It depends on the number of packages. For a normal maintenance update with only a handful of packages, download all is probably a good strategy. With distribution upgrade (i.e. 10.2-10.3) or factory update with hundreds of packages, you'll need quite some disk space ;-) I don't buy the disk space argument, that is easy enough to pre-determine before an upgrade, so I'm not sure why Yast doesn't operate this way. Whats the exit strategy if the disk space is not sufficient ? We probably do not want to code, debug, test and maintain two different strategies.

Do you evaluate extensions for repo priorities? Something like protectbase plugin for Yum? I've experienced some dependency issues with Packman repository, but Packman packager does not use Zypper as myself, he uses SmartPM (which can handle situations like that). I told him that openSUSE developers does not recommend SmartPM so he rebuild these packages in order to resolve conflicts. I think that feature would be very important for Zypper.

[opensuse-factory] OpenSuSE 10.3 with XEN and LVM
Hi, OK, it seems that OpenSuSE 10.3 still is a little bit beta so I try it here also. I'm trying to install OpenSuSE 10.3 on an old iP IV-HT with Intel 865G, SATA-HDD and PATA-DVD. I'm doing a new installation (no upgrade from 10.2 which was installed before), selected minimal graphical system, XFCE-desktop, Host-Server for XEN, Kernel-development and some others, selected for /boot, /, /usr, /var and swap the partitions I created with 10.2 and for /home the LVM-volume /dev/vg01/home I also made with 10.2! The installation is running through and mostly everything works fine IF I start with the default kernel. The only thing is, that I get only 55Hz refresh rate with X11, I tried several monitor-settings (Eizo FlexScan F563, VESA [EMAIL PROTECTED], VESA [EMAIL PROTECTED] and VESA [EMAIL PROTECTED] but I don't get more than 55Hz - for me it's not a big problem because I need X11 only for the first configuration, later I'll use ssh for everything else. I also recognized that the naming for the partitions in /etc/fstab changed from 10.2 to 10.3: /dev/sda1/boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6Y160M0_Y44AGXFE-part1 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 What is the reason for this? Are there any advantages or only the disadvantage that I can't just replace the harddrive after copying over all files? The BIG problem I have that the system does not boot with the XEN-kernel. During boot it tells me that one partition needs a manual fsck.ext3 and stops, checking the partition does not help but the default-kernel still boots without any problems :-( I was able to solve the problem by moving /home from the LVM-volume /dev/vg01/home to the root-partition /dev/sda7, but this is not a real solution. After doing so the system now starts, but I have several errors during the boot of the system: - boot.msg - Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.22.5-31-xen Loaded 24632 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.22.5-31-xen. Symbols match kernel version 2.6.22. No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not enabled. ... Starting irqbalance startproc: signal catched /usr/sbin/irqbalance: Segmentation fault failed ...

Failed services in runlevel 3: irq_balancer nscd portmap smartd Skipped services in runlevel 3: smbfs splash xendomains noticekillproc: kill(2134,3) - boot.msg - Anyway the system works more or less, I can start XFCE4 with 55Hz :-( and also the Virtualization within YaST. Next step would be the creation of a new VM using LVM-volumes for the PV-system and it's data, but if I want to add a new virtual harddisk I can't find ( ) use block-device (Block-Gerät verwenden) I had in my 10.2 installation :-( With OpenSuSE 10.2 all the above worked fine, but because the 10.3 comes with Xen 3.10 I really would prefer that if it would work!

[opensuse-factory] Firefox preview
My brother updated OpenSuSE 10.3 yesterday from 10.2. Installation told that his /boot partition is too small. We installed it anyhow and it seemed to work, but firefox print preview crashed the firefox. We assumed it was because of problems with update. Today I tried the preview on my own OpenSuSE 10.3, which is installed onto a clean system (I had had ext3 on 10.3 RC1, but I prefer xfs, so I formatted the disk). And yes, firefox crashes.

[opensuse] How to change font colors in GRUB graphic menu?
Hi, I changed the background GRUB image for 10.3 (green background is too unpleasant for me, maybe because I'm partially colorblind). But now special menu items (help, language and profile) are white on almost white background (there happened to be snow on my background image). Is it possible to change the font color for these menu items? I've seen a number of examples on the Net where gfxmenu command is used together with color in menu.lst. I tried it and it appears that color command only works for text mode menu and is ignored in graphical mode. Another small question (just curious): there are 2 files inside message image, lang and languages. In my setup lang contains en_US and languages contains just en. But for some reason the language menu on the GRUB screen indicates F2 - Language English (UK). I've seen it in 10.3 Beta 3 and now it happened again on GM installation. Actually both questions are related to how the menu is displayed in graphical mode.

