Bad blocks on a ReiserFS volume. How to retrieve files?
by Silviu Marin-Caea 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

I have a large hard-disk (120 GB) on which some blocks went bad. Now, it cannot be mounted. Attached is what debugreiserfs says. What can I do; I'm newbie to reiserfs architecture. I thought that ReiserFS keeps copies of the superblock or something, like ext2/3 does. reiserfsck says "error occured looks like hardware problem. bread cannot read block 13271040". That's the actual number it displays. PS I have asked the same question on the reiserfs-list, but it's extremely low traffic. Maybe someone here knows more.

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.

[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 :-) .

by zGreenfelder 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

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?

[opensuse] modprobe question
by Lew Wolfgang 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

Hi Folks, I'm using 12.3 and liking it. But a problem with the sound mixer that existed in 12.2 is still here. It manifests itself for me with tvtime, where the cursor left/right keys don't control the volume. The fix is to run: /sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss I tried without success to get this to run automatically at boot time to no avail. Does anyone know the current ju-ju to load this kernel module at boot time?

[opensuse] texlive packaging
by Joseph Comfort 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

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/

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.

[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."

[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 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.

[opensuse] Problems with going back to 12.2
by Oszkó Albert 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hi all, Since I could not bear the noise the video card's fan was making, and was afraid the high temperature kills the video chip before time, decided to go back to 12.2.from 12.3. As I learned there is no fglrx-legacy driver in 12.3 for my old ATI 48xx card, so had to use Mesa instead. Going back to 12.2 is not simple. I try to install from live KDE from an USB stick (has no DVD at the moment). There is no net connection after installation and my other HDD is not mounted. The major thing is that the HDD is spinning endlessly and I cannot figure out, what does it do or what does it looking for. I could start net and mount the other HDD in the first minute ( (in repeated boot ups) while the system is usable, after that it is extremely slow or does not respond at all. The cause is somewhere in KDE I suspect, because in failsafe (not KDE failsafe) mode or in CLI the HDD does not spin madly. So I tried to update KDE from 4.8.4 to somewhat higher version and separately install Fglrx-legacy, but after that the system could not reboot. Only GRUB is seen on the screen and the system halts (though i set grub2). Any hints are welcome, how can I remedy these problems. I also have a WIN 7 on the same HDD.

[opensuse] USB audio device not configured correctly
by Jim Henderson 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

I've just purchased an inexpensive USB cassette player in order to archive/preserve some audio cassette recordings of some interviews I did years ago, and I've run into a slight issue with the detection of the device. The device identifies as a JMTek USB Audio Device (Vendor 0c76, Device 160a). I'm using openSUSE 12.2. When I plug the device in and connect to it with Audacity, and I only get a mono channel (rather than a stereo setup). Looking at the output of "lsusb -v", I see that the input terminal is identified as a microphone with one channel. If I start a Windows VM in Virtualbox and connect the device to that, it is recognized (in Windows) as a stereo device, and I can record left and right channels, so the hardware should be recognized as having stereo channels via USB. There are no special drivers installed for the Windows VM (it was just "plug and play"). I'd much rather not have to boot up a Windows VM in order to record audio from this device. I also would prefer to not use line-in, as I almost always have ended up with a 60 cycle hum recording that way, and I don't get that if I record over the USB connection (the USB connection also powers the device). snd_usb_audio is automatically loading when I plug the device in. Are there any tricks that I might apply to getting this device recognized properly or to diagnose why it's being identified as a mono device?

[opensuse] Where is personal shell used set?
by Thomas Taylor 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

When I open a bash shell and modify the settings I give it a name (shell-tom), click on apply and then OK. Where are these modifications saved? I would expect to find them in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc but they aren't there. I want to have the saved settings used whenever I open a bash shell as the user or another bash shell (shell-root) when su-ing.

[opensuse] Virus-scanner recommendation
by Koenraad Lelong 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, I'm running a Postfix mails-server that serves mainly Windows-clients, so a virus-scanner is needed. Up until recently I was running clamav and Norman. Unfortunately, Norman started misbehaving (needing huge amounts of disk-io, slowing down the server) and I had to disable it. So I'm looking for some other virus-scanner besides clamav. Can anyone recommend a virus-scanner that runs under Linux with amavis ? I looked at some scanners, but they are Windows-only. I still need to look at the "big" ones (kaspersky, symantec) though.

