Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

[opensuse] Project management software question for project managers
by Ted Byers 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

I am looking for project management software I can install on my Suse box. Alas, there are quite a number of prducts that claim to be suitable project management products, but I am hoping to obtain a little help separating the wheat from the chaffe. Basically, when I open the project management software, I want to be able to choose from among a number of projects that are under way, and then see the relation between a client's wish list and the functional requirements specs, and then how these specs relate to the UML diagrams that have been created, and from there, what tasks have been defined for each requirement and the identity of all persons involved, the developers and their managers, and the person who designed the code that supports the requirement. And with that, I want to be able to see the project's timeline, the related bugs, &c. I would even want to be able to open the source code files and examine the code that was actually written. Here is my wish list: 1) a web application that stores data in either PostgreSQL or MySQL. 2) easy integration with UML tool (or has it's own UML tool that supports round trip engineering) 3) resource management (e.g. computers, and development tools, that can be used, personelle assigned to each task) 4) documentation of relation between functional requirements specs to specific tasks and specific unit and integration tests. 5) time/effort tracking 6) bug tracking, including data relating the existance of the bug, and effort required to fix it, to the person who wrote the original code, the person who supervised him or her, and the person who designed the 'feature' in question, the time taken to complete the original task, and the technologies used (to imprrove accountability as well as to determine retraining and continuing education needs (people aren't disposable, so instead of taking a harsh aproach to problems identified, I prefer to use education as a corrective, but I can't design corrective instruction without knowing precisely what the need is). I also need to know if a developer has a higher than normal bug rate simply because he doesn't take enough time to ensure the job is done right, or because I haven't adequately trained him, or because of a poor choice of tools, or somethng else that may be my fault. 7) use of task effort tracking history to generate provisional effort/cost estimates from new project's functional requirements 8) easy integration with open source ERP products like OFBiz (which may make trakcing resources and manpower easier, as well as connect real production data to the enterprise's accounting systems) 9) easy integration with CMS products, like Wordpress (especally for production documentation, includng degin documentation and user guides and reference manuals) 10) easy integration with verion control systems such as subversion. If there is a decent product that supports all of this, great (and language used to implement it doesn't matter), but if I have to write code to add missing requirements, then I am limited to those implemented using Perl or Java (and running on Tomcat). I don't know PHP well enough, and I don't know Ruby at all; and I really don't want to think about implementing this sort of thing in C++ (though I could if absolutely necessary). If you have project management experience, and use tools that are available for Suse Linux, what software product(s) did you use, and with what result? While I await relies, I will continue to review web documentation for those products I have found so far, to see if any of them are a) suitable for use in production and b) to see to what extent they support the features I am after. I have seen a number of products so far in my search, that deserve to be nameless, because they provide no way to relate cost estimates to one's team's track record, or to the details of the design, and seem satisfied with production of a pretty gantt chart (which is why I have formed the view that there is a whole lots of chaffe in the set of applications that call themselves project menement software - I have yet to find anything that really has the potential of being labelled wheat).

[opensuse] Kernel compilation the openSUSE way?
by Bjoern Voigt 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

