[opensuse] Grub2 and installing multiple distros on same computer
by Basil Chupin 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

A while back I had a bit of a gripe about grub2 (vs grub) because it wasn't clear how I would be able to install other distros on my computer apart from my main openSUSE. At that time I wished that I had used grub when I installed 12.2. Well, earlier today I took the plunge and decided to create the situation whereby I could install Tumbleweed and openSUSE RC2 later today - or, if I failed, to re-install 12.2 from scratch using grub. With my heart in my mouth I started the procedure - only to find that I still had a working 12.2 but now with the ability to install more distros. In fact the whole process was "a piece of cake" so to speak. If others are contemplating doing same I recommend reading which is where I got my "inspiration" from: http://www.linuxidentity.com/us/index.php?name=CmodsDownload&file=index&req… use Okular to view it, and save it. The article is titled, "Installing Multiple Distributions on the same computer". Read this article SEVERAL+ times before doing anything. I read the article before I installed 12.2 and chose to go the Case #3 way when installing 12.2. 12.2 was installed, but then I got stuck with working out what to do next - and only found the stomach to "take the plunge" today. However, just before the end of the process I broke out in a profuse sweat because on page #16 of the article it states, "Then run the command sudo grub-mkconfig -o ..........". When doing so I got the error message that I was way up there with the fairies as the command "grub-mkconfig" is something I dreamt up after being sprinkled with Tinker Bell's pixie dust. Well, the answer was that the command should read "grub2-mkconfig". Once I found this out everything worked to its finality as expected. One more thing: go into YaST2>Bootloader and make sure that it is sited as described in the article. If not, adjust and save the changes.

[opensuse] vrrpd
by Klaus Vink Slott 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hello I am struggling to make VRRPD work on a OpenSUSE 12.2. Have anybody managed to make it work? I have configured the settings in /etc/sysconfig/vrrpd so the command line resolves to: /usr/sbin/vrrpd -i eth1 -v 10 -p 100 -d 1 -n 130.225.200.10 Before I added -n my default gateway disappeared from the route table at vrrpd startup. With -n most thing seems to work. Provided that I delay vrrpd a few second after boot. Now if I kill the vrrpd demon on one machine, the other takes over as it should, and reverse takeover works as well. But if I unplug one server, resulting in a link down, - link up, then vrrpd looses its ability to take over. If I subsequently kill the other server vrrpd correctly states "we are now the master router." but the vrrpd ip does not respond to anything. Restarting vrrpd reestablishes functionality. A guru told me to set net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf, but that did not seem make any difference. Any ideas? -- Regards Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I had kernel 3.8.1 installed on oS 12.2 and also on oS 12.3 RC2. Everything worked fine. This morning I installed kernel 3.8.2-1 on oS 12.2 (sda3) and it everything went well, No hassles. I then installed kernel 3.8.2-1 on oS 12.3 RC2 (sda5) - and now I cannot boot.

I think this beats whatever Windows ever managed to come with - and that's saying something. The use of "Magic Mushrooms" seems most appropriate here for whoever used "Magic number" in an error message. OK, apart from knowing what this "Magic number" may be all about, any ideas of how I can boot into oS 12.3 RC2 (sda5) just to be able to, say, tun YaST2 to get back kernel 3.8.1-2? I've tried using the Recovery mode of RC2 but I don't know how to get this to boot into sda5.

