[opensuse] Project management software question for project managers
by Ted Byers 29 May '24

29 May '24

I am looking for project management software I can install on my Suse box. Alas, there are quite a number of prducts that claim to be suitable project management products, but I am hoping to obtain a little help separating the wheat from the chaffe. Basically, when I open the project management software, I want to be able to choose from among a number of projects that are under way, and then see the relation between a client's wish list and the functional requirements specs, and then how these specs relate to the UML diagrams that have been created, and from there, what tasks have been defined for each requirement and the identity of all persons involved, the developers and their managers, and the person who designed the code that supports the requirement. And with that, I want to be able to see the project's timeline, the related bugs, &c. I would even want to be able to open the source code files and examine the code that was actually written. Here is my wish list: 1) a web application that stores data in either PostgreSQL or MySQL. 2) easy integration with UML tool (or has it's own UML tool that supports round trip engineering) 3) resource management (e.g. computers, and development tools, that can be used, personelle assigned to each task) 4) documentation of relation between functional requirements specs to specific tasks and specific unit and integration tests. 5) time/effort tracking 6) bug tracking, including data relating the existance of the bug, and effort required to fix it, to the person who wrote the original code, the person who supervised him or her, and the person who designed the 'feature' in question, the time taken to complete the original task, and the technologies used (to imprrove accountability as well as to determine retraining and continuing education needs (people aren't disposable, so instead of taking a harsh aproach to problems identified, I prefer to use education as a corrective, but I can't design corrective instruction without knowing precisely what the need is). I also need to know if a developer has a higher than normal bug rate simply because he doesn't take enough time to ensure the job is done right, or because I haven't adequately trained him, or because of a poor choice of tools, or somethng else that may be my fault. 7) use of task effort tracking history to generate provisional effort/cost estimates from new project's functional requirements 8) easy integration with open source ERP products like OFBiz (which may make trakcing resources and manpower easier, as well as connect real production data to the enterprise's accounting systems) 9) easy integration with CMS products, like Wordpress (especally for production documentation, includng degin documentation and user guides and reference manuals) 10) easy integration with verion control systems such as subversion. If there is a decent product that supports all of this, great (and language used to implement it doesn't matter), but if I have to write code to add missing requirements, then I am limited to those implemented using Perl or Java (and running on Tomcat). I don't know PHP well enough, and I don't know Ruby at all; and I really don't want to think about implementing this sort of thing in C++ (though I could if absolutely necessary). If you have project management experience, and use tools that are available for Suse Linux, what software product(s) did you use, and with what result? While I await relies, I will continue to review web documentation for those products I have found so far, to see if any of them are a) suitable for use in production and b) to see to what extent they support the features I am after. I have seen a number of products so far in my search, that deserve to be nameless, because they provide no way to relate cost estimates to one's team's track record, or to the details of the design, and seem satisfied with production of a pretty gantt chart (which is why I have formed the view that there is a whole lots of chaffe in the set of applications that call themselves project menement software - I have yet to find anything that really has the potential of being labelled wheat).

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

Unlike Farrugut's order at the Battle of Mobile Bay, going full-speed ahead is not going to achieve any useful objectives, yet the dangers of systemd are still there. For one, systemd is making APPLICATIONS now dependant on the systemd API, which means when even the biggest fanboys here, at Redhat, and other distributions finally are forced to admit that systemd is a crock of shit.... we won't be able to remove it.... in other words, unlike Farragut, the probability of eventually being blown out of the water by a systemd torpedo is 100%.

[opensuse] No sound in Minecraft
by Mike 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

I've asked on the minecraft forums without a response so I'm trying here in case that it might be a SuSE configuration issue. I do not have sound in the game. This has been a problem for several versions nowCurently running 1.7.5. I've also tried the last 2 snapshots. I can play music fine and was able to play the sound files in .mineraft/assets/objects/* via Amarok. I have deleted the assets folder and had re-downloaded everything. I looked in the bug list and I found a few sound related issues, but they suggested that there was some sounds. The log only mentions minecraft:mob.witch.idle, but there are no sounds at all in game, but in options everything is set to 100%. I tried to force an older version in profile editor but still no sound going back to 1.4.2. I see a java Playback Stream in the mixer and volume is 100% there too. Any ideas?

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.

[opensuse] 13.1 bootable USB stick
by Gustav Degreef 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hello, I am trying to create a bootable USB thumb drive. I downloaded the liveKDE64bit iso and followed the procedure outlined in the SDB. I did: Created 2 primary partitions on the drive, sdb1 - 10 Gb and sdb2 - 4 Gb, both ext4. as root ran dd if=/mnt/iso/openSUSE-13.1-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M The drive boots into a grub prompt only, but no menu appears. I reformatted sdb1 and tried again using virtually the sme command except using bs=1M and the process was finished ran "sync". This was suggested on another web page for suse 13.1. The result is the same, just a grub boot prompt. I could, at the prompt, set the root device, the kernel and the initrd and boot, but it is cumbersome to do it every time. Any pointers on how to get the normal boot menu (that is on the dvd) would be much appreciated.

