by Chuck Payne 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi, I am trying to set up a simple repo, I read on the opensuse site about a binary called genIS_PLAINcache, because I can't see to find it or the package yast2-packmanager either. Can someone help. I am setting this repo up for SLE9, I have tried to use createrepo but I keeping getting errors. -- ---------------------------------------- When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away.

[opensuse] Palestinians and the truth
by Billie Walsh 06 Sep '15

06 Sep '15

Every year the world hears about a group calling themselves “Palestinians.” In June 1967, so the story goes, the Israelis pushed them out of their homeland. (Or did the Jews throw them out in 1949?) Western people accept that narrative without judging it for accuracy. They do this because they don’t know the true history of the region. Who were the Palestinians? Beginning in 2002, a certain writer began a series of provocative essays about “Palestine” and “Palestinians.” This writer published them under the false name “Yashiko Sagamori.” (The first name could have come from a Japanese trademark for twin-lens reflex cameras, the Yashica line.) Whatever his (or her) origin, “Yashiko Sagamori” asks some pointed questions: (paraphrased from the original) Who founded a country called “Palestine,” and when? What borders did they draw? What cities did they build? (And which did they build as their capital city?) What industry did they build their economy on? Farming? Fishing? Ironworking? What government did they have? Before Yasser Arafat (or, for that matter, Haj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem), can anyone name even one supreme leader of that country? Has any other country, or superpower, or group of nation-states, recognized the “Palestinians” as a country, with no quibbling? What language did Palestinians speak? What sort of gods did they worship, and how did they worship them? How did they name their monetary unit? Can anyone quote a rate-of-exchange between this unit and, say, the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, Japanese yen, or Chinese yuan? What brought about the downfall of Palestine, and when? When could one call the Palestinians a “proud” nations? What gave them their “pride”? And: If the people you mistakenly call “Palestinians” are anything but generic Arabs collected from all over – or thrown out of – the Arab world, if they really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for self-determination, why did they never try to become independent until Arabs suffered their devastating defeat in the Six Day War? Or for that matter, before the Arab Legion tried to shove the Jews into the sea in 1948-9, and failed miserably? Palestinians: real history Pontius Pilate, a key figure in killing Jesus, is here confirmed as a real person. He also was governor of Judea Province, which became Palestine. So much for the claims of the Palestinians to a long history. A dedicatory stone credits Pontius Pilate, Prefect of Judea, with erecting the Hippodrome in Caesaria Maritima. CNAV File Photo (March 30, 2011) Those who call themselves “Palestinians” can’t or won’t answer these questions. But those who know the thousands of years of the history of the region, can. “Palestine” never existed as a country. Not, that is, with Arabic people living in it. Emperor Hadrian of Rome gave the region the name Palestine in 135 A.D. (or C.E., if you don’t believe in the Lord, as in “Year of”). Hadrian ordered his legions to disperse the Jews throughout his Empire in that year. Simon bar Khochva rebelled against Rome. (And to this day the Seder Olam Rabah lists him as the Messiah and figures the Years of the World on that listing.) Hadrian’s legions put him down and scattered the Jews. They then renamed their province of “Judea” to “Palestina.” Palestine comes from Philistia. In fact the Arab, in referring to Palestine, call it Filastin. But the Arabs do not descend from the original Philistines. The name Philistine means an outsider, an immigrant, or an invader. For these generic Arab residents, Philistine seems as good a name as any. One could then call them a third generation of