[opensuse] KVM Client reboot / shutdown 13.1
by Günther J. Niederwimmer 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello, I installed KVM on my system and two Clients but on a reboot or shutdown my clients are only killed no suspend no reboot ..., Have any a idea what is wrong / missing on my system. Or is this a broken libvirt/qemu? -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards, Günther J.

Linux questions are on-topic, which means they don't belong on the off-topic list. Carlos doesn't read the offtopic list.

That's why I would wait for some time so that a more neat and clean 13.1 can be downloaded, just some problems/issues (if any) get eradicated in a months' time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Realtime Permission for Jack/Ardour3
by Benjamin 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

Hallo everybody! I have spent some time on googeling arounf and trying around to get Ardour3 running, but with no luck. The Error Ardour gives out is the following: [ERROR]: JACK: Cannot create thread res = 1 [ERROR]: JACK: Cannot use real-time scheduling (RR/5)(1: Die Operation ist nicht erlaubt) [ERROR]: JACK: JackClient::AcquireSelfRealTime error Actually this should be a common failure while starting jack, when the user does not have realtime permission, so I changed /etc/security/limits.conf and added the follwing: #@realtime - rtprio 99 #@realtime - memlock unlimited THen i created a group called realtime,to which i added me as a user. After that a rebooted. But still ARdour gives out exactly the same failure, so my question: How can i set realtime permission, so that i can use Audio-Software (Ardour3) and jack? My system: Opensuse 13.1. x86_64 Kernel: 3.11 i also started a discussion in, but so far no useful replies! https://community.ardour.org/node/7237?destination=node%2F7237 Thanks, Benjamin.

[opensuse] Trapping Ctl-Alt-Shift
by James Knott 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

Is there any way to trap and discard Ctl-Alt-Shift? I use Ctl-Shift to switch keyboard layouts and my KVM uses Ctl-Alt-Shift to change inputs. However, that also triggers a layout switch. Is it possible to map C-A-S to do nothing, rather than switch layouts? Running 12.3 & KDE4. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ssh yast module
by Alex Angerhofer 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

Dear List, The other day I upgraded to 13.1 without much trouble. I am still missing the nvidia repository but that will probably come online sometime in the future. My question here is about the yast module for sshd. It has gone missing in opensuse 13.1. Is there any particular reason for that? I always found it convenient to set it up in yast. To get sshd started at boot I had to set it up in system services manager which appears to be a new module, or I haven't paid attention. Best regards, Alex. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] a note on systemd systemctl syntax
by Istvan Gabor 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

Hello: It seems systemd is unstoppable. It gets into every linux distro sooner or later. Apart from that we have to learn it, find its syntax awkward, very awkward. What I mean: The syntax, if I know correctly is: systemctl action(enable/disbale/start/stop etc.) service-name.service I am using bash shell as, I guess, many of you too. In bash you can press upward cursor to get to the previous command you entered. You can edit that command by going back with the cursor. By pressing enter you apply the new (edited) command. Now, with the current systemd syntax this is very tedious. If I want to apply different operations I have to go back to the middle of the line to edit action. Same with service-name service. If I want to edit service name I have to go back a lot to change it. The logical sysntax, at least in my opinion, would be: systemctl service.service-name action Then it would be simpler to edit previous command lines. Practically this worked like this with initv boot scripts: /etc/init.d/service-name start/stop etc. Wasn't it easier an more logical and easier to use? What do you think? Istvan ps: Please do not ask what is my point. The answer: this syntax is a good current example of "ain't fix what's not broken". I am talking only about the command syntax, not systemd. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1 fails to boot with kernel 3.11.6-4
by Stephen Berman 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Today I updated from 12.3 to 13.1 using the DVD from box but I cannot boot using the default 13.1 kernel. Here are the details: 12.3 was installed on /dev/sdb6. I cloned it to /dev/sdb7 as a backup and ran the update on /dev/sdb6. The update appeared to complete successfully, but on booting it immediately went to emergency mode. The log showed several failures: Failed to insert module 'autofs4' Failed to open /dev/autofs: No such file or directory Failed to initialize automounter FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/modules.dep: No such file or directory as well as several mount failures with these messages: Dependency failed for Local File Systems mount process exited, code=exited status=21 The log also showed that the system root was mounted to /dev/sdb7 instead of /dev/sdb6. I don't understand why this happened, but it explains why /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/modules.dep could not be found, since that exists only on /dev/sdb6. But from the Grub2 menu I can select the cloned 12.3 on /dev/sdb7, and it boots fine (with kernel 3.7.10-1.16). And if I select, from the Advanced options section of the Grub2 entry for 13.1, kernel 3.7.10-1.16, which the update left installed on /dev/sdb6 (as well as adding the newer kernel), then I can boot 13.1 -- but, again, only with the 12.3 kernel. So why is /dev/sdb7 mounted as root when I try to boot the default 13.1 kernel, and what do I need to fix that and use the newer kernel? Thanks for any help.