[opensuse] Problems with Device Notifier - opensuse 12.3
by eddie 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Just wondering if anyone else has found that when you put a video DVD in their drive it does not come up with the related DVD options. Things like Rip Video DVD or Play DVD with Kaffeine etc do not appear while Open with File Manager and a couple other things associated with data discs do. All DVD device actions are listed in the Device Notifier Settings. They just don't appear when a video DVD is inserted. Does anyone have any idea how to correct this? Or is this just a idiosyncrasy of my system? Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] misleading file listings when ACL is set
by lynn 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

12.3 running a Samba 4 DC and file server Hi everyone. I have a share with no ACL set. We use cifs to mount the share on other 12.3 clients which are joined to the domain. When a file is created it looks like this: -rwxrwxr-x+ This suggests that group members can edit it. They can't. In real life, it behaves as: -rw-r--r-- just as the windows security tab for the same file suggests. I know that ACL's are a nightmare when converting between posix and windows flavours, but Is there any way we can get a 'nearer the truth' Linux file listing when ACL's have to be set?

[opensuse] 12.3 Rescue CD Question
by upscope 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

All this was done on my 12.2 side of system. See Signature below for Config. I downloaded the 12.3 Rescue CD from the opensuse download page. I get the same menu as the 12.3 Live CD. Nothing about Rescue. Is this correct and if so why would I need the Live CD also? I will report seperately later after I make sure I did not do something wrong. Ran md5sum and sha1sum. Both correct. Then burned CD with the version of K3B from : [CODE] URL: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/410/openSUSE_12.2/ 9wvj:~> rpm -q k3b k3b-2.0.2-101.7.x86_64 [/CODE] Burned the iso and booted the system. I get the same menu as the 12.3 Live CD. Nothing about Rescue. Is this correct and if so why would I need the Live CD also? Also installed the version from packman. No difference except it seems to retain the burn info and does not check md5 if you try burning again. I will report seperately later after I make sure I did not do something wrong.

[opensuse] 12.3 and acpi vs. lm_sensors, cpufreq, fancontrol (nvidia graphics) and power-off
by Carl Hartung 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi All, Unlike the prior quiet running 11.4 (x86_64/GNOME2) installation I had on this system, 12.3 (x86_64/KDE) is exhibiting the following: a) At installation via DVD, the system hung almost immediately at udev. Typing 'acpi=off' before selecting 'Installation' circumvented the hang. b) 12.3 is beautiful, and fast! Thanks everyone! I love it :-) But I seem to have lost correct sensor driven GPU fan control. It now has only two speeds ... loud and loudest o_O. It starts out in 'loudest' mode then eventually drops to 'loud'. Very annoying. c) Selecting 'Leave' then 'Shut down' works right up to the point where nothing is mounted, no processes are running and the system is not in any way responsive ... but it does not power-off. Pressing and holding the power button briefly turns it off. (Interestingly, 'Leave' and 'Restart' works.) The system is an ASUS laptop, model X83VB-X1, with nVidia GeForce 9300M GS graphics adapter (512 MB video RAM.) The mainboard is an 'N80VB (ver. 1)'. It's configured with 4 GB RAM and an internal 500 GB SATA HD. These symptoms strike me as related to ACPI (and to the 'acpi=off' invocation at install.) After a bit of research, I followed the steps described here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810344 (03/19/2013, 12.3, status "NEW"; "Summary: fancontol not starting") No joy. Just these afterward from '# systemctl list-units' (results wrapped by me): lm_sensors.service loaded active exited Initialize hardware monitoring sensors cpufreq.service loaded failed failed LSB: CPUFreq modules loader fancontrol_local.service loaded failed failed Initialize fancontrol There's also this: # fancontrol --help Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ... Error: Can't read configuration file [Related, but tangential: Under 11.4 GNOME2, I ran a taskbar applet which graphically displayed the activity of each core, side by side, in addition to the CPU operating frequency. It usually ran at 800 MHz and only peaked 'on demand' nicely at 2.0 GHz -- and I could tell this by the sound of the fans. Is there a KDE equivalent to that applet available? I like being able to tell at a glance when the system is peaking 'on demand.'] These are the _only_ wrinkles remaining to be ironed out on this otherwise beautiful installation. I'd like to avoid burning out the GPU and/or it's fan while undergoing my combined 12.3 / KDE / systemd learning curve. Ideas and suggestions will be gratefully appreciated.

