[opensuse] Epson Scanner V500 Isn't Detected
by Mark Misulich 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Hi, I installed Opensuse 42.2 on a computer that I finished building the other day. I am using KDE 5.8.6-7.1 as the desktop environment. I am trying to install an Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner that I have used for maybe 7 years on my previous desktop computer using various Opensuse versions starting with 12.something up to 42.2, with the Epson iscan installation software for this scanner. The version of this software is iscan-bundle-1.0.4.x64.rpm But the scanner won't install on this computer using yast; here's the details. In yast in the Scanner Configuration window, it shows the following: Driver Scanner epkowa No scanner recognized by this driver Not Configured Epson Scanner USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON Scanner] at libusb:001:015 epkowa is the driver I use for this scanner, and is supplied by the iscan driver bundle. It has always recognized the scanner in the past. I downloaded the latest version of the iscan driver bundle from Epson and it installs all the required software to run the scanner using a shell script. If I try to configure the scanner using Yast2, it autoselects Epson Perfection V500 Photo in the Scanner Models dialog box. I then click "Next," and a dialog box informs me "Possibly Problematic Driver The epkowa driver may cause problems on 64-bit x86_64 architecture. Selecting "Continue," Yast does it's thing, and promptly brings me back to the Scanner Configuration window with the same results as I have shown above. What I've tried: 1. Multiple tries of reinstalling the driver software via the shell script. 2. Regressing to earlier versions of the driver software. 3. Trying the 32-bit architecture driver software . 4. Moving the USB cable on the computer from USB3 to USB2 ports 5. Disconnecting the Scanner USB cable from the USB Hub and connecting it directly to the back of the computer, using both the USB3 and USB2 ports. In all cases, the scanner is not recognized. As a final note, yes, the scanner power is on. I would appreciate some help to get the scanner working.

[opensuse] ubuntu reports probs w/new sysd DNS service...is this going to hit openSUSE?
by L A Walsh 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Warning! This could be alot of "nonsense" and be a potentially reactive topic. Please don't escalate things emotionally or no one will ever understand what the facts are. That said, I see some trends/repeated behavior+history consistent with sysd's expansion into other OS functions, so I see no reason to completely disbelieve some of the statements I've read or try to summarize below. Does anyone know what's happening in OpenSUSE related to this? Will it be generating the same types of instability and problems? Will opensuse still support other DNS resolvers (bind/named, dnsmasq, etc) even if they are incompatible with new sysd operation? /There is a sysxxxd vulnerability <https://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3341-1/> in the latest ubuntu distributions due to sysxxxd's new DNS resolver. The inclusion of the dns resolver was lamented by many on the mailing list <https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2016-June/014964.html>, not without cause. All are advised to update their distribution./ New features include(**) -taking over glibc library functions gethostbyname & getaddrinfo in nsswitch to redirect dns calls into sysd's version -changes /etc/resolv.conf creating race conditions with various SW packages. leading to inconsistent address resolution - turns DNS requests into XML requests fed over the sysdbus for requests and answers, duplicating DNS protocol handling code requiring sysd to keep up with DNS changes. - does forwarding-only & relies on DHCP for a full DNS server stripping off DNS security records in the process so sysd-local changes can't be detected by local applications. - scans for its own group of DNS servers on all interfaces and sends out DNS queries on all ports using "first-received" answers vs. authoritative answers (including ones w/NXDOMAIN), allowing easy propagation of poisoned DNS info. - believed not to handle split DNS schemes needed for VPN setups to work correctly. (**- https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2016-June/014964.html) Apparently sysd's DNS changes haven't gone over well in terms of interoperability w/existing DNS -- a persistent theme as sysd takes on a new system function/area. _I_ have more than a little anxiety over the idea that all alternate DNS solutions will be thrown out.. comments? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Services not started after update/reboot
by Peter Suetterlin 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Hi List, Last night I updated our server (Mail, Homedirs etc.). It is running Leap 42.2. The ones I did so far went smooth: Zypper up, then reboot. Not this time: The system rebooted fine, but all client machines were dead because they didn't get the NFS directories: systemd had decided to not start nfs-server, although it is enabled :o So it's not that it tried to start and failed with an error. The first mention of it in the logs was when I manually started it. This morning I found out that the same had happened to postfix: enabled, but not started during reboot. Has anyone seen a similar issue lately, or has some suggestions how to find out why that happened?

Hi, how can I active the Velum dashboard in Kubic? If that functionality is not available, is there any documentation for putting together a kubernetes cluster with Kubic?

Hi all !! Did you happen to have somehow made the browser notification (google chrome) work on an opensuse 12.1 (32 bits)? Yes, I know the best thing to do would be to update the system .. but I have this challenge at work here and I can not update at the moment! kernel linux-o87p 3.1.10-1.29-desktop i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux google-chrome-stable-21.0.1180.81-151980.i386.rpm Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Run keypress from command line
by Paul Groves 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Further in my quest for a working keyboard I want to make my 'close Program' key work correctly. Now I 'could' just go to the keyboard settings find close program and assign it. But then Alt + F4 stops working. So, I could run a custom command on the close program button. So my question is how can I emulate Alt + F4 keypress from a command line? Is it possible? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
