[opensuse] Battery info
by don fisher 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

I have run xosview for many years. Now after the Leap upgrade, I receive the following error message: Cannot get battery information If using APM, have you loaded the `apm' module? If using ACPI, have you loaded the `battery' module? Are these modules referred to kernel modules, or some other flavor? What changed?

RE: [opensuse] Wiki as foundation of a community

> There is probably a lot of blabla going on in the design community as to > how wonderful they are, but yeah. Dear Xen, please enjoy this classic about designers and desired design. I think it is since years a noteworthy peace of humorist approach of a real problem. http://www.27bslash6.com/missy.html About a missing cat called "missy". Very pertinent to your problem. And I agree, time ago documentation was way easier organized. And more over, security guides and other places of opensuse are badly advertised. Some are nice, but you have to search hard and "discover". Other distribution (I recall Arch) seem to do better but then of course a lot is about personal taste, the material once uses and the available collaborators. So about wiki having to be "messy" I do not agree so much. But too much depth in menus...or not intuitive pages are a known problem. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] For ethernet, what does "device unconfigured" mean
by don fisher 28 Dec '15

28 Dec '15

I have run Yast2, and all appears happy. I have looked at files in /etc/sysconfig/networking and /etc/wicked, and all appear happy in my humble opinion. What is making the decision that these devices are unconfigured. What does unconfigured mean? Is there a single field in one of the files that has been omitted? It is very frustrating to not be able to get on the net from a machine that used to have no problem. Especially since the net is required to send details to this list.

I have now leap running but curiously also no I do NOT have a "failsafe" entry in grub. I have advanced but if I choose it i have the very same entry without possibility to enter any parameter. If I have it password protected I have to press escape, then it asks me for the user (that I suppose is root?) and for a password which is the one of grub). If I do so, it just brings me....back to the grub without any possibility to set up boot parameters. At least leap is running (we will see how long it will be to have strange ssh services running this time......) So now I am struggling again! with the mp4/mp3 problem. If you have any idea why the fail-safe entry is not there...I will be grateful to try. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

But so far I do not understand where the problem lies. > If you have any hint to point me to a solution I will be grateful. Actually this is getting worse and worse. I installed Leap instead of 13.2 As long as the account is new all is fine and the site plays. But if do chmod and acquire afterwards the files of the previous personality by simpy copying and pasting, then the sound stops. Now way to get sound in FF, Seamonkey or Chromium. Thus i thought: as I did NOT copy any invisible file but only the documents and folders, this might be still a permission problem. So I eliminated the user and reauqired the directory afterwards recreating it in yast. Now Konqueror as befor does play mp4/mp3. Chromium plays also now. But FF and Seamonkey remain mute. While in other users they do play!!! I started therefore FF from konsole and do see the following error now: (firefox:8421): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion 'targets != NULL' failed (firefox:8421): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion 'targets != NULL' failed (firefox:8421): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion 'targets != NULL' failed So what does that tell me? --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

Any chance of adding grub-customizer to the distro? This would return the boot menu editing function that was lost with the switch to grub2. https://software.opensuse.org/package/grub-customizer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ideacentre Stick300
by Chuck Payne 28 Dec '15

28 Dec '15

Hi, I am trying to install linux on to a ideacentre stick 300. I been reading they forum where people are getting Ubuntu install with the following ----- n fact, if You have the proper directory stucture for EFI boot on Your USB device (EFI/BOOT/bootia32.efi) it will enable You to boot from the USB after pessing ESC at boot time and selecting boot options. The same You can achieve via the 'Boot from file" option, when You select the USB device and find the EFI boot file manually. I've just managed to install Ubuntu Linux (15.10) to the Ideacenter Stick 300 device, so if You need I can provide some tips, how to do it :-) Amos ---- Should I use unebootin and choose the EFI-mode boot loader then ELILO? I guess I will need to use openSUSE 13.2 correct since leap there is no 32-bit version I am asking because I have found these steps ( sorry they are for ubuntu I am trying to change them for openSUSE ) . Do we have by change tablet mix? Broadly speaking, if you need to install Ubuntu (or any other Linux distribution) on a computer with a 32-bit EFI and no BIOS/CSM/legacy-mode boot support, the way to do it is: Use unetbootin or something similar to prepare an installation USB flash drive. (It's possible to get it to work with a CD-R, but this takes more work.) Choose an EFI-mode boot loader for Linux. I recommend ELILO, Fedora's patched GRUB Legacy, rEFInd, or gummiboot because they're relatively easy to set up manually. GRUB 2 is far too difficult to configure manually, and SYSLINUX is too new. Research your chosen boot loader's configuration file format and its needs in terms of kernel location. Check the original CD image to find its boot loader configuration. You need to know what options are being passed to the kernel by the boot loader. Add an EFI/BOOT directory to a FAT partition on the USB flash drive that now holds your Linux image. Ideally, this partition should be an ESP (that is, have a "boot flag" set in parted or have a type code of EF00 in gdisk if the disk uses GPT; or have a type code of 0xEF in fdisk if the disk uses MBR), but some ESPs can cope without that. If the disk doesn't have a FAT partition, you'll need to create one Copy your chosen boot loader's binary file (with a name that ends in .efi) to the EFI/BOOTdirectory on the USB flash drive, and rename it to bootia32.efi -- that is, it should be EFI/BOOT/bootia32.efi. Be sure to copy the 32-bit version of the boot loader! Install any support files that the boot loader needs, such as drivers, images, modules, and configuration files. In some cases (such as ELILO and gummiboot), you'll need to copy your kernel and initrd file to the FAT partition that holds the boot loader. Edit the configuration file(s) for your boot loader so that it can launch the kernel with the options you identified earlier by examining the BIOS-mode boot loader's configuration. Reboot to test the boot loader. With any luck it will work and you'll be able to install everything. I can't guarantee that Ubuntu will install a 32-bit EFI boot loader, though. If not, you'll need to boot an emergency system and set that up manually, too. You may also need to debug something, particularly if unetbootin (or whatever you use) doesn't set up the flash drive in the optimal way. Of course, this description is fairly vague about the critical detail of configuring the boot loader. This is because I haven't done it recently (although I have in the past), and the details vary depending on what boot loader you choose. -- Terror PUP a.k.a Chuck "PUP" Payne ----------------------------------------- Discover it!

[opensuse][mozilla][gdb] unhappy with 13.1 (32bit) switch to 42.1 (64bit)
by Felix Miata 28 Dec '15

28 Dec '15

I had no trouble for a very long time with any Mozillas. Now that I've "upgraded" to 64 bit, (mozilla.org's static binary) Firefox ESR 10, which worked fine in KDE3/13.1-32, instead in KDE3/42.1-64 gives "g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed" instead of starting, and I'm unable to find any solution or workaround, only complaints that "fixed" bugs are not fixed, and stale open bugs on both openSUSE BZ and mozilla.org BZ, none of which for rv10 FF. Trying with a virgin profile or with -safe-mode or with ulimit -c unlimited does not help. Also, $ gdb /usr/local/ffe10/firefox -P ffe10 -safe-mode could not open ffe10: No such file or directory Is gdb broken in Leap? The claimed nosuch seems a lie. 32 bit FF 3.6.28 won't run and I can't locate a 64 bit version of it. FFESR38 (mozilla's), FFESR17 (openSUSE rpm) and SeaMonkeys (both mozilla's and Leap rpms) seem perfectly fine. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=920260 suggests maybe some defect in glibc is at the root of the FFESR10 nostart. Suggestions, other than not using FFESR10 and/or switching back to 13.1, welcome. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] Leap on Lenovo 201 - failure to start any x session
by stakanov＠freenet.de 28 Dec '15

28 Dec '15

I tried to install Leap on a Lenovo X201, all updates during install. Results so far: if you password protect grub, it works but the unlocking in order to access a "failsafe setting" does not work. If you take of the passwordprotection of grub then then you find out that a failsafe session has simply not been set up. So I will have to do that by hand and since it does not seem that it accepts boot parameters in grub I will have to put them into yast. If somebody knows the settings for a X201 it would be nice to tell me. Login: encrypted lvm works, the boot runs without error up to when sddm should start the session but: if autologin is off: just promt, no sddm screen if autologin is on: tty1 with login , no graphical desktop. user can login via cli, but no x. loging in to preexisting accounts shows normal file structure and content, so not a problem of the hdd or filesystem. Login in a new user shows /bin and just one more fiel (which is normal, the xsession of that user never started. How can I find out why the xsession does not start. I get no error message what so ever. I checked in /etc/sddm.conf and minj VT is set correctly for VT7. dmesg gives no help, no errors journalctl no errors Any way to find out why plasma 5 does not start at all? It would be nice to have at least an error message. BTW: the graphics and mask for the encrypted lvm are displayed normal. So the intel graphics and settings are sensed correctly. At least during boot. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.
