[opensuse] IPv6 link local for VLAN
by James Knott 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

In Yast LAN configuration, it's possible to create a VLAN interface with different IP addresses than the native LAN. However, one thing I've noticed is the VLANs have the same IPv6 link local address as the native LAN. Is it possible to change the link local address? Adding another doesn't work, as a valid subnet mask is required, but link local addresses don't use them. Having the same link local address, for two interfaces, can cause problems when used as a router, as the link local address is often used as the router address. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] uefi
by Ruben Safir 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

These uefi installations are confusing me. I just loaded opensuse 13.1 on a new Levonea laptop I loaded it with 13.1 and it seemed ok, but the windows loader didn't go away even through I thought I deleted the partitions... the partitions were sda1 vfat /boot/eefi sda2 swap sda3 / root (everything) for the 13.2 install using XFS. Simple right? it coudn't install the boot loader. I tried sec, I tried insecure. I tried running the rescue but I have no idea how to reinstall in the boot loader I'm doing the installation off of a net install CD BTW - there are problems with that CD -- So many immigrant groups have swept through our town that Brooklyn, like Atlantis, reaches mythological proportions in the mind of the world - RI Safir 1998 http://www.mrbrklyn.com DRM is THEFT - We are the STAKEHOLDERS - RI Safir 2002 http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive http://www.coinhangout.com - coins! http://www.brooklyn-living.com Being so tracked is for FARM ANIMALS and and extermination camps, but incompatible with living as a free human being. -RI Safir 2013 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] K3b won't write
by Anton Aylward 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

I don't think the problem is with K3b, but it reports the CDROM and DVD drives as not being able to write. The program doesn't even recognise that there is a blank disk in the burner. This applies to both the CD and the DVD burner. # ls -l /dev/sr* brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Dec 23 15:53 /dev/sr0 brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 1 Dec 23 08:59 /dev/sr1 # lsattr /dev/sr* lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on /dev/sr0 lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on /dev/sr1 I've tried various devices and currently have # lsscsi [0:0:0:0] disk ATA WDC WD10EALS-00Z 1D05 /dev/sda [0:0:1:0] cd/dvd LG DVD-ROM DRD8160B 1.01 /dev/sr0 [1:0:0:0] cd/dvd PBDS CD-ROM DH-48N1S BD11 /dev/sr1 Yes, I am in group cdrom.

It still blocks accesses when I run K3B as root. I have no problem reading CDs or DVDs. I've googled and not found anything that seems specific to this case. Lots of stuff about access and missing programs, none of which applies here. As far as I can tell the burners -- and yes I'm sure they are burners, I've swapped around as part of the problem determination and these work in other machines -- Let me repeat: the drive is not recognising the blank. If I put a music cd or a an old backup DVD in I get the KDE notifier popup offering me the various choices. When I put a blank in I expect a popup offering to start k3b. That isn't happening. So, "hardware" you say. Well I've swapped that hardware and know it works elsewhere. I know the reader functions work Ok and the notifier works OK. I've run out of ideas. -- /"\ \ / 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

[opensuse] thunderbird config: revert to default browser for links
by Daniel Bauer 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

Hi, Opensuse 12.3, KDE My standard browser in system settings is seamonkey. Thunderbird used to open links in emails in a new tab in seamonkey. To try something I changed the about-config-setttings in thunderbird: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https from false to true. As expected I was asked the next time which browser to use and I selected firefox. All fine. But now I want to go back, i.e. so that links are opened in seamonkey again. I can't. It keeps opening firefox and I find no way to change that again. Where do I have to search? All I find in big-brother is the description of what I did above. But how to revert? I changed several times from false to true, from true to false, always with closing thunderbird per menu, even with logging out and in as user. No change. I am confused. What can I do? b.t.w. network.protocol-handler.app.http and network.protocol-handler.app.https are set to seamonkey (/usr/bin/seamonkey) thanks for hints Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com room in Barcelona: https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/2416137 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to find random requirements in RPM?
by Linda Walsh 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

In trying to install some 13.2 mono packages I got some semi- opaque messages: error: Failed dependencies: mono(System.Runtime.Serialization) = 4.0.0.0 is needed by (installed)... mono(System.Runtime.Remoting) = 4.0.0.0 is needed by (installed)... mono(System.Web) = 4.0.0.0 is needed by (installed) .... mono(WindowsBase) = 3.0.0.0 is needed by (installed) mono-uia-2.1-4.1.2.x86_64 Trouble is, my depo has no packages or rpms named mono(System.Web) or mono(WindowsBase). and I don't see package or library at v4.0.0.0 nor v.3.0.0.0. So now would someone find these deps in a local repo? Thanks... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SSL Zertifikat erstellen mit CA=TRUE
by Benjamin 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

