[opensuse] Tumbleweed: automatic switching between repos
by Dmitry A. Ashkadov 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hello! I have added Tumbleweed:standard repository. I see that it contains a new kernel. I had opened Online Update, but it showed me no updates (empty list). Then I tried to open Yast software packages manager and clicked menu item "Package" → "All packages" → "update if new version is available". But it didn't offer me kernel updates. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OS 12.1 AMD fglrx video problem solved
by Hans de Faber 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

After installation of the amd fgrlx driver I had video problems. glxinfo showed no direct rendering. The solution was to replace the files /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 and /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.2 with a link pointing to /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 and /usr/X11R6/lib64/libGL.so.1.2. I think its an error in the driver install from amd. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I have not tried this with autoyast so ymmv, but yes, that is what I mean.

[opensuse] rebuilding dovecot 2.0.17 opensuse package on sles?
by Nicolas KOWALSKI 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hello, I am trying to rebuild the dovecot 2.0.17 opensuse package on a x86_64 SLES11-SP1 system, from the source rpm available here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/mail/SLE_11/src/dovecot20… The problem I have is at the end of the rpmbuild, about files that should be packaged below /usr/lib and/or /usr/lib64. The output is shown below. Any idea about what I am doing wrong ? - the command I used is: dev:/usr/src/packages/SPECS # rpmbuild -bb dovecot20.spec-2.0.17 - the end of output is: Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib64/dovecot/anvil /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth /usr/lib64/dovecot/checkpassword-reply /usr/lib64/dovecot/config /usr/lib64/dovecot/deliver /usr/lib64/dovecot/dict /usr/lib64/dovecot/director /usr/lib64/dovecot/dns-client /usr/lib64/dovecot/doveadm-server /usr/lib64/dovecot/dovecot-lda /usr/lib64/dovecot/gdbhelper /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/ipc /usr/lib64/dovecot/listview /usr/lib64/dovecot/lmtp /usr/lib64/dovecot/log /usr/lib64/dovecot/maildirlock /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib64/dovecot/script /usr/lib64/dovecot/script-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/ssl-params /usr/lib64/dovecot/tcpwrap RPM build errors: File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/anvil File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/auth File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/checkpassword-reply File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/config File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/dict File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/director File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/dns-client File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/doveadm-server File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/gdbhelper File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/imap File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/ipc File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/listview File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/lmtp File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/log File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/maildirlock File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/script File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/script-login File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/ssl-params File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/tcpwrap Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib64/dovecot/anvil /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth /usr/lib64/dovecot/checkpassword-reply /usr/lib64/dovecot/config /usr/lib64/dovecot/deliver /usr/lib64/dovecot/dict /usr/lib64/dovecot/director /usr/lib64/dovecot/dns-client /usr/lib64/dovecot/doveadm-server /usr/lib64/dovecot/dovecot-lda /usr/lib64/dovecot/gdbhelper /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/ipc /usr/lib64/dovecot/listview /usr/lib64/dovecot/lmtp /usr/lib64/dovecot/log /usr/lib64/dovecot/maildirlock /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib64/dovecot/script /usr/lib64/dovecot/script-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/ssl-params /usr/lib64/dovecot/tcpwrap Thanks, -- Nicolas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mentor wanted for programming
by Roger Luedecke 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

I have rudimentary knowledge of C and C++, and have dabbled in Python. I have a basic understanding of OOP. I want to be able to actually contribute in code. Alot of ideas I have seem fairly simple, but I don't have the skill yet to really work on projects. It would be better if I could get an idea started before bothering to propose it to any teams. Ideally I would like to learn Qt, how to make RPMs, and how to use the OBS. Frankly though, I'm not too picky since there are a wide array of things I could work on that don't use those. I have a very hard time with books and such since I have a learning disability, but I learn very well with hands on stuff. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
