From the system that our folks used for building the deltas :-( -

 We modularized ext2

 Why?

The kernel configure option for ext2 in 10.1 is:
zgrep EXT2 /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y

And in 10.2:
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=m

And that's all I meant with modularize.

So, this means that those users that do not use ext2 as file system
do not have to load the file system at all, it's an external module.

 Hi,

 When I installed Beta1, Beta2 and now RC1 the installer keeps indicating 
 that none of the packages from the non-OSS add-on CD are newer than 
 what's installed.

 Is that actually true? If so, why are new disc images released every 
 time? If not, why don't the updates register? I use the YaST 
 Installation Source to refresh from the new disc each time.


I just checked, beta2 had:
acroread-7.0.8-17.i586.rpm
flash-player-7.0.68.0-12.i586.rpm

and RC1 has:
acroread-7.0.8-21.i586.rpm
flash-player-7.0.68.0-15.i586.rpm

So, there's at least a difference - but we did not change them

 The fix is to back up to the menu choice that allows loading IDE drivers

Why is this so? Why did the Language got removed? Up to the versions
beofre RC1, we had them. Do you now expect people of non-tier-1 to get a
DVD AND a CD?
  
Somewhere it was stated, that 85% of downloads belong to tier-1 
languages, so it seems to be a logical decision for the download 
version. What I could not find an answer for: will the DVD9 in the box 
include tier-2 languages? I mean, here in Hungary many people bought 
boxed SUSE, as it had full support for Hungarian... Bye,

[opensuse-factory] boot screen fun wiht RC1

2006-11-24 Thread Jens Herden
Hi,

I just installed RC1 fresh and observed some points at the boot screen of the 
bootloader I want to share.

1. I have had a broken display when I opened the language menu in beta2, this 
was fixed in RC1 :-)

2. I got a penguin running around. Nice but destructive, the painting is 
destroying the language menu when the penguin is running over it. Just a 
little ugly. You may need to know that my screen is detected as 800x600, if 
your screen is bigger you might not see this.

3. I could not find a way to add boot parameter anymore. Was this removed? I 
usually add a vga=0x305 because the installer is not detecting my screen. 

4. After the installation the language menu is broken. I have installed 
openSuse in English only and I was expecting a menu entry English but I 
got en. 

I any of this worse a bug report?

Strange, I did exactly this, why do you think I have a wrong image? The md5sum 
of my beta2 image was correct. So the problem is that the people who made the 
delta used the wrong base. 

Maybe you get confused with the different AddOn CDs. I am talking here about 
Addon-Lang, what you said might be about Addon-BiArch? There was indeed 
another problem.

Nope, as long as you plan to have the / partition formatted as ext3
(or ext2) during installation you will run into bug 220200 which is
fixed for GM only. And this bug could mean doubling or even tripling the

Hardly. The 'extimation' is done by timing actual package installs - thats
why you don't get a time estimation during the first couple of packages.

Time to install a package is influenced by
- reading from CD/DVD/Network
- unpacking the RPM
- writing to disk
- running pre/post scripts

So its almost guaranteed to be somewhat wrong - always ;-)

Yes, but it would be better to be wrong the other way round. So saying it

So how about my next bug:
If you start the installation source module without internet connection, YaST 
checks for each source, if it's available and prompts for OK, Cancel, Skip.

If you choose Skip, YaST asks, if it should remove the installation source 
immediately. If you choose here No (for not removing) the installation 
source does not show up anymore.

YaST does not remove the source indeed, but as it does not show up, most users 
may think, that it did so. If you have several sources set up, this might be 
_very_ annoying.

In the factory tree, there is 2.9.0.2 available.

Can we expect that at least 2.9.1.1 will be in 10.2 too? Or would you
like this filed in bugzilla for tracking?

__

1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion

   The phpMyAdmin package was upgraded to version 2.9.1.1.

   While we usually do not do version upgrades, fixing the occurring
   security problems of phpMyAdmin got too difficult so we decided to
   go with the current upstream version.

   This release includes fixes for the previously not fixed security
problems
   tracked by the Mitre CVE IDs CVE-2006-3388, CVE-2006-5116,
CVE-2006-5117,
   and CVE-2006-5718 and of course all other bugs fixed in 2.9.1.1.

2) Solution or Work-Around

   There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.

3) Special Instructions and Notes

   None.

4) Package Location and Checksums

   The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the
YaST
   Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required
and
   automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install
them.
   Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution
manually
   and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of
this
   announcement. Then install the packages using the command

 rpm -Fhv file.rpm

   to apply the update, replacing file.rpm with the filename of the
   downloaded RPM package.

6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information

  - Announcement authenticity verification:

SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on
Web
sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security
announcement is
guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All
SUSE
security announcements are published with a valid signature.

