I am seeing this with an openSUSE 12.1 system at home, and also a
Factory system at work:
% host download.opensuse.orgdownload.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.134
download.opensuse.org has IPv6 address 2001:67c:2178:8::13
And then, when running zypper patch or zypper up, I see
Retrieving: repomd.xml [error]
Download (curl) error for
'http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml':
Error code: Connection failed
Error message: Failed to connect to 2001:67c:2178:8::13: Network is unreachable
Alas, my provider nor that network at work support IPv6. Still, my
system has IPv6 enabled since roaming around on different networks,
IPv6 may be present, or even necessary there.
(This does not happen all the time, sometimes if I retry a bit later
the system uses IPv4 and everything works.)
Now, is this just a setup problem and I should simply and
unconditionally disable IPv6?
Or are some parts of our update or network stack in need of
some adjustments?
For the time being, unless this is just me running into this,
should we disable IPv6 on download.opensuse.org?

Does anyone with a Samsung Series 9 (or other samsung laptop) know if
openSUSE is affected by the UEFI bricking issue (supposedly related to
samsung-laptop module)? Has anyone installed openSUSE on a Samsung
laptop with UEFI? Or did you disable it? How does this affect openSUSE?
[quote]
Booting Linux using UEFI just once on various Samsung laptops is enough
to permanently stop them working. Several reports have been posted on
the Ubuntu bug tracker, but the problem is likely to also be present in
other Linux distributions, as it appears to be caused by a kernel
driver for Samsung laptops. Kernel developers are currently discussing a
change which would disable the driver when booting via UEFI.

Hi all!
I would like to thank everyone who added feature description to our wiki!
The help has been awesome.
Next week, the openSUSE marketing team will work on turning that wiki page
into a pretty feature list with screenshots (and, who knows, video's!).
If you have not had a look at this page and added the big changes in the
packages you maintain, we would like to kindly ask you one last time to have
a look: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Major_features
Thank you very much!
The marketeers
PS. If you added things to
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Upcoming_features then don't worry, these
have been merged in the Major_features page. Sorry for the confusion. Please
use Major_features exclusively!
Hello,
There's a problem with opensuse.planet.org for Greeks who post at their
blogs.
Personally I changed blog address and informed admin(a)o.o. I also
informed them that Greek planet doesn't work.
Didn't get reply for a long time.
I sent it to the right address, right?
Thanks
Stathis

Dear openSUSE members, enthusiasts and everyone else,
I am writing this lines to express my indignation towards something
that was published on official communication from the project in the
following news[1] article, and I quote (ipsis verbis):
"We also heard that GNOME 3.6 would have packages as soon as it is
released, and GNOME 2 fork Mate and the GNOME Shell alternative
Cinnamon were both packaged and built for openSUSE 12.2 as well!"
Regarding this I would like to state the following:
1) I was for the most the person involved with the packages in
question; From which Cinnamon was actually in Factory for a few days
and then I called off due to an upstream move (the UP branches) that
left a brilliant nightmare for downstreamers. The software integration
with GNOME infra-structure was broken, was buggy and not working. This
was something at the time I couldn't fix and no one was available to
help me, so I called off the packages from Factory. For this I was
accused by a person with most likely know-how to help fix things (but
did nothing) of trying to DoS the release team.
2) For MATE to be accepted by the community I would have to find
co-maintainers; in 3 public calls I had zero replies. On a private
talk with Raymond he said he could help maintain them.
3) It's hard to get help; Alan Clark and 'his people' representing
the openSUSE Board made a public claim for me to leave the project,
and shortly after asked the community to ignore 'problematic and
poisonous people'. This clearly makes me 'problematic' and
'poisonous'. So in 2) the outcome was really no surprise.
4) Alan Clark and some of the Board members are fully responsible for
the expulsion of a member without existing a single document or
precedent that assigns such 'powers' to the Board. This happened after
I've appointed someone for the Board; 3 days after he was expelled.
The process was never clear to the community, this triggered me to
revoke membership, as I considered it an abuse commited on my behalf
and other members (the afterall represents the members). Also another
point to reinforce revoking of membership was the tyrannical demand
that all members should be forced to vote. This seemed mainly
motivated to cut down administrative tasks for people controlling the
active memberships. So much 'brilliant' people and that's the best
they can come with?
5) Before any of the previous, my credibility was mined by a few
people on the Marketing team; despite I actually have some skills in
Marketing[2] (there's no need to disclose the full document, as the
current proves enough), I was always treated badly inside Marketing
Team. I can recall my first and only OSC(2010), in which all offers
from me to help were left without an answer. If it wasn't for Sirko, I
would be for the most abandoned in the Hotel watching Nurembergs
beautiful Autumn leaves falling from the trees. I can recall the
former lead of the Marketing Team trying to punk me and humiliate me
in public discrediting my academical skills and recommending I should
listen to Paul Cutler (Novell Employee at the time, but not much of a
contributor either to Marketing or anything else I've stumbled with).
I got out of that Marketing team all bruised up and wanting to call
for blood.
6) Also long before this and the first time I really saw the real
face of openSUSE; Michael Meeks tried to censor me and remove me from
the openSUSE planet after I posted an article on planet that plainly
from a Marketing point of view it would be interesting the rise of a
new brand against one established for over 10 years (Libre Office vs
Open Office). This was purely something I wanted to do for an
academical paper. I got to know it was Meeks shortly after by someone
who was highly placed in openSUSE hierarchy. This was by the phone, as
such since all phone calls (originating or targeting) in Portugal are
recorded and saved for 7 years by the operator. This is demanded by
law, so If it wasn't really Meeks, my apologies, that was what I was
told and I can get a court order for a transcript of that phone call
to prove it. This was the first time I saw openSUSE was neither
transparent, neither free and this by itself seemed that it works
closely to a cartel.
There are a lot more of fun stories, full of conspiracy theories and
others. It's with great surprise that I see something that I worked
on, specially after all of this, which all public calls to the
'community' were left unanswered being now brought up in official
communition.
Is this an involuntary statement that openSUSE as a community is
really broken and that it now needs to pick up stuff done randomly by
people to show something done? Specially from someone you as a
community bruised up so much?
There are a lot of people I admire in openSUSE because of their skills
or because on how they handle stuff; I know, as always it's always my
fault, because it can never be yours, but this to say that YOU people
fired the first shells to my backyard, the rest was just maybe an
imature answer from my side (rude sometimes), but to me it's still an
answer to the brutality I was subjected in countless ocasions. How
could one trust anyone after the points above?
It is strangely how you dare to mention MATE packages when for 1 month
I abandoned them, no one did actually nothing for them; no one stepped
to co-maintain them, no one cared to help improve them for Factory, no
one even cared to have them accepted for all I know. Shame on you
people...

Trying to sync factory from rsync.opensuse.org and I'm getting an "error
in socket IO (code 10)" - specific message is "Address family nto
supported by protocol (97)" it started OK, but now I can't get it to
continue.
Just wondering if there's a server issue or if it's something on my end
that I need to dig into. I'm using a SLES10 box for the sync, but can
switch to an openSUSE 12.2 box if that's likely to help (I do all my rsync
syncing from the SLE box, though).
