Chapter 4. Installation Related Notes

This section includes installation related information for this release.

4.1. Howto Run Applications that Do Not Recognize Linux Kernel 3.0 as Valid
and Require Kernel 2.6 Instead

With SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 we introduce Linux Kernel 3.0. This
kernel is a direct successor of the Linux kernel 2.6 series, thus all
applications run without change.

However, some broken applications or installation programs may check for
"2.6" literally, thus failing to accept the compatibility of our kernel.

We provide two mechanisms to encourage applications to recognize the kernel
3.0 in SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 as a Linux kernel 2.6 compatible
system:

 1. Use the uname26 command line tool, to start a single application in a
    2.6 context. Usage is as easy as typing uname26 [PROGRAM] . More
    information can be found in the manpage of "setarch".

 2. Some database systems and enterprise business applications expect
    processes and tasks run under a specific user name (not root). The
    Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) stack in SUSE Linux Enterprise
    allows to put a user into a 2.6 context. To achieve this, please add
    the username to the file /etc/security/uname26.conf . For more
    information, see the manpage for "pam_unix2". Caveat: we do not support
    the "root" user to run in a 2.6 context.

If you are running SAP applications please have a look at SAP Note #1310037
for more information on running SAP Applications within a Kernel 2.6
compatibility environment.

4.2. Map network interface names to the names written on the chassis
(biosdevname)

This feature addresses the issue of eth0 does not map to em1 as labeled on
server chassis when a server has multiple network adapters.

This issue is solved for Dell hardware, which has the corresponding BIOS
support, by renaming onboard network interfaces to em[1234], which maps to
Embedded NIC[1234] as labeled on server chassis. (em stands for
ethernet-on-motherboard.)

The renaming will be done by using the biosdevname utility.

biosdevname is automatically installed and used if YaST2 detects hardware
suitable to be used with biosdevname. biosdevname can be disabled during
installation by using "biosdevname=0" on the kernel commandline. The usage
of biosdevname can be enforced on every hardware with "biosdevname=1". If
the BIOS has no support, no network interface names are renamed.

4.3. CJK Languages Support in Text-mode Installation

CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) languages do not work properly during
text-mode installation if the framebuffer is not used (Text Mode selected
in boot loader).

There are three alternatives to resolve this issue:

 1. Use English or some other non-CJK language for installation then switch
    to the CJK language later on a running system using
    YaST+System+Language.

 2. Use your CJK language during installation, but do not choose Text Mode
    in the boot loader using F3 Video Mode. Select one of the other VGA
    modes instead. Select the CJK language of your choice using F2
    Language, add textmode=1 to the boot loader command-line and start the
    installation.

 3. Use graphical installation (or install remotely via SSH or VNC).

4.4. Unable to Detect Display with Lid Closed

During the installation YaST resp. SaX2 tries to detect displays and
determine the display size and resolution. If you are installing on a
notebook with a closed lid it is not be possible to detect the display. To
avoid this problem you must keep the lid open during installation.

If the detection fails, start YaST and click Hardware+Graphics Card and
Monitor. Then configure the display manually.

4.5. Development Packages Moved to the SDK

As many development packages and sub-packages as possible have been moved
to the SDK.

4.6. Installation Using Persistent Device Names

The installer uses persistent device names by default. If you plan to add
storage devices to your system after the installation, we strongly
recommend you use persistent device names for all storage devices.

To switch to persistent device names on a system that has already been
installed, start the YaST2 partitioner. For each partition, select Edit and
go to the FStab Options dialog. Any mount option except Device name
provides you persistent device names. In addition, rerun the boot loader
module in YaST to switch the bootloader to using the persistent device
name. Start the module Boot Loader and select Finish to write the new
proposed configuration to disk. This needs to be done before adding new
storage devices.

For further information, visit http://en.opensuse.org/
Persistant_Storage_Device_Names.

4.7. MD Devices on Top of iSCSI Not Supported

iSCSI devices cannot be used for Linux Software RAID. Using MD devices on
top of iSCSI triggers a cyclic dependency that leads to a system crash.

4.8. Using NetworkManager and DHCP

To make NetworkManager send the hostname to the DHCP server, create a new
network profile (see the Administration Guide for more information). Modify
this profile with GNOME Configuration Editor (gconf-editor) and add the key
/system/networking/connections/$number/ipv4/dhcp-hostname (replace
"$number" with the actual number) with a string value. NetworkManager will
send this value to the DHCP server. A special value system-hostname can be
used to send the current hostname.

Chapter 5. New Features

5.1. Desktop

  * GNOME 2.28

    GNOME was updated to the latest version and uses PulseAudio for sound.

  * KDE 4.3

    SUSE introduced KDE 4 with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 as an
    innovative free software desktop and applications such as the Konqueror
    web browser, the Dolphin file manager, the Okular document reader, the
    System Settings control center and more.

    KDE was updated to the latest 4.3.4 version with this Service Pack.

