[opensuse-factory] Integration of external repositories

A week later, it starts all over, with a different topic. Come on. It was the opensuse list, now here... Whats next, alexey? Yes, I request additions of packages, but it is due to lack of some features in openSUSE. Hope someday I will learn to build them myself, but I'm not close to doing that... The next thing huh... will be another missing feature I guess :) On my side, I do a job of documenting those features, as you may find here: http://forgeftp.novell.com/lfl/.html/ Yes, I have big interest of improving virtualization at different levels. I understand virtualization well. Xen is just one of the options, and in my opinion not the best one. More diversity for different needs would be good.

After trying to restore the grub with a boot cd from OSS 10.2 beta (I do'nt has any cd of OSS 10.3 alpha), and it replaced the actual kernel 2.6.22 with the 2.6.18, and it do'nt work. How can I create the initrd and the modules.dep files for the kernel 2.6.22 (OSS 10.3 alpha5) without his cd boot? One initrd file was created using the restoring option with a cd of OSS 10.2 beta2, but I do'nt know if it's right. The modules.dep file is created by depmod. Use depmod 2.6.22 (I guess it's 2.6.22-default or something like this, it must be the name of the /lib/module/2.6.22* directory to create a module dependency file for that kernel version. The initrd is generated using the 'mkinitrd' script. Yes, I know those commands, but it only work right if the system was booted with a kernel installed on it. I do'nt know how to execute it if boot from a cd in rescue mode (I do'nt has any cd of OSS 10.3 alpha). The right way, I mean is download the iso from first cd of OSS 10.3 alpha 5, burning it and make the restoration of the system booting from it, but now mi adsl do'nt works (thanks to Timofonica). Then I asked if someone can send me the modules.dep from an x86 system. The exact version of the kernel is 2.6.22-rc4-git6-2-default.

Carlos E. R. wrote: The thing is that SA comes with many rules enabled by default whose policies I don't even know, and which sometimes I came to strongly distrust and disable - after the damage. I think there is a small problem of expectation-setting here. To a large extent, people expect SA to come all ready to go. Just turn it on, and voila you're free of (most) spam. But with e.g. postfix and smartd we don't have the same expectations - we know that some setup is required before postfix will behave as our mail-server and before smartd will do some SMART monitoring for us. The thing with SA is that its ruleset is large and complex and not very transparent, which tends to scare people away and into thinking it's probably allright as it is. And the SuSE/Novell folks don't seem to do a good review of those rules. They cannot and they shouldn't have to. Overall, that is the responsibility of the SA folks, but SA has to be individually configured/optimised to max its performance. No, I meant the www.bondedsender.org people, they have an email for reports ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). But I'm not a client of them, I don't know who is the sender, etc. Too many doubts, and reading their site I'm not clear on them. Yes, I agree, it's confusing. I also don't like that they talk in probabilities, about number of complaints per mail sent etc. Which is why I have score RCVD_IN_BSP_TRUSTED 0 in my SA config. You can't really blame SA for this one - it probably is fairly reasonable to trust the bonded-sender guys. I don't know. In fact, I don't think so. Then you should simply disable the rule like I have. Nonetheless, I still think it is _reasonable_ to trust them, but in my case I chose not to. Using the BSP rule is a matter of avoiding false-positives and I don't think the BSP rule does that very well. How can SA (or any program) know that the received lines it is examining are true, ie, real and not faked? The bonded sender people may say that monopost.com people are reliable, but can we know (automatically, ie, by a program) that the email really came from their servers? You can always tell where an email came from. The headers are written by your email-program and it knows which client delivered the email. Whether you can trust the rets of the path is another question. But SA is pretty good at checking the emails headers and finding inconsistencies. RCVD_IN_WHOIS* - as far as I'm concerned, the completeWhois people can't be depended on to deliver quality data, Every server should be in whois, no? The good and the bad. It must be something else. Well, in some cases I have had reports of invalid IP although it had a perfectly good whois report.

[opensuse] Announcing Hack Week
Hi everyone, At Novell we've been planning a special internal event that will run this week, from June 25th to 29th. We're calling it Hack Week. During Hack Week, our entire Linux engineering team -- hundreds of people -- will be working on whatever Linux or open source projects interest them. Everyone will work alone or in teams, on existing open source projects or new ideas of their own. No one will tell them what or what not to do -- it's a free week for free hacking, driven by individual passion. To make it easier for our hackers to find and publicize their projects, we've created an Idea Pool web site where we've all spent the last couple of weeks sharing ideas and finding collaborators. This web site is open to the public here: http://idea.opensuse.org/ Although this is a Novell event, we're running it with full transparency. You'll be able to follow our progress and projects on the Idea Pool web site, either with the blog on the front page where we'll post videos from our seven main engineering sites[1], or by watching individual project pages. We invite you to participate where you can. If you'd like to help with a project, feel free to add a comment to the discussion section of the page and volunteer your support. We hope that you'll at least enjoy watching Hack Week progress. If it is successful, we hope to run it again sometime soon, with even more participation from the community. If you're interested in following along, you might check the following sites first: - Hack Week Overview: http://idea.opensuse.org/content/hackweek - Tags: http://idea.opensuse.org/content/blog/welcome-to-the-idea-pool - Idea Pool code of conduct: http://idea.opensuse.org/content/etiquette - Flickr pool: http://www.flickr.com/groups/hackweek/pool/ During the week, we'll use the channel #opensuse-hackweek on irc.freenode.net for general discussion (project-specific discussion will find its own venue).

I mean, I know where it should be, but it is not there: right click on the destop, properties dialog, configuration, advanced. Adaptor: VMware SVGA II. Monitor: predetermined. I see no frequency drop list. Perhaps I should change the monitor, but which one should I choose? [...] I'll try flat digital panel display... ah, better, now I see optimal and predetermined. Testing... ok, now windows full screen mode uses 56 Hz (I have it at 800*600), but on going back to linux vmware sets 70 Hz, which doesn't work well with my TFT. So, the virtual machine config is not the problem; the problem is that vmware thinks I want 70 Hz. Nevertheless, I wonder, what you are doing (no offense intended). If you are using a CRT, 70Hz is by todays standards, way to low for any length of time sitting in front of this. You will do your eyes a favour If you set it to (at least) 85Hz. If you are using a TFT, then 60hz is what you need for optimum display quality. That's the case, it is a cheap TFT and though it can display at 70 Hz it doesn't do so well in Linux: the image is uncentered, and autocenter pushes it half way out of the screen and somewhat fuzzy letters. I really need to use 60 Hz (and it is way easier on my eyes that my big CRT at 85Hz). Perhaps the problem can be handled different: how to tell /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use a certain frequency instead of the higher one. [...] Yes, it works. I changed: Section Monitor # --- Monitor Proview (TFT) --- # VertRefresh 50-75 to: VertRefresh 50-65 and it works.

[opensuse] suse10.2 system crash
I have been plagued by system crashes and I think they have come about since I updated a number of programs. The system freezes and I end up having to shut down. On recovery I usually go through the `rescue' and e2fsck -fvy or -cfvy. Most of the time there misplaced/orphan inodes and the `FILE SYSTEM IS MODIFIED'. 1. I used the *.rpm from the suse 10.2 list to update. 2. I used the *.rpm from `stable test' for both the new samba and OpenOffice2 files. 3. I also installed the scrot program mentioned in July Linux Mag. I haven't been able to pin down any one culprit and I was wondering if any one was experiencing the system crash and what program[s] they might have recently added?
