Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

[opensuse] DenyHosts daemon mode on openSUSE 11.3
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi, I am trying to run DenyHosts on OS 11.3. I can get it to sync and update the hosts.deny file, but with "rcdenyhosts status" it reports as being "unused" just after I started it with "rcdenyhosts start". I tried also with yast, setting up as a service (daemon) and starting it. It also stops immediately. In the denyhosts.log file there is no error info, just what it used to set it up at start. I've gone through the configs several times, no joy. Anyone got DenyHosts running properly? :-/ Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Android print solution?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Guys, With the iphone we were able to configure good print function via CUPS/Avahi, is there anything similar that can be done with an Android tablet? Looking, it doesn't appear that there is any basic print capability provided by Android (3.2 Honeycomb). I would like to print to by openSuSE server in the same manner I do from iOS. Anybody found a good solution? I have found PrintBot, but that isn't a solution because it cannot be used legally where confidentiality is required. (data is transferred to a 3rd party server before printing). I need to find a direct print solution. What says the braintrust? -- David C.

[opensuse] What is it with this behaviour in 12.3?
by Basil Chupin 31 May '13

31 May '13

In another thread I mentioned that when I switch on my external 2TB USB WD HDD, Dolphin accesses it and displays its contents to me; but then when I go to use mc (Midnight Commander) this device is no longer mounted in /media as it has been in past many years but now is found in /var/run/media/<username>/<devicename> [in this case the volume name is WD]. Quite by accident a few minutes ago ('cause I am having another hassle, to be describe later) I discovered that the device is ALSO mounted in 'run/media/<username>/<device>'. (How many times is such a device 'mounted' and where else may I find it?) Has anyone else found this to be the case?

[opensuse] Using # with F2

For many years, I have pressed F2 to run stuff such as man, by entering #<command> in the pop up box. For some reason, this has now broken. When I do that, Seamonkey opens, which does not know how to handle those commands, instead of Konqueror. Firefox is set as the default browser. Any idea on how I can get this to work properly again?

[opensuse] Problem with inodes on SuSE 12.1 and /var ?
by Markus Egg 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hello, I had SuSE 10.3 installed on my laptop. Backup of /var/spool/news onto some NAS was ok. Then formatted swap (swap filesys), / (ext4 filesys) /var (ext4 filesys) in the same size it was before. No other special settings, just the ones that are given and used by yast2 and SuSE 12.1 and ext4 . Installed SuSE 12.1 which was ok. When I tried to play back /var/spool/news with all the leafnode usenet news, after some time the system said something like "No space left on device" :-( The partition has exactly the same size. With SuSE 10.3 there was no problem concerning size. Were there any changes in the filesystem structure of SuSE 12.1 and ext4, e.g. inodes or similar, which makes /var under SuSE 12.1 run full earlier? How can I solve that? Reinstall with ext3 and SuSE 12.1 ? Put /var under / and reformat /var (which might be tricky)?

[opensuse] 12.3 + ntfs + ext4 + USB3 + different copying speeds
by Basil Chupin 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

I bought a Seagate 2TB USB3 external HDD today and formatted 75% of it with ext4 file system and 25% with ntfs - using latest version of Gparted. My two internal 1TB Seagates are SATA 3 and formatted with ext4 except for one partition (ntfs) which has XP installed, but which is rarely used (it's mainly there to bring me back to earth and to remind me how bloody aweful Windows is). I use mc (Midnight Commander) 99.99% of the time to manage my files. After I formatted the external HDD (as described above) I went to copy files from my main system to the new external HDD - which is to be used for backups. What I found - and which is what I am now asking about - is that when, using mc, that when copying files to the *ext4* formatted partition the files where being copied across at ~80MB/s. The files copied over were a mixture of ntfs and ext4 files (which I had copied from a collapsing 32-bit system to my current *Linux* system last year when I replaced the old computer). However, when I went to copy files to the *ntfs* formatted part of the new external HDD, the best transfer rate I got was ~28MB/s - which looks very much like what I used to get when using USB2! So, why the *big* difference in transfer rates between copying files to a partition formatted in *ext4* and one formatted in *ntfs*?! What system am a I using? Look at my signature line; but I understand that some brain-dead mail clients drop the signature line so for these people with brain-dead mailers the sig. line is: Using openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 with KDE 4.10.1 & kernel 3.8.4-1 Any suggestions, please, as to why there is such a difference in the transfer rates between the 2 file systems, and how can this be overcome?

