[opensuse] Namebench
by Steven Hess 25 Dec '15

25 Dec '15

There was a previews thread where namebench was mentioned. I thought it was the optimizing resolv.conf thread. Anyway this is a different issue. Id like to run it. The ones I located in OBS were not functional here. What could I do to try another source? Thanks Steven -- ____________ Apply appropriate technology. Use what works without prejudice.

[opensuse] Reply change in Seamonkey
by James Knott 12 Dec '15

12 Dec '15

I use Seamonkey for most of my email. There appears to be a recent change, where the reply options no longer work. Previously, I could click on the down arrow beside the Reply button and select either Reply or Reply to list. Both are now greyed out and no longer work. The Reply and Reply All buttons work as normal. This is with Seamonkey 2.39 on openSUSE 13.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Best FS fo PostgreSQL/MariaDB
by Vojtěch Zeisek 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Hello, recently I saw (on Czech Linux days, so no useful reference for here;-) presentation testing performance of PostgreSQL on various Linux FS (on SSD). Performance of Ext4 and XFS were more or less the same. But Btrfs failed. Possibly this is because of copy-on-write, which can be turned off. In such case its performance is better, but still little bit loosing. I'd like to use Btrfs, especially because of its snapshot feature, but I wonder what is the best FS for /var/lib/{mysql,pgsql} on SSD. Do people have Btrfs subvolumes with COW turned off? Any extra tuning? Or rather separate partitions (but it would be bit uncomfortable for resizing, yes, LVM, but might be too complicated architecture then...) with Ext4/XFS? Any other ideas?

[opensuse] Experiences with HA - Pacemaker, Heartbeat, Corosync?
by Vojtěch Zeisek 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

Hello, I'm thinking about some HW redundancy of our server. I'd like to have second machine (slave) and when the first one (master) is down, the second should take place and provide all services. But the HW is bit limited now. I have one physical machine (tower server) without STONITH and if possible, I'd like to use as a slave virtual machine (in same network). So the best solution might be just keep one machine, good backups and in case of HW crash restore onto new HW... Richard Brown pointed me to Pacemaker (links are below). I have some doubts about possibility to use it in my case and I'd like to hear if someone is using it and preferably has possible experience with those tools. :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9fElUiCdcY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STONITH https://software.opensuse.org/package/ha-cluster-bootstrap https://www.suse.com/documentation/sle-ha-12/ http://clusterlabs.org/ http://drbd.linbit.com/ http://www.linux-ha.org/wiki/Main_Page Sincerely, V. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

[opensuse] Jpegs won't render in Firefox
by Mark Misulich 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi, I updated my version of firefox to the latest version 42.0-2.1-x86_64 from earlier versions, and jpeg pictures won't render on a web page. To troubleshoot the problem, I downgraded the version to 38.4.0-1.1-x86_64 and the jpegs will render again on a web page. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it in the later versions?

[opensuse] Kudos
by Christopher Myers 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

In lieu of the recent thread on "how crappy Linux is, and how many problems there are," I would like to just give my kudos to the oS and linux developers. Because I really to believe that we tend to be quiet except when we run into problems. (And besides, even if we did give kudos all the time, it wouldn't turn into a 50-post-long thread as different folks suggest different potential fixes...) So from my experience, of using *nix daily at work and home... I rather enjoy running oS 13.1 on my work computer (which I use every single day, overall without problems,) with several of my coworkers saying "I wish that I could do that too, if only program XYZ worked on Linux." I loved being able to pick up an old broken HP TC4400 "tablet" computer that could barely run the Windows XP that it was designed for, and install oS Tumbleweed, and have the thing fly as if it was a brand new computer :) It's awesome having a teeny tiny arm-based single-board computer "server" at home, with a measly 5 watt power requirement, running Debian, doing the exact same thing as my old 120-watt Intel-based server used to. I loved being able to upgrade from oS 11.4 to 12.1 to 13.1, on the same machine, without so much as a hiccup, and without performance degradation. Try doing that with a Windows computer... It's wonderful running SLES on our boxes at work, and the performance and capabilities of those boxes far exceed what we can do on our Windows machines. From patching, upgrades, remote management, added performance/security for not running a GUI, being able to do stuff like "su," the fact that a base OS install takes less than 4GB versus Windows' 40GB+, ... - things just work better. So yes. While I know things aren't always perfect smooth sailing, I wouldn't go back to Windows. And any time I have to use a Windows computer, I find myself so incredibly hampered by the missing features that I take for granted on Linux, it takes me a lot longer to do my job, and I look forward to sitting back down at my oS box :D Cheers :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Japanese keyboard
by Koenraad Lelong 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi, My daughter studies Japanese. When her laptop had OS12.3, I installed something so she could easily type Japanese on a European keyboard (Belgian). That worked fine. She told me this is how it was working : You type the romanised version of the word, and you get the hiragana characters. Then pressing the space-bar gives a choice of possible (kanji ?) characters. A few months ago I installed OS13.2, but I forgot to install that software. Now she's asking for it, but I don't remember what I did to have that Japanese keyboard. Anyone has an idea what it could have been ? I already installed all Japanese fonts I could find via Yast. Also, in a few months she will be studying in Japan for some months. Maybe she could buy a Japanese keyboard, but what would be needed to be able to use that ? Just "System settings"/ "Input devices", add a Japanese keyboard ? Anything special to be aware of ? Thanks, Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
