[opensuse] wicked/dhcp fails when network isn't connected ?
by Per Jessen 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

I'm not sure, so before I open a report, does anyone recognize this scenario: A system has an interface (eth0) configured with dhcp. The system is rebooted, but eth0 is not connected to anything. Obviously any dhcp requests will fail until the cable is plugged in. However, when I plug in the cable, the interface does not acquire an address. I have to manually if-down/up it. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.9°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

[opensuse] Firefox 34.0.5
by Basil Chupin 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

What is it with this version of Firefox 34.0.5?! It decides at random times to SHUTDOWN and RESTART - all by itself! I have seen this happen when I am viewing a TV channel (using VLC) and FF then "overwrites" what I am watching. At first I thought that this had something to do with some relationship between VLC and Firefox v 34.0.5 but this is not the case: Firefox just simply restarts even though I am doing something else! This has NEVER happened with previous versions of Firefox. So, why is 34.0.5 so "special" (and such a PITA)? BTW, this restart by FF occurred a few minutes ago while I am using *Tumbleweed* (contrary to what you read below in my Signature line) and it also has occurred in 13.1 and 13.2 - hence this post. Something to do with the AddOns I am using, you say? Hardly think so as I have been using the same AddOns for years and FF has never behaved as it does now. Anybody else having similar experience, or know of why this is occurring? As I said this is a random occurrence (although at one time I thought I noticed that it occurs ~120 minutes after I start viewing a TV channel).

[opensuse] degraded RAID1 question
by Istvan Gabor 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hello: I have several RAID1 mirror devices. For some reason, I don't know why, some of them have been degraded. For example, originally /dev/sdb8 and /dev/sdc8 formed md8 (/dev/md8). This was mounted as /dev/disk/by-id/md-name-pc:8 to /mnt/disk8. Now the above array is degraded, more precisely forms two degraded arrays. One is md8, according to /proc/mdstat: md8 : active raid1 sdc8[0] 31455164 blocks super 1.0 [2/1] [U_] The other is: md121 : active raid1 sdb8[2] 31455164 blocks super 1.0 [2/1] [_U] That is one device from the original array has become part of another array, md121, which hasn't been defined before. Investigating the two arrays separately it seems that both has data which is not on the other 'array'; it seems that the two arrays were used alternatively in the last few days. I can mount them separately and synchronize the data on them manually, but I wonder if there is a better, automatic approach. I also would like to set back the original scenario, where both devices are part of md8. I don't know where the md121 name comes from, and how I can change it back to md8. My /etc/mdadm.conf doesn't have device md121, it has only md8. ARRAY /dev/md/pc:8 UUID=44.... mdadm --detail --scan gives: ARRAY /dev/md/pc:8 metadata=1.0 name=pc:8 UUID=44.... ARRAY /dev/md/pc:8 metadata=1.0 name=pc:8 UUID=44.... The two UUIDs are the same. Any idea to fix this?