To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a
file
and run the command

  gpg --verify file

replacing file with the name of the file where you saved the
announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like:

  gpg: Signature made DATE using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
  gpg: Good signature from SuSE Security Team [EMAIL PROTECTED]

where DATE is replaced by the date the document was signed.

If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you
can
import it from the first installation 

[opensuse-factory] zmd not running

2006-11-24 Thread Silviu Marin-Caea
That's what zmd-updater says, but it turns out that zmd-daemon is actually 
running:

rczmd status
Checking for ZENworks Management Daemon: running

ps ax | grep zmd
 3140 ?SNsl   0:01 zmd /usr/lib/zmd/zmd.exe

I have a fresh RC1 installation.

Right after installation there were 2 identical icons with zmd-updater.

After reboot, there's only one icon, but I get zmd not running.

The update system so much needs to _just work_ this time around.

I'll look into bugzilla and file blockers if necessary.

 Can't you create a new delta iso which works against the version that is 
 on the server (and gives as a result the RC1 that is on the server)?

We tried that - but something was different from the MD5SUMS that were
reported in this thread.  I'm removing it now completely to be on the
safe side :-(

After the Beta2 problems with the ISOs (and this is a fallout from
that), I've written some more scripts so this should not happen
again.  Sorry, our fault :-(

[opensuse-factory] Installation source handling in 10.3

2006-11-24 Thread Marcel Hilzinger
Just a proposal for 10.3, as for 10.2 it's too late anyway:

I think the installation source module should not fetch any other data then 
the source name. It should just put the right info on the right place, like 
editing /etc/apt/sources.list or a file in /etc/yum/yum.d.repos/

Why? With the current solution, each time you launch the installation source 
module metadata is fetched. Most of us probably never need this metadata to 
add a new source. I even doubt, that the module itsef needs this data.

If you start the Package Manager after the installation source module, the 
same data is fetched again. So Suse does 2x the work, which would be needed 
actually to perform an installation from a new source.

This is wrong and we want to fix this for 10.3.
Downloading (resp. refreshing) repository metadata should not be done
when starting a software managment application.

[opensuse-factory] RFC: Directory structure for ftp tree of openSUSE 10.2

2006-11-24 Thread Andreas Jaeger

I've thought a bit about how to structure - and name - the directories
for openSUSE 10.2 and like to get your feedback and suggestions for
improvement.

Goals
=

My goals with the restructuring are:
* Clear naming - no misunderstandings
* Smaller repositories for faster metadata download
* structure should be usable for 10.3 Alphas und final again

Separate trees
==

We have several ftp trees (for 10.1: OSS and Non-OSS) and I propose to
make smaller repositories for faster download of metadata:

* OSS (factory)
* NON-OSS (factory-extra)
* Debug (factory-debug)
* Sources for OSS
* Sources for NON-OSS

Naming
==
* let's use repository instead of catalog, inst-source etc.

FTP Structure
=

.../distribution/openSUSE-10.2 has the following subdirectories:
* isos
* repositories

isos directory has the following subdirectories:
* dvd - the DVD5
* deltas
* non-oss
* oss
* torrents 

repositories sdirectory has the following subdirectories:
* debug
* non-oss
* oss
* source-non-oss - just sources
* source-oss - just sources

Does this make sense?  Do you have better ideas?

  Silviu,
 
  I have seen something similiar (not exactly, as I didn't go for RC1
  yet). it seems ZMD is locking the replies while doing a refresh.
  For example, before sqlite-zmd was introduced, you could do a rug
  refresh and a rug lu in a second terminal. rug lu gave immediate
  response (whith old data).
 
  now, rug lu waits for rug refresh to finish.
 
  Probably zen-updater is waiting for zmd to finish the refresh
 
 Yes, there was some work done to make ZMD more thread-safe.
 

Stano,

as far as I followed the bug report about this issue, zmd was not really done 
more 'thread safe' yet. Solely the sqlite db for zmd was downgraded to 3.2.8 
instead of the distribution wide installed 3.3 (sqlite-zmd was added)

This work is still to be done I guess :-)

[opensuse-factory] New openSUSE WIKI Document: YaST Remote Logging in Installation

2006-11-24 Thread Lukas Ocilka
Hi,

I've just finished a new document about YaST Remote Logging in Installation.

It uses another computer with a configured NFS server to store
installation logs on it to simplify getting YaST logs, for debugging
falling installation (e.g., SEGFAULTs) and/or to minimize memory
requirements during the installation.

Please, test it and/or make it better :)
Thanks

this directory directly. You have to go inside and pick one.

 Maybe also one level higher - dist for distribution.

I would like to avoid a change here, it would cause too much pain for the 
mirrors. (and I personally think longer names are better than short ones for 
most users, who are not famillar with the structure).

