[opensuse] USB3 throughput
by Greg Freemyer 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

All, I happened to run a USB3 throughput test recently and it wrote 5 TB in 7 hours. I used a USB3 hub to let me hook up 5 1 TB drives and wrote to them simultaneously. That's about 200 MB / sec. It's the first time I've ever apparently saturated USB3. Does anyone know if 200MB / sec is a good max USB3 throughput? fyi: Per the spec, it should be possible to hit 500MB/sec., but real world seldom hits the spec limits so 200MB/sec may be as good as it gets. If not, I may need to look for a better USB3 hub. (I do a lot of high bandwidth transfers in my job.)

[opensuse] NTP clock slow
by James Knott 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

I run NTP to set my computer clock and the time is displayed on the task bar. I can also check the time on a U.S. government web site and on a clock that's synced to WWVB, the U.S. National Bureau of Standards time signal. My computer clock tends to be about a half second behind the other two. I though NTP was supposed to be able to do better than that. I connect to the time.nrc.ca NTP server, which is run by the National Research Council in Ottawa, which is the primary time standard for Canada. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox Location-Aware Browsing ?
by Per Jessen 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Just wondering out loud - why is Firefox occasionally asking me for permission to share information that the webserver will have (or have access to) any way? > By default, Firefox uses Google Location Services to determine your > location by sending: > > your computer’s IP address, > information about the nearby wireless access points, and > a random client identifier, which is assigned by Google, that > expires every 2 weeks. All Firefox has is my (private) IP-address, so why bother asking when the webserver knows it too?? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Anyone who's going to be, or wants to be, in or near Australia and/or New Zealand in January 2015, please read on... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [lca-announce] linux.conf.au 2015 opens call for presentations Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:58:00 +1000 (EST) From: linux.conf.au Announcements <lca-announce(a)lists.linux.org.au> Reply-To: lca-announce(a)lists.linux.org.au To: lca-announce(a)lists.linux.org.au === linux.conf.au Call For Proposals === The call for proposals for linux.conf.au 2015 is now open! The conference is a meeting place for the free and open source software communities. It will be held in Auckland at the University of Auckland Business School from Monday 12 to Friday 16 January, 2015, and provides a unique opportunity for open source developers, students, users and hackers to come together, share new ideas and collaborate. === Important Dates === * Call for Proposals opens 9 June 2014 * Call for Proposals closes 13 July 2014 * Email acceptances start September 2014 * Early bird registrations open 23 September 2014 * Conference dates: Monday 12 January to Friday 16 January, 2015 === Information on Proposals === The linux.conf.au 2015 papers committee is looking for a broad range of proposals, and will consider submissions on anything from programming and software, to desktop, mobile, gaming, userspace, community, government, space, and education. There is only one rule: *Your proposal must be related to open source* This year, the papers committee is going to be focused on open source in education as well as our usual focus on deep technical content. The conference is to a large extent what the speakers make it: if we receive heaps of excellent submissions on a topic, then itâs sure to be represented at the conference. Hereâs a few ideas to get you started: * Clouds, data centers and scalability. * Community challenges; legal threats; education and outreach. * Documentation for open source projects. * HTML5; multimedia codecs. * Kernel developments; new architectures. * Open hardware; embedded systems; wearable computing. * Security; privacy; anonymity. * Networking; Software defined networking; bufferbloat; network function virtualization. * Software development; programming languages. * Sysadmin and automation. linux.conf.au is known for presentations and tutorials that are strongly technical in nature, but proposals for presentations on other aspects of free software and open culture, such as educational and cultural applications of open source, are welcome. === Code of Conduct === linux.conf.au welcomes first-time and seasoned speakers from all free and open communities: people of all ages, genders, nationalities, ethnicities, backgrounds, religions, abilities, and walks of life. We respect and encourage diversity at our conference. By agreeing to present at or attend the conference, you are agreeing to abide by the terms and conditions (http://lca2015.linux.org.au/cor/terms_and_conditions). We also expect all speakers and delegates to have read and understood our Code of Conduct (http://lca2015.linux.org.au/cor/code_of_conduct). === Format === There are three different ways that you can present your content: * Presentations * Tutorials * Mini conferences _Presentations_ Presentations are 45 minute slots that are generally presented in lecture format. These form the bulk of the available conference slots. _Tutorials_ Tutorials are 100 minutes long, and are generally presented in a classroom format. They should be interactive or hands-on in nature. Tutorials are expected to have a specific learning outcome for attendees. _Mini conferences_ Miniconfs are one or two day long sessions on a specific topic. A separate CFP form will be used to propose and select miniconfs, and is available at http://lca2015.linux.org.au/miniconf-cfp === Speaker Information === In recognition of the value that speakers bring to our conference, once a proposal is accepted a speaker is entitled to: * Free registration, which holds all of the benefits of a Professional Delegate Ticket * Exclusive tickets to the Speakers' Dinner for the speaker and their immediate family * One free family ticket to the Partners' Programme If your proposal includes more than one speaker, these additional speakers are not entitled to free registration or to any extra benefits. linux.conf.au does not and will not pay speakers to present at the conference. linux.conf.au is able to provide limited financial assistance for some speakers, for instance, where the cost of flights or accommodation might prohibit a speaker from attending. Please note, however, that there is a limited budget for travel assistance and that asking for assistance could affect your chances of acceptance. === Recording and Licensing === To increase the number of people that can view your presentation, linux.conf.au might record your talk and make it publicly available after the event. When submitting your proposal you will be asked to release materials relating to your presentation under a Creative Commons ShareAlike License.

[opensuse] 11.2 Rsync command clarification
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hi, As a fairly long time subscriber to this list and running Os 11.2 and looking at making a backup of my home directory to a locally connected NAS device that is owned by the root user. That is part of what will enable me to update to 13.2 on release. My current user can use 'sudo' but it is the syntax of the rsync command that is stopping me from executing as rsync can apparently be a BEAST if used incorrectly. I have read and re-read the man pages as well as doing some Google searches and reading Suse Linux Toolbox by Chris Negus. Many of references show copying from a remote host or using a remote daemon. Since I am doing it all locally I hope the list can help i.e. I am at the terminal on the machine that holds the information to be backed up and also has the Drobo is connected. My reading has given me that the command reads: >rsync [options] source dest I assume the 'source' mentioned is what I want to backup and the dest is the location I want the backup? My command so far is: $> sudo rsync -avPh /home root@Umalusi:/drobo/backup-'date +%A'/ This would, I believe, recursively copy all items in the /home directory, archiving files and folders, being verbose, and provide a human readable progress indicator, and place them in a dated folder on the backup medium with path being /Drobo. Since it is copying onto a root file-system is sudo still required or would it not still request the root password? Can you answer any of the queries, correct my command syntax, or redirect my thinking? Help towards using the cli property is the main aim, besides doing the backup etc etc. Your thoughts?
