I have some bugs filed against YaST2 for various things and of course I am asked to attach y2logs. But for whatever reason my y2logs are ~14Mb and there is a 10Mb limit in bugzilla. I left a comment a few days ago but there is no response. Are y2logs normally > 10Mb? How do I resolve this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

For today my y2log is 6MB big. However, the *.gz for yesterday is only 376KB big. This help?

Ciao.

I guess I can keep on trying on different days and systems and hope to get something small. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I use bzip for compressing logs to be uploaded, because they are plain text they compress to a fraction of their size. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ummmm.... the ideas was that you may want to archive the file and attach it as a gz or a bz2 file :-) .

What I have done when bumped into this limit, is to expand the tar archive created by yast, and remove files I know they don't need, or even edit some files and remove content. Alternatively, lacking and answer in Bugzilla, expand the archive as above and break in two tar.gz or tar.bz2 archives, and attach both separately. Let them join them later >:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

The "save_y2logs" script (this is what is called by the Shift-F7 key in the YaST2 Qt UI) accepts .tgz or .bz2 file names and uses the appropriate compression method (gzip or bzip2) accordingly. If your logs are just above 10 MB, you might just get lucky with .bz2. http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST#I_reported_a_YaST2_bug.2C_and_now_I_am_aske... If that also doesn't work, you can split up overly large archives with the "split" command and attach the parts as indivual attachments. But if you do that, please add a comment describing how you did it so the parts can be reassembled. It will be little consolation for you that this Bugzilla attachments max size was a major discussion not so long ago. The limit was raised, but obviously it's still not large enough.
