[opensuse-factory] Out of memory - endless loop
Gents,
I know that in certain circles, PHP has not a good
reputation( security) Untill know, i had never any problems.
I have a machine, not directly connected to the Net, and the only php
application on it is cacti.
Yesterday, coming home i found the machine unresponsive, it did reply to
ping, but that was all i could see (console dead, no reply to ssh)
After rebooting i found this in messages (below).
This section of messages repeated about hundred times
Is this a know feature of 10.1??
If there's a runaway process, too bad, that's life, it can happen.
But ending up in an endless loop is not good at all.
As it states free swap = 0kb it looks like a kernel process has eaten
all the mem, and that php gives the final trigger!
As it only happened once: i'll guess it's not reproducable.
Hans

PHP has problems, but the biggest problem is the code quality of the

This is a kernel crash that is most likely caused by something that ahs
nothing to do with PHP.

Re: [opensuse-factory] VMWare-Config [was: Linux-Kernel-Headers outdated]
Reply on 14-11-2006 13:00:22 I installed another 10.1 for this test. VMware-tools installs there, no problem with the kernel modules. Anyway, what I wanted to see was if the tools would work any better in 10.2 than the have so far in Linux. The windows client can run in its window and the cursor can go in and out of the window when tools are installed. Can you confirm this function working when running SUSE as guest? This has not been the case here. The cursor needs to be released from the guest window by pressing Ctrl+Alt if the tools are there or not. So the tools in case of SUSE as guest are useless anyway. The display properties can be adjusted just as fine with or without the tools, so I'm not too worried about the tools. Also if I run a remote session to that guest SUSE with FreeNX, the window works as any other window. Tools = no biggie :) No, I can not confirm this. This still seems not to work with Linux Guests (I don't think it's specific to SUSE). So the tools are really limited in usability... Also the clipboard copy/paste functionaltity, which would be VERY handy, seems not to work (VM WS 5.5 on Win Host) Dominique

Reply on 14-11-2006 15:16:24 Hi, looking at http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Management#Package_source_directories_on_t he_servers it seems that there is no agreement on how to name a 'software repository', 'installation source', 'catalog', 'channel', whatever ;-) I'm hereby asking the community to come forward with a proposal for a proper name. Klaus, I think the problem arised especially from the different tools to manage these 'things' yum - repositories smart - channels yast - installation sources rug/zmd - catalogs (But I'm sure you knew this) I for myself always use the wording 'repository', which is also very reflected on the BuildService (repos.opensuse.org). But probably just a usability question. But I agree, it would be nice to have these wordings unified, but again: this will be VERY difficult when you explain the users how to use a specific program and they come with specific problems.

[opensuse-factory] Grub Bugs
Tha last week, I have made a installation in a new har disk with 10.2 beta 1, and later upgraded to beta 2. Later I has cloned the hard disk, and when I boot from the 1st cd of beta 1 to correct and repair the grub installation, I could'nt add other OS residing in other hard disk, and the yast/grub utilitý do'nt let me add the disk and partition from the other OS. Later, I tryied to repair grub with the 1st Cd of SuseLinux 10.1(from the box), and the config utility works ok, but it coul'nt write the changes to the disks. I made a search in bugzila with the grub keyword, and I found 21 with the status NEW, about 60 ASSIGNED, and 19 with NEEDINFO status. https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=grubx=17y=4 How can I deal with this problem?