    This new version of KDE is built on KDE Libraries which provide easy
    access to resources on the network by means of KIO and advanced visual
    capabilities through Qt4. Phonon and Solid. Customers migrating from
    SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 using KDE are getting a new user
    experience in version 11 Service Pack 1 and later. We recommend backing
    up your user home directory when upgrading from SUSE Linux Enterprise
    Desktop 10. (Partly based on http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/.)

  * X.org 7.4

    The X server libraries were updated to version 1.6.5. The client
    libraries were kept the same, except for libgl.

5.1.1. FreeRDP Is Going to Replace rdesktop

In some scenarios, FreeRDP performs better than the rdesktop client, which
is currently available as the Linux RDP client. Thus we add support for
FreeRDP in SUSE Linux Enteprise Desktop 11 SP2. With the upcoming SP3, we
will drop rdesktop in favor of FreeRDP.

5.1.2. Banshee with iPhone and iPod Sync Support

Banshee can now be synchronized with iPhone and iPod.

5.1.3. The LibreOffice Suite replaces the OpenOffice.org Packages

OpenOffice.org has been replaced with LibreOffice. If you perform an
upgrade, manual interaction is needed, otherwise you will stay with the old
OpenOffice.org packages. Future updates will only be prepared and published
for LibreOffice. Some parts of the documentation packages still mention
'OpenOffice.org'.

5.2. Security

5.2.1. Added System Security Services Daemon (sssd) for LDAP/Kerberos
Authentication

The System Security Services Daemon (sssd) was added to SLE 11 SP2 to
provide an alternative method to retrieve user and group information from
LDAP directories and to perform authentication through LDAP or Kerberos. It
is provided as an alternative to the nss_ldap and pam_ldap (or pam_krb5)
Modules. Compared to those modules sssd offers some advantages:

  * due to it's daemon based architecture possible symbol conflicts between
    different implementations of LDAP client libraries can be avoided

  * offline authentication is supported (disabled by default)

  * builtin support for Kerberos Authentication (no separate PAM module
    needed)

With SLE 11 SP2 the YaST2 ldap-client module can be used to setup sssd for
LDAP (and/or Kerberos) Authentication. The YaST to ldap-client module can
also be used to switch from a nss_ldap/pam_ldap based setup to sssd and
back.

Some additional notes:

  * sssd requires a Transport Layer Encryption to be in place when using
    LDAP based authentication (e.g., LDAPS or StartTLS),

  * sssd does currently only support the passwd, shadow and group NSS
    databases

5.2.2. openSSH with Cryptographic Hardware Acceleration

openSSH now makes use of cryptographic hardware acceleration. As a result,
the transfer of large quantities of data through a ssh connection is
considerably faster. As an additional benefit, the CPU of the system with
cryptographic hardware will see a significant reduction in load.

5.2.3. PAM Configuration

The common PAM configuration files (/etc/pam.d/common-*) are now created
and managed with pam-config.

5.3. Network

5.3.1. Map network interface names to the names written on the chassis
(biosdevname)

This feature addresses the issue of eth0 does not map to em1 as labeled on
server chassis when a server has multiple network adapters.

This issue is solved for Dell hardware, which has the corresponding BIOS
support, by renaming onboard network interfaces to em[1234], which maps to
Embedded NIC[1234] as labeled on server chassis. (em stands for
ethernet-on-motherboard.)

The renaming will be done by using the biosdevname utility.

biosdevname is automatically installed and used if YaST2 detects hardware
suitable to be used with biosdevname. biosdevname can be disabled during
installation by using "biosdevname=0" on the kernel commandline. The usage
of biosdevname can be enforced on every hardware with "biosdevname=1". If
the BIOS has no support, no network interface names are renamed.

5.4. Server

5.4.1. HPLIP Version Upgrade

With the changes in the printer market that have happened since SUSE Linux
Enterprise 11 SP1 was released, it is highly probable that parts of HPLIP
are outdated.

The version upgrade to HPLIP version 3.11.5 keeps SUSE Linux Enterprise 11
SP2 up-to-date regarding to HP printer and all-in-one devices.

5.5. Systems Management

  * Improved Update Stack

    SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 comes with an improved update stack
    and the command line tool zypper to manage the install/update packages
    and repositories.

  * Enhanced YaST Partitioner

  * Extended Built-in Management Infrastructure

    CIM enablement with SFCB CIMON.

5.6. Kernel and Toolchain

  * GCC 4.3.4

  * glibc 2.11

  * Linux kernel 3.0.10

5.7. Other Changes and Version Updates

  * EVMS2 Replaced with LVM2

  * Default Filesystem

    The default file system in new installations was changed from ReiserFS
    to ext3 with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11. A public statement can
    be found at http://www.suse.com/products/server/technical-information/#
    FileSystem.

  * Samba 3.4.3

  * UEFI Enablement on AMD64

  * SWAP over NFS

  * Python 2.6.0

  * Perl 5.10

  * Ruby 1.87

Chapter 6. Update-Related Notes

This section includes update-related information for this release.

