[opensuse] 13.2 & Firefox intermittent 'stalling' with excessive cpu
by Carl Hartung 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hi All, This one has me really pulling my hair out. It started a couple of updates back and it hasn't improved since. I can be left waiting several seconds, up to 20 or 30 seconds or even more, when I close tabs, open new tabs, open new windows and close those windows. Because I keep several logged in sessions going at once and I 'context switch' like this many, many times throughout the day, these delays are badly impacting my work. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't added anything new to the mix, just installed the normal updates. I'd appreciate any pointers or ideas that you may care to share. >From 'top': PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1688 carlh 20 0 4142004 1.917g 36092 S 20.93 49.56 910:06.20 firefox System 2.0GHz Core2Duo T5800, 4GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 512MB GeForce 9300M GS 3.16.7-21-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 14 07:11:37 UTC 2015 (93c1539) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Firefox 37.0.2 for openSUSE 13.2 java-1_7_0-openjdk-headless-1.7.0.79-7.4.x86_64 libjavascriptcoregtk-3_0-0-2.4.7-4.10.x86_64 java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.79-7.4.x86_64 java-1_8_0-openjdk-1.8.0.45-9.3.x86_64 java-1_8_0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.45-9.3.x86_64 java-1_7_0-openjdk-plugin-1.5.1-4.1.x86_64 libjavascriptcoregtk-1_0-0-2.4.7-4.11.x86_64 javapackages-tools-2.0.1-9.1.3.x86_64 timezone-java-2015c-19.1.noarch java-1_8_0-openjdk-plugin-1.5.1-4.1.x86_64 Adblock Plus 2.6.9 CoLT 2.6.5 Easy Copy 2.5.2 Extended Copy Menu (fix[sic] version) 1.6.1c Firebug 2.0.9 openSUSE Firefox Extensions 1.0.2 QuickNote 0.7.5 Video DownloadHelper 5.2.0 Web Developer 1.2.5 OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.

[opensuse] ip6?tables and ipv[46] addresses ?
by Per Jessen 20 May '15

20 May '15

AFAICT, iptables and ip6tables operate on two separate tables, one for ipv4 and one for ipv6? Certainly, when I list the tables, the contents are different. It seems to me that 'iptables' ought to work with both of these formats: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.77.77 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s ::ffff:192.168.77.77 -j DROP The latter format is not recognised by iptables. Nor surprisingly though, it works with ip6tables: ip6tables -A INPUT -p tcp -s ::ffff:192.168.77.77 -j DROP The real question is - will the latter actually drop IPv4 traffic from 192.168.77.77 ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] postfix config file constantly being reset, probably during updates and patches via zypper, how to protect postfix config?
by cagsm 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hello, from time to time I observed in the recent years that somewhen my small postfix mailserver stopped functioning and delivering to a simple external smarthost ip address for a single domain. Very simple setup. At these times I observed that the postfix config file main.cf had a rather current date and settings like networking interfaces postfix would listen on, smarthost ip address and domain name and such were missing from it. I was kind of thinking to directly edit this main.cf file and put my stuff in there, but meanwhile I wonder if suse has a different approach and where to put my config stuff that during updates and patches even with rewriting main.cf file by some suse mechanism, the proper info gets put in and stays in. Thanks for any hints. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Raspberry Pi and /proc/cpuinfo
by Thomas Aichinger 18 May '15

18 May '15

Hi, I run into a problem with my RasPi Model B+ V1.2 with openSuse 13.2. I type: raspi:~ # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 model name : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l) Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java tls CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 7 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0xb76 CPU revision : 7 Hardware : BCM2835 Revision : 0000 Serial : 0000000000000000 From serveral other sources I heard that Hardware should be BCM2708, Revision 0010 and there should be a valid serial number. The same hardware with raspbian says: Hardware : BCM2708 Revision : 0010 Serial : 00000000c2c2clcfbb The problem is that many libs are looking into this information to determine what type of raspi they are running on. What possibilities I have to set these parameters right? Regards Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] More troubles on a Suse box (frame buffer driver failure)
by Ted Byers 18 May '15

18 May '15

I now have a second Suse box that is refusing to start properly. I used Yast to do an online update (opensuse 13.2), and it gave me a message that one of the updates required a reboot. I thus tried to reboot, but it failed to start properly. Instead I get a fatal error about xgifb. The first ststaement I see is that it complains that it is unable to request memory, size 2000000. The next, which it flags as fatal, sayy it is unable to reserve frame buffer memory and it asks if there is another frame buffer driver active. Now, on this machine, I can get to a repair 'desktop', which seems to be comprised of a command shell (maybe bash? sh?) But I have no idea what to do, what commands to submit, in order to fix this thing. Can someone advise on what to try, and what documentation to look at? I am feeling rather hamstrung as I am a programmer, not a system administrator or computer repair tech.

