Congratulation Mails

Andreas Jaeger (Program Manager openSUSE)

200 issues of the openSUSE weekly news - that means nearly 4 years of monitoring what’s happening around openSUSE, writing nicely about it on tight schedule, translating it so that people have access in their native tongue to some information,… I’m impressed and gratefull for your service to the openSUSE project.

Thanks, Andreas

”

Jos Poortvliet (Community Manager openSUSE)

Congrats on the 200th release of OWN! Well before I joined openSUSE I already knew about OWN it is frequently posted or referenced around the web. And in the last year I often had OWN come to my rescue - if I’m too busy to keep up with what’s going on, OWN helps to catch up quickly!

I know I am not alone in this, the tireless work of you, heliosred and everyone else who helps (especially the translators) is very valuable for openSUSE.

Thanks!

Stefan Werden (open-slx)

Congratulations, the 200th weekly news is out!
I can remember the first start of the weekly news and now we have number 200! A lot of users are reading weekly news to stay tuned with Linux. Weeky news is a fantastic resource to get a clear overview and what is happening in open source space. The good presentation makes things easy to read and easy to understand. I like to thank everybody in this project, founding members as well as contributors spending every week there free time to provide this great service. Of cause open-slx will continue sponsoring weekly news and insure any contributor has a lot of fun in presenting weekly news.

Network installation could be improved by running package download and package installation in parallel.

        [Look at plymouth for splash during boot (Score: 203)](https://features.opensuse.org/305493)

I wanted to open a fate feature about this when I first heard of plymouth, but reading //fedoramagazine.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/interview-fedora-10s-better-startup/ really makes me think we should go this way.

Ray’s comment starting with “Every flicker and mode change in the boot process takes away from the whole experience.” is especially interesting. Is it okay to track the “don’t show grub by default” here?

”

“

        [1-click uninstall (Score: 173)](https://features.opensuse.org/305305)

An easy way to remove Software! For example: you installed an application with “1-click install” (which will install all the packages that you need), there should be an easy way (also with 1 click) to remove what you have installed with that 1-click operation… in another words: an “1-click Uninstall” to remove installed software (dependencies and packages included).

”

“

        [Update to GRUB v2 (Score: 166)](https://features.opensuse.org/308497)

Every single bug or feature that anyone has developed for GRUB 0.97 has been rejected by the upstream project in favor of using GRUB 2. There has been resisitence in the distribution community to switching boot loaders, but this stalemate isn’t going to go away. The code itself isn’t well written or well maintained. Adding a new feature involves jumping through a lot of hoops that may or may not work even if you manage to work around all the runtime limitations. For example, a fs implementation has a static buffer it can use for memory management. It’s only 32k. For complex file systems, or even a simple journaled file system, we run into problems (like the reiserfs taking forever to load bug) because we don’t have enough memory to do block mapping for the journal so it needs to scan it for every metadata read. (Yeah, really.) (…)

        [Popularity contest (Score: 117)](https://features.opensuse.org/305877)

We need a feedback about packages that are preferred by users and actively used. Debian already has a tool named Popularity contest (popcon)

• reusing popcon will give us results that are directly comparable with Debian and Ubuntu

• packagers team can take care of the package

• we need a configuration dialog in YaST that is visible enough

• we need a server infrastructure on opensuse.org. (There are certain privacy issues, see Debian FAQ for details)

        [Use AppArmor or SELinux for every (suse) package](https://features.opensuse.org/312927)

It would be nice to add apparmor or selinux profiles to every rpm package and , of course, use them! It would let suse become one of the most secure linux systems out there. And the best: the user just installs a package and hasen’t to care about anything ;)

But it would also need a secure (GUI) “Permission Asker”, like windows and of course an easy to use frontend for editing profiles (just easier than the current yast one)

The next meeting of the Testing Core Team will be November 7, 2011 at 18:00 UTC on Channel #opensuse-testing on the Freenode IRC Network (irc://irc.freenode.net/opensuse-testing). Our preliminary agenda includes our experiences with 12.1 RC2. The RC 2 release of 12.1 was released yesterday. To date, I have installed on two x86_64 systems, one i686 system, and one VirtualBox 32-bit VM. There have been no significant problems.

Scribus is a powerful tool, but its menus are poorly laid-out. While you can usually find the features you most frequently use without any trouble, others may be hidden almost anywhere. From the Extras, Script, and Windows menus to the Document Setup dialog, useful features can be positioned almost anywhere, with only the most token regard for logic.

The tools described here are ones that took some time for me to discover in Scribus. None are worth more than a few hundred words of description, but I mention them here because all of them can be useful to know. (…)

cat

Cat is used to either view, create, or join multiple text files together. (In fact, the term “cat” is short for catenate, which is a fancy way of saying “to join two things together, end-to-end”.)