[opensuse] We have finally reached Windows standards :-)
by Basil Chupin 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

I guess it had to happen some day, and it seems that that day has arrived :-) . We have reached Windows standards were one thinks that it is not unusual to get a system response which states, "Press any key to continue or press any other key to quit" :-D . Overnight (my time) the stable, standard, kernel was ugraded from 3.8.4-1 to 3.8.5-1 and so in my usual way I went into a terminal and ran "zypper dup --from XX" [where XX is the kernel's repo number]. And I got the message that there are 3 problems: kernel-desktop 3.8.3-1 is not compatible..... kernel-desktop 3.8.3-1 is not compatible.... kernel-devel 3.8.3-1 is not compatible..... But wait, I have kernel 3.8.4-1 installed so why am I being told that an earlier version of the kernel is incompatible?! I check in KinfoCenter and it shows that I have 3.8.4-1 installed..... Strange.... BUT the best part of all of this is: The message which zypper gives me after telling me that kernel 3.8.3-1 is incompatible consists of 4 options which I am allowed to select in order to "solve" the problem of the incompatibility of 3.8.3-1. I can either: 1 press 1 to retain kernel 3.8.3-1 s skip [this first problem] r retry [this first problem to see if it has now gone away] c to cancel [quit] [my attempt to install the newer kernel] I don't believe what I see and decide that pressing "s" will get me to an entry which will allow me to install the latest kernel (3.8.5-1). I press "s". "No way, Jose!". I am back where I started..... "kernel - desktop 3.8.3-1 is not compatible....." :-) ---- and so on, etc etc. "Nah", I says to meself, "this has never happened before so I will go back to my installation of 12.2 and prove that THAT works fine!" "No way, Jose". 12.2 is doing exactly the same thing! But with one variation: in 12.2, KinfoCenter is showing that I have kernel 3.8.4-1 installed but the message I get from zypper is that kernel (!)3.8.2-1 is not compatible. We are living in interesting times..... :-) . Fortunately, YaST2 still works as intended [I *think* and hope] and I have kernel 3.8.5-1 installed in 12.3 and 12.2 as well :-) .

[opensuse] ipv6 in 12.3

resending, html denied me the first time. so my previous install of 12.1 started giving me difficulties and I decided to try an upgrade; I got all sorts of errors, decided to just reinstall with the iso. now I'm left with a (virtual) machine that I can't seem to update or even use half the things I expect. after install the 12/3 OS seems to insist on ipv6, or possibly more accurately refuse to just use ipv4. I start yast and check network settings, I have ipv6 turned off, the proc settings look like it should be off codex:/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf # cat */disable_ipv6 1 1 1 1 1 and still when I run zypper, I get: codex:/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf?#Bm9zypper up Retrieving repository 'openSUSE-12.3-Non-Oss' metadata ----------------------[\] Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.3/repo/non-oss/repodata/repomd…': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Failed to connect to 2001:67c:2178:8::13: Network is unreachable Abort, retry, ignore?

I am updating (fresh install) to v12.3. It looks very good so far. However, I am very unhappy with the new texlive packaging. Several reasons. * Very complex and confusing. It is very, very difficult to find out what collections/schemes are needed to get a particular latex package. * Each package has a rpm overhead; it must be downloaded separately; it must be installed separately (whether in a collection or not). Most inefficient. * The previous packaging provided what I needed out of the box. Now, none of the collections do -- even the collection claimed to be closest to the original one. I have to go find and install some individual ones separately (elsarticle, revtex4; lineno is picked up if I include the 'latexextra' collection). * It is a very long process to remove texlive entirely. I tried with YaST2. Removing collections is not difficult, but there are many font and bin rpms left over with no supervising parent that I can see. Each one requires 2 clicks to delete. I keep an ascii list of rpms. With about 4000 entries, nearly half are texlive stuff, and it could be worse. There may be some good reasons to try the packaging change. Currently, however, it is not implemented well at all. I hope the next release either restores the previous packaging, or makes huge improvements.

