[opensuse] KDE bug squashing - take a part
by Lubos Lunak 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hello, the openSUSE KDE team is starting another KDE bug squashing session, with the aim to review and sort all KDE bugreports for openSUSE. With the openSUSE 11.2 release, many of the reported problems have possibly been already fixed, are for obsolete versions or are not valid anymore for other reasons, and they should be sorted out to allow easier handling of new bugreports for 11.2 and their solving. This is exactly the time when you can help KDE in openSUSE, regardless of your expertise. If you like the 11.2 release and would like to contribute back, if you've already wanted to contribute but didn't know how or thought that you don't have the required knowledge, or even if there is a bug you'd like to see fixed and would want to help the developers and packagers to have more time to concentrace on it, this is the chance. And it is not difficult - all you need is openSUSE 11.2 installed, the ability to use Bugzilla, and the howto describing all the details. If you are interested, come (today, tomorrow, this week, whenever you want) to #opensuse-kde IRC channel on FreeNode, ask if you have any questions, consult the howto[1] and you can pick from the prepared groups of bugreports[2] and let's squash some of those bugs.

[opensuse] rpmbuild in 11.2 vs 11.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

The rpm command I used in the past (up to and including 11.1) no longer works. I am not sure what the change is. I build rpms from an alternate directory. This is mainly so I do not need to deal with permissions in the system-wide place. My command is: rpmbuild --define "_topdir /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm" \ --define _rpmfilename %%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{ARCH}.rpm \ --quiet \ -bb \ --rmspec /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/RSofT_Convert.spec /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm is the alternate directory. I get a message that this file cannot be found: /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm/BUILDROOT/RSofT_Convert-18.00-18.00.i386/home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm/RSofT_Convert-18.00.tgz It seems the odd part is the /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm/BUILDROOT/RSofT_Convert-18.00-18.00.i386 at the start. This worked in 11.1. Any clue where to start looking?

The MailTo was set properly. I instead changed /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf and added 'Print = No' as this is how it is set in my install of oS11 which works. I tested it out and got the e-mail.

[opensuse] Color Laserjet only prints in monochrome under openSUSE 11.2, but worked fine in 11.1
by Adam Jimerson 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

I have a Samsung CLP-315 and using the foo2qpdl driver I was able to get it to work color in all under openSUSE 11.1, but now after installing openSUSE 11.2 it only prints in monochrome. I have tried to grab the latest driver and install it but that doesn't change anything. What else could cause this short of the driver being incompatible with the version of CUPS openSUSE 11.2. Notice before someone brings it up, yes it has color toner everything works fine in windows. -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."

[opensuse] openSUSE ad membership
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

I have joined an openSUSE machine to the local active directory. That is working fine. I can log in via ssh using my AD user/password, and the user account was created. It works fine. The openSUSE machine has been rebooted, and KDM no longer works. I see this in /var/log/messages: kdm_greet[4854]: GreeterPlugin winbind does not exist and the message on the console is "No greeter widget plugin loaded". I have this RPM installed: samba-winbind-3.4.2-1.1.3.1.i586 I did a verification, and rpm tells that the config file is altered, which makes sense. I do not see anything about this in bugzilla. I have two options: (1) find the missing bits and get them into place, or (2) disable the winbind login stuff. I set this up in YaST. I do not see an option to disable the AD membership in YaST. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
