Displays your openQA instance status, the feature/behavior should had at least like the list below,

Continue on the started CHDK (Canon Hack Developer Kit) for libgphoto2 support.

Create a user interface useable with a see through head mounted display. The display was created from some Chinese video glasses and has a low resolution (320x240) which requires a optimized user interface that also is useful when using it hands free.

In the YaST installer, make disk encryption method, mode, key strength, random source etc configurable.

Rust, the new language from Mozilla Foundation, is a modern systems programming language focusing on safety and speed. It accomplishes these goals by being memory safe without using garbage collection.

My home server, and my other box hosting https://sysrich.co.uk are both in need of a bit of a refresh

Our books are also available as regular software packages such as 'sles-manuals_en'.

this work has experimented with zeromq sqlalchamy and multithreading in python to make a rich tool for syncronisation of your music collection with media devices.

whenenv is designed to keep the branching involved in build and functional test scripts from growing out of control.

dropwatch is a utility which can help you to see if data is been dropped in linux network stack.

DRBD refers to block devices designed as a building block to form high availability (HA) clusters.Also possible to combine multiple devices driver for Linux(MD) and the network block device(NBD) to achieve similar functionality.

There is a ramdisk block device (brd), and there is a null multiqueue device (nullblk). The one can do I/O, but doesn't use multiqueue, and the other does multiqueue but cannot do I/O.

We currently work on a consistency model for upstream livepatching infrastructure. We use something called a fake signal to speed up a finalization of the patching process. I'll port the implementation to kGraft in SLES which should allow to remove immediate patching since it has recently proved to be problematic...

I have an IRC tab open in pidgin and an adjacent XMPP tab; the latter one displayed with focus. When a new XMPP tab opens in background (with a message incoming), the IRC tab steals the focus but not the display. It brings annoying situations when I sometimes send something accidentally to the IRC instead of XMPP, not noticing that I don't have focus.

We from the public cloud dev team regularly upload generic and product images to be available in public cloud systems like Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine or Microsoft Azure. The task of uploading stuff there is not only about having the tools it's also about having the right environment which provides account credentials as well as access to the image when they are built in the buildservice. Also the location from where the upload happens can make a difference in performance.

VNC protocol transfers key symbols (= basically characters), not key codes (= "coordinates" on keyboard). Therefore pressing the same keys may result in sending different commands over VNC depending on the keyboard layout and state of modifiers on the client side. The server however can not directly send the key symbol to the application, it must instead find or create key code that will translate to that symbol and send that.

The disassembly in gdb is not ideal. The binding with source code lines is weird (even crash, which does use gdb beneath, does that better), I don't see the jump targets; furthermore, there's a lot more informations hidden in the DWARF2 which may be of some interest - like which code is inlined, or which register/stack address should contain some variable.

Today OpenQA mostly runs on virtual machines, but it can get really tricky to find bugs triggered by real hardware. There are only few interfaces required to interact with a machine though:

ARM64 is become more popular on different markets, but obviously lots of pepople didn't have the hardware platform, and fastmodel is helpful for people to play with ARM64 environment, furthermore, we can run different software platform on it, such as Cloud, HA, Virt and OpenStack.

The zypprepo was written around 3 years ago, and was based on the yumrepo built-in type/provider. Nowadays zypprepo misses a lot of functionality, which will be automatically inherited if it gets rewritten to be in sync with the current code of yumrepo (as also discussed in its issues #5 and #9). If time permits, solving issue #4 would be also really useful.

I previously created a semi-auto test script(*) for MOK. The script controls the QEMU virtual machine a pre-setup image and performs two simple test cases. It's tedious to setup the images for every SLE and openSUSE. My goal is to write a script to automatically set up the virtual machines and images and do a full test. I would also like to set up a test for weekly-built OVMF. openQA might be a good reference.