[opensuse] Why is dovecot using user home directory?
by James Knott 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

All this past week, I have been trying to get dovecot to work properly. For some reason, it now wants to use the users home directory, instead of ~/mail. Dovecot.conf has the line mail_location = mbox:/mail. I have also tried with mail_location = mbox:/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs. Despite this, the home directory continues to be used, with all the files and directories (including hidden) appearing in the email client. Why is this happening now? I have set up dovecot several times in the past and never had this happen. Is this someone's idea of a "feature"?

It allows one or more fast storage devices such as flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs) to act as a cache for one or more slower hard disk drives, effectively creating hybrid volumes. It is designed around the performance characteristics of SSDs, minimizing write amplification by never performing random writes and by turning them into sequential writes instead – for both the cache and the primary storage. That helps in extending the lifetime of flash-based devices used as caches, and also improves performance of write-sensitive primary storages, like RAID 5. ······································++- Has some one tried it in openSUSE?

[opensuse] Why uuid its confusing
by Carl Spitzer 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

with all the talk against systemd which should be dumped or the distros forked to remove it I have another older problem uuid is a pain to use . the old way of /dev/* was easier to use and remember if you made a backup of this it would work on another drive whereas uuid ties you to one drive. cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda3 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hda7 /boot ext2 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hdb1 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0 is there a way back for 11.4 and 13.1??

[opensuse] libre office and staroffice
by jdd 04 Nov '14

Hello, I just had to recover very old course (2002) written with staroffice, just to notice libreoffice do not anymore convert these files. I'm a bit paranoid about backups, so I could find in my archives a staroffice binary :-). Linux one didn't run (lack of some library, may be solvable, but I didn't even tried), but windows versions run perfectly under wine :-). I can convert sdw files to doc and open these with libreoffice. but if I can open sda (draw) files, I don't find any way to export them to *vector* graphics and libreoffice do not open them. do you know any way to convert staroffice draw to libreoffice draw? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] oS on a tablet - has anyone tried it?

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] 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.

[opensuse] On resizeable file systems (was ... How to stop ....

On 10/27/2014 02:36 PM, Central Scrutinizer wrote: >> > > So now we're suposed to choose our filesystems on the basis of the init > system? You are not. I was proposing that if you wanted to dynamically resize a file system while the system is live and the file system in use then use one that had been designed for that. It has nothing to do with sysvinit or systemd. I was using ReiserFS and resizing the live file systems long before systemd was available. Ditto LVM. People here have been using other live resizeable file systems with sysvinit, some of those people have expressed a discontent with systemd, but that hasn't affected their choice of file system. The resizing of a live file system has nothing to do with the choice of init. Like ReiserFS, BtrrFs is a b-tree journalled file system and can manage online live resizing. You might also look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS#Online_resizing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NILFS#Supported_Features Live resizing of file systems existed and was practised long before the advent of Linux :-) If you take a look at the last column at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Features you'll see that with some qualification, even the extX file systems are live resizeable. RTFM RESIZE2FS(8) The qualification being <quote> If the filesystem is mounted, it can be used to expand the size of the mounted filesystem, assuming the kernel and the file system supports on-line resizing. </quote> YMMV. That's one reason I use ReiserFS. The other is never having to worry about the inode to data ratios. All these file systems existed before systemd. The ability to expand one of them has nothing to do with systemd. Having an system that automatically mounts according to a state definition table has nothing to do with systemd. If there is a 'bug" it is that people could arbitrarily alter the system configuration so that it was not in accord with what the system definition tables said it was. If, though human oversight (which is all to common and why we automate so much) they forgot to put it back, then things are screwed and there's no trail since they didn't update the configuration definition (or if you wish, description) tables.

Midnight commander also has problems: alt-enter to copy a file name to the command line, functions like F6 to rename a file... I also can not start a graphical app, like for instance, gkrellm, which I use in order to see on the client to check its current load status as I do things. Also the mouse does not work, like in the parent xterm with 'mc'. Are there workarounds? Other tools? My needs is simply to start a terminal session and do things that run in the server, watch them in the client, and that the session doesn't die when the client goes off.

[opensuse] System D: Debian Fork
by Sam M. 26 Oct '14

26 Oct '14

I came across this article below, and it looks like the System D implementation on Debian has caused a great deal of havoc and alienation amongst devs and admins, so a fork is potentially in the works. I was wondering if a similar interest is also present in the openSUSE community? Is openSUSE going to become one huge monolith where practically every package is dependent on each other, and, the user is forced into a corner? For instance, that atrocious Baloo virus that runs by default on a new KDE install will start indexing before you allowed it to, and can't be removed because it's dependent on so many things. Part of it can be removed (last I checked), but not the entire thing. If things are going to become one big monolith, which obviously is contrary to the Unix philosophy, why not just run Windows? It seems like more people than not don't like System D, and Lennart Poettering's attitude has been described as rude, egocentric and childish which doesn't help the case. PulseAudio was also developed by Pottering, and I don't like it at all as it's just one more broken piece of software on top of the already overly complex Linux sound stack. I've had problems with it, and it has provided me zero benefit. Anyway, I think the System D debate here should continue as not everybody here is swallowing the System D Kool-Aide. http://debianfork.org/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/21/unix_greybeards_threaten_debian_for… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Intermittent slowness on 13.1-64
by Lew Wolfgang 25 Oct '14

Hi Folks, Has anyone noticed an intermittent overall balkiness with 13.1-64? Has that issue with journald on spinning media been fixed yet? I've seen this a couple of times now, but haven't been able to zero in on the cause yet. I'm trying setting "Storage=volatile" in /etc/systemd/journal.conf to see if it makes a difference.

