[opensuse] Resize BTRFS
by Jim Flanagan 04 Mar '12

04 Mar '12

How do I resize BTRFS on opensuse 12.1. I have a default test install in vmware. I originally did not allocate a large enough partition and want to increase it. I allocated 2gb more space in vmware, and that space shows in Yast Formatter. I ran #btrfs filesystem resize max / but nothing changes. I tried this 3 ways. One with the 2gb space not allocated, two with it allocated by not formatted, and third formatted in BTRFS. All 3 times the size does not change. What am I missing? (I have everything installed in /, except swap and /boot). Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] emacs woes
by Marc Chamberlin 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

I saw a posting on this group recently saying that xemacs is about to be dropped, so decided I better start training my fingers to use emacs instead. Am running openSuSE 11.4 x86_64 and tried to fire off emacs and it barfed - emacs vsftpd.conf & [1] 22024 bigbang:/srv/ftp # GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: The connection is closed) g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting. [1]+ Terminated emacs vsftpd.conf Can anyone decipher this for me and tell me how to help emacs feel better? Thanks much, Marc... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Timescale for Maintenance Updates
by Ralf Müller 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hi there. When setting up a new server in november last year I found opensuse 12.1 has some problems running as a xen server. I found a bug report that matched my problem: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727081 I switched to kvm for virtualisation on that system - no real problem so far. The bug was fixed at december 2nd including a private update repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/olh:/bug727081/openSUSE_12.1 For the server I set up in november everything would have been ok at this point. But as I have some production servers to support, that must be updated to 12.1 too, I have to wait for an 'official' update package - distributed via the official update repository. No problem - the bug has a fix, it needs some testing and then it can go main line. That I thought. 10 _weeks_ later the bug has been moved from a private repository to a maintenance repository: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=openSUSE%3AMaintenance%3A280 Does anybody know how long it usually takes for a patch from having a maintenance repository to actual distribution? Additional question: wouldn't it be a good idea to add some extra states to bugzilla for "bug is in internal testing", "bug got maintenance repository" (whatever that actually means), "bug is distributed". For an external user, who is not involved in the development process of opensuse it is kind of confusing up to frustrating to see a bug "closed fixed" and to not get an official update for it. For users who don't found the bug in bugzilla the bug is still open. As this bug is a showstopper, Xen simply does not work in 12.1 for them.

[opensuse] Weirdness after KDE update (OS12.1 + +KDE 4.8)
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

I did an update to my 12.1 system a few days ago (Saturday, Feb 25 to be precise), and the results is that KDE is no longer happy. The system runs openSUSE 12.1 and uses the KDE 4.8 repos (not factory, the 4.8 repos). I have been using these for a while and been doing regular updates, and all has been working great. I have not changed my repos in a while. The problem originally manifested itself as: When logging in and starting a KDE session, I would get a small white Xterm that said ksmdeamon exited. So, kde cannot start. I would then be returned to the login screen. Rebooting and all did nothing. Since I could log in via, say ICE, I did so. I then started ksmdaemon in a terminal, and it started. I then ran kwin, and magically I was transported from ICE to KDE. Perhaps not a fully functional one, as I has started only a few things by hand. But progress. I then tried logging in to KDE again. It worked. Why this is the case is a mystery, Perhaps just getting something to run once after the update was enough to allow things to sort of run again. But, it is very incomplete in terms of functionality. For example: - NetworkManager is brain dead. All my existing connection definitions are, apparently, lost. More problematic is that the tabs for, say, wired connections, is disabled. I do have such devices. 'ip addr' for example, correctly lists eth0. I can configure it via ifup, but to NetworkManager it is dead. Even though the wireless tab is accessible, I cannot add anything in it. All those buttons are disabled. Wireless does work via ifup. - Desktop effects do not happen. I don't really care. But if they are not working as expected, something has gone wrong. They are enabled. I use the proprietary nvidia driver, and it is still loading. I am sure there are other things. But the network issue is a game stopper. I tried starting with a fresh $HOME/.kde4 directory, but that only lost all the expected customizations I have. It did not result in the aforementioned problems being cleared up. I am not sure where to start. Perhaps there is a repo that KDE 4.8 now needs that I have not enabled? I have checked that all packages in the KDE 4.8 repo are installed and nothing has been missed. That does not seem to be the case. But maybe I am missing something that is not in the KDE 4.8 repos. Since I seem to be the only one with this problem, I am guessing it is not a general problem. Still, I cannot see what should be so different in my use case. I have used the 4.8 repos since they were made available, and have pretty much regularly been updating against them. So it should all be incremental changes from the same source. Any suggestions?