Philistines, after the Avvites of Abraham and Isaac’s day, and the Caphthorites who displaced the Avvites during the Sojourn of the Israelites in Egypt. But now the champions of the Palestinians have a problem. “Philistia,” in the days of the Hebrew Judges and Kings, never occupied a contiguous area in modern Judea and Samaria (“The West Bank”). In fact, in those days nation-states consisted of cities and their immediate surroundings, not of vast tracts of land far removed from any one city. They did not know the concept “territory” as we know it. So any two monarchs might control groups of cities in overlapping territories! At most they occupied the present Gaza Strip and a few lands north and east of it. And by the time the Arabs even reached that far, the Caphthorites no longer lived there. And hadn’t lived there since Nebuchadnezzar the Great eliminated them. The Philistines of old do not seem to have had one capital city. They had the Five Cities: Ashdod, Ashkelon, Ekron, Gath, and Gaza. Of the Five, only Gaza City remains to these third-generation Philistines. Not Jerusalem. Furthermore, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Ekron, and Gath existed mostly as ruins when the first Zionists arrived. (Gath still does not work as a proper city. It exists only as ruins.) The Caphthorites fished for their living. And they worshiped a god in the shape of a walking, talking fish: Dagon. The Arab Palestinians worship Muhammad, not Dagon. The Caphthorites always had a monarchy, and a nobility: the Lords of the Five Cities. The modern Palestinians had no self-government for over a thousand years. The Romans brought them in after chasing the Jews out. The various rulers who succeeded the Romans, including the Mamluks, the Crusader Kings, and especially the Ottoman Turks, never offered them self-government. In fact, the first Zionist pioneers came to an empty land. The Turks sold them that land, and laughed all the way to the bank. Like Sanballat of old (see Nehemiah chapter 5), they said one to another, “What will these feeble Jews do with all that swamp and desert?” Plenty. They planted eucalyptus to drain the swamp naturally, and invented drip irrigation and other techniques to reclaim the desert. Then Arabs came, looking for jobs. As to language: the Caphthorites spoke a Semitic language. The Arabs, of course, speak their own language. Eliezer Yitzak Perelman, alias Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, single-handedly taught his fellow Jews to speak Hebrew every day, not merely in clerical school or when reading the Tanakh. The British Mandatory authorities, in 1922, recognized Hebrew as an official spoken language. Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini became the first leader of any “Palestinians.” Even then, the region had that name only because the British owned it. They called it “British Mandatory Palestine,” after they had won World War One. And the Grand Mufti called for mass murder. He even cooperated with Adolf Hitler. After that he came back to Jerusalem, to say, “I declare a holy war! Murder them! Murder them all!”, talking about the Jews. Yasser Arafat eventually succeeded him. But in fact the “Palestinians” did nothing more than furnish guerilla shock troops to Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Then Egypt started the Six-day War. And Israel finished it. The “Palestinians” have no central bank, and no monetary unit. Even the so-called Palestine National Authority never created one. Never in history have any “Palestinians” had any unique money. They used Roman or Turkish money. Now, ironically, they use American money! The last question from the pseudonymous “Yashiko Sagamori” asks why, not what. That can have no answer. In sum “Palestinians” do not qualify as a national “people.” At best they sit on a territory overlapping that of two generations of invaders from the sea. At worst they have let certain great powers use them as an excuse to rag on Israel in general, and the Jews in particular http://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2015/07/09/editorial/talk/palestini… http://tinyurl.com/nmc2h3z -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution.

