I also had an incompatible chromium-ffmpg package installed. I was using Chromium 27.0.1425, but somehow managed to updated to a 29.something of the ffmpg package. The fix for me (so far) has been to update all of Chromium to the 29.0.1541 build form network:chromium. Tested, and so far on all pages it was crashing, it's working now. Thanks for the hint!!

[opensuse] Problem with the latest Chromium 27.0.1425.0 on openSUSE 12.3?
by C 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

I recently updated to the latest Chromium 27.0.1425.0-1.1.1 from the openSUSE 12.3 OSS repo, and am having some issues with it now. The previous version worked perfectly. This release though is constantly giving me the "Aw Snap" error - especially on pages like Google+, the new Google Maps etc. Anything that is using some of the newer wizardry to dynamically update page content is especially bad. I've removed my profile forcing Chromium to generate a clean/new profile and nothing changed also disabled/removed all extensions - still getting Aw Snap all the time. Another problem is periodically it will not play streaming content... example, YouTube. The page will load, the video will play for 5 or 10 seconds and then stop. I can push it along by clicking a little ahead of where it's stopped or a little behind, and it'll play again for about 10 seconds and stop. Restart the browser and sometimes it'll work right... This is all new for me with the 27.0.1425.0 release. Is anyone else (who uses Chromium) seeing this? Any ideas on how to track down what might be broken?

[opensuse] mkinitrd of 12.2 has a small defect, a call for testing
by Lars Müller 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hi, some of you might have noticed mkinitrd of openSUSE 12.2 has a small bug. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=792925 is the report to track it. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=792925#c7 provides fixed packages and I like to get some more feedback before it gets on its way to the general update/12.2 tree. Yes, we'll see it in update/12.2-test beforehand anyhow. Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

[opensuse] ssytemd and openSUSE
by Istvan Gabor 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hello: I see there are plenty of messages on this list related to systemd, and systemd related issues. For me this fact indicates that systemd is not matured and stable enough to be included in a RELEASE as default and standard. To include a question too, I thought that post 12.1 openSUSE versions come with systemd and do not offer sysvinit as an alternative. Still I read here that some users are using or trying to use sysvinit on openSUSE 12.3. So, do openSUSE 12.2 and 12.3 offer sysvinit package(s) similarly to 12.1 which can be exchanged for systemd?

[opensuse] default root password
by Yaning 21 Jun '13

Hi I installed opensuse 12.3 by following this link: https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Highbank#Installing_the_openSUSE_12.3_Image_.28… this section: Installing the openSUSE 12.3 Image (direct disk access) After finish and reboot, it ask me login user name and password. During the install, it dose not ask to create a user account, so I login as root, but I don't know the root password. Could anyone tell me what is default root password? or default user/password?

[opensuse] How can I reverse the order of a table in libreoffice?

It could be that this script is > missing or corrupt, or that grub2 itself was messed up by the update > (the script gets its boot device from grub2). thanks for the reply, I kinda figured ballpark as you wrote down, and also saw those scripts and roughly looked at them, still I wasnt exactly sure how grubmkconfig was populating that cfg file, as I said, when repairing the badly behaving 12.3 via usb key, it did show grub2 menu properly, and I managed to save that normally looking cfg file too, but during the early runtime there was that additional script executed which messed the cfg up again and reduced it to memtest as the only entry. so I was wondering if those grub2 scripts did look into the rpm database for kernel packages, or into the /boot/ path for kernel files or how that all worked, or why my entries got deleted :( also when I was first experimenting and hadnt figured out that my cfg had been reduced, I tried to mkinitrd and that wasnt outputting anything at all, so maybe it was some messed up rpm database or something? meanwhile I also figured that some rpm packages seem not to be listed in the rpm database any more. I am a long time squid user, and it is running in this apparently semi-fixed 12.3, but the rpm -aq doesnt list any squid packages at all. so maybe I am gonna take a look at packages and fore-reinstall packages that seem to be missing in the rpm database. is there a list of default (deployed via that images system during clean install?) list of packages that get installed on a clean current opensuse if I only click through the default buttons during clean install and dont select any additional stuff? how can I reinstall all default packages forcefully yet only write the binary files or something to the disk, but not kill my config files wherever it applies. maybe this whole dang system is messed up beyond fixability. sigh. thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.3 boot woes, vanishing everything except memtest, how does grub2 populate the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
by cagsm 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

12.3 boot woes, vanishing everything except memtest, how does grub2 populate the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg I wonder about how grub2 decides what to show in its bootmenu, as I am going insane for the past few hours. This previous 12.2 box was tried to be updated to 12.3 via remote (zypper dup) but the problems only started then. pretty simple setup, single /dev/sda disk, but sda1=swap, sda2=root, sda3=boot, sda5=usr, sda6=var I drove throughout half the country to get the dang thing fixed. Eventually I booted into rescue mode from a 12.3 usb key plugged into the machine. I updated the messed up box to the 12.3 vanilla from the key, it booted up fine after it fixed a small number of packages via the stick, mainly kernel and a few others. Later I rebooted the machine and to my surprise only the grub2 menu came up with the memtest entry, nothing else. I did this silly game a few times over and over, and eventually figured the first time it booted with the normally looking grub2 menu, inside the machine running, there was some task being executed (top) that was called /sbin/update-bootloader .... and the parameter I think was remove and then some string probably the menu string that was being displayed in the grub2. I verified this behavior, and it happens every time on this machine. Eventually I figured to quickly copy the still healthy grub2/grub.cfg file before that script or binary destroys it. But once that update-bootloader kicked in, even the grub2-mkconfig only put out a smallish config with memtest inside only. So then I fore-redownloaded and re-installed the kernel-desktop from the oss-update repo via network, and that gave me a healthy grub2/grub.cfg again. But this is insane. I never came across these weird things before. Before this whole mess I was actually using grub (v1) but that never came up going past the Grub > prompt after the initial zypper dup. Question is how do I clean up this messy machine, there are just too many places these days. /etc/grub.d/ etc/default/ /etc/sysconfig/ boot and bootloader and darn many places. But my main question at the moment is how does grub2 populate its menu or why does the vanilla kernel entry gets hosed and deleted by this obscure update-bootloader piece of software. ARGH. Thanks for helping out to understand all of this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
