[opensuse] 13.1 bootable USB stick
by Gustav Degreef 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hello, I am trying to create a bootable USB thumb drive. I downloaded the liveKDE64bit iso and followed the procedure outlined in the SDB. I did: Created 2 primary partitions on the drive, sdb1 - 10 Gb and sdb2 - 4 Gb, both ext4. as root ran dd if=/mnt/iso/openSUSE-13.1-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M The drive boots into a grub prompt only, but no menu appears. I reformatted sdb1 and tried again using virtually the sme command except using bs=1M and the process was finished ran "sync". This was suggested on another web page for suse 13.1. The result is the same, just a grub boot prompt. I could, at the prompt, set the root device, the kernel and the initrd and boot, but it is cumbersome to do it every time. Any pointers on how to get the normal boot menu (that is on the dvd) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Gustav -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why is dovecot using user home directory?
by James Knott 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

All this past week, I have been trying to get dovecot to work properly. For some reason, it now wants to use the users home directory, instead of ~/mail. Dovecot.conf has the line mail_location = mbox:/mail. I have also tried with mail_location = mbox:/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs. Despite this, the home directory continues to be used, with all the files and directories (including hidden) appearing in the email client. Why is this happening now? I have set up dovecot several times in the past and never had this happen. Is this someone's idea of a "feature"? How many more hours must I waste trying to get this to work properly??? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] running a program before shutdown
by Benjamin 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hi everyone! I do have a small problem: I want to run unison before i log out of kde, so that my files are synchronized automatically. I created a .desktop file and placed it in /.kde4/shutdown/. The .desktop file is specified by the command: unison myprofile -batch I tried it, but it seems, that this doesn´t work, because nothing was synchronized after login in again. Although in the systemsettings in the category autostart, my .desktop is listed and set to logout. Any suggestions. Best Benjamin! ps.: I already tried it with a shell-scrpit, which i also placed in the shutdown folder, but this also didn´t work…

[opensuse] Screen display corruption/touchpad weirdness after recent bunch of updates (nVidia binary driver)
by Andrei Borzenkov 19 Oct '14

19 Oct '14

I was off for two weeks and after return got a bunch of updates, including GNOME, Firefox and new nVidia driver. Now I get rather nasty problems in at least two areas (after reboot) - screen updates sometimes look like rapid blinking of part of window; and do not really redraw screen until I try to scroll window. I get it e.g. on forums.opensuse.org site, or in Firefox status bar (which is shown in the bottom when page is loading) or in Firefox tab titles. - in Claws mail scrolling with touchpad sometimes gets "stuck" - it continues to scroll even when I raise finger. Moreover, sometimes it scrolls *both* message list and message body. It almost looks like events get dispatched incorrectly. I understand that it is far too vague so just curious if someone noticed some issues. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] XFS filesystem total failure on return from hibernation.
by Carlos E. R. 05 Oct '14

05 Oct '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, Since yesterday (after an update), I have experimented twice the same problem, on return from hibernation. XFS fails completely, lots of kernel messages. System has to be restarted, recovery is impossible otherwise. It seems to affect one partition only (?), the one that has my home, on xfs. I booted the 13.1 XFCE rescue image, tried to xfs-repair that one. It complained that there was a log, that I should attempt to mount it first. Mount hung. It is unkillable. Reboot of system hung. smartctl -a gives no hint of problem. The hard disk is new (190 hours). I run "xfs_repair -L" on that disk, which succeeds with no error report. I'm at the moment running the long SMART test on that disk. It will take 226 minutes. This is the first report of error in the log: I will put a more complete version of the log in another post. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] outgoing tcp connections are limited to 200 kb/s, how to fix?
by Robin Roth 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Dear all, since a reboot about two weeks ago, on a server I use, all outgoing tcp connections are limited to about 200 kb/s. Incoming tcp and udp both ways is fine (1 GB/s) and also when using multiple connections simultaneously higher bandwidths can be reached. The server is running 12.3. The problem appears with apache, but also when testing with iperf. There is only one switch in between my machine and the server and switching the port with other machines doesn't help. Things I already tried: - disabling susefirewall, completely empty iptables - check tc (shows no entries) - playing around with tcp buffers, like discussed at https://fasterdata.es.net/host-tuning/linux/ - reboot :) Do you have any suggestions what could be the problem? Thanks, Robin

[opensuse] md5sum database
by Otto Rodusek 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi ListMates, Some time ago (10-15 years ago?) there used to be a Linux application that made a complete database of an installed system (basically it stored all the "system" files with their original file sizes, ownership, access permissions and md5sums plus other info in the db) and had programs to periodically check this database against an installed system and report on any changes and optionally to restore them to their original states. I forgot the name of the package and can't seem to find it via google! Does anyone on this list remember this package and if so to let me know where to find it. Thanks for any help. Best regards. Otto. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] chmsee doesn't work
by John Perry 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hello, I'm trying to read a .chm file (specifically, javascript.chm). The original chmsee that was on the system failed, so I used yast2 to delete it and reinstall from the opensuse repository. It fails in exactly the same way. I tried from the command line and get the following: john@linux-mblx:/> chmsee & [1] 10523 john@linux-mblx:/> (process:10526): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed Error: Platform version '17.0.10' is not compatible with minVersion >= 22.0 maxVersion <= 23.* Is there a way to fix this? Is there a chmsee, or any program, that will read this file? Neither Okular nor LibreOffice Write will. The original chmsee was installed with the system, I'm pretty sure. I'm using opensuse 13.1, fully updated, in a Virtualbox machine under Windows 7. The chmsee file was built from a web site (MDN?) by a user. john perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