6.1. OpenJDK replaces SUN Java

Oracle and IBM announced in October 2010 that they will collaborate in the
OpenJDK Community to develop the leading open-source Java SE
implementation, and make the OpenJDK Community the primary location for
open-source Java SE development. SUSE supports this efforts and includes
openJDK with this and future releases. NOTE: The package java-1_6_0-sun
will be replaced by java-1_6_0-openjdk.

6.2. General Update Notes

6.2.1. Howto Run Applications that Do Not Recognize Linux Kernel 3.0 as
Valid and Require Kernel 2.6 Instead

With SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 we introduce Linux Kernel 3.0. This
kernel is a direct successor of the Linux kernel 2.6 series, thus all
applications run without change.

However, some broken applications or installation programs may check for
"2.6" literally, thus failing to accept the compatibility of our kernel.

We provide two mechanisms to encourage applications to recognize the kernel
3.0 in SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 as a Linux kernel 2.6 compatible
system:

 1. Use the uname26 command line tool, to start a single application in a
    2.6 context. Usage is as easy as typing uname26 [PROGRAM] . More
    information can be found in the manpage of "setarch".

 2. Some database systems and enterprise business applications expect
    processes and tasks run under a specific user name (not root). The
    Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) stack in SUSE Linux Enterprise
    allows to put a user into a 2.6 context. To achieve this, please add
    the username to the file /etc/security/uname26.conf . For more
    information, see the manpage for "pam_unix2". Caveat: we do not support
    the "root" user to run in a 2.6 context.

If you are running SAP applications please have a look at SAP Note #1310037
for more information on running SAP Applications within a Kernel 2.6
compatibility environment.

6.2.2. Automated Upgrade Using AutoYaST

For an automated upgrade from SLES 10 SP4 or SLES 11 SP1 using AutoYaST see
the Deployment Guide, Part "Automated Installations". The Deployment Guide
is part of the system documentation that comes with the product.

6.2.3. Migrating to SLE 11 SP2

To migrate the system to the Service Pack 2 level with zypper, use the dup
subcommand with the --from option and then finalize it with the patch
subcommand as follows:

zypper dup --from <new SP2 repos>
zypper patch

If you use zypper dup without the --from option, zypper will do a full
update to the latest possible release on all channels, but not migrate to
the Service Pack 2 level.

For more information about migrating the system to SLE 11 SP2, see the
Deployment Guide.

6.2.4. Online Migration from SP1 to SP2

Online migration from SP1 to SP2 is not supported, if debuginfo packages
are installed.

6.2.5. Graphics Drivers Using KMS

Beginning with SLE11-SP1, we switched to use KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) for
Intel graphics support. This means that mode setting is now done in kernel
space instead of user space (X driver).

If--in rare cases--the new driver concept does not work for you, create an
X.Org configuration manually:

 1. Boot into failsafe mode without X (add "3" to the failsafe mode
    options) and run 'sax2 -r -m 0=fbdev' to create an fbdev based
    xorg.conf.

 2. Then disable KMS permanently by setting the NO_KMS_IN_INITRD sysconfig
    variable to "yes" and run mkinitrd.

 3. Finally, reboot again (normal mode) to activate this new X.Org
    configuration.

6.2.6. Updating KDE

You can update your previous KDE installation (SUSE Linux Enterprise
Desktop 11 or earlier) during system upgrade as described in the manual or
as a package update using YaST or zypper. Because of a huge amount of
package renaming, it is not possible to update your previous KDE
installation using plain rpm commands.

For more information about KDE 4.3, see Section 5.1, "Desktop".

6.2.7. GroupWise 8 Client

We ship the GroupWise 8 client with this release. If you want to keep the
GroupWise 7 client, enter Software Manager and disable the GroupWise
update.

The Groupwise 7 client is available in the extras-repository which can be
enabled after registration.

6.2.8. Kernel Package Split in Subpackages

With SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop11 the kernel RPMs are split into
different parts:

  * kernel-flavor-base

    Very reduced hardware support, intended to be used in virtual machine
    images.

  * kernel-flavor

    Extends the base package; contains all supported kernel modules.

  * kernel-flavor-extra

    All other kernel modules which may be useful but are not supported.
    This package will not be installed by default.

6.2.9. Displaying Manual Pages with the Same Name

The man command now asks which manual page the user wants to see if manual
pages with the same name exist in different sections. The user is expected
to type the section number to make this manual page visible.

If you want to get back the previous behavior, set MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 in
a shell initialization file such as ~/.bashrc.

6.2.10. AppArmor

This release of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop ships with AppArmor. The
AppArmor intrusion prevention framework builds a firewall around your
applications by limiting the access to files, directories, and POSIX
capabilities to the minimum required for normal operation. AppArmor
protection can be enabled via the AppArmor control panel, located in YaST
under Security and Users. For detailed information about using AppArmor,
see the documentation in /usr/share/doc/packages/apparmor-docs.