[opensuse] Error starting Wireshark via SSH
by James Knott 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

I frequently run Wireshark over SSH. One thing I've noticed is I'll often get an error: "# The program 'wireshark' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'. (Details: serial 251 error_code 10 request_code 130 minor_code 1) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)" Once I've received that message, I can then give the command again to start Wireshark and it runs fine. Any idea what might be causing this?

[opensuse] when is data physically written to disk (Reiserfs)?
by Daniel Bauer 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Hello I'd like to know when data that should be written is really written physically to the disk. I use OS 12.3, Reiserfs (with encrypted LV for /home, /root, /swap, on 1 drive and separate encrypted drive outside LVM) Several times after switching off without properly shutting down (after power fail) and rebooting I noticed that there were many systemd-fsck[720]: Trans replayed:... Trans replayed: mountid... even when the computer was not doing anything before the switch-off occurred. Like today: the computer was "on" during the night, but without doing anything, in the early morning the electricity was cut off and so I had to reboot and I got hundreds of "replay"-messages... I thought, data would be written to the disk physically and definitively at least in moments when the computer has nothing else to do, but how comes that after hours of being idle there still remains so much to replay? Is this normal? Should I check some settings? Thanks for explanation or hints...

I mean something that explains the basics, its mechanism etc, not only some short instructions if want achieve this type this or similar. I checked pulseaudio wiki web page (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/) but it is really lacking substantial information. Many of the links/pages are simply empty.

Why is it that when I move the slider to the left (decrease volume) there is no audible volume difference until a point, but after that point there is a dramatic volume decrease?

[opensuse] ld --as-needed -lgcc_s causing linker failure when called by gcc, OK standalone
by David C. Rankin 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

All, (ld linker gurus especially), I am befuddled by the behavior of gcc/ld in compiling/linking a couple of c/assembly files that I need help figuring out. The files are just a couple of the example files which I'm building as a 32-bit elf file on x86_64. For some reason when ld is called by gcc, the build fails. Calling ld standalone works fine. I need to understand what default behavior of the gcc/collect2/ld call is causing the problem and how I can fix it. I also have one other question at the end concerning why '-dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2' is expressly required if it is the default, but that is separate from this first issue. For the first issue, the assembly/c files are all contained in: [a whopping 3.7k total] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSuSE/131/pcasm.tar.bz2 I built the assembly files without issue using: $ nasm -felf -D ELF_TYPE -o asm_io.o asm_io.asm $ nasm -felf -o first.o first.asm Compiling the c file to object and performing an independent link produces a working executable (there is a 32/64 bit issue left, but irrelevant to this discussion): $ gcc -c -m32 -o main.o main.c $ ld -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 \ -o first first.o asm_io.o main.o \ -m elf_i386 -lc Attempting to compile/link with gcc is where the problem arises. If I replace the compile of main.c to object with a request that gcc perform the compile/link, the build fails: $ gcc -v -m32 -o first main.c first.o asm_io.o -Wl,-melf_i386 <snip> x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Now, the part I'm stumped with is why is the link failing? The full compiler output is at: [newlines provided for readability] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSuSE/131/pcasm/asm_io_main_build-alc… Looking at the final collect2 output, you see: COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS='-v' '-m32' '-o' 'first' '-mtune=generic' '-march=i586' /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/collect2 --build-id --eh-frame-hdr -m elf_i386 -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -o first <snip> showing the '-dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2' option is selected. So why does the link fail? Looking further, I see what appears like the likely suspects, but I am not familiar enough with the --as-needed --no-as-needed options to know if this is in fact the cause: <snip> -melf_i386 -lgcc --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed -lc -lgcc --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed <snip> The manual says: --as-needed --no-as-needed This option affects ELF DT_NEEDED tags for dynamic libraries mentioned on the command line after the --as-needed option. Normally the linker will add a DT_NEEDED tag for each dynamic library mentioned on the command line, regardless of whether the library is actually needed or not. --as-needed causes a DT_NEEDED tag to only be emitted for a library that at that point in the link satisfies a non-weak undefined symbol reference from a regular object file or, if the library is not found in the DT_NEEDED lists of other libraries, a non-weak undefined symbol reference from another dynamic library. Object files or libraries appearing on the command line after the library in question do not affect whether the library is seen as needed. This is similar to the rules for extraction of object files from archives. --no-as-needed restores the default behaviour. (https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Options.html#Options) This seems to indicate for -lgcc_s that a DT_NEEDED tag will only be emitted if -lgcc_s satisfies: (1.) a non-weak undefined symbol reference from a regular object file or (2.) a non-weak undefined symbol reference from another dynamic library Since, libgcc_s is not needed, what is causing either of the criteria (1.) or (2.) to be satisfied? Is it some default? More importantly, how to tell the linker not to look for it? Is there some additional option I can pass or rearrange the order of the gcc command that would help? Lastly, if '-dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2' is the default, then why must it be expressly included with the standalone ld call in order to produce a working executable? If it is omitted, the executable is produced, but inoperable due to /usr/lib/libc.so.1 being used instead of /lib/ld-linux.so.2 in the executable -- which I'm having difficulty understanding. Specifically, if linked with: $ ld -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 \ -o first first.o asm_io.o main.o \ -m elf_i386 -lc the executable works and contains the following explicit reference to /lib/ld-linux.so.2: $ hexdump -C -s 272 -n 32 first 00000110 01 00 00 00 2f 6c 69 62 2f 6c 64 2d 6c 69 6e 75 |..../lib/ld-linu| 00000120 78 2e 73 6f 2e 32 00 00 03 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 |x.so.2..........| However if linked using the following: $ ld -o first first.o asm_io.o main.o -m elf_i386 -lc /usr/lib/libc.so.1 takes its place and the executable fails: $ hexdump -C -s 272 -n 32 first.sav 00000110 01 00 00 00 2f 75 73 72 2f 6c 69 62 2f 6c 69 62 |..../usr/lib/lib| 00000120 63 2e 73 6f 2e 31 00 00 03 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 |c.so.1..........| The files are identical in all other respects: $ l first* -rwxr-xr-x 1 david david 8030 Oct 21 03:15 first -rwxr-xr-x 1 david david 8030 Oct 20 21:31 first.sav But one runs, one doesn't: $ ./first Enter a number: 10 Enter another number: 14 Register Dump # 1 EAX = 00000018 EBX = 00000018 ECX = F7796132 EDX = F778B650 ESI = FFF7240C EDI = 08048290 EBP = FFF723FC ESP = FFF723DC EIP = 080482C7 FLAGS = 0216 AF PF Memory Dump # 2 Address = 0804A044 0804A040 72 3A 20 00 59 6F 75 20 65 6E 74 65 72 65 64 20 "r: ?You entered " 0804A050 00 20 61 6E 64 20 00 2C 20 74 68 65 20 73 75 6D "? and ?, the sum" You entered 10 and 14, the sum of these is 24 $ ./first.sav bash: ./first.sav: No such file or directory Why does expressly including '-dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2' make that difference if it is the default? -- David C.

