[opensuse] Response rate limiting being added to bind any time soon?
by Scott Simpson 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Is there any chance that response rate limiting (http://www.redbarn.org/dns/ratelimits) is going to be added to Opensuse bind any time soon? I¹d prefer not to maintain my own patched DNS server.

[opensuse] searching the journal is incredibly slow?
by Per Jessen 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

I have a journal with about 1million lines in it - going through it page by page is fine, but trying to skip a few hundred thousand lines or search for e.g. /^Mar/ takes ages. Is this normal? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.7°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

Some of the info seems out of date: (from http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.automount.html) > A unit configuration file whose name ends in ".automount" encodes information > about a file system automount point controlled and supervised by systemd. > > Automount units must be named after the automount directories they control. > Example: the automount point /home/lennart must be configured in a unit file > home-lennart.automount. I have no such .automount files at all. Ah, further down I see that they are auto-configured via /etc/fstab, okay. A couple things I don't understand: Despite "x-systemd.automount" not being set in my /etc/fstab anywhere, I still get some systemd .mount config units, so I guess someone does that behind the scene. With "noauto", apparently these drives are not auto-mounted - so who/what will mount them? Despite these disks being iSCSI, systemd has created links in "local-fs.target.requires" which doesn't seem correct? thanks for your insights, regards Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] spelling and grammar check in LO 4.1
by Istvan Gabor 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hello: I have openSUSE 12.2 and LO 4.1.5.3 from openSUSE LO repo. I can't find out how to use "spelling and grammar" check. I would like to check the spelling of an English text. If I select Tools=>Spelling and Grammar (or press F7) a window titled "Spelling and Grammar: English (USA)" opens. But: 1. It misses misspelled words (eg "speling"). 2. It stops at words/phrases but the "ignore once" button does not work. 3. In the window the "text language" field is empty. Apart from this when I click Tools=>Language, => for selection=> English (USA) is selected => for paragraph=> nothing is selected, even If I select English, it is not set/remembered => for all text=>nothing is selected, even If I select English, it is not set/remembered Could someone please help with this?

[opensuse] Package name differences
by Dylan 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hi All, I use Makehuman (makehuman.org - a 3D human figure modeling application) which has a Linux rpm at http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/releases/1.0.0/makehuman-1.0.0-1.no… The rpm requires: PyOpenGL PyQt4 numpy which are provided by openSUSE as: python-opengl python-qt4 python-numpy I have installed the three libraries, and used --nodeps to install the makehuman package. The application is fully functional, but of course this leaves the rpm database in an inconsistent state. I figure I can create a fake rpm which "provides" the three packages under the names required by the makehuman rpm, and "requires" the three packages under their openSUSE names. Is this a viable approach? Are there any gotchas I should be aware of? Can anyone point me to a suitable resource to learn how to do this?

[opensuse] Help - rpm - error: no dbpath has been set - howto fix?
by David C. Rankin 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

All, I took my trusty laptop to about 10,500 ft (in Co.), and upon return, it booted fine, I went to use yast -> network to change the wifi connection and was prompted that wpa_supplicant, etc.. were not installed -- HUH? This is an old 11.4 box, wpa_supplicant and the rest have been installed for years. So to check, I did the old 'rpm -q wpa_supplicant' and got: error: no dbpath has been set error: cannot open Packages database in /%{_dbpath} error: no dbpath has been set error: cannot open Packages database in /%{_dbpath} Decided to reboot and watch the startup as this didn't make any sense... fsck.ext3 on /dev/sda6 '/' failed and through me into recovery mode. So, in recovery mode: fsck -y /dev/sda6 Churns away for a minute or two and finds ..... blah.blah duplicate/unused inode for file.xyz delete? yes <snip> about 15 more Then fsck completes all remaining checks normally. (reboot) Open kde3, konsole, "su" "yast2 --qt" -> network settings -> same problem, yast doesn't see wpa_supplicant installed --> crud! So, 15:26 alchemy:~> rpm -qa error: no dbpath has been set error: cannot open Packages database in /%{_dbpath} error: no dbpath has been set error: cannot open Packages database in /%{_dbpath} Ok, so apparently rpm lost a link/file that sets the dbpath so rpm doesn't know what is installed and can't find it's cache. How do I fix this? I haven't messed with the actual dbpath for rpm before -- where is it set and to what? Any help appreciated. Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse] OpenCL on FPGA
by Dsant 17 Mar '14

Hello, do you know some FPGA pci (or pci-express) cards, that could be used as GPU on Suse ? Not so powerful as NVidia or AMD ones, but more opened, it's for OpenCL learning :) Or a very open-sourced GPU card from theses companies, that would be nice too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit -- (o_ //\ Dsant, from Lyon, France V_/_ forum(a)votreservice.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
