[opensuse-factory] Too many packages to process
by Vojtěch Zeisek 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

I'm not sure, if this is bug or feature... After few days, update applet (TW, KDE) says there are 6843 new updates (TeX, R, ... ;-). When I click to "Install updates" error "Too many packages to process (6843/5200)" appears. Zypper handles it well. Is it worth of bug report? To b.o.o? Yours, V. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/

[opensuse-factory] [SOLVED] ssh-agent problems with XFCE / gnome-keyring-daemon
by Stefan Seyfried 25 Sep '18

25 Sep '18

Hi all, After a TW update in the last few weeks, ssh with ssh-agent did no longer work with my established setup. (I did not verify the problem with a pristine user account, though). I have set up my system (a loooong time ago... ;)) so that the ssh key is stored somehow in gnome-keyring-daemon and gets unlocked upon login. The ssh-agent knows the key: seife@strolchi:~> ssh-add -l 1024 SHA256:96ejSSf7kXLZRWhEE4oJUk20+RukUpSJOu4elrVABCU seife@strolchi (RSA) ...but it did not work: seife@strolchi:~> ssh server sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation Password: If I now refreshed the agent with "ssh-add", and entered my passphrase, then ssh without password did work. The journal showed the following: Apr 08 18:28:41 strolchi gnome-keyring-daemon[1868]: the /usr/bin/ssh-add command failed: Child process exited with code 1 Apr 08 18:28:41 strolchi gnome-keyring-daemon[1868]: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/gcr-ssh-askpass): No such file or directory So the solution was to install the gcr-ssh-askpass package (which provides /usr/lib/gcr-ssh-askpass) and now everything is working as before.

[opensuse-factory] Re: java 11
by Chuck Davis 09 Sep '18

09 Sep '18

Does anyone know if packager of OpenJDK is planning to also package OpenJFX before JDK11 is released? I write desktop Java applications using the JFX GUI toolkit in addition to Swing. Having a reliable, continuously updated Java environment on openSUSE products would be a great benefit for Java developers. I know nothing about building a distribution but if somebody wants to hold my hand to explain how, I could throw some time at this project. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Leap 15.0 - Bluetooth - Failed to change profile to a2dp_sink
by Linux Kamarada 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Hi, everyone! My laptop is an Acer Aspire E15 with a built-in Bluetooth 4.0 adapter, namely Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth 4.0 (ID 04ca:3014). I had to tweak Leap 42.3 for it work, here is a brief of what I did: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/524410-Qualcomm-Atheros-Bluetoot… Then I was using the kernel-default 4.13.6 and kernel-firmware from the Kernel:stable OBS repo. When I upgraded to Leap 15.0 Beta, I switched to the kernel-default 4.12.14 and kernel-firmware from the Leap 15.0 OSS repo. Now, even though my Bluetooth adapter is working, I am not able to pair with my headset (Philips SHB3060) using the A2DP profile. I installed Blueman, which gives some more control and information than GNOME's System Settings. Using Blueman, when I try to change my headset to the A2DP profile I get this: "Failed to change profile to a2dp_sink" I tested downloading Leap 15.0 GNOME Live, flashing it into an USB stick and booting from it. Bluetooth was not recognized at first, but blacklisting the acer_wmi module (see my forum post for details) and rebooting was enough. Then, Bluetooth worked normally (including switching to the A2DP profile). So, I believe it is a problem on my setup, not on Leap 15.0 itself, i.e. a clean install would be half of the solution, the another half blacklisting the acer_wmi module and rebooting. Any ideas on what changed and how I can make the A2DP profile work again? Thank you!

