[opensuse] Using open source projects to spread malware
by Antonio Ojea 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Hi all, this is just a heads up about a new social-engineering vector for malware using open source projects, more details in the following article [1] As the article mention: >This is apparently what happened to event-stream, a widely used tool that was compromised by a crypto-currency stealing attacker who gained commit access, >poisoned an update, and then locked the project's owner out. > I don't know what to say. #116 [Dominic Tarr/Github] [2] [1] https://boingboing.net/2018/11/26/candy-from-strangers.html [2] https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream/issues/116 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Corrupted video display (intel graphics)
by Carlos E. R. 16 Dec '18

16 Dec '18

Hi, I have another situation with my laptop: unbearable video flickering (Intel) occasionally (but fatal). It happens sometimes after using kodi, sometimes while using kodi in window mode, sometimes it starts later. Once it starts it gets worse and worse till I have to reboot. It starts by the video flickering on the top quarter of the window. If I maximize kodi it stops. Go back to window mode, continues. Then it starts to affect other windows on the system. Yesterday, I used kodi for some minutes, then stopped it, then in Chrome I started to view a video on Amazon Prime Video, and it was heavily affected, but also in window mode, not in full screen. If I casted the display to my Chromecast, this was not affected, but video mode degraded to low res. Then I noticed that "Web Content", the children from firefox (all of them) were at 100% cpu, so I existed firefox, then killed the children. Then the xfce terminals began to have terrible flickering and distortion, it was impossible to read logs. I was trying to see if there was a GPU reset event. Looking now, there wasn't this time. The machine is running now leap 15.0. There was no problem with 42.3 a month ago. minas-tirith:~ # hwinfo --gfxcard 16: PCI 02.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.378] Unique ID: _Znp.rCqQQ9NkN2D SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:02.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x2a42 "Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company" SubDevice: pci 0x3069 Revision: 0x07 Driver: "i915" Driver Modules: "i915" Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xd03fffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xc0000000-0xcfffffff (ro,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0x4110-0x4117 (rw) Memory Range: 0x000c0000-0x000dffff (rw,non-prefetchable,disabled) IRQ: 16 (192437 events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d00002A42sv0000103Csd00003069bc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: i915 is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe i915" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown 26: PCI 02.1: 0380 Display controller [Created at pci.378] Unique ID: ruGf.MfB3K+fOff2 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:02.1 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x2a43 "Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company" SubDevice: pci 0x3069 Revision: 0x07 Memory Range: 0xd2400000-0xd24fffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d00002A43sv0000103Csd00003069bc03sc80i00" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Primary display adapter: #16 minas-tirith:~ # minas-tirith:~ # hwinfo --monitor 22: None 00.0: 10002 LCD Monitor [Created at monitor.125] Unique ID: rdCR.eLo9pOY7oOA Parent ID: _Znp.rCqQQ9NkN2D Hardware Class: monitor Model: "N156B3-L02 LCD Monitor" Vendor: CMO "N156B3-L02" Device: eisa 0x1558 Resolution: 1366x768@60Hz Size: 344x193 mm Year of Manufacture: 2007 Week of Manufacture: 40 Detailed Timings #0: Resolution: 1366x768 Horizontal: 1366 1382 1416 1466 (+16 +50 +100) -hsync Vertical: 768 770 776 788 (+2 +8 +20) -vsync Frequencies: 69.31 MHz, 47.28 kHz, 60.00 Hz Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #10 (VGA compatible controller) minas-tirith:~ # -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

[opensuse] identifying the toolkit an application uses
by Istvan Gabor 16 Dec '18

