The Live CD iso report

Coolo,

I can now report that the Gnome Live CD also builds and boots.

Both KDE and Gnome both will boot from a USB stick written with imagewriter; 
however, both fail when booted using the iso with qemu-kvm. At the point of 
failure, /var/lob/kiwi.boot shows the following:

===========================================================================

+ echo /dev/ram1
+ return
+ ramOnly=1
+ '[' 1 = 1 ']'
++ cat /proc/meminfo
++ cut -f1 -dk
++ grep MemFree
++ cut -f2 -d:
+ haveKByte='          405108 '
++ expr 405108 / 1024
+ haveMByte=

Build disabled for devel packages [Publishing]?


Hello.

I found that some my devel packages are disabled for Factory in 
Publishing project.

Who and why… ?

And I see more disabled in Publishing:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?arch_i586=1&defaults=0&disabled=1&project=Publishing&repo_openSUSE_Factory=1

Boot failure with latest Live CD iso

Coolo,

Good news.

After 'osc update' this morning, the KDE Live CD builds once again, *and* it 
boots. Thus far, I have run only limited tests, but they include connecting to a 
WPA2-TKIP(AES)-encrypted AP. Networking appears to be fine.

Are there any specific tests you would like me to run?

Larry

Latest Tumbleweed kernel update 3.3.6 to 3.4.0 breaks cifs-mounting my NAS

Hi,

the latest Tumbleweed kernel update 3.3.6 to 3.4.0 breaks cifs-mounting my 
NAS (used to work flawlessly with 3.3.6 and before). Accessing the NAS 
with smbclient still works.

Bug?

OSOC: plymouth for kiwi

Hi,

I just started a little project: the openSUSE Spring of Code.
It has many advantages over similiar projects, most prominently it's all
about honor and you don't have to care how to pay taxes on money.

And my first task to offer to the first promising candidate: plymouth
integration into kiwi (and installation-images). plymouth is integrated
into mkinitrd by now, but we have 2 other initrds that are worthy:

one is most likely easy: installation-images builds a pretty hard coded
list of files and packages to include and plymouth needs to replace
bootchart in there. Very similiar work to mkinitrd.

kiwi is a bit harder as it allows custom branding (e.g. for studio
integration) and as such builds bootsplash branding itself depending
on the branding, so plymouth integration is a bit more work.

Whoever picks the task: make sure to talk to snwint@ and ms <at> suse.com

Greetings, Stephan

Roles for security and convenience

Let's start a new thread to look a bit more at different roles.

I saw these two proposals:

Stefan Seyfried proposed a machine use case:

> with a short description is still a good idea IMHO. Maybe stuff like:

>      need to "su -" and then use yast or whatever to change stuff.
>

>   connect printers and install package updates with your user account.
>   For adding software repositories and installing additional software,
>   you'll need the root passowrd.
> 
> * "third preset": I have no idea what a third preset could be

Hans Witvliet seems to suggest user roles:

Status: Beta

Hi,

As we have no real estimate when the build service will be in a working
state again, I can't forecast when we will have the first builds to test 
either.

This is something that I did not expect - our servers really do
not like 12.2 to be released ;(

Greetings, Stephan

IPv6 support Yast Firewall

With use of IPv6 increasing, would it be possible to get support for 
IPv6 added to Yast Firewall?  Also, I use a 6in4 tunnel to obtain IPv6 
and the 6in4 tunnel (tun-00) doesn't appear in Yast.  As that is how 
many currently obtain IPv6, support for that is important.

tnx jk

Midnight Commander needs maintainer?/maintenance!

https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&emailassigned_to1=1&short_desc=mc%20midnight&field0-0-0=resolution&short_desc_type=anywordssubstr&email1=nadvornik%40suse.com&type0-0-0=notequals&value0-0-0=duplicate&classification=openSUSE&product=openSUSE%2011.4&product=openSUSE%2012.1&product=openSUSE%2012.2&emailtype1=exact 
shows 14 mc bugs against supported releases and Factory assigned to 
nadvornik, one of two "maintainers" listed by osc. 4 are marked fixed, and 
none of those show any activity by nadvornik.

dlovasko has no mc bugs against supported releases assigned, and is only 
associated to two mc bugs, though via bug comments it appears he is somehow 
related to two recent fixes.

So it appears mc needs maintainer (and version) maintenance. The current 
Factory version is 4.8.1.3, while the latest is 4.8.3, which will miss 
version cutoff if it isn't updated soon, if that milestone hasn't already passed.