[opensuse] mRemote users beware: Windows malware wipes linux boxes via mRemote
by Greg Freemyer 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

All, This is a first for me. Per: http://blogs.csoonline.com/malwarecybercrime/2628/symantecs-research-south-… There is a piece of windows malware that looks for mRemote installs on windows. If found it looks for cached "root" credentials. If those are found it uploads a script to wipeout /kernel, /usr, /etc, and /home. I gather the key vulnerability is that mRemote stores the destination host and credentials in plaintext. (or a easily decoded format). If anyone has mRemote installed on a windows box, I'm curious how the password is stored. The config info is at: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Felix_Deimel\mRemote\confCons.xml fyi: the target of this attack was South Korea, but once malware code like this is made public, it starts to show up in other malware.

[opensuse] vlan frames redirected to the wrong bridge

[opensuse] Usual problem with upgrade from DVD to 12.3 with system using mdadm
by Claudio ML 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hello all, I have seen there is the same problem of the previous versions of OpenSuSE also into 12.3. The problem is: If you try to upgrade from a DVD an OpenSuSE with software raid (mdadm), the installer don't see the previous version of openSuSE on the hard disk. This is caused because the kernel don't recognize correctly the md arrays. In example, if i have md0 (/ root file system), md1 (/var), md2 (/srv), the installer see this as md125, md126 and md127. So, no DVD upgrade possible for this machines. I have tryied to edit manually the fstab on the machine, adapting to what the installer see, but after the upgrade the system becomes un-bootable. Anyone have a good workaround for this problem? Cordially, Claudio. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, folks, Hi, Juergen, I have installed FreeCAD 0.13 (from repository home:jnweiger:freecad) on OpenSuSE 12.3/x64. Installation went smooth, all dependencies were resolved. However, launch of FreeCAD 0.13 is only partial success, shell is loaded, it immediately gives error message "No module named StartGUI". Workbench -> New -> … always throws the same type of error, for example Workbench -> New -> Arch - "No module named Drawing". Anyone have any clue what might be wrong ? PyQt module is installed.

[opensuse] Live USB and bulk install
by Anton Aylward 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

In the past I've only ever had to install Linux on single machines at a time, but a new client has raised the question of doing a bulk install on many (more than 20, possibly as many as a hundred) workstations. Step and repeat, all the same. Rather than the long work off an installation DVD, I'm wondering... Is is possible to set up what amount to a LiveUSB stick, (Yes I've seen https://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick) boot from it, then use 'dd' to copy the stick to the hard drive, and then finally do some magic to make the new Linux on the hard drive bootable? Just a few minutes work.inux on the hard drive bootable? Yes I appreciate that I'll have to do much setup before hands for the server that handles the logins and configure the various files on the stick-image. In an ideal world I want to be able to make a couple or more of these sticks and give them to the clients IT staff - or at least the ones enthusiastic about Linux/Suse in the future - with a set of idiot poof instructions. Hopefully that way the "hundred or so" that the manager talks about can be accomplished in a few hours. Then we're down to the step-and-repeat of testing. Of course no-one is going to test a machine he did the install on :-0 -- The major advances in civilization are processes that all but wreck the societies in which they occur. - A.N.

[opensuse] Upgrade to 12.3 caused akonadi problems/crash in 11.4
by Marc Chamberlin 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

I have been running an openSuSE 11.4 system with a number of server applications such as Tomcat, James, Bacula etc., and decided it was time I upgrade it to 12.3. I have always followed a model of keeping /home in it's own partition and installing each new version of openSuSE into it's own partition. In this way, my thinking was that I could keep running the older version of openSuSE until I get all the servers and configuration files (found in /etc /srv and elsewhere) upgraded and running under the newer version of openSuSE. That model has always worked in the past and I thought openSuSE developers would continue to adhere to that model as well... In other words, I thought that things, such as configuration files for user applications, put in user's /home directories would stay backwards compatible with future versions of openSuSE and we could upgrade/migrate them at our leisure, if/when we wanted to.. Well, that model, has failed this time on me. After installing openSuSE 12.3, I restarted my 11.4 system and found that there were several akonadi processes that were collectively running the CPU at 100% capacity and within a few minutes the 11.4 system would completely lock up on me forcing me to hard reboot the system... This strongly indicated that the 12.3 installation of openSuSE touched/changed configuration files in the /home user directories, in such a way that broke 11.4, which comes as a surprise.... AND it is scary because I do not know what all got touched/changed. I know that I am making a large version jump in openSuSE, but I thought the whole idea/suggestion of putting /home in a separate directory was to allow exactly this sort of thing, to be able to run different versions of openSuSE with a "constant" home directory. If a change in a configuration file, found on the /home directories, is absolutely necessary, then why not use a scheme that uses some sort of versioning markers or perhaps links and environment variables to differentiate what config (or part of a config) file goes with what version of it's associated application or OS? It really seems like /home dirs and files should stay functional no matter what version of openSuSE is running, and these files should never break the OS. Seems like configuration files that are highly OS dependent should be under /etc Doing some internet searches, I found a set of instructions at http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=88771&start=15 which described how to disable akonadi. This was done by renaming a bunch of files (as described in this forum) which are found in the users home directory under various .directories. By disabling akonadi, the 11.4 system is able to run ok, but I am not familiar with akonadi and the descriptions of it is not helping me to grok what the impact of disabling it may be on the 12.3 system. I don't know if I will need akonadi or not in the 12.3 version of openSuSE, and since it was enabled and running after the installation, I fear I might be in for some agonizing debugging if things do not work correctly in 12.3. So how should I best proceed? Is there a way to disable akonadi when I am running 11.4 and enable it when I am running 12.3 automagically?

