[opensuse] cli find cmd syntax

Hi, I am endeavouring to print a list of my Maildir folders to a file so that I can use that same list when I construct a Procmailrc file. Initially I ran ~> find $HOME/Maildir -type d -print | sort > /home/hylton/maillistdir **sample snip*** /home/hylton/Maildir/.INBOX.A-F.Bookstores.Kalahari /home/hylton/Maildir/.INBOX.A-F.Bookstores.Kalahari/courierimapkeywords /home/hylton/Maildir/.INBOX.A-F.Bookstores.Kalahari/cur /home/hylton/Maildir/.INBOX.A-F.Bookstores.Kalahari/new /home/hylton/Maildir/.INBOX.A-F.Bookstores.Kalahari/tmp ******** I noticed that there were many sub-folders I did not need. Given this list ended up being 273pg, after a short stint at editing it I decided there had to be a way to exclude certain folders. What I need is the namesand paths of the folders ie /home/hylton/Maildir/.INBOX.A-F.Bookstores.Kalahari , not the /cur, /tmp, /new or even the /courierimapkeywords sub-folders. So far I have: ~> find $HOME/Maildir -type d $ ! -name tmp $ -o $ ! -name cur $ -o $ ! -name new $ -o $ ! -name courierimapkeywords $ | -print | sort > /home/hylton/maillistdir The above command returns a 'Command not found' in my destination file of maillistdir. I have RTFM'd, Googled and still cannot find an example of what I want to do. I even visited the sites Aaron Digulla gave me on an earlier pointing to the complexities of find. Any more help appreciated Tnx Hylton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] grub2 installation onto mdraid raid device
by Istvan Gabor 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

Hello: Here is what I would like to do: I have a system with two linux OSs, both are installed on mdraid raid1. I would like to install grub2 on the root partitions/devices of the given OSs, and a grub2 on MBR. The MBR grub2 would only chainload the other grub2 on the root partition. Is this possible, how? I tried to install grub2 on /dev/md2 using grub-install /dev/md2 and grub-setup /dev/md2 but apparently it hasn't succeeded, I can not chainload it. I would not like to have the real loader on MBR.

[opensuse] Odd SAMBA/BTRFS problem?
by Moby 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

openSUSE 13.2 machine with btrfs for / Running samba-4.1.14-3.3.x86_64. Samba is configured to have the server act as a member server in a Windows Activedirectory domain. wbinfo -u and getent passwd work fine. getent passwd shows local and domain users. However, setfacl -n -R -m u:userX:rwx /testpath fails if userX is a domain user, but succeeds if userX is a local user. Using different specifications for userX ('domain\userX') still fail. Same testing, with almost identical smb.conf and other settings, works just fine on a opensuse 13.1 machine with ext4 running samba-4.1.14-3.2.i586 Any ideas or help in resolving the failure on opensuse 13.2 are much appreciated. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] High power consumption Laptop
by Jan Ritzerfeld 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

Hey, after installing 13.2 I'm struggling with several problems. One of the problems I haven't been able to solve yet, is the high power consumption of a ThinkPad T430s with Ivy bridge and Intel HD Graphics (NVidia Optimus is completely disabled via the BIOS). After activating powersave for Intel WiFi and Intel HDA Sound, the old 13.1 installation consumes about 8.5W at 60% screen brightness.[0] Under the same prerequisites, the 13.2 installation consumes 10.5W, i.e., 25% more. Powertop is clueless and thinks the display backlight consumes 9W ( and at 0% brightness 7W). According to http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTc3NTE there is a power regression in the Intel Graphics driver. Although the underlying change should only affect Haswell, there are reports that Ivy Bridge might suffer, too. However, forcing Frame Buffer Compression does not considerably reduce the power consumption of the 13.2 installation. Any ideas? Gruß Jan [0] When enabling SATA ALPM 1-2 W less but the Intel 520 Series SSD has a bug that could yield to data loss. -- You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dsl network connection type setup in yast
by Istvan Gabor 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

Hello: The question applies to openSUSE 13.1, 13.2, possibly older versions too. What is the correct method to set up DSL network in YAST? What I would like to know exactly, what to choose in YAST Control Center -> Network Devices -> Network Settings -> Overview -> Edit -> Network Card Setup -> Address tab. There are three options there: - No Link and IP Setup (Bonding Slaves) - Dynamic Address x) DHCP x) DHCP + Zeroconf x) Zeroconf - Statically assigned IP Address If I know correctly DSL does not use DHCP, but I don't have and assigned static IP address either. The provider assigns an IP address at every connection but not by DHCP (?) . If I set it to DHCP (in oS 12.2), network connection works but I have in /var/log/messages many: eth0: broadcasting for a lease eth0: timed out So, what is the correct setting?