[opensuse] desktop dying after few seconds of switching on
by Peter 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Bit of a general PC repair question here, but it's one on which I was hoping to install openSUSE, and I can't even get past the first hurdle. An ex-friend-turned-trou-de-cul (French people are never your friends, only future enemies) donated me a P4 desktop which supposedly worked fine but upon switching on, it only lasts a few seconds before going off. So although I can access the BIOS, I cannot even get to make any configuration changes in time before it turns off. Of course I've done a first check for loose or wrong connections. My hunch is either the motherboard or PSU is at fault, but these are things I cannot test as I have no suitable alternatives available. I'm going to embark on a systematic process of elimination with some of the other parts, but does anybody want to throw a suggestion into the hat as to what is usually at fault in this situation? I'm not going to examine every part to provide detailed specs just yet, suffice to mention that it has integrated Intel 965 graphics, so it can't be that old 'unseated video card' chestnut.

[opensuse] A better way to do mouse keys.
by Anton Aylward 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

I have a Logitech MX510 USB mouse. It has a number of extra buttons as well as the scroll wheel, which also acts as the 'center' button. By default it works just fine with Linux. However not all the extra button do things. And some don't do what I want. I realise I can use xbindkeys, but that's another matter. My question is this: In front of and behind the scroll wheel there are buttons that have double chevrons. Pressing them scrolls the page. GOOD. I like that. But it only scrolls 4 lines at a time. How can I make these buttons scroll more than 4 lines? How/where is the 4 lines (I think its 4, it may be 3 or 5) defined? Can I change it without recompiling? There are also a couple of thumb buttons and a button that looks like this. http://png-2.findicons.com/files/icons/1890/my_toolbar/32/copy.png Currently they don't do anything. Except by using xbindkeys is there any way I can set them to do things? I'm aware of the too in systemsettings for KDE4 but it only seems to work with keyboard keys. Is there something one can do with udev for example? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bootalbe USB stick - OS 13.1
by Gustav Degreef 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hello, In a previous post on this topic I asked for help and was able to install OS 13.1 KDE on a usb stick. I am posting a small follow-up because of a very positive experience and I want to thank the developers. The USB stick was run on a new laptop which had win8.1 on it, I did that because I had to wait a month before I could sort out the UEFI issues and install it on the hard disk. I was able to fully update the packages on the USB stick and even to add packman repo and other repos to the software manager. Just to try it out, I eventually installed the opensuse on the laptop from the USB stick. It was incredible to me that the installed system on the laptop was fully updated! And I can continue to update the USB stick, run it on other computers, and if I need to install 13.1 on another computer, I can get a fully updated install right off the bat! I have experienced opensuse getting better and better in many respects, but I found this incredible. Thanks to all those who made this possible. Gustav. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] php upgrade to 5.3.x creates utf8 issue wrt mysql communication
by Per Jessen 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

