[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).

[opensuse] Thunderbird dups [WAS: Temperature measurements of computer components]

That TB looks up the MX for the > recipient domain and talks directly to that? Ah. On the Th smtp configuration setting, I have an entry for "localhost", configured as default smtp server: port 25, no user name, no auth, no connection security. Posts are sent to postfix, and postfix handles the sending via my ISP relay. And all accounts have this entry set as the smtp server to use. Then, I also have entries for each account, so that using a gmail account thunderbird would talk with the gmail entry server for sending. This is what I called "on its own". The current setting on each account is "use default smtp server", as described above for localhost, not the ISP for each account. On this occasion, though, apparently Th ignored this setting, and sent directly, using the other config, sending directly to my ISP. Or so I thought. Looking again at the logs, I see that thunderbird sent the same email twice to postfix: <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:10 minas-tirith postfix 5963 - - connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:10 minas-tirith postfix 5966 - - connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:10 minas-tirith postfix 5966 - - 2B8E5183B8F: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:10 minas-tirith postfix 5963 - - 2D2CB185578: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:10 minas-tirith postfix 5968 - - 2B8E5183B8F: message-id=<5300B25D.6080107(a)telefonica.net> <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:10 minas-tirith postfix 5969 - - 2D2CB185578: message-id=<5300B25D.2040905(a)telefonica.net> <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:10 minas-tirith postfix 5966 - - disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:10 minas-tirith postfix 1944 - - 2D2CB185578: from=<robin.listas@...>, size=2460, nrcpt=1 (queue active) <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:10 minas-tirith postfix 1944 - - 2B8E5183B8F: from=<robin.listas@...>, size=1902, nrcpt=1 (queue active) <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:10 minas-tirith postfix 5963 - - disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:11 minas-tirith postfix 5973 - - Untrusted TLS connection established to smtp.telefonica.net[86.109.99.70]:25: TLSv1 with cipher EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA (168/168 bits) <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:11 minas-tirith postfix 5972 - - Untrusted TLS connection established to smtp.telefonica.net[86.109.99.70]:25: TLSv1 with cipher EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA (168/168 bits) <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:11 minas-tirith postfix 5973 - - 2B8E5183B8F: to=<opensuse(a)opensuse.org>, relay=smtp.telefonica.net[86.109.99.70]:25, delay=1.1, delays=0.23/0.13/0.69/0.1, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 <52FCE26000148444> Mail accepted) <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:11 minas-tirith postfix 1944 - - 2B8E5183B8F: removed <2.6> 2014-02-16 13:43:11 minas-tirith postfix 5972 - - 2D2CB185578: to=<opensuse(a)opensuse.org>, relay=smtp.telefonica.net[86.109.99.70]:25, delay=1.2, delays=0.19/0.15/0.75/0.13, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 <52FCE26000148445> Mail accepted) Thus the dupplicate email here.
