[opensuse] Lag Problem
by Robert Rea 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

I am seeing periods of lag, usually one to two seconds, but up to ten seconds. This makes loading pages into Firefox very slow and difficult. where would you suggest I look for causes, and what tools to use? I am unfamiliar with this kinds of applications. -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery America, it was a wonderful country until they took it private and turned it into a theme park of itself -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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.

With the upgrade pidgin is pinning my cpu now and not showing on the screen. I moved the old ./.purple directory to ./.purple.bak and started it up againm and it worked fine. But I lost all my logs and even some of the accounts i had. I forgot their names and passwords :) Why is it racing?

[opensuse] [13.1] exclude/ban module from initrd
by Felix Miata 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

This is easy with 13.2's dracut. /etc/dracut.conf is reasonably self-explanatory. How is $SUBJECT done with mkinitrd? Man /etc/sysconfig/kernel says nothing about it. *buntu has a mkinitrd.conf file I can't find in 13.1. Man /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf says nothing useful. Googling hits are mostly about either getting something into it, or about patches or changelogs, not keeping something out. :-( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] No sound in 13.2
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Hi, I've got some Haswell onboard sound in my machine which works fine with 13.1 but whatever I try with YaST2 in 13.2rc1 I get no sound working at all. It seems to set up the "card" with snd-hda-intel (or what the actual name is) but I cannot hear anything. YaST2 does not even give me volume sliders. Any known issues there?

[opensuse] How to stop automatic mounting of USB drives

Hi, I wish to stop users from mounting USB drives without authorisation. System: openSUSE 13.1 KDE 4.14.1 I believe the settings are in the polkit files but unsure of the actual file or the structure of the commands required. -- Thanks, Graham Smith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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? Boot0000* openSUSE HD(1,800,4e000,7e36557b-6396-4f70-9287-7d7b8e00c927)File(\EFI\opensuse\grubx64.efi) or is grubx64.efi just loading some magically marked partition like the boot flag in MBR? (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
