[opensuse-project] Problems with rsync.opensuse.org?
by Jim Henderson 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

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).

Hello again Tonight I worked on a couple more things that can help spread 12.3. I added backgrounds for Facebook, Google, and Twitter. Use them if you like them :D http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/TwitterBackground-Coming… http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/GoogleCoverFinal_zps978d… http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/TimeLineCoverFinaljpg_zp… The sources are on the artwork repository on Github.

[opensuse-project] Pro-active security announcement question
by Greg Freemyer 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Marcus, I just became aware of a data loss bug for all win8 / opensuse dual booters. The only "fix" is for users to turn off a new win8 feature. As the ntfs-3g maintainer, I will try to incorporate the patch that blocks mounting of ntfs / fat filesystems if the feature is found to be in use, but that is just a stop gap solution to stop users from shooting themselves. Again, the only real solution is for users to disable the feature in win8. Is there a way to announce that now instead of waiting for a ntfs-3g security patch? See below for details of the bug. Thanks Greg ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Greg Freemyer <greg.freemyer(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 9:40 AM Subject: Data loss bug for win8 dual booters (including opensuse dual booters) To: suse <opensuse(a)opensuse.org> All, (someone should forward this to the forums if its not already there). Just a heads up that win8 introduced a (on by default) feature that can cause data loss for all dual booters. From what I understand, the only real solution is to disable the feature in win8. http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Linux-and-Windows-8-Fast-Startup-puts… There is a opensuse bug: Bug 798337 - ntfs and fat filesystem corruption with windows 8 systems - ntfs-3g vfat state saved across shutdowns But the opensuse solution I suspect will just be to fail mount attempts if the new win8 cache file is found. (I'm the volunteer maintainer for the bug, so I have to research exactly what the best fix is. This affects all versions of opensuse including factory. Once I have a potential fix, I will make a call for testers since I don't have a win8 machine to test with). -- Greg Freemyer Intelligent Avatar Corporation Chief Technology Officer http://www.linkedin.com/in/gregfreemyer CNN/TruTV Aired Forensic Imaging Demo - http://insession.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/23/how-computer-evidence-gets-retrie… (678) 653-4860 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Some quick wiki help needed
by Robert Schweikert 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hey there, Anyone have a few spare cycles over the next week or so and would be willing to put a wiki page together? While oSC13 planning is running on all cylinders some of us need to start thinking about the next thing already, i.e. oSC14. For oSC14 there will be a "call for location" at some point in the not too distant future. However, to get this call out the door we need some requirements documented for the venue. That's where you as a volunteer come into play. We need a wiki page that documents the venue requirements for oSC events. Thus things that should be on the wiki page are: - need for projectors - wifi - room for 400 - 450 people - 5 rooms, one large enough to hold everybody - city must be reasonably accessible via plane, i.e. international airport - located in Europe stuff like this. The KDE community has something that could function as a guide http://dot.kde.org/2012/06/28/call-host-akademy-2013 So, anyone around that can spare a few cycles and work on this. The "Call for location" will come from the board, posted here first, i.e. insiders have first pick and will eventually be posted to news.o.o Help please, Thanks, Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU SUSE-IBM Software Integration Center LINUX Tech Lead rjschwei(a)suse.com rschweik(a)ca.ibm.com 781-464-8147 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] 12.3 Beta torrent tracker problem?
by Jim Henderson 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Not sure if this is the right list to ask this question on - if it's not, please let me know the proper place. (Seems to maybe be an infrastructure issue rather than something that belongs in factory, for example). I am trying to download the 12.3 beta using Bittorrent, and while transmission (the client I'm using) works fine with other torrents, I get the following error from the 12.3 beta torrent: Tracker returned an error: unregistered torrent I do manage to get download traffic, but it seems that the tracker doesn't know about the torrent itself, and I wonder if that's affecting performance at all. Anyone else seeing this issue?