[opensuse] OpenSUSE Hyper-V 'An error occurred during initrd creation'
by Paul Groves 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

I am having a problem installing OpenSUSE on a Hyper-V VM an was hoping someone could help me with this issue. I install from the cd as usual but when it gets to 86% it gives me this error: An error occurred during initrd creation error disk: 'hd0,2' not found It then tells me grub failed to install. I tested this same install on a physical machine from the same physical CD and it worked fine so I thought this must be a compatibility issue with Hyper-V. I read online and discovered I apparently has to install the drivers for the Hyper-v machine for this to install correctly. I checked and these are already in the repositories and selected by default. (The package is called hyper-v). I did however, try to install them manually, it told me they installed correctly but when I continued with the install the same error occurred. I decided to configure the machine on SUSEStudio and download the pre-made .vhd for Hyper-V I installed a VM with this .vhd file and it booted up fine. I can reboot the server at this point and every time it boots fine :) But.... if Iog-in then try to reboot (even if I log straight back out without making any changes) I get the following error after the GRUB boot screen has finished: waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-14d5346542020202000000000000000000000000000000000-part1 to appear: ..............................Could not find /dev-disk/by-id/scsi-14d5346542020202000000000000000000000000000000000-part1. Want me to fall back to /dev-disk/by-id/scsi-14d5346542020202000000000000000000000000000000000-part1? (Y/n) I even tried installing the hyper-v integration tools and drivers again before I rebooted but this makes no difference. I have installed ubuntu, fedora and CentOS on Hyper-V as I read this issue affected any Linux system but they all work fine, OpenSUSE has the same errors every time I try to install on versions 12.3, 12.2, 12.1, 11.4. I even tried a copy of SLES 11.4 I was given with the exact same errors! Has anyone else come across this issue?

Just a note that apper with 12.3 seems much better behaved. I've left it installed and have used it a few times to pull down updates in the last couple weeks.

Honestly, I don't buy this argument. This behavior points to a serious *kernel* problem in this area, since a system app, even running as root, should never ever be able to firmly lock the system, no matter what firmware version it is running.

[opensuse] Duplicate NFS mounts in Places
by Alvin 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hello all, I upgraded from openSUSE 12.1 to openSUSE 12.3. Both were running KDE 4.10. I have noticed that some of my NFS mounts are duplicated in the "Places" panel in Dolphin (left-hand side). The duplicated items have an additional '/' in the name (e.g. //docs). My NFS server is openSUSE 12.2. I am using NFS4. My fstab entry is: server:/docs /mnt/server_docs nfs4 default,intr,hard,user 0 0 When I select the entry that has a single '/' I get a notification that: "Could not mount the following device: /docs on server." and the text in the red bar in Dolphin states: "An error occurred while accessing '/docs on server', the system responded: mount.nfs4: /mnt/server_docs is busy or already mounted" If I select the entry with two forward slashes ('//'), it works just fine. I suspect this is an issue caused by the upgrade (e.g. mixed up config file?). Does anyone know of a way to force Dolphin or KDE to refresh its listings?