[opensuse] disabling KDE wallet, openSUSE 13.2 with default KDE4
by Istvan Gabor 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hello: This is in openSUSE 13.2 with its default KDE4 (4.14.3). I am trying to disable KDE Wallet in Configure Desktop -> Common Appearance and Behavior -> Account Details -> KDE Wallet: I uncheck the "Enable the KDE wallet subsystem" checkbox. Then I click "Apply". The " Apply" button grays out. Then I go to the next config option or close the window. A message window appears titled "Apply Settings - System Settings" and saying "The settings of the current module have changed. Do you want to apply the changes or discard them?" I click "Apply". Another window titled "KDE Wallet Control Module - System Settings" appears saying: "Sorry, the system security policy didn't allow you to save the changes." I click OK. I go back to KDE Wallet settings: KDE Wallet tickbox is still on, KDE wallet hasn't been disabled. This is in a VNC session if it matters. How can I disable KDE Wallet? I don't want to configure it. Even better to get rid of this stuff competely? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Flash-Player Update to 11.2.202.440
by David Haller 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hello, flash-player versions 11.2.202.438 and older has a serious vulnerability, so Adobe actually did release an update to .440. The update for supported versions is in multimedia:apps, and Marcus said on the -de ML he'll push the update to supported versions i.e. 13.1, 13.2 and Factory aka Tumbleweed. I (just) built the package (no change in respect to mm:apps, it's a link with no diff for you that know OBS) for 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3, go to http://software.opensuse.org/package/flash-player open all, scroll to the very end and you'll find the flash-player 11.2.202.440 package for "12.x Update standard" in "home:dnh". Use 1 Click or add my repo (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dnh and choose your version) with a lower priority that does NOT supersede other repos, i.e. with a higher "number", e.g. 142. Then, search for the flash-player package in zypper/yast2 and _only_ switch that the flash-stuff to my repo via the version tab in yast2 or the exact version in zypper (IIRC). I have other stuff in the repo, that might not be what you want (though openssl might be) :) That way, you should get newest flash-player (as safe as it gets I guess). But you should use HTML5 when available and bug companies and people not to use flash anymore. Oh, and with firefox/seamonkey: do install prefbar (http://prefbar.mozdev.org) and get a handy checkbox for en-/disabling Flash (and lots of other stuff like checkboxes for JS / Cookies / Animations / Java). I've not tested it on youtube, but there's at least one site where I get mp4 via HTML5 embedding when flash is disabled and flv via flash when it is enabled. So, such a checkbox is quite handy :) Also, you might want to set to "true" the media.mediasource.enabled pref in about:config (or create a prefbar-checkbox for it, it's easy). Oh, and for 12.2 and 13.1 up (but not for 12.1 and 12.3) there's freshplayer-plugin on packman, somehow shimming the chrome flashplayer via an Plugin-API adapter into mozillen or so, that way, you are supposed to get the current plugin used in chrome (16.x now?) ;) I have no idea how stable that shim is though. HTH, -dnh -- As it turned out, this cute girl I had been talking too spoke Russian. One instant gift at hand. As it turned out we had a lot in common. We both liked girls for one thing.

[opensuse] KDE4 System Administration drive me nuts
by Istvan Gabor 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hello: This is in openSUSE 13.2 with its default KDE4 (4.14.3). I want to configure the login manager (KDM). I start it from Configure Desktop -> System Administration -> Login Screen. It doesn't ask for root password. OK. I change a setting and try to save by clicking "Apply". Now it asks for root password. I fill it and the change is applied. I change another thing, "Apply" again. Is asks for root password again. And it goes on like this. Every time I click "Apply" it asks for the root password. This is very annoying. In KDE3 it was sufficient to enter root passord only once to enter administrator mode and after that you could make and apply as many changes as you wanted without entering the root password again in that session. What is the rationale behind this new "feature"? Is there any way to set back the KDE3 behavior?

I'm now running fresh installs of 13.2 (32 and 64 bit). And it has hit me again on both the 32 bit and 64 bit installs. The details above match exactly what happens on my 32 bit 13.2 install. Below are details from the 64-bit install. As user: apper Object::connect: No such signal KCModule::caption(QString) Then an apper box that reads: Cannot load library /usr/lib64/kde4/kcm_apper.so: (libapper.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory) Possible reasons: * An error occured during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module. * You have old third party modules lying arounf Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributer or packager. I don't seem to be missing any of the 2 files in the error message? #ls -al /usr/lib64/apper/libapper.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 337696 Oct 8 23:16 /usr/lib64/apper/libapper.so #ls -al /usr/lib64/kde4/kcm_apper.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 339320 Oct 8 23:16 /usr/lib64/kde4/kcm_apper.so # ls -al /usr/lib64/kde4/imports/org/kde/apper/libapperplugin.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 64248 Oct 8 23:16 /usr/lib64/kde4/imports/org/kde/apper/libapperplugin.so And again, both machines have a little red box with a white X in it on my panel where normally the apper icon would be if there were updates. I can still do updates with yast but apper seems dead on both boxes. Any ideas?

[opensuse] systemd says "Failed to open private bus connection: ... /run/user/9/dbus/user_bus_socket"
