[opensuse] Anybody building mysql-connector-c for 13.1, know where it is.
by David C. Rankin 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

All, I'm looking for mysql-connector-c for 13.1 and I cannot find it anywhere in build service. The closest I can find it the mingw version: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=windows%3Amingw%3Awin64&pac… I need it and would like to check if anyone is building it so save the time for rewriting the spec. Anybody know where an openSuSE version is? I know I've usually found it in server:/database in the repositories on prior releases, but only the cpp-devel version is present now? Dependencies are minimal (boost, boost-libs, cmake, libmariadbclient), so that isn't a problem. Let me know if you know where an opensuse version is, or a spec. Otherwise, I'll rewrite one from the generic srpm and cut all the cruft out of the generic spec... -- David C.

[opensuse] Compression tools with data recovery ability
by jcsl 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hi. I want to make backup a partition and I want to compress the data. I'm worried about the possibility of the compressed files being damaged when I try to restore then. I've read that in compressed tarball you cannot recover any data after a single damaged bit. I'm looking for tools like rar that creates extra recovery files. What options are available? What I've found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_archive_formats#Comparison and available in the repositories are DAR and rar. Lzip also has a recovery utility called Lziprecover. Parchive is another related utility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchive I haven't used any of these except rar and I don't know if the have some kind of problems. And I don't know how other compression tools like gzip and bzip behave in case of file damage. I have used dd + tar.gz previously to make backups but I'm not sure if it is a good option anymore. Any hints? Thanks in advance. Greetings. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Libreoffice NFS
by Paul Groves 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

I have tried opening several libreoffice documents today from my NFS share on my NAS and every file asks to open in read only. Copied to the local HDD, the file opens fine. I have tried turning off file locking inlibre office and it makes no difference. This was working a couple of days ago and the issue has appear on my opensuse 13.1 laptop and desktop and on a few ubuntu machines at work. This is frustrating as a couple of months ago libreoffice broke compatability with CIFS/SMB shares and now NFS isn't working either! -- Paul Groves -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Beamer trouble
by A. den Oudsten 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

When I starts my Optoma beamer EX774N and then my laptop with 13.1 I see my screen adapted to 1024x768, as required, but a foto on the laptop display does not appear on the beamerscreen. Any suggestion for my last little jump? Thanks in advance André den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] systemd.fsck looping
by Per Jessen 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

One of my backup systems failed last week, bad power supply. Having replaced the power supply, it now fails to complete boot - systemd.fsck is looping. It keeps fsck'ing something which fails, upon which systemd.fsck says "welcome to emergency mode", then starts over with the fsck. I guess the next thing is to boot a rescue system, then modify the fstab to omit mounting the failing filesystem. (unless there is a way of specifying that as a startup argument?) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.8°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] iptables: limiting NAT
by Hans Witvliet 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi all, does anyone knows how to get around a build-in limitation of iptables? What i want to do is something like: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -port 873 -j SNAT -o br1 --to-source 1.1.1.82 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -port 80 -j SNAT -o br1 --to-source 1.1.1.83 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -port 25 -j SNAT -o br1 --to-source 1.1.1.84 etc etc ...... So basically i want SOME traffic being SNAT-ed, but not all !! specifically: my six ipv6-tunnels towards H.E. don't like to be natted, the all have their own specific IPv4-addres.

[opensuse] [Opensuse] Gnome problems
by Lance Drager ＠ TTU 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

I'm running openSUSE 13.1. After doing a distribution upgrade that upgraded many files, I can't get Gnome to start correctly. I get the "Something has gone wrong" message. Xfce and Kde work. I would hate to do a fresh install! I doubt you can help me with that little bit of information, but what information should I send? Thanks.

[opensuse] copy and paste in chromium
by lynn 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Hi In e.g. blogger I can't two finger tap (or right click for mouse users) to get the context menu to use copy and paste. Or rather I get the context menu, but copy does nothing. I have to use the chromium menu at top right to copy and paste. In Firefox, I can use the context menu as expected. Can I get chromium to understand the context menu?