[opensuse] Root and boot partitions on a sw raid volume (opensuse 12.2 - 12.3 rc1 64bit)
by jjletho67-esus＠yahoo.it 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi all, i'm relatively new to opensuse, but i have been using linux (red hat based distros) since ten years ago (linux is not my job however). I've done several test installations using opensuse 12.2 and 12.3 rc1 and i encountered some unexpected problems with my partition layout and i started to realize that, probably, booting from a raid volume is not a supported configuration. I've already shared my experience on the forum without finding a definitive answer https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/pre-release-bet… https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/pre-release-bet… This is the partition layout i would like to implement: /boot -> /dev/md0 (raid1) -> sda1, sdb1 swap -> /dev/md1 (raid1) -> sda2,sdb2 / -> logvol1 -> volgroup1 -> /dev/md2 -> sda3,sdb3 /home -> logvol2 ->volgroup1 -> /dev/md2 -> sda3,sdb3 /tmp -> logvol3 -> volgroup1 -> /dev/md2 -> sda3,sdb3 /var -> logvol4 -> volgroup1 -> /dev/md2 -> sda3,sdb3 /space1 -> sda4 /space2 -> sdb4 The bootloader I selected was grub2. The system i obtain using full dvd yast graphical installation is unbootable. Doing some investigation (details on the forum) i discovered that grub was installed only on the first disk and the /dev/md0 raid volume was not initialized. All the /boot files were in sdb1 and nothing was written in sda1 which is the boot device really addressed by grub2 instance installed in the sda mbr. I manually started /dev/md0 with sdb1 and then i hot added sda1. Sinchronization started and completed few seconds later ( /boot is only 500 MB large). After sync was completed a rebooted the system and grub2 was able to regularly boot the system. By this way the system can boot, but can't survive to an sda failure because gurb is missing from sdb. I did some more test and i manually installed grub2 on sdb, without touching the configuration files. The system apparently is now able to survive an sda failure a boots from sdb. So my questions are: 1) Is really this configuration unsupported by opensuse ? I'm very surprised about that because redhat based distros i used in the past support booting form raid since, at least, 2008 2) Is manually adjusting the system as i described above (manual sync and manual grub installation) a reasonably secure way to have a stable system ? I also tryed to manually create partitions, raid and lvm volume prior to start the yast installer (see my second forum thread) but i encountered an erratic and unpredictable behavior of yast which refuses to use some raid volume, seeing them as they were physical disks. Any similar experience ?

Anton Aylward wrote: > Certainly not ones that use B-Tree algorithms! ----- Sorry to bring this up so long after the fact, but I wanted to add some *counter* information to the idea of *decreasing* a reserve factor. Instead of decreasing it, there are times when you might want to increase it -- it depends on *your priorities*. If you need space and don't care so much about speed, shrinking is likely the best way to go, but if you want to keep your disks running in their maximum speed range, I've noticed with 1-1.5TB partitions on a 24gB (12x2tB) RAID that free space should be kept around 20-25% and that's on a B-Tree based file system (XFS). That's because my max rate in read/write is 1TB/s, so even the smallest delays will create a much more noticeable hit in performance than they would out of 1 disk -- i.e. the computer can do many computations while the I/O controller is doing a 64K read/write on 1 disk, but the time it has to do calculations on a 12 spindle raid is a decimal order of magnitude less. So the cpu needs to search through 12X the data in 1/10th the time to maintain max I/O rates. The block allocator starts having problems finding large contiguous free spaces on file systems over 75% full, if (like me) you've gone up into the low 90's% usage, and back down. Once you've done that, you've got files spread throughout the free area. (I could rebuild the fs from scratch and that would give some more speed, until I let it get too full again). If your HD was the speed of a floppy, using it up 99%, you wouldn't notice a speed hit because the I/O was so slow, but the faster your HD subsystem, the more you'll notice the lag time caused by the block allocator and the buffering system. Many people with RAIDs have noticed a 30% or greater speed boost by avoiding the buffer cache. As long as CPU and memory speeds were staying 100-1000 times faster than disk, alot can be done to optimize I/O in memory, but with cpu speeds going down (to conserve power) and disk speeds going up with moves to SSD's and RAID's, those same algorithms won't work as well at the limits... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10 days out - 12.3 recommendations
by John Andersen 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

