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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I get this entry in the _warning_ log: <3.4> 2015-01-26 12:23:01 Telcontar systemd 6618 - - Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/9/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory User 9 is "news", can login but does not, and runs some cron jobs with fetchnews, and the leafnode daemon, serving nntp on localhost. By the timestamp I know that it is cron. This entry in "/etc/cron.d/mine": - -3,8,13,18,23,28,33,38,43,48,53,58 * * * * news /var/lib/news/bin/cronscriptparafetchnews That script contains: #!/bin/bash HORA=`date --rfc-3339=ns` echo "================> $HORA Start fetchnews session" >> /var/lib/news/fetchnews.cron.log 2>&1 /usr/sbin/fetchnews -vv >> /var/lib/news/fetchnews.cron.log 2>&1 HORA=`date --rfc-3339=ns` echo "================> $HORA End fetchnews session" >> /var/lib/news/fetchnews.cron.log 2>&1 I know, or guess, that the bus connection is created on login, but a cron job does not login. In fact, the tree does exist: Telcontar:~ # tree /run/user/9 /run/user/9 └── systemd └── private 1 directory, 1 file Telcontar:~ # But not the dbus directory. I'd tend to ignore that log entry, but it comes in the warning log, not in the messages log, so whoever designed that thought the error to be important. But I don't know what real effect it may have. The recent thread "[opensuse] What is /run/user/<user-id> directory and how to make sure it's created?" maybe related to this issue. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

by Andrei Borzenkov 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Just updated zypper and running zypper patch second time got rather funny looking picture (http://susepaste.org/60056148) - every package and patch name has initial character colored. Is it expected? zypper 1.11.17 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Btrfs and SSD
by Paul Carlson 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

I'm about do do an install of openSUSE 13.2 on a new Samsung 850 Pro SSD. Opinions on the internet about both the shape of the earth and the wisdom of using various filesystems on SSDs differ. My intention is to use conventional partitioning and accept the defaults of btrfs and xfs for / and /home respectively. I don't want to use LVM for a number of reasons, chiefly because this has to co-exist with a Ubuntu system (partially on the same drive) because I support family who use Ubuntu and Kylin (the Ubuntu flavor for Chinese speakers). I'm reasonably familiar with SUSE, having used it from 9.1 until I got discouraged with it somewhere around 10.2 and KDE 4.0. There are some warnings out there about using btrfs on SSDs due to excessive writes. Does anyone here have any experience or wisdom on this to share? Will the installer recognize that it is installing on an SSD and make the appropriate changes to fstab, or will I have to do it by hand later? On ext4 filesystems I've been adding noatime to SSD mounts. Is this recommended for btrfs and xfs? -- Paul Carlson N 39.4448 W 119.7503 Elv. 1360m -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Plasma Desktop and Plasmoids
by Radule Šoškić 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hi list, I've noticed that bugs in some plasmoids can crash the whole Plasma Desktop. E.g, there are cases when Dilbert Comic Plasmoid gets confused with new arrangement on Scot Adams' web site, and it crashes causing the whole Plasma desktop to go off. This makes me wandering about Plasma design, architecture, security and other conceptual stuff. I mean, the widgets (plasmoids) come from all sort of sources (it's meant to be like that), and it seems that any of them can crash my desktop at any time. If they can crash it, than it means they can do a lot of other stuff as well. One would expect that Plasma should be better isolated from plasmoid impact on its stability. Just thinking that somebody on this list might come with more insightful and educative comment. Will Plasma 5 bring anything new in this regard? ~rmš~ N��r��y隊Z)z{.�ﮞ˛��m�)z{.��+�:�{Zr�az�'z��j)h��Ǿ� ޮ�^�ˬz��

[opensuse] What is /run/user/<user-id> directory and how to make sure it's created?
by Istvan Gabor 25 Jan '15

25 Jan '15

Hello: I would like to help users by logging in through VNC session. Since the user doesn't have strong password I don't allow to log in the user through ssh. Instead I log in in my name and then su to that user and start the vncserver. Briefly: ssh <user1> target.machine user1@target> su user2 user2@target> vncserver :1 So far it's OK. When I try to connect to the vncserver I get only a blank window with an error message: Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation. VNC log file shows: Error: cannot create directory "/run/user/1002": Permission denied startkde: Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation. 1002 is the UID of user2. I guess as I su-ed to user 2 from user1 login, the directory hasn't been created. How can I fix this one? If the given user is logged in locally this problem doesn't appear, but I need to use the VNC session even if the user is logged out.

[opensuse] what's with the new zypper bling-bling?
by Per Jessen 25 Jan '15

25 Jan '15

http://files.jessen.ch/zypper-bling1.jpeg http://files.jessen.ch/zypper-bling2.jpeg Isn't it a little over the top? What's with the first letter of each package being given a colour too?? The red and green do not make the text any more legible, IMHO. In fact the opposite. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.7°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] firefox blocks google
by jdd 25 Jan '15

25 Jan '15

Hello, since some days, most of the google links gives only a blank page in firefox. like this one http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=CUUqC93vCVKCCOa6V0wW87o… I have to remove the google part (if possible) to access the web page. This may be related (or not) from the fact that I installed addblock and addblock plus. But since I removed these two apps with no change. any idea? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