Yes, I think that Testopia will be very useful to allow community beta testers to contribute further to the formal QA test cycle, and as I learn more I will document on http://en.opensuse.org/testing As some of the emails to this thread have shown, there are people just sitting at home wishing to help, they just need some guidance. And I think there is room for the casual tester who just wants a quick test to run through. I do not really know enough yet, but I think Testopia may be a bit heavy for those users, and may provide an initial hurdle. So I can see Wiki based testplans for new and casual users to be more of a guide than formal test plans and then if testers want to give more time they can graduate to actually doing official test runs of the Testopia testplans and record results against them in the bugzilla.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Proposal on metadata fetching
Reply on 14-11-2006 15:34:53 For a detailed search do not download metadata but query a server. E.g if im looking for the string "foobar" and content cannot be found in the local metadatafile, Suse should not download further metadata, but contact an official server, which does the search. I do not know, what kind of server we need, if 10 or 100 thousends of clients will start search queries, but I think this may be faster, than fetching so much metadata all the time. I also do not know how many data must be uploaded in order to get this system working, so maybe it's a very bad idea and not realizeable, but perhaps there is a chance. Marcel, The idea of only having the RPM names / Summary is not bad IMHO. (maybe having an option for the user to decide HOW he would like to add the repo?) The thing with the search engine sounds fascinating, but I don't think it's possible to realize: just think about all the repos that exist out there. How could they possibly EVER be included in a search? And in plus, the server you query should know in which repos to have a look, as obviously it should only offer packages from repos, you're subscribed to. Dominique
Re: [opensuse-factory] Proposal on metadata fetching
Marcel Hilzinger schrieb: The big difference between Suse and Debian/Ubuntu is, that under Suse much more data get's fetched. So you can also search within package-descriptions etc, whereas under Ubuntu you have only package-names and files, but no description e.g. For a more detailed search you need apt-file. I think apt-file is compearable to the actual suse solution. As a starting point, the YaST2 metadata could be compressed. Debian does that since ever, but YaST2 metadata were never compressed. The packages file in Factory is currently at 16 MB, a good bzip2 compression reduces it to 1.8 MB - almost 90% gone. I think that this should really be considered first because it is possible entirely without functionality loss and without complicating the architecture too much. The thing with the patterns for unneeded architectures is more a cosmetic thing because the pattern files are very small. But many users notice it because YaST displays the filenames of the downloaded metadata. For YUM metadata, there is not much to do because they are already compressed and it's a standardized format - it can be extended, but not changed in incompatible ways.

[opensuse-factory] Proposal on metadata fetching
Beta2 is much better than 10.1 concerning the speed of the package manager. But as mentioned by other users already it's still far behind debian concerning the speed of fetching metadata. Adding factory as an installation source takes at least 15 minutes with an average DSL connection. The big difference between Suse and Debian/Ubuntu is, that under Suse much more data get's fetched. So you can also search within package-descriptions etc, whereas under Ubuntu you have only package-names and files, but no description e.g. For a more detailed search you need apt-file. I think apt-file is compearable to the actual suse solution. My proposal (for 10.3 etc): Reduce downloaded metadata to package-names and RPM-content. Do not fetch descriptions, etc. Most users know the name of the file/RMP they want to install. An error tolerant search can help finding the right package. For a detailed search do not download metadata but query a server. E.g if im looking for the string foobar and content cannot be found in the local metadatafile, Suse should not download further metadata, but contact an official server, which does the search. I do not know, what kind of server we need, if 10 or 100 thousends of clients will start search queries, but I think this may be faster, than fetching so much metadata all the time.

Hello, I have a mainboard based GPU (01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

VMware-tools installs there, no problem with the kernel modules. Anyway, what I wanted to see was if the tools would work any better in 10.2 than the have so far in Linux. The windows client can run in its window and the cursor can go in and out of the window when tools are installed. Can you confirm this function working when running SUSE as guest? This has not been the case here. The cursor needs to be released from the guest window by pressing Ctrl+Alt if the tools are there or not. So the tools in case of SUSE as guest are useless anyway. The display properties can be adjusted just as fine with or without the tools, so I'm not too worried about the tools. Also if I run a remote session to that guest SUSE with FreeNX, the window works as any other window. Tools = no biggie :) -- Vahis Sometimes I reply to top posters. Seldom. And usually just once.

Smart calls them channels in order to have a single name to avoid

I agree that for RPM the calling it 'repo' is much easier (and makes
sense since rpm-md uses a 'repomd' file and 'repodata' dir).

