[opensuse] inserting an old ATA Hard Disk prevents booting system
by ellanios82 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hello List - in case of interest : my root partition is on SATA Hard Disk /dev/sda1 & home partition is on SATA Hard Disk /dev/sda2 ............... whereas until now, all booted normally, this week when i insert an old ATA Hard Disk for a weekly backup, it causes booting to be unable to mount home partition on SATA Hard Disk /dev/sda2 ................... - have had a look at BIOS which sees old ATA Hard Disk all right - maybe this prevention of booting system is a side-effect of old ATA disk's demise? ............ regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question on use of dkms
by upscope 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

I have installed dkms. when I run: <CODE> sudo /usr/sbin/dkms status I get: nvidia, 331.38, 3.11.6-4-desktop, x86_64: installed vboxhost, 4.3.6, 3.11.6-4-desktop, x86_64: installed </CODE> If I update the kernel will it automatically up date both VirtualBox and Nvidia drivers or do I need to do something else? I found an old Blog by James McDaniel but it only goes thru 12.3. Are a the steps he described still necessary. My dkms_autoinstaller. service is active.

[opensuse] Opera from the OS repository
by Peter Suetterlin 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi, I'm running OS 12.3, and until recently I had used an (older, 11.64) version of Opera directly downloaded from opera. Due to issues with vimeo, I did an upgrade to 12.16, and used the OS version in the zyp repository. However, with this version I was unable to choose a proper file selection dialog. Normally, you can do this in opera:config, and select qt,kde,gtk or X versions. Whatever I selected there, I always got the same dialog (probably the plain X one?), which doesn't support things like autocomplete or 'recent files', which really is a PITA. So I grabbed the (same) version from opera, and bingo - I get the proper file dialog back. So what's the issue with the repository version? Is this a specially compiled version? Or an older, buggy one? Intended, or bug?

[opensuse] Update notifications persist for taboo packages
by Erik Leunissen 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hi all, I need to keep my system current with the latest openssl packages. Therefore, I always install the latest stable version myself (in /usr/local). Also, I mark the opensuse openssl packages as taboo in yast online update, to prevent that they ever conflict with my privately installed packages. Regardless the "taboo" tag, I keep getting update notifications for the openssl packages. Is this notification behaviour intended? Is there a way to turn notifications off for taboo'ed packages? Thanks for any help/insight, Erik Leunissen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Pulseaudio glitches and dropouts - possible workaround
by Bob Williams 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Many people find that PulseAudio works perfectly; others, like me, are plagued by pops, crackles and dropouts (intermittent loss of sound). I have been doing some research and came across the following two sites: <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Glitches.2C_skips_or_crackl…> which has a link to this more informative page: <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Backends/ALSA/BrokenDri…> Quoting from the first page: "The newer implementation of PulseAudio sound server uses a timer-based audio scheduling instead of the traditional interrupt-driven approach. Timer-based scheduling may expose issues in some ALSA drivers. On the other hand, other drivers might be glitchy without it on, so check to see what works on your system." And the recommended solution is to add the string 'tsched=0' to the following line in /etc/pulse/default.pa, thus: load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 then stop & restart PulseAudio (as your user). The second page listed above gives more background information, and lists the ALSA sound drivers that don't play nicely with PulseAudio. In my case I have a Soundblaster Live card, which uses the emu10k1 driver. I have made the recommended adjustment to /etc/pulse/default.pa and listened to a lot of music over the past 3 days, and so far it seems to be working well. No more dropouts! I'd be interested to hear if this works for other people.

[opensuse] why no CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR ?
by Malte Gell 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

At least for openSUSE 12.3 CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR is not set for the kernel. Why? Does it not provide some more security or does it even break something? Would it be safe to set CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR when you build your own kernel?

[opensuse] fun with seccheck-2.0-1348.1.noarch
by Werner Flamme 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

This package ist from the security repo for openSUSE 13.1, and it threw me out of my system several times today, until I recognized the reason :-) The package contains a cronjob (/etc/cron.d/autologout) which seemingly looks for console activities. When there are none for 60 minutes, the user is logged out. Unfortunately, the autologout job does not recognize that I start my box in non-graphics mode, log in via console and start KDE using the startx command. So, after one hour, I've been thrown back at the login prompt, KDE silently crashing in the background. When you know some colleagues that work the same way: talk them into installing this package, and you will be awarded with a quite puzzled face every hour! :-) Werner -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] rdiff-backup 1.28 glitch (on 13.1)
by andreil1 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Hi, folks, I unexpectedly run into problem with rdiff-backup 1.28 on OpenSuSE 13.1 (after upgrade from 12.x) performing backup from one local disk to another. rdiff-backup exits with the following error message: Unable to import win32security module. Windows ACLs not supported by filesystem at /backup …. Source and destination directories are local RAID 5 and additional backup hard drive (NOT shares or via SSH). I built rdiff-backup 1.3.3 beta, no remedy. Corresponding Python modules required by rdiff-backup are installed. Googling reveal this problem was encountered by other people, unfortunately, no working fixes found. Some suggested turn off compression, and unset PYTHONOPTIMIZE, it didn't help either. Anyone have any clue how to fix this great backup utility? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).
