And when I have a dongle I extract it, wait for 30 seconds to be sure it unloaded and plug it. It is possible that windows sets the BT hardware in a non recoverable undocumented energy saving state. Would not be the first time. If laptop: try to take off the battery and line and press for 30 seconds the interrupter. Try to start in opensuse at once and perform the procedure. If it suddenly works you have an idea. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postfächer sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

[opensuse] Leap 15.1 transactional server, temporarily remount volumes rw
by Paul Neuwirth 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Hi, I like that idea/concept with the transactional servers very and I am currently testing it. Especially during setting up everything, it would be a great help to remount the current mounted snapshot with write access, so you could use a package manager with UI, like yast. It leads to many reboots, to find out, there are other packages necessary, etc. The shell command of transactional-update is a big help, but in that chroot environment, many tests cannot be done (complexer software/services, kernel modules, etc etc). So is there any way to get the current system (temporarily) r/w? mount -o rw doesn't work, even the command seems to succeed, but it still says "Read-only file system" on opening a file with write permission. If it is currently not possible, would it be hard (or discussable) to implement?

[opensuse] switched fabric using qla2xxx pci card (fwd)
by Paul Neuwirth 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Hello group, I am trying to evaluate use of fibre channel switched fabric. But I am not able to get it working (openSUSE Leap 15.1). I would appreciate, if anybody knows something or where to find (working) instructions. All instructions I found refer to old/or proprietary drivers/methods (kernel 2.6 or older). I use following hardware: -HP branded (AE312 - 60001) QLogic Corp. ISP2432 4G HBA PCIe -IBM branded (2005-B16) Brocade 200E 16 Port FC switch -DS14MK2 Disk Shelf All of those products are EOS and I am not able to get proprietary drivers or firmware updates. According to switch config everything looks fine, I even put all devices into one zone. According to switch configuration, all the targets should be accessible by the initiators: https://www.swabian.net/extern/opensuse/fcaccessibility.png Having set up following options for qla2xxx module ql2xmaxqdepth=16 qlport_down_retry=10 ql2xloginretrycount=30 ql2xextended_error_logging=1 I get plenty of messages I do not understand, but it contains matching WWPN's of the fabric: [ 1050.235686] qla2xxx [0000:01:00.0]-28d9:2: Async-gnlist WWPN 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:45:d6 [ 1050.235688] qla2xxx [0000:01:00.0]-28da:2: Async-gnlist - OUT WWPN 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:45:d6 hndl 0 [ 1050.235692] qla2xxx [0000:01:00.0]-28d9:2: Async-gnlist WWPN 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:47:4c [ 1050.235693] qla2xxx [0000:01:00.0]-28d9:2: Async-gnlist WWPN 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:46:e5 [ 1050.235694] qla2xxx [0000:01:00.0]-28d9:2: Async-gnlist WWPN 22:0d:00:0a:33:48:14:36 [ 1050.235695] qla2xxx [0000:01:00.0]-28d9:2: Async-gnlist WWPN 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:47:3b [and many more] I uploaded the dmesg output from rmmod && modprobe: https://www.swabian.net/extern/opensuse/fcdmesg.txt some information about used firm/software: HBA (shown on boot): HPAE312A PCI Fibre Channel ROM BIOS Version 3.29 Subsystem Vendor ID 103C Copyright (C) QLogic Corporation 1993-20 Firmware Version 8.01.02 Switch: > version Kernel: 2.4.19 Fabric OS: v5.1.0b Made on: Fri May 26 23:48:35 2006 Flash: Sun Dec 3 12:44:30 2006 BootProm: 4.5.3 Switch > zoneinfo [...] Effective configuration: cfg: testzoning zone: fc_zone1 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:45:b4 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:45:d5 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:45:d6 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:45:dd 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:45:de 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:45:e1 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:46:e2 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:46:e5 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:47:3b 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:47:49 22:08:00:0a:33:0c:47:4c 22:08:00:0a:33:12:62:aa 22:08:00:0a:33:12:64:33 22:08:00:0a:33:12:64:3f 22:0c:00:0a:33:48:14:36 22:0c:00:0a:33:48:14:37 50:01:43:80:04:c5:9e:55 50:01:43:80:04:c5:9e:57 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:45:d5 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:45:d5 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:45:b4 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:45:b4 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:45:d6 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:45:d6 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:45:dd 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:45:dd 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:45:de 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:45:de 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:45:e1 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:45:e1 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:46:e2 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:46:e2 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:46:e5 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:46:e5 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:47:3b 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:47:3b 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:47:49 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:47:49 22:0a:00:0a:33:0c:47:4c 22:09:00:0a:33:0c:47:4c 22:0a:00:0a:33:12:62:aa 22:09:00:0a:33:12:62:aa 22:09:00:0a:33:12:64:33 22:0a:00:0a:33:12:64:33 22:09:00:0a:33:12:64:3f 22:0a:00:0a:33:12:64:3f 22:0d:00:0a:33:48:14:36 22:0e:00:0a:33:48:14:36 22:0d:00:0a:33:48:14:37 22:0e:00:0a:33:48:14:37 50:01:43:80:04:c5:9e:54 50:01:43:80:04:c5:9e:56 1,16 1,17 1,18 1,19 > switchShow switchName: fcsw1 switchType: 34.0 switchState: Online switchMode: Native switchRole: Principal switchDomain: 1 switchId: fffc01 switchWwn: 10:00:00:05:1e:03:d8:ae zoning: ON (testzoning) switchBeacon: OFF Area Port Media Speed State ============================== 16 0 id N2 Online L-Port 9 public, 7 private 17 1 id N2 Online L-Port 6 public, 10 private 18 2 id N4 Online F-Port 50:01:43:80:04:c5:9e:56 19 3 id N4 Online F-Port 50:01:43:80:04:c5:9e:54 20 4 id N4 No_Light 21 5 id N4 No_Light 22 6 id N4 No_Light 23 7 id N4 No_Light 24 8 id N4 No_Light 25 9 id N4 No_Light 26 10 id N4 No_Light 27 11 id 2G No_Light 28 12 id N4 No_Light 29 13 id N4 No_Light 30 14 id N4 No_Light 31 15 id N4 No_Light Thank you and regards, Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OS LEAP on a USB stick
by David T-G 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Hi, all -- I have a media server stuffed full of hard drives, and I have to date been using Knoppix with a Casper partition on a USB drive to run it. The idea was that 1) replacing the boot media should be easy (and I clone the stick to another every once in a while) and 2) upgrading should be easy (by just whipping up a fresh stick with the latest version and comparing my persistence partition files with the new fresh versions) while 3) maintenance should be simple. It's worked well enough so far, but ... I'm about to bring another server in-house, and I maybe want just a bit more than Knoppix, although I still won't have disk slots to spare. I need the simple stability of LEAP, which will of course get updates regularly anyway, and wonder about running on a thumb drive in the same way. This one will run MySQL/Maria, probably run a web server, and will handle email and need at least a basic forwarding MTA if not the real thing. I imagine that I'd want to run without swap (*gasp* yes, that discussion again ;-) and figure I'm stuck with content changes right in the live OS rather than in an overlay volume. Does that sound right, or is there a LEAP live image (no, I haven't gone looking yet) that can UNIONFS on top in the same way?