I've recently had to upgrade PHP on a long-running server (openSUSE 11.0). Yes, there are reasons why this hasn't been upgraded. I upgraded PHP to 5.3.0 which at first seemed to work just fine. However, one of the few, rarely used, web-apps left on this box is now having an encoding issue wrt mysql data and I simply cannot find the right setting to tweak. Everything should be in UTF8 - apache outputs utf8 etc., but when the data comes from mysql - when fetched with e.g. mysqli_fetch_assoc() - UTF8 characters are interpreted literally instead of as UTF8. My php.ini has default_charset = "UTF-8" mbstring.internal_encoding = "UTF-8" The database is in utf8: mysql> show create database db_example; db_example | CREATE DATABASE `db_example` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci */ | The apache config has: AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 I've now moved this web-app to a 2nd apache server, also running php 5.3 - the issue remains the same. I've tried adding mysqli_set_charset() to the code, no effect. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Screen display corruption/touchpad weirdness after recent bunch of updates (nVidia binary driver)
by Andrei Borzenkov 19 Oct '14

19 Oct '14

I was off for two weeks and after return got a bunch of updates, including GNOME, Firefox and new nVidia driver. Now I get rather nasty problems in at least two areas (after reboot) - screen updates sometimes look like rapid blinking of part of window; and do not really redraw screen until I try to scroll window. I get it e.g. on forums.opensuse.org site, or in Firefox status bar (which is shown in the bottom when page is loading) or in Firefox tab titles. - in Claws mail scrolling with touchpad sometimes gets "stuck" - it continues to scroll even when I raise finger. Moreover, sometimes it scrolls *both* message list and message body. It almost looks like events get dispatched incorrectly.

[opensuse] What is this catastrophe that is the new Bugzilla?
by Peter 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

I wanted to file a bug report on the openSUSE Bugzilla. I've done a few before, and though the system was somewhat clunky and unintuitive, I could always navigate my way eventually to doing what was needed. Now I've logged in and tried to click the links to file a new bug, whereupon I get a heading and text at the top of the resulting page saying: Bugzilla – Select Classification Please select the classification. But then nowhere on the rest of the page do I see anything remotely related to selecting a classification. Looking for help, I clicked the link to the 'Bugzilla Upgrade Slidedeck' but decided I didn't want to wade through a 25-page PDF to learn how to file a two-minute bug report. The linked Help Page, and the Howto section about filing a report also bears no relevance to any options I get on the page when I try. I don't know if something isn't loading correctly or is missing from the page, or the new design is incredibly obtuse and mystifying. But consequently I cannot file my bug about a borked 13.2RC1 installation. Can't wait for the final release, it's going to be... unusable.

[opensuse] Nvidia Geforce GT 730M and Bumblebee
by Gustav Degreef 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hello, I am having trouble configuring X in a new Lenovo Thinkpad. Video Card is Nvidia GeForce GT 730M. The nouveau driver worked out of the box (OS 13.1, 64bit, KDE), but there were frequent crashes with Firefox. I installed the x11-video-nvidiaG02 package (from the Suse 13.1 Nvidia repos) and dependencies without success and then the G03 packages without success. I did blacklist nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist file and edited /etc/sysconfig system-kernel section as indicated in the SDB. The 730M chip is not listed in the SDB Nvidia-drivers page. Googling for my card I found several Ubuntu references to bumblebee being necessary to get the 730M card to work. The opensuse SBD nvidia-bumblebee page seems to indicate that bumblebee is for power management issues only. It indicates that they have been tested on 13.1 This page: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:Bumblebee-Project:nVidia:310.40 Shows my card as supported by the bumblebee packages. It also mentions an installer that will download the drivers from one of two nvidia sites. However: Index of /repositories/home:/Bumblebee-Project:/nVidia:/310.40 Lists only 12.3, factory, SLE_11(sp1 and sp2), tumbleweed directories - no 13.1. Is bumblebee the way to go? Which are the correct packages? If so, will the nvidia driver be updated automatically each time the kernel is updated (if the proper repo is enabled)? Any pointers would be much appreciated.

[opensuse] UEFI dual boot
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

Hi, seems I'm still very new to UEFI and currenty way of bootloading. I've got a machine with UEFI (but w/o secure boot) which currently only has 13.1 installed. Now I've added 13.2rc1 to another partition. (During installation the bootloader refused to do anything with EFI because of an architecture conflict for x86-64; confusing but not that relevant here.) So I've got 13.1 and 13.2 both installed now but normal boot up shows only the 13.1 boot entry still. Now I've checked grub2 config on 13.1 which does not contain 13.2 (even after a grub2-mkconfig run the os prober didn't find 13.2). Then I checked the grub2 config on the 13.2 partition and in that I see two boot entries (one for 13.2 and one for 13.1). So all I would need to do is make UEFI load grub2 from the 13.2 partition I guess but I fail to understand how to do that. Is that defined via efibootmgr in that strange string?

