[opensuse-announce] Get Involved! Bug Slashing Weekend 11-12 August
So openSUSE 10.3 Beta 1 has now been released and it's looking great. A long-discussed topic on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] was the suggestion of having a Bug Slashing day or weekend. The aim of the weekend is to try to help developers and packagers by trying to clear up the Bugzilla, finding out which bugs need to be addressed, seeing if particular bugs can be reproduced and how, and where necessary seeing which open 10.2 bugs still apply to current Factory (10.3 Beta1). It's also the place to ask about a particular bug, or ask any other queries about whether you have found a bug. These days have run very successfully within other projects, so it's certainly time for us to give it a go too! It should be good fun all day (though of course showing up for any amount of time is good) and it's a great way to contribute and get directly involved. Here are the details: * Where: #opensuse-bugs on irc.freenode.net. For a general technical introduction to IRC (Internet Relay Chat) see http://www.irchelp.org/ * When: this weekend. 11-12, all day, all timezones. http://opensuse.org/Bug_Slashing will have more up-to-date news and information on bugs to address, bug handling techniques etc. nearer to the time. Hope to see you there and Have a Lot of fun! -- Francis Giannaros http://francis.giannaros.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-factory] some remarks on beta1 install
two general remarks: * the new dns writing sheme is not obvious. I missed the tag the first time. If fixed IP is selected, one should be asked for gateway/dns at install time (only) * The word download is used for any install source, including the dvd. so I could download release notes when no dns was present... this is confusing. one small problem: I use to install grub on the root partition (not the mbr). like this I can keep many distros on the same disk. I use old grub entry to boot the new 10.3 but the new disk sheme come on... and the kernel didn't recognise the hda6 (in fact (hd0.5) from grub). It kindly ask if it could go on and use the 6th partition of the new sheme, a very good and smart question... but the question was masked by the blue screen. It didn't seem to be waiting time. Something is to be done to be even more smart, not anybody likes to hit esc to see the boot detail... * I really don't like the blue screens, they are too much like the unfamous blue screen of death of the competitor :-((( jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-factory] YaST2 Control Center - icon order
Hello! Can someone tell me what file controls the order of Icons, the Text, and the texts of the bottom 'helpline'. I really don't like the order especially in the Software-Section as it looks to me very unordered, and the texts do not really take (new) users by the hand to quickly take the right actions. If I knew where the config for this is done, it would be easier to me to make suggestions that can't be misunderstood and I did not find it with some help of locate.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Alpha7 - first Impressions
Hello! I was waiting for beta1 before I took a closer look on the open issues of your answer. Because I'm not experienced in using bugzilla I also would like to get feedback, if my bugreports are helpful, or what I can change to help more. Stanislav Visnovsky schrieb: Hi! Thanks for the report! Dňa St 8. August 2007 02:01 Peter Buschbacher napísal: Hi all. This Weekend I gave Alpha7 a try, after reading Stephans workaround for the vmware-related bug. First of all I like the green theme for beeing colorful but unostentatious. Installation worked fine, just a black screen which was blinking with some boot-like messages while hardware-configuration made me a little unsecure. Yes, this is due to graphics card detection. But maybe that had something to do with the missing networkadapter, I addded to the vmx while pausing the installation. And I had no Problems with the most annoying bug. hd was recognized after first and later reboots. I used a 10G growable virtual disk, split into files (IDE 0:1)with xp as host. Clock is set to UTC. So the KDE clock does not show local time though in kontrolcenter Timezone is Berlin/Germany. Where should that behaviour be fixed? Then I wanted to test the softwaremanagement tools. Here I got opposed to some bugs or at least strange behaviour. 1. To me it´s not clear what's the concept of having two yast2-Modules doing nearly the same like Additional Product Repositories and Software Repositories. The new label says Community repositories. Is it better? Please diskuss better solutions with us at Bug 298884 - Yast Control Center Entry: Software/Community Repositories ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=298884 ) If the new one should help new users, they have to find this one first. Maybe it just needs a better name. - And the order of the Icons in Yast2 Control Center - Software seem quiet random to me in the moment.- That's something we might look into. Please, open a bug report. I asked for help in another thread of this list about where to find the config files that are responsible for the order of icons in Yast Control Center. Then I will make an enhancement request on this issue. For this purpose I like the solution of Kubuntu with an easy Installation Tool directly in the menu and the more powerful, less usable one in the system-undermenu. Anyway, at the moment the new Repo-Manager just did not add any repo when I tried. I don't understand. What do you mean by new Repo-Manager? I meant the module 'yast2 inst_productsources'. In fact it will be possible with this module to add the non-OSS repository before Installation. And if we think it should be first choice for newbies to use it also after installation instead of 'yast2 inst_sources' then the best would be everyone finds this one first. But I don't think we should do that. A standard task of a new user trying out linux will be adding complete multimedia-support. And that should be made as easy as possible. For this case the possibility to choose 'Community Repositories' alias 'yast2 inst_productsources' is just another trap for the user that does not help him for his task. By the way will it be possible to get guru or packman packages from the new one-click web interface? 2. After adding a factory repository (type:YAST) in the old Software Repositories-GUI I wanted to close the window, but it did not close. There were 3 minutes of busy mouse-cursor blinking before a popup message told me Building repository * cache. The progress bar stays at 0% for 4 more minutes then changes for a minute to 12% then window disappears. It should be the first priority to inform the user about a lengthy operation, and not to leave him alone with a roaring fan and a nervous mouse arrow. The missing progress issue is fixed in FACTORY now. This is indeed fixed in Beta1. But there are some more situations where I would like to have a quick first reaction from the system. E.g when I try to abort Yast2 while refreshing sources. Added Bug 299536 - Yast2 - Quick Feedback on clicking Abort https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299536 3. Software Management (yast2 sw_single): I'd like to have one permanent pop-up for all relevant messages during the start of sw_single. The blinking of dozens(?) of windows that I anyway can't read makes me nervous. I want the software to calm me down especially in case of error, and then give me some hint about what to do. Warning: There was an error in repository initialization doesn't meet that. I want to know which repo, ( what error,) and what I can do about it. I suggest to open bug reports for those 2 issues. Added Bug 299532 - yast2 software management - permanent pop-up for all relevant messages ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299532 ) Found Bug 298827 - sw_single: MediaException warning text is unhelpful ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=298827 ) By the way I like

