[opensuse] Broadcom bcm4311 not working
by Benjamin 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hallo! I did the follwing installation instruction for my bcm4311 card: 1 sudo zypper install b43-fwcutter 2 sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware After this the crash occured and after the restart the modules are loaded and not blacklisted … Still networkmanager does not show up with the wireless connection and also unblocking the devices via "rfkill unblock wifi/all" does not help. What is strange is, that "lspci" says that there is a the bcm4311 card and when i look it up in the hardwareinformation via yast it is specified as being a bcm 4312. Furthermore Yast does not show the card as a wireless device. Neither does "nmcli d" show up the device. Is it possible, that there is some kind of conflict between standard drivers and settings and the one i need? Help would be appreciated!!! Thanks anyway – Good N8t. My system: Hp Compaq 6715s Opensuse 13.1/ Kernel 3.11

[opensuse] Where is the perl documentation on OpenSuse 12.3
by Ted Byers 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

The subject says it all. I have searched my suse box top to bottom, as it where, and I can not find the perl documentation. Mind you, that may be a consequence of still trying to master OpenSuse. I am using cpan to get modules, but I regularly consult the documentation for the modules, especially those modules that are large and complex. The was easy on my old Windows machine, as ActiveState's installer put an icon pointing to the index for the HTML version of the documentation. And on my Ubuntu machine, there is an icon attached to the bar on the left pointing to the pod browser (though it seems not all the modules have documentation in pod format - either that or they are not found by the pod browser). But, on my opensuse box (running suse 12.3) I can't find any perl documentation. Can anyone tell me where it is?

[opensuse] firefox questions
by Istvan Gabor 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hello: I have firefox 17.0.10 ESR in openSUSE 12.2 installed from mozilla repo. I have two questions: 1. How can I disable checking of updates? The previous option to set it (in Preferences/Advanced/Update) is gone. 2. My firefox is started with restoring previous session (show my windows and tabs from last time). But the tabs are loaded only when I click them. I want all tabs to load when I start firefox, so when I click on a tab the content should already be loaded, not to start loading at the click. How can I set this? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Failing cryptsetup and other problems in 13.1 recovery
by Bjoern Voigt 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hello all, I installed openSUSE 13.1 on a GPT/UEFI system with Windows 8.1 and an encrypted openSUSE 13.1 LVM (/boot: /dev/sda9, LVM: /dev/sda10) and an encrypted /home/myusername filesystem (/dev/sda11, opened via pam_mount). After a while, I found in 'dmesg' logs, that a ext4 filesystem is corrupted. I wanted to clear this situation with the recovery stick and found some problems. I did the following: * booted with openSUSE 13.1 64Bit (openSUSE-13.1-DVD-x86_64.iso written on an USB stick) (I wonder, why the Grub screen from USB stick does not show the function key menus and so I have to use English keyboard layout) * I checked the /boot filesystem (/dev/sda9, ext4 => no errors) * Now I tried to open the encrypted LVM /dev/sda10 with cryptsetup I got this error: Rescue:~ # cryptsetup luksOpen -v /dev/sda10 rootlvm Enter passphrase for /dev/sda10: /dev/mapper/temporary-cryptsetup-1697: mknod for temporary-cryptsetup-1697 failed: Read-only file system Failed to open temporary keystore device. Command failed with code 5: Failed to open temporary keystore device. The root filesystem in recovery itself is not Read-only, but /dev/mapper is read-only. I found a simple way to create an writable /dev/mapper directory: Rescue:~ # mv /dev/mapper /dev/mapper.orig && mkdir /dev/mapper The downside of this simple way is, that "cryptsetup luksClose" does not work. The root filesystem had no errors. But instead the /home/myusername filesystem (/dev/sda11) was corrupted: Rescue:~ # cryptsetup luksOpen -v /dev/sda11 home Rescue:~ # fsck -f -C -t ext4 -D /dev/mapper/home (a lot of errors) This is my /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml:. I changed the original YaST entry <volume fstype="crypt" user="myusername" path="/home/myusername.img" fskeypath="/home/myusername.key" fskeycipher="aes-256-cbc" fskeyhash="md5" cipher="aes-cbc-essiv:sha256" options="loop" mountpoint="/home/myusername"/> to <volume fstype="crypt" user="myusername" path="/dev/disk/by-uuid/<some-uuid>" options="loop" mountpoint="/home/myusername"/> My questions: * Is the missing function key menu bug on some systems/displays when booting with the installation DVD/USB media known? I had this on different systems. Any work-arounds? * Why is /dev/mapper read-only in recovery and thus "cryptsetup luksOpen" does not work? * My setup with an encrypted /home/myusername and a custom pam_mount configuration is probably not officially supported, so problems here may not be seen as a bug. Does anyone has a tip for me how to do this setup correctly?

I encountered the same issue, I just ignored upgrading the nvidia driver in 12.3 (I did update almost everything else). When setting up the repos for the upgrade I left the nvidia repo enabled. The sed instruction sed -i 's/12\.3/13\.1/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/* in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade then changed this to the 13.1 version of the repo. The proprietary driver then upgraded as part of the distribution upgrade. The upgrade completed normally and a reboot worked as expected. Everything seems normal. In fact it's hard to see much difference - it might be booting a bit slower. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, Hope you must have been aware of kde-services at http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/?content=147065 If I try to install it with zypper, some dependency problem is displayed. Would some developer be kind enough to make this package for opensuse? It seems to be an useful program and lots of users may be benefited. Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] weird permission prob w/oocalc

openSUSE Tumbleweed libreoffice-calc-4.1.3.2-4.2.x86_64 Weird thing happened on the way to the office today! For quite a few years I have been editing a remote spreadsheed with oocalc over nfs. This afternoon I began getting notice that the file was locked by "unknown user" and I could open a copy or ... But I am unable to save the file back to it's correct location (over nfs). I can open the same file with gnumeric, edit and save it. What has happened to libreoffice-calc? Reinstalling the entire libreoffice package made no difference. Present version was first installed about a month ago and, until today, has functioned properly afaict. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