By default, stdin for cat is the keyboard, and stdout is the computer screen. If you just type “cat” at the command prompt, you’ll be able to type in text, and make it echo back to you as soon as you hit Enter. It will keep doing this until you press Ctrl-d to end it. (…)

    [Wazi/W. Jason Gilmore: jQuery and Ajax Error Detection and Handling](//olex.openlogic.com/wazi/2011/jquery-and-ajax-error-detection-and-handling/)

Website development duties were once assigned to different individuals with two distinct roles: A designer focused on the all matters related to the front-end HTML and CSS, and a developer was responsible for the server-side code. JavaScript’s meteoric rise to first-class citizen status has blurred these traditional lines, forcing developers into what was once considered taboo territory. The results have been spectacular, with frameworks such as jQuery significantly streamlining JavaScript’s often unwieldy native syntax, and programming techniques such as Ajax bringing highly responsive user interfaces to the browser. The marrying of jQuery and Ajax has been particularly impactful, providing developers with a powerful solution to the problem of asynchronously interacting with and updating parts of a web page. (…)

    [linuxcareer.com/Writing manual pages on Linux](//how-to.linuxcareer.com/writing-manual-pages-on-linux)

1. Introduction

It’s a very common fact that nobody likes to write documentation. Heck, nobody likes to read it either. But there are times when we have to read it in order to, say, finish the project on time, or, especially when working in software development, even write it. If you only have to read it, we always encouraged you to do so, but if you’ll have to write the manual pages and need a kickstart, here’s the article for you. If you worked previously with HTML your life will be easier, but if not it’s alright. Writing manual pages for Linux is not that hard, despite the look of the pages when read in plain-text. So basically you’ll need some Linux knowledge and the ability to use a text editor. You will learn (with examples, of course) the main concepts in text formatting as applied to man pages and how to write a simple manual page. Since we used yest as an example for our C development tutorial, we will use snippets from its manual page to illustrate our point during this article. (…)

Naming is unusual in SMB/CIFS networks. Although modern clients can use Internet domain names to refer to each other, older clients relied on a Microsoft-specific system known as the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server, or the NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS); the two terms are synonymous. Configuring Samba properly for name resolution is therefore important. So is configuring browsing, which is the mechanism by which servers learn what shares are available on specific servers. (…)

Holger Hetterich: Teradata Partners Conference / Novell Brainshare / SMB Traffic Analyzer / Development status

Well last weeks have been pretty busy. With a 10 hours flight, we arrived at San Francisco to get to San Diego to visit the Teradata Partners conference, an excellent event that included good discussions and lots of acceptance and recognition for SUSE Linux. I liked the way talks have been organized, or to say it in other words it was a matter of downloading an Android app to always have the overview.

We served the SUSE booth at the conference, got involved into lots of discussions about the OS, and I was even happier in the moments when people asked questions on openSUSE – this is showing clearly that the project is well known! **To leave some words on San Diego is very simple: Gaslamp Quarter, I’ll be back, **and have a few more beers at Rock Bottom!

Nelson Marques: ATI/AMD Catalyst 11.10 still broken…

AMD has released Catalyst 11.10 driver for Linux! For quite some time that a large group of users from the community follow Catalyst releases hopping that some problematic issues are fixed, unfortunatly GNOME3, the latest Desktop experience from the GNOME Project, continues to display serious glitches when using this proprietary driver blob.

For GNOME3 users, this driver isn’t recommended at all, and people should stick with the default radeon open source driver provided by the community which has awesome support for r300 and r600 chipsets (and improving every day).

The previous release, 11.9 has fixed one of the issues with GNOME3 (the rainbow activity bar), but showed regressions in many other fields, including on KDE (including also on Windows). All ATI/AMD users live to see better days in the future!

Microsoft’s proposed use of Unfied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) in Windows 8 could be used to block all other operating systems from Windows 8 systems. The Linux Foundation and partners have a better idea: Secure computers with UEFI and give users freedom of operating system choice.

In the Linux Foundation document, Making UEFI Secure Boot Work With Open Platforms (PDF Link), James Bottomley, CTO of Server Virtualization at Parallels and Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board Chair Jonathan Corbet, Editor at LWN.net and fellow Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board Member, after consulting with other Linux leaders, explain how “Linux and other open operating systems will be able to take advantage of secure boot if it is implemented properly in the hardware.” (…)

The Ruby development team announced the release of version 1.9.3 of its open source programming language. Described as basically being “an implementation-improved version of Ruby 1.9.2”, the first release of the new stable series of Ruby improves library loading performance and brings changes to the Ruby licence.

Ruby 1.9.3 p0 source code is made available under a 2-clause BSD Licence and the Ruby Licence; previous versions of Ruby were released under the GPLv2 and Ruby Licence. Other changes include improved locking in multi-threaded programs, regular expression support for Unicode 6.0 and a new library io/console for simple portable access to the console. Also among the modifications are changes to Random.rand and extra String methods such as prepend and byteslice, though generally, the developers say you should be able to safely switch to Ruby 1.93 from 1.9.2.

This might not strike you as too amazing. After all, Microsoft has supported some open-source projects at CodePlex for some time now and they will work with some other projects such as the Python and PHP languages and the Drupal content management system (CMS). But, Samba, Samba is different. They’re an old Microsoft enemy. (…)

Linux is one of the most secure and stable operating systems around, and yet, its user base hasn’t really grown as everyone expected it to. There are many reasons for this, and we won’t go into those right now. However, if you, like any other Linux user, are disappointed by the current market share stats, we can tell you some simple tips that will help you convince your Windows or Mac-crazy friends into using Linux.

Now, many Linux users have already tried to coax their friends and family members to try out this popular and newbie-friendly distro called Ubuntu. A select few have succeeded and many have failed. So here, we will give you some important tips to help you spread the word about Linux without sounding like that arrogant nerd who has nothing but contempt for Windows or Mac. (…)