The AppArmor profiles included with SUSE Linux have been developed with our
best efforts to reproduce how most users use their software. The profiles
provided work unmodified for many users, but some users find our profiles
too restrictive for their environments.

If you discover that some of your applications do not function as you
expected, you may need to use the AppArmor Update Profile Wizard in YaST
(or use the aa-logprof(8) command line utility) to update your AppArmor
profiles. Place all your profiles into learning mode with the following:
aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/*

When a program generates a high number of complaints, the system's
performance is degraded. To mitigate this, we recommend periodically
running the Update Profile Wizard (or aa-logprof(8)) to update your
profiles, even if you choose to leave them in learning mode. This reduces
the number of learning events logged to disk, which improves the
performance of the system.

6.2.11. Fine-Tuning Firewall Settings

SuSEfirewall2 is enabled by default. That means that by default you cannot
log in from remote systems. It also interferes with network browsing and
multicast applications, such as SLP and Samba ("Network Neighborhood"). You
can fine-tune the firewall settings using YaST.

Chapter 7. Driver Updates

7.1. Other Drivers

7.1.1. e1000e Driver Update to version 1.3.16

This new version of the e1000e driver adds support for the following
devices: 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection 82574L Gigabit Network
Connection 82567V-3 Gigabit Network Connection 82579LM Gigabit Network
Connection 82579V Gigabit Network Connection 82583V Gigabit Network
Connection 82567V-4 Gigabit Network Connection 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network
Connection

7.1.2. Support for Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless Adapters

This Service Pack adds support for the following Intel(R) Centrino(R)
Wireless Adapters: - Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 100 and Intel(R)
Centrino(R) Wireless-N 130 (also referred to as Crane Peak WiFi and Crane
Peak WiFi+BT, respectively). - Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 6150,
codename Kelsey Peak. - Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1030 and Intel(R)
Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6230 (also referred to as Rainbow Peak 1 and 2,
respectively). - Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205, codename Taylor Peak

7.1.3. IBM Power Chelsio T4 Adapter cxgb4i Driver

The Chelsio T4 adapter with the cxgb4, cxgb4i, and iw_cxgb4 drivers support
10Ge NIC, iSCSI, and iWARP functions respectively. IBM Power systems
support Enhanced Error Handling (EEH) and Hotplug removal. When hotplug
operations are performed on a running adapter, a crash, hang or failure to
remove the adapter may occur.

A permanent solution in the device drivers is being investigated but may
not be ready in time for GM. Until the maintenance driver is released, it
is necessary to unload all of the cxgb4, cxgb4i, and iw_cxgb4 drivers prior
to running any of the hotplug commands such as 'drmgr -r'.

Once the drivers are unloaded, the adapter can be hotplug moved to another
partition or removed from the system as necessary.

7.1.4. Brocade 10G PCIe Ethernet Adapters (bna)

The bna 3.0.2.2 driver supports all Brocade FC/FCOE adapters. Below is a
list of adapter models with corresponding PCIIDs:

7.2. Storage Drivers

7.2.1. Open-iSCSI Support Added to the QLogic iSCSI qla4xxx Driver

Open-iSCSI support is added to the QLogic iSCSI qla4xxx driver in SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 2. Using iscsiadm the features
supported for qla4xxx are:

  * Network configuration

  * iSCSI Target management enabling Discovery, Login/Logout of iSCSI
    targets

For more details, see Open-iSCSI README at http://www.open-iscsi.org/docs/
README .

Note: The IOCTL support in qla4xxx is dropped and hence QLogic Applications
are not supported with this Inbox driver. This is being targeted for a
future release. The qla4xxx driver compatible with QLogic Applications can
also be obtained from the QLogic Web site.

7.2.2. Broadcom FCoE and iSCSI Enhanced Support for SLE11SP2

Using bnx2fc driver for installation:

Broadcom's NetXtreme II 57712 device provides networking as well as storage
functionality. Boot from SAN on this device is supported over FCoE network
using bnx2fc driver. Add "withfcoe=1" to the boot option line. Since the
DCBX protocol is offloaded and performed by the device firmware, 'dcb'
feature should be turned off during installation when prompted.

Note that FCoE boot from SAN on Broadcom 10G devices is only supported
using the bnx2fc driver. Boot from SAN using the software fcoe driver is
not supported.

For detailed information, refer to "Broadcom NetXtreme II(tm) Network
Adapter User Guide".

Using iSCSI Disks When Installing:

Note: The installer for SLES 11 SP2 now supports iscsi install using
software iscsi method and native Broadcom offload method on Broadcom
NetXtreme II devices.

To use Broadcom offload iSCSI during install, the iSCSI option ROM on the
Broadcom device must be set to HBA mode. Refer to "iSCSI Boot Broadcom
NetXtreme II(tm) Network Adapter User Guide" for detailed information on
iSCSI install/boot for Broadcom devices.

To use software iSCSI install, disable HBA mode in the Broadcom iSCSI
option ROM.

