Hi all, some time ago we discussed where and how we should share "Tips&Tricks" for YaST users and developers. IIRC there was no clear conclusion so I decided to start a wiki [1] to collect all our tricks we know or use. For now it's just a place for dumping your ideas, links, short howtos, etc... When we collect enough data we can probably split it to several categories or move it somewhere else. We just need the data first. I have added there some my tricks from my personal "knowledgebase" file. If you have better tricks or find something wrong simply change it, it's a wiki ;-) Ladislav [1] https://github.com/yast/yast.github.io/wiki/YaST-Tips-and-Tricks -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.

[yast-devel] Reminder: verify_partial_doubles is not default

by Josef Reidinger

Hi, again I hit by thinking that verify_partial_doubles is now default in rspec3. It is not and will be in rspec4. So what it means? rspec does not check if mocked methods exists at all and it can result in many not so funny errors in test suite. I am just faced it in network, so I create non trivial commit[1] that enables it there. It includes also how to avoid failures on mocked class[2] which avoided build dependencies. From list of errors it can check is typos[3], mocking of wrong class[4] and mocking non-existing methods[5]. So feel free to take it as inspiration and enable it also in your test helper.

[yast-devel] Fwd: Re: [Research] Recommendation for swap space

by Stefan Hundhammer

Following up on the swap space thread on [research], I just received an interesting piece of information from Jeff Mahoney (see below). Summary: kdump does not need swap with the same size as RAM. It doesn't need swap at all. (!) Jeff just put that into a Jira request: https://jira.suse.com/browse/PM-1444 -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [Research] Recommendation for swap space Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2019 09:55:22 -0400 From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm(a)suse.com> To: Stefan Hundhammer <shundhammer(a)suse.de> On 10/28/19 9:02 AM, Stefan Hundhammer wrote: > On 28.10.19 13:48, Jeff Mahoney wrote: >> I wasn't looking to point fingers.

It is common knowledge^W^Wgeneral folklore here (at least at the YaST team) that kdump needs as much swap space as there is RAM to be able to write a complete kernel dump. So this is not really true? No. This was the case using the old LKCD system that last shipped with SLES9. It was modeled after historical UNIX systems that had firmware writing to swap partitions for dump recovery. The kdump system we've shipped since SLE10 doesn't read or write to swap. >> Unfortunately, I wouldn't know where to look to find the source feature request for that in our products. > > Welcome to the club. ;-( When we rewrote the YaST storage stack, it was pretty much impossible to figure out the old requirements, so we reverse engineered them by identifying existing features and a lot of common sense^W^W Kentucky windage. And that was one area where that was reasonably easy to do. Ok, that's an easy enough explanation. I'll open a JIRA ticket to remove that requirement. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney Director, SUSE Labs Data & Performance ------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards -- Stefan Hundhammer <shundhammer(a)suse.de> YaST Developer SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer HRB 36809 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, value should be specified at https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP1/single-html/SLES-autoyast/#ay-pa… but sadly, it is missing. So something we should improve.

[yast-devel] YaST: highlights of development sprint 86

by Imobach González Sosa

Another YaST development sprint is over, so it is time to summarize what has happened during these two weeks. These are the highlights: Now that you had a chance to look at our post about Advanced Encryption * Improving support for multi-device file systems in the expert partitioner. * Fixing networking, secure boot and kdump problems in AutoYaST. * Stop waiting for chrony during initial boot when it does not make sense. * Preparing to support the split of configuration files between /usr/etc and /etc. * Using /etc/sysctl.d to write YaST related settings instead of the /etc/sysctl.conf main file. As usually, you can find the whole report at lizards.opensuse.org: https://lizards.opensuse.org/2019/10/09/highlights-of-yast-development-spri… Enjoy!

[yast-devel] Introducing new YaST encryption capabilities

by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa

In the latest sprint reports of the YaST Team we have mentioned several times that we are working in expanding the capabilities of the Partitioner regarding disk encryption. With a little bit of delay, we have finally published a separate blog post explaining the new features in more detail. https://lizards.opensuse.org/2019/10/09/advanced-encryption-yast/ 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
