[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the Week 2016/42
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This was week 42 – The openSUSE LEAP weak of the Year. It can’t be a co-incidence that the Release Candidate 1 was announced in Week 42, on the 2nd day of the week (42.2 – European counting, we start our week on Monday, not on Sunday). But also in Tumbleweed things are not standing still: of course many of the things are well in line with what Leap received (like for example Plasma updates), but Tumbleweed rolls at a different pace ahead of the game. So, this week we delivered these noteworthy updates in four snapshots (1013, 1014, 1018 and 1019): * KDE Applications 16.08.2 * KDE Plasma 5.8.1 * GNOME 3.22.1 * Boost 1.62 On the side of what you will be receiving soon, things are also moving: * Kernel 4.8.2 – in snapshot 1020+ * linux-glibc-devel 4.8: only one more build failure (lirc) * Bash 4.4: the dracut issue remains * KDE Plasma 5.8.2 is lined up * Kernel 4.8.3 – likely in snapshot 1021+ Keep on running Tumbleweed, keep on testing Leap 42.2 – help ensure that bugs you find in one of the two are also fixed in the other. Make good use of the weekend and have a lot of fun, Dominique

To the right, you can see 'lirc' being listed as 'build failed', including links to the build logs. Cheers, Dominique

Will this contain the fix for CVE-2016-5195 [1]? I think this fix is urgent. Currently my Tumbleweed has kernel-default-4.7.6-1.2.x86_64 which seems *not* to contain this fix. Or is there a fast path update repo? Ciao, Michael. [1] https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1004418

Michael, I guess it was completely frozen... I only got a coredump of ssdm but not sure its kernel related. Perhaps you've got also lot of coredump running at the same time ? And one trick you could try during the time to get a proper fix, is to activate autologin ? At least for me last nvidia 375.10 (from October 21) compile correctly and seem to work with my plasma. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

What does this sentence mean? It works again when booting with 4.7.6. I've filed a bug with some log excerpts: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1006392 Ciao, Michael.

Had lots of trouble with crashes, freezes, screen corruption on my laptop (also with older kernels). It uses the i915 module and has NVidia Optimus technology. (Noticed i915 in your bug report.) The settings used to stabilize my laptop: (1) Add to kernel parameters: i915.semaphores=1 (2) In /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "TearFree" "true" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection (3) Blacklist the nouveau driver: # echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf # mkinitrd # reboot This latter fix is probably only relevant when your system has NVidia Optimus technology (two video chips). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Many thanks for your follow-up on this! I have in my (rather old) laptop: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (secondary) (rev 03)
This is a valid work-around to boot with kernel 4.8.3. So at least I have a kernel running with fix for CVE-2016-5195. System is a bit slow in some situations though. E.g. when switching to/from text console there are some backtraces logged. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96781 for details.
This does not make a noticable difference on my system. Could you please explain what's this for?
Did not try this because there's no nvidia chip in there. Ciao, Michael.

You're welcome.
That's good, so that appears to be a workaround at least.
I think I got the information from this URL: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics (There are more kernel parameters mentioned, which might apply to your card. Beware: the article is written for Arch Linux) The TearFree is supposed to reduce screen tearing (which I had on my laptop, especially in Thunderbird): https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tearing Regards, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
Hi my system is an HP laptop with cpu intel 5500 and Nvidia 850gtx. Booting with kernel 4.8.3. semaphores=1 and the 20-intel.conf in xorg.conf freezes the system during kde startup. So I removed the semaphores parameter and the deadlock goes away. the options in the 20-intel.conf are very useful to get rid of an annoiyng bug that affect libreoffice calc when modify text in a cell. Thank you. 2016-10-23 23:45 GMT+02:00 opensuse@maridonkers.info <opensuse@maridonkers.info>:
