[opensuse] systemd and oracle
by Vadym Krevs 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hello. I've just upgraded by development workstation from 12.1 to 12.2. It is still using sysvinit, but I'd like to switch to systemd in order to avoid the problems associated with using an unmaintained system service, and to make the future upgrade to 12.3 as painless as possible (as far as that's possible in Linux world :-)). My only real concern is to do with Oracle. Currently, all Oracle-specific configuration on my system is taken care of by the /etc/init.d/oracle script that is part of the orarun package (created by SuSE/Novell for SLES, and which works wonderfully on openSUSE). So the question is, has anyone created an equivalent systemd service file that takes care of setting Oracle-related kernel parameters, and has the ability to auto-start the db listener and db instances if necessary? Or will systemd be able to cope with the legacy /etc/init.d/oracle? -- Regarsd, Vadym Krevs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.2 grub and grub2 confusion
by lynn 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hi Clean install from a 12.2 DVD gives grub2 Upgrade on a system which already has 12.1 gives grub. If I wish to go to grub2 usin Yast bootloader, on the latter I get a warning telling me that grub2 is experimental. Summary: New install gives grub2 Upgrade stays with grub. Is that correct?

[opensuse] Changes & fixes after RC2
by Hernan Thiers 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hey guys, Within all the changes on RC2 to become the final release, are there some wireless related fixes? I ask because I have tried the RC2 with a Centrino wireless-n 1030 chip which result in a horrible experience. Now I have just tried the 12.2 KDE Live ISO and the good results make me think that wifi bugs have been fixed. Is this true or there weren't actually any bug related to this???

[opensuse] trying to upgrade from beta2 to 12.2
by Per Jessen 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

I tried running a zypper dup: Problem: kernel-default-base-3.4.6-2.10.1.x86_64 conflicts with kernel-default = 3.4.6-2.10.1 provided by kernel-default-3.4.6-2.10.1.x86_64 Solution 1: keep obsolete kernel-default-3.4.2-1.1.x86_64 Solution 2: keep obsolete kernel-default-base-3.1.9-1.4.1.x86_64 The problem description sounds like complete gobbledegook, and the solutions offered seem to be unrelated to the problem described? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypper update not working
by Peter Maffter 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

I tried to update zypper in the following way: I changed /etc/zypp/zypp.conf : packagesdir = /root/admin/zypperdir ... download.use_deltarpm = false ... commit.downloadMode = DownloadOnly The zypper packages are downloaded to /root/admin/zypperdir if I do: zypper up --no-force-resolution --no-recommends zypper That is ok so far. noarch/zypper-log-1.6.26-5.22.1.noarch.rpm x86_64/libsolv-tools-0.0.1-3.11.1.x86_64.rpm x86_64/libzypp-10.4.5-1.17.1.x86_64.rpm x86_64/zypper-1.6.26-5.22.1.x86_64.rpm are then in /root/admin/zypperdir . But when I try to tell yast2 to use /root/admin/zypperdir as update directory (as I have done with other directories before - these other update dirs are of course disabled before trying zypper) then yast2 always complains that "No update repository configured yet" As if the zypper downloaded stuff is not found? What is missing here so that yast2 recognizes the zypper-downloaded rpms? thanks in advance -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Finding outdated packages
by Karl Ove Hufthammer 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

After updating to openSUSE 12.2, I found quite a few packages that were outdated, i.e., didn’t exist in my 12.2 package repositories, and so weren’t upgraded when I ran ‘zypper dup’ (either because I had to forgotten to re-add the 12.2 versions of all the repositories (for example the ‘games’ or ‘security’ repositories), or because the packages were completely removed from all repositories). I couldn’t find a zypper or rpm command for getting a list of such packages, so here’s the commands came up with. Hopefully it will be useful for other people too. packinst=$(mktemp) packavail=$(mktemp) rpm -qa --queryformat='%{name}\n' | sort -u > $packinst zypper pa -i | cut -d'|' -f3 | tr -d ' ' | sort -u > $packavail comm -23 $packinst $packavail | fgrep -v gpg-pubkey To remove (uninstall) all of them, just add | xargs zypper remove to the last line. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer http://huftis.org/ Jabber: karl(a)huftis.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello: I wanted to give a try to LibreOffice 3.6. There is an openSUSE repo for it with .repo file and repodata files but no packages. Is it on purpose or only an error?

[opensuse] Commercial support
by Branislav Klocok 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

Dear all, Recently, I was appointed to rebuild my company's network architecture. The name of the company is OFZ (www.ofz.sk) and is located in Slovakia. So far they have mixed network (linux and windows) but the system was not developed for 6 years. My idea is to have network based on SuSe, that would be very easy to manage and contain all the recent gadgets (Kolab, OwnCloud, VPN....). Unfortunately I can not count with the support of the local IT stuff, because of lack of knowledge of linux and strong tendency towards Microsoft solutions. Does anybody know a local (Slovak, Czech or Polish) company or individual, who would be able to help me with this task on consultancy basis?
