[opensuse] migration from openSUSE 12.3 to 13.2 - from ifup to wicked
by Paul Neuwirth 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Hi, I struggled long to migrate fully from initd to systemd. Now before I do the step from 12.3 to 13.2, i have concerns of ifup being replaced. Not much answers found googling around. A. can ifup be used instead of wicked B. is migration easy? following setup (IPv4 only): 2 physical network cards (RTL8111/8168) eth0: LAN (DHCPd running on the machine) eth1: (static ip) as connection to VDSL2 modem dsl0: PPPoE dial-up device lo tun0: openvpn server running tun1: vpnc connection (manually created on demand using vpnc) isdn0: backup ISDN dial-in connection (started manually) modem0: backup UMTS dial-in connection (started manually) C. firewall configuration I adjusted SuSEfirewall2 configuration a lot (routing,masquerading,forwarding,...) and added custom scripts for traffic shaping using tc and iptables. have i take care of anything regarding this? Thank's a lot in advance for any info/hints. It is very hard to find information about, especially point C.

Unlike Farrugut's order at the Battle of Mobile Bay, going full-speed ahead is not going to achieve any useful objectives, yet the dangers of systemd are still there. For one, systemd is making APPLICATIONS now dependant on the systemd API, which means when even the biggest fanboys here, at Redhat, and other distributions finally are forced to admit that systemd is a crock of shit.... we won't be able to remove it.... in other words, unlike Farragut, the probability of eventually being blown out of the water by a systemd torpedo is 100%. SysV init has problems, but without a doubt, it does NOT present itself as being a massive security hole, nor present the risk of making a system unbootable. > > Cheers, Mark > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No sound in Minecraft
by Mike 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

I've asked on the minecraft forums without a response so I'm trying here in case that it might be a SuSE configuration issue. I do not have sound in the game. This has been a problem for several versions nowCurently running 1.7.5. I've also tried the last 2 snapshots. I can play music fine and was able to play the sound files in .mineraft/assets/objects/* via Amarok. I have deleted the assets folder and had re-downloaded everything. I looked in the bug list and I found a few sound related issues, but they suggested that there was some sounds. The log only mentions minecraft:mob.witch.idle, but there are no sounds at all in game, but in options everything is set to 100%. I tried to force an older version in profile editor but still no sound going back to 1.4.2. I see a java Playback Stream in the mixer and volume is 100% there too. Any ideas?

[opensuse] Firefox 34.0.5
by Basil Chupin 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

What is it with this version of Firefox 34.0.5?! It decides at random times to SHUTDOWN and RESTART - all by itself! I have seen this happen when I am viewing a TV channel (using VLC) and FF then "overwrites" what I am watching. At first I thought that this had something to do with some relationship between VLC and Firefox v 34.0.5 but this is not the case: Firefox just simply restarts even though I am doing something else! This has NEVER happened with previous versions of Firefox. So, why is 34.0.5 so "special" (and such a PITA)? BTW, this restart by FF occurred a few minutes ago while I am using *Tumbleweed* (contrary to what you read below in my Signature line) and it also has occurred in 13.1 and 13.2 - hence this post. Something to do with the AddOns I am using, you say? Hardly think so as I have been using the same AddOns for years and FF has never behaved as it does now. Anybody else having similar experience, or know of why this is occurring? As I said this is a random occurrence (although at one time I thought I noticed that it occurs ~120 minutes after I start viewing a TV channel).

[opensuse] DenyHosts daemon mode on openSUSE 11.3
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi, I am trying to run DenyHosts on OS 11.3. I can get it to sync and update the hosts.deny file, but with "rcdenyhosts status" it reports as being "unused" just after I started it with "rcdenyhosts start". I tried also with yast, setting up as a service (daemon) and starting it. It also stops immediately. In the denyhosts.log file there is no error info, just what it used to set it up at start. I've gone through the configs several times, no joy. Anyone got DenyHosts running properly? :-/ Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Migrating from HDD to SSD
by Rodney Baker 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Hi all. A question for those with a little more experience with SSD's. I want to move oS 13.1 from conventional HDD's to a 128GB SSD, everything except /home. /var and some other general data storage partitions (so basically /boot, /, /usr, /usr/local and /opt. I have these already as separate partitions - can I use dd to copy the boot sector and relevant partitions to the SSD and then connect it up in place of the first hdd (currently /dev/sda) and expect the system to boot? Would it be better to dd the boot sector, then create the new partitions and rsync them across? Yes, I will need to adjust fstab to point to the relocated partitions, but I'd rather not do a full re-install if I don't need to. Thanks in advance, & Happy New Year.

[opensuse] updating bios with windows/dos utility
by Peter 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

Just replaced the motherboard in my Dell Latitude D630 laptop but it comes with an older version of the BIOS installed (A15), and it's apparently quite critical that I have at least A16 (my old motherboard had A17). Of course Dell only supply a Windows/DOS update utility. I found this page detailing how to make it work with FreeDOS: http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos… But it seems either out of date or not relevant to openSUSE since I cannot get 'loop' to show in /proc/filesystems, even after installing a couple of dependencies I thought may be related. So instead of creating a file FDOEM.144 with my BIOS update patched into it I just get a directory /tmp/floppy created and nothing else. Anybody know how to adapt this to work under openSUSE 13.2?

[opensuse] SuSE 13.1: digikam changes photos
by MarkusGMX 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hello, how do I tell digikam to keep the downloaded photos as they are, not adding anything? digikam alsways seems to insert e.g. "Processing Software : digiKam-3.5.0 Software : digiKam-3.5.0" into the exif data. Is there some "do not touch" mode? Did not find anything in the manpage. If that is not possible: which other camera software can I use to download photos from the camera? Any official release of exfat software for SuSE 13.1 to directly read the SDXC card?
