Probably, but is not time to worry about that, maybe in about 5 years or so.. dunno, but now **is** time to worry for PHP4 as it is going away this year.. software has a lifecycle and in 5 or 6 years your investment is already recovered and you can devote new resources into updating your applications, this happends all the time, and not only with PHP...( but is more notorius with PHP due to it's popularity) I would **love** to hear how we, openSUSE, can help you in the migration without intruducing PHP4 again.. do you need more documentation ? howto? is the online PHP documention not enough to do so ..I mean.. geez.. the changes are not **that** many...I have asked this very same question to many people and I never got a proper answer.. so I suspect people just want to use obsolete stuff till the end of time and cause unnecesarry workload on package mantainers.. You can also google for the redhat or ubuntu rationale about removing PHP4 from their distros and you will find it is pretty similar.. so no need to elaborate more. Ok, this is a must-answer situation for various reasons :-) 1) You probably misunderstood my point of view at least partially. I am not arguing about how fine PHP4 is and that it shall live forever. I am in no way interested in PHPversionwhatever. I am _only_ interested in setting up an environment for _users_ that do what users do. If they need some (php) application, they google until they reach a download link, click on it and expect the webservice (and thats my part) to run with whatever they downloaded. They have _no idea_ what php is and how it works. Explicitely they are not interested in versions - and (which bothers me) they are _a lot_. That means: you cannot talk to them for explaining something, because it is impossible to explain something to hundreds of people with complete lack of technical understanding. And of course I do not fix customer php scripts on the fly, because that only leads to me being responsible. Change one byte of code and you are responsible. So, all that I expect from a current distro is that it covers the market of applications. You can read everywhere in this thread that PHP4 is widespread, and up to today it is maintained. So it is _not dead_. Even if it were dead it still works. Why vote for removing something that is widespread, works for people and is maintained? 2) You cannot help me with a migration that is not mine. I only have to make sure that people's scripts have a working platform to run on. And I can tell you from our tests that less than 5% of the php-scripts running on our servers work with PHP5. There is no way to change that. Sure they will get less, but not significantly or even vanish over the next three years. 3) I am not really interested in what redhat or ubuntu do, if I were I would probably use them. If opensuse only does what the others do, why does it exist then? Shouldn't it be _better_, more _comfortable_ or cover a bigger market ? 4) Really, nobody expects here that you maintain a PHP4 package forever. The last official release for both PHP4 and 5 date 03. May 2007 which is 6 days back. The only thing I vote for is not to forget the _people_ out there. The majority of people cannot afford always using the latest piece of car, tv-set or software. The reasons are numerous, some don't have the money, others don't have the technical insight - and lets not forget: most don't _want_ to be geeks at all. They want to use software that is available on the net. And I cannot see what's wrong with that. Sometimes software business is really odd. Nobody would ever throw away his car only because it is 5 years old but still running ok, even if the manufacturer tells him to because there is a brand new one available with lots of cool new features.

[opensuse-factory] Topics dist meeting 2007-05-10
We'd like to discuss the following topics tomorrow. Please send your comments and suggestions as usual so that I can represent them. thanks, Andrea * Smaller systems - what can be done? Goal: A system with 128 MB of space. Challenges are especially: * Languages and localization * documentation - some packages have documentation split up already * theming - some packages will be split up so that only one theme is in a package. For languages we discussed previously already the following and will implement this now: The idea is to add to spec file of packages a new rpm macro so that subpackages are created and then related subpackages are repacked for each language in our build system. This way we would get e.g. basesystem-$lang and gnome-$lang packages and those can then be installed. * Shared library policy (posted some time ago on opensuse-packaging, is now in the wiki) * dbus restart Making dbus a special reboot case like the kernel when updating (like other distros - dbus is really not supposed to be restarted). -- Andreas Jaeger, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 pgpP862n5X3Vw.pgp Description: PGP signature

