[opensuse] vnc to KDE4 desktop disregards geometry
by Istvan Gabor 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hello: I use vnc frequently. I usually start a vnc desktop on the far host machine running: vncserver -geometry 1024-x768 -depth 24 :1 and access this desktop by running on the client machine: vncviewer :1 This has been working for ages in openSUSE with KDE3. Recently I tried to vnc onto a KDE4 desktop, and while logging in the desktop works, it disregards geometry and creates a larger screen than what is set by the -geometry option, a screen which does not fit on my client's monitor. This is openSUSE 13.2 with vnc version: Xvnc TigerVNC 1.3.0 How can I resolve this?

[opensuse] Not able to open the Chromium-browser
by Arup Rakshit 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hi, Since I am not being able to open the Chromium-browser in my SUSE 13.1 machine. I'm double clicking in the desktop icon, and I am seeing it is trying to open as one icon is running in my task bar. After 20-30 seconds it is finally getting closed. Can anyone tell me what could be the issue and how to solve it ? -- ================ Regards, Arup Rakshit ================ Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian Kernighan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grub2 --> Grub2-EFI ???
by Radule Soskic 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hello list, I installed opensuse 13.2 64bit on a UEFI machine (HP Compaq 6200 Pro SFF PC). Installation went fine but I obviously missed something, because now I can boot only if I choose F9 menu (boot order) and then go for "legacy boot options" (boot from SATA0). If I try to boot automaticaly it hangs at grub rescue prompt, after reporting an error about unknown filesystem. There is no option to permanently change the boot priority from efi to legacy in BIOS (EFI) setup on this machine. So I'm stuck to make manual choice of legacy boot on every (re)boot -- F9 menu etc. Not nice. My previous installation (opensuse 12.3) on this computer worked without any problems. Actualy it was so smooth that I even did not notice the fact that comp had UEFI instead of BIOS. Now I am considering to try boot loader module in Yast2. I see there is an option to install "Grub2-EFI" (Now it's "Grub2" in there). Would you recommend me to do so? Is it safe? If not what could be the best option? Best regards, Radule

[opensuse] Google Earth browser plugin
by Roger Oberholtzer 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Funny that I am just noticing this, but has Google stopped supplying the Earth plugin for Linux? Or am I remembering incorrectly and there never was one? I do tend to use the program as it allows larger files than the plugin. But I will be enhancing some software that we have that generates KML files and was wanting to explore the KML samples at https://kml-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/interactive/index.html and saw the message. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Blocking all traffic if vpn connection fails
by Stanislav Baiduzhyi 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Using openvpn service, what is the best way to block all traffic other than VPN? I've been looking at iptables, routes and eth0 vs tun0 devices, but I'm so far away from network stack, I'm either breaking the internet completely or still some traffic goes directly, either right away or after vpn connection failure. For some reason I had more luck setting up DD-WRT than full linux box. My goal is, provide openvpn with '--up' script that will set the machine to have either VPN or nothing. Even if changes can be reverted only by reboot, that's fine with me. -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Sound starts dimmed after startup, "kcmshell 4 kcm_phonon" launch needed to restore full sound
by Guy Zelck 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

Hi all, I'm running Opensuse 13.1 and my sound configuration is generally OK, but it starts dimmed after booting up. Let me explain ... I'm allways listening to a radio station via a radiocard and kradio4, and after booting up I can hear the radiostation playing, but the sound does not have it's full glory, like if you're missing trebble and bass and what not ... To restore the sound to its full crispness, I need to launch "kcmshell4 kcm_phonon" (or right click kmix and choose sound configuration). What happens then is that I hear a crack and the radio looses its tuned station. But when I restore the station, the sound suddenly has its full clearness en volume. I do not have to tweak any volumes or anything else. Probably the module kcm_phonon triggers sth but what is impossible for me to tell. There are no new processes spawned at all. And using "amixer" I see no difference before and after the action. I must add that I have an Abit 5.1 surround system attached to my sound card (HDA Intel on Asus MB). The radio card's output goes into the line-in of the sound card. I've been using this setup for years and e.g., in my previous Opensuse 11.4, I never had to do anything to make it work as it is supposed to. Anyone with a similar experience and a solution?

[opensuse] Question about version numbers (flash-player)
by listreader 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

Howdy... Last night I patched/upgraded flash-player from build.opensuse.org/multimedia. The version stamp on it was 11.2.202.425-160.1. Today the official opensuse patch/upgrade was released with version number 11.2.202.425-2.17.1, which is lower than the one I got from obs. The question I have is solely for my knowledge and not to solve any problem. Question: in opensuse, how is the versioning of such unofficial releases as the one in multimedia determined? How did the packager come up with 425-160.1 as the version number for his build? Thanks.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-ID: <alpine.LSU.2.11.1412132151391.5948(a)Telcontar.valinor> Hi, In machine A (32 bit), I start "tmux new" in an xfce terminal.

[opensuse] Can't use SR-IOV on openSUSE 13.2
by Ryo Murakawa 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

Hi All I have been using SLES11SP3 server, openSUSE 13.1 and 13.2 server. There 3 server have VT-d function and Intel 82576 or Intel I350T2 NIC. Today I tried to set up SR-IOV on openSUSE 13.2. The steps are below: 1. Add kernel option "intel_iommu=on pci=asign-busses" on boot loader with yast. 2. create the file /etc/modprobe.d/50-igb.conf. The content is below. options igb max_vfs=7 options loop max_loop=128 blacklist igbvf 3. create the file /etc/modules-load.d/igb.conf. The content is below. igb 4. Reboot. 5. check the lspci | grep "Ethe" and the output is below 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) 01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) 02:10.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:10.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:10.2 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:10.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:10.4 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:10.5 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:10.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:10.7 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:11.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:11.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:11.2 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:11.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:11.4 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 02:11.5 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Virtual Function (rev 01) 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) So I added this vif "02:10:0" to Virtual machine, that OS is sles12. And start this vm. But the error is displayed below. error: Failed to start domain sles12 error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2014-12-13T13:08:34.908734Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=02:10.1,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3: vfio: error, group 1 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver. 2014-12-13T13:08:34.908766Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=02:10.1,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3: vfio: failed to get group 1 2014-12-13T13:08:34.908781Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=02:10.1,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3: Device initialization failed. 2014-12-13T13:08:34.908796Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=02:10.1,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3: Device 'vfio-pci' could not be initialized So I changed the file /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf for the 3 parameter below: user=root group=rootclear_emulator_capabilities = 0 But nothing changed. But for SLES11SP3 and openSUSE 13.1 I can use SR-IOV for VM. So could you tell me the workaround for this problem? Cheers.