[opensuse] Grub file missing from etc/default/
by Upscope 30 Mar '13

In the last several days I did updated to both my opensuse 12.2 and 12.3 installs. Both versions had a update to grub2. On my 12.3 system the following grub2 packages exit: [CODE] @linux-rpl7:~> rpm -qa |grep grub grub2-x86_64-efi-2.00-19.5.2.x86_64 grub2-branding-openSUSE-12.3-184.4.noarch grub2-efi-2.00-19.5.2.x86_64 grub-0.97-188.1.1.x86_64 grub2-i386-pc-2.00-19.5.2.x86_64 grub2-2.00-19.5.2.x86_64 [/CODE] The last update to 12.3 effecting grub was 3-15-2013 and to 12.2 today. Now when I go into /etc/default there is no grub file. I also noticed today my grub2 menu is now all black and white on 12.3, No nice color menu which was there yesterday.

Since upgrading to oS 12.3 + KDE 4.10, I've been unable to restart the mysql server. barrowhillfarm:~ # mysqld_safe 130329 17:15:09 mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysql/mysqld.log'. 130329 17:15:09 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 130329 17:15:09 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/lib/mysql/barrowhillfarm.henfield.pid ended Following which /var/run/mysql is empty.

[opensuse] Gnome 3.6 (in 12.3) - revert to notification panel in Gnome 3.4 (12.2)
by Andrey Borzenkov 30 Mar '13

30 Mar '13

Is there any way to get back notification panel as it was in 12.2? In 12.3 it shifts the whole screen up when opened. And it is SL-O-O-O-W. This effectively makes it unusable to me. In 12.2 it was small overlay on top of other windows. Fast and useful. And yes, I'm using nVidia proprietary drivers so I cannot make it to be any better than it is already. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Not posible to completely encrypt an OS3 system anymore?
by Daniel Bauer 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hello, I just installed OS3 on a Macbook and, of course, I wanted to encrypt it as I have done it with all my machines. But ooh: there's no boot.crypt anymore and my many times used approach does not work anymore. S*** So I went to Yast (after swapoff --all and making sure the swap dev was not mounted) and told it to format the swap partition with encryption. It asked me for the passphrase but then ended up in some errors (sorry, forgot the numbers, googling did nod give any results). So, ok, I thought, maybe I do it with a fresh install and directly encrypt the partitions. But ooo, again: when telling to encrypt / it says: it is not possible to have / encrypted (although I have a separate, not encrypted /boot). So, is it true, that is is not possible to have a somehow safe computer with Opensuse anymore?? For me encrypting only the home partition doesn't make any sense when there is a freely readable swap and /. Or did the installer just have a bad moment and made a joke on me? Any hints are more than welcome...

