[opensuse] A novice's perspective: .deb and .rpm
by PM 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hello, What's basically the difference between the two file systems - .deb and .rpm. Both are linux and I guess use the same mechanism of working. Or these work also in different ways? I am new but interested to know this. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.3 sssd and ldap
by Peter W. Merritt 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

I have not been able to get sssd to connect to my clearos openldap server. Packet dumps on the server do not show any traffic on port from the opensuse client. I had this working using the yast2 ldap client app previous versions of opensuse. My attempts at manual config have not yielded any progress, normally I can get it working manually. Anyone else get sssd working with openldap? Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Can post my configs if needed. Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] KDE WM appears to have died
by Richard 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Caveat: I am not a programmer and will likely not understand programmer- speak. Recently, running 11.4, happily for quite some time I might add, the login failed and I could not re-start it. Switched to another terminal but found nothing useful to me. Using startx in another terminal the return message said to remove the /tmp/.X0-lock file and try again, which I did, to no happiness. Not wanting to venture too far into areas I do not know or understand, I decided to upgrade to 12.3 with the thought that that might fix things along the way. Has not. I now see messages suggesting issues with plastic(?) and fatal errors. I have, however, been able to log in and work using the IceWM. I also tried adding many files for Gnome to see if that would become an available WM. Only got an error message for that. Would like to get back to KDE, but would not be against a Gnome experience. Is there something simple I am missing (almost certainly so)? I will try to write down more of error messages as I assume someome will want that. Thanks for your attention and any assistance.

[opensuse] legacy device support on modern motherboard and linux
by Istvan Gabor 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hello: Most modern motherboards do not have serial, parallel, IDE, floppy, and even PCI ports. I guess there exist PCI-E expansion cards for serial, parallel, and IDE connection. The question is whether they are usable in linux. Will e.g. a serial card work in linux with my serial modem or other old device with serial port? The same question applies to parallel and IDE connections. Previously on this forum someone wrote that floppy PCI/PCI-E cards are not working in linux. Do USB floppy work?

[opensuse] My firefox tries to browse files using an mp3 editor.
by Carlos E. R. 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, When I open the list of downloads in Firefox, and I right click on a file, and select "open containing folder", what it opens is "easytag", (an application to manage mp3 tags) instead of any file browser. This happened since I used easytag the other day, previously it worked correctly. I do not see where to change this back. Using: cer@Telcontar:~> rpm -qa | grep -i mozilla mozilla-nspr-32bit-4.10-1.14.1.x86_64 MozillaFirefox-23.0-1.29.1.x86_64 mozilla-nspr-4.10-1.14.1.x86_64 mozilla-kde4-integration-0.6.4-2.1.1.x86_64 MozillaFirefox-branding-openSUSE-21-2.5.1.x86_64 mozilla-nss-devel-3.15.1-1.12.1.x86_64 ca-certificates-mozilla-1.85-3.1.1.noarch MozillaThunderbird-17.0.8-61.21.2.x86_64 mozilla-nspr-devel-4.10-1.14.1.x86_64 mozilla-nss-32bit-3.15.1-1.12.1.x86_64 mozilla-nss-3.15.1-1.12.1.x86_64 mozilla-nss-certs-32bit-3.15.1-1.12.1.x86_64 mozilla-nss-certs-3.15.1-1.12.1.x86_64 cer@Telcontar:~> oS 12.3, XFCE desktop. grepping the contents of all the files in .mozilla/firefox/XXX.default/, I find not a single configuration that points to "easytag", except links pointing to the page <http://projects.gnome.org/easytag/> How can I change this stupid behaviour? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] QGIS and SIP
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

On OpenSUSE 12.3, when I start QGIS 1.8 or 2.0 (both from OBS), I get this message: Couldn't load PyQGIS. Python support will be disabled. Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/share/qgis/python/qgis/__init__.py", line 63, in from qgis import core RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v10.0 to v10.1 but the qgis.core module requires API v9.2 In fact, I have been seeing this message for a very long time. When I look at the QGIS docs for SIP, all it says is that it uses SIP API V2 (http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/17/Python_plugin_API_changes_from_18_to_20#Testing…) The installed python-sip is python-sip-4.15.2-116.1.i586. Hmmm. Three sets of version numberings... Is anyone using Python scripting in QGIS from OBS? -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer(a)ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] mounting wrong partition after upgrade
by Mike 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

I just finished a painful upgrade to 12.3 (zypper dup dropped me to emergency console) things now seem to be restored, but the system is mounting /dev/sda7 as /usr rather than what is in fstab I created a copy in this partition when the ext3 partitions were not being found, so it's still working, but it's not as big as I'd like. Could my switching fstab to device rather than ID be the cause? Seems like a bunch of new stuff (cgroup fuse, hugetlbfs) is being mounted now. fstab: /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Hitachi_HDP7250_GEB530RE1T52EB-part6 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/sdb7 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/sdb2 /usr ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/sdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1000,devmode=664 0 0 mtab: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs rw,relatime,size=2010748k,nr_inodes=502687,mode=755 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0 tmpfs /run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0 /dev/sdb6 / ext3 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda7 /usr ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0 securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 tmpfs /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=755 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,release_agent=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups-agent,name=systemd 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuset 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuacct,cpu 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/memory cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,memory 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/devices cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,devices 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,freezer 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,net_cls 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,blkio 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,perf_event 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,hugetlb 0 0 systemd-1 /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc autofs rw,relatime,fd=25,pgrp=1,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct 0 0 mqueue /dev/mqueue mqueue rw,relatime 0 0 hugetlbfs /dev/hugepages hugetlbfs rw,relatime 0 0 tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw,relatime 0 0 tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755 0 0 /dev/sdb7 /home ext3 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0 fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw,relatime 0 0 vmware-vmblock /var/run/vmblock-fuse fuse.vmware-vmblock rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0 vmware-vmblock /run/vmblock-fuse fuse.vmware-vmblock rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0 none /var/lib/ntp/proc proc ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime 0 0 gvfsd-fuse /run/user/1000/gvfs fuse.gvfsd-fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=100 0 0 gvfsd-fuse /var/run/user/1000/gvfs fuse.gvfsd-fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=100 0 0 dmesg: [ 577.832123] EXT4-fs (sdb6): mounting ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem [ 577.875121] EXT4-fs (sdb6): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
