[opensuse-support] Network watchdog
by Peter Suetterlin 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hi List, Last november, my remote home server went offline. When I finally could access it physically, the machine was all fine, just the connection to the outside world had been dead. A simple 'systemctl restart network' did bring it back (it's a wicked-managed dhcp connection). Now I wonder if there is some daemon existing that regularly checks if the outside connection is properly working and, if not, restarts the network. I'd have expected systemctl to do something like that. Or is it so simple that I should just write a cron script that does this? The system is 42.3 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] Simple enabling of bluetooth activation on start
by Mykola Krachkovsky 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Hi, I'm using bluetooth mouse for a quite time and only now solved the problem (mostly because never searched for solution seriously): bluetooth isn't activated in SDDM (and I think other DM too) at start and became active only after first login. SDDM just does nothing to bluetooth (which is totally ok to me) and at start bluetooth is off. If I'll login in tty and call `bluetoothctl power on` mouse activates as expected. bluetoothd man isn't very helpful, as it only states there is `/etc/bluetooth/ main.conf` but has no any hint what I could write there. Not the first time I've found solution in ArchWiki [1]. So solution is rather simple — create directory `/etc/bluetooth` and create file main.conf there with ``` [Policy] AutoEnable=true ``` And this works fine. Maybe would be helpful for someone too. What I'm interested about — is there any way to add this step to YaST (and if possible to installer)? Where is the best place for such suggestions?

[opensuse-support] report bug to "packager" identified only by home:whatsmyname?
by Felix Miata 01 Jan '19

I want to use a package found only on software search in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/deltafox/openSUSE_Tumblewee… but rpm -qi shows vendor only as Distribution: home:deltafox / openSUSE_Tumbleweed How do I find out how to contact "deltafox", whose connect page https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/deltafox provides no data and doesn't used either of his names in a B.O.O. email address? I tried to find an osc way to do this, but no luck. No deltafox in any IRC nicklists I checked either.

[opensuse-support] 15.0 Console login impossible

[opensuse-support] "bad" locale -> bad/no box characters
by Felix Miata 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

These are from 42.3 installations. On both, /etc/sysconfig/language is identical, and 'DroidSansMono.ttf: "Droid Sans Mono" "Regular"' results from 'fc-match monospace'. These show good vs. bad box drawing characters in Konsole3: Good: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/lc423goodP5BSE.jpg Bad http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/lc423bad00srv.jpg Locale on the good host, all POSIX except CTYPE and ALL, same in Konsole3 as in XTerm: # locale LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= On the bad host, all en_US.UTF-8 except LANG, and XTerm is OK, but Konsole is not: LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 The difference between good and bad has root in .bashrc: export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 The question is, why does Xterm get box characters right, but Konsole not.