[opensuse] OS 12.3 encrypted home asks 4 times for password at boot
by Daniel Bauer 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hello, I am still trying to install at least a half secure OS 12.3 on my Macbook Pro. I did a fresh install with /dev/sda3 /boot (ext2) /dev/sda4 / (reiser) /dev/sda5 /home (reiser, encrypted with the installer) /dev/sda5 /swap (swap, encrypted with the installer) Now at boot I am asked 4 times for the password for /home and two times for the password for swap. I rebooted several times, it's always the same. What I really wanted was a completely encrypted system as it was possible until 12.1 (all partitions encrypted, except /boot). As it is not possible anymore to have encrypted / (*), I decided to at least encrypt /home and /swap, although it bothers me very much, that /root, /temp, /var and so on are not encrypted and thus make my laptop very vulnerable. But entering the passphrase 6 times at every boot makes the system unusable to me. How can I resolve that? I want to enter the passphrase only once. Thanks for hints. Daniel (*) - boot.crypto was removed without giving an alternative. The page http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Encrypted_filesystems enplanes how to "Manually creating new LUKS volumes", but above it says "In openSUSE 12.3 the boot.crypto scripts are no longer available as they were obsoleted by the systemd implementation." However there is no way to encrypt the / during install (it says "/ cannot be encrypted). - using a LVM is not possible in my case (on a Mac Powerbook) because I MUST prepare the partitions with the Max OSX Disk Utility, otherwise I cannot boot. But the installer doesn't let me use those partitions, just says that there is no space to create an LVM. I was googling intensively, but I have not found anything that could lead me to have a secure, encrypted OS 12.3 system. I have a lot of sensitive data and in case of theft I could be made responsible for damages. - unfortunately it is not possible to install 12.1 on the powerbook (it first recognizes the dvd, but then stops telling me that there is no bootable device. I checked the dvd on my other machine, it's fine...) -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com google+: https://plus.google.com/109534388657020287386 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Shared mailbox with dovecot and postfix
by Oscar Curero 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hi, I'nm trying to create a shared mailbox using Postfix and Dovecot. The part of the mailbox itself is pretty simple, just define the namespace in dovecot and that's all. Postfix is another history. What I'm trying to do is something I've seen a lot of times in corporate mail: emails are sent "on behalf of". The idea is that users send their emails from the shared mailbox address ("foo(a)mydomain.com") but with the "sender" joe(a)mydomain.com. At the end, clients see that the mail was sent by "joe(a)mydomain.com on behalf of foo(a)mydomain.com"). Now, users send emails from the shared mailbox but there's no way to [easily] know which of the users that have access to the mailbox did actually sent the email. So, does anyone know how can I achieve this? Thanks in advance! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Setting up network devices with YaST
by Marc Chamberlin 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

I have had this happen before, but unfortunately I don't remember how I solved it.... I am installing openSuSE 12.3 on a gateway server with 2 NICs. Somehow, somewhere openSuSE/YaST gets the device names I want to assign to each NIC (eth0 and eth1) backwards, and I need to reverse the assignments. I have tried the obvious approach of going in to YaST -> Network Devices -> NetworkSettings -> Overview, select the NIC card and edit it, go to the Hardware tab and change the device names. If I try to simply change, for example, eth0 to eth1, it confuses YaST when it sees two devices with the same name, in this case 2 eth1 devices. (even though I plan to change the other NIC's device name shortly.) So I tried a different approach, change eth0 to eth2, eth1 to eth0, and then eth2 to eth1. On the surface that seems to work, according to YaST, but the network remains unusable and from logs and other indications I believe that YaST is not doing a thorough job of changing device names where necessary. I can see log messages showing communication attempts that is going on over the network which is indicating that communication attempts is still being done via the wrong NIC/device. (Wireshark confirms this also.) A question I might ask, if I delete all the network devices in YaST, and start over with setting them up, YaST by default assigns the device names to each NIC but as I said opposite to what I want. Where/how does YaST get this initial assignment of device names for each NIC? Is there somewhere I could go, underneath, and reconfigure manually the device names? (I have done some hunting around via grep, searched all through /etc for example, and no joy finding a magic config file....) If not, then how do I switch the device names assigned to each NIC, if YaST cannot do it?

[opensuse] Trying OpenSuse 12.3, but Apache's httpd server only partly works
by Ted Byers 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

I have done the usual things to enable SSL on this virtual machine. The intent for this machine is to test ideas regarding the usage of apache's web server on Suse 12.3, and while "http://localhost/info.php" works, and in fact it tells me that mod_ssl is loaded. Perhaps I should modify that statement to read that I did the things I usually do on Windows and Ubuntu: an on those platforms, these things (ports open inthe firewall, virtual hosts created using the certificates I'd specified, ensuring that mod_ssl is loaded, &c.) were enough to get successful tests of SSL (the first of which was to use mod_rewrite to force all unencrypted requests to be made again using https - of course, this is domain/location specific). NB: These things also seemed to be sufficient on Opensuse 12.1 However, the server, when accessed using "https://localhost:443/info.php" gives me an error saying the host is unreachable. I ran /usr/bin/gensslcert to create a dummy certificate, and related files, again for testing purposes only (and using dolphin, I see the files it is supposed to create, and with the timestamp that is rational given the time I ran it. I made an ssl virtual host, and set the righ t file names for the certificates, as well as the proper document root. And I made sure that the firewall permits access both on port 80 for http and port 443 for https. Apache's error log actually tells me nothing (there are no errors in it, from the time I first installed and started httpd. Does anyone have any ideas as to why SSL may fail on this platform? Or does anyone have a checklist as to what to verify regarding apache's httpd server properly serving pages over https on opensuse 12.3?