I usually take the newest openSUSE kernel (from repository Kernel_stable). But since some month I have a DVB T2 HD card, which requires a patch (see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194171). So I need to compile kernels myself. I have a working compilation path. But the current path has 12 steps! It takes some time. I wonder, why it is so complicated to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE. Is there a better/easier/automated way to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE? I know this blog article. But the article uses Vanilla kernels and also needs 6 steps. With additional patches (4 steps), third-party modules (2 steps) and cleanup (1 step) the article would also need 13 steps: Compiling the Linux Kernel, the SUSE way https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/compiling-de-linux-kernel-suse-way/ This is my Kernel configuration, compilation and installation path: 1. Update kernel-source and kernel-default from Kernel_stable repository 2. Save kernel-source: cp -a /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-... /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my 3. Apply my patches cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my patch -b -p1 < ~myuser/.../my-kernel-patch.patch 4. Copy standard configuration: cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my cp -v /boot/config-4.11.4-1.gcba98ee-default .config 5. Edit .config: remove CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, CONFIG_EXPERT remove some hardware-dependent settings 6. edit configuration interactively: Disable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, because otherwise "make binrpm-pkg" creates huge kernel binaries. make oldconfig [...] Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) [] (NEW) -my1 * * Configure standard kernel features (expert users) * Configure standard kernel features (expert users) (EXPERT) [N/y/?] (NEW) Kernel debugging (DEBUG_KERNEL) [N/y/?] (NEW) make menuconfig Do some additional configuration. 7. Compile kernel (-j4 for four processor cores, ionice and nice to reduce the load, binrpm-pkg for RPM without source-RPM) make clean nice ionice -c idle make -j4 binrpm-pkg 8. Install the kernel RPM package rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-4.x.y_my1-....x86_64.rpm 9. Install necessary symbolic links for "dkms" cd /lib/modules/4.x.y-my1 ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my source ln -sv /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my build 10. Update third-party modules (e.g. Nvidia driver): dkms install -m nvidia -v 375.66 -k 4.x.y-my1 11. Cleanup cd /usr/src/linux-4.x.y-my make clean 12. Select Grub configuration and reboot grub2-once --list | less grub2-once 2 reboot Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Raid, Raid6, what file system for good fault tolerance?
by cagsm 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

Hi list, speaking about software raid, not hardware controller based. I am trying to go for some local OpenSuse machine and adding some storage to it. Was considering Raid6, and now reading about a bit and people left and right scaremongering about the larger the disks these days in the double digit terabyte capacities even, the more likely it is that during a reconstruction of a raid subsequent errors would occur. I would absolutely like to keep my data consistent, and I am not thinking about double digit terabytes either, would stick to 2TB or 4TB disks, with Raid6 thats at least 4 physical drives. Now I am wondering if it possible to use a good robust file system that can add some more parity or check blocks or redundancy on top of the hardware disks, to absolutely be able to always read my data. I can't add multiple machines or like those high availability stuff like clusters and what not I read about DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device), or maybe I am just too scared by those technical terms or consider myself to be just a simpleton and wanting to keep it rather simple. My use case here is also not constant availablity, when a disk needs to be replaced, so be it, but I don't want to lose my data that I can not ever read certain parts of it again or such stuff. The thing that came to my mind was, if there is some file systems that would add redundancy and robustness onto the mdraid system of the linux kernel? Anyone with some useful insights? Roughly speaking, I was considering some simple pcie esata interfaced controller card and an external case enclosure with esata port and portmulitplier stuff inside, that can present at least 4 physical disks as JBOD, just a bunch of disks, so that the Linux can seem them all separately. Speed and rebuild times are not my concern, but data persistence and data integrity. Not even number of physical disks, I could live with even one of those 8 bay device enclosures and cases that are out there on the market.

[opensuse] Spec'ing a 50 TB dedicated storage subsystem and room to grow?
by Greg Freemyer 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

All, I bought a used iSCSI based Drobo in 2016 with 50TB in it. It works great, but it isn't fast by today's standards. (100 MB/sec absolute max). And I never got it to work from openSUSE (Windows and Mac did work). I now need to buy something similar, but with fast I/O and Linux support: 10 Gbit Ethernet and fibre-channel may be my only options? Or are there point-to-point SAS external racks I should consider? Also, I will likely want to put a SSD based cache in the mix at some point. It could be integrated into the storage subsystem, or I could use something like bcache and have the SSD be in the server,. It just needs to be reliable and fast. Recommendations? (I'm thinking used and $10K at the high-end for the subsystem including PCIx cards and switches, if needed.) == details I need to buy a server with 50TB usable disk for a production environment. A high speed disk subsystem is critical. And the project may scale up over time. It doesn't need to be a fail-over cluster, just a single server. I'm looking at used equipment most likely. I was thinking one with 4 CPU sockets would let me start with 2 CPUs and then expand to 4 later on. Lots of RAM capacity would also be great. My first thought was to get a Dell R920 and throw a bunch of disks in it. https://goo.gl/images/x3Rfj2 24 disk slots! But then I looked at what size drives are available for those slots: 2.5 inch. I only see 2TB drives max. I'm hoping to use a Dell server because it's the preferred brand at my (new) job. Unless I'm missing something a standalone rack mount Dell won't work. So, now I'm looking at a used R820 most likely and some sort of disk subsystem to support it. I picked it because it is only a 5-year old design and it has 4 CPU sockets I can expand into as the server demand increases over time. Also 3TB max ram is way above what this will require, even long term. https://media.adn.de/media/DE/DocLib/Poweredge_Easy_Matrix.pdf A used, barebones R820 can be had for under $2K. Just add CPUs and ram. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can not send email using postfix on Bell, probably port 25 blocked.
by Carlos E. R. 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi, I can no longer send email "normally", I get: status=deferred (connect to mail.gmx.es[212.227.17.174]:25: Connection timed out) on all mail accounts. My guess that suddenly Bell figured out it should block me or port 25 outgoing. Stupid! :-( So I told Thunderbird to send without using postfix, and that apparently works (if you see this, it works), but I want to keep using postfix. TH is using port 465, SSL/TLS, and password. So, in "/etc/postfix/sender_relayhost" I change this entry: robin.listas(a)gmx.es [mail.gmx.es] to this: robin.listas(a)gmx.es [mail.gmx.es]:submission And then I get this on the log: #<2.6> 2018-09-19 19:55:09 Legolas postfix 2044 - - SMTPS wrappermode (TCP port 465) requires setting "smtp_tls_wrappermode = yes", and "smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt" (or stronger) So I do what it says, then I get this on the log: <2.6> 2018-09-19 20:21:50 Legolas postfix 4065 - - C9A36E309E: to=<opensuse(a)opensuse.org>, relay=mail.gmx.es[212.227.17.174]:587, delay=13119, delays=13118/0.5/0.47/0, dsn=4.7.5, status=deferred (Cannot start TLS: handshake failure) <2.6> 2018-09-19 20:21:50 Legolas postfix 4068 - - SSL_connect error to mail.gmx.es[212.227.17.184]:587: -1 <2.4> 2018-09-19 20:21:50 Legolas postfix 4068 - - warning: TLS library problem: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number:ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:252: <2.6> 2018-09-19 20:21:50 Legolas postfix 4068 - - 8AEF1E309F: to=<opensuse(a)opensuse.org>, relay=mail.gmx.es[212.227.17.184]:587, delay=12654, delays=12653/0.7/0.45/0, dsn=4.7.5, status=deferred (Cannot start TLS: handshake failure) So what can I do? it seems a bug in a library, right? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

I am testing ProtonMail Bridge, and find that CM segfaults when trying to switch folders in my ProtonMail account. The folk at claws-Mail think it's the openSUSE version of libetpan (1.8-lp150.1.2) being out-of-date, and that newer releases have this bug fixed. See this bug report: http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4016 Whom should I contact about this? Regards Bob -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.18.5-1.g9e91e29-default Distro: Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.45.0, Qt: 5.9.4 and Plasma: 5.12.5

[opensuse] How to get eth0 up early in boot process
by don fisher 07 Oct '18

07 Oct '18

I am trying to use netconsole to examine some problems I am having booting certain laptops. I am running opensuse 42.3 with generic 4.18.7 kernel configured to include netconsole. After building my kernel and including the proper command (as shown below) in the linux boot string: netconsole=64001@192.168.7.60/eth0,64001@192.168.7.55/34:e6:d7:01:2a:dd I receive the following error message as shown by journalctl: sudo journalctl -b | grep netconsole Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: local port 64001 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: local IPv4 address 192.168.7.60 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: interface 'eth0' Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: remote port 64001 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: remote IPv4 address 192.168.7.55 Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: remote ethernet address 34:e6:d7:01:2a:dd Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netpoll: netconsole: eth0 doesn't exist, aborting Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 kernel: netconsole: cleaning up Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 systemd-modules-load[185]: Module 'netconsole' is builtin From Google(netpoll is intended for monitoring multiple file descriptors to see if I/O is possible on any of them. It supports edge-triggered and level-triggered interfaces.) I looked at dmesg and netconsole is trying eth0: at 2.348515 sec after boot. The first other mention I see of eth0: is at 9.739663 sec. The message is: [ 9.739663] alx 0000:3c:00.0 eth0: Qualcomm Atheros AR816x/AR817x Ethernet [a4:4c:c8:5e:e0:12] which I assume is just recognition if loading the driver. From sudo journalctl -b | grep eth0: Sep 24 22:02:01 dfpc60 wicked[942]: eth0 up Wicked seems to appear about half a second after netconsole looks for eth0: Is there something I can do in systemd, the eth0: configuration, or elsewhere to get wicked to load eth0 earlier? I was a little surprised that netconsole did not go back and try again a little later.

