[opensuse] logs filling up with collectd trying to update time ???
by Linda Walsh 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

After updating a bunch of packages to 13.1, I noted (somewhat later), that some of my logs were filling up with messages like: Nov 25 13:35:09 Ishtar collectd[2642]: rrdtool plugin: rrd_update_r (WebYaST/df-root/df_complex-reserved.rrd) failed: WebYaST/df-root/df_complex-reserved.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time 1385415309 when last update time is 1385415309 (minimum one second step) ---- My immediate solution -- turn off collectd... But that sorta misses the point. Any one seen messages like this and how do I access the data that's been collected? I don't see what port I might connect to for WebYast related stuff? Seems like it is storing the info as a webyast report? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] I'm stumped! : 13.1 + WLAN + laptop
by Basil Chupin 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Last night I installed 13.1 on my (new) laptop and I was able to use the WLAN for several hours downloading the upgrades to 13.1, as well as browsing the 'net. However, this morning I have no WLAN connection :-( . I am stumped as to why WLAN disappeared, and I don't know what to check and where (although I did check Network in YaST - but don't know what should appear there anyway). Can anyone please provide a suggestion or two as to where I should look to get WLAN working again? The WLAN is an Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300.

But I can do it by sending from external device to an Ubuntu virtual machine running in same openSUSE 12.3, that is the oddity: it seems something is wrong in openSUSE.

[opensuse] small enhancement to yast/repo management
by jdd 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello, having just installer a lot of new openSUSE, I notice that it's nearly mandatory to install packman. It's not that easy for a bare (openSUSE) beginner. now one have to go to repo management, community repos and get a lot of options... most user never go through this more than once, given the 1 click install and yast. so I beg it could be more efficient to give some less steps, a bit like selecting the windows managers: when one go to repo management, he should be in front of a windows with (title) Most used Community repos: x add packman x add libdvdcss (title)build service repos * build... * build... (link) Other way to select repos what do you think? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE crashes
by A. den Oudsten 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

I installed 13.1 with an iso DVD on my Acer e-machine. The next time I started up and at the moment when the KDE icon appeared and was still unsharp all blocked, leaving diagonal line at the screen. This also occurred when I started the second time with a KDE-live disk. Suggestion how to solve this will be very appreciated!

by Claudio ML 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello all, I have upgraded my 12.3 test machine to 13.1, with the zypper dup method. The upgrade completed successiful, but, after the first reboot, i have the eth0 network device renamed to ens3. Strangely, also i have noticied the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is empty. [ 23.088553] 8139cp 0000:00:03.0 eth0: RTL-8139C+ at 0xffffc90000110000, 96:5a:31:24:4a:51, IRQ 10 [ 23.088607] 8139cp 0000:00:03.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 23.419553] 8139too: 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28 [ 23.578290] systemd-udevd[283]: renamed network interface eth0 to ens3 I can add a line to force that device to become eth0 with udev rules, but i don't know if is the better thing to do, or maybe can be something more is not working correctly?

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
