Does it matter for the public that is considering what distro to install, are they scientifics? Are they going to analyze critically the phoronic testing? No. I posted relevant examples of people with importance (technical magazines that are read by normal people), and you discard them... Ok, go ahead, bury your head in the sand. I'm tired of meeting Linux people and being the only one using openSUSE, getting laughs and derision for choosing such a bad distro (their words). They don't make me change my choice, but neither will you get more people to install openSUSE... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse] moving /var from a prefailure disc to a new one, saving a kvm installation
by stakanov 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

Hi. I have long time ago on my TW system moved /var to a separate disc. This mainly because I have my virtualised disks on it, with kvm/quemu and I needed a lot of space. I also wanted to avoid them, exactly in the current scenario were I did brake the system and reinstalled. Now the situation: I am referring to what I did to https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-move-var-directory-to-another-partition I have /dev/sda1 (for boot/efi) /dev/sda2 (2 GB swap) /dev/sda3 (root) on a ssd (sda) then /dev/sdb1 (for old var - this disc shows in smart prefailure and old age, read errors and had to be changed urgently). It was worth 500 GB data and was mounted as /var (currently it is NOT mounted as var, as the installation was not possible to a problem with the partition) I have a former /home that was already migrated on /dev/sdc1 (with 2 TB of space now) and that will be attributed to /var I have a new /dev/sd1 drive with 4 TB of data for /home (the old went straight anyway...). The system on sda and with sdd1 as /home works perfectly. Now I want to save my kvm data. I did mkdir /mnt/oldvar mkdir /mnt/newvar then mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/oldvar mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/newvar I then issued # rsync -aqx --progress /mnt/oldvar/* /mnt/newvar and copied all the old unused var to the new location. So at least the kvm data is now save. Now, I would like of course to mount the /mnt/newvar as regular /var and I wanted to ask: can I do this, or is it necessary to rsync the /var of now to the /mnt/newvar and if so, how can I be sure that data that is not there (my old kvm) is not erased and that my content of /var of the current system is actually taken. Or can I simply to what is in the howto and mount the old var (as logs I would only loose the successful installation... but temp system files etc? As I have not experience to migrate /var in these conditions, I would be grateful for some insight. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] CIFS and missing files in directory listing
by Roger Oberholtzer 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

I have mounted a Windows 10 share on openSUSE 42.3. On the Linux side, all existing files are not shown. They exist on the Windows server, but they are not seen on the Linux side. They are accessible. But they do not show up in a directory listing. There is a description of what I think is going on here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-cifs/msg14405.html I realize that 42.3 is long in the tooth. But I have no choice but to use it in the system of interest. Anyone know if this has been fixed in openSUSE? And if so, when and where? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Libre Office freezes on startup Leap 14.3
by Jim Sabatke 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

LibreOffice 5.3.3.2-1.2 freezes on the initial loading window. I checked /var/log/messages and it's no longer there. I ran Yast to update OpenOffice, but the broken dependencies seem to never end. Any ideas where to look? TIA, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox 60esr - New Tab, Howto Remove .outer-wrapper height: 100%
by David C. Rankin 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

Tail end of 42.2. Moving from 52.9esr to 60.4esr the new tab for search page is radically different. After disabling all the cruft leaving the search and top-sites (as 52.9) the search bar and top sites are now centered in the page instead of providing a nicely formatted search at the top with top-sites below. Digging with the inspector, the problem is the css on: <div class="outer-wrapper wide-layout-enabled" data-reactroot=""> where you have: .outer-wrapper { display: flex; flex-grow: 1; height: 100%; <-- this is the problem, deleting fixes padding: 30px 32px 32ps; } Removing the `height: 100%;` restores the desired layout. How do I make this permanent in userChrome.css or userContent.css? What do I put there and which file does it go in? Asked on support.mozilla, but no response yet, so I thought I would ask here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1247523#answer-1190570 (screenshot of inspector output posted there) -- David C.

[opensuse] Syncing two imap accounts
by Carlos E. R. 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

Hi, I use imapsync to sync my dovecot imap on my laptop to my desktop. From laptop --> desktop, never in reverse direction. Actually, for the reverse I use plain rsync to copy across all folders. Brute force. When updating it now, I notice this paragraph: «imapsync is not adequate for maintaining two active imap accounts in synchronization where the user plays independently on both sides. Use offlineimap (written by John Goerzen) or mbsync (written by Michael R. Elkins) for 2 ways synchronizations.» Has anybody done that, any thoughts to share? The goal is to keep laptop and desktop machine dovecot accounts in sync, in both directions. Even better, two laptops and one desktop. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Odd system log message about /boot/efi
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

I have a system that is reporting this in the system log: [ 5.931249] FAT-fs (sda2): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck. This is: /dev/sda2 20M 748K 20M 4% /boot/efi Would I really want to run fsck on that? The system is starting/stopping as expected. It is just this message in the system log. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
