[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Tumbleweed - Review of the weeks 2016/8
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, We’re back on a weekly report – after all, there were some snapshots now. But first, at this place, a big THANK YOU to SUSE for the new openQA worker machine. It’s a pleasure to watch it run through a full openQA run of a snapshot in just about three hours. Since last time, we released snapshots 0218, 0222, 0223 and 0224. And you can already see, we seem to be back on a much better release drum beat. What interesting updates did those snapshots bring: * KDE Applications 15.12.2 * KDE Framework 5.19.0 * Linux kernel 4.4.1 Thins currently brewing in the staging areas: * Linux kernel 4.4.2 * KDE ‘discover’ – The KDE Software Center (based on appdata) * openLDAP2 with password policy check And also for this week, I have (unfortunately) a note-worthy bug to mention: * While updating your system, the package ‘xdm’ causes a session loss, causing your update call to halt mid-way (boo#968405). Have a lot of fun, Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Just for those few not doing this already: I always start my "zypper up --no-recommends" call in a screen session, which did not save me from losing my Xsession, but at least the update continued unaffected while I was logging back in and finished successfully :-) -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hadn't we a complain regarding this recently? Debian for example automatically starts a screen session if the process runs non graphical. Has the complainer missed to file a bug report or feature request? Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