I'm running 12.3rc2 is a virtual machine, but am planning to redo my main laptop in 12.3 when its final. (Its currently hanging back at 11.4 waiting for 12.3). So the same question that comes up every time I look at re-basing my machine: Nuke and fresh install or Upgrade in place? With that many releases between refreshes my gut reaction is to nuke it and start over, but I just wanted to bounce it off you guys in case the in-place upgrade process has improved over time. The machine is my primary traveler and absolute must host VmWare. Nothing spectacular about this Dell 9400 laptop, it has an aging Radeon and a big enough disk. Its been spectacularly reliable over the years. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello List - see from http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/software-technology/difference-… 1.GRUB is a boot loader which can be used for Linux, vSTA, DOS, and other operating systems while LILO is a generic boot loader for Linux. 2.Both GRUB and LILO can boot operating systems from external devices such as floppy disks and hard drives, but 3.GRUB allows booting from a network while LILO does not. 4.When the configuration file is altered, LILO needs to be reinstalled to the MBR while GRUB defaults to its command line interface. 5.GRUB is more complicated to use while LILO is simpler and easier to use. 6.LILO is the old default boot loader for Linux while GRUB is the new default boot loader. 7.GRUB can be used for various other operating systems unlike LILO which is used only for Linux operating systems. ............................. best regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] howto use an OLD pentium 3 with 192MB RAM as webradio receiver?

OpenSUSE won't even run the installer with 192mb RAM. :( Basically I'd like to connect it to my stereo and have it playing some streams via WLAN. If got an PCMCIA WLAN-card (atheros) as it hasn't got either LAN nor WLAN built in. Some console app that plays streams managed via ssh would be OK. Any GUI connected by VNC would even be better.

[opensuse] Seasoned Linux user but new to openSUSE
by stosss 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Hello, I am testing openSUSE 12.2 KDE in a VM in Virtualbox on my host distribution PCLinuxOS. The VM specs for openSUSE: RAM 3584 MB, video maxed out at 128MB, virtual hard disk 16GB. According to the specs on one of the openSUSE sites this is more than enough to run the distribution properly. openSUSE runs painfully slow in this setup. I find that very strange because I also set up a guest install of PCLinuOS as a VM with the same VM specs and I setup Debian in a VM with the same specs. Those two both run as fast as the host. I am not running all of them at the same time. I run one at a time. I have plenty of hardware resources to run one at a time and very efficiently. That is why I don't understand it being slow. I can run windows 2000 in the VM and then run AutoDesk CAD software which is a major resource hog in that VM and it runs fast. A computer running CAD software needs the same heavy resources that a hardcore gamer runs to play their 3D games. I have discovered that all three Linux distributions have very different behavior when first setup such as the guest additions. openSUSE guest additions just worked without any installing or configuring required. PCLinuxOS required manual install and some simple configuration and Debian required a lot of things to be installed before the guest additions could be installed and then some complicated configuration before the guest additions worked. Setting the time, time zone and configuring NTP is very slow and the settings for the hardware clock on/off UTC keeps changing back to on UTC between boots. Is there something I can do to get openSUSE to stop changing that setting? Can't run it with UTC on in a VM because the VM uses the host software clock as the hardware clock for the VM. Also running the package manager to install or just do the updates it wants to do is very slow. Is there anything I can do to solve this? Like I said the other two distributions running in VMs run fast. I don't get why this one doesn't. I am sure this distribution will perform much better installed on real hardware and not in a VM environment. I could very easily start using this one a long side my other ones. I have some ideas where this one could be a better fit than the others. I convert MS windows users to Linux and I don't always set up the same distribution for everyone. I use three flavors now and this would be number 4. Thanks for any help getting this figured out.