If the location is taken it makes it more difficult (but not impossible) to hijack. No you can't, because linux will only allow you to mount things as a user when permission is explicitly given in fstab. Which means the worst they could do is remount the same resource If you think this is wrong, please give a concrete example of how it could be done What you say is true if you make the assumption that a workstation is used by a single person only, or network resource access requirements are fairly static on the workstation. /etc/fstab is a good secure mechanism for(workstation based) global resources allocation, and on a single user workstation can be used effectively for access to personalised networks resources as well. While it is there it is nearly impossible to break. There are other environments where the above assumption are not the case, and the /etc/fstab mechanism becomes inadequate. In an environment where people hotdesk rather than people being allocated their own machine in particular, one starts hitting a number of problems particularly in relation to cifs on *NIX (NFS does not really present a problem). If users have personalised resources on cifs shares the administrators life has the potential to get rather interesting in this scenario. Unless one wishes to create an /etc/fstab entry for every possible user of a workstation, which is a potential administrative nightmare with cifs (the maintenance of authentication credentials is a probable show stopper in its own right here), the immediate option is a /etc/fstab based configuration that could reduce administration by using a common home mount point and a mechanism to correctly mount the users resources at that point. However this does present a practical problem in that for this to work the user needs some sort of localised root access. One of Linux's strengths becomes a weakness in that for certain classes of activity one needs a level of access that exceeds that which strictly required. In effect one can find you have to break the security that the /etc/fstab mechanism provides by removing its protection in order to get this to work. In this situation another level of control is required to ensure that some changes are not allowed to happen, (or at least take effect). This is what I mean by there being a possible security issue. The obvious alternative approach of entering via a common server directory and using server access rights to limit visibility presents other issues in a mixed Windows/Linux environment. pam_mount on paper should deal with this issue for common connections. (it also does not require /etc/fstab entries according to the documentation), and is potentially a much neater way of handling a user login to a cifs share as a home directory and disconnecting when the user logs out. However, as at the moment I do not think it can deal with conditional mounts. so in a situation where a user has access to resources not only defined by who they are. but their role in the organisation, and where they are; this on its own is not a complete solution. (Fortunately few have to worry about this one). At the momemt AFAIK a network level of control is only an option with Windows based workstations running with AD or NDS. (IIRC Kerberos was part of the athena project to bring this together for *NIX world a couple of decades ago but to what extent it is now more than authentication mechanism I am uncertain about). In some ways it is fortunate that Samba is most often used to integrate *NIX server resources in a largely Windows environments at the moment. - -- == I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

[opensuse] How do I keep openSUSE secure?
Coming from Gentoo I wonder how do I keep openSUSE secure (e.g. for rootkits)?

How do I protect my system for rootkits when downloading rpm's from sites such as rpmbone? And my last question; where do I find security information for openSUSE?

[opensuse] Strange media player problem in 10.3
The Gstreamer engine for Amarok does not work for any of the users on my system so I downloaded all the xine parts off of packman so xine can have full media support, what is weird is my user account is the only user on my system that xine wants to work for. For all the other people that use this computer one of two things happen: 1. the Xine based media player does not load, 2. the media player freezes when told to do something. When trying to open a song, both mp3 and ogg, in Xine-ui and kaffine neather one of the media players open, and when I try to switch amarok to use the xine engine amarok freezes. Anyone know what might be causing this, or any work around for it that I can try?