I wish the openSuSE developers/designers, along with the Linux community in general, would give some more thought and directions on how we users are suppose to be able to migrate to newer releases of an OS while at the same time being able to regress back to previous releases when we have to. Having to maintain separate /home directories-partitions for each release would be a major PITA because of the divergences that will happen, and keeping data synchronized between them (can you say mail databases for example?) while running under different versions of openSuSE. Some of us poor users don't have the luxury of setting up separate servers and client computers when migrating from one OS to the next, and must do it in place. And getting a new system up and running takes time and we cannot afford to have our computers down during production/work hours, so the migration process can take a long time to complete. I know, I been through this process quite a few times now. I have a few tricks in place that help, for example I yank a lot of stuff out of /etc for different server configurations files and link them back in to versioned directories (in a separate partition which then retains configuration files for running the servers under different versions of openSuSE as well as different versions of the servers themselves.) Guess I will have to start doing something similar for the /home directories and figure out what stuff KDE/openSuSE is likely to touch and yank that stuff out to a separate partition with versioned directories as well. Either way it is a PITA and I wish there was a well defined (and adhered to) model for laying out partitions and directories so we can easily support regressing back when it is necessary to do so.

19 Mar '13

Hi 12.2 to 12.3 upgrade. KDE. Hi everyone I could never connect to my tablet in 12.2. It needed a udev rule or something. In 12.3, upgraded from 12.2 it just works. No udev rule nor nothing. But it's a bit hit and miss. Sometimes I can edit a file I created e.g. in /mnt/local/Downloads on the tablet, and sometimes I can't. If I drag the file to the desktop, edit it and then drag it back to the tablet, then it's OK. If I try to edit it by just clicking it from the Dolphin window, it first seems to copy the file to /var/tmp before opening it. That's the bit which seems to take the time and produce a permission error. 1. Do I need a udev rule? 2. Must I copy files from the tablet first to be able to edit them? 3. Do I have any control over which folders I can see from the tablet? (I don't have the tablet rooted, maybe I should?)

[opensuse] Postfix transport problem
by Andre Truter 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

We have a local mail server set up that fetches mail from the external mail server and deliver it to local mail boxes where the office staff read it with KMail. Mail is also sent via the local mail server. so internal mail is just delivered directly and do not need to go through the external relay server. But, there is one email address that is used only externally, so it has no local mailbox. So postfix should deliver mail to it directly to the external mail server where the mailbox is. So I added an entry to /etc/postfix/transport for it like this: external.mail(a)example.com smtp:[external.mail.server] When I send mail from the mailserver itself to this address, it works as expeted; it relays the mail directly to the external server. But any email sent to this address from another box in the office, does not work.. Postfix still try to deliver it locally. Any idea why it would disregard the transport map for mail that does not originate locally?

[opensuse] local NTP server?
by Felix Miata 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Is there something on http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-reference/cha.… that explains how I can configure a system to be an NTP server for other systems on a LAN? If it's there, I'm not recognizing it, and it's not obvious to me looking at time config in YaST2 or elsewhere in YaST2, or in /etc/ntp.conf. Also, what exactly does running as daemon in context of NTP mean or imply? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

In the 4 hours that I have had 12.3 installed on this system, it has crashed twice, requiring a power down & up to recover. Both times I was doing something with a browser.

[opensuse] Something chnasged my keymap
by Anton Aylward 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

I know what lives in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps and I know how to change my keymaps, but that do the mean/ OK, ignore the non English ones. But something changed. The left hand ctl key stopped working in 12.2 and doesn't work in 12.3. I wasn't given choices about this when doing the install. I did't even cunt the number of keys on this keyboard :-( If I'm in GUI mode, the left alt+Fn key doesn't hotkey to another vt, only the tight alt+Fn key doens that/. But if I'm in a Vt, only the left Alt+Fn takes me to another vt or back to the GUI, the right Alt+Fn does nothing. It didn't used to be like that with 11.4 on this hardware; when I insert my fedora drive or my magia drive to this hardware it doesn't behave like that either. "Obviously" im missing something but my knowledge and understanding of the mystique under /usr/share/kbd is primitive and exists somewhere between non-existent and following magic incantations. I'd like to restore function but don't know the magic. And yes I've been wading though google ... yet remain unenlightened. -- Plurality is never to be posited without need. --Occam -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] grub2 loopback with 12.3 isos
by Jim Henderson 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Wondering if anyone has played with this at all. I just picked up a couple 32 GB USB flash drives, and am looking to put the 12.3 ISOs on one of the drives configured with grub2 to boot the ISO images directly. I'm not that particular about which bootloader I use, so if there's a way to hand this off to memdisk or some other boot loader, I'm all ears. :) I know if I want to put the install DVD ISOs on the drive as distributed, the drive needs to be ext2 rather than vfat. Many distributions seem to support passing the kernel a "fromiso" or "isofile" parameter so that when the system switches from real mode to the kernel, it can pick up with the ISO file (presumably mounting it via a loop mount). I can't find anything that indicates whether this parameter is enabled in openSUSE or not. I did try a few things out, and was able to (for example) get the initrd to load up, but once that happened, the ISO got yanked out from under the installer, and I ended up in the "simple" installer (ncurses interface where you have to set everything up by hand). I'm in the process of copying the contents of the ISOs to directories on the drive, and going to look to see if grub2 can chainload the isolinux configurations, but if I could come up with a recipe to do this just by copying the ISOs over, that'd be preferable (that way if I wanted to burn an ISO for someone, I have the file right there). Thanks!

