VMWare server 1.0.3 build-44356 running on 10.2 host,10.3 beta1 as quest.

Unfortunately I haven't installed any alphas this time so I don't know
if this came with beta1 or before.

Running Beta1 fills /var/log/messages on host with the following:

kernel: /dev/vmmon[3561]: host clock rate change request 306 - 348

The numbers change, the lines come every ten seconds.


Please try clock=pit on the bootprompt. This fixes it for my SLES9  
workstation - so it would be great to hear if this is also true for  
10.3...

Re: [opensuse-factory] brp scripts in autobuild

2007-03-23 Thread Lars Rupp
Hi

From [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 from various discussions in bug reports I know that brp scripts for
 the following are installed in autobuild:
 
 - check whether .la files have an empty dependency_libs line
 - check whether .la and .pc files have references to the build root
 - check whether .desktop files have all their icons installed
 
 Are these scripts publicly available somewhere? They are not
 distributed with rpm, build or osc and I could not find them anywhere
 else either.

Currently not.


 If not, would it be possible to publish these (and others, if
 present)?

Adding this to my ToDo-List: talk to our managers and see what can be
published. But please don't expect a fast answer... :-/

Greetings,
Lars

Re: [opensuse-factory] Tor package

 I suggest including tor [1] package to the distribution. I suppose
 many people
 use anonymous Tor network in their daily activities and this app would
 be
 very usefull. In addition a GUI frontend like TorK [2] is welcome. 
 
 What do you think about this?

Please have a look at:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/security:/privacy/
Resp.:

http://download.uni-hd.de/ftp/pub/linux/opensuse/repositories/security:/privacy/openSUSE_10.2/repodata/repoview/tor-0-0.1.1.26-3.1.html

Test the package and try to talk to the maintainer of the tor package in
the buildservice if he can add TorK and/or submit both to the
distribution.

Lars

 * What do you think of this?  Do you have better ideas?

Perhaps we can discuss if we need an additional option Remove after
installation in the YaST2-Packagemanager - for Example: Some
YaST2-Modules can be deleted, when the installation is finished...

 Well, since yast asks for the root password in 2nd stage a system
 without yast would be somewhat useless as you couldn't even log in
 after installation.

Thats why I wrote: deinstall after installation.

So we can walk trough the complete second stage of installation and
afterwards we've perhaps no YaST at all. So perhaps we need:
- smaller dependencies between the YaST modules
- a new YaST2-installation which contains all relevant parts
(impossible imho)
- a new step for deinstallation unneeded modules/rpms after installation
is finished

New items for AJs list: 
- Look for packages with more than x MB (lets start with 10MB) size and
see if we can downsize them by repackaging.
- Let the base pattern become very small and minimalistic. I agree
with Klaus that we perhaps need something like a bash - but if you say
that, there will probably be someone saying I need that fing 20MB
editor named vi - or this is no minimal system to live with. So why not
put only stuff like kernel, glibc and ... in the base pattern a system
can not start with. Extend these base pattern with additional patterns
like System administration (YaST), usefull system tools (vi, joe,
ifconfig, ...).

= This should result in a very small base pattern (target 1)
= We can discuss about the additional (system) patterns for the base
system in seperate threats.

 Hi,

 since a couple of days now the directories

 inst-source/suse/ppc/
 inst-source/suse/ppc64/

 are gone at factory.
 What's about it?

Sorry. My fault: :-( During renaming to openSUSE I deleted the wrong 
line in our internal config...

x86_64 and ppc should be available again with the next build. Sorry for 
creating extra traffic,

 Lars?

Yes: completely re-written.
I'm sorry, but I can give no final release date for the new script. 
Currently we're changing very much and try to integrate things 
we've outsourced to helper scripts bevore (with the intention to make 
the CD creation process a little bit faster).

In the end we can hopefully create a new package containing scripts for 
creating installation and update sources, CDs and so on . Currently you 
can find the latest official script in the rpm autoyast-utils. But 
this package creation is at the end of a very long todo list... :-(

 Will create_package_descr still be able to make .sel files, or will

create_package_descr  has never created .sel or .pat files. 
create_package_descr   is only responsible for the creation of 
the /suse/setup/descr/packages* files.


 As far as I understand, I could just add OOo and then during
 installation will install all dependencies?

Yes. Thats one thing the resolver does (hopefully ;-).


 What happens when I then 
 want to deinstall OOo? Will it recognise the extra things it
 installed, or will that still be left behind?

Should be nearly the same as rpm -e OOo...

 What about things I installed with rpm -Uvh?

No problem with that - it's the same behavior as bevore. This has 
nothing to do with patterns ;-)

Re: [opensuse-factory] Adding *.sel to an installation source

For a future version I want to add a Personal.sel to the intsallation. 
 For 
 one reason or another it is not picked up by YaST during the 
 installation, 
 so I am unable to select it. 
 
 What I did was copy /suse/setup/descr/Games-10.1-67.noarch.sel to 
 /suse/setup/descr/Personal-10.1-67.noarch.sel and then changed all 
 Games 
 in the file to Personal. 
 
 Next I added the line Personal-10.1-63.noarch.sel to 
 suse/setup/descr/selections 
 

 simpler (-: ls *.sel  suse/setup/descr/selections 
 
 Add: create a new MD5SUMS file! 
 
 
 
However when I edit suse/setup/descr/selections I get the `no catalog 
 found at ...` error, so I suppose it needs to be signed somewhere. 
 However 
 the only two *.key files are re-signed, so what am I missing? 
 

 - Add a new line to the content file (sha1sum...) 
 - copy your own gpg-key to /gpg-pubkey-*-*.asc 
 - add this key to the content file (line beginns with KEY SHA1...) 
 - rm content.asc content.key media.1/products.key media.1/products.asc 
- create a new media.1/products and content file (like houghis special
 10.1 version  
 - sign the content and the media.1/products file with your gpg key 
 - cp your /gpg-pubkey-*-*.asc to media.1/products.key content.key 
 
 Hoperfully I don't forget something...