Most of those the click and download apps already works with PHP5. So it is _not dead_. yes it is, more or less. Why vote for removing something this discussin came up during 10.1 development, so you are late. ;P that is widespread, works for people and is maintained? Our mission is to deliver a working system, that is manageable and does not cost gazillions of hours to developers.. developer time is a **limited** resource. using the same rationale..let's include 2 GNOMEs. 2apache versions.. Python 2.2 , 2,3 2.4 and 2.5 just for the apps that does not run in python 2.5... or well.. 3/4 GCC versions so people can compile broken code that does compile with GCC 4... that less than 5% of the php-scripts running on our servers work with PHP5. Your numbers are wrong, most should work. you are doing something wrong in your configuration then, I have worked in real life,commercial, large PHP4-PHP5 migrations and Im sure that is wrong. 3) I am not really interested in what redhat or ubuntu do, It matters in this particular situation what others have done..too se how others are managing certain parts of their **products** (even corporate distros are following the same approach..) if I were I would probably use them. If opensuse only does what the others do, why does it exist then? Shouldn't it be _better_, more _comfortable_ or cover a bigger market ? You are not understanding. this is about product managment, we cannot offer support for 2 years for a software that is actually having very small manteniance, with only critical or secuirty bugs fixed (and takes months to get a fixed version) and that will be officially abandoned ina few months. then people like you will post rants how bad is the mantainance or bugs not getting fixed.. (not to mention that PHP4 does not work correctly on 64 bit systems either and you will find countless strange issues..) 4) Really, nobody expects here that you maintain a PHP4 package forever.

Yes it is, and unfortunately you have to deal with it. FYI, im thinking about providing a better but stripped down PHP4 package in the server:php repository but it will be removed from the repository the same day it's official EOL is announced (expected on the first days of 2008 or so), keep in mind that I will not fix stuff on it, and will only add secuirty fixes from time to time (very low priority), in any case dont expect that to happend soon ;) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Almost all our users use Outlook 2000 / outlook xp / outlook 2003 and outlook 2007, some also use outlook express. I have also read about Open-xchange. anyone using the product? GroupWise is a really fine corporate collaboration product. It's scaleable (which you don't really care about, I realize) and easy to manage. The client has gotten better and better, and there are some quite exciting new features coming in the version due end of year (code name Bonobo, or something like that). Runs great on SLES. Requires edirectory (this is one of the things that is changing, I think in the next version, or two) and management via console one, which is a bit of a clunky java util. If your users are used to OutLook, then you can either continue using that with the GroupWise connector, or (what I would suggest) move them to the native client, as it is easier to support is familiar enough that users will get used to it. If you try to use the Outlook/GW connector, there are some compromises (not everything works exactly as it does in either product on it's own) and there MAY be some issues with stability. I have not used it ... I know that earlier versions were a challenge in some ways. I have also heard it has gotten better. The GW client (like OutLook) is *NOT* a strong email client, from the traditional nix point of view ... it's monolithic, doesn't have strong scripting or command line options, defaults to top-posting, etc etc etc but if your users are used to Outlook they will understand and like the GW approach. I've never used Open-xchange but what I have *heard* is that it is quite nice, but not as polished, not as complete feature-wise for collaboration, etc ... but I don't really know.

It has a gui, and as I remember it takes only a few clicks to create a dvd file system with menues, buttons and everthing, and it accepts all kinds of formats as input and AFAIK does all settings regarding bitrate/resolution/etc by itself. It is more or less a front end to various linux command line tools; it shows you the complete list of command set it uses to do its things, so it is also a good starting point to get familiar with some of the popular video editing cli tools and their switches. It installed nicely with all dependencies fullfilled from Packman for me (OpenSuse 10.2). If you want to master your own dvd, you might also give dvdstyler (also from Packman) a try, it's also very basic and easy, creates dvd menues and everything, but I am not sure wether it will take .avi as input right away. My tool chain is usually: 1. kino to capture and cut all kinds of input, and convert it to mpeg2 (AFAIK it uses ffmpeg as a backend for conversion), then 2. dvdstyler to create the dvd file system, then 3. k3b to burn All software should be available either on the official repositories or Packman.