[opensuse] FreeCAD 0.13 / OpenSuSE 12.3 Problem - Missing Modules

Hi, I have installed FreeCAD 0.13 (from repository) on OpenSuSE 12.3. Installation went smooth, all dependencies were resolved. However, launch of FreeCAD 0.13 is only partial success, shell is loaded, it immediately gives error message "No module named StartGUI".

[opensuse] Power button always shuts down the system
by Fabian Scheler 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi openSUSE-folks, for quite some time I was convinced that hibernation is broken on my system (openSUSE 12.2/12.3 x64, Dell Latitude E6220) but now I found out that just no "suspend to disk" was initiated when pressing the power button, but the system just was shut down. Calling pm-hibernate or s2disk via the shell works fine. In the power management plasmoid I configured that the system should be hibernated when the power button is pressed, I also disabled the global short cut that points to a "power off" action. However, none of this improved the situation. After spending some time with google I finally found the acpi-script handling the power button events: /usr/lib/acpid/power_button. Inside this script the enviroment variable $POWER_BUTTON_HOOK is checked and apparently it should contain the KDE-specific hook that KDE uses to handle such events. This variable however is not set on my system and thus the system is shut down by this script. Where should this variable be set and what is the correct value for KDE?

[opensuse] HTML Editor recommendation - in openSuse repositories

In the past I've used Nvu and Arachnophilia, which I liked, Bluefish which I was ambiguous about and Komposer which I didn’t like mostly because it was unstable and Quanta, which I thought was overkill.

[opensuse] Sis drive segfaults in 12.3
by Anton Aylward 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

I've just installed 12.3 on one of my scratch machines. It has a SiS chipset, the 630/670 video chip. This worked with 12.2 but, as I reported, the installation had to be done in text mode with 12.2 since the installer couldn't do EDID handling properly with my Flatron. See the archives. The 12.3 installer seems to handle the Flatron, but only in vesa mode. When the install finishes and I reboot the graphical login crashes. The log files show that the SiS driver segfaults. 1. Is anyone else seeing this? 2. I try a spare video card but the a) the kernel doesn't seem to want to run it in text mode during boot so I can't see what's going on b) when booted and in GUI mode (lovely, hi-res!) everything else is frozen - keyboard, mouse, clock display. 3. I've tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf to say "vesa" instead, but it won't let go of the SiS - it still tries using SiS and segfaults. Perhaps my Xorg-fu is lacking. All the Flatron side seems happy now. I _think_ the drivers are seeing the EDID. Any suggestions? -- I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: "O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous."

[opensuse] No fglrx legacy in 12.3 Mesa is extremely noisy
by Oszkó Albert 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hi all, I installed 12.3 yesterday and had to learn that AMD will never support the latest Xorg included in this distribution. I do not want any special feature of the video driver, so Mesa would be OK for me, if it would not cause the cooling fan on the video card to spin with extreme noise and even with this rotation speed the chip temperature would not be above boiling point. What can I do? Buy a newer card - do not want this option Revert back to 12.2 Downgrade Xorg - seems a bit difficult for me Tweak Mesa - but how?