[opensuse] Curious about Yast2 Partitioner
by Marc Chamberlin 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

I decided to get my computers ready for the upcoming new release of openSuSE 12.3 and my approach has been to always install each release in a separate partition. That way I can continue to use the older release(s) until I get the new version up on running. (I have a few servers and other complications that does not make this a simple/easy upgrade process.) Anywise, on a couple of systems, I found I needed to resize and/or move partitions around a bit, on my disk drives. So I trotted over to Yast2 and discovered that the partitioner, that comes as part of its tool set, does not allow one to do either, claiming that it can't because the partitions are already created and in use. Neither does the version of Yast that comes with the installation disk for openSuSE where such capability is most likely going to be required. I found that both rather surprising and frustrating, especially since over in the Windoz world tools like Partition Magic have had that sort of capability for decades now. So I headed off to the internet in search of a better Linux partitioning tool and quickly came across one called GParted. And lo and behold it did exactly what I wanted! Not only that, but it has a nice GUI interface, like Partition Magic that makes it really easy to do. No need to figure out any of the low level details, just drag and drop partitions around and resize them via GUI images. AND I was really impressed by GParted in how careful it was in going about doing resizing and moving partitions around. Lots of testing being done to make sure things would go smoothly before actually making changes. It appears like a LOT of thought has gone into that tool, far more than even Partition Magic which doesn't appear to do nearly the same amount of preliminary testing. I think this is a REALLY FINE tool, from my first humble impressions, and Wikipedia says this tool has been around for about 8 years now... So my question is this - Why, when there is a tool that is so much more capable, open sourced and freely available, is Yast2 sticking to using such a brain dead partitioning tool? Why not yank that tool out of Yast and replace it with GParted? Is it because no one has the time/inclination to improve the user experiences with Yast? Or has the knowledge about Yast been lost due to its designers moving on to other places and no one is available/capable to work on improvements to it? If so, then I can understand, and no I cannot volunteer either, I already have too many "volunteered" projects on my plate. I just wonder because this makes Yast appear as if it is really becoming dated. IMHO I think most users would be much happier if Yast guided them to using GParted instead of this archaic and crippled partitioning tool that now comes with Yast2. I won't be using the Yast partitioner any more now that I have discovered GParted, and suspect I may have answered my own question, ;-) but still I am just curious about how much thought has been given to improving the partitioning tool in Yast2....

[opensuse] Dying SSD??
by ianseeks 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi Does anyone know what are the symptoms of a dying SSD? I switched on my machine this morning and the system wouldn't load the GUI (kde). I took the short cut of whipping out the 12.2 64bit install DVD (well, after downloading and burning 12.3 RC on WIn 7 and producing 2 duff disks). When the installer checked for partitions if took about 15 mins to get through that section. Once the system was reinstalled, i went to the partitioner in Yast and the same thing happened, it took about 15 minutes to load up the partition data. I'm using the SSD as the root partition and its also booting from it. My home partition is on a separate but ordinary disk. Any ideas? I've got another disk ready if it fails. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Does the script contain the right info (like init info section)? Where do i put this file so it runs at boot, in /etc/init.d or a /etc/rc.d folder? I'm not the person to ask about starting scripts with the new systemd method. With the old svsv method, it was easy to run a script by including it in the after.local script. However, if those commands work manually, then they should work in a script. Try manually running the script and if it works, have it start automatically during boot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No ACPI power off with openSuSE 12.2 / kernel 3.4 - SOLVED
by Rodney Baker 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Hi all. Some time ago there was a thread about shutdown -p or poweroff not working under oS 12.2, and similarly with shutting down from kde/gnome also not powering off. I dont' recall seeing a resolution on that thread. Recently I upgraded to 12.2 (via a clean install) from 11.4 and hit the same issue. Upgrading the kernel from 3.4.11 to 3.4.28 had no effect, and I checked and upgraded the motherboard bios with no result. Then, I happened to be looking at /etc/default/grub for some reason and noticed that the default kernel parameters in that file (which are copied to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg - the grub2 equivalent of menu.lst) included "apm=off acpi=off"! Guess what happened when I removed those two parameters and re-ran grub2- mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg? That's right - acpi poweroff started working again! Why were these 2 parameters included in the default boot params on a clean install of 12.2? I'd be interested to see if this fixes it for anyone else who is having similar problems. Maybe this should be raised as an install bug?