[opensuse-factory] No sound in RC1

2006-11-24 Thread Basil Chupin
Am I doing something wrong or is this a known problem in 10.2 (RC1)? It 
was also in Beta 2 but I didn't pay too much attention to it because I 
wasn't trying out the multimedia features.


While I have the sound card configured correctly and I do get sound on 
boot and shutdown, I have no sound when using kradio or kdetv.


Is this a bug or is there something which needs a tweak (or a kick up 
the ..)?


Cheers.

It does not take longer time to get a sense for a shorter word.
But directory listings have a chance to be readable and submitting URLs 
has a chance not to get broken if the path names are short.

the length of 

/pub/opensuse/distribution/openSUSE-10.2/repositories/source-non-oss/

already is really crazy and a pain for everyone who needs to spell or 
type it - a full line already, and still missing protocol prefix,

/pub/suse/i386/9.3/ was a good path naming and length.

 /pub/suse/i386/9.3/ was a good path naming and length.

I prefer shorter names as well.  I always seem to have problems typing in

I really like the names for the 9.X series.  I would really like to see
the names shortend.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Tier-2 languages in RC1

2006-11-24 Thread Andreas Jaeger

Michael and myself discussed this a bit further and asked our build
experts to experiment a bit - and those first experiments are positive
enough that I'm confident to tell you about them ;-).

We're planning to put all languages that have according to the
translation statistics page (http://i18n.opensuse.org/stats/index.php)
more than 98 % translated to the media.  Note this is the translation
status for YaST and software provided by the openSUSE project and
Novell folks, it does not include translation status of e.g. GNOME,
KDE or OpenOffice.Org.

We're working on the details on how exactly to do this - just DVD or
also CDs (in that case on CD4+5) - but we're trying to do what can be
done.

So, this means that the following languages should get on the media -
in addition to the existing ones:
* Danish (100 %)
* Finnish (100 %)
* Hungarian (100 %)
* Cambodian (99 %)
* Norwegian (99 %)
* Dutch (98 %)
* Polish (99 %)

I'm impressed with the level of translation that these teams have
done!

Note: We master on monday an internal RC2 and will check that
everything really fits on the media.  Our constraints are the space on
the CDs and that the DVD5 should not be larger than 4 GB.

I hope that's an acceptable solution for all,
Andreas

  Just a proposal for 10.3, as for 10.2 it's too late anyway:
 
  I think the installation source module should not fetch any other data
  then the source name. It should just put the right info on the right
  place, like editing /etc/apt/sources.list or a file in
  /etc/yum/yum.d.repos/

 When adding a repository, retrieving the metadata is the right thing
 to do to detect problems. If you start to download metadata when starting
 a package manager, errors will be quite confusing.

But why 90% of all package managers work the other way? With apt, smart, yum 
adding a source needs no internet connection and it's a matter of a second. 
Metadata is only loaded, when you want to install something.  I don't see, 
why the YaST solution would be better, but feel free to convince me ;-)


  Why? With the current solution, each time you launch the installation
  source module metadata is fetched.

 This is wrong and we want to fix this for 10.3.
 Downloading (resp. refreshing) repository metadata should not be done
 when starting a software managment application.

usually the output of your radio/tv card goes to the line-in of your

I just think that getting a 'repository not available' error (due to

adding of the repo.

There are no technical reasons for one way or the other.

  Hi,
 
  When I installed Beta1, Beta2 and now RC1 the installer keeps
  indicating that none of the packages from the non-OSS add-on CD

  Is that actually true? If so, why are new disc images released
  every time? If not, why don't the updates register? I use the YaST
  Installation Source to refresh from the new disc each time.
 
  I just checked, beta2 had:
  acroread-7.0.8-17.i586.rpm
  flash-player-7.0.68.0-12.i586.rpm
 
  and RC1 has:
  acroread-7.0.8-21.i586.rpm
  flash-player-7.0.68.0-15.i586.rpm

 Those are the versions currently installed. Could the installer have 
 found the non-OSS CD that was in the second drive while I was 
 installing from the RC1 DVD? I didn't explicitly refer to the add-on CD 
 during the upgrade installation process.

The DVD contains the non-OSS CD already.  So, you have the packages on
*both* media.


 The same thing happend when I upgraded from beta1 to beta2.


  So, there's at least a difference - but we did not change them
  otherwise, it's just a build number increase.  You should get those
  reinstalled - please investigate and consider filing a bugreport,

 From which media are you installing?  CD or DVD?

 There's an add-ons DVD? I installed the OSS from the DVD made by 
 applying the delta ISO image to the Beta2 (as my previous message about 
 the torrent URLs mentioned).

