[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Review of the weeks 2017/42 & 43
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Tumbleweed has been on the roll for the last two weeks and, thanks to all your efforts, a total of 7 snapshots reached the users since my last review. The snapshots had the versions 1013, 1017, 1018, 1019, 1022, 1023 and 1025 as usual, some had more or less impact on your daily work The noteworthy changes are: * Linux kernels 4.16.6, 4.13.8 and 4.13.9 (crazy, 3 kernels in 2 weeks!) * LLVM4 has been reworked into a single libLLVM library * LibreOffice 5.4.2 * Display Manager is no longer chosen via /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: YaST is simplifying and default things like DMs are easier picked on a prioritization list based on installed packages. Since the ‘Desktop selection’ had been reworked majorly, YaST had a hard time guessing what the right value might be. * KDE Applications 17.08.2 * KDE Plasma 5.11.1 (completion) * Qt 5.9.2 * Samba 4.7.0 And as if that was not enough, there is, as usual things piled up and ‘almost ready to be shipped’: * Linux Kernel 4.13.10 * KDE Plasma 5.11.2 * KDE Frameworks 5.39.0 * openSSL 1.1 as openSUSE’s default * PostgreSQL 10 As a reminder, if you want to get started with contributing to openSUSE, an easy entry point, besides reporting bugs, is submitting (often) simple build fixes for packages that no longer fail in openSUSE:Factory. An up-to-date list of current build issues can be found at https://goo.gl/7gtBRy Another thing you can keep an eye on is the InstallCheck report, published at https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Fact ory:Staging/dashboard/installcheck – packages that are not installable need some work (often it’s due to some build fails, sometimes just missing/changed dependencies) Cheers, Dominique

Ups - of course; that casual reader here might have missed the long discussion in the last 2 days. The 'default' is chosen by means of update-alternatives. The various DMs installed register themselves as options (with a priority for auto mode) As a user, you have these options to reconfigure your choice:
update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager This will give you a CLI interface where you can just pick your choice out of the registered options
in Yast, Miscellaneous, Alternatives (install yast2-alternatives if missing) Pretty much the same as using the command above, but presented by YaST

If this is something you were waiting for, you could have added http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database:/postgresql/openS... I'm running pg-10 for quite a while now, and I have not hit anything that bothered me. Make sure you initialization is not borked. The files or packages installed to init the database have changed. When your current is 9.4, you might have something like postgresql-9.4-4.1.noarch postgresql-contrib-9.4-4.1.noarch postgresql-devel-9.4-4.1.noarch postgresql-docs-9.4-4.1.noarch postgresql-init-9.4-57.1.noarch postgresql-ip4r-1.05-10.3.x86_64 postgresql-jdbc-9.4-24.61.noarch postgresql-server-9.4-4.1.noarch postgresql94-9.4.6-8.5.x86_64 postgresql94-contrib-9.4.6-8.5.x86_64 postgresql94-devel-9.4.6-8.3.x86_64 postgresql94-docs-9.4.6-8.5.noarch postgresql94-orafce-3.0.9-13.6.x86_64 postgresql94-pgpool-II-3.5.0-7.2.x86_64 postgresql94-plperl-9.4.6-8.1.x86_64 postgresql94-repmgr-2.0.2-9.12.x86_64 postgresql94-server-9.4.6-8.5.x86_64 That might change to something like postgresql-10-9.10.noarch postgresql-contrib-10-9.10.noarch postgresql-docs-10-9.10.noarch postgresql-jdbc-9.4-28.5.noarch postgresql-plperl-10-9.10.noarch postgresql-pltcl-10-9.10.noarch postgresql-server-10-9.10.noarch postgresql10-10.0-1.6.x86_64 postgresql10-contrib-10.0-1.6.x86_64 postgresql10-devel-10.0-1.4.x86_64 postgresql10-docs-10.0-1.6.noarch postgresql10-ip4r-2.0.2-21.8.x86_64 postgresql10-orafce-3.4.0-8.5.x86_64 postgresql10-pgespresso-1.2-1.6.x86_64 postgresql10-pgpool-II-3.6.5-11.5.x86_64 postgresql10-plperl-10.0-1.6.x86_64 postgresql10-plr-8.3.0.17-34.4.x86_64 postgresql10-plr-doc-8.3.0.17-34.4.x86_64 postgresql10-pltcl-10.0-1.6.x86_64 postgresql10-repmgr-3.3.2-2.12.x86_64 postgresql10-server-10.0-1.6.x86_64 Note the missing postgresql-init Sorry I cannot show you a 9.6 installation, as all my 9.6 installations are running 10 now -- H.Merijn Brand http://tux.nl Perl Monger http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using perl5.00307 .. 5.27 porting perl5 on HP-UX, AIX, and openSUSE http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/