Re: [opensuse-factory] Font Funkiness
Randall R Schulz [EMAIL PROTECTED] さんは書きました: Hi, I just witnessed an odd phenomenon and I'm wondering if it's a sign of a problem or an aspect of the way font rendering operates (I can imagine it either way). Specifically, I opened the Beagle window by clicking its tray icon. When the window appears, the fonts were extremely ragged. I decided to take a snapshot, so I used the system (KDE / Geeko) menu to launch KSnapshot. I took a picture of the Beagle window. While I was doing so, I was paying attention only to the KSnapshot interface and had neglected to really watch the Beagle window. When I finally dismissed the KSnapshot window (after capturing and saving the picture) I was startled to see that the ragged font display had been replaced with a properly smoothed one. I've seen the phenomenon repeat itself after this first instance (again in the Beagle GUI). So my question is this: Is this a bug or is there some kind of asynchronous rendering of smoothed fonts that sometimes leads to a ragged font display upon first use of a given font but which is later replaced with the smoothed version, once the smoothed glyphs have been rendered?

There're already bug reports for these -
The only one I found (searching for pattern taboo) is
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=215355

The problem is that marking a pattern as taboo does not mark the
contained packages as taboo. The packages are only unselected and can
be re-selected via dependencies (which happens with zmd).
This is not the expected behaviour and can cause confusion - especially
for the zenworks pattern which is probably the top taboo pattern ;-)
I'll check this next week,
Andreas, are there any results on this yet?

This might be the following bug: http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=193095 There doesn't appear to be any mention in that bug report of spontaneous replacement of the raggedly rendered glyphs with smoothed ones shortly after the original, ragged display. The bug report does mention this, see for example comment #23 Comment #23 From Felix Möller 2006-11-10 16:35:53 MST i just ran gnome-theme-manager as was said in 214280. This crashedfirefox and thunderbird. But now all font problems are gone! So just starting gnome-theme-manager and exiting it without doing anything solves this problem. Federico Mena Quintero recently explained me that GNOME works as follows: - The GNOME control center sets some GConf keys. - The running gnome-settings-daemon gets notified about changes in the GConf keys, and it does the following. First, it sets some X resources. Second, it uses the XSETTINGS protocol to tell GTK+ apps to refresh themselves. - Running GTK+ apps pick up the XSETTINGS notification, call cairo_set_font_options(), and redraw their widgets. You can try that out by starting for example gedit and then gnome-font-properties and change the anti-alias setting in gnome-font-properties. You will see that it applies to gedit immediately. I am not sure which GNOME programs apart from gnome-font-properties and gnome-theme-manager can trigger this process to make GTK+ apps to refresh themselves according to the current settings of the Xft.* resources. But probably there are others. Therefore I guess that some gnome thing started and triggered this process while you were trying to make the snapshot of Beagle (which is a GTK+ program). I assume rendered glyphs are cached (lest font rendering consume inordinate CPU cycles throughout the system's operation). To your knowledge, is there any code that might account for ragged (point-resampled) glyphs being used (transiently) when the smoothed ones are not available on a timely basis?

[opensuse-factory] reboot instead of load kernel/initrd?
I'm really scratching my head over this. I have a system with HD on hda hdc, with 23 partitions on hda and 14 partitions on hdc. Among them I have installations of SUSE Factory, SUSE 10.0, Fedora 6, Debian Etch, Xandros 3, Ubuntu 6.10, Knoppix, DOS, OS/2 windoz. I have separate grub /boot partitions for Etch on hda5 and for SUSE 10.0 on hdc5. Each of the others have their own grub versions installed on their respective roots, except for Xandros, which has lilo on its root. The MBR of each HD has generic code. IBM Boot Manager is installed on hda2 and hdc2. I did some disk space reallocation so that some of the distros would have larger root partitions. So far I've only successfully done the move with 1 of 4-5 total planned. ATM, I've succeeded in transplanting Fedora from hda22 to hda11. I can boot hda11 either by chainloading from elsewhere, or by selecting it from IBM BM. I've succeeded in copying SUSE Factory from hda21 to hda10, but from hda10 it will only boot if I use one of the other distro's grubs to start it, either from a menu stanza, or directly from a grub prompt. From hda21 it still works as always. When I try to load Factory on hda10 with IBM BM or by chainloading to Factory's installed grub, the system instantly cold boots. I've tried redoing the copy from hda21 to hda10 twice (total 3, with fresh mkfs -t ext3 each time), and tried grub-install by chrooting from a different distro's boot, by booting it, and by installing with --root-directory from a 10.0 boot, always with no errors reported, but nothing changes anything. Grub reports no errors, so I have no idea how to troubleshoot. Any ideas? -- Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven. Matthew 5:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

