Hi:
I'm sorry Juan,but using beta1,beta2 and now beta3 I have no problem
with audacity,amule or rpmdb...I only use 32 bits system.It's possible
the problem only appears on 64 bits system using 32 bits programs...

In my system with the last update of factory (comes from beta 1 the
problem) all applications based on wxGTK (such as audacity or amule)
fail in 32 or 64 bits when I try to save a file.
For example for audacity I got with ddd in 32 bits kde version:

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
[Switching to Thread 0xb678f6d0 (LWP 16176)]
0xe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()

#2  0xb7250121 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6
#3  0xb728b41b in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6
#4  0x in ?? ()

For example for amule I got with ddd in 32 bits kde version:

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
[Switching to Thread 0xb6c76a00 (LWP 16283)]
0xe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
(gdb)
No source file named 0.0.0.0.
(gdb) bt

#2  0xb773d121 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6
#3  0xb777841b in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6
#4  0x in ?? ()

Other problem appeared in the 32 bits kde version (updated from 10.2),
is the frequent crash of the rpmdb. This problem not appear in the
same system with the 64 bits version and a fresh install of 10.3 beta
2 X86-64 kde.

I mean that the problem with the rpmdb comes from e file system access
error, derived from a inmature state of the ahci driver for the
SB600/RD580 chipset . For example now I do:

dmesg | grep ahci
ahci :00:12.0: version 3.0
ahci :00:12.0: controller can't do 64bit DMA, forcing 32bit
ahci :00:12.0: controller can't do PMP, turning off CAP_PMP
ahci :00:12.0: AHCI 0001.0100 32 slots 4 ports 3 Gbps 0xf impl SATA mode
ahci :00:12.0: flags: ncq sntf ilck led clo pio slum part
scsi0 : ahci
scsi1 : ahci
scsi2 : ahci
scsi3 : ahci

For installing the the 64 bits kde version I must resizing a partition
for create a new partition. It was very difficult, and the only way
was starting the install process with "safe settings", because the
hard disk controller has restarted from time to time.

I runned for new memtest for about 33 minutes, after changing the
memorys voltage (rpmdb crashes again), and not appear any memory
error.
 I tested the 2 cores of the cpu in windows with orthos
http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=200
and not apear any cpu error

About the memory bandwith with my Athlon64 X2 5200, they are:
L1 cache 128 21416 MB/s
L2 cache 1024 K  5321 MB/s   (1024 K per core)
Memory  2047 M 2916 MB/s

Those values are right?

How long time I must run memtest?
I runed it for many minutes, and not appear any memory error.
I changed the voltage from the memorys from 1.9 to 2.1 volts as
recomended by OCZ:
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_reaper_hpc_edition
(This is the exact model of the memorys)
Yesterday I rebuilded the rpmdb, and now after adjusting the memorys
voltage, the problem continues.

Plus, I realize this just now, plugging in a usb mass-storage device makes kde 
pop up "open in window?" which it tries but fails to show the content of 
because device-mapper grabbed it. Is this the default behaviour? It can't be.

Or just install webpin to have it query the online database that

I think its fair to say that in the past its been paid less attention
than the GNOME in SLED, although I would rate it as higher than "barely
maintained".  But things like features, polish, maintenance updates, etc
have been targeted at SLED not openSUSE for development cycles.

All I can say is: if you're a KDE user on openSUSE doesn't affect you
much :-).

If you're a GNOME use drop by our list or irc channel and help keep us
on track just like Alberto did by sending the original mail :-).

It's not as easy as you're thinking.

The KDE guys had some advantage with no major release for quite some
time.  Stabilizing KDE 3.5.x is much less work than stabilizing a major
release like KDE 4 - or GNOME 2.20.

So, there have been quite synergies between openSUSE and SLED on the KDE
side - something we could not benefit from with GNOME.  And that means
we have to do more work with GNOME and then you might focus...

I'm glad that the GNOME maintainers have already improve much working on
openSUSE,

Seems one of those very traditional traditions that goes through
centuries and more centuries, and generations and more generations.