Hi, I have previously posted this message describing problem with 8600GT and nVidia binary driver 100.14.03. Below I have included lspci and log information, which might be necessary to track down the problem. I have just assembled new PC with Intel Core2 Duo, Gigabyte m/b, Intel P35 Chipset, and Asus 8600GT/512MB PCIe video card.

I have replaced video card with MSI 8600GT, installed it into another PCIe slot, problem still exists. Strange enogh, since lspci DOES lists this video card.

So, shame on me for *this* specific disc, I'll trash it and retry as soon as I'm back at that PC a few hours from now. Lesson one: either DVD-R or DVD+R discs must NOT be formatted before burning, OK? Fact is, I came here in despair _after_ I had had some almost identical problems, which unfortunately I failed to write down, with other -R discs which I had not blanked so I am still pretty sure there is not only my own lack of sleep at work here. Which surely is present, I promise I will sleep and try to avoid dumb things like formatting -R discs after I've saved those files... Otherwise, the last time I came across this kind of issue was with a possibly flakey tape unit sharing the same cable as the the DVD unit. Inside this box (the motherboard is the one I said in the other message) there are only one sata disc and this burner Not sure if they are connected via the same cable. I believe they aren't because when I assembled it for the owner I remember it had plenty of connectors for just two drives, so it is very likely I put them on separate cables going to separate connectors/controllers on the board.

This distinction is extremely important. Badger your government about it, not those working on Linux multimedia, who have shown time and again that they can easily overcome any technical issues when not threatened by corporations and their legal teams. I do understand this. I'm not blaming people working on opensource multimedia -- they are the people who make it possible for me to view these videos! The problem is, that an average user coming from Windows does not (based on my experience) know anything about the whys and hows relating to video codecs on opensource platforms. If things won't just work out of the box or with the install of a media player, the said things become an issue. Most people have never even heard of video codecs in their life. They just start Windows Mediaplayer or whatever and open the video file, or as is often the case, the video source or file automatically opens the correct player. [snippage, see below] FWIW, a friend has an IBM ThinkPad, that came loaded with Windows 98. A couple of years ago, she upgraded to XP and found she could no longer play video DVDs. After some checking, we found that she has to buy the necessary software, from a web site that's very irritating and difficult to navigate through. She decided against providing her credit card info and went without DVD video playback. Another issue is when you install such things, you often get a load of crapware along with it. So, it is not always so easy for Windows users either. Right enough - I was surprised, when asked to support XP at work, that Media Player can actually cope with only quite a limited subset of formats in a default install. My boss had to pay to download some third party kit before he could even watch a commercial DVD. After that, he still kept encountering things that caused Media Player to offer to go online and download codecs, which it mostly failed to do successfully. So like James, I'm not at all sure Windows folk get the easy ride you mention. And despite my rigorous checking of the hardware of his PC, at least half the time real player knackers XP to the point where it has to be rebooted to get acceptable performance back.