Storage Drivers:

  * Added bnx2i driver for Broadcom NetXtreme II in version 2.7.0.3

  * Added new bnx2fc driver for Broadcom NetXtreme II 57712

Bnx2fc is a FCoE offload driver, that uses open-fcoe's stack and fcoeutils.
Note that SLES 11 SP2 only supports offload FCoE on NetXtreme II 57712.
Refer to Documentation/scsi/bnx2fc.txt in linux kernel source for the
driver usage information.

codename Kelsey Peak. - Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1030 and Intel(R)
Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6230 (also referred to as Rainbow Peak 1 and 2,
respectively). - Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205, codename Taylor Peak

7.3.3. IBM Power Chelsio T4 Adapter cxgb4i Driver

The Chelsio T4 adapter with the cxgb4, cxgb4i, and iw_cxgb4 drivers support
10Ge NIC, iSCSI, and iWARP functions respectively. IBM Power systems
support Enhanced Error Handling (EEH) and Hotplug removal. When hotplug
operations are performed on a running adapter, a crash, hang or failure to
remove the adapter may occur.

A permanent solution in the device drivers is being investigated but may
not be ready in time for GM. Until the maintenance driver is released, it
is necessary to unload all of the cxgb4, cxgb4i, and iw_cxgb4 drivers prior
to running any of the hotplug commands such as 'drmgr -r'.

Once the drivers are unloaded, the adapter can be hotplug moved to another
partition or removed from the system as necessary.

Chapter 8. Other Updates

8.1. Upgrade to gawk 3.1.8

gawk as delivered in SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1, has a low performance
with respect to multibyte string operations.

Carefully considering the changes from 3.1.6 to 3.1.8 we decided that a
version upgrade will significantly help in other areas as well. Find below
the list of important changes:

  * The zero flag no longer applies to %c and %s.

  * Failure to open a socket is no longer a fatal error.

  * The ' flag (%'d) is now just ignored on systems that cannot support it.

  * Gawk now handles multibyte strings better in [s]printf with field
    widths and such.

  * A getline from a directory is no longer fatal; instead it returns -1.

Chapter 9. Technology Previews

Technology Preview features are either not supported or supported in a
limited fashion. These features are mainly included for customer
convenience and be functionally incomplete, unstable or in other ways not
suitable for production use.

9.1. eCryptfs Filesystem

The eCryptfs kernel modules and the ecryptfs-utils package shipped with
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 are a preview of a stacked cryptographic
filesystem for Linux.

9.2. KVM

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 contains KVM as an additional
virtualization solution. It is not supported by SUSE, but is an area of
interest for future development and deliveries.

9.3. Read-Only Root Filesystem

It is possible to run SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 on a read-only root
filesystem. Due to the huge number of possible configurations, this is
currently not a supported scenario.

The /tmp and /var directories need to be on a separate partition and cannot
be mounted read-only.

After the installation has finished and all services are configured, login
as root and do the following modifications:

Modify /etc/fstab and add "ro" to the mount options of the root filesystem
entry.

rm /etc/mtab
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
mkdir /var/lib/hwclock
mv /etc/adjtime /var/lib/hwclock
ln -s /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime /etc/adjtime
# the following two steps are only necessary if you use dhcp:
mv /etc/resolv.conf /var/lib/misc/
ln -s /var/lib/misc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
# Now mount root filesystem read-only and reboot
mount -o remount,ro /
reboot

9.4. Linux Filesystem Capabilities

Our kernel is compiled with support for Linux Filesystem Capabilities. It
is disabled by default. Enable it by adding file_caps=1 as a kernel boot
option.

Chapter 10. Deprecated Functionality

10.1. acroread_ja package removed

The acroread_ja package, a version of Acrobat Reader with Japanese
localisation, has not been seeing any upstream security updates for a while
and hence lacks a large and ever increasing number of critical security
fixes.

To avoid exposing users to severe security risks, we are removing this
package in favor of the general version of Acrobat Reader.

10.2. Support for portmap will end with SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3

In SUSE Linux Enterprise we provide "rpcbind" which for example provides
full IPv6 support; it is compatible with portmap. Thus portmap is
deprecated, and support for portmap will end end with SUSE Linux Enterprise
11 SP3.

10.3. Replacing xpdf-tools

With SP2 we are switching from xpdf-tools to poppler-tools for PDF
rendering. This is based on xpdf-tools, but more stable and better
maintained and it is a seamless replacement.

10.4. L3 Support for Openswan Is Scheduled to Expire

L3 support for Openswan is scheduled to expire. This decision is driven by
the fact that Openswan development stalled substantially and there are no
tangible signs that this will change in the future.

In contrast to this the strongSwan project is vivid and able to deliver a
complete implementation of current standards. Compared to Openswan all
relevant features are available by the package strongSwan plus strongSwan
is the only complete Open Source implementation of the RFC 5996 IKEv2
standard whereas Openswan only implements a small mandatory subset. For now
and the expected future only strongSwan qualifies to be an enterprise-ready
solution for encrypted TCP/IP connectivity.