I can't for the life of me figure it out and it is embarrassing and frustrating. First off cron doesn't log for shit. Sendmail wasn't running so I turned postfix on to see if mail shows up in root, it hasn't after 6 hours. I can see cron starting up in /var/log/messages, but that is it. I simply want to place a script called backup under cron.daily The cron script can be set to send a report via e-Mail, setting the variable SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR to yes will setup a mail address for all jobs. Now on my 64bit machine this variable turned up in YasT in system--/etc/sysconfig Editor but it looks as if was placed in the /etc/sysconfig/cron file because I was using it on the system already. You can try adding the line SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR=yes in the /etc/sysconfig/cron file, or add the line to the /usr/lib/cron/run-crons script. This is a bit of pain because you get messages for the hourly cron jobs and I run a modified run-cron script that only does this for daily or monthly cron jobs. (Thinking of modifying it further to send a daily digest plus error mails). Cron does some basic syslogging ... but nothing very detailed. . So I run service cron restart, it checks /var/spool/tabs/ and /etc/crontab. The crontab is the default and should run cron.daily scripts. I've read that I need a file cron.daily under lastrun (which is empty now) so it's timestamp can be used. I've tried manually creating this and it doesn't work. This is a lock file... If there are executable files this file is created for each of the cron.time directories. To force the daily scripts to run use touch to create the cron.daily file at least 24 hours before the current time. Otherwise it will effectively block exuction for 24 hours. Please HELP! Where do I look to see what is going wrong. I need hints. I *should* be able to reinstall cron, put a file under cron.daily, and sit back and relax (ie. cron.daily jobs are run by default on a fresh system with cron), but this doesn't work.

You simply need to place an executable script in the cron.daily dir. These
are run by the /usr/lib/cron/run-crons script: you can examine it to see
how it works.
For example, if it is a laptop on batery, it will not run.
You could edit the file so that it logs a message to syslog when it runs
or runs something; loo for this line:
nice -n ${CRON_SCRIPT_NICE_VALUE} $SCRIPT $TEMP_MSG 21
You could add below a call to logger to log a messge of your choice for
each script.
Or you could define the variable SYSLOG_ON_NO_ERROR to yes
(/etc/sysconfig/cron).
So I run service cron restart, it checks /var/spool/tabs/ and
/etc/crontab. The crontab is the default and should run cron.daily
scripts. I've read that I need a file cron.daily under lastrun (which
is empty now) so it's timestamp can be used. I've tried manually
creating this and it doesn't work.
That file /dissables/ the script for 24 hours.
According to timestamps it is not reading any files in the system
every 15 minutes and it should at least look in lastrun I believe.
It doesn't read, it checks timestamps of the directory. If this stamp
changes, then it reads those crontab files.

I didn't note this () and I continued with installing this server (asterisk server) (pbx software) with no problem at all. Then I packed this pc and send it away. After about a week they were using this, they told me there are strnage noises in conversation. I investigate the problem and found this continuous reset or similar, and I am thinking about the fact that they can lower the qaulity of the phones. I have a Digium PRI card in it to connect to PSTN, but I inserted the card after a week I installed the PC (on 11 Apr (Ester in the middle) ) and the problem was ALREADY present The keyboard I used to install is here and they are using another keyboard there. Moreover, also unplagging the keyboard has no effect. I also tried to remove kernel-smp and install kernel-default (recompiling asterisk and so on..) with no difference, as no difference are shown starting in failsafe. So the problem could be the keyboard controller on the pc... anyway I will have back the pc in my hands on Friday morning (I prepared a new one, with the same Suse 10.1 O.S. and software and it works perfectly.. but it is not an HP, it is a different brand (assembled) PC , with 1 IDE HD (HP has 2 SATA disk, with mirroring software configured ) Thanks again for your interest Andrea -Messaggio originale- Da: John Andersen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: martedì 8 maggio 2007 22.02 A: opensuse@opensuse.org Cc: Andrea Lanza Oggetto: Re: R: [opensuse] HW Problem ?

