KVM for Nvidia Jetson TK1a project by a_faerber The Nvidia Jetson TK1 is an SBC with Nvidia Tegra K1 SoC (quad-core Cortex-A15, 32-bit ARMv7). I have openSUSE running on the Jetson TK1, but KVM is currently not usable as the CPUs are not booted in HYP mode. Thierry Reding of Nvidia has some work-in-progress for U-Boot and upstream kernel that I would like to test. |
Splitting python-gammu out of Gammuan invention by mcihar In past it was needed these project to be developed together due to unstable API of Gammu. This is now stable and having python module in the code just makes the things harder. The code should be separated, use standard distutils and have testsuite. In future it should also support Python 3, but that's not the primary goal now. The work has already started: |

Protect disk devices from concurrent use in the libvirt libxl hypervisor drivera project by jfehlig The libvirt qemu hypervisor driver has long supported protecting disk devices from concurrent use via libvirt's lock manager interface. Xen used to support the same functionality in the old xend toolstack, but dropped support in the new libxl toolstack. The Xen community decided, rightly so, that this functionality is best provided by a higher-level management tool, e.g. libvirt. This project aims to provide integration between libvirt's lock manager and the libxl hypervisor driver, essentially reintroducing support for disk device protection in the Xen management stack. |
Experience with SLERT11 SP3 and try build SLERT11 SP4 Alpha 2 imagea project by Jeffreycheung Due to the newly appointed PM of SLERT 11 SP4, I would like to try out the SLERT 11 SP3 to experience the REAL TIME features so that I can talk and share the knowledge to team and other people Due to SLERT11 Alpha 2 image set at 28 April, I would like to take a chance at hackweek to try build the image because I never did any similar before. |

[ARM] Bootstrap ILP32 on AArch64a project by algraf Some customers are still stuck in a world of 32bit. On ARM64, we have two options for those poor folks: 1) Run applications in the legacy ARMv7 instruction set |
YaST module for smarmontoolsan idea by sbrabec smartmontools has a number of options that fine tune disk checking, periodic tests, short tests, values to monitor, values to ignore. It would be nice to have a tool to easily configure it. |
Improve posixovl to support fully featured POSIX file system on top of any limited file system (e. g. vfat)a project by sbrabec posixovl is a FUSE based successor of the old UMSDOS. It has a goal to provide POSIX file system functionality on top of vfat. Its code is nice and well written, but its feature set is not complete yet. It just supports: POSIX modes and user/group, hard and symbolic links, device nodes and named pipes. Much more can be done: |
Simple user interface for head mounted displaysa project by chuller 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. The existing Head mounted display: https://jamballa.wordpress.com/2015/01/26/steampunked-hmd-1st-iteration/ |
Chromium/Chrome extension to always allow saving passwordsa record by thardeck Chromium/Chrome is - unlike Firefox - not able to save the password for many sites. There is already one extension which should fix this but doesn't work and there is also the Chrome Lastpass extension which is not supposed to have this problem but since I don't really need the other features it is no option. |
Research about existing Google Drive Linux clientsan invention by sndirsch Get an overview about the unofficial Google Drive clients, which exist for Linux. Give them a broader testing. Figure out which one is usable. * grive: With using that client I've seen fatal issues, e.g. I've created a folder upstream and uploaded some files to it. When running |
Simplify packaging our booksa project by keichwa Our books are also available as regular software packages such as 'sles-manuals_en'. There is a semi-private script that I use to generate the requisites (fetch the old version from the BS, tar the XML sources with daps, update .spec and .changes, etc.) and to submit the results to the BS. |
Dive into drbd8.4.x and drbd9a project by wanghaisu 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. DRBD is done by mirroring a whole block device via an assigned network. DRBD can be understood as network based raid-1. Only two nodes are supported in 8.4.x. For the drbd9(dev in RC phase), multiple nodes can be supported as well. Diving into it and do hacks. |
Port a fake signal optimization to kGrafta project by mbenes 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... |
Fix a focus stealing bug in pidgin in openSUSEa project by moskyto 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. Wanna hunt and fix this bug. |
gocloud - uploader framework for the public clouda project by sax2 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. Therefore a framework to combine all this into a more clean process should be developed. The basic parts of the project consists of: |
package upstream test suite for 'bind'an idea by hrommel1 Upstream (ISC) has a rich test suite for their name service daemon 'bind' (aka 'named'). It covers both different configurations as well as different topologies for DNS. Since we perform maintenance updates of this (probably most crucial) part of the Internet every now and then we should invest into making this test suite easy to use both for packagers and QA. |
