[opensuse-factory] Samba Suggestion
by James Tremblay aka SLEducator 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hey guys, Would it be possible to add a definition in the samba server module for "workgroup" host. I.E. in a SOHO it isn't always necessary to setup a true "domain" server, however if there were a set of options for things like "LMB" aka "local master browser" and a quick set of clicks to join a "Workgrp" as a client this tutorial highlights the amount of script editing that could be avoided if the samba server were more "workgroup" friendly http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtolanprimer.html#samba Anyway just thinking, thanks for the best distro in the world!! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] icon of networkmanager still appears in systray in KDE4.1
by Rastislav Krupanský 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hi all. Although networkmanager isn´t running and i quit it in systray, after restart icon of networkmanager appears again in systray. Is it feature or bug? If it would be feature, my question is, why should icon be launched in systray, if i don´t use networkmanager? I´m on Alpha2 and KDE 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.0 (4.1 >= 20080722)) "release 17". Thanks Regards, Rasto --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Status openSUSE distribution
by Christoph Thiel 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hi everyone, since it's Hackweek this week at Novell, there isn't much news on the openSUSE distribution. However, as we didn't release any openSUSE LiveCDs with Alpha2 last week, I'll try to publish Factory-based LiveCDs (aka. Alpha2plus) later this week. Failing packages count is still quite hight (~139 on both i386 and x86_64). How are people feeling about Alpha2? What are you experiences? Best, Christoph -- Christoph Thiel, Tech.

[opensuse-factory] wireless network missing
by Felix M?öller 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi, I am using factory and have a wireless problem. I am running a MacBook and with OS X I have no problem connecting to a network. It is not hidden or anything. But with openSUSE the network is just not there (neither iwlist nor nm-tool) other networks are there. I have an atheros card and tried both the madwifi and the ath5k driver. But the network is not seen by openSUSE, the link quality in OS X is close to perfect. I can connect to other networks without a problem. Any idea what to try? I do not have acess to administrate the AP unfortunately... Felix Möller P.S: I reported it at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=419904 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

If you need to overrule a decision of soe veto-holders by a vote I'd be highly concerned. As long as the people with a veto have a valid argument, I think even a 99% voting in favour of a package should not let it in.

When a new package is proposed and 'accepted' by one of the reviewers, it should go in, except if any random other one has a veto. As long as there is a veto, the package should not go in (well: as long as the veto is backed with argumentation of course.... arguments other than 'i do not use this package' of course).

It seems that some people here don't like the idea of "uneven number of Reviewers". I would like to hear ideas of improvement.

IF voting if the best thing to be done at all... A democratic system is not always the best solution. And depending such a system on any random number of members sounds wrong.

[opensuse-factory] Contrib: Progress

Hi all, Both contrib wiki page and the candidate packages wiki page are growing rapidly, which is a good sign. Links: http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib/packages However, We still haven't really started. I think we should. There is one open question: contrib-updates. > What about updates for single packages in that repository? > If the repository is frozen after the release, we need an additional repository just for packages containing bugfixes and security fixes. Who will maintain this additional repository? > Who will review the packages submitted there? Should there be patches like for the official openSUSE packages available? I would prefer to keep updates to the minimum - only critical bugfixes and critical security fixes. As for distribution - I don't know if we need a separate branch for updates, but I think yes, having separate branch for updates is a good idea. Not sure what we will implement. Any ideas on this should be handled? -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