Hallo! Hab ne Frage zu den Zertifikaten: Ich hab nach folgender Anleitung meine Zertifikate erstellt: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/CA Nun hab ich das Problem, dass bei CA=FALSE steht und darum mein Android Handy das Zertifikate nicht akzeptiert. Eigenartigerweise hat das Zertifikat, welches ich mittels Code: <http://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=24275#> |/usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca | erstellt habe die Flag an true und funktioniert auch am Server! Aber wenn ich dann ein Zertifikat erstellen mittels Code: <http://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=24275#> |/usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newreq /usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -sign| wie es bschrieben ist, dann hat das neue Zertifikat kein CA=TRUE was wie gesagt zum Problem führt…Kann mir wer sagen, wie is das Problem angehe? Prinzipiell möchte ich das Zertifikat für meinen nginx sever verwenden, auf dem eine owncloud läuft… MfG Benjamin. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New Bugzilla
by James Knott 25 Dec '14

25 Dec '14

The openSUSE bugzilla has changed format. What I don't see is how to create a new bug report. Clicking on "New" or "File a bug" apparently doesn't do it. I'm taken to a panel where I can search, but I don't see any way to actually create a new bug report. What am I missing? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Watching netflix and/or amazon prime movies on 13.2
by Mark Hounschell 24 Dec '14

24 Dec '14

I'm trying to watch videos online from Amazon prime videos. The PC is running 13.2 (x64) and the video is connected to my LG TV via an HDMI port. Using the built in stuff of the TV I can watch the videos but I want to watch them through the PC instead of the TV directly. Fumbling around the TV menus with a remote is problematic for me. From what I read, this is possible. I've had no luck though. When I try to watch one, I get no error messages. It looks like it loads properly and is ready to play but nothing comes out on the TV. I realize I'm not giving much detail as to what I've tried. Really I'm just inquiring whether or not this is even possible. If anyone is actually able to do this I would really like to know. If so then I will be happy to get detailed on what I've done (wrong) in order get to some real help. From what I've read, if I can do this with Amazon, then Netflix should also work. I'm not a Netflix customer and won't be unless I can get this to work. Thanks for any pointers, links, etc...

[opensuse] grub2 and partitioning questions
by Moby 24 Dec '14

24 Dec '14

I am having difficulty getting grub2 installed properly on a new system with oss 13.2. Here is the saga so far: Setup: Machine with 4 SATA disks of 500 GB each. All disks have a GPT partition table. Machine is not using EFI. Goal: Have minimum number of partitions (no separate home, var etc). Be able to fully withstand single disk failure (so swap and /boot, if separate partition, have to be protected). Use only software components (md raid). Have as much of the filesystem(s) on btrfs as possible. Attempt 1: A) Created a 4 GB md raid partition on all 4 disks, and then created md raid 5 across them. This was for swap. B) Created another md raid partition on all remaining disks, and made that raid 5 for / with btrfs. Results: Machine would not boot, could not install grub2 from rescue mode. Finally gave up and went to attempt 2. Attempt 2: A) Create a 256 MB md raid partition on all 4 disks. B) Create raid 1 md0 from /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1. Format this as ext4 for /boot. B) Create raid 1 md1 from /dev/sdc1 + /dev/sdd1. Format this as ext4 for /boot1. This is just to keep disk layout on all 4 disks the same, and perhaps involves some dreams of later mirroring /boot to ./boot1 C) Create 2 GB md raid partition on all 4 disks and use it as raid 5 swap. This is md2. D) Create md raid partition using all remaining space on all 4 disks, and make it raid 5 btrfs for /. This is md3 Results: Machine does not boot. Attempting to install grub2 from rescue mode produces various errors (depending on device that the install is attempted on). I booted the system into rescue mode, mounted /boot and / and then chrooted to it (with appropriate binds for /proc, /dev etc). Attempts to install grub2 and results are below: Command: grub2-install --recheck /dev/sda1 Results: Installing for i386-pc platform. grub2-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding. grub2-install: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install. Command: grub2-install --recheck /dev/sda Results: Installing for i386-pc platform. grub2-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible. grub2-install: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install. Command: grub2-install --recheck /dev/md0 Results: Installing for i386-pc platform. grub2-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding. grub2-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. grub2-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists. Is the setup described in attempt 1 sane? I did not think it was and went with the setup in attempt 2. I ~think~ it is sane, but I am new to btrfs and grub2. fwiw, I have multiple machines with oss131 running legacy grub with /boot, swap, and root on md raid with lvm on top and ext4 on top of that running just fine. Any help in moving forward is much appreciated. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
