[opensuse] openSUSE 13.1 mountd failure
by Roger Oberholtzer 31 Oct '14

I am trying to start the NFS server in an openSUSE 13.1 install. I get the following: Oct 30 13:57:56 linux systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Start the kernel based NFS daemon... -- Subject: Unit nfsserver.service has begun with start-up -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel -- -- Unit nfsserver.service has begun starting up.

[opensuse] oS on a tablet - has anyone tried it?
by "Albert, Oszkó" 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Hi all, I've been thinking for a while on buying a not too expenxsive tablet - 200-300 $ - and putting some linux on it. Android is not my friend. I have a Samsung Galay Tab 2 which works fine, but Android could not get close to my heart. I came accross this article http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/install-linux-on-y… It says that oS may be a fine distro with the tablet PC pattern. Newer distros may even be better. Did anyone of you tried oS with any kind of tablet? What are the experiences? Best regards, Albert

[opensuse] Getting ready for 13.2 - A little help?
by John Andersen 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

I've been holding back with 12.3 (and quite happy with it), but don't want to fall too far behind, and am planning to once again disrupt life I know it with 13.2 on my principal workstation. (all properly backed up and stuff). If 12.3 wasn't going to fall off support, I wouldn't be doing this at all. 12.3 was THAT good! So now the big question: When it all goes live next month..... Regular 13.2 -or- Tumbleweed(new)? Which gives me the best chance of not fighting broken stuff and being reasonably current for the longest time? I tend to keep up with updates, running apper and at least once a week checking yast mostly for the KDE and Xorg updates. (I generally know how to stay out of trouble in this area and avoid breaking my system). What would you guys recommend? Also If you have an opinion: Why would anyone install 13.2 and face an upgrade every X months, when they could just as well run the new Tumbleweed? With a an officially supported rolling release (finally) what is the point of the numbered releases going forward? -- _____________________________________ ---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] extraneous apostrophe in grub config?
by Peter 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

I know we're apparently being naughty if we mention 13.2RC1 in here, but I have a question that would apply equally to 13.1 anyway. What is wrong in the following grub.cfg line? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" resume=/dev/sda6 splash=silent quiet elevator='missing showopts" I removed the apostrophe after the elevator= part, and got the system to boot, although it threw some error message about missing showopts which I overrided by pressing a key. I don't know if there should be a closing apostrophe before the quote mark or some other fix. This was a result of me just doing an install of 13.2RC1 on an old laptop, but it was horked when configuring grub2 with some error message 'opensuse grub unexpected eof while looking for matching...' - I didn't note down the rest. So the above was the default line placed in the grub config, which doesn't seem correct, and the machine wouldn't boot at all without going through the rescue system and fixing it. I've not found anything specifically relating to this when Googling, but from bits and pieces of vaguely related errors and bugs in previous and other distros, I tracked it down to that file. So I could file a bug report, but I wonder how the grub line actually should read?

[opensuse] running without X

How can I set the system up, (13.1) so that it starts up without X11 and then start it by hand when I need to. I tried to do this but the changes to X11 make it very difficult.

[opensuse] file browsing (dolphin and konqueror) hangs for 2 min periodically
by Carlos F. Lange 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

I have a 13.1 installation with KDE that is showing some annoying behaviour. Every 10 minutes or so dolphin just hangs for approx. 2 minutes and does not do anything. The entire window freezes and jsut buffers every click I do. There is no process keeping it busy and no indication what it is waiting for. When the freeze happens, all instances of dolphin and of konqueror (as file browser) also freeze. When the freeze passes, everything works fine and fast. I have no clue what to look for. What could be causing it? -- Carlos F Lange Gaúcho nas Pradarias http://goo.gl/fvVhr -- Recursive: Adj.

by c. marlow 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

I have been having the DICKENS trying to get the iso check to pass. I have tried 2 usb stick's and 3 or 4 downloads all different ways. When I burn the ISO using SUSE image burning software or the alternitive IMAGE USB this is what happens. As you see the the sum check passes http://i886.photobucket.com/albums/ac69/CMAR606/OPEN%20SUSE%20Mail%20Group/… but this is what happens when I reboot and run the check. http://i886.photobucket.com/albums/ac69/CMAR606/OPEN%20SUSE%20Mail%20Group/… I have direct downloaded it, Bit Torrented from the suse site... What gives? Thanks! Wishing all of the best to you! Thanks! Christopher chris(a)marlows.org --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

If you read what I wrote you'd see that the issue wasn't the disk. As it happens the file systems are referred to by label and not SSID.