(I have GPT here obviously.) How to do that? Any input? Thanks, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ddrescue bottleneck on faulty drive
by Otto Rodusek 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

Hi ListMates, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum but hopefully someone will have an answer for me. I have a faulty 500Gb notebook disk that I want to clone and recover. I use ddrescue (with the -n option) to clone the faulty hdd to a new hdd. The problem is that based on the current stats, it will take days/weeks to complete the clone!!! I know that I have a faulty drive, I just want to clone the faulty drive unto a new drive, simply skip the faulty sectors (zero fill on the destination drive) and continue the clone - I don't want the system to keep retrying over and over to read the faulty sector - try once and die and set the destination sector zero-filled. Where there are no errors on the original drive the copy goes fast, but once it hits a bad sector it is painfully slow!!!! So where is the bottle neck? 1) ddrescue - according to the docs if one uses the -n option it wont bother to read or recover the faulty sectors on the faulty drive (I also tried -r1 - read/retry once) but to no avail. BTW I tried both read from beginning of disk as well as reading from back (-R), but alas to no avail as once it gets to the faulty sectors it becomes painfully slow. 2) is it a kernel parameter - ie how to turn of retrying to read the faulty sector n..times 3) is it a sata driver parameter - ie likewise how to turn of retrying to read the faulty sector n..times 4) or is it the firmware on the faulty hdd? (in that case I'm not sure there is a solution to turn of retrying faulty sectors or remapping them) I'm not sure there is a solution but if anyone knows any help would be most appreciated.

[opensuse] Right click menu disappeared

Hi, On this laptop I have three openSuse systems installed. I have 13.1 with KDE 4.13, another 13.1 with KDE Framework5, and finally 13.2 with KDE 4.14.1 installed. On both of the 13.1 systems, right clicking in any appropriate place will no longer bring up a menu list of actions. The 13.2 system right click still operates normally and brings up a menu of actions. All the touchpad configurations seem to be the same in all systems, and I haven't been able to find any settings to change to restore the right click menus in the two 13.1 systems. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this? Thanks, Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] updating 13.2 RC1 to final release
by Peter 11 Oct '14

I was thinking of throwing 13.2 RC1 on a redundant old laptop to test a couple of things. I'd be wanting to update it to the final release when it's ready. Can that be acheived merely by doing a zypper dup? This may be harking back to some dark age, but I recall in the past it wasn't always so straight-forward to update a beta or RC to the final release, and there was even advice against trying to go about it that way. Are there still any pitfalls to be aware of? Cheers, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I go to autocorrect, and I add an exception: Replace With Agosto agosto Useless. In options, I untick "Capitalize first letter of every sentence". Useless. I disable "Use replacement table". Useless. What else is left? Where else does it get the order to replace what *I* write with something else? I create a new sheet. I start in a column writing: agosto enero Agosto agosto <--- here it corrects me to Agosto. It refuses to accept lowercase, till I copy paste the first cell into the 4th. agosto on subsequent cells, it forces using the same case as the previous one. Why? Now it insists on using "agosto". Where can I disable that silly, stupid behaviour?

[opensuse] old problem again: time stamps of file on sdcard vfat filesystem
by Istvan Gabor 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Hello: This is an old problem but I still have no key how to solve it. I have an sdcard used in a digital camera. Photos were taken in February. I want to copy the files from there to my openSUSE 12.2 desktop computer. I also want the files to have local time stamps corresponding to the original time stamp on the vfat filesystem. For example if the picture was taken (according to creation time in the file's metainfo) at 10:30, I want 10:30 to be the file's time stamp after mounting the sdcard. Currently the file's time stamp is 09:30 if I don't use tz option for the mount command. If I use tz=UTC option the file's time stamp is 11:30. Neither of these is correct. I tried yo use other values for tz, utz=CET, tz=UTC+1 etc but they were not accepted. It is really important to have the correct time stamps, so how can I?

[opensuse] Missing Mime handler for application/x-gzip
by Lance Drager 08 Oct '14

Hi guys, I'm trying to play a flash video ( .flv), but none of the players in opensuse work. Some complain that they are looking for the decoder for "application/x-gzip" This ought to be easy to provide, but I'm not sure what they want for a program to handle this. Any thoughts on getting this to work? Thanks. Lance Drager

[opensuse] php extension build config

07 Oct '14

I'm trying to move some php code from an opensuse 11.1 system to a 13.1 ditto, and I need to rebuild the mailparse extension. This normally entails downloading the extension, running phpize, configure then make.

[opensuse] SuSE 13.1: kernel panic at boot time
by Peter Maffter 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hello, I just updated my laptop from OpenSuSE 12.1 to 13.1. Now the system has a kernel panic from time to time when booting. On the older SuSE systems I was using the boot.omsg for such issues, but I am not an expert for systemd. I now know journalctl /usr/lib/systemd/systemd -b but this does not show the previous crashed boot. journalctl /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --boot=-1 failed. How can I log the boot process to see a complete systemd crash log?

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 13.1: "System policies prevent you from getting the brightness level"
by Peter Maffter 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

After setting my security settings to a more secure setting in yast2 I suddenly get a message "System policies prevent you from getting the brightness level as soon as the brightness is adjusted automatically or via keys on the laptop. All this under KDE4 and on the laptop that I updated from 12.1 to 13.1 lately. SuSE updates are from October 3rd, 2014. This was not the case before when using less secure settings. I've seen Bug 269310 - Senseless "System policies prevent you from getting the brightness level" dialog https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269310 but this is from 2014-01-07 and says "This is still a problem w/ openSUSE 13.1 and KDE 4.11.4." Are there any better news about this bug? Do I have to change some policy settings or file attributes?