[opensuse] Persistent Binding - udev rules
by PmB 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Hi, I have a system (openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)) which has three tape drives on it; HP Ultrium 2-SCSI 460, HP Ultrium 4-SCSI 1840 and IBM ULT3580-HH5. I have the following settings in a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules # HP Ultrium 2-SCSI 460 KERNEL=="st0", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350060b00001e5919", NAME="st0", MODE="666" KERNEL=="nst0", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350060b00001e5919-nst", NAME="nst0", MODE="666" # IBM ULT3580-HH5 KERNEL=="st1", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350050763120d0ce3", NAME="st1", MODE="666" KERNEL=="nst1", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350050763120d0ce3-nst", NAME="nst1", MODE="666" # HP Ultrium 4-SCSI 1840 KERNEL=="st2", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350060b0000ba6366", NAME="st2", MODE="666" KERNEL=="nst2", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350060b0000ba6366-nst", NAME="nst2", MODE="666" so that there are persistent bindings for the three tape drives: Ultrium 2-SCSI /dev/st0 & /dev/nst0 ULT3580-HH5 /dev/st1 & /dev/nst1 Ultrium 4-SCSI /dev/st2 & /dev/nst2 Following a system reboot, and using 'lsscsi' I get the following [5:0:0:0] tape IBM ULT3580-HH5 C7RD /dev/st1 [6:0:3:0] tape HP Ultrium 4-SCSI B32D /dev/st0 [7:0:6:0] tape HP Ultrium 2-SCSI F3AD /dev/st2 Following a subsequent reboot I get [5:0:0:0] tape IBM ULT3580-HH5 C7RD /dev/st0 [6:0:6:0] tape HP Ultrium 2-SCSI F3AD /dev/st2 [7:0:3:0] tape HP Ultrium 4-SCSI B32D /dev/st1 Neither of which is following the defined rules. More system reboots can result in the correct device bindings, sometimes not. Can anyone look through what I have; correct it (me) where I have it wrong; point me in the correct direction; or let me know that I can't do as I want.

[opensuse] underperforming internet connection
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

I am connected with the internet with the only internet provider in my area. This is ADSL with a download speed of max. 1.5 Mbps and and upload speed of about 0,40 Mbps. I could live with these speeds if the connection would be reliable. If it rains or if there are strong winds, the connection goes dead and it will take some time to reconnect (several minutes). The company which owns the telephone lines is not impressed by my connection problems and does not react to complaints. They tell me that next year or so we may get our connection over glass-fiber cables. In order to make some weight with my complaints and getting at least a reliable connection I am looking for a program which logs at least the times that I loose connection. Speed is of no interest for the moment. Somebody know of a program doing just that? -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 and LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 20141221 (i586) Kernel: 3.16.6-2-default KDE Development Platform: 4.14.3 13:09pm up 4:44, 3 users, load average: 0.72, 0.55, 0.56 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse 13.2 tumbleweed all updates applied
by ianseeks 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hi I've had 2 complete lockups today, Had to poke it in the eye to reboot as keyboard was frozen, the mouse moved okay but unable to click on anything. Ctrl, Alt Backspace was not a option. The HDU light was still flashing every couple of seconds so the machine was still running. I left it on the second time for a couple of hours to see if it sorted itelks out - no luck. Both times I had Chromium open with about 8 tabs active, i was copying text from one tab to a Libreoffice document and the lock up happened during this process both times. I've never had this problem before. I used to use Opera for most of my browsing but as 12.16 is getting flaky as it falls behind (i.e. backtab doesn;t always work) and never encountered this problem. Anyone else had this issue? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1 bootable USB stick
by Gustav Degreef 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hello, I am trying to create a bootable USB thumb drive. I downloaded the liveKDE64bit iso and followed the procedure outlined in the SDB. I did: Created 2 primary partitions on the drive, sdb1 - 10 Gb and sdb2 - 4 Gb, both ext4. as root ran dd if=/mnt/iso/openSUSE-13.1-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M The drive boots into a grub prompt only, but no menu appears. I reformatted sdb1 and tried again using virtually the sme command except using bs=1M and the process was finished ran "sync". This was suggested on another web page for suse 13.1. The result is the same, just a grub boot prompt. I could, at the prompt, set the root device, the kernel and the initrd and boot, but it is cumbersome to do it every time. Any pointers on how to get the normal boot menu (that is on the dvd) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Gustav -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