[opensuse] video players and error recovery
by Dave Howorth 30 Sep '18

30 Sep '18

I bought a TV card recently and consequently have become more interested in the capabilities of video players than I was. By default I have tended to use VLC because I like it's interface and it's capability to play videos at faster than normal speeds whilst still producing intelligible audio (good for watching documentaries, I find). But I've also discovered that VLC's error handling is less than ideal. It seems to take quite a long while to recover from an error. So I've experimented with other players to see whether that is the fundamental nature of video (specifically DVB TV) or is player-dependent, and I've discovered that another player - totem (though oddly listed instead as the unspecific 'Videos' in menus) - also has the capability to play sound quickly and seems to have much better error recovery. I've also now noticed that I have totem from the openSUSE OSS repository (Leap 15.0; totem 3.26.0) whilst my VLC comes from packman (3.0.2). So can anybody who understands these things explain why I apparently need to get VLC from packman whilst openSUSE can supply totem and packman don't seem to need to provide a de-crippled version? (whatever crippled means in this context - why do packman need to supply VLC?) Oh and is it worth bug-reporting VLC's error handling? (which I can only do vaguely). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question for SDDM Experts
by stakanov 30 Sep '18

30 Sep '18

Hello everybody. The question: when playing amarok files and having the system screenlocked with SDDM there are the commands visible to be able to play or to pause and the songs name, etc. I would like to know instead, if it is possible to show, that you have new mail. This is particularly useful, IMO, when the system is locked and you pass by after a while. If Kontact would show in SDDM "New Mail" and eventually which Pop account (for privacy it would not be good to show headers or who did write, only that there is mail and how many) that would be awesome. Did anybody set this up, or does anybody know if this is possible? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] no output tty1-6 after tumbleweed 20180920 tty7 ok
by Simon Becherer 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

Hi, i have 5 hardware + software identical systems, only monitor's (always 2 pices) are at one system different. on this system, after update i have no output at screen (only black) at tty 1 to 6. xorg/kde (tty7 graphic is fine) also at loginscreen switching with ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 only black screen's only f7 will work. booting on the same hardware a second tumbleweed installed, same version, but without graphic system installed, there at loginpromt i am able to switch without problems tty. at boot i see the "first part" of the bootmessages, and then at some point screen went black and after some seconds i get graphical login screen but normally i should see longer the bootmessages, normally screen went short black, then messages continue to scroll over screen, and after that the graphical loginscreen will appear. also i do not have any shutdown messages at screen, pressing inside kde shutdown, screen turns black and after a while power will got away. what should i search (maybe inside journal) to find the problem? or is this a know issue? should i asked at the factory@ list because it has something to do with a tumbleweed update? simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, i am searching the zypper manpage, but not finding / understanding it: (i do not often use zypper commandline) is there a syntax for only download a complete repo (all rpm's) or at least one rpm? -> i have a non browsable repo for closed source software (we pay for it). i like to store all rpm-files locally. to have the benefit to easily roll back if a new version is incompatible with our systems, or has a bug.

[opensuse] audio 2.1 on leap 42.3
by jdd＠dodin.org 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

Hello, I wonder how to make apps in leap 42.3 use my Asus laptop 2.1 audio system (external sort of boomer) in kde setup, I have only the choice between 2.1 and hdmi 7.1. The first is default and the three speakers works perfectly on test but when I run firefox or vlc (vlc setup to 2.1), no sound goes through the boomer... I understand the audio track is certainly not 2.1, but usual devices do cope with this (my TV set sound 7.1 with stereo entry) any hint? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] connection refused on telenet command

24 Sep '18

I have disabled the firewall of opensuse 42.3. I am trying to set up my machines so that I can use netconsole to log messages that would normally be sent to the serial port on boot failure. I cannot get telnet to send a message to the host it is on. nc -l -u 23 | tee ~/netconsole.log is the command listening telnet dfpcxx is telnet command entered. I receive: telnet: connect to address 192.168.7.xx: Connection refused Since the firewall is disabled, what is refusing the connection? I get nothing in /var/log/messages and nothing in dmesg. Is this some damn PAM or other thing that is lurking unseen and unreported in the background? Any help would be appreciated.