[opensuse] Bash shell text entry problem
by Thomas Taylor 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

I'm having a problem attempting to enter the character "C" (shift-c) in a bash shell. When I enter that character alone or in a string, it doesn't appear on the display. I've saved a file containing the string I entered but it isn't among what was saved. This even occurs when copying a string from a listing. I've searched all the global and standard shortcuts but haven't found anything related. I've probably pressed the "c" key by mistake at some time in the past but don't know where to look further. This apparently has something to do with the user profile as it doesn't occur with another user. I've checked my custom .bashrc in my profile but can't find anything there. I know I could create a new profile for myself but hate doing that as I have it heavily customized. Can anyone recommend what files to look at in the current profile that affect bash shell?

[opensuse] Toshiba ACPI
by Paul Groves 05 Oct '14

05 Oct '14

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-29x which I have just upgraded to opensuse 13.1 from Windows 7. I am experiencing a few issues which as far as I can tell may possibly be ACPI related but I am no expert. The first issue is with the Fn + F1 etc hotkeys and the lid close action. They do not work most of the time. The buttons are not even detected by opensuse. Although 1 in 10 boots (roughly) they decide to work perfectly fine (including the lid close). My brightness settings etc work fine by changing them manually in the OS so this is just the keyboard hotkeys and lid close button. These have always worked fine in Windows. The second issue is that unless the buttons are working the fan can sometimes be really loud. When the buttons and lid are working then the fan is fine and runs just as it always has done in windows. Apart from these issues opensuse 13.1 runs perfectly on this laptop. Can anyone help me with these issues? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, Since yesterday (after an update), I have experimented twice the same problem, on return from hibernation. XFS fails completely, lots of kernel messages. System has to be restarted, recovery is impossible otherwise. It seems to affect one partition only (?), the one that has my home, on xfs. I booted the 13.1 XFCE rescue image, tried to xfs-repair that one. It complained that there was a log, that I should attempt to mount it first. Mount hung. It is unkillable. Reboot of system hung. smartctl -a gives no hint of problem. The hard disk is new (190 hours). I run "xfs_repair -L" on that disk, which succeeds with no error report. I'm at the moment running the long SMART test on that disk. It will take 226 minutes.

[opensuse] Loosing tabs in firefox
by Anton Aylward 05 Oct '14

05 Oct '14

I'm running FF 32.0.2 on suse 13.1 under KDE. All up to date. Previously I've made great use of tab groups so that I can categorise and keep to work/subject areas and not drown in tabs. But this last update seems to have screwed all that. First, I found that while the tab groups existed they were all empty and all the tabs had been moved to the 'main' group. So I moved them back. But after restarts I've found that they first moved back to 'main' and are now disappearing. Starting this morning I find that not only all those tabs in tab groups aren't there in the tab groups any more but the groups don't exist any more. Yes I use the Tab Group Helper and Tab Mix Plus. I've been using the latter for years and the former since it came out, no problems until this last upgrade. Is this a 'roll back' problem or what? I see this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1003915 and yes I've tried fiddling with sessionstore.* but it doesn't help, it keeps happening.

[opensuse] a broad appeal to fix opensuse's package-management's repository/redirector failure & recovery mechasnism
by grantksupport＠operamail.com 04 Oct '14

04 Oct '14

In my experience, package management's routine failure to find/use a 'healthy' repository is a long-standing production problem. I'm requesting a fix. Here's a summary: I run Opensuse 13.1 on numerous machines lsb_release -rd Description: openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64) Release: 13.1 Current count is ~200. The machines are installed at multiple locations around the globe. They're connected to the 'net via a variety of different networks providers. Some of the machines are directly connected to the 'net, some are behind LAN routers, switches & firewalls. Package management for all of the machines is handled exclusively via zypper cli. Each machine has a common core of repositories defined in /etc/zypp/repos.d, and frequently has a number of additional @openSUSE dev (!'home') repos defined. In ALL cases, the default install of repos sets have been installed with the meta-director as baseurl, baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/... Regular package maintenance consists of zypper clean --all zypper (d)up The maintenance frequency is nominally 1/wk, often 1/dy, and in devs' cases, often more frequent. In virtually ALL cases, the update process regularly fails @ retrieving/refreshing the repos' (meta)data. For example, a typical result is: ... Checking whether to refresh metadata for KDE4-Extra-Unstable Retrieving: repomd.xml .......................................................................................[error] File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Extra/KDE_Current_…' Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/? shows all options] (a): ... This occurs occassionally for any/all repos, whether the standard distribution repos (security, update, etc), core DM (e.g. KDE*) additional repos, or the more 'esoteric' !home OBS-hosted repos (e.g., security:netfilter). The failure rate for overall update/upgrade process attempts is, very roughly, ~15%. The error is NON-recoverable. 'Abort' & 'retry' *never* work. Chats @ IRC re: the issue typically result in the same '(non)responses' : "wait", "works for me", "prove it", etc. The ONLY solution(s) that work are: (1) wait some random amount of time -- typically hours, occassionally days -- until the system magically heals itself, (2) visit the download.opensuse.org link for the repo, click 'details' for a target page, identify a specific working/available repo for the package(s) of interest, and manually edit baseurl= for the problematic repo. Neither is tenable for a reliable operating environment. It is simply unmanageable in either a single, local or widely-distributed environment. (2) is further confounded by the fact that, at any given time, a previously-working, manually-selected repo may, itself, fail, requiring -- yet again -- another manual intervention. Within the scope of our environment, no other distro's package management system has anywhere near the failure rate demonstrated here. (We've ~600+ other machines running a mix of Centos, Fedora, Debian & Ubuntu). This has been occurring for literally years, across multiple openSUSE versions, and remains unaddressed. I know, without any doubt, that others experience similar/frequent failures -- it's been a frequent discussion with our partners, as well as in openSUSE* IRC channels. This needs a fix. As to what, specifically, that fix can/should be -- I'm unclear. If a solution already exists, I'm unaware. One idea -- a fallback mechanism *within* a repos' definition would be useful For example, allow in a given repo's def'n, having multiple, numbered baseurls baseurl1=http://direct/url/to/specific/site/1/... baseurl2=http://direct/url/to/specific/site/2/... baseurl3=http://download.opensuse.org/... ... baseurlN=http://direct/url/to/specific/site/3/... and add fuction to zypper so that for each repo, the baseurls would be tried in order for any given failure. By adding, e.g., a failcount2abort=X to either/both a given repo's defn, or /etc/zypp(er).conf, the overall process could be terminated if there were "X" # of subsequent fails, indicating a likely systemic problem requiring further intervention. I'd appreciate hearing from "those responsible for keeping the redirector & repos working" re: * acknowledgement, or refusal thereof, of the failure issue * clarification as to why it occurs in the first place * ideas/suggestions as to what can/should be done to fix it Thanks.

