[opensuse] DWM Compile FAIL
by Dutch Ingraham 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hi all: New to OpenSUSE as of two days ago. I tried compiling DWM window manager today, which attempt has so far failed. I understand OpenSUSE does not come with a full build environment, so I expected a few errors along the way. In fact, the first two errors were for missing X-libs packages (libX11-devel and libXfti-devel), which I installed. Now, the next errors seem to be because certain header files are not where DWM (or GCC) expects to find them. For example, the first error was (untruncated): dutch@linux-uoyk:~/bin/dwm-6.1> sudo make clean install cleaning dwm build options: CFLAGS = -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Os -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2 -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=2 -DVERSION="6.1" -DXINERAMA LDFLAGS = -s -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXinerama -lfontconfig -lXft CC = cc CC drw.c In file included from drw.c:6:0: /usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:39:22: fatal error: ft2build.h: No such file or directory #include <ft2build.h> ^ compilation terminated. Makefile:18: recipe for target 'drw.o' failed make: *** [drw.o] Error 1 dutch@linux-uoyk:~ In fact, ft2build exists, but instead of being located in <config/ftheader.h> as expected, it is in <freetype2/config/ftheader>. So, I made that change, and the error disappeared. Next error was similar: In file included from /usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:39:0, from drw.c:6: /usr/include/freetype2/ft2build.h:37:29: fatal error: config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory #include <config/ftheader.h> ^ compilation terminated. Same solution, make the path <freetype2/config/ftheader.h>. Next error, same thing: n file included from drw.c:6:0: /usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:40:23: fatal error: freetype.h: No such file or directory #include FT_FREETYPE_H ^ compilation terminated. OK - you get the picture. Question is, is this PEBCAK, i.e., am I missing some essential build feature? Note: I have checked with one other Linux distro and their header files are as I adjusted them above. So, any ideas? Thanks for your help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

06 Jul '16

Hi, I think this latest patch for libsolv is SERIOUSLY broken (on openSUSE 13.2) "zypper patch" results in a list of several hundred architecture changes, all changing from X86_64 to i586 ????? The patch in question is: openSUSE-2016-838 Please can someone fix that mess ASAP? Thanks MH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Home virtualization lab
by Ciro Iriarte 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

Hi!, I'm building a new NAS box (Leap + btrfs) which is a little over powered so I would love to use it as a personal virtualization lab. Xenserver/ESXi/Proxmox/Acropolis are out because of software R6 and having a single host, so I'm turning to openSUSE. I've worked a lot with Xen years ago but I understand the guys that get all the attention these days are KVM and docker, and Xen might be a second class citizen. Given I would like: - Software R6 on the host - Virtualization nesting - PCI passthrough - Some permanent VMs - Lots of temporary VMs Would you suggest to go with XEN or KVM or Virtualbox in this specific scenario at this point in time?, can I assume docker will place nice with any of them?.

[opensuse] how to sync data with cloud storage manager
by Albert, Oszkó 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

Hi all, I am experimenting with cloud storage manager coming with the default installation in Leap. I added Google drive to it. I managed to upload some files via the manager window. Unfortunately all new files have the name Untitled. They appear in the cloud server (checked via browser), but not in the folder I set in my home directory. Is it possible to synchronize them, like in Dropbox? Regards, Albert

[opensuse] Leap not recognizing blank dvds or cds
by tech＠reachthetribes.org 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

I was going to burn an iso image, and apparently the last time I did it was when I still had 13.2 (that was to burn the iso dvd for installing leap). So this time, while running 42.1, I put in a new blank dvd, and nothing. It won't read. Leap doesn't see anything in the drive. So I tried to put in a blank cd, and it still doesn't see anything. So I put in a cd that has data on it, and no problem, it reads just fine. So I booted into 13.2, and put in the same blank dvd to check, and no problem. In 13.2, the system reads that there is a blank dvd in the drive. Any ideas? Here are some of the technical details: # dmesg | grep dvd [ 2.379159] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray # wodim --devices wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) : ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 dev='/dev/sg4' rwrw-- : 'ATAPI' 'iHAS124 B' ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Recent update to bind-9.9.9P1-36.1 seems to have broken named on Leap 42.1
by Bill Merriam 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

After my most recent "zypper up" on Leap 42.1 the named (daemon) would not start. There weren't any error messages in the system log, it just said named was starting, but it didn't start. There were also updates to procps in the same update. Fortunately for me my backup name server runs 13.2 which didn't receive the update. I used snapper to roll the change back. I will research the problem further on Tuesday if somebody else hasn't figured it out.

Make sure that: if you have IDE for your DVD and SATA for you disk, you try to change IDE port. Sometimes on some boards there is a controller conflict on addresses. If you have SATA for both: make sure that the SATA1 port is the one of the DVD and the boot HDD/SSD on the SATA2. Don't run you DVD Sata in RAID ready mode in BIOS even if the bios allows for it. If you still have difficulty try to run the DVD in the BIOS in IDE compatible mode. Does this change anything? If all of the ports are SATA and of the above simply try random changes of the port. Run the SATA DVD on the principal controller and the SSD/HDD on the secondary controller if you can. That is all what comes to my mind. With newer kernel I have what you have when running IDE/SATA mixed mode. I switched to pure SATA with the order as of above. But mine is an old mainboard, unlike yours. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

My doubt is/was that it is an analogue to ffmpeg- chromium ffmpegsumo-chromium or libxine vs. xinelib so, the question is: does one s.th. that the other does / doesn't/should / shouldn't do? --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.
