshots (0209, 0211, 0212, 0213, and 0214). With 5 snapshots, this is quite a normal week. The most relevant changes in those snapshots were: * SDL 2.30.0 * c-ares 1.26.0 (after a lengthy staging phase) * fwupd 1.9.13 * PostgreSQL 16.2 * Pulseaudio 17.0 * GTK 4.12.5 * Python 3.11.8 * KDE Frameworks 5.115.0 * RPM 4.19.1.1 * Node.JS 21.6.1 The list of things currently being tested remained largely unchanged: * Meson 1.3.2 * Shadow 4.14.5 * pkgconf 2.1.1 * RPM: enable reproducible builds by default (bsc#1148824). For upstream versions see: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/2880 * A bunch of cleanup work to eliminate more of python2 (boo#1219306) * dbus-broker: a big step forward; upgrades seem to be an issue that needs to be addressed * libxml 2.12.x: slow progress * GCC 14: our usual 2-phase approach to introduce it. Currently working on phase 1, meaning GCC14 will be providing the base libraries (libgcc_s1, libstdc++…). The compiler itself will stay at version 13 for now. Only one issue left: qemu fails to build Cheers, Dominique

Redis will no longer be OSS... now what?
by Neal Gompa 07 Jun '24

07 Jun '24

Hey everyone, It looks like Redis, Inc. has announced that future versions of Redis are no longer OSS and will be dual-licensed SSPL and RSAL[1]. Absent a fork of Redis coming up, we will likely need to remove Redis from openSUSE. All I can say is... :( [1]: https://redis.com/blog/redis-adopts-dual-source-available-licensing/ -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!

Need a sanity check re: efivarfs
by Jim Henderson 03 May '24

03 May '24

I'm working on an issue with my System76 system not being able to apply the firmware update that updates the UEFI dbx to version 371 (the version that resolves the issue resulting from the discovery of the BlackLotus UEFI bootkit). The issue I'm having is that efivarfs is running out of space. I'm being advised to increase the size of my UEFI partition - which is 4 GB and has 158 MB free - for a firmware update that is 21.2 KB in size, and the output from fwupdmgr is telling me that efivarfs doesn't have enough free space (it has 20KB free). There's nothing in the messages that suggests that I need additional space in the UEFI partition on my system - the specific message I get is: failed to write data to efivarfs: Error writing to file descriptor: No space left on device There's no reason to be messing about with my UEFI partition at all, is there? (They had also suggested using efibootmgr to remove some entries, and that does clear out some of the Boot0* files in /sys/firmware/efi/ efivars - but not enough). The issue is with the constraints in the nvram where this data is stored itself, and not the UEFI boot partition on my SSD, correct? Just want to make sure I'm completely understanding the message I'm seeing. (As a "bonus question", messing around with just deleting stuff like the dbx files in efivarfs could potentially brick the system, right?) -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits

