[opensuse] lxde window border
by lynn 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

13.2 with the lxde repository Is there anything like in windows where you have a big area at bottom right of each window where you can grab and resize? Out of the box, it's difficult to pick up the narrow window border anywhere. Or maybe have a thicker border...

[opensuse] crash problem with 13.2
by jdd 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

Hello, I have a serious problem with my 13.2 install. In short it crashes approx twice a day. Hardcrash. Suddenly no more keyboard nor mouse. sometime, after a long wait (very long, it happenned twice and I was no more in front of the computer, it reboots or unconnect, anyway I find the computer sitting on the login prompt. I don't see anything in the system logs I have this from the beginning (a week or more), never had it with 13.1. What's new apart the 13.2 is the use of a new 256Gb Kingston ssd devoted at the 13.2 install and sitted on an external esata dock (I have the dock since more than two years with no problem). What can I do to track the problem? it do not come at any special time, but randomly. thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1: AMD A10-7850K APU with Radeon(TM) R7 Graphics working for anyone?
by Felix Miata 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

13.1 is selected over 13.2 due, among other reasons, to anticipated longer support via Evergreen. Its owner is a longstanding openSUSE user who is nearly blind, and highly appreciates minimal upgrade frequency. Installation attempts, with or without nomodeset on cmdline, halted early, following: ... Initializing virtual console Found a Linux console terminal on /dev/console (160 columns x 64 lines). I found https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/495206-openSUSE13-1-x86_64-canno… that seems to have been on point but without resolution. I without success looked for something on point in Bugzilla and relnotes. So I put a Radeon PCIe card in it and did a "Minimal X" installation. That installation succeeded to get a working X. Then I removed the PCIe card and tried again. That produced segfault initializing graphical.target. I did zypper up except for (locked) kernel, then installed kernel-desktop-3.12.32 from home:/mkubecek:/evergreen-13.1/openSUSE_13.1/. Attempting to boot 3.12.32 stops at "[ 1.7yada] fb: switching to radeondrmfb from VESA VGA". Updates didn't improve 3.11.4. This is a new motherboard/CPU/RAM/HD. I tried booting the old HD's 12.2. 3.4.11 boots, and KDE4 runs in FBDEV. 11.3's 2.6.34 boots, and KDE3 runs in FBDEV. Last, I installed 13.2 minimal X, and it runs IceWM using radeon driver. I perused: https://en.opensuse.org/AMD https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Radeon https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMD_fglrx But I spotted no indication whether this video configuration requires a proprietary driver to work in 13.1. Any suggestions how to make 13.1 work acceptably? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse] installer doesn't see partitions
by Glenn Holmer 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

I've got a test machine with lots of partitions on which I install operating systems for exploration. But when I try to install openSUSE 13.2, the installer's partitioner tells me there are no partitions on /dev/sda (when in fact, there are almost 30). I've successfully installed Fedora, CentOS, several spins of Ubuntu, and some other Linux distros, as well as Haiku, Plan 9, OpenIndiana, and FreeBSD. openSUSE was one of the first I tried, so I don't think the problem is the existing operating systems. This is something I haven't seen before, and I've been doing this for a long time. The machine is set up with MSDOS-style partitions (not GPT); I recently rebuilt it from scratch to make sure the partition alignment was OK.

[opensuse] Latest oS Firefox update changes default search provider to Yahoo?
by Christopher Myers 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hi all, I've noticed on a couple of different machines the last few days, running oS 12.3 and 13.1, that following the most recent round of updates (which included one for Firefox,) the next time I loaded the browser, my default search engine was now Yahoo? It's no problem to change it back, but I was just curious if there was a reason behind it?

[opensuse] Can't suspend (hibernate) anymore when a second user (root) is still logged in
by Aaron Digulla 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hello, A change from earlier this year made suspend (hibernate) fail with "Permission denied" when I have a root terminal open (i.e. I'm logged in with KDE as a normal user and I did a "ssh root@localhost" in a terminal). Note that I understand that the risks involved, so please refrain from starting a discussion why I shouldn't do this. All I want to know is how I can disable this check; I don't care who else is logged into my computer (I might even have a remote login from the server in the basement), I want it to hibernate without question when I'm telling it to - I don't want to climb into the basement in the middle of the night just to be able to suspend.

[opensuse] nfsv4 causes system to become unstable under heavy I/O ?
by Per Jessen 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Probably a bit of a long shot, but never mind - is anyone using nfsv4? I have a test-system with root on NFSv4. I have been running CPU & I/O stresstests for about a week now, and they have all ended in a hung system after a 8-16 hours (hard to say when, usually in the middle of the night). The I/O stresstests target locally attached disk, not the NFS root. The symptoms are those of a slow death, but have sofar all ended in a complete hang, system not even responding to Ctrl-Alt-Sysrq. This sounds to me like the NFS root not responding. No interesting console output, I've had a serial console attached for days. I was about to swap the disk controllers, when I thought of maybe trying NFSv3. This works much better ... the system has been chugging along for almost 24 hours now, no indications of any problems. Does this sound familiar to anyone? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.8°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] Mounting partition fails during unattended installs of 13.2
by Jeremy Falling 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hello everyone, I tried posting this on the forums but I didn't get a response. Hopefully one of you can help. I'm running into an interesting issue when I attempt unattended installs of 13.2 that did not occur under earlier versions of openSUSE. Regardless if I use my autoyast config or the autoinst.xml from a manual install I get the following error: Failure occurred during the following action: Mounting /dev/vda2 to / System error code was: -3003 /bin/mount -t ext4 -o acl,user_xattr '/dev/vda2' '/mnt': /bin/mount: /usr/lib64/libmount.so.1: version 'MOUNT_2.25' not found (required by /bin/mount) There are two partitions on the drive. A swap partition which mounts correctly and the ext4 partition which fails. I've also tried other file systems without success. Do any of you have any suggestions for either troubleshooting or fixing around this issue?
