[opensuse] Wireshark crashes
by James Knott 14 Jun '13

I've noticed Wireshark now shuts down when doing something like restarting the capture. This is a very recent problem and, IIRC, there was an update recently. Has anyone else experienced this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] XFS and openSUSE 12.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

I am using XFS on a 12.1 system. The system records jpeg data to large files in real time. We have used XFS for this for a while since it has as a listed feature that it is well suited to writing streaming media data. We have used this for quite a while on openSUSE 11.2. We have developed a new version of this system that collects more data. What I have found is that the jpeg data is typically written at the speed I expect. Every once in a while, the write takes 100x longer. Instead of the expected 80 msecs or so to do the compress and write, it takes, say, 4 or 5 seconds. I have looked in all the usual suspect places, and nothing seems to point at anything. For one test, I wrote to /dev/null instead of the real file, The delays do not happen. They do seem to be related to actually writing to the physical disk. I expect some delay occasionally when disks are physically flushed. There is buffering in our application to allow this. But 5 seconds is simply wrong. So, I am curious if anyone has seen performance issues like this with XFS on openSUSE 12.1.

[opensuse] Why does yast use 127.0.0.2 for localhost?
by Carlos E. R. 13 Jun '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Everytime I use YaST to configure the network, it adds this line to /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.2 Telcontar.valinor Telcontar That line provokes postfix into failure - one message per minute in the logs: .... fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for 127.0.0.2 and has to be deleted manually every time. Notice that I have this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.14 Telcontar.valinor Telcontar What's the use of 127.0.0.2, why does yast insist on creating it? Why not 127.0.0.1?

[opensuse] OS 12.3 udev hangs while booting

While booting the system again several times I encountered a strange error message while booting: systemd-udevd[239]: worker [268] /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb7/7-0:1.0 timeout; kill it There is the string "usb7" within the message, but I did *not* have any USB devices connected to the system.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have several PGP keys, lets say one per mail address.

[opensuse] rpcbind ignores RPCBIND_OPTIONS
by Philippe Andersson 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Hello, On OpenSuSE 12.3, the contents of the variable RPCBIND_OPTIONS (defined in /etc/sysconfig/rpcbind) is completely ignored by the startup process. Is there a way to tell the service file (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rpcbind.service) to take the sysconfig file into consideration ? I tried just adding the line: EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/rpcbind in the [Service] section, but that's clearly not enough. Any idea ? TIA Cheers. Bye. Ph.

[opensuse] Why these dependency failures in KDE 4.10.4?
by Basil Chupin 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

For the past several days+ I get these dependency failures after KDE was upgraded to 4.10.4. And as I check for updates/upgrades daily these failures are becoming a bit of a nuisance as well as a puzzlement because my expectation is that after all these days these failures would have been resolved. The failures are here: http://susepaste.org/86588486 Is anybody else experiencing these dependency failures, thanks? For information, these are the repositories I have enabled in 12.3: http://susepaste.org/4415497 An additional point re this: the options one is given to resolve dependencies are never fully explained to make a confident decision as to which option to choose. Is there some documentation which gives a fuller explanation of what each means and what may occur if one chooses the wrong/right option(s)?
