[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Review of the Week 2015/47
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, It’s been another week in which the weed has been steadily tumbling. A solid three snapshots have been published this week (with a 4th one being tested right now in openQA) The snapshots brought you those goodies: * GNOME 3.18.2 * KDE Applications 15.08.3 * Many other smaller fixes (sddm 0.13, python-coverage update) The snapshot currently running through openQA (20151118) will bring some bigger additions: * the new default system fonts (that’s why it takes a bit longer: all needles in staging had of course been updated, but the full Tumbleweed QA has > 70 tests compared to the ~10 running in Stagings, so a bunch more needles missing). With the current progress, though, we should be able to expect QA to pass later today or on the weekend. * Ghostscript 9.18: it did cause a few build failures in stagings already (renamed error variables); so if you’re building anything against it, you might be hit by this too. * X.Org 1.18: if you’re running binary blob drivers, you might want to block off this update. The vendors might take some time to get their drivers in shape. * Masa 11.0.5: addressing a bunch of stability issue with nouveau and i965 drivers The staging projects are currently all busy – Some of them need your help to resolve the pending issues. The main updates causing issues are: * Boost 1.59: I think everybody expects issues with a new boost version by now. This time around, all but one have been fixed: cmis- client still fails on ppc64le. * GStreamer 1.6: most of the packages seem ready for this. The critical component missing is Phonon Besides all those updates, we’re struggling a lot with building java- related packages since the update of Kernel to version 4.3.0 – it seems this kernel, running as guest in KVM, triggers some bugs that are only seen when building / running java related things (see also boo#954218 [0]) With all this, I wish you a great weekend – and always remember: Have a lot of fun.

It looks like the latest NVIDIA long-lived branch drivers support 1.18 as of this week: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/95159/en-us -- Evan McClain https://keybase.io/aeroevan

Good - for the NVidia users; AMD Catalyst is not there yet if I'm not mistaken, Hence the notice: update with care if you run the binary drivers. Cheers, Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Although support for 1.18 is announced here, it fails on my Tw w/GTS450, but another version released yesterday saves the day for me: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/358.16/ sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-358.16.run -aqs -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

FTR, SRs 345494 and 345493 submitted by shumski should fix Phonon with the newer GStreamer. -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: A29D259B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