10.5. Intel Active Management (IAMT)

Intel Active Management (IAMT) drivers have been removed from SUSE Linux
Enterprise due to incompatibilities and no longer being maintained. Refer
to the Intel documentation on how to access newer versions of IAMT drivers
for SUSE Linux Enterprise.

10.6. Dropping the Epiphany Web Browser

In an effort to ensure long term maintainability and given how fast web
technology is evolving and that Firefox features the richtest ecosystem
(plug-ins, add-ons,...) among all web browers, we are focusing on Firefox
as our recommended web browser and are obsoleting the Epiphany browser in
favor it.

10.7. FreeRDP Is Going to Replace rdesktop

In some scenarios, FreeRDP performs better than the rdesktop client, which
is currently available as the Linux RDP client. Thus we add support for
FreeRDP in SUSE Linux Enteprise Desktop 11 SP2. With the upcoming SP3, we
will drop rdesktop in favor of FreeRDP.

10.8. Read-only Support for the ext4 File System for Migration Purposes

To facilitate the migration of an ext4 file system to another, supported
file system, the SLE 11 SP2 kernel now contains a fully supported ext4 file
system module, which provides solely read-only access to the file system.

If read-write access to an ext4 file system is still required, you may
install the ext4-writeable KMP (kernel module package). This package
contains a kernel module that provides read-write access to an ext4 file
system. Be aware, that this kernel module is unsupported.

ext4 is not supported for the installation of the SUSE Linux Enterprise
operating system files

With SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 we support offline migration from ext4 to
the supported btrfs filesystem.

10.9. Removed Packages

The following list of current functionalities has been removed with this
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop release.

  * amor

  * dante

  * powertweak

  * zmd

10.10. Deprecated Packages

The following packages are deprecated and will be removed with SUSE Linux
Enterprise Desktop 12:

  * lprng

  * sendmail

  * qt3

10.11. JFS File System

The JFS file system is no longer supported for new installations. The
kernel file system driver is still available, but YaST does not offer
partitioning with JFS.

Chapter 11. Infrastructure, Package and Architecture Specific Information

11.1. Architecture Independent Information

11.1.1. Changes in Packaging and Delivery

11.1.2. Cross Architecture Information

11.1.2.1. Myricom 10-Gigabit Ethernet Driver and Firmware

SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 (x86, x86_64 and IA64) is using the Myri10GE
driver from mainline Linux kernel. The driver requires a firmware file to
be present, which is not being delivered with SUSE Linux Enterprise 11.

Download the required firmware at http://www.myricom.com.

11.2. AMD64/Intel64 64-Bit (x86_64) and Intel/AMD 32-Bit (x86) Specific
Information

11.2.1. Support for Intel?s next generation PCH for client platforms and
entry level server platforms

The next generation mainstream client and entry level server has a Platform
Controller Hub (PCH) that requires some device ID patches to detect and
drive. The enablement includes SATA, HD Audio, TCO Watchdog, etc.

11.2.2. Detecting and Driving Intel?s 6 Series and C200 Series PCH

The Intel 6 Series and C200 Series Chipset Platform Controller Hub (PCH)
for mainstream clients and entry level servers are now properly detected
and supported. The enablement includes SATA, HD Audio, TCO Watchdog, etc.

11.2.3. Virtualization

11.2.3.1. Update to XEN Version 4.1.2

11.2.3.2. Removing 32-Bit XEN Hypervisor

With SLE 11 SP2, we removed the 32-bit hypervisor as a virtualization host.
32-bit virtual guests are not affected and are fully supported with the
provided 64-bit hypervisor.

Chapter 12. Technical Information

This section contains a number of technical changes and enhancements for
the experienced user.

12.1. Boot Device Larger Than 2 TiB

Due to limitations of the legacy x86 and x86_64 BIOS implementations
booting from devices larger than 2 TiB is technically not possible using
legacy partition tables (DOS MBR).

With SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 Service Pack 1 we support
installation and boot using uEFI on the x86_64 architecture and certified
hardware.

12.2. Better Sound Functionality with Pulseaudio 0.9.11 or Higher

For better sound functionality we strongly recommend that pulseaudio 0.9.14
or higher is installed. This version is available via maintenance channels
for SUSE Linux Enterprise systems registered with SUSE.

12.3. netconfig Utility to Apply Additional Network Settings

The modify_resolvconf script is removed in favor of the more versatile
netconfig script. This new script handles specific network settings from
multiple sources more flexibly and transparently. For more information, see
the updated manuals and the netconfig man-page.

12.4. Atheros Wireless Cards

Instead of the madwifi driver the ath5k/ath9k in-kernel replacement is now
available. ath5k/ath9k does not support access point mode yet, but normal
networks (infrastructure and ad-hoc) are well supported by the new driver.

