[opensuse] SuSE 42.3 on laptop?
by Markus Egg 30 Jun '18

30 Jun '18

Hello, my trustful laptop had it's final shutdown after 11 years. There are currently 2 choices for my usage (watching videos, doing 3D printing, usenet, dual ethernet). Dell Inspiron 7577 ( 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 16GB) Acer Aspire VX5 ( 512GB SSD + 1.000GB, 16GB) All of them are missing a DVD Writer (or even BluRay player). So which combination of USB (3.0?) Bluray player/DVD writer can I use with the above laptops to install SuSE 42.3 from DVD beside that Windows 10 (dual boot)? Also I need a 2nd Ethernet. I was using PCAMCIA/Cardbus up to now which worked fine, now I have to dump this working hardware also. :-/ Which USB-Ethernet dongles do you suggest? Is there any other better combination? Thanks in advance BR ME -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dd to copy a partition?
by Lew Wolfgang 16 Jun '18

16 Jun '18

Hi Folks, One of my acolytes reported that she used dd to copy one disk partition to another partition on the same disk, as in: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sda2 She said it failed, but was a little fuzzy about exactly what happened (I wasn't there), just that the destination partition appeared to be "empty" after the operation. I don't know how she made that determination. I've been doing UNIX stuff for a long time but I never would have thought to use dd in this fashion. Maybe instinct? But assuming that the two partitions are exactly the same size, what could possibly go wrong? I think she was using 42.3, probably with ext4. Definitely not btrfs, if that matters.

[opensuse] Mailinglist changes going forward
by Simon Lees 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Hello everyone, Firstly I am cross posting this across a number of mailinglists because this post affects several, but I would ask that you keep your replies / feedback on the openSUSE project list as not to fragment discussion. It has been raised with the board by several members of the community that some of our mailinglists have not been working as effectively as we would like. As such and as raised in our annual discussion with the community during the conference, the board has decided to take a couple of steps that we hope will resolve these issues or that will at least be a starting point in resolving these issues. Firstly we have created a new opensuse-support(a)o.o mailing list, we as the board felt that in the transition from factory -> tumbleweed in particular the change in role for opensuse(a)o.o did not work well and in many cases there was an attitude that factory/tumbleweed issues should still be posted on the factory mailing list. As such we have created the support mailing list to help clarify these changes in policy that we don't believe worked when we tried to change them last time. In short we would like you to use opensuse-support(a)o.o whenever you require support whether it is for Tumbleweed, Leap (regardless of whether you are using a Leap beta or not) or any other project under the openSUSE umbrella. This brings us to the next issue, posting bugs / bug reports on mailing lists rather then bugzilla. This is a practice we would like to see stopped and we will be gently reminding people if they continue posting bugs on mailinglists, this especially includes if a package / application breaks when updating tumbleweed / leap (including beta's). We would ask that you search for your issue prior to reporting but in case you accidentally report a duplicate bug its easy for us to mark it as such, also if you report something that is intentional and not a bug it doesn't take long to mark it as such, so if in doubt file a bug rather then posting to a mailing list, there is useful information for filing bugs at the following links [1][2]. But if you are really stuck with trying to file your bug the friendly people at opensuse-support(a)o.o can support you through the process. The board hopes that with the changes outlined above the contents of the opensuse-factory(a)o.o will go back to just being general distro development discussion so if your post to openSUSE factory is something other then that think twice about where the more appropriate place to post is. The new tumbleweed snapshots will continue to be posted to factory but we would ask you do not reply to them in order to report issues / bugs. If a bug is reported that a package maintainer believes will cause significant issues for most tumbleweed users ie not being able to boot / login or severe data loss we still invite the maintainer to post a warning to opensuse-factory but such issues happen very rarely and as such we don't expect to see many such posts. The board has decided that it would like to see how well these changes work before deciding to add / remove / change openSUSE's mailing lists further. Although we have discussed several other possibilities that we could also try in the future. 1. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_reporting_FAQ 2. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

[opensuse] Alt-F2 still doesn't work for man - 15.0
by James Knott 10 Jun '18

10 Jun '18

Once again, pressing Alt-F2 and then entering #<command> does not bring up the man page. This was a very useful feature, that hasn't worked for some time. Any chance of getting it back? When I try to get a man page, at the bottom of the list of things that can be opened, there's a line that says "Locations: Go to man:/", but clicking on it opens Seamonkey. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap 15.0 Networking Woes (NetworkManager conflicts with Wicked)
by Andrei Verovski 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

Hi, I have networking problem with fresh install of Leap 15.0 on 2 pcs, which seem to be similar to the one I had when upgraded 42.3 to Leap 15 late beta. However, this is 100% fresh install on reformatted SSD in HP desktop. Symptoms is the same - after first restart networking service (with Wicked) is broken. Examining logs showed that for whatever reason NetworkManager is not fully disabled. 1 - NetworkManager-wait-online.service still tries to start and fails with timeout error 2 - KDE NetworkManager plazma applet tries to initiate connection on eth0 and fails. It should show “ NetworkManager is not running” instead. I tried to fix this: 1) Disabled NetworkManager.service and NetworkManager-wait-online.service with systemctl disable NetworkManager.service systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service After restart annoying NetworkManager still disrupts networking. 2) Switched in Yast Wicked -> NetworkManager, the back, restart. Problem the same. rcnetwork restart cures problem till next system reboot. I can’t remove NetworkManager because it also deleted KDE / MATE. Switching KDE to MATE do not changes anything. Anyone can suggest what system component (I suspect some freedesktop or dbus-org services) disrupts networking ?

[opensuse] leap15 - how do I enable display power saving ?
by Per Jessen 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

I realised this a while back - in Leap15 on real iron, the display is not being switched into power saving after a while. What do I need to do to enable that?

[opensuse] Idiot Question about Btrfs
by Robin Klitscher 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

For historical reasons my longstanding practice has been to keep two, sometimes three, separate installations of openSUSE on this multi-boot machine. I use one of them as the principal productive installation, with the other(s) available for experiments or as recovery tools if I screw something up in the main installation. Each of the installations has its own segregated (ie non-shared) /home. But, also for historical reasons, they do all share three additional custom mounts, two for general data and one for images, videos and soundfiles. All installations including the three custom mounts are in ext4 only. Currently I have Leap 42.3 as the main daily use installation, with Leap 42.2 and Tumbleweed “in reserve”. My intention is to replace 42.2 with Leap 15 as a fresh installation (not an upgrade), for use as the principal productive installation. My question is about filesystems. I’ve watched the various discussions about Btrfs with interest, though I haven’t understood much of it and have so far chosen to stick with ext4 throughout. But Btrfs seems to be improving, including in the context of rollback. So, what are the implications, if any, of installing Leap 15 using its default Btrfs and xfs filesystems in place of the existing Leap 42.2 installation but leaving the three additional data partitions (and the other installations) formatted in ext4? Alternatively, should I also convert the three shared data partitions now in ext4 to Btrfs? If so, does that mean that the root filesystem for each of the other installations should also be converted to Btrfs? Or doesn’t it matter? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grub Customizer broken in 15.0
by James Knott 03 Jun '18

03 Jun '18

I installed 15.0 on my notebook computer, where I have both Linux and Windows installed. This means I need a boot menu to select which OS I want to use. In the past, it was possible to edit the boot menu. Someone decided to "improve" things by removing that possibility. I then had to install Grub Customizer to edit the menu. That's now broken with 15.0. On top of that, my Grub menu has 15.0 twice, but no mention of Windows and no way to fix that. Is there any way to edit the menu now? Why was this even broken in the first place? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