[opensuse-factory] Proposal: Let's move to a more modern platform
by Ronan Chagas 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Hi guys! First of all, sorry if this is not the correct list to post something like this. openSUSE has many mailing lists and some are very active. I, as a developer, must follow some to make sure I did not miss an important news. However, IMHO, mailing lists through e-mails are not that good anymore. It is very difficult to search for a message (if you did not archive everything, then you must rely on the on-line database), if you delete a message, reply to that thread is not very straightforward, etc. I am wondering why do we not change to a more modern platform created with this kind of discussion in mind? In Julia project, they setup a discourse (http://discourse.julialang.org). It turn out that it is very good. In my opinion, much better than mailing lists using e-mails. What do you think about this? Cheers, Ronan

[opensuse-factory] [Tumbleweed] krdc stopped working

Unfortunately I can't say when exactly this happened, but while I was updating a Win7 laptop today I tried to log into it via krdc and that no longer works.

Hello, this looks like we have some haskell issue in Tumbleweed: > Package 'xmonad' is not available in your repositories. Cannot > reinstall, upgrade, or downgrade. Is there some more information somewhere? Thanks Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Mailinglist changes going forward
by Simon Lees 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

Hello everyone, Firstly I am cross posting this across a number of mailinglists because this post affects several, but I would ask that you keep your replies / feedback on the openSUSE project list as not to fragment discussion. It has been raised with the board by several members of the community that some of our mailinglists have not been working as effectively as we would like. As such and as raised in our annual discussion with the community during the conference, the board has decided to take a couple of steps that we hope will resolve these issues or that will at least be a starting point in resolving these issues. Firstly we have created a new opensuse-support(a)o.o mailing list, we as the board felt that in the transition from factory -> tumbleweed in particular the change in role for opensuse(a)o.o did not work well and in many cases there was an attitude that factory/tumbleweed issues should still be posted on the factory mailing list. As such we have created the support mailing list to help clarify these changes in policy that we don't believe worked when we tried to change them last time. In short we would like you to use opensuse-support(a)o.o whenever you require support whether it is for Tumbleweed, Leap (regardless of whether you are using a Leap beta or not) or any other project under the openSUSE umbrella. This brings us to the next issue, posting bugs / bug reports on mailing lists rather then bugzilla. This is a practice we would like to see stopped and we will be gently reminding people if they continue posting bugs on mailinglists, this especially includes if a package / application breaks when updating tumbleweed / leap (including beta's). We would ask that you search for your issue prior to reporting but in case you accidentally report a duplicate bug its easy for us to mark it as such, also if you report something that is intentional and not a bug it doesn't take long to mark it as such, so if in doubt file a bug rather then posting to a mailing list, there is useful information for filing bugs at the following links [1][2]. But if you are really stuck with trying to file your bug the friendly people at opensuse-support(a)o.o can support you through the process. The board hopes that with the changes outlined above the contents of the opensuse-factory(a)o.o will go back to just being general distro development discussion so if your post to openSUSE factory is something other then that think twice about where the more appropriate place to post is. The new tumbleweed snapshots will continue to be posted to factory but we would ask you do not reply to them in order to report issues / bugs. If a bug is reported that a package maintainer believes will cause significant issues for most tumbleweed users ie not being able to boot / login or severe data loss we still invite the maintainer to post a warning to opensuse-factory but such issues happen very rarely and as such we don't expect to see many such posts. The board has decided that it would like to see how well these changes work before deciding to add / remove / change openSUSE's mailing lists further. Although we have discussed several other possibilities that we could also try in the future. 1. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_reporting_FAQ 2. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

Notice, I still have to access web to do this. And therein lies the difference between Thee and Mee!

What 'current' may mean depends on the ML's algorithm, but generally I see at least a month on the openSUSE lists I subscribe to, and can scroll back that far. Since the messages NEVER get downloaded from my server account @ my ISP until I explicitly do so or explicitly 'archive' them to either the 'archive' folder' there or to the 'archive' under Dovecot indexing on my home server, this is not a problem. As for your laptop, well 256G is marvellous coma[red to the 16G I have on my tablet for reading email. So I NEVER EVER download onto the machine I use for reading mail. EVER. Of course you may have a cheapskate ISP that limits the number of messages you can backlog, the time period or the amount of space.