[opensuse] Interesting new feature in Thunderbird 60: global search
by Carlos E. R. 22 Sep '18

22 Sep '18

Hi, I found a new feature in Thunderbird, under settings, advanced: Enable Global Search and Indexer. A new search box appears on the "third" status bar on the top, that says "search Ctrl-shift-k". It took something like two days busy to create the index, then on "enter" it creates a new tab with the finds, and a left panels with data and controls. Per people and per folder sort, per mailing list, per account, per tag... Once the index is created, it is fast locating mails. I don't know where the index is stored, but my global-messages-db.sqlite file is now 760 megs. I also do not know if it can take advantage of server side indexing (dovecot), but I do not have it enabled. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))

[opensuse] swap performance
by Peter Suetterlin 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

Hi, I just had to hard-reset my laptop :( Running some memory-intense application, it started hitting swap. I already then noticed hangs in both graphics display and the music i was playing in background. The application continued to use more memory, when at some point the whole system basically froze. Swap fill was around 60% at that moment. Music started strongly stuttering, after some 30s or so stopped completely. Mouse cursor almost frozen first, still doing some jumps, then also dead. It stayed like that for 9 minutes, then suddenly music started again, display updated - only to freeze again after a short moment (a few 10s). That was the moment I pressed the button. I checked the log. Absolutely nothing mentioned in the journal, no faults or errors. I checked the swap partition. It's on an SSD, and I can read/write at expected rates without errors. WTF is the system doing there? Has anyone seen similar problems lately?

[opensuse] MS Exchange Webmail and Thunderbird
by Lew Wolfgang 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Hi Folks, I thought I'd mention this here before making a bug report, somewhere. Thunderbird 60.0-74.1-x86-64 on Leap 42.3 fails to decrypt email when encrypted with a Smartcard on Microsoft Webmail. Decryption of the identical email works as expected with TB 52.9.1-71.1-x86_64. Decryption also works on Outlook encrypted mail. Only mail encrypted with Webmail is affected. The encrypted message body shows a blank screen with a pkcs7-mime attachment on 60.0. A look at the raw messages show that Webmail wraps its MIME attachments a bit differently. Workaround of going back to 52.9 and locking works for now. Where would I submit a bug report? openSUSE or Mozilla? It's convenient to say its Microsoft's problem, but that doesn't fly if it worked with 52.9.

[opensuse] DNS not working on 15.0
by James Knott 18 Sep '18

18 Sep '18

This morning I noticed a problem with DNS resolution on my ThinkPad E520. I am not able to resolve host names. However, other devices, connected to the same network work OK. Even Windows 10, in a virtual machine on this computer, works fine. With Wireshark, I see no DNS packets, even when I use the host command. Resolv.conf doesn't list any DNS servers. This computer uses network manager and the problem occurs with both Ethernet and WiFi. I can ping by IP address, but not host name. I checked all the settings I could think of and nothing seems amiss. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this is some recent updates, but not sure. Any ideas? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Anyone can suggest right way to do this ? Thanks in advance. "dracut -vf" lists all stuff it is including into initramfs, so I can say for sure my mod doesn't work.

[opensuse] partition type is microsoft but filesystem is ext4
by George from the tribe 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

Not sure how I did this, but it happened before I upgraded to tumbleweed a couple of months ago, but I only noticed it now. On the partition in question, I had opensuse 42.2 installed, so I went in, changed all my repositories to tumbleweed, and did an online upgrade, and have been operating like that ever since. I noticed this morning while setting up my backups, that it turns out the partition type is "Microsoft basic data" but the file system type is ext4. -------------------- /home/george # gdisk -l /dev/sda GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.1 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.