[opensuse] MIT-MAGIC COOKIE-1
by dieter.jurzitza＠t-online.de 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Dear listmembers, I recently upgraded from 42.3 via 15.0 to 15.1 - so far, so good. I am currently facing one single problem you (might ...) be able to help me with: When deleting .Xauthority and re-logging in, everything is running fine. When I log in for a second time I always get such messages when starting programs from within an xterm: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key and xauthresults in xauth> list <ABC>.<mydomain>.com/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 65db7bfc71996ce5f85e255a52d13e70 <ABC>/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 488c94f4a806b77dd0e34f1dcbc54545 xauth> when deleting Xauthority and logging in for the first time this problem does not show, I only see the first line containing "<ABC.domain.com>". Any hints/ ideas? Everything seems to work, however, I would love to get rid of this ... Thank you very much for looking into this, best Dieter Jurzitza -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ext4lazyinit - must I wait?
by Daniel Bauer 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

I just inserted a new hard disk (6TB) in my Desktop-Computer and made a new encrypted partition using Yast. Now ext4lazyint runs and runs and runs... I read it is a background process that has to do with inodes. My questions are: - can I already use that disk (exactly to rsync 3TB of data to it) or must/should I wait until ext4lazyinit has terminated? - can I shut down the computer while this is still running? Or shouldn't I? Thanks.
