[opensuse] Weird network issue
by Fred n Sandy 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

I haven't run across this before.... I have a LAN with a few linux boxes from os10.3 to os13.1. One of the 13.1 boxes can connect to the router, configure it, etc but any attempt to get outside of the network gives me a network not found error. i.e. I can ping the router but no outside addresses. All the other boxes work just fine. The only clue is the router's LAN device session log which shows between 45 and 66 open sessions. I looked at top and ps and don't see anything going on there, dmesg wasn't any help either. This box has worked just fine until a few days ago when I thought the Tenda USB wireless had quit. I finally got around to replacing it with an Asus USB device today and noticed the problem. I then started an evening-long exercise in futility trying to get the so-called linux driver working then, in frustration, I plugged in the "bad" Tenda unit and it lit up, it made connection to the router, but I cannot ping out, just like the problem with the Asus unit. So, what happened? I don't have a clue. The Asus unit is configured as a static IP on the LAN, the Tenda is set up with DHCP. Yes, I rebooted the box.

[opensuse] Weird network issue - solved
by Fred n Sandy 22 Dec '14

Such a simple thing ... but not understood. The routing table had no gateway entry but the Yast configuration clearly shows the gateway. I manually entered the default gateway and all started working ok. Now I have to determine why Yast wasn't doing its job.

Followup: When using the Asus usb wireless nic there are no open sessions in the router log. That all may be a red herring, so maybe it is nothing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Getting smart
by Hans Witvliet 22 Dec '14

Any good suggestions when looking for a smartphone? My daughter use to have a Sony Experia, and communicating to her laptop only works with some awkward Windows-tool. And I heard that Samsungs are not Linux-friendly either. Most important features is being able to the a phone as a storage device, for music, photo's and so on. All other features can be found in zillions test sites, but none can tell me how 'linux-compatible' a phone is.

Anyone have any success getting tribler installed on os13.1? Their website has instructions for a debian install, like on Ubuntu but I don't know how to take it from there to my system. http://forum.tribler.org/ Thanks, Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox displays my website incorrectly

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a website at http://brightonbelle.org/ which displays correctly on systems running Windows (various flavours), OSX, Android, and iOS, using browsers such as Chrome, Safari and Firefox.

Firefox is my default browser for everything else, so I'd like it to work in this instance as well. The website home page should display a Calendar above an Events List above a Facebook widget above a mailing list subscription box, all in the right hand column, but Firefox is just showing empty white space there.

[opensuse] Setting default backlight level on boot
by Stanislav Baiduzhyi 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

openSUSE 13.2, KDE4, ThinkPad T540p. I've tried couple of different ways to do it, none of them produced any result. First I've tried setting udev rule. During the boot I see the brightness dropping from 100% to value I've set, but in less than a second it is restored back to 100%. Then I tried systemd-backlight@.service. I don't know if I did it correctly, I symlinked it from /usr/lib/systemd to multiuser wants in etc, renaming to systemd-backlight@backlight:intel_video.service, to force it to use my backlight device. I've tried running the command manually, looks like it saves the level properly into /var/lib/systemd, but then after reboot saved value again appears to be 100%. Maybe on reboot, when KDE session is stopped then backlight is restored back to 100% right before systemd saves it? So, what is the correct way to force default backlight brightness level for openSUSE? -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Istvan Gabor 20 Dec '14

Hello: I had to replace my monitor. When I try to switch to a consoles desktop (vt1-6) eg by pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 the screen is blank and only a monitor message is shown: "Not optimum mode. Recommended mode: 1280x1024 60 Hz" The graphical desktop vt7 is OK. I have removed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and reloaded X but it did not solve the problem. How can I fix this?

[opensuse] disabling x temporaily
by Istvan Gabor 20 Dec '14

Hello: I would like to install nvidia graphics driver manually by running nvidia-install script. This can be done only if x is not running. I tried to turn off x temporarily in a vt by "init 3" which had no any effect. I also tried to turn off x by: systemctl stop graphical.target systemctl isolate graphical.target systemctl stop xdm.service systemctl isolate xdm.service None of the above had any effect on x window, they even haven't restarted x. I also killed Xorg, but x haven't stayed off, it restarted automatically. How can I turn off x temporarily? This is openSUSE 12.2 with systemd.
