Make systemd-nspawnd usable for support purposes.

a project by tsaupe

Report from the research mailing list: some colleagues and myself had a small SLES 12 troubleshooting workshop today. We were playing around with the rescue system. There is this magic tool called "systemd-nspawn" that is

filesystem checking using symbolic execution

an idea by jirislaby

I already wrote a description and this shit ate it after I clicked create project (because "go home" overlapped). I won't write the long story second time, sorry. In short: symbolic execution on btrfs and input of death, that is.

kGraft: allow to handle more patches in parallel

a project by pmladek

Current kGraft implementation allows to apply new patch only when the previous one is applied to the whole system. Every task is handled separately and it needs to wait for a safe place to switch. It might take a while, especially when the task is sleeping. Therefore it would be great to allow to apply more patches in parallel. It is not trivial because different tasks might be in different world, so the slow stub has to be clever and choose the right one without taking any lock...

make FF use ntlm_auth for NTLMv2

a project by jmcdough

Firefox dropped its built-in ntlm auth as it only handled ntlmv1 (insecure). On windows it uses SSPI to handle the ntlm cases, and on other platforms it simply does not support NTLM at all (and then only v1) without a manual flag change. Let's get it recognizing /usr/bin/ntlm_auth as the system tool for doing this.

Bring up Linux on Optimus Board (Allwinner A80)

a project by a_faerber

The Allwinner Tech Optimus Board by Merrii is the evaluation board for the Allwinner A80 SoC with big.LITTLE Cortex-A15/-A7 configuration (32-bit ARMv7). The sources leaked from Allwinner contain GPL violations in U-Boot and Linux kernel and therefore won't easily build with openSUSE's armhf gcc (binaries seem to be softfp).

KVM for Nvidia Jetson TK1

a 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.

openSUSE for IFC6540

a project by a_faerber

The Inforce Computing IFC6540 is an SBC with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC (32-bit ARMv7). I had previously brought up openSUSE on the IFC6410. A week before Hackweek Interstellar I got the IFC6540 to boot on serial console using the upstream-based Linaro integration branch, up to searching for the rootfs. Since USB and SATA support were still missing, my goal will be to prepare a MicroSD based rootfs to complete the bringup.

openSUSE for Firefly-RK3288

a project by a_faerber

The Firefly-RK3288 is the first SBC with the Rockchip RK3288 SoC, the first available chip with Cortex-A17 cores (32-bit ARMv7). I received such a board just in time for Hackweek Interstellar and will be looking into booting an upstream kernel with openSUSE 13.2/Factory rootfs.

open-iscsi use of multi-queue to implement MCS

a project by lee_duncan

The open-iscsi package is the de facto standard Linux iSCSI initiator, but it does not support iSCSI MCS. MCS stands for multiple connections per session, and it means that the iSCSI initiator and target communicate over multiple connections to increase throughput. It is sometimes written as "MC/S".

GRUB menu for QA PXE boot environment

an idea by zluo

At moment PowerKVM client needs to be shutdown after installation. A manual changes for boot orders in configuration file is needed for booting up SLES 12. The idea is to create GRUB menu which can be handed over from DNS Server to client when it starts up. The GRUB menu should contains normal installation option and entry which is able to boot SLES 12 from hard disk.

Proof of Concept Support for SUSE Cloud, best practice

a project by rsimai

With many Proof of Concepts (PoCs) going on for SUSE Cloud, the development team has observed that we have no clear path on how Sales Engineers (SEs) and sometimes dedicated support engineers (xSE) can receive technical support to successfully complete the projects, often leading to escalation calls and even firefighting on-site visits by developers. Goal of that project is to come up with a best practice guide and to eventually set expectations on what's possible from a development point of view. Results should be documented in a central internal location and announced to all relevant parties.

one-click distribution from web page

an idea by mhocko

Maybe this is something we already know but I haven't found it. But found it really cool how Debian can be installed easily from Windows machines. Just have a look at http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ I have learned that our installation CD already can install OpenSUSE from Windows based systems so I think this shouldn't that hard to move this to we based installation.

Improve retty tool

a project by jankara

Retty is a tool for changing stdin,stdout,stderr of a running process (http://pasky.or.cz/dev/retty/) which may be handy if you want to attach to a process running e.g. from a died ssh session, changing running process to run from under screen(1) etc.. Currently it doesn't work for 64-bit systems and it doesn't handle changing of a controlling tty of a process (which may be possible using setsid() and opening a new tty). The aim of this project it to fix the above deficiencies and package the tool in OBS.

Investigate and model Ceph cluster performance

a project by LarsMB

Predicting the non-functional properties of a Ceph cluster can be quite difficult. There are many inputs in the hardware setup and software configuration that affect the resulting availability, reliability and performance (latency and throughput at nominal levels and during degraded and rebuild times). I want to understand the interrelationship of these parameters better and build a (perhaps interactive) model that allows us to predict the result without the need to build a ten thousand node cluster.
