[opensuse] fdisk can't find USB stick that dmesg finds, and Win10 mounts
by Felix Miata 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

I have 3 identical Adata UV128 16GB USB 3.0 sticks purchased on one invoice 370 days ago: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211760 All worked when new, but only one remains accessible via Linux (TW, 42.3, 42.2, 13.1; on more than one machine) any more. Kernel reports attachment in dmesg, but errors except on the one I reformatted NTFS (to avoid the FAT file size limitation, probably using W10, but I don't remember). I attached dmesg tail so as to avoid line wrap. The last attachment notice is from the NTFS one that works. One of the other two sticks is (FAT32, empty) accessible via Win10. The other makes the device inserted message jump on and off the screen over and over. How does one go about troubleshooting what's happened, since I can't even tell if a partition table exists on two of the three? Win10 diskpart syntax is inexplicable, demanding a disk be selected first, then ignoring that selection has been made. The one that is completely inaccessible has many family photos I put there using 42.1. :-( -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

[opensuse] systemd, gpsd, and sockets
by Roger Oberholtzer 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

We are using the gpsd package as provided by openSUSE Leap 42.3. The package comes with whatever is needed to make it work (or not work...) with systemd. We use serial port GPS receivers, so the udev stuff to start gpsd does not apply. We have gpsd enabled via a call to systemctrl enable gpsd Unfortunatly, gpsd fails to start when this is done. It complains that the sockets it will use are busy. Which is odd because only gpsd should start them. The RPM comes with this file: /usr/lib/systemd/system/gpsd.socket Which contains this: [Unit] Description=GPS (Global Positioning System) Daemon Sockets [Socket] ListenStream=/var/run/gpsd.sock ListenStream=[::1]:2947 ListenStream=127.0.0.1:2947 SocketMode=0600 [Install] WantedBy=sockets.target It is the 2947 ports that it complains about. If we comment these two lines, all is fine. So, what do these lines really mean? Is it that systemd will listen on them, and when there is activity start gpsd? If so, that seems wrong as that is not how gpsd works. It is running because of the systemctrl command. As it should. It must do things like provide system time information long before some client might attach on these ports. Or is there something else that is wrong in the setup? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Synchronization of notes
by Vojtěch Zeisek 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Hi, I'm looking for a way how to synchronize notes. So far I have been using KDE Basket. It is very nice application, but it has no support for syncing. My requirements are: 1) Running in sys tray of openSUSE with KDE (not necessarily KDE application). 2) Synchronization over custom server (I have SFTP, ownCloud, ...). So no solution provided by private company. 3) App available for Sailfish OS and Android (well, Sailfish can run Android apps, but native Sailfish app is better). 4) Web interface is not required, but nice. 5) Fully FOSS solution. 6) Having multiple notes, group them, and so. Rich text is not required. ownCloud offers in its app store several note apps. Does anyone have recommendations which to use? I'm bit confused by high number of them... QOwnNotes http://www.qownnotes.org/ also looks promising, but I'd like to hear some experience before trying to deploy it (or something similar).

[opensuse] These packages need to be selected to install: grub2
by Per Jessen 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

I think this is the first straight installation I've done of 42.3, everything else has been an upgrade. I noticed this in the installatrion summary: Software │ │These packages need to be selected to install: grub2 │Please manually select the needed items to install. Not sure what to make of it. I don't need grub2. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.8°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] life usb key leap
by stakanov 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

where do I find an iso that is capable to start a life system on usbkey I tried with the installation iso and immage writer but the system will not start (recovery starts but I do not have enough idea about the hardware of the system in order to be able to mound manually every f.. disk. And the "start linux system" does hang because of nouveau (gpu lockup). Is this the right way to run a life leap system? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] software.opensuse.org = 422
by listreader 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

On a 423 xfce machine: when going to software.opensuse.org and doing a search (https, firefox 52.4.0), I'm presented with the results for 422. The results for 423 require an extra click on 'show other versions'. Definitely nitpicking, but why is 422 always shown alone first?

[opensuse] journald watchdog timeout on every boot
by mh＠mike.franken.de 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Hi *, starting in October I get the eror message systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Watchdog timeout (limit 3min)! on every boot. System is openSuSE Leap 42.3 with all actual hotfixes including kernel 4.4.92-31. Any idea, what that means and what I can do to resolve this problem? I couldn't find any helpful information on the net. All occurrances of this message are at least two years old and none of them gives a solution. TIA. Bye.

[opensuse] leap42.3 as xen host - wants to install gtk3 ?
by Per Jessen 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

I'm installing leap423 for testing as a xen host. I get gtk3 stuff installed?? For instance: gtk3-immodule-amharic gtk3-immodule-inuktitut gtk3-immodule-thai gtk3-immodule-vietnamese more gtk3 stuff Trying to remove gtk3-data tells me: libgtk-3-0-3.20.10-9.1.x86_64 is needed, trying to remove that: qemu-x86-2.9.0-32.4.x86_64 needs libgtk ?? I guess the latter is fine, but overall the installation drags a few unneeded gtk3 packages along too. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