12.5. Detecting Lenovo ThinkPad Laptops

Lenovo ThinkPad laptops have special code in the MBR (master boot record)
because of the "Blue ThinkVantage button" functionality. If proper
detection and preparation fails, it might be necessary to restore the boot
sector.

If you have a ThinkPad, ensure that the bootloader is not installed into
the MBR (verify it in the installation proposal!) and the MBR is not
rewritten by generic code (in installation proposel select Bootloader ->
Boot Loader Installation -> Boot Loader Options -> Write Generic Boot Code
to MBR -- should be unchecked).

If your MBR gets rewritten, the ThinkVantage button will not work anymore.
The back-up of the MBR is stored in /var/lib/YaST2/backup_boot_sectors/.

12.6. Stopping Cron Status Messages

To avoid the mail-flood caused by cron status messages, the default value
of SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR in /etc/sysconfig/cron is now set to "no" for new
installations. Even with this setting to "no", cron data output will still
be send to the MAILTO address, as documented in the cron manpage.

In the update case it is recommended to set these values according to your
needs.

12.7. Kernel Limits

12.8. File Systems

12.8.1. Support for the btrfs File System

Btrfs is a copy-on-write (CoW) general purpose file system. Based on the
CoW functionality, btrfs provides snapshoting. Beyond that data and
metadata checksums improve the reliability of the file system. btrfs is
highly scalable, but also supports online shrinking to adopt to real-life
environments. On appropriate storage devices btrfs also supports the TRIM
command.

Support

With SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 the btrfs file system is supported as
root file system, i.e. the file system for the operating system, across all
architectures of SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2. Customers are advised to use
the YaST partitioner (or AutoYaST) to build their systems: YaST will
prepare the btrfs file system for use with subvolumes and snapshots.
Snapshots will be automatically enabled for the root file system using
SUSE's snapper infrastructure. For more information about snapper, it's
integration into ZYpp and YaST, and the YaST snapper module, see the SUSE
Linux Enterprise documentation.

Offline-Migration from existing "ext" file systems (ext2, ext3, ext4) is
supported.

RAID

Btrfs is supported on top of MD (multiple devices) and DM (device mapper)
configurations. Please use the YaST partitioner to achieve a proper setup.

Future Plans

  * We are planning to announce support for btrfs' built-in multi volume
    handling and RAID in a later version of SUSE Linux Enterprise.

  * Transparent compression is implemented and mature. We are planning to
    support this functionality in the YaST partitioner in a future release.

  * We are commited to actively work on the btrfs file system with the
    community, and we keep customers and partners informed about progress
    and experience in terms of scalability and performance. This may also
    apply to cloud and cloud storage infrastructures.

Online Check and Repair Functionality

Check and repair functionality ("scrub") is available as part of the btrfs
command line tools. "Scrub" is aimed to verify data and metadata assuming
the tree structures are fine. "Scrub" can (and should) be run periodically
on a mounted file system: it runs as a background process during normal
operation.

With the release of SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2, the long awaited
"fsck.btrfs" tool is available in the SUSE Linux Enterprise update
repositories.

Capacity Planning

If you are planning to use btrfs with its snapshot capability, it is
advisable to reserve twice as much disk space than the standard storage
proposal. This is automatically done by the YaST2 partitioner for the root
file system.

Hard Link Limitation

In order to provide a more robust file system, btrfs incorporates back
references for all file names, eliminating the classic "lost+found"
directory added during recovery. A temporary limitation of this approach
affects the number of hard links in a single directory that link to the
same file. The limitation is dynamic based on the length of the file names
used. A realistic average is approximately 150 hard links. When using 255
character file names, the limit is 14 links. We intend to raise the
limitation to a more usable limit of 65535 links in a future maintenance
update.

More information about btrfs can be found in the SUSE Linux Enterprise 11
documentation.

12.9. Other Technical Information

  * Locale Settings in ~/.i18n

    If you are not satisfied with locale system defaults, change the
    settings in ~/.i18n. Entries in ~/.i18n override system defaults from /
    etc/sysconfig/language. Use the same variable names but without the RC_
    namespace prefixes. For example, use LANG instead of RC_LANG. For
    information about locales in general, see "Language and
    Country-Specific Settings" in the Administration Guide.

  * Configuration of kdump

    The kernel is crashing or otherwise not behaving normally and a kernel
    core dump needs to be captured for analysis.

    A description on how to setup kdump can be found at http://
    www.novell.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=
    3374462&sliceId=SAL_Public.

  * Realtime Applications

    When running real-time applications on larger systems, lower maximum
    latencies can be achieved by employing the new disable_buffer_lru
    kernel command-line option. This disables the per-CPU LRU in the buffer
    cache, and may thus decrease overall filesystem performance.

  * JPackage Standard for Java Packages

    Java packages are changed to follow the JPackage Standard (http://
    www.jpackage.org/). Read the documentation in /usr/share/doc/packages/
    jpackage-utils/ for information.

