[opensuse] New package signing keys every day?
by Bjoern Voigt 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Every day Zypper or PackageKit asks me, if I want to accept the new package key. Only the Virtualization repository shows this problem. Answering with "a" (trust always) does not help. Setup: - openSUSE 13.2 - some additional repositories including "Virtualization" repository $ zypper ref Repository 'KDE:Extra' is up to date. Repository 'KDE Frameworks 5 development repository (openSUSE_13.2)' is up to date. Repository 'Kernel Builds for stable (standard)' is up to date.

[opensuse] Anyone installed openSUSE on an ASUS Zenbook UX305?
by Bob Williams 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

I'm thinking of getting an ASUS ZenBook UX305 for my wife. It comes with Windows 10 preloaded, but we would prefer to put openSUSE on it instead. Has anyone tried this? Successful? Any gotchas to look out for? I read a review <http://opensource.com/life/15/8/beautiful-super-thin-laptop-makes-fedora-sh…> which sounds very optimistic, but he couldn't boot the machine from a USB stick with installation media, even when Secure Boot was disabled.

[opensuse] Seamonkey 2.38 is unstable
by Bjoern Voigt 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Is anyone using Seamonkey 2.38 successfully? My Seamonkey is very unstable. If it is crashing (directly during session restore or after some minutes of Web surfing) I always get this exception: Assertion failure: !mRunningSyncSections, at /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/seamonkey/mozilla/widget/nsBaseAppShell.cpp:356 #01: ???[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0x1c24990] #02: ???[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0xc2eaf0] #03: NS_InvokeByIndex[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0xc34d42] #04: ???[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0xfcaad3] #05: ???[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0xfd060d] #06: ???[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0x267d255] #07: ???[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0x267722a] #08: ???[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0x267ce15] #09: ???[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0x267d1ae] #10: ???[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0x267e827] #11: ???[/usr/lib64/seamonkey/libxul.so +0x280933d] #12: ??? (???:???) I tried both the official Seamonkey online update for openSUSE 13.2 and the update from download.opensuse.org-mozilla repo. Both are crashing.

[opensuse] Leap sofware update insists I am offline
by Albert Oszkó 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Hi all, I have both wired and wifi connection facility to the net. I am definitely online. Still, Sotware Updates (bottom right corner of system tray in KDE) insists that my system is offline. Settings of it are OK. Why does it do it? Any hints? Albert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] why can I not rename/mv a file when copy+remove works ?
by Per Jessen 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

This is mind boggling, to me anyway - on a very stable system, quite backlevel, I have some procedures/Makefiles that are run daily. I'm pretty certain noone has changed anything there for months or even years. A week ago, the following started complaining about lack of permissions: create tempfile in /tmp fill up tempfile with stuff move tempfile to destination (same filesystem, matching uids) - permission denied. Using strace, I see that it is a call to rename() that fails. Then I tried this instead: create tempfile in /tmp fill up tempfile with stuff copy tempfile to destination (same filesystem) remove tempfile Works fine. Does that make any sense to anyone? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.8°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

At least as long as the conditions of EOL do not change, for him, 13.2 is the better choice even for updates. Provided there is no tipo. 13.1 goes off support (without updates NOW and is partially maintained with security updates). So if you run a server Maybe but.... EOL page https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime#openSUSE_Leap_and_13.x That states: EXPECTED First Quarter of 2017 (2 months after release of Leap 42.2) for 132 but for 13.1 with evergreen says: extended community maintenance, support end is currently November 2016.That is: up to the first quarter of 2017 you will get offical security updates for 13.2. So 13.2 is the better choice AFAIK. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] leap @ public mirror rsync.opensuse.org not quite there ?
by Per Jessen 19 Nov '15

Because of the slow IPv6 downloads from Bangladesh, I wanted to create a local mirror so I tried mirroring from rsync.opensuse.org. 13.1 and 13.2 look fine, but Leap seems a bit lacking. per@mirror:/mnt/opensuse> ls -l distribution/leap/42.1/repo/oss/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 4 109 113 16 Nov 5 04:08 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 109 113 16 Nov 5 04:08 ../ drwxr-xr-x 3 109 113 8 Nov 5 04:08 boot/ drwxr-xr-x 5 109 113 24 Nov 5 04:08 suse/ In comparison: per@mirror:/mnt/opensuse> ls -l distribution/13.2/repo/oss/ total 111220 -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 52884411 Oct 27 2014 ARCHIVES.gz drwxr-xr-x 4 108 118 32 Oct 27 2014 boot -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 59373158 Oct 27 2014 ChangeLog -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 19776 Oct 27 2014 content -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 481 Oct 27 2014 content.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 988 Oct 27 2014 content.key -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 48557 Sep 25 2014 control.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 256 Oct 27 2014 directory.yast drwxr-xr-x 2 108 118 32 Oct 27 2014 docu drwxr-xr-x 3 108 118 8 Oct 27 2014 EFI -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 673 Oct 25 2014 gpg-pubkey-307e3d54-4be01a65.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 1059 Oct 25 2014 gpg-pubkey-3dbdc284-53674dd4.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 18092 Oct 25 2014 GPLv2.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 35147 Oct 25 2014 GPLv3.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 297826 Oct 27 2014 INDEX.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 42096 Oct 25 2014 license.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 549069 Oct 27 2014 ls-lR.gz drwxr-xr-x 2 108 118 96 Oct 27 2014 media.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 567096 Sep 25 2014 openSUSE13_2_NET.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 1177 Oct 25 2014 README drwxr-xr-x 8 108 118 48 Oct 27 2014 suse -rw-r--r-- 1 108 118 2238 Oct 25 2014 SuSEgo.ico -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Although Win2K was deemed the "professional" version, the one with durable future was the fusion of the two lines. Now opensuse 13.2 was already far more professional technologically than 98 (or 2k) ever was, but opensuse development speed and major version lifetime was sometimes a bit a stress in the very conservative world of business. So it was decided to create a version that fusions both worlds and takes advantage of both worlds. As Leap got also a new kernel, we can even speak of "cherry picking" so I think you have very good arguments for having chosen 13.2 at the time and to defend the choice of leap today. At least that would be my argument. others: YMMV. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] How to install package updates via YaST2?
by Philip Amadeo Saeli 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

System: Stock openSUSE-13.1 x86_64 I have been installing openSUSE-13.1 system updates via YOU for some time now. However, recently I've noticed that the system updates popup (whatever it is called) has been listing another update that never gets listed in any of the YOU listings (since, apparently, it is not part of any of the update patches). Listing out the updates via "zypper list-updates" shows the extra update. Also, using the YaST2 "Software Management" module, I am able to find the package and verify that there is an update available (it shows both the installed and the available versions). However, I have not been able to figure out how to install it via any of the YaST2 modules. I know it can be installed via zypper, and I may resort to that. It just bugs me that I can not figure out how to install it via YaST (if, indeed, there is a way!). Anyone know how? --Phil -- Philip Amadeo Saeli psaeli(a)zorodyne.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can a $150 Windows laptop be any good?

http://www.theverge.com/2015/11/18/9751506/mossberg-lenovo-ideapad-100s-rev… Can it run Linux or even android? Not that I'm keen to replace my Samsung tablet+bluetoothkbd with one, but .. More realistically, this seems to be positioning itself against the Apple 'large' tablet, something that has many blogers in a later about while ignorant of the Samsung 12" tablet that has been around for couple of years now. Which I haven't found how to run Linux on ... Still, its a fraction the cost of Samsung or the Apple devices. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