[opensuse] Q: How to set min battery voltage on laptop

However, even after battery stats reset with Lenovo Power Management software, battery capacity and remaining time are being displayed incorrectly, data is based on old 2200 mAh cells, now new 3500 mAh ones. Since I did not found a way to reset battery EPROM chip, the only way is to set minimum battery voltage is to hack parameters of either kernel/acpi or upower. Battery voltage seem to be displayed correctly yet capacity and remaining time are not. Laptop shuts down prematurely with battery still holding enough charge. How to correctly do this ?

Even after installing, I find that when I try to configure the firewall, I get a message firewalld is not running. I can go into Services Manager, to enable and start it. However, after rebooting, while still enabled, firewalld is not starting. Seems to me there's a bit of a problem here. Next, is there anyway to filter outgoing packets? I don't see it in the firewall configuration. I'm trying to block the MAC address from the Ethernet port on my notebook from going out onto the network. This is the unusual situation I referred to. I have a small managed switch, which I configured for port mirroring, so that I can use Wireshark to monitor traffic to other computers. This involves inserting what's commonly referred to as a "data tap" between the two devices. I am using the managed switch in that roll. However, unlike switches from Cisco, Adtran etc., this TP-Link switch allows traffic from the monitor port to pass through the other switch ports. In a network, where a switch is configured for port security, this may cause problems, in that the port may be shut down, if an unauthorized MAC address appears on that port. Since this switch I'm using to monitor the connection allows frame from the mirror port out, this might actually cause a failure. My goal is to block any frame with the Ethernet port MAC address from leaving the computer. While I could write the appropriate IPTables commands to do this, I would prefer to do it in the firewall configuration, as the network manager supports loading specific zones, but I don't see a way to call a script. I am trying to use the "drop" zone and filtering on source MAC address.

Solaar is a Linux device manager for Logitech’s Unifying Receiver peripherals. It is able to pair/unpair devices to the receiver, and for most devices read battery status. Under Opensuse Leap 15 you may get following error: solaar: error: GObject.__init__() takes exactly 0 arguments (4 given) The solution is to install the package python2-gobject-Gdk This package should be included in the dependencies of solaar.

[opensuse] Using e2fsck in, eg, Leap 15.0
by Basil Chupin 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

Many moons ago, when nobody ever walked into a lamp post while staring into a smartphone, one could check the status of the ext4 file system where oS was installed (as a for instance, /dev/hda3). To do this, one first issued (as root) the command: init 1 followed by mount -o remount, ro /dev/hdXY and then issuing: e2fsck /dev/hdXY (preferably) without any parameters. Now, I see that 'e2fsck /dev/hdXY' (man e2fsck) this command is still available and effective but the 'mount -o...' command does not 'work' anymore. What is the new way, please if anyone knows, to check the status of the ext4 file system?

[opensuse] USB stick is not writeable after playing content on smart TV
by Albert Oszkó 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

Hi all, My problem is shown in the subject. I just wanted to try whether our not too young, not too smart TV can play mkv files. So I copied two videos on a 8G FAT 32 USB stick. The TV could play both files, with sound. I waned to add some more files from my laptop, but the drive is not writeable any more. Not as superuser. I see the content and can play the two video files on the laptop. I noticed that a new directory, called DVR was created. What can I do besides reformatting? Thanks, Albert

[opensuse] UEFI, dual boot, and shrinking Windows partition
by Mikhail Ramendik 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

Hello, So I have this Lenovo AMD A6 laptop with 4 Gb of RAM and an HDD (not SSD). And under Windows 10 it is s-l-o-w, but my wife uses it and she has one indispensable Windows application. I would like to make this a dual-boot machine, so that if Linux proves much faster, we could try that application under WINE, or try VirtualBox with some very old Windows in it, or, finally, see if an open source replacement can be made to work for her. But it's a recent laptop so it has UEFI and Secure Boot and all that. Also, no optical drive at all, of course. So what can I do to make this into a dual-boot machine with OpenSUSE?.. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What fills root if not snapshots
by Albert Oszkó 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