[opensuse] Antialiasing settings don't affect Firefox
Firefox don't reflect any changes I make in antialiasing settings. Everyone can make a little experiment. Close Firefox, go to Computer - Control Center - Appearance - Fonts and set rendering type to Monochrome (GNOME). System immediately responds and change can be seen for example on the gnome panel. Now start Firefox and you will see, that it still use old settings (fonts are antialiased). In Ubuntu this behaves as expected, that means antiliasing is disabled in Firefox. This is just an example, I don't want to disable antialiasing in Firefox, I want to change the font rendering. But this experiment shows us, that Firefox ignores the system settings. I compared mozconfig in Ubuntu and OpenSUSE and there are few differences - in OpenSUSE Firefox is build static. Can be this the reason for this behaviour? I tried to rpmbuild static Firefox (removed lines 'ac_add_options --enable-static', 'ac_add_options --disable-shared' and added lines 'ac_add_options --enable-shared', 'ac_add_options --disable-static' in the spec file), but the compilation is failing: c++ -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wconversion -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -pedantic -O2 -g -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Os -fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-protector -fshort-wchar -pthread -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -O2 -g -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Os -fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-protector -fPIC -shared -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,-h,libgklayout.so -o libgklayout.so nsLayoutModule.o nsContentHTTPStartup.o nsContentDLF.o nsLayoutStatics.o -Wl,--whole-archive ../../dist/lib/libgkbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkgeneric_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkforms_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkstyle_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkprinting_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgktable_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkxulbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconcvs_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconevents_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconhtmlcon_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconhtmldoc_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconxmlcon_s.a .. /../dist/lib/libgkconxmldoc_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconxbl_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconxulcon_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconxuldoc_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkview_s.a ../../dist/lib/libjsdombase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libjsdomevents_s.a ../../dist/lib/libjsurl_s.a ../../dist/lib/libjsdomstorage_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkxultree_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkxulgrid_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconxultmpl_s.a ../../dist/lib/libinspector_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkmathmlcon_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkmathmlbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkcontentxtf_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkxtfbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgksvgbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconsvgdoc_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkcontentsvg_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgksvgrenderercairo_s.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -L../../dist/bin -L../../dist/lib -lgkgfx ../../dist/lib/libunicharutil_s.a -L../../dist/bin -lxpcom -lxpcom_core -L../../dist/bin -L/usr/lib64 -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl -L../../dist/bin -lmozjs -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2 .0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0-lcairo-Wl,--version-script -Wl,../../build/unix/gnu-ld-scripts/components-version-script -Wl,-Bsymbolic -ldl -lm ../../dist/lib/libgkconcvs_s.a(nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.o): In function `nsCanvasRenderingContext2D::Destroy()': /home/ignor/rpm/BUILD/mozilla/content/canvas/src/nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:568: undefined reference to `XFreePixmap' ../../dist/lib/libgkconcvs_s.a(nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.o): In function `nsCanvasRenderingContext2D::SetDimensions(int, int)': /home/ignor/rpm/BUILD/mozilla/content/canvas/src/nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:814: undefined reference to `XRenderFindStandardFormat' /home/ignor/rpm/BUILD/mozilla/content/canvas/src/nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:817: undefined reference to `XListPixmapFormats' /home/ignor/rpm/BUILD/mozilla/content/canvas/src/nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:824: undefined reference to `XFree' /home/ignor/rpm/BUILD/mozilla/content/canvas/src/nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:829: undefined reference to `XCreatePixmap' When I add -lX11 -lXrender, then the command passes, but there are also another problems, so the compilation fails later. I'm not as experienced to fix it. So my question is what to do to force Firefox to respect the system settings of antialiasing? I'm trying to solve this, because there are pages, where fonts look really ugly to me - for example http://www.abclinuxu.cz/images/screenshots/2/9/98392-nepublikovat--48272.png compare this with screenshot taken in Ubuntu (http://www.abclinuxu.cz/images/screenshots/2/9/98392-nepublikovat--48270.png). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, the 'duplicate column' errors come from mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql and are in fact harmless (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/228248 , fixed in 10.3). However, it seems that the init script thinks that something failed during the upgrade :-(. Could you try # touch /var/lib/mysql/.run-mysql_upgrade # rcmysql restart ?

[opensuse] gnome in OpenSUSE 10.3. at-spi problem.
Hello all, Could someone help me with some testing please? Or, even better, could someone suggest a solution? I am using OpenSUSE 10.3 with Gnome. I've downloaded and installed from CD. When I install, the first thing I do when everything is up and running and I'm on the desktop is run Orca. This is a screen reader that enables people like me who are blind to access the graphical desktop. Like aexpected, it's configuration wizzard is launched and after answering a few questions, I am prompted to log out in order to enable gnome's accessibility support. So, I log out and back in again but I'm told that either at-spi is not working correctly or it is not installed. Sure enough, when I look, at-spi isn't on the system. No worries, I just install it using Yast. Now, the message is not shown any more. I try to ensure accessibility support is enabled using the assistive technologies preferences but I get a message saying that the gnome settings manager is not installed. There is no package under this title but I find a work around using the another package. Sorry, I don't remember it's name at the moment. Now however, although assistive software is enabled in Gnome, Orca is still not reading controls that implement at-spi. I can only assume that something in Gnome is not referencing at-spi correctly. Do any of you have any suggestions? Could you try the following? 1. start gnome. 2. Start orca. press alt f2 and type orca. 3. follow the wizzard. I usually just answer no to all it's questions except the last one asking if it should log out as this is necessary. 3. After logging out and back in again, note any errors you get. 4. Launch orca again. 5. In orca's main window you will see two buttons. tab will navigate the focus between each button and when orca is running it should speak the highlighted text as you land on it. If however your system behaves like this one, orca will not speak at all. Could you let me know if you experience this? Any idea how I can get Gnome behaving as it should? Thanks in advance.
