by Chuck Payne 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi, I am trying to set up a simple repo, I read on the opensuse site about a binary called genIS_PLAINcache, because I can't see to find it or the package yast2-packmanager either. Can someone help. I am setting this repo up for SLE9, I have tried to use createrepo but I keeping getting errors. -- ---------------------------------------- When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away.

Unlike Farrugut's order at the Battle of Mobile Bay, going full-speed ahead is not going to achieve any useful objectives, yet the dangers of systemd are still there. For one, systemd is making APPLICATIONS now dependant on the systemd API, which means when even the biggest fanboys here, at Redhat, and other distributions finally are forced to admit that systemd is a crock of shit.... we won't be able to remove it.... in other words, unlike Farragut, the probability of eventually being blown out of the water by a systemd torpedo is 100%. SysV init has problems, but without a doubt, it does NOT present itself as being a massive security hole, nor present the risk of making a system unbootable. > > Cheers, Mark > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No sound in Minecraft
by Mike 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

I've asked on the minecraft forums without a response so I'm trying here in case that it might be a SuSE configuration issue. I do not have sound in the game. This has been a problem for several versions nowCurently running 1.7.5. I've also tried the last 2 snapshots. I can play music fine and was able to play the sound files in .mineraft/assets/objects/* via Amarok. I have deleted the assets folder and had re-downloaded everything. I looked in the bug list and I found a few sound related issues, but they suggested that there was some sounds. The log only mentions minecraft:mob.witch.idle, but there are no sounds at all in game, but in options everything is set to 100%. I tried to force an older version in profile editor but still no sound going back to 1.4.2. I see a java Playback Stream in the mixer and volume is 100% there too. Any ideas?

[opensuse] DenyHosts daemon mode on openSUSE 11.3
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi, I am trying to run DenyHosts on OS 11.3. I can get it to sync and update the hosts.deny file, but with "rcdenyhosts status" it reports as being "unused" just after I started it with "rcdenyhosts start". I tried also with yast, setting up as a service (daemon) and starting it. It also stops immediately. In the denyhosts.log file there is no error info, just what it used to set it up at start. I've gone through the configs several times, no joy. Anyone got DenyHosts running properly? :-/ Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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.
