Ein neuer Monat, eine neue Konferenz! Diesen Monat haben wir ein #SUSECON23-Special für euch: neben einem Recap wartet auch ein Interview mit Don Vosburg und Miguel Pérez Colino über SUSE Manager in eurem Podcatcher.
For those needing to work with TAR.BZ2 files and using SUSE, the solution, though simple:
sudo zypper install bzip2
Or if using SUSE's transactional distribution, such as Micro OS, for example.
sudo transactional-update pkg install bzip2
Then reboot.
Every mainstream distribution from Debian to Ubuntu to Red Hat to Arch Linux has this setup out of the box, but SUSE wants to be "different" for no reason. 🙄
It does not matter what edition of SUSE you use either.
openSUSE Tumbleweed
openSUSE Leap
MicroOS
SUSE Enterprise Desktop
No matter if you install from the ISO or perform a network installation, the simple BZIP library used to extract TAR.BZ2 archives is missing and must be manually installed.
Why SUSE excludes this basic functionality out of the box, while every possible mainstream Linux distro I can think of includes it; is indeed a mystery and pet peeve of mine.
I confirm they work very well. In Enterprise environments the only problem is to get IT Managers to accept a different distribution from RHEL... But we can help you with this.
🐧 SUSE will fork Red Hat Enterprise Linux
by@sjvn@mastodon.social
「 In deciding it would fork RHEL, SUSE declared it would invest more than $10 million toward the development and maintenance of an RHEL-compatible distribution available to all without restrictions」
> Fin 2020, #RedHat secouait le monde Linux en annonçant la fin de #CentOS, au profit d’un nouveau fonctionnement pour les participations des développeurs tiers. La société franchit un autre cap en limitant l’accès à son code source, provoquant la colère d’Oracle et diverses réactions, dont celle de #SUSE.
Not going to lie, I wouldn't be unhappy to see an #opensource arms race of sorts in the commercial #Linux space. So far, #SUSE is the only one that has obviously done anything actionable, to my knowledge, around the rhetoric. If #Oracle wants to step up and fix CDDL/GPL compatibility or opensource the PUEL parts of #VirtualBox, now would be a great time to step up to the plate and take a swing.
@charliechan@jamesrylandmiller I'm not moving away from #Fedora. I have been picking up #SUSE and #OpenSUSE at work, though, and it is excellent. Fedora and OpenSUSE are both great distros on their own merits. Equally, if not more, important is that they both have a very enthusiastic and engaged community user base. Whether you end up using Fedora or OpenSUSE, there's a lot to be happy about with both of them.
"Today SUSE [...] announced it is forking publicly available Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and will develop and maintain a RHEL-compatible distribution available to all without restrictions."
@9to5linux This is quite vague announcement. It seems to me #SUSE just uses it to make themselves visible. Not a single word how exactly would it differ from #Stream. Or if they would just replace RH packages with SUSE sources, different from #RHEL.
Does the RHEL Fork announcement affect openSUSE? (en.opensuse.org)
tl:dr...