[opensuse] Burning dvd size mismatch.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I burnt a dvd (non iso) using this command line: growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=image Then, I compared the result: cmp /dev/hdc image and got this: cmp: EOF on /Grande/imgs/image Thus, to check whether everything was saved, I extracted the image from the dvd: nimrodel:/Grande/imgs # dd if=/dev/hdc of=dvd 9179712+0 records in 9179712+0 records out 4700012544 bytes (4.7 GB) copied, 392.888 s, 12.0 MB/s and compared the sizes: 47 image 4700012544 dvd Ie, the dvd image extracted from the dvd is slightly bigger. I assume this must be some kind of end of track adjustment, but it means that the compare fails. I think I can compare doing this instead: nimrodel:/Grande/imgs # cmp --bytes=47 image /dev/hdc and they match.

That woks as long as you also rewrite the MBR to remove GRUB.

Re: [opensuse] NVIDIA drivers
Hello All I sometimes feel that this debate is a long way away from reality... PCs as we know then today have a visual interface, this ultimately means that video cards and their driver are unavoidable hardware/firmware. I could understand a moral standpoint from the kernel developers if they insisted that all Linux distributions using their kernel should not permit unfair competition between video card manufacturers. This would make sense in the real world we live in. But this is not the case... Instead, the argument is over whether the video card manufactures are stealing the kernel developers property, when in fact the video driver manufactures are allowing the kernel manufactures to widely distribute the Linux kernel to the mass users... Without the video drivers no one could use the Linux kernel... It would be interesting to know which video driver each of the kernel developers use when they themselves do not permit the distribution of the video drivers..? Simon.

Hi, I am stuck with problem starting SuSE 10.1. The distro is a x86_64. The system required a WinXp 64bit dual boot :((. The Linux was pre-installed. After installing WinXp the boot loader required repairing in order to have XP in chain loading. After that is done successfully, I am unable to load GNOME though Failsafe GNOME is loading. The error is telling me that there was session crash after less than 10sec of previous load, and the error is written at ~/.xsession-errors it also suggested that after the error is fixed I can get the system back (no need to reinstall :) ). The said file has: --- paste start /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers -h -l :0 root /etc/X11/xim: Checking wether an input method should be started.

Cron reads more than /etc/crontab and the personal crontab files, it also reads /etc/cron.d/*, as explained in the 2nd paragraph of man cron. Joachim I double checked the man pages. I remember at one time there was a difference between the syntax for various types of crontab files, but this seems to have changed and this no longer seem to be the case if the 5 crontab man page is to be believed. /etc/cron.d seems to be rarely used by anything in SuSE , and seems to be a bit of an anomaly as its effective role is covered by /etc/crontab and the /etc/cron.time directories. I presume it is still there for standards related reasons. There also seems to a lack of clarity in the documentation about the default shell used, one part suggests that cron automatically selects /bin/sh but another that it is obtained from the user account settings... if the former is the case then the SHELL=/bin/sh statement in /etc/crontab is redundant unless this is what the statement means (the question then is do the entries in cron.d inherit the /etc/crontab settings?). If shell settings are inherited from the user account there should be no harm in adding the statement, just in case.

BTW According to the man pages growisofs/wodim always creates an iso structure to write data into (at least on DVD+RW media, as DVD- media are more geared towards multi-media streams they are not good for random data access and these are not pre-formatted, which is understandable for RO media but a possible issue with DVD-RW ), in the above case you have a binary image placed on an iso low level format if on DVD+RW. What you can do with it afterwards seems to be rather dependant on media and device capabilities, the best way you can look at it is that it seems to act as a buffered stream when writing, and an unbuffered data stream when reading.

My guess is that the files are around 350MB[0], which means you'd need at least 350-360 recovery blocks to rebuild a completely missing file. As long as only one file is broken, and you manage to recover more than a third of the data, there _should_ be enough to rebuild it. Well, I assume I would be able to recover a damage of less than 5%, ie, about 210MiB. If the damage affects only some sectors and I can read the damaged file with errors ignored (supposedly, dd_rescue does that), it should be repairable. And, in any case, it's better than nothing ;-) Also, my usual practice is to burn two copies on DVD (ie, 2 DVDs), so if a file is damaged I can probably recover it from the other copy. There are ways to reduce this problem, and the one I chose was to limit the size of files to 100MB[1]. That, combined with my using 535 blocks means I can have 5 completely unreadable files before I am unable to recover. And when I want to recombine the split files, I just use cat :-) A possibility, yes... [0] After rounding to the nearest MB: 4.35GB - 250MB = 4.1GB 4.1GB / 12 = 350MB Yes, your assumption is correct.

