I'm sure someone has a quick explanation: a) zypper addrepo 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:containers/openSU…' This fails: Download (curl) error for 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:containers/openSU…': Error code: Bad URL Error message: Protocol http not supported or disabled in libcurl b) zypper addrepo 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/containers/openS…' Works fine.

[opensuse] prime-select: unable to query GPU information
by Daniel Bauer 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hi, I just upgraded my asus laptop with intel/nvidia graphics from 42.1 to 42.3, all went well so far. But when entering prime-select nvidia I get: ERROR unable to query GPU information The script runs anyway, I guess, because when I reboot at some point the screen with the boot messages begins to flicker heavily (I could not read the last message...). I had to restart and boot to runlevel 3, then entered "prime-sectect intel" and now I can boot normally - but of course only using the intel card. I don't know which information you need to help me: please ask and I'll try to provide it. Thanks for your help!

[opensuse] Which distros for ReiserFS?
by Stevens 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

On the odd chance that I was ignored for possibly hijacking a thread, I shall start a new one but copy and paste my comments in hope of an answer: (re: Killing ReiserFS) I have been following this thread with some interest because of having been running ReiserFS since before he turned homicidal. I have had zero, count that ZERO, problems in all that time so I read with some dismay the effort to actively kill its usage in this whatever-you-call-it distro. I think that the more relevant question to ask is not "can we keep this file system around, pretty please" but "what distros are allowing its use by not actively trying to kill it"? I have used opensuse since before Mandrake went away, which has been a while and, although I don't really want to change distros, I am not married to suse (or leap, or whatever). I feel that what we have here with opensuse/leap is an example of the classic "swing" cartoon which shows the stages of project development from sales, engineering, installation and what the customer actually wanted. My need is not as complex as some and for that ReiserFS works quite well. So, my question remains, "If not suse/leap, then who"? Hopefully someone will know what distros allow the freedom to use whichever FS one wishes without running afoul of the FS nazis. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Permissions, systemd and automount
by Roger Oberholtzer 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

I am trying to use x-systemd.automount,noauto in /etc/fstab to set up automount of disks. For the most part it works fine. I am struggling with permissions. When the disk is, say, CIFS, I can add uid=roger to /etc/fstab and the files will belong to roger. This is because the file system itself does not have user ownership of individual files. Or at least the CISF driver makes it so. If I want this to work with ext4, this seems not to work as I would like. The problem is the top-level mount point. I do not seem to have any control over the permissions. So if a user inserts a disk, they cannot make any files in the top level of the disk. But that is what I need. When we were not using automount, the mount point's permissions were whatever the disk file had. They were not changed by the mount command. Autofs sets the permissions to rwx------. We really want to use autofs. If the disks are not inserted and they are in /etc/fstab, the system will not boot. Autofs solves this nicely. Any ideas on how to sort out permissions when systemd is managing autofs? I have googled, but all seems to discuss when you set up autofs yourself. I can do that. But we are trying to make this less complicated for the people who are managing the systems. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Display artifacts in Leap 42.3, on oldish laptop with Intel Video
by Carlos E. R. 04 Mar '18

04 Mar '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I just upgraded my laptop to Leap 42.3 from 42.2 (offline upgrade aka dvd method), and I see artifacts on the display: areas that do not redraw, typically the menu area of a window. Some time whole windows that take seconds to redraw after switching the workarea. Gkrelmm has zones that are unreadable for long time, even if I put another window on top to try force a redraw (the CPU_0 panel, for instance, is gargabe). This instant, the whole Thunderbird went unreadable as I switched worskpace (I'm typing at Alpine).

[opensuse] How to Remove Packman
by Richmond 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

I received a security update for Lame, but it wouldn't install due to vendor change. I decided to remove Packman as I only use it for playing MP3 and it doesn't seem to be necessary for that anymore. So I went into yast2 sw_single and selected the repository view, and selected Packman and then selected Delete all packages in this list. I had to resolve dependencies which I did by selecting downgrade or de-installation in every case. One of the things it removed was Chromium. I then disabled Packman, and re-installed Chromium. But this seemed to re-install libmp3lame from Packman even though it was disabled. So I removed it again and then removed Packman, then re-installed Chromium. This time it installed libmp3lame0 from openSUSE-Leap-42.3-Update. So what is the correct procedure for doing this, and why does yast2 install software from disabled repositories? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to "clean" memory and swap without booting?
by Daniel Bauer 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hello, firefox sometimes fills my memory (*) and then the system begins to swap and slows down. So I closed all firefox windows - no change. I logged out and in again - no change. I did swapoff -a, and then swapon -a and this freed swap, but still memory is almost full, so it would soon again start swapping. How can I get rid of all that memory that firefox has "eaten" without rebooting? Thanks for hints! Daniel (*) This happens when I open and close many windows. Concrete: I am looking thru an archive of a tumblr blog and click on the thumbs, which opens new windows. Then maybe I do something in that new window (for example reblog or like) or just close it again and go on in the archive. Sometimes I go thru that archive for many years, thus many scrolls down. I guess, firefox keeps all in memory what I've looked at, and so of course it fills up memory. I would have thought, that this gets freed when I close all firefox instances, but no. So then I thought it should get free at least when I log out and in again, but no. So, to get back may system to normal working speed I need to reboot. Like every two hours... I'd love to have a better solution... -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer http://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] vsftpd transfer limit?
by Peter Suetterlin 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi list, I'm running a vsftpd server on my gateway machine (Leap 42.3). I try to set it up so someone can upload things there. This works fine, however I only get 1MB/s upload speed :( If I use scp instead (from the same source computer), I easily get 6-7MB/s, probably limited by the decryption on the Celeron CPU (plain downloads go past 10MB/s) So something is limiting ftp upload - but what? I tried the *_max_rate settings in vsftpd.conf. They had not been set, and should default to 0 = unlimited. I setthem to 0 explicitely, but no change. I also checked on the sending side whether the client has limits, but ftp> throttle put Put transfer rate throttle: off; maximum: 0; increment 1024. Does someone have an idea (or know from own experience...) what else might be limiting the speed? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