As far as I know, KDE is included in SLED too. How come KDE doesnt
have those problems of too much focus in SLED? What can we expect of
that? That the gnome in opensuse is barely maintained? Or does that
mean that the KDE guys doesnt put much effort in SLED?

I'll answer the original mail, but I'll collect thoughts related to
other replies here too.  For the GNOME bugs in particular at least there
are several issues causing the count to be high and not well maintained:

1) We (as the GNOME maintainers) have not been good at redirecting bugs
upstream.  We do have the keyword "should_go_upstream" in use which
indicates what we want to upstream it and resolve it in the opensuse
bugzilla, but we've been slow to do this though and its something we've
not publicized and that was probably wrong.

2) We have not been good at grading bug severity, generally severity has
been left at whatever the filer put it, although Blocker/Critical/Major
have undergone more scrutiny in 10.3 at least.

Further complicating this is that we (as a project) do not define
severity well for instance from what I could find:
http://en.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ
http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports

Only one mentions severity but its a brief reference to blocker.  The
ones on the Novell bugzilla are also weak:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity

3) We (as the GNOME maintainers who work for Novell) have traditionally
not focused on openSUSE much, rather spending most of our time on SLED.
This improved for 10.3 and well continue to improve, but we lagged a
little more than we thought due to SP1 of SLED 10.

4) As some one else mentioned, you almost never close out all the bugs
for release

Now, not one to simply list problems with out a solution, here on some
positives:

1) I've been monitoring the count, its been trending down over the last
three weeks (including major and above)

2) There are a number of easy packaging related things
(bnc-team-gnome-build) we can pick off before 10.3

3) Mark Gordon a Novell QA person has been able to spend a lot more time
triaging and moving bugs upstream over the last several weeks

4) Of the criticals, only 3 have not been active (generally activity
means they are getting attention on the way to a fix) in the last week
and they are:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299331
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299005

Both being worked on by hpj as part of a larger set of help fixes
(rarian integration), its just a big mess atm because we have to tie
this help system into the suse help system which is based on how kde
discovers help files and our older patches broke big time.  We should
look at the for 10.4

Thats good and all , but it doesn't go all the way of course - 
Gary Ekker has been getting some better bug criteria created for
understanding when we should upstream, wontfix, invalid, etc.  Its for
both SLED and openSUSE, we did a test run last week and it worked
reasonably well.  I think Gary would like to publish these so

The best thing to do is to report it here so that we are aware of the
bug.

That perception is not accurate. Although we are tracking some of these
bugs upstream and taking the fixes from the upstream release as they
become available.

There are only 12 GNOME bugs of severity critical and blocker. I'm
confident that we can resolve those before the release of 10.3.

None of us want that and we are working hard to ensure that it doesn't
happen with 10.3.

Yes we still have time to resolve the critical and blocker bugs, as well
as many of the majors.

You haven't read Benji's mail, have you? I'll quote to make it easier for
you:

So in order to "test and integrate", you'd first have to implement the same
functionality in a way suitable for openSUSE. Volunteers anyone?

I still don't know why the internal device got grabbed by device-mapper. I 
suspect not having it in fstab (which was on purpose) led to it. Although I 
never conciously configured or invoked dm-mechanisms.

Existence of an active Bonjour account would be really interesting
feature for small companies - intranet IM working out of the box.

Many of them now internally (and illegally) use ICQ, because their admin
doesn't know, how to configure jabberd up.

But I think, that hostname should not be configurable (but
auto-generated) and should not be a part of user ID (I don't exactly
know, how it is implemented and it does not work for me just now - see
bugzilla), so one could "IM joe, wherever he sits", but be able to see,
that joe is logged as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]

SuSE people can look at FATE 302550.

Please file a bug and assign it to me. As there is a new feature in 10.3 
("Enable defining different hostname for each static IP address"), the way 
how hostnames are written to /etc/hosts has been changed. It seems that I've 
moved around more code than it was necessary :(
