[opensuse] Persistent Binding - udev rules
by PmB 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Hi, I have a system (openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)) which has three tape drives on it; HP Ultrium 2-SCSI 460, HP Ultrium 4-SCSI 1840 and IBM ULT3580-HH5. I have the following settings in a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules # HP Ultrium 2-SCSI 460 KERNEL=="st0", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350060b00001e5919", NAME="st0", MODE="666" KERNEL=="nst0", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350060b00001e5919-nst", NAME="nst0", MODE="666" # IBM ULT3580-HH5 KERNEL=="st1", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350050763120d0ce3", NAME="st1", MODE="666" KERNEL=="nst1", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350050763120d0ce3-nst", NAME="nst1", MODE="666" # HP Ultrium 4-SCSI 1840 KERNEL=="st2", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350060b0000ba6366", NAME="st2", MODE="666" KERNEL=="nst2", BUS="scsi", SYMLINK="tape/by-id/scsi-350060b0000ba6366-nst", NAME="nst2", MODE="666" so that there are persistent bindings for the three tape drives: Ultrium 2-SCSI /dev/st0 & /dev/nst0 ULT3580-HH5 /dev/st1 & /dev/nst1 Ultrium 4-SCSI /dev/st2 & /dev/nst2 Following a system reboot, and using 'lsscsi' I get the following [5:0:0:0] tape IBM ULT3580-HH5 C7RD /dev/st1 [6:0:3:0] tape HP Ultrium 4-SCSI B32D /dev/st0 [7:0:6:0] tape HP Ultrium 2-SCSI F3AD /dev/st2 Following a subsequent reboot I get [5:0:0:0] tape IBM ULT3580-HH5 C7RD /dev/st0 [6:0:6:0] tape HP Ultrium 2-SCSI F3AD /dev/st2 [7:0:3:0] tape HP Ultrium 4-SCSI B32D /dev/st1 Neither of which is following the defined rules. More system reboots can result in the correct device bindings, sometimes not. Can anyone look through what I have; correct it (me) where I have it wrong; point me in the correct direction; or let me know that I can't do as I want.

[opensuse] underperforming internet connection
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

I am connected with the internet with the only internet provider in my area. This is ADSL with a download speed of max. 1.5 Mbps and and upload speed of about 0,40 Mbps. I could live with these speeds if the connection would be reliable. If it rains or if there are strong winds, the connection goes dead and it will take some time to reconnect (several minutes). The company which owns the telephone lines is not impressed by my connection problems and does not react to complaints. They tell me that next year or so we may get our connection over glass-fiber cables. In order to make some weight with my complaints and getting at least a reliable connection I am looking for a program which logs at least the times that I loose connection. Speed is of no interest for the moment. Somebody know of a program doing just that? -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 and LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 20141221 (i586) Kernel: 3.16.6-2-default KDE Development Platform: 4.14.3 13:09pm up 4:44, 3 users, load average: 0.72, 0.55, 0.56 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse 13.2 tumbleweed all updates applied
by ianseeks 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hi I've had 2 complete lockups today, Had to poke it in the eye to reboot as keyboard was frozen, the mouse moved okay but unable to click on anything. Ctrl, Alt Backspace was not a option. The HDU light was still flashing every couple of seconds so the machine was still running. I left it on the second time for a couple of hours to see if it sorted itelks out - no luck. Both times I had Chromium open with about 8 tabs active, i was copying text from one tab to a Libreoffice document and the lock up happened during this process both times. I've never had this problem before. I used to use Opera for most of my browsing but as 12.16 is getting flaky as it falls behind (i.e. backtab doesn;t always work) and never encountered this problem. Anyone else had this issue? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1 bootable USB stick
by Gustav Degreef 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hello, I am trying to create a bootable USB thumb drive. I downloaded the liveKDE64bit iso and followed the procedure outlined in the SDB. I did: Created 2 primary partitions on the drive, sdb1 - 10 Gb and sdb2 - 4 Gb, both ext4. as root ran dd if=/mnt/iso/openSUSE-13.1-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M The drive boots into a grub prompt only, but no menu appears. I reformatted sdb1 and tried again using virtually the sme command except using bs=1M and the process was finished ran "sync". This was suggested on another web page for suse 13.1. The result is the same, just a grub boot prompt. I could, at the prompt, set the root device, the kernel and the initrd and boot, but it is cumbersome to do it every time. Any pointers on how to get the normal boot menu (that is on the dvd) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Gustav -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] advanced options and defaults
by jdd 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hello, during debugging of problem (other thread), I had often to boot on "advanced" menu. How can one make 1) the advanced menu as boot default (it's not in yast options) 2) set the default in the advanced menu itself grub2 (no uefi there) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KOTD and full screen
by jdd 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hello, I think I already had such problem, but do not remember the solution. I had to install the Kernel Of The Day on 13.1 to be able to access my 13.2 and fix it, but with this kernel I could only have a graphical screen of size smaller than the actual screen. xrander still gives 1920x1080 (and no other choice), but I get a black border all around the screen, like it's usual during early boot probably nouveau driver, not proprietary one (I can't make the proprietary one work with KOTD) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.2 do not start anymore
by jdd 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

back this morning :-( so two possibilities: * the 13.2 ssd is failing. how can I test a ssd from a working 13.1? Kingston says the disk is ok. the disk being plugged in an external dock, I changed dock just to see - no change. When the disk is plugged as e-sata, I can boot 13.2 in recovery mode (second option of boot menu), but yast segfault. I can't boot from install dvd or usb key, stops at "loading extra drivers". so I unplugged e-sata and only connected the disk as usb. I can boot the old 13.1 install (on a other disk) and access the 13.2 root, but *not* the xfs /home. xfs_repair -n is trying to find an other suoerblock, but do not find any :-( too old kernel? 13.12 is up to date. * how can I restore from a previous snapshot (root is btrfs) from command line? tried this. snapper says it can't create the readonly backup snapshot and quit. I don't remember having anything important on this disk, I may reformat it completely? jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.2 do not start anymore
by jdd 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

Hello, It's a bit t late here to start debugging, but if you have ideas, I will use them tomorrow morning :- some hours ago my 13.2 began to become unstable. I remember having done an update with apper in the afternoon. it do not start anymore (I write here with my 13.1, same computer, except the hard drive). I can start the recovery mode, but without network? yast segfault... same thing with previous kernel from start menu. so two possibilities: * the 13.2 ssd is failing. how can I test a ssd from a working 13.1? root is btrfs, but I do not have anymore "start previous snapshot" in the start menu and can't use yast, so what command line? fsck.btrfs /dev/sdc1 do nothing (not even a message) * how can I restore from a previous snapshot (root is btrfs) from command line? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Calibre from KDE:Extra doesn't work, from OSS is OK

SIGABRT Version 1.48 from OSS works perfectly. I also tried version from home:ecsos and I have got same error as above. Same problem was reported some time ago at http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2014-12/msg00116.html but the error is different. All dependencies are met, PyQt 4 and 5 are available. Any idea how to debug it to help packagers to fix it? Sincerely, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/