[opensuse] Linux and multicast
by James Knott 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

As an experiment, I tried pinging 224.0.0.1, which is the all hosts multicast address, which all hosts are supposed to respond to. When I do that, I only get a response from my Yamaha A/V receiver. Other devices, including computers running Linux and Windows 7 do not respond. I get the same results if I ping the local network broadcast address, only the A/V receiver responds. Given that all devices are supposed to respond, does anyone know why Linux or other devices don't? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

My question is why only the one device responds to the mulitcast, local broadcast or broadcast addresses. In IPv4, 224.0.0.1 is an address all devices should respond to. Why are they not? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

That's why IPv6 uses multicasts to groups such as all hosts, all routers etc., in addition to things like multimedia streams, which actually reduce bandwidth by not having to duplicate the stream to all listening devices. While multicasts are used on IPv4, they weren't used to their potential as multicasts were an afterthough, replacing the old class D address block. On the otherhand, multicasts are an integral part of IPv6 operation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

That appears to do it for multicasts, broadcasts and multicasts. However, broadcasts from outside the network should be blocked by the routers to prevent that attack. But multicasts and local broadcasts should still work, as happens with my A/V receiver. Is perhaps that setting a bit too agressive in blocking multicasts and local broadcasts, in addition to broadcasts? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] outgoing tcp connections are limited to 200 kb/s, how to fix?
by Robin Roth 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Dear all, since a reboot about two weeks ago, on a server I use, all outgoing tcp connections are limited to about 200 kb/s. Incoming tcp and udp both ways is fine (1 GB/s) and also when using multiple connections simultaneously higher bandwidths can be reached. The server is running 12.3. The problem appears with apache, but also when testing with iperf. There is only one switch in between my machine and the server and switching the port with other machines doesn't help. Things I already tried: - disabling susefirewall, completely empty iptables - check tc (shows no entries) - playing around with tcp buffers, like discussed at https://fasterdata.es.net/host-tuning/linux/ - reboot :) Do you have any suggestions what could be the problem? Thanks, Robin

According to this wiki ( https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen ) 11.4 ended support this July. If 11.4 is still active then can we use the 11.4 repo on 11.2 or should we try and compile bash from source Thanks Doug -- Thanks Douglas Charles Duckworth Unix Administrator Tulane University Technology Services 1555 Poydras Ave NOLA -- 70112 E: duckd(a)tulane.edu O: 504-988-9341 F: 504-988-8505 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can't start NFS server 13.1
by James Knott 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

I'm trying to set up a NFS server on 13.1. I have tried both with and without NFSv4 support. If I try with, Yast complains it can't start idmapd and if I try without NFSv4, it complains it can't stop idmapd. So, I guess Schrödinger's cat is playing with my computer. Idmapd is both running and not running at the same time. I don't see where it's enabled. I've checked both Network Services and Services Manager. How do I get the NFS server to run? Do I have to uninstall nfsidmap? Or is this another systemd "feature"? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] printing problem with brother laser
by jdd 01 Oct '14

01 Oct '14

Hello, I have problems to print on a laser printer brother 7055w The driver is the openSUSE one. the problem is to print in landscape mode. For example a landscape document in libreoffice is printed in portrait mode, with the right size, so only partly printed. same for pdf documents. I tried acroread, ocular, same thing, BUT kpdf prints absolutely OK!! so I guess the problem is not in the driver? of course, I know of the pronter options, but none is acjnowledged, the print is the sama, whta ever setup is done for the printer any idea? I can use kpdf for pdf's, but from libreoffice its boring to print only from pdf :-( thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
