[Mageia-dev] NVidia fallback to Nouveau after latest Kernel updates
Since last Cauldron kernel update, I have two nvidia based system which now fallback to nouveau when starting X - stating nvidia cannot be loaded. checking in dmesg - I see that the nouveau driver grabs the card before the nvidia driver can - but trying to remove the nouveau driver wants to remove over 800 packages!

[Mageia-dev] udisks not running?
In bug #4635 I described how wifi keeps connecting/disconnecting continuously - by dmesg I found out that it seems to be related to udisks (pls don't ask me how it may be related). Today I booted into that same Beta1 installation and wifi behaved correctly (coming up, staying up). A check with ping proved that internet was accessibly. Then I did a 'urpmi --auto-update' which failed with the message, that "service udisks (udisks-daemon) is not running or not ready". If my assumption in the first line of this mail is correct, then not having udisks running brings stable wifi connection but prevents me from using urpmi, udisks running lets me use urpmi (via cable connection) but not wifi. Sorry for all the assumptions - without more technical info I did not bring this to bugzilla. -- wobo

Reasonable behavior, so to avoid this the x11-server should always match the current proprietary driver. In other words: either one whould be fixed with coming updates. -- wobo

As stated a million times before... qt3 is obsolete The only reason we have some qt3 runtime support is because of LSB Sad.. Any stuff needed should be ported to qt4. Actually this is not true. One of our Mageia users (who introduced Mageia on a dozen of machines) can't switch the next dozen because of lacking Rivendell Radio Broadcasting software ( http://www.rivendellaudio.org/index.shtml ), the other can't use his favourite qt3 apps, and a few others (including RH employee) are forced to use Fedora or KDE4. If the "obsolete" part is the only reason, then it's not too strong.. the package is maintained and there is *upstream*. As of the 3.5.13 release the Trinity project has taken over maintenance of Qt3. This means we are the new "upstream" location for up-to-date Qt3 source code. Since there have been no updates or stable releases from Nokia/Trolltech in many years and there are literally hundreds patches floating around, there was a significant need for a central location. By maintaining Qt3 it will allow us to continue to improve Qt3 outside the scope of Trinity. It will also provide a central location for Linux distributions to build packages from, and contributers to submit code to. For obvious reasons any Qt3 version released by this project is licensed under the GPL only; holders of Trolltech Qt licenses may not use these versions in their proprietary projects. http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13#Qt3 Trinity is currently packaged for Mandriva, OpenSUSE and available for the main distros. -- Thomas BTW.

[Mageia-dev] Version freeze: 2012/03/07
What is a version freeze? Let's take an example: abiword-2.9.2-5.mga2.src.rpm 2.9.2 is version -5 is release Version freeze happens when no more version changes are allowed ( unless exception ). On Mageia 2 planning, it will happen on 7th of march. That's in 5 days, for people that do not look their calendar. Reasons for a freeze - We start the freeze in order to focus now on fixing pending bugs and stabilize general state of distribution in order to prepare the release of Mageia 2 on 3rd of may. The version freeze will be followed by a release freeze on 7th of april, and a freeze for release. The main goal is that bugs are caused by general changes, so to reduce bugs count, we should focus on just fixing them. It avoids edge effects because of last minute updates. What it changes in practice if a package is a different version from the previous one, youri ( our package upload tool ) will block the upload, unless you are in a special group ( see end of mail for the list ). So while non version change can be uploaded without problem ( so people can still add patches, etc ), version changes should be submitted by autorized person. How to ask for an exception - - First, try to build the rpm locally, test it, see if it installs and works fine. Check that the changes are minimal enough, on Provides and Requires tags, on file location, etc - Do not commit in the main branch for now ( you can use branch if you want ) - If unsure, please ask first for a freeze break on mageia-dev, with reasons. Please keep in mind that only bugfixes should be accepted. - Once the break is accepted, please commit and then ask for submitting Criteria for accepting updates -- Since we aim for stability, the criteria would be near the ones of updates. For example, if this is upgrade to a stable release when the rc was here ( like for gnome ), this should be ok. If that fixes an important bugfix, or a security issue this should be ok, provided there is not much breakage, and that it doesn't require to rebuild half of the distribution. Please explain clearly if there is an important bug, give url, etc. While we should have discussed this before a little bit more ( as said in meeting ), we will take the following list for now, with people who should be both avliable and experienced enough. List of authorized people to submit new version - misc - ennael - tmb - anssi - boklm http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-dev/2012/mageia-dev.2012-02-15-20.13.log.html#l-75 Cheers ennael & misc

[Mageia-dev] Updating the lm_sensors package with a new "sensors-detect" script without a new lm_sensors version
Hello, Bug 4095 ( https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4095) asks that we update the version of the "sensors-detect" script in the lm_sensors package. I have checked with the lm_sensors people (Jean Delvare) and this should be safe. They are working on a new version of the lm_sensors code, but were "delayed by a last minute bug (not in sensors-detect.)" I would normally prefer to wait for the new version, but Jean is busy with other issues at the moment and I know we're coming up on version freeze. Any thoughts? Thank you, Jeff

Nouveau driver still there (although I tried with XFdrake to get the nvidia re-installed), but that did not make my system unusable before 2. wifi connection totally lost (not possible to get a connection, whichever way I tried) 3. After system start the system now displays a message that it can not start Gnome 3 because my graphic system is possibly not able to run in normal Gnome 3, so it starts in a somehow "compatibility mode". /etc/X11/xorg.conf shows that the nouveau driver is working, which never had problems with Gnome 3. 4. I switched to tty2, and was presented with my keyboard now writing in black! Trying to write 'asdf' does not show any character but hitting enter returns 'asdf: command not found" Points 2, 3, 4 occurred at reboot after the update. I'll call it a day... -- wobo
[Mageia-dev] oce (opencascade) license issues
I have been working on oce, but need help deciding on where to put it and with what license. Oce is the OPENCascade Community Edition. Earlier versions are/were packaged by Mdv and Fedora, and recently Deb has included it. It seems from OPENCascade's own license literature to be LGPL-like with differences. (but rpmlint is not happy with that). Fedora consider it non-free, but since all the source is available and redistributable I don't know why, so ignore my comment on line 1 of the spec. There are links in the spec to license references. Barry
[Mageia-dev] Problems with systemd and /media.
Since systemd puts /media on tmpfs, specifically in /lib/systemd/system/media.mount, it's causing problems on upgrade of a system with fstab entries that have mount points in /media. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3550 At present, we have an errata entry regarding this https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_2_Errata#Base_system Currently the bug is assigned to the installer, with the idea that those fstab entries should be automatically removed. I've since been thinking, it might be better if either systemd, or dracut could parse /etc/fstab, and automatically recreate any mountpoints under /media. Opinions? Regards, Dave Hodgins

Thierry do you see what may be the culprit for this ?