[opensuse] Samba4 doubt
by Amaury Viera Hernández 17 May '15

17 May '15

Good afternoon: I work at the University of Computer Sciences in Cuba and I am currently doing an application for adding my computer to an Active Directory Domain Controller using realmd and sssd. This works fine for me. Besides, I need to share file and folders for specific users in the Active Directory Domain Controller of my organization. This could be accomplished using samba4. Could you help me to setup samba4 to share files and folders for specific users in the Active Directory Domain Controller of my organization. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Amaury. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Don't totally rely on zypper <smilie>
by Basil Chupin 17 May '15

17 May '15

Every morning when I boot up the system, the fist thing I do is to run 'zypper'. Which is what I did this morning. There were a couple of 'patches' to be installed. But then some hours later, while I was looking for a file in YaST, I did a check on updates/upgrades which have to made under the "Package>All Packages>Update if newer packages available" and found a large number of packages to be updated/upgraded. However, most of these were related to LibreOffice, which I install manually and directly from libreoffice.org, I ignored them. But was surprised to see that some 6 packages were listed as needing updating to new versions and all had to do with 'vlc'. The puzzling thing is is that vlc was installed from packman, the updates were to come from packman, and packman has a priority level of 95 set in Yast - which I assumed was also honoured by zypper. Anyway, no big deal re this, but I am flagging the idea that if one is always solely relying on zypper to update/upgrade your system then occasionally use YaST just to keep zypper honest :-) .

[opensuse] problems in kernel 4.0 with some USB sticks
by Anton Aylward 16 May '15

16 May '15

Recent readers might recall that in the thread about printers I pointed out that for small quantities of colour printing I make use of a local photoshop rather than buy an inkjet printer and let it get clogged from lack of daily use, or an expensive colour laserjet. I use a USB stick. As it happens this is a freebe handed out at the Novell SUSE openday. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/TImeD3KLbuAsJVYbpDMALOWabReVKoQi93sfoYi8kAfX=w1123… This happens to be a 2G drive. It came with the presentation materials This years model is a 4G and is readable & mountable and recognisable by KDE/Konqueror. It has, in dmesg [166069.975874] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=abcd, idProduct=1234 [166069.975881] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [166069.975885] usb 1-4: Product: [166069.975888] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: General I haven't yet erased the presentation material and 're-purposed' this yet. It is last years model I'm having problems with. I used that under the 3.xx OS even under 12.x and 13.1 as the transport of images from my machine, processed by darktable, However when I come to use it with the 4.0.x kernel its no recognised enough to be mountable. [166521.671039] usb 1-4: new high-speed USB device number 11 using ehci-pci [166522.466824] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=058f, idProduct=1234 [166522.466831] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [166522.466835] usb 1-4: Product: Mass Storage Device [166522.466838] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Alcor Micro [166522.467363] usb-storage 1-4:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected [166522.467568] scsi host15: usb-storage 1-4:1.0 [166523.469874] scsi 15:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic USB Flash Disk 7.76 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 [166523.470564] sd 15:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 [166523.471860] sd 15:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk No "sdb: sdb1" line. The KDE device notifier says nothing is there. Regular readers will also know my opinion on documenting things. I tag each and every USB disk drive since, unlike floppy disks, there isn't label you can write on. Sometimes I can use white-ex but more often then not I need a key-ring tab http://www.selectlocks.com/assets/images/luckyline/605.jpg that may reference my notes but more often that not its enough for a generic description, as is the case here: "2G/Blacks/Photos" This is an exreme case. I have a few other USB devices that are bootable since I created them as install or Live devices under earlier version of Suse or earlier kernels. I look though the UDISK rules and get to wonder ... Why that 4G drive is recognised when the 2G one isn't, since the vendor/model aren't encoded there. I'm wondering is anyone else is using the 4.0 kernel and having USB problems? -- 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

[opensuse] sheets problem
by buhorojo 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi Problem on opensuse. I did Yast online update. I have to refresh or wait when e.g. replicating a formula or inserting rows and copying anything on the ground to the sheet is a nightmare. I found this: http://www.quora.com/What-makes-certain-cells-in-Google-Sheets-not-update But it makes no difference. The app that it opens on 4.4 drive is fine, but it's hard working with it. If anyone who uses sheets could help (rather than general answers), that would be great as I'm in the middle of exams and don't have time to answer everyone.