16 Dec '18

Hello: I don't know if the subject term correctly describes what I want. How can I identify the toolkit an application uses? For example how can I find out whether my pulseaudio or audacious program uses gt2 or gtk3, or my vlc uses qt2/qt3/qt4? For example if I want to change the look of pulseaudio sliders I have to know which theme to modify, gtk2/gtk3 etc. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Q: Unusable Teamviewer V 13 & 14
by Andrei Verovski 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Hi, I have almost unusable Teamviewer on a number of SuSE Leap 15.0 and Tumblweed PCs with MATE desktop. It freezes connections on random intervals (usually very short). As far as I remember, same happens with KDE. Disabled UDP connections as suggested by someone on the forum, didn't help. Tried versions 13 and 14, none work reliably. Tested different configurations, its seems happens ONLY when connecting to another SuSE desktop, in other situation, for example connecting from SuSE to Windows everything is fine. This is somehow related to SuSE, because with Debian 9 & MATE this problem doesn't exists. With old Teamviewer everything worked, unfortunately, Teamviewer 11 and older are incompatible with Leap starting from 42.3 or 42.2, I don't remember exactly (TW GUI won't start at all). Anyone have any clue how to fix this? Thanks in advance. Andrei ******************** This is the last Leap 15.0 system (HP Proliant DL380) where Teamviewer behaves absolutely horrible: hwinfo --gfxcard 09: PCI 103.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.378] Unique ID: kX1R.o_JrRNWqxE3 Parent ID: 6NW+.RcDfn3vgRg7 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:01:03.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:01:03.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "ATI ES1000 515E" Vendor: pci 0x1002 "ATI Technologies Inc" Device: pci 0x515e "ES1000 515E" SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company" SubDevice: pci 0x31fb Revision: 0x02 Driver: "radeon" Driver Modules: "radeon" Memory Range: 0xe8000000-0xefffffff (ro,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0x2000-0x2fff (rw) Memory Range: 0xf1cf0000-0xf1cfffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0x000c0000-0x000dffff (rw,non-prefetchable,disabled) IRQ: 23 (no events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Module Alias: "pci:v00001002d0000515Esv0000103Csd000031FBbc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: XFree86 v4 Server Module: radeon Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Plymouth animation with Nvidia's early KMS
by Oleksii Vilchanskyi 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Out-of-the box after the installation of > nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default | NVIDIA graphics driver kernel module for GeForce 400 series and newerthe Plymouth boot animation doesn't work. That package owns two important files, > % cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf > options nvidia_drm modeset=1 and > % cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/50-nvidia-default.conf > install_items+=" /usr/bin/chmod /usr/bin/mknod /usr/bin/cat /usr/bin/echo /usr/bin/chown " > add_drivers+="nvidia nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-uvm" > omit_dracutmodules+="plymouth" So I proceed to enable early KMS via the kernel parameter, since the required dracut modules are already specified: > % cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf > options nvidia_drm modeset=1 All's fine, KMS works, but the > omit_dracutmodules+="plymouth" line obviously prevents the plymouth animation. If I do (notice the 51-*.conf, so should(?) override 50-*.conf): > % cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/51-nvidia-default.conf > add_dracutmodules+="plymouth" then dracut -f still says that the module will be omitted. So, I ended up commenting this line out from 50-*.conf, and plymouth works just fine. Questions: 1. Why is plymouth disabled by default? Since the required nvidia modules are already added by this config, what can prevent plymouth from working? Aside from the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel parameter? 2. How do I re-add dracut modules after they were omitted (instead of touching the default config)? I would like to use a separate file, because I assume this one gets overridden with every package upgrade, and it's generally sane to separate custom configuration from vendor configuration. -- Thank you, Alex

[opensuse] software.opensuse.org search misery
by Istvan Gabor 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Hello Progress hit this one too: software.opensuse.org/ It was quite useful once. Now it is useless. - doesn't find programs in repos (eg ike in security repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security/ openSUSE_Leap_42.3/x86_64/ike-2.2.1-3.1.x86_64.rpm) - The name of the package is not indicated - the result list's space is taken by big green rectangles - the result list order is arbitrary Due to the last two above it is very difficult to find a specific package, requires a lot of scrolling. Just give a try, eg vice (the C64 emulator) package. How do you locate it in the result list?

[opensuse] updated tumbleweed today and find myself to a emergency console
by stakanov 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Not very informative. The file it says to copy does not exist. Apparently there is an inconsistency with sda3 but does not tell me nothing, as I do not know what the system really calls sda3 now. (fstab is empty it seems?). which command (in rescue mode) can tell me what is sda3 (in terms of hardware / partition. In bios all discs appear, so it is not a cable. The problem happened after the tw update today . I am a bit lost. Not even a dir command works? _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] shrew ike alternative
by Istvan Gabor 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Hello, I've been using shrew ike vpn client for a long time in openSUSE. Unfortunately it is not in the Leap 15.0 repos. What program can I use instead in Leap 15.0? I have to connect to cisco vpn firewall, but I don't know its model. (Before shrew ike I used cicso's linux vpnlcient.) The program should work independently from network manager.

[opensuse] mailx - s-nail provides better features and current development compared to heirloom-mailx
by David C. Rankin 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Note to Devs going forward, Opensuse has always packaged heirloom-mailx as mailx. Historically this has been fine as heirloom-mailx was under reasonable development through SuSE 10, and 11. The current package for Leap 42.3 is mailx-12.5-25.4 (which I believe is a 2010 release) By contract s-nail (https://www.sdaoden.eu/code.html) derived from the same codebase and further extended is under current development with the current released version of 14.9.11. While s-nail is a drop-in replacement for heirloom-mailx, (meaning existing options are the same, etc..), it also provides notable improvements. Specifically the `-M` option that allows you to specify how to treat the Content-type for body text redirected on stdin. Heirloom-mailx provides nothing comparable instead relying solely on the MIME type for attachment content type. May be time to move from the 2010 command line mailer to the present day. Give it a look and compare and if it makes sense, send it over to the factory folks. -- David C.