[opensuse] Has the kernel (or whatever) lost the ability to handle ntfs formatted partitions devices?
by Basil Chupin 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

I have an external USB3, 2TB, WD HDD which is formatted in ntfs. I also have an external USB2 500GB Maxtor also formatted in ntfs and which I have used for years to do backups of my Linux system files. Never a problem in the past. However, I have now found that, starting with the more recent upgrades of the kernel from Kernel:/stable/standard for 12.2 (and now 12.3) and using the 2TB WD HDD copying files from an ext4 formatted partition to ntfs formatted drives fail. Let me describe things from the start: * I switch on the external WD and access its contents with Dolphin. I then use mc (Midnight Commander) to copy files from the main system to the external; * even though the WD HDD is a USB 3 device and connected to a USB 3 port the transfer rate is no better than what I got using USB 2; * a copy from ext4 partition at some stage fails with an error message that "Cannot chmod target file - no such file or directory (2)" - or some other similar error message which is usually a (5) number - but many other files HAD been successfully copied across; * BUT, but, and this is what has me scratching my head, is *that* *the* USB* *device* *is* *umounted* and is no longer seen by mc NOR by Dolphin!; * the device is still in the taskbar's Device Notifier panel and Dolphin will access it and display its contents but the damn thing is initially UNMOUNTED when an error occurs during the copying process. Anybody else seeing this behaviour, or have seen it but ignored it as "just one of these things"?

[opensuse] updaters to 12.3 be aware

Check services that you start automagically. After updating to 12.3 this AM I found lm_sensors and apcupsd no longer running. Further checking showed that they were not enabled. Simple solution: systemctl enable lm_sensors.service systemctl start lm_sensors.service same for apcupsd. apcupsd need updating (update just issued) as script wants /usr/sbin/apcupsd now where previous was /sbin/apcupsd -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member 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

[opensuse] upgraded 12.2/x86 to 12.3/x86 via zypper dup - still inside 12.2 reboot command nor shutdown nor acpi-event (inside virtualbox) didnt succeed

upgraded 12.2/x86 to 12.3/x86 via zypper dup - still inside 12.2 reboot command nor shutdown nor acpi-event (inside virtualbox) didn't succeed tried to upgrade (zypper dup) in my virtualbox some 12.2 test machine with default opensuse repos to 12.3. first of all, zypper in zypper or similar commands to first upgrade the zypper stack did create a huge mess of dependencies which i couldn't make sense of even manually, this and that requiring to ditch all kinds of other stuff eventually still needing that and so on. so i needed to directly go for zypper dup after a while it completed and i wanted to shutdown/reboot this machine but it didnt really progress anywhere. i waited for 15minutes and even the acpi power event command of virtualbox didn't gave me any success. so i needed to create the reset command from the virtualbox. when the 12.3 came up afterwards it complained about some disk checks but continued. worth of bug report? anyone else having this? any real manual and instructions on the official ways and best practices on zypper dup, prerequisites and so on? whole machine is default single-disk in virtualbox, and i think single partition in addition to swap but nothing else. i could provide a bit more details if needed. thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, Just upgraded my O/S from 12.2 to 12.3 and on login KDE plasma crashes leaving me with a black screen. I rebooted into recovery mode, flipped into a terminal and moved .kde4 folder to .kde4-old so it would create a new one upon login. It successfully created a new desktop but plasma still crashes and no panel nor icons etc. My setup is Dell XPS L502x 8GB RAM Opensuse 12.2 I downloaded the iso and switched off all other repos and mounted the 12.3 iso and then ran zypper dup to get to where I am. Any help with plasma crashing on login would be appreciated Jide Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone provided by Airtel Nigeria.

[opensuse] zypper issue with NFS repo
by Alvin 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hello, I am having trouble using zypper (libzypp?) and my NFS repository. When my openSUSE 12.2 desktop attempts to refresh (from within YaST or via zypper on the commandline), I get the following error message: "Failed to mount server:/repositories/misc: on /var/adm/mount/AP_0xknsS2y: Unable to verify that the media was mounted" I have the same repo added on another desktop that has openSUSE 12.1 and it works just fine. The desktop/server that provides the repository is openSUSE 12.2 and exports the directory using NFS4. Both the openSUSE 12.1 and 12.2 desktops (the clients) have identical configurations (both have "NFS v4 Protocol" checked.). If I change the 12.2 desktop to "Local Directory", it works just fine. I can mount other directories from the "server" on the 12.2 desktop without any problems. Can anyone offer any ideas of how I can fix this or troubleshoot this further?

[opensuse] sleeping network
by Robert Schweikert 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi, I have an annoying issue with the network on my laptop apparently going to sleep. This is a new machine and I installed openSUSE 12.3 when I received the laptop earlier this week. Thus I have no point of comparison to openSUSE 12.2 or earlier. The issue is that the wireless light on the laptop is on, but no one is home to answer the call, i.e. I cannot ping the machine or ssh in. When I log into the machine and ping some other box on my network from the laptop everything comes back to live and I can then go back and ssh in from another machine. I have disable the PCI power saving mode in the firmware but that did not change the behavior. I have looked in the power management interface of XFCE to see if there is a setting that triggers this behavior but did not see anything obvious. Does anyone have an idea what would casue this behavior and how I might "fix" it such that the network does not go to sleep.

