[Mageia-dev] mgarepo question
Hi. I have encountered a problem with mgarepo that I've never had to deal with until now. A package I'm working on has been updated and submitted, before I was finished, and I'm fine with it. But «mgarepo up» is asking me what to do, and I have several choices. Two of the choices are «(mc) my conflict» and «(tc) their conflict». (translated) I have never had a conflict hapening as a result of someone else working on my packages before, so I don't know which these to options do what. THink that one of them means that my copy is the copy to use, and the other option means that my copy is to be discarded in favour of the remote copy. but I don't know which option actually does what. It is Not obvious what the options do, for someone not used to having conflicts. And the manpage or documentation does not mention any options of any kind. Can anyone explain to me what these two options do? -- Johnny A. Solbu PGP key ID: 0xFA687324 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[Mageia-dev] Notes about live CD
Hi... I have used the Gnome LiveCD 32bits to do some disk test on an old box, and I have a couple gotchas I would have to share in the list (don't know if they are really bugs). Here I go: - this is an old i965 box. The ATA disk is named like hda. Why has IDE driver preference over SATA ? I would expect it to be sda... - the installer asks to remove the unused harware support, but the wording for the choice is misleading: [ ] Unsued hardware support What does it really mean if I tick this, I want to keep the unused hw support or to remove it ? Perhaps you could rephrase it like this, depending on what does it really mean: [ ] Keep unused harware support or [ ] Remove unused hardware support Thats all for the moment... -- J.A.

[Mageia-dev] "App-CPAN2Pkg keeps failing on already available packages" - https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=80418
Hi Jerome, I've been trying out CPAN2Pkg, and was dismayed by this bug: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=80418 "App-CPAN2Pkg keeps failing on already available packages (in the Mageia upstream). I did not get a reply to the previous bug I reported (which is of similar nature) in 3 months - https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=78510 . Now, I tried to find out what the problem with CPAN2Pkg and after a long investigation, I realised that check_upstream_availability() and _install_from_upstream_with_rpm_lock() are called only on the initial $self->module->name() (which is object-wide) and not only on its prerequisites. That's not good - we should check each prerequisite as well. Can you look into fixing this? Otherwise, it makes cpan2pkg extremely frustrating to use.

Yeah, this is a bit rubbish still. dm.service is just a symlink to mask the real name of the service but the error message helpfully doesn't hint at that. There was a discussion with a proposal to make this much better upstream just a couple days ago so it'll probably get better over time. For various reasons I won't go into here (it's on the upstream discussion) enabling/disabling services via their aliases is not a great idea. More meta info is certainly needed tho'! > How do I tell the system that yes graphics are installed and NO I don't > want to see them on boot?? So in order to see more info, you can do "systemctl status dm.service" This will tell you the *real* name of the service: which in this case is prefdm.service: [colin@jimmy code (master)]$ systemctl status dm.service prefdm.service - Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/prefdm.service; static) Active: active (running) since Tue, 2012-10-23 10:54:17 BST; 2 days ago So normally I would say just run "systemctl disable prefdm.service" should do the trick but if you look at the output above carefully, this is actually a "static" service. This means it cannot be enabled/disabled separately. This will eventually change (as in the long term we'll transition to separate services for each of the desktop DMs (gdm.service, kdm.service etc.). Anyway, for now it's a hard requirement of graphical.target. So long story short, you need to set your default.target to point at multi-user.target rather than graphical.target. You can use one of the utilities in drakxtools (I forget which) or you can simply issue: ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target (drop the leading "/usr" if on mga2).