Add Fix-plain-map-and-political-map-showing-no-content.patch to fix the plain map and the political map being not displayed at all (kde#379297) ==== mc ==== Subpackages: mc-lang - sftp.patch: Backport upstream fixes for SFTP (boo#1004280, boo#1042797) ==== plasma5-integration ==== - Move the Recommends: %{name}-plugin-lang to the plasma5-integration-plugin sub package, otherwise the translations won't get installed as there is no main package (boo#1027925) - Actually apply the aforementioned patch (shouldn't the source validator have warned?) ==== plasma5-openSUSE ==== Subpackages: plasma5-defaults-openSUSE plasma5-theme-openSUSE plasma5-workspace-branding-openSUSE sddm-theme-openSUSE - Fix installation of the sddm theme files (boo#1047254) ==== postgresql ==== Version update (9.4 -> 9.6) Subpackages: postgresql-contrib postgresql-devel postgresql-docs postgresql-server - Bump version and defaultpackage to 9.6. - Move ~postgres/.bash_profile to postgresql-server to avoid a file conflict between the versioned server packages. - Bump version and defaultpackage to 9.4. - Bump version and defaultpackage to 9.3. - Change license string to PostgreSQL. - Make all dummy packages noarch. - Make PostgreSQL 9.2 the default. - Reduce the postgresql packages with unversioned names to dummy packages that require the respective versioned package names. ==== python-coverage ==== Version update (3.7.1 -> 4.3.4) - uninstall alternatives in %postun - update for singlespec - update to 4.3.4: - Using the --skip-covered option on an HTML report with 100% coverage would cause a ?No data to report? error, as reported in issue 549. This is now fixed; thanks, Lo�c Dachary. - If-statements can be optimized away during compilation, for example, if 0: or if __debug__:. Coverage.py had problems properly understanding these statements which existed in the source, but not in the compiled bytecode. This problem, reported in issue 522, is now fixed. - If you specified --source as a directory, then coverage.py would look for importable Python files in that directory, and could identify ones that had never been executed at all. But if you specified it as a package name, that detection wasn?t performed. Now it is, closing issue 426. Thanks to Lo�c Dachary for the fix. - If you started and stopped coverage measurement thousands of times in your process, you could crash Python with a ?Fatal Python error: deallocating None? error. This is now fixed. Thanks to Alex Groce for the bug report. - On PyPy, measuring coverage in subprocesses could produce a warning: ?Trace function changed, measurement is likely wrong: None?. This was spurious, and has been suppressed. - Previously, coverage.py couldn?t start on Jython, due to that implementation missing the multiprocessing module (issue 551). This problem has now been fixed. Also, issue 322 about not being able to invoke coverage conveniently, seems much better: jython -m coverage run myprog.py works properly. - Let?s say you ran the HTML report over and over again in the same output directory, with --skip-covered. And imagine due to your heroic test-writing efforts, a file just acheived the goal of 100% coverage. With coverage.py 4.3, the old HTML file with the less-than-100% coverage would be left behind. This file is now properly deleted. - update to Version 4.3.1 ? 2016-12-28: - Some environments couldn?t install 4.3, as described in issue 540. This is now fixed. - The check for conflicting --source and --include was too simple in a few different ways, breaking a few perfectly reasonable use cases, described in issue 541. The check has been reverted while we re-think the fix for issue 265. - update to Version 4.3 ? 2016-12-27: Special thanks to Lo�c Dachary, who took an extraordinary interest in coverage.py and contributed a number of improvements in this release. - The HTML report now supports a --skip-covered option like the other reporting commands. Thanks, Lo�c Dachary for the implementation, closing issue 433. - Subprocesses that are measured with automatic subprocess measurement used to read in any pre-existing data file. This meant data would be incorrectly carried forward from run to run. Now those files are not read, so each subprocess only writes its own data. Fixes issue 510. - Coverage.py wouldn?t execute sys.excepthook when an exception happened in your program. Now it does, thanks to Andrew Hoos. Closes issue 535. - The coverage combine command will now fail if there are no data files to combine. The combine changes in 4.2 meant that multiple combines could lose data, leaving you with an empty .coverage data file. Fixes issues issue 525, issue 412, issue 516, and probably issue 511. - The branch coverage issues described in issue 493, issue 496, and issue 502 are now fixed, thanks to Lo�c Dachary. - Options can now be read from a tox.ini file, if any. Like setup.cfg, sections are prefixed with ?coverage:?, so [run] options will be read from the [coverage:run] section of tox.ini. Implements part of issue 519. Thanks, Stephen Finucane. - Specifying both --source and --include no longer silently ignores the include setting, instead it fails with a message. Thanks, Nathan Land and Lo�c Dachary. Closes issue 265. - Coverage.py can now search .pex files for source, just as it can .zip and .egg. Thanks, Peter Ebden. - update to 4.2: - Since ``concurrency=multiprocessing`` uses subprocesses, options specified on the coverage.py command line will not be communicated down to them. Only options in the configuration file will apply to the subprocesses. Previously, the options didn't apply to the subprocesses, but there was no indication. Now it is an error to use ``--concurrency=multiprocessing`` and other run-affecting options on the command line. This prevents failures like those reported in `issue 495`_. - Filtering the HTML report is now faster, thanks to Ville Skytt�. - update to 4.0.3: - Fixed a mysterious problem that manifested in different ways: sometimes hanging the process (`issue 420`_), sometimes making database connections fail (`issue 445`_). - The XML report now has correct ``<source>`` elements when using a ``--source=`` option somewhere besides the current directory. This fixes `issue 439`_. Thanks, Arcady Ivanov. - Fixed an unusual edge case of detecting source encodings, described in `issue 443`_. - Help messages that mention the command to use now properly use the actual command name, which might be different than "coverage". Thanks to Ben Finney, this closes `issue 438`_. - add LICENSE.txt - Pre require coreutils. This package is needed for the rm call in the pre section. Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.gONanE: line 3: rm: command not found - specfile: * updated license * updated update-alternatives * README.txt -> README.rst - update to version 4.0: (long list, see http://coverage.readthedocs.org/en/latest/changes.html) - fix rhel deps by depending on /usr/sbin/update-alternatives ==== ucode-intel ==== Version update (20160714 -> 20170511) - Update to version 20170511 - Update to version 20161104. ==== yast2-bootloader ==== Version update (3.2.22 -> 3.2.23) - AuotYaST configuration: Set StorageDevices flag disks_valid to true. So libstorage can scan valid disks and "/" partition can be found. (bnc#1043132) - 3.2.23 ==== yast2-ntp-client ==== Version update (3.2.9 -> 3.2.12) - Resrict records are written at the end but the default file and most profiles use them at the beginning, which mangles the file completely (bsc#983486). To fix it we have just changed the order of writing. - 3.2.12 - AutoYaST: Fix crash when trying to sanitize not string values, for example initial_sync. - AutoYaST: Sanitize comments by only removing blank spaces at the beginning and adding line break. This avoids augeas parse errors (bsc#1045777). - 3.2.11 - AutoYaST: Fix crash in CFA when creating a command record with some key value option is given (bsc#1045968) - 3.2.10 - AutoYaST: Comments from autoyast profile should not be sanitized to avoid entries without space between value and comment (e.g trustedkey 1# coment). This is caused by a bug in augeas adding new entries. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