[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.

[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 ?

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

[opensuse] Flash Cache
by Koenraad Lelong 10 Mar '13

Hi, I just got a new laptop. It seems to contain a "flash cache" device. That is a SSD drive to cache disk-IO, so my googling tells me. I didn't find if linux really supports this, although I saw something about servers. Anyone has more information ? Will OS12.2/12.3 support this out of the box, or do I need to tweek ?

[opensuse] Grub vs LILO

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

A decade plus of tool development has gone into automating the process so there are lots of solutions. One consistent truth is that the process is driven by a specfile that controls the compiling of the code and the ultimate creation of the rpm. That process is called packaging and there is an dedicated opensuse-packaging mailing list dedicated to it.

(wait 10+ minutes for build results to show succeeded, note the refresh icon inside the "build results" button) Click on "opensuse 12.2" to see what you built. Click on rpm of your choice and download it. fyi: That is a "tutorial" package I created, but never really did much with. The nice thing is the specfile that controls how the rpm is built is really simple. okay, now that you've built your first rpm via the WebUI, try to branch a real package and patch it from the command-line. (Note this assumes you have an account on build.opensuse.org, so don't skip down here until you've done at least that much of the above). http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tutorial#A_start_to_end_examp… Greg > > -- 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?
by Andreas 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Hi, I've got an old notebook from about 2002 that has only a pentium 3 600mhz with 192mb RAM and a 20 gb hdd. Now I'm wondering if I could use it as a web-radio receiver or throw it out. 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

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.

Well, I'm quite reluctant to change nntp reader just because out of 18 groups I'm having no trouble with, for some weird reason this particular group misbehaves.

[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?

[opensuse] 'find' and/or xargs experts, a hopefully simple syntax question
by Greg Freemyer 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

All, In non-working-psuedo-find-language I want to find a command to do: find . -name \*.E01 -exec ewfverify -l $(basename '{}').ewfverify.out '{}' ; Can anyone give me the right syntax. I'm not sure if it is easier to add xargs to the mix, if so that's fine too. === background with examples I have common situation where I have a parent folder with multiple children folders. This command more or less does what I want: find . -name \*.E01 | xargs -n 1 ewfverify > ewfverify.out That effectively does the same as (ewfverify <path_to_E01_file1> ;ewfverify <path_to_E01_file2> ;ewfverify <path_to_E01_file1> ;ewfverify <path_to_E01_file3> ; etc ) > ewfverify.out But I really want to have each command be more like: ewfverify -l <base_filename>.ewfverify_log <path_to_E01_file> I think just using find -exec will be better.

I ask because when I enter routes into yast-network > devices-network settings-routing, I lose all connectivity to that server. Those are simply different ways of setting routes. With Yast, the routes are stored in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes. You can manually add routes with the route command, as shown in that article. However, if you use the route commands, the routes will disappear when you reboot, so you'd have to include them in a script that runs at boot. When you save the routes in the routes file, they get loaded automatically as part of the boot up process. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Silly little text file editing question............
by Duaine Hechler 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Since I've been out of the mainframe world for about 13 years, what happened to the mainframe style "full screen" text editors being standard in Linux. Like, XEDIT, KEDIT, ISPF. And I know about vi, kate, and kwrite BUT these are NOT full screen "text" editors - these are full screen "line" editor. Unlike, XEDIT, where you can move, copy, insert, delete, etc - easily - "blocks" of lines I know versions of these exist, like the "THE" editor. However, why haven't these become the "standard" ? (Even XEDIT, starts basically in character basic "console" mode (no graphics capabilities needed), which could be run in a Linux console session) Having a "system programming" background, I just don't understand why anyone would put up with a "line" editor.

I know what you all are going to say, "this is not the SLES forum" but i have meet a dead-end at the SLES11 forum so i thought i would ask here since opensuse and SLES are suse based. I have a SLES11 SP2 server with multi-nic's and i was having a problem described here: http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7000318 So i followed this TID and everything is working the way i expect it to work. The problem is, these entries/routes do not survive a reboot and i have to manually type them in again. So is there any way to have these routes static? In other Linux distro's, you put these entries in a script located in /etc/sysconfig/networkXXX/XXXX. Where does one put static routes in a suse based OS? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