[opensuse] Firefox bookmarks transferring question
by Thomas Taylor 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Is there an easy/simple method of transferring a single bookmarks folder from one PC to another? I have a large bookmark system on my main PC that has over 45 main folders with many sub-folders in most of them. If I want to copy only one or two sub-folders to another system I have not been able to find a way to do that in the drop-down menus. I don't want to backup the entire *.json file and import it as that would overwrite an existing bookmark list. For instance, I have the following bookmarks: Linux Fedora openSuSE BSD Personal hobbies ham_Radio … If I only want to copy the openSuSE sub-folder from machine "A" to machine "C", how is that done. I don't have enough knowledge of html formats to edit them nor of json files. Of course I could just copy the URL for each entry, open that page on the receiving machine, and then bookmark it but there may be up to 100 entries in a sub-folder and each sub-folder may have many sub-sub-folders and so on. Is there an easy export/import method of doing this? Thanks, Tom -- "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty."

The most recent i can find is the rc1 in mludvig's home dir. -----Original Message----- For those interested: openvpn-2.3 just arived in network:/vpn:/ obs/network:/vpn/SLE_11_SP2/i586/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.i586.rpm obs/network:/vpn/SLE_11_SP2/src/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.src.rpm obs/network:/vpn/SLE_11_SP2/x86_64/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.x86_64.rpm obs/network:/vpn/openSUSE_12.1/i586/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.i586.rpm obs/network:/vpn/openSUSE_12.1/src/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.src.rpm obs/network:/vpn/openSUSE_12.1/x86_64/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.x86_64.rpm obs/network:/vpn/openSUSE_Factory/i586/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.i586.rpm obs/network:/vpn/openSUSE_Factory/src/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.src.rpm obs/network:/vpn/openSUSE_Factory/x86_64/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.x86_64.rpm obs/network:/vpn/openSUSE_12.2/i586/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.i586.rpm obs/network:/vpn/openSUSE_12.2/src/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.src.rpm obs/network:/vpn/openSUSE_12.2/x86_64/openvpn-2.3.0-64.1.x86_64.rpm Thank you very much...

[opensuse] OS 12.3 on Mac Powerbook: No wireless
by Daniel Bauer 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hello I just installed OS 12.3 on my Mac Powerbook 8.1 and cannot find out how to make wireless working. There is simply no wireless device seen, neither in Yast nor in NetworkManager. The only thing I found was http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installation_on_a_Mac which is old and talks about a broadcom-sta driver. This is not available in Yast (packman repo enabled). The broadcom page http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php says the driver supports other devices than mine (mine is 4331). Whatever I find in google refers to Ubuntu and doesn't help me much... Can anybody hep me any further? Thanks!

I'm going to wait for the 12.3 final release and, if the behavior will be the same i'll open a bugreport I have already tried 12.3 rc2 with no luck In the meanwhile if someone of you have encountered a similar issue or have a similar partition layout please share your experiences, it would be very useful. What sounds very very strange to me is that nobody has already signaled this issue like me. I think every system with a sw raid configuration should have also the boot partition on top of a raid1 volume. I don't think to have an uncommon partition layout... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bluetooth not working after 12.3 install
by Adolph & Sharon Weidanz 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hey as the subject says, under 12.2 I was able to use the built-in bluetooth (Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0a5c:217d Broadcom Corp. HP Bluethunder). Once I deleted 12.2 and installed 12.3 (64bit) I have not been able to get it to work. Searching the net has been frustrating.

I mention it because I had recalled that I had used a hub with this scanner at one point, though as I mentioned, I honestly don't recall if that's where it was the last time I used it before plugging it back in. But a a troubleshooting step, I'd be inclined to take it anyways - hardware fails, sometimes in unpredictable ways, and the hub may have developed a problem. If you plug it in directly and it does the same thing, you've not lost a lot, but if you plug it in directly and it works, then you have a new data point. :) Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
