[opensuse] kvm and virtualbox
by Albert Oszkó 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi all, It is all my fault, I was not careful enough. I wanted to check KVM against Virtualbox, cause I read it is better, faster, etc. So I imported my vbox guests into it. Now I think I would stay with vbox, because it works better on this hardware. The only thing is that I cannot boot the guests anymore. How can I get back them, How to unload, unmount, release, or any other method, to free it from kvm. I tried a few things following and adopting the hints found for ubuntu, but none of them worked.

[opensuse] Can't hibernate (Leap, xfce)
by Carlos E. R 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi, After clicking on Hibernate on desktop (xfce), I get the screensaver, but it does not hibernate. So I enter my password, and back to the desktop I see two popup messages. One says: Authentication is required for hibernating the system while other users are logged in. And it wants my root password. Another popup says Failed to run action "hibernate", Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: bla bla bla. Log shows: Nov 9 03:11:35 Minas-Anor polkitd[843]: Operator of unix-session:17 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions for system-bus-name::1.407 [xfce4-session] (owned by unix-user:cer) This was reported as bug years ago, I think by me. Still unsolved, I see. On 13.1 I bypass the issue by typing, as root, "pm-hibernate". But Leap doesn't use pm-utils. What should I use to hibernate, then? -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] No sound (leap, xfce)
by Carlos E. R 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi, While I set up sound in YaST, I have sound. I get sound from VLC that is playing. But when yast finishes configuring sound, then sounds stops, nothing can be heard. In fact, the volume applet has a [X] symbol, and right click pops up a message that says: gstreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem Yet, as I say, as soon as I tell yast to configure sound, it plays fine. When it exits, sounds stops. Hardware is 82801 (ICH9 Family) HD Audio controller. It works find in oS 13.1 -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] What is the new halt entry in the grub2 menu after upgrade to suse leap?
by cagsm 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

I think the second reboot after my leap update of my 13.2 suse boxes, gave me an additional halt entry at the very bottom of the grub2 menu. I have never tried this halt entry, but why is it there or what is it exactly? I think it maybe got put there when I removed the old linux kernel 3.x that was still a left over after the leap 42.1 linux kernel 4.1 package came in with the leap update. So I thought I could rpm -e the surplus linux kernel that stayed there from the suse 13.2 days. Anyone? Thank`s. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] PHP and Perl will be downgraded during 13.2 -> 42.1 upgrade
by Bjoern Voigt 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

At first I couldn't believe it: If I upgrade my distribution from 13.2 to Leap 42.1, PHP is downgraded from 5.6.1 to 5.5.14 and Perl is downgraded from 5.20.1 to 5.18.2. See: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=opensuse https://software.opensuse.org/package/php5?search_term=%22php5%22 https://software.opensuse.org/package/perl?search_term=%22perl%22 I think, this should be noted in Release Notes. Especially some very new PHP code may fail after the "upgrade". I also wonder, how "zypper dup" or DVD upgrade handles the downgraded packages.

[opensuse] Can an hibernated system be started (thawed) using a different kernel.
by Carlos E. R. 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi, Say I hibernate Leap (it is a multiboot machine). Say on restore I boot 13.1, which as it shares the same swap, would see there is an hibernated image in swap and try it. But... would it be restored properly, or would something terrible happen? Obviously, I don't want to try it on real hardware. Perhaps on a virtual one. But perhaps this is known to work, or to not work :-? -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.
