[opensuse] software request
by Andrew English 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Which forum do I need to request software get updated in the community? Bitcoin has been updated to version 0.9.0 https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/ I am wondering if someone could update it for 13.1, since I am not familiar with making my own installations yet. :( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I get a session when I login remotely from a X11+ssh based system?
by Linda Walsh 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Many utils issue warnings and some no longer work correctly (like saving and restoring settings. Instead of using the ".rc" files they've always used, they look to store things out on dbus somewhere in a session. So how do I get rid of the warnings and have my settings stored again... or better, how do I tell Session manager just to use my home directory settings as my "session"? I currently log in with ssh, and have display set to my remotehost:0. (not going through ssh due to speed degradation -- but also because am on a closed, internal net. Did anyone think about people logging in remotely from other systems when they came up with this sessions idea? How's it supposed to work? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] yast2-iscsi-server and tgt
by Paul Neuwirth 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

using opensuse 12.3 I recently set up iscsi-targets on the machine using yast. yast installed the package iscsitarget and i set up everything. at the next "zypper up" iscsitarget got replaced by the package tgt. iscsi also worked well afterwards. but if i know call "yast iscsi-server" it wants me to install iscsitarget again: "Cannot continue without installing iscsitarget package." Is this a bug, or do I have to stay at iscsitarget to use this nice tool? thanks zypper if iscsitarget tgt yast2-iscsi-server Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...

[opensuse] Scanner Sharing
by Paul Groves 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Not entirely an opensuse question, but I am looking into sharing my scanner to be accessed by opensuse and windows 7 using something like a home print server. Has anyone any experience of this? -- Paul Groves -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grub2 corrupted after Yast or Zypper updates
by Tony 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

When using VirtualBox 4.3.x and running opensuse 12.3 or 13.1 guest,At random after updates are applied via yast or zypper, somehow the grub boot loader, get's corrupted. At this point the vbox guest opensuse vm will not boot, instead all one see's is a black screen, with the words grub in approximately the upper left part of screen and nothing else displays. The vm is recoverable, I just boot the vm using super grub2, then grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg then grub2-install /dev/sda, reboot all is good. Any ideas as to what would be causing this and/or prevent it from happening.

[opensuse] autofs functionality vs. systemd auto-mount?
by Per Jessen 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Just a quick question - has systemd taken over autofs, such that we should plan to move our autofs setups systemd too, in particular new ones? If yes, does systemd have any known shortcomings in this respect, i.e. does is fully supplant autofs? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.5°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

[opensuse] Swap on wrong drive, according to fstab.
by James Knott 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

I recently moved my swap partition to a new drive. Partioner and swaplabel show it on the new drive, but it's still on the old drive according to fstab. How do I get fstab to show the correct drive/partition? Shouldn't Partitioner have updated it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I make systemd wait for iscsi to start before attempting to mount iscsi-based filesystems?
by Per Jessen 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

I should know the answer to this one, but I simply cannot figure it out. My /etc/fstab has some iscsi-based filesystems - these obviously can't be mounted until iscsid is started and has logged in to the storage server. Somehow systemd needs to know this, how do I tell it? The file systems are configured with start=automatic (i.e. not with onboot). I will be setting up multipathing later, which might possible also take of this issue, but it seems to be it ought to work without too. thanks, Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