  * Loading Unsupported Kernel Drivers

    Every kernel module has a 'supported' flag. If this flag is not set,
    then loading this module will taint the kernel. Kernels which are
    tainted are not supported. To avoid this, unsupported Kernel modules
    are part of an extra RPM (kernel-<flavor>-extra). Since this would a
    problem for most desktops, the loading of those drivers is allowed by
    default.

    To prevent the loading of unsupported kernel drivers automatically
    during boot, change the line allow_unsupported_modules 1 in /etc/
    modprobe.d/unsupported-modules to allow_unsupported_modules 0.

  * Nonexecutable Stack

    Already introduced for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 9 on the x86-64
    (AMD64) architecture with 64-bit kernels, the Linux kernel in SUSE
    Linux Enterprise Desktop also supports nonexecutable stack (NX) on x86
    for CPUs that support it (Intel Prescott and AMD64) with 32-bit
    kernels. For this to work, the kernel with PAE support, kernel-pae,
    must be installed. Go into YaST and install that kernel instead of your
    default kernel. For 64-bit kernels, all kernels support NX.

    The nonexecutable stack improves the security of your system. Many
    security vulnerabilities are stack overflows, where an attacker
    overwrites the stack of your program by feeding oversized data to the
    application that fails to properly check the length. Depending on the
    details of the program (with a nonexecutable stack), these
    vulnerabilities may either not be exploitable (and only crash the
    program, resulting in a Denial of Service) or at least be significantly
    harder to exploit.

    Some applications do require executable stacks. The compiler detects
    this during compilation and marks the binaries accordingly. The kernel
    enables an executable stack to allow them to work.

    To provide a higher level of security on x86-64, the user can pass
    noexec=on on the kernel command line. The kernel then uses a
    nonexecutable stack unconditionally and also marks the data section of
    a program as nonexecutable. This provides a higher protection level
    than just the nonexecutable stack, but potentially causes problems for
    some applications. SUSE has not found any problems during testing the
    most commonly used applications and services. Because it is not the
    default, this has not been tested as extensively as the stack
    protection alone, so SUSE only recommends this setup for servers after
    the administrator has verified that all needed services continue to
    function properly.

12.9.1. Storing Log Files on the tmpfs File System Is Unsupported

Ensure all your logs go through permanent local storage or the network. For
example, putting /var/log on a tmpfs file system means that they will not
survive a system boot. This limits your ability, and the one of SUSE, to
analyze log files in case of a support request.

Exceptions are configurations where you save log files via syslog on a
remote log server and permanently store the log files on the log server.
Note: Not all log files can be redirected to a remote log server (e.g.
yast-logs, boot logs and others); if these files are not available, support
may be very hard to effectively diagnose issues and support the system.

Chapter 13. Known Issues

13.1. Latest Release Notes

For the latest version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 Release Notes,
see http://www.novell.com/linux/releasenotes/i586/SUSE-SLED/11/.

13.2. Network Issues After Updating

If you were using a static IP with NetworkManager, you will lose this
configuration while updating from SLED 10 SP4 to SLED 11. You must re-enter
this information. The traditional networking method with ifup is not
affected by this issue.

Name server lookup information of resolv.conf configured with the
traditional networking method with ifup is missing after updating.

13.3. Java Plug-In

There are two plug-ins available on 32-bit systems (i586): the latest
version of the Java plug-in (libnpjp2.so), and the legacy version
(libjavaplugin_oji.so). Both are installed in the system if you install
Java, but the new version is active. Some plug-ins using Java have problems
with this version. If you are affected by it, change the link of /etc/
alternatives/javaplugin to point to the legacy plug-in. Be warned, this may
cause other problems.

Note, on 64-bit systems (x86_64) no legacy version of the plug-in is
available. In case of trouble with the default 64-bit version of the new
plug-in (libnpjp2.so), switch to the 32-bit version of Firefox and Sun Java
using YaST.

13.4. Kopete Lacks IRC Support

Kopete as shipped with KDE4 does not support the IRC protocol. Install and
use xchat, if you want to participate in IRC messaging.

13.5. Hardware Related Issues

13.5.1. Limited Graphics Support on IBM SurePOS 700 4800-7X3 during
Installation

There is only limited graphics support on IBM SurePOS 700 4800-7X3 systems
with 4820-2GN monitors. During a graphical installation you can encounter
an error message from the monitor (OSD = On Screen Display) such as:

OUT OF RANGE
H: -48.4 KHz V: -60.1 Hz.

To work around this issue try a different resolution, VESA or text-mode for
installation. Another option is to choose the native driver by specifying
acceleratedx=1 on the boot prompt. It might also help to update the BIOS.

After system installation the problem no longer occurs and the graphics
system is fully supported.

13.5.2. Graphical Distortions on the FIC GE2 Plattform (Transtec SENYO600)

On the FIC GE2 platform (when using 24 BPP color depth and resolutions >=
1280x1024 on the DVI interface) stripes are displayed on the X server. This
distorts all windows.

Changing to 16 BPP color depth seems to solve this problem.