I found a 10 monitor and a keyboard from someplace that had a shift key, but only produced upper-case keycodes. It must have been used with a teletype machine or something similar. Not being a programmer, certainly not in assembler, I built (with some trial and error, since I'm also not a digital but an RF engineer) a converter out of TTL logic to produce both upper and lower case characters under control of the shift key. The Big Board would take parallel keyboard input, as well as serial, so this was not too difficult to do. (Genuine serial k/b's usually only came as part of a terminal, which was pretty darned expensive back in the day.) In another aside, I found, with the help of another engineer who was experienced in video, that the BB was deficient in video bandwidth, so I figured out how to cure that, and wrote it up for the Micro-Cornucopia. They sent me a Tee-shirt, which I still have, marked AUTHOR. --doug That Cherry keyboard was unique. The standard keyboard keys had white key tops and all the other keys, function, number pad etc., had gray tops. There were almost as many gray as white keys. That keyboard was wired as two separate keyboards, each with it's own scanning matrix, in one physical package. The white keys were one keyboard and the gray keys the other. My encoder combined the two into one big keyboard, with the 8th bit used to signify which set of keys was in use. I used a 2716 EPROM to convert the scan codes to ASCII and I included auto repeat etc. It worked well. Some time after that, I was taking a digital logics course at Ryerson, in Toronto. One of the projects was to build a hex keyboard. I just showed the instructor what I had designed built and that was good enough to get full marks for the project. ;-) BTW, the only reason I took that course, was because it was a compulsory prerequisite for some other courses I wanted to take. There wasn't much I actually learned in it, though it was fun to play with the Commodore CBM we used to connect to some projects.

[opensuse] compress? uncompress? Why are they gone?
openSuse 10.2 2.6.18.8-0.5-default #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:17:53 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux Is compress/uncompress really not available in the distro? I went to install it and Yast Software Management won't show me any package that either provides or is named compress. Oddly, the man pages are installed. Yes, I know compress is a lame, old program. But, I'm working with some .Z files from a customer and the normally cooperative zcat objects to decompressing and displaying them. Can anyone tell me where to find current source for compress? I found a web site with some source labelled 4.3d from 1990.$@(#) compress.c,v 4.3d 90/01/18 03:00:00 Is this current?

[opensuse] Services start order affecting shutdown?
Hi, I have a machine that is cycled once a day. On the shutdown of the machine I notice that amavisd-new has to be given a KILL signal by the system after it fails to end after the system has given it a TERM signal. I am wondering whether my recent foray into Yast:System:System Services has something to do with it as I was having issues with ClamAv. I no longer have a problem with ClamAv and everything I disabled has been re-enabled but I am wondering if the order I did it in is important ie where there is a 'parent' and 'children' processes ie amavisd as a parent and Spamassassin, ClamAv are the child processes. Should the parent processes be started first or the child ones ie start amavisd before or after spamd and clam? Should I remember it like real life ie you can't have kids without parents so parents have to be started first?

[opensuse-packaging] Xinetd now honours disable line
Hi, Xinetd was patched to honour disable line in service configuration files (stored in /etc/xinetd.d). Xinetd now aborts parsing of the config file as soon as it reads the line disable = yes. This was made to prevent Xinetd from dropping warnings into logs which where not relevant. Futher information can be found at: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254613 Please, when you make updates of services which run under Xinetd, move the disable line to the beginning of the config file. For example file /etc/xinetd.d/echo: # default: off # description: An echo server. This is the tcp version. service echo { type= INTERNAL id = echo-stream socket_type = stream protocol= tcp user= root wait= no disable = yes FLAGS = IPv6 IPv4 } should be service echo { disable = yes type= INTERNAL id = echo-stream socket_type = stream protocol= tcp user= root wait= no FLAGS = IPv6 IPv4 } Thanks, Ales - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse-packaging] new packages announcment

[opensuse-packaging] Re: kernel-*.spec fixed strings are no fun
On Thu, 09 Aug 2007 21:34:31 +0200, Jan Engelhardt wrote: the kernel-*.spec files contain a lot of hardcoded strings, such as 2.6.22.1 for what's currently cooking. This causes a major pain when trying to bump the version by oneself. All occurrences need to be replaced by more-or-less blunt scripts (simple perl -pe 's///'), since the .in files are not available. If these could please be added to the kernel-source pack, that would greatly simplify work. Well, most of the scripts need direct access to our internal CVS server. So just putting them somewhere doesn't help. Although this is something I already have on my to-do list. Moreover, I think that strings, where possible, should be replaced by rpm tags. For example this obvious one: Provides: kernel = 2.6.22.1-%source_rel (and other places) this can easily be replaced by %version-%source_rel. The other major thing being Name: kernel-default (and other places of course) which could be replaced - since the macro is already there - by Name: kernel-%build_flavor Right, this is something that can be done in a shorter time frame I guess. I'll look into that. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-packaging] Next Milestones openSUSE 10.3
Hi! [resent to the packagers list as it's mostly for packagers] Just a heads up, so you don't need to read the roadmap all week :) Aug 17 (friday in one week): - translations are done and will be integrated into the packages, some might come late as we had trouble with translation process. - Last day for any kind of version updates and only possible for non-crypto leaf packages in patch level versions (e.g. 2.4.0 - 2.4.3) - The features that got a late admission approval need to be submitted unless they got an extended deadline (which should be just one if I remember correctly) We will only allow package splits if they are: a) strictly necessary b) not affecting any other package (include patterns) c) approved by me (or by Christoph in my absense) (can in rare cases overrule the other two rules) Aug 20 (monday after): - Last round of bugfixes that need to go into beta 2 Happy Bugfixing.
