[opensuse] Problem with inodes on SuSE 12.1 and /var ?

by Markus Egg

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

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] Dark screen

by Wolfgang Mueller

Recently my wife closed my laptop folding down the screen. When I reopened it, it remained dark. Since the computer was connected to other computers by NFS, I could see that it was still running. The only way to have a light screen again, was rebooting the computer. Is there a better way to revitalize a sleeping laptop? Thanks in advance and kind regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] We have finally reached Windows standards :-)

by Basil Chupin

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

[opensuse] Problem playing DVD

by Koenraad Lelong

Hi, I recently installed OS12.3 on a new laptop. Most things are OK, espescially since I installed the AMD-video driver. Unfortunately, I can't play DVD's. I followed the wiki about restricted formats and installed the needed rpm's. When I try to start kaffeine, even without a DVD in the drive it crashes : julie@julie:~>kaffeine julie@julie:~> "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/INTEL_SSDMAEXC024G3H_CVHA242300QP024D" : property "Drive" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/hp______BD_CMB_UJ160_HN32_058445" : property "Drive" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/ST9750420AS_6WS2TVCH" : property "Drive" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/INTEL_SSDMAEXC024G3H_CVHA242300QP024D" : property "DeviceNumber" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/INTEL_SSDMAEXC024G3H_CVHA242300QP024D" : property "Device" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/ST9750420AS_6WS2TVCH" : property "DeviceNumber" does not exist "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/ST9750420AS_6WS2TVCH" : property "Device" does not exist KCrash: Application 'kaffeine-xbu' crashing...

[opensuse] OpenSuse 12.3: cannot mount USB key as user

by Praise

Hi all, I have just installed OpenSuSE 12.3 but I have run into this problem. I have no problem mounting devices as root user, but it does not work when I am a normal user. No password popping out the request, too. The problem do not shows up in other two installations. I have no clue about what could have gone wrong.

[opensuse] ipv6 in 12.3

by zGreenfelder

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? [a/r/i/?] (a): ^Ccodex:/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf #Bm logout add onto that the fact that runlevel 3 seems to no longer be an option (if you install it with that set as the default run level, the console never starts, gets messages about perl or something, looks like a yast first run is trying to run, if you start with 5, then change inittab, it ignores runlevel 3 goes to 5, anyway) zep@codex:~> ps -ef | grep X root 603 545 0 19:14 tty7 00:00:00 /usr/bin/Xorg -br :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-uqSHpb zep 1451 1411 0 19:17 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto X zep@codex:~> cat /etc/inittab id:3:initdefault: zep@codex:~> 12.3 is, in my opinion a _very_ disappointing release. does anyone have any solutions for these issues?
