Spectre vulnerability also present on s390x CPUs (according to "lscpu" output)?
by Holger Rauch 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

Hi all, the output of lscpu shows: [...] Spectre v1: Mitigation; __user pointer sanitization Spectre v2: Mitigation; etokens [...] is the (virtual) CPU really affected by Spectre or is it just some false alarm? (I'm aware that even if it were affected, the vulns are mitigated, but it still strikes me somewhat strange, to be honest.) Apart from that, I'm curious about the CPU flags. Again, output of lscpu: Flags: esan3 zarch stfle msa ldisp eimm dfp edat etf3eh highgprs te vx vxd vxe gs vxe2 vxp sort dflt sie (While "zarch" is probably self-explanatory, the remaining flags are not. Is there a list on the MEANING - not just the non-abbreviated full terms - of these flags?) TIA for any clarifications & kind regards, Holger

Feature requests for openSUSE Leap 15.6
by Sarah Julia Kriesch 19 Jun '23

19 Jun '23

Hello together, We have got a new release of openSUSE Leap 15.5. After the openSUSE Conference the planned release for openSUSE Leap 15.6 has been announced and the deadline for feature requests is already next month. Last year we did some requests like Java 17 based on OpenJ9. I suggest to think again about such important feature requests for having happy Linux users. We can collect our topics here or in our next meeting next week. Best regards, Sarah

Hello together, Tomorrow - Tuesday, the 13th June 2023, is the next of our training/meeting sessions. Last time all attending people agreed, that 19:00 would be a better/nice time. Therefore, we want to keep this time switch. I am open for questions and a round to find together solutions for open tasks. We will meet us at 19:00 (German time)/ 10:00 (Pacific time) on our openSUSE Jitsy: https://meet.opensuse.org/s390x Topics for this session: 1) Know each other (networking) 2) Open tasks and questions 3) Q&A I expect, that we will need 1.5 hours.