Hi all, This Asus laptop (with TW and KDE) was not used for ten days. Yesterday evening I switched it on and saw I have >800 updates. I tried tio install them with zypper dup. I failed, because root got full. This was with 4.18.0 kernel. I managed to boot into 4.17.14 kernel (got some complaints, but none showstopper) and manually remove all downloaded rpm packages from /var/cache/zypp/packages with mc. Dolphin did not start in superuser mode. All these deleted and having only the 0 and 1 snapshots, I have less than 600 M in root from 40 G. And I have no idea where is the rest of the space? Can I get any help? Albert

[opensuse] Halp! After reboot, simple Leap 15.1 system stalls at grub2 with hd0 error
by cagsm 06 Sep '18

Something like invalid read or write on (hd0) and something about ramdisk and you need to load kernel first or something. What happened? Some dracut updates or whatever and and I needed to do maintenance on my power supply here, and after the start up of this system it is in this limbo state now. Sigh :( Any helpers? What can I do? I think I have pretty simple swap, / and /home three partitions, thats all. Simple mbr disk. What now? And even more interestingly, WHY oh WHY? :( Is this some known issue with recent boot/disk related updates and patches? I always do zypper ref zypper up Eventually this system got itself a shutdown and now the boot up attempt totally fails :( Thanks for helping. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Searching a tool for Samba ACL management
by Bjoern Voigt 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

I have to manage some projects and work groups on a openSUSE Samba server. The project members are changing from project to project. Minimal permissions are required, because of the "need to know" principle, established during an external auditing process. I often have the task to setup permissions like this for a project folder. * a group A with write access * an additional user B with write access * a user C with read access * new files and directories should get the same permissions as existing files/directories * sub-directories sometimes have more, less or other permissions * optional, but may be required in future: reporting of all permissions (for the auditing) It is clear, that I need ACLs on the Samba server to fulfill the requirements. On average I have to change permissions of around one project folder (with many sub-folders and files) a day. In most situations the project folders are in use. The Samba server and my desktop PC run on openSUSE. The project members run Windows 10, but do know nothing about Windows/Samba ACLs. Which tool is best suited for the task to setup (and optional report) Samba/Windows ACLs? I already tested some tools and methods: 1. chown, chgrp and chmod only possible directly on the server; not capable of ACLs another than Unix standard (owner, group and others) 2. chown, chgrp, chmod, setfacl and getfacl (my current method) works, but takes some time on usage; difficult; only possible directly on the server; can be scripted, if the tasks are comparable; not very fail-safe (of course because of usage errors) 3. smbcacls works, but is slow; difficult; needs a login for each execution; no recursion 4. Windows file properties dialog, security tab works, but I have to start a Windows VM extra for this task; no reporting 5. Cacls (Windows) works, but I have to start a Windows VM extra for this task; difficult 6. Winacl (FreeNAS) Only for Samba servers on FreeNAS; only possible directly on the server 7. Local administration (mounted CIFS share) with "multiuser" mount option even with the "multiuser" mount option owners, groups, permissions and ACLs of the original files/directories on the server are hidden on the client Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kernel patch needed for Leap upgrade
by DennisG 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

I am planning a Leap 42.3 => 15.0 upgrade along with new AMD B450/Ryzen 5 2400G hardware. After the upgrade I intend to install the 4.18 kernel from kernel:stable to enable using the integrated VEGA graphics. However, there are recent reports of the Leap install failing due to the ccp kernel module locking up on a bug in the amd firmware. Apparently this is not fixed in the most recent kernel. A kernel patch was submitted only just yesterday that works around this issue: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1534367485-4386-2-git-send-email-brijesh.singh… I have no idea how to determine when this patch is applied to an opensuse kernel, and which/where that kernel is.

[opensuse] No duplicate address detection or gratuitous ARP on 15.0
by James Knott 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

I was just doing some checking with Wireshark and noticed Leap 15.0 does not appear to use either DAD or gratuitous ARP on an Ethernet connection. Gratuitious ARP is an older method of detecting address conflict and DAD is newer. But it appears 15.0 does neither. Not only do they detect address conflicts, but also let switches and other devices know that the NIC is connected. Why is this not happening?

