[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] apper problem on 13.1 32-bit
by Mark Hounschell 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

A couple of weeks ago I started seeing a little red box with a white X in it on my kde panel. When I hover the mouse over it it reads: file:///usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.packagekit.updater/contents/ui/main.qml:22:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module "org.kde.apper": Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/imports/org/kde/apper/libapperplugin.so (libapper.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) When, as root, I run apper I get: # apper apper(3886): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." apper(3885): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly. When, as user, I run apper I get a graphical box that says: Cannot load library /use/lib/kde4/kcm_apper.so: (libapper.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_apper.so: (libapper.so: cannot open shared object file: Nosuch file or directory) Possible reasons: *An error occured during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module *You have old third party modules lying around. I can still get updates with yast but it would be nice to have apper working again. I have removed and reinstalled apper and all the above files seem to be present.

[opensuse] About Flash problem
by Fred n Sandy 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

re: Flash buffer overflow/malicious code execution exploit: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0515 One of my systems runs OS 11.2 and there is no Flash patch available, so it is definitely vulnerable to this exploit BUT on it I use flashblock in Firefox and have the Flash plugin disabled in Opera. My thinking is that if Flash is not running, then no exploit. Is that correct or am I missing something?

[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

[opensuse] XFS filesystem total failure on return from hibernation.
by Carlos E. R. 05 Oct '14

05 Oct '14

-----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. This is the first report of error in the log: I will put a more complete version of the log in another post. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[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. More to the point, it wasn't doing this on Wednesday! -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
