[opensuse] Solaar Opensuse Leap 15
by Joerg Kuehne 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

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. Maybe this helps someone. Jörg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] liberation-fonts update problem
by ken 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

Quite vaguely I recall this problem's possibly being mentioned on this list some months ago, but a search didn't find me the thread. In trying to perform updates, I'm getting this error message: suse-xsl-stylesheets-2.0.7.2-5.3.1.noarch requires liberation-fonts, but this requirement cannot be provided A web search on that error message return null hits. Anyone know the resolution? tnx++ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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

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] Susefirewall drop zone MAC source address
by James Knott 06 Sep '18

Am I correct in assuming that if I select the "drop" firewall zone and enter a source MAC address, all frames from that MAC address will be dropped? tnx jk -- 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] Missing file at Leap15.0
by Carlos Xavier 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Hello, I tried to setup Mariadb-Galera before on Leap 42.3 but I was stuck on not finding a well suited package for it. Leap 15.0 comes with support to Mariadb-Galera, then I installed the following packages mariadb-10.2.15-lp150.2.3.2.x86_64 mariadb-galera-10.2.15-lp150.2.3.2.x86_64 libmariadb3-3.0.3-lp150.1.2.x86_64 mariadb-errormessages-10.2.15-lp150.2.3.2.noarch mariadb-client-10.2.15-lp150.2.3.2.x86_64 When I tried to configure the wsrep_provider I could not find the file libgalera_smm.so anywhere. This file is used on this configuration file /etc/my.cnf.d/50-galera.cnf ... # Full path to wsrep provider library or 'none' wsrep_provider=%{_libdir}/galera/libgalera_smm.so ... Is there another package with it or it was missed when the package was built?
