[yast-devel] New package yast2-usbauth for Factory/Tumbleweed

by Stefan Koch

Hi, please add the new YaST package yast2-usbauth from https://github.com/kochstefan/yast-usbauth or https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:kochstefan/yast2-usbauth to openSUSE Tumbleweed. This work was initially created for SUSE in 2015. Part of it was the USB interface authorization for the Linux kernel. It's contained in Linux since kernel version 4.4. The packages libusbauth-configparser, usbauth and usbauth-notifier are already part of openSUSE Tumbleweed. packages from the usbauth development: - libusbauth-configparser is a library that is used to parse the usbauth config file. - usbauth is a firewall against BadUSB attacks. It allows/denies USB interfaces using a config file. The needed USB interface authorization is part of Linux 4.4 and newer. - usbauth-notifier is a graphical notifier for user interaction to allow or deny USB devices. - yast2-usbauth: is a YaST module to edit the usbauth configuration file Thank you.

[yast-devel] Online updates button in 15.1?

by Ludwig Nussel

Hi, In 15.1 we wanted to switch to using NetworkManager by default for all desktop installations, replacing the not so obvious magic that only uses NetworkManager when installing on a Laptop. Only the Server and Transactional Server installations should keep wicked. Furthermore, since SLE uses roles for such things, Richard volunteered to rework Leap's control.xml using roles in Leap too. The hope was to get rid of the desktop_roles code too. So far so good: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/759914#step/system_role/1 However, now we lost the ability to install with online repos enabled. In 15.0 there was a button for that in the desktop selection: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/678918#step/installer_desktopselection/1 In SLE that is covered when registering. There's a popup that asks whether to enable online repos: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2084621#step/scc_registration/6 Since Leap doesn't use registration that popup doesn't exist there. So now I wonder what alternatives we have. I'd rather like to avoid introducing this ugly screen again: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/302627#step/installation_mode/1 So any ideas how to get the feature back? Would it be possible to add the "Configure Online Repositories" button on the role selection dialog? Or maybe have the popup of SLE when the system can reach download.o.o, just without prior registration? What's easier code wise? cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Second round: new features in the Partitioner UI

by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa

Hi Ken (and yast-devel audience in general). We already implemented a first prototype of the new partitioner UI which makes RAIDs partitionable by adapting dynamically the set of buttons at the bottom of the table (to reflect only actions that apply to the selected row). But there are still too many buttons to fit nicely in 80x24. So we prepared the following gist with (animated) images explaining the current problems and some possible solutions. We need advise to move forward. https://gist.github.com/ancorgs/bf81a230e2a4634df7a05b90a1241116#file-parti… Cheers. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] nomodeset abuses new users and their supporters

by Felix Miata

Time and time again, NVidia gfx and Optimus users are unable to install without appending nomodeset to the installer's cmdline. cf. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=822769 resolved feature No mention is made in that bug if a feature request was ever filed. The bug request was to make appending nomodeset easier for users. This trouble with installation is routinely followed by a new support request, to resolve problems either with low resolution video modes, or black screens, or both. e.g. https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/533157-How-change-screen-resolut… More often than not, resolving this failure means the helpers must explain that nomodeset needs to be removed from Grub configuration, and how to go about it, which means temporarily at the Grub screen, and ultimately via /etc/default/grub and grub2-mkconfig. IMO it would be much a better user and support experience, and ultimately better for openSUSE's reputation, that when the Yast installer finds nomodeset has been used to install that it *not* be preserved in /etc/default/grub. Agree? If yes, file this request where, B.O.O., or F.O.O? If not agree, why not? OT but related: is anything being done or planned to make it less likely that nomodeset is necessary for a successful installation for Optimus and NVidia users? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

[yast-devel] Re: YaST GUI testing framework

by Stefan Hundhammer

On 9/24/18 6:37 PM, Rodion Iafarov wrote: > 1) Will YCP be dropped in foreseeable future, if yes what shall be used > instead? yaml+ruby? I might add that this is also about the low-level YCP container classes such as YCPValue, YCPList, YCPMap, YCPString etc. - and, most importantly, YCPTerm which is what the UI interpreter uses heavily. It doesn't really use any "real" YCP stuff, but it revolves around those YCPValue-related container classes. Should we decide to drop that completely, we will have to come up with an alternative which in all likelyhood will work in a very similar way; the UI interpreter needs some container classes for transporting the UI terms from the application layer (no matter if it's YCP, Ruby, Perl or Python) to the UI C++ classes. The alternative would be to rewrite all UI-related application code completely, using "new" for new objects and passing their parent as a parameter. With the amount of UI terms we have all over the YaST code I don't think this is realistic for the forseeable future. We'd break 99.9% of all YaST code. Having said that, I don't believe those YCPValue-related classes will go away in the forseeable future. The macro player which basically uses YCP "eval" to execute a chunk of code for each macro segment is another matter. We'll have to think about that. (I had talked with Rodion about most of this; this is just a recap for those who were not part of that discussion.)