Thank you to all for all the information. With respect to altering the O/S Memory Management - I really cannot justify literally playing with an aspect of the O/S that requires a CPU to work out. At different stages in my working life I have to learn or understand the memory management from Main Frame O/S such as TFP/DB/UG to Netware to a very ugly M$ and now Linux. All you contributions have answered all my needs for understanding of the Linux O/S with respect to memory management - and I cannot forget its origin evolution/derivation from Zenix/Unix/Linux. In return I offer you an article I wrote for Techrepublic.com on M$ poor excuse for relying (in my opinion) far too heavily on swap files which it does poorly.It also touches on its horrific direct memory addressing, but does leave out file cacheing. Although the intended audience for the article was technical per say I was asked to re-write it several times and make the section on M$ Memory that is directly accessible by the poor old O/S I am now so very grateful I now use Linux, for many many reasons. Again Thanks to all Scott and good night 05:18 GMT +10 Quote The Good, the Bad and the poor overwork I/O subsystem Using the Hard Disk to simulate RAM, which is a long standing feature of Main Frame operating systems certainly has its advantages but ultimately will degrade performance. Having an application use virtual RAM means that there must be an increase in Disk I/O. The advantage is that the application will run and not run out of RAM but there is a balance. Firstly an application must perform a disk I/O to receive the program files in limited pieces and the more physical RAM the greater the amount of information that can be read from the Disk. (Theoretically) Now IF some of that RAM is a page file on the hard disk another Disk I/O is required to access the page file RAM. If the disk is already busy reading application files and now we increase its load by pagefile also creating a disk I/O there must be a point were the disk and O/S needs to decide which is more important. The decisions are 1. The disk I/O to read the application program files 2. The disk I/O to write back and simulate RAM to run the same application just read from Disk. Effectively, as you don't get anything for nothing, the dilemma is Are the Disk I/O's more busy reading the application program files than it is writing a disk I/O to simulate the RAM required to run the very same program. The problem that we face is always the amount of RAM that an application can directly access to process instructions - this is a constraint of the O/S. Just because you have 4 GIG of RAM does not mean that the O/S can directly address all 4 GIG. Quite the contrary. This is where our memory managers come into play. Lets say the O/S can only directly address the first 640K of RAM. What the memory manager does is load instructions into the registers of the 640K RAM - process those instructions and the memory manager then throws the result up into the rest of the RAM. When the result is needed again, to further process, it is dragged out of the upper RAM back down to conventional RAM and further processing can occur. A memory manager that allows the whole amount of RAM to be used is just like a juggler throwing thing up and fetching them back when needed. With the added facet of the pagefile once the physical RAM becomes full a Disk I/O is required. At some stage the O/S needs to make a decision. Is it better to devote more Disk I/O time to reading instructions OR does it utilise time to write an I/O to the page file. This is all managed by the O/S. Personally IF the PC has the max amount of physical RAM installed AND still requires a Disk I/O to simulate more RAM then we really need to think about the fundamental operation of the O/S. How much RAM can it directly address and how much RAM does it need to juggle in and then does it requires a page file as well - Personally then its time to re-write the O/S in its memory management and its directly addressable RAM to process and the amount of physical RAM used by the memory manager. Page file addressing should be a last resort by the O/S. Adding to an overworked disk I/O will slow things down ultimately, however the application will never fall over and you will never see the old out of memory error response which is the only advantage of such an arrangement. If you have multiple hard disks the best thing you can do is direct the temp variable (another story) and place the page file on a different disk than the disk containing the O/S. This will help the overworked disk I/O of the single disk but don't get excited yet – we then run into the bottle neck that is the I/O Bus speed which has nothing to do with the speed of the processor nor the speed of the RAM. Thank GOD for a 64 bit BUS. Next time you purchase a PC – just compare the BUS speed as this will ultimately constrain the total amount of I/O weather they come from the