[opensuse] Any advise on encrypting a file system for personal data on openSUSE?
by Linux Kamarada 02 Sep '18

02 Sep '18

Hi, everyone! Recently, as I told on another thread, I installed openSUSE in dual boot with Windows. I would like to encrypt a partition I use to store my personal files (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music and Videos). I want to use a file system that can be mounted read/write on both Linux and Windows. Is there any recommendation/advising/suggestion on which encrypted file system I could use to achieve that? I searched the opensuse and opensuse-factory mailing lists and didn't find any for Leap 42.3 and 15.0. openSUSE docs talks about LUKS, but I googled briefly and LUKS support on Windows is abandonware... Maybe I explain better showing my partition setup: Windows recover partition - 499MB Windows reserved partition - 99MB Windows (C:) - NTFS - 100GB openSUSE (/) - Btrfs - 100GB Personal files (D:) - NTFS - 200GB * Home (/home) - XFS - 30.53GB ** Swap - 16GB * This partition I want to encrypt and have it accessible on both Linux and Windows ** This partition I just want to encrypt Thank you in advance!

[opensuse] SOO: TW version numbers

Hi list, I noticed strange version numbers for (at least two) Tumbleweed packages on software.opensuse.org. E.g., for GIMP it lists 2.6.12 as official release (actually in the repo is 2.10.4), for kstars it reports 4.8.2 (no idea where that even comes from - recent is 2.9.8). I'd expect there are more of them. Where are those numbers coming from? If I go to the kstars project page in openSUSE:Factory it lists 2.9.8. Should this be bug-reported? (where?).

[opensuse] Firefox: is this a possible security problem?
by Basil Chupin 01 Sep '18

01 Sep '18

I am running Leap 15.0 but with 2 "non-standard" files: #1 - kernel-4.18.0-1, which comes from repo. '.../stable/standard/'; and #2 - Firefox v62.0b1x, which I download directly from Mozilla. I have no problems re the kernel but I mention it here to show that there is at least this file which is not 'standard' in my installation of Leap 15.0. However, I have just experienced something regarding the version of Firefox which I did not expect and something which didn't happen in the past (as in many moons ago when I last used a Nightly version of either Firefox or Thunderbird). And what happened raised in my mind whether this is a security problem for a Linux system (ie, openSUSE). Let me explain. Since 28 July I have been downloading and using Firefox downloaded from Mozilla site -- the file is a *.tar.bz2 file which I then unarchive (using the F2 option in Midnight Commander (mc)); I then copy the '/firefox' directory resulting from this un-archiving to my /home directory. To use this [new] version of Firefox I then edit the Firefox entry in the Applications menu and edit the Command to read '~/firefox/firefox %u'. When I began doing this I started with Firefox v61.0.1, but on 5 August I downloaded and started to use FF v62.0b14, followed by v62.0b15 on 10 August. For all of the (3) preceding files I downloaded the files myself, unarchived them, deleted/renamed the '/firefox' directory in '/home', and copied across the new version of FF to my '/home'. Until today. What occurred today is something which I did not expect on a Linux system: Firefox *UPGRADED* *ITSELF* to version 62.0b17. As I did in the past to download the latest version of FF, I clicked on HELP and when the box-menu appeared there was the message, normally seen on a Windows installation, "Restart Firefox to <something>' and the version number showing was 62.0b17. === Now that I have written the above, I just now looked inside the '/firefox' directory in my '/home' and found to my surprise 2 files: 'updater' (156, 296 bytes big), and 'updater.ini' (681 bytes big). The contents of *.ini' is attached. The only conclusion I can come to is that Firefox updated itself -- similarly to what it does in Windows! But how is this allowed in openSUSE/Linux? I do understand that I manually installed Firefox in my /home directory and that it wasn't installed in the directory /usr/lib64/firefox accessed only by root but I certainly do not expect a program to self-update/upgrade without my manual intervention. If openSUSE now allows the execution of the 'installer' in Firefox what is there to stop that 'installer' being modified to cause damage to the system? (BTW, the same 'installer' is present in Thunderbird downloadable from Mozilla -- and I am using TB v60.0 [created 1 Aug].) Is this ability in Firefox, and Thunderbird, acceptable behaviour or am I being paranoid?

The page itself is darkened with a blue 'kitt car' line in the middle. That stays there even after I close the popup, but disappears if I try to take an FF snapshot of it.