I think apt-file is compearable to the actual suse solution. As a starting point, the YaST2 metadata could be compressed. Debian does that since ever, but YaST2 metadata were never compressed. The packages file in Factory is currently at 16 MB, a good bzip2 compression reduces it to 1.8 MB - almost 90% gone. I think that this should really be considered first because it is possible entirely without functionality loss and without complicating the architecture too much. ... Besides compression of metadata, the idea of central server that will contain all details of repositories is appealing because that will substantially simplify package management from user prospective.

So, the PDF roughly describes the miracles and wonders that the script could do for us but... where is it? Some .conf files are also named but no examples are given... In other words, IMHO it could be desireable to make a more interesting, more complete and fully descriptive document (i.e.: provide examples, too) instead of a for-the-press-presentation so the openSuSE community can benefit from this know-how.

Re: [opensuse] Is openSUSE for the common man?
One of the reasons I am using openSUSE now, is because I am also using SLES 9 at work. SLES9 seems a little dated, and I have been having a difficult time updating certain packages for it, currently Apache 2.2. I am using the smart package manager on SUSE 10 now (thanks!), but its website says its only tested on 10 and 10.1. It is also not in YAST on SLES9. Is there an easy to use package manager that will work with SLES9, which I believe is based on SUSE 9.1? While trying to install Apache 2.2 (so I can use it's load balancing module for ruby/rails), I ended up having to install several rpms - one of which was apparently the wrong version ( 9.3 instead of 9.1). One of the links posted here was for a repo that seemed to include 9.1 rpms, and I can probally manually install smart - but should it work? At work we have a SLES9 contract, but the online update didn't seem to have the latest version of Apache. As a side question, is SLES9 supposed to be up-to-date, or would they mostly just have security fixes nowadays? It has a really long lifespan, but I can't imagine they would backport all the latest packages (though it would be nice if so!). I'm kind of locked in to SLES9 for work use. I've been warned about using the wrong rpms on SLES9, which is why I'm so apprehensive about it. thanks!

[opensuse] alsa + udev problem on 10.1
Hi, I'm running several hosts on SuSE 10.1. On some I've problems with alsa: udev does not load the sound modules, so there is no /proc/asound when /etc/init.d/alsa starts, thus not loading anything. Debugging udev I saw that on the failing hosts hwup complains about blacklisted modules. However, on two other hosts with exactly the same sound device (and the same module) it works.

Today it takes about a minute for the last step from lists4.suse.de to my provider. The previous steps in the received chain happen within seconds one from the next. It is just the last one that delays for some unknown reason, and some times stalls to an hour or more (twice that I could notice). The reason was too few postfix processes delivering mail, therefor the delivering queue ran full (due to some bug in postfix it seems). This is fixed now. Usual advice is to use relay as transport for outgoing mail, so that incoming smtp connections do not use up all allowed smtp connections or vice versa. Sandy -- List replies only please!

Maybe you meant: ls file1.txt; cat file1.txt file2.txt What you really want as someone else mentioned is a tee as in: ls |tee file1.txt file2.txt It's a lot cleaner and probably more efficient. -- Until later, Geoffrey Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] Mail's getting betterer and betterer....
No mail from anything-suse for over 5 hours now - and I do not believe that no posts have made in this period. What's going on? Cheers. -- If you really want to know, you won't ask me. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