The DVD contains the 5 CDs plus the non-OSS Addon.

There's only this one DVD,

Those will be - and have been during the beta phase - on the Language
Addon media.  This is a step forward since you now can install them
via CD - with 10.1 for example some files were only available via ftp,



Oh yes, who knows better how to use addons than translator of yast modules ;)
Sorry for previous mess but the policy was really unclear for me when
starting this conversation. Otherways, maybe 98% is too hard limit?
I'd think that 99% of users will ever see ~80% of messages. In OO.o we
have limit for including at 80% translated UI messages and I find it
quite fair, as there is hard to find eg. Basic and database
translators and - dominating part of users don't use these modules. In
OpenSuSE base system translation things can be even worse - it stops
not for only due missing competent translators but also due missing
terminology, and here we need time to discuss and find solutions
together with terminology 'owners' ;)

[opensuse-factory] UPS monitoring

2006-11-24 Thread Andras Mantia
Hi,

 What was the reason of dropping any kind of UPS monitoring tool from 
SUSE? IIRC nut (http://www.networkupstools.org/) was included in 
earlier releases, but I cannot find in 10.2. I'm not sure about 10.1, 
if it had or not.

[opensuse-factory] congratulations...

2006-11-24 Thread jdd
I want to congratulate the openSUSE 10.2 developpers, 
because I'm on the way of installing the RC1 on a very low 
end machine


http://fr.opensuse.org/Utilisateur:Jdd/alb/La_Mouette

on this computer I could install 10.0 but not 10.1. The 
install, there, stopped at the partitionning part. This one 
is critical because no swap can be used when partitionning a 
hard drive :-)


today, I didn't repartitioned the computer, but reformat a 
partition with ext3 and all went well, quite fast and the 
minimal install is going and sheduled to run a little more 
than one hour, what is quite good on such hardware


I will have to use cd 2 and 3, but probably because i'm french

of course, I had to trick the install - cd don't boot, so 
first copy linux and initrd (this is a really wonderfull 
trick) on the HD, textmode=1 on the grub kernel line...


I want to enphasize on this because we have now a lot of 
outdated computer that are in perfect condition nearly for free.


In France, a lot of people don't have money to run new 
hardware and we are many to fear the social gap between 
people with internet access and people without.


In the whole world, much more people are in the same situation.

So having a recent system able to run on such kind of 
hardware is a real gift (don't even think running Vista on 
this).


and don't forget that those people may rule the world in few 
years... let alone by they number.


thanks again for me and all of them
jdd

[opensuse-factory] xen

2006-11-24 Thread Hans Witvliet
Im not sure i would call it a feature, let even alone enter it into
bugzilla..

With B2, selecting minimal, text only PLUS XEN
== kernel-xen got selected and installed ==

However, the grub-menu was not extended.

re-installing kernel-xen (Uvh) did no good.
while forcing kernel-xen from yast did append the xen-section into grub,
and making it even the default option (thanks for that change!!)

[opensuse-factory] grub timeout

2006-11-24 Thread Hans Witvliet
Did anybody notice that the default timeout of eight seconds disapeared
from grub?

I had to add that line over three times now
After booting it just waits in the grub menu.

[opensuse-factory] selections/threads/add-ons

2006-11-24 Thread Hans Witvliet
Hi all,

just went through the xml file intended for cloning a system.
One thing struck me.

Before the change from selections=threads, i had a simple selection,
with a couple of add-ons.

Now i get a thread with dozens add-ons.

Intended, or side-effect?

Hans.

[opensuse-factory] default packages

2006-11-24 Thread Hans Witvliet
Perhaps i should enter it as a requested enhancement ;-)

When wanting a bare minimal system, (by selecting text-mode only)
i expect a real-minimum, however

I find a lot of packages installed, which might be very nice and
helpfull, but i did not select them. they are in three catagories:

a) nice be not requested:
like tcpdump.
This is something a often select, but it should be included into the
catagorie of power-tools for experienced users, not default.

b) not wanted.
If i want printing, i will select them:
cups, cups-drivers, cups-libs, gutenberg, yats2-print should belong to a
sub-thread

c) waste of time/disk space
hardware scan should know what kind of hardware there is.
Why of why is yast2-scanner, yast2-irda, xfs-tools, dos-stuff
installed

My MOBO does not have a sound-card: so why do i get alsa?
(new sound-thread)


All of these packages are probaly nice for some people to have.
But there are also lots of people who don't need them.

Reasoning is this.
Either if i select a packages manually, or it it gets installed by
default, i have to claryfy its presence with an security officer.
Same if its gets installed by default, i i decide to get rid of it.


I rather have it not installed unless the it is really needed,

Hans

There was a bug that was marked as fixed, so it should have worked.
Please file a new bug with log files.