All, There are new forms the courts require that I am having trouble reading. The following is a Civil Docketing Statement for the 4th Court of Appeals in Texas.

[opensuse] Thunderbird 38.1.0 don’t show Outlook email if "HTML original" is selected
by Marco Calistri 22 Aug '15

22 Aug '15

Hello, Suddenly (may be after some of the latest Mozilla updates) Thunderbird started to have a problem when opening email sent from Outlook clients. The email body is not complete I.E. just the sender signature and signature's pictures are being displayed, the message text itself part is not. To be able to see the email body text I have to select View->HTML as simple. I believe Thunderbird applies a strict RFC rule and for this reason is discarding/hiding the text(?) I verify with different clients or even web email that Outlook email are displayed correctly then it is a specific Thunderbird issue. I'm attaching the excerpts of two HTML email sources in order to see the differences among them. The first is the Outlook source which is not fully displayed in Thunderbird with View->HTML as Original, while the second is another HTML source which went correctly displayed. # 1 HTML not fully displayed: Accept-Language: pt-BR, en-US Content-Language: en-US X-MS-Has-Attach: yes X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: x-ms-exchange-transport-fromentityheader: Hosted x-originating-ip: [HIDDEN] Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="_009_ccd995d399dc4543b7cdf858ca9a44b6SNEPEXM02Phidden_" MIME-Version: 1.0 X-CFilter-Loop: Reflected Return-Path: HIDDEN --_009_ccd995d399dc4543b7cdf858ca9a44b6SNEPEXM02Phidden_ Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="_008_ccd995d399dc4543b7cdf858ca9a44b6SNEPEXM02Phidden_"; type="multipart/alternative" --_008_ccd995d399dc4543b7cdf858ca9a44b6SNEPEXM02Phidden_ Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="_000_ccd995d399dc4543b7cdf858ca9a44b6SNEPEXM02Phidden_" --_000_ccd995d399dc4543b7cdf858ca9a44b6SNEPEXM02Phidden_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 # 2 HTML fully displayed Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary=001a1134de483afeb504fe42babe --001a1134de483afeb504fe42babe Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=001a1134de483afeb304fe42babd --001a1134de483afeb304fe42babd Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable If someone have faced the same issue and being able to resolve, please share with me the solution.

[opensuse] Autodisconnect of usb-disk-dock
by Koenraad Lelong 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, In a thread about two months ago a USB disk-docking station was mentioned (Aukey Super Speed USB3.0 Dual Bay ...). I bought it, but I don't know what's happening with it. I wanted to use it as my backup-station for my NAS. I was testing it, but it was not reliable. So I tested it on my Opensuse 13.2 laptop. There it also has "problems". What happens is that after a while of not using it, the connection is dropped. I can't access it any more. I have to remove power and power it on again before I can use it. I was wondering if this is expected behaviour, or is the dock malfunctioning ? Any suggestions to investigate this further ?

[opensuse] specific calendar program for linux
by Istvan Gabor 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hello: I'm looking for a calendar program for linux with a specific view area. it should look similar to the one in this image: http://i59.tinypic.com/3358g91.jpg Days should be in horizontal order only, and places, hours of days etc. vertically. Tasks or names could be assigned to specific places/hours during specific days. For example John Doe will be staying in New York from Aug. 18-22. Would be nice if I could export/save the data and open/import them on another machine. Is there something like this, open source or free, for linux? All calendars I looked at (screenshots) has days both horizontally and vertically.

[opensuse] btrfs - no space left on device after deleting snapper
by Istvan Gabor 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hello: I thought I didn't need snapshots and I deleted all snapper packages. After this I get the no space left on device message when booting the system. Before I deleted snapper packages I removed all snapshots and checked the amount of free space. # btrfs filesystem show Label: none uuid: ............ Total devices 1 FS bytes used 16.97GB devid 1 size 20.00GB used 20.00GB path /dev/sd..... If I understand correctly this indicates I have ~3 GB free space on the 20 GB file system. Then I deleted snapper packages and now I get the no space message. Why is my file system full? How can I fix this?

[opensuse] fetchmail from gmail problems
by Patrick Shanahan 02 Aug '15

02 Aug '15

I suppose google is playing name games or round-robin with ssl certs but am just guessing based on inexperience. I began three or four days ago receiving "Query status=2 (SOCKET)" errors in fetchmail log for gmail. If I specify an ip address to poll rather than imap.gmail.com, I get "SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed". Adding nodns to poll imap.gmail.com, or with an ip address makes no difference. I even tried following google'd info to update Equifax certs to no avail. Switching to pop3 rather than imap is not different, same errors with same conditions. I don't understand, fetchmail has worked very well for many years with gmail/imap. # Configuration created Sun Dec 28 14:56:16 2003 by fetchmailconf set logfile "/home/<user>/.procmail/fetchmail.log" #set syslog set postmaster "invalid" set no bouncemail set no spambounce set daemon 150 poll imap.gmail.com tracepolls with proto IMAP timeout 45 user '<user1>@gmail.com' there with password '<passwd1>' is '<user1>' here options fetchall stripcr ssl sslcertck mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T' antispam 571 550 501 554 user '<user2>@gmail.com' there with password '<passwd2>' is '<user2>' here options fetchall stripcr ssl sslcertck mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T' antispam 571 550 501 554 Five other providers continue to work as expected.
